(vii) all Liabilities arising under the WARN Act or any similar state or local “mass layoff” or “plant closing” Laws arising out or relating to actions taken by Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the applicable Closing at the Covina Facility or the Puerto Rico Facility.

The assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Buyer hereunder shall not enlarge any rights of third parties under Contracts or other arrangements with Buyer or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and nothing herein shall prevent any Party from, in good faith, contesting with any third party any of said Liabilities.

Buyer’s obligations under this Section 2.2(a) shall not be subject to offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any right or alleged right to indemnification hereunder or thereunder; provided that the foregoing shall in no way be interpreted to limit or impair the indemnification or other rights of the Buyer Group under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

The Company shall retain, and shall be responsible for paying, performing and discharging when due, and Buyer shall not assume or have any responsibility for, any Liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the applicable Closing other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Excluded Liabilities”), including, without limitation:

(viii) except to the extent expressly assumed under Section 2.2(a) or as otherwise provided in Section 9.7, all Liabilities of the Mexico Subsidiary existing as of the Initial Closing.

The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer is not assuming or becoming liable for any Liabilities of the Company Group, and the Company Group shall remain exclusively liable for all of the Excluded Liabilities.

The Company’s obligations under this Section 2.2(b) shall not be subject to offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any right or alleged right to indemnification hereunder or thereunder; provided that the foregoing shall in no way be interpreted to limit or impair the indemnification or other rights of the Company Group under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

(a) The Company, on behalf of the Company Group, and Buyer, on behalf of the Buyer Group, have agreed to allocate the Total Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets, as set forth on Schedule 2.4(a) (the “Allocation Schedule”). Each of the Company, on behalf of the Company Group, and Buyer, on behalf of the Buyer Group, acknowledges that the Allocation Schedule was prepared at arm’s length based upon a good faith estimate of fair market values of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Each of the Company, Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall prepare and file its Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) on a basis consistent with the Allocation Schedule and shall take no position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule on any Tax Return or in any proceeding before any Taxing Authority or otherwise. In the event that the Allocation Schedule is disputed by any Taxing Authority, the Party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other Party, and both the Company and Buyer agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Allocation in any audit or similar proceeding.

(a) Initial Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Initial Closing Purchased Assets shall take place at the offices of Goodwin Procter LLP, 53 State Street, Boston, MA 02109 (or such other place as may be mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Company), on the third (3rd) Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 (or on such other date as may be mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Company) (the “Initial Closing Date”), and shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. Boston time (the “Initial Closing”).

2.6. Inventory Estimate. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Initial Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Estimated Inventory Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith determination of the estimated inventory balance of the Product Lines as of the Initial Closing (the “Estimated Inventory”). The Estimated Inventory Statement shall be accompanied by all applicable supporting documentation and any additional information reasonably requested by Buyer. The calculation of the items set forth in the Estimated Inventory Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Estimated Inventory Statement, Buyer by written notice to the Company may object to the Estimated Inventory, setting forth in such notice Buyer’s objections in reasonable detail, specifying the basis for such objections, the amounts in dispute and Buyer’s determination of the Estimated Inventory (a “Pre-Closing Notice of Objection”). If Buyer gives a Pre-Closing Notice of Objection to the Company, Buyer and the Company shall attempt to resolve all matters set forth therein by negotiation, and to the extent all matters set forth therein are not resolved prior to the Initial Closing, the Estimated Inventory shall be the Estimated Inventory set forth in the Pre-Closing Notice of Objection. If Buyer does not give a Pre-Closing Notice of Objection to Buyer in the manner described above, the Estimated Inventory shall be the Estimated Inventory set forth in the Estimated Inventory Statement.

(a) Closing Inventory Statement. Promptly, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Initial Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Company a written statement (the “Closing Inventory Statement”) setting forth the inventory balance of the Product Lines (other than inventory relating to the HDC Line) as of the Initial Closing (the “Closing Inventory”). The calculation of the items set forth in the Closing Inventory Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that such calculation shall also be based on a calculation of inventory using a full physical inventory count to be conducted by the Parties within approximately forty-five (45) days after the Initial Closing. Unless within the thirty (30) day period following the Company’s receipt of the Closing Inventory Statement, the Company delivers written notice to Buyer (the “Inventory Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement related to the Closing Inventory Statement, including the basis therefor and the amount thereof (each, an “Inventory Item of Dispute”), the Closing Inventory Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties. The Company shall and shall cause its Affiliates to cooperate fully with Buyer in connection with the preparation of the Closing Inventory Statement. After the delivery of the Closing Inventory Statement, Buyer shall cooperate with the Company in connection with its review of the Closing Inventory Statement, including, without limitation, by providing the Company and its accountants reasonable access during normal business hours to materials used in the preparation of the Closing Inventory Statement.

(b) Dispute Resolution by the Parties. If the Company delivers the Inventory Dispute Notice to Buyer within the required thirty (30) day period, Buyer and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to resolve their differences concerning the Inventory Items of Dispute, and if any Inventory Item of Dispute is so resolved, the Closing Inventory Statement shall be modified as necessary to reflect such resolution. If all Inventory Items of Dispute are so resolved, the Closing Inventory Statement (as so modified) shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

(c) Determination by Accounting Firm. If any Inventory Item of Dispute remains unresolved for a period of thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Inventory Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Company shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, submit the dispute to the Boston office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Accounting Firm”). Buyer and the Company shall each provide their respective calculations of the Closing Inventory and the Inventory Items of Dispute in writing to the Accounting Firm and shall request that the Accounting Firm render a written determination, which determination shall be solely based on whether each such Inventory Item of Dispute was prepared in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (including GAAP) or whether each such Inventory Item of Dispute contains a mathematical or clerical error or errors, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after its retention, and the Parties shall cooperate fully with the Accounting Firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable. The Accounting Firm’s determination as to each Inventory Item of Dispute submitted to it shall be in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error or willful misconduct, and the Closing Inventory shall be modified to the extent necessary to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and the Company, on the basis for each such Party, of the ratio of (A) the positive difference between the amount of Closing Inventory submitted by such Party and the determination made by the Accounting Firm to (B) the positive difference between the Closing Inventory amounts submitted by each Party.

(d) Final Closing Inventory. The Closing Inventory shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 2.7 upon the earliest of (x) the failure of the Company to provide Buyer with an Inventory Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Inventory Statement, (y) the resolution of all Inventory Items of Dispute pursuant to Section 2.7(b) by the Company and Buyer and (z) the resolution of all Inventory Items of Dispute pursuant to Section 2.7(c) by the Accounting Firm. Upon the final determination of the Closing Inventory as set forth in this Section 2.7(d), Buyer shall adjust, if applicable, the Closing Inventory Statement accordingly and such adjusted Closing Inventory Statement shall be deemed final.

(e) Inventory Adjustment. If the amount of the Closing Inventory as reflected on the final Closing Inventory Statement is less than the Estimated Inventory, then the Company shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such shortfall. If the amount of the Closing Inventory as reflected on the final Closing Inventory Statement is greater than the Estimated Inventory, then Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such excess. Any such payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Inventory Statement becomes final and binding upon the Parties, together, in either case, with interest thereon from the Initial Closing Date to the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the prime rate as of the Initial Closing Date as stated in The Wall Street Journal plus one percent (1%) per annum.

(f) No Impact of Rights under Article VIII. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.7 will be treated by the Parties for all purposes as an adjustment to the Initial Closing Purchase Price, will not be subject to offset for any reason and will not impact the rights or obligations of the Parties with respect to indemnification as provided in Article VIII.

(a) Adjusted EBITDA. No fewer than ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Initial Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer the Audited Financial Statements and a schedule setting forth the calculation of EBITDA for the year ended July 31, 2011 and the adjustments to EBITDA made in accordance with the Agreed EBITDA Principles to determine the Adjusted EBITDA (together, the “Adjusted Audited Financial Statements”). Unless, within the 10-day period following Buyer’s receipt of the Adjusted Audited Financial Statements (the “EBITDA Review Period”), Buyer delivers written notice to the Company (the “EBITDA Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement related to the Adjusted Audited Financial Statements, including the basis therefor and the amount thereof (each, an “Item of Dispute”), the Adjusted EBITDA shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties. After the delivery of the Adjusted Audited Financial Statements, the Company shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with its review thereof, including, without limitation, by providing Buyer and its accountants reasonable access during normal business hours to materials used in the preparation of the Adjusted Audited Financial Statements.

(i) If Buyer delivers the EBITDA Dispute Notice to the Company within the EBITDA Review Period, and if such EBITDA Dispute Notice asserts that the Adjusted EBITDA is greater than $62,941,300, Buyer and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to resolve their differences concerning the EBITDA Items of Dispute, and if any Item of Dispute is so resolved, the amount of the Adjusted EBITDA shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. If all EBITDA Items of Dispute are so resolved, the amount of the Adjusted EBITDA (as so adjusted) shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties. If any EBITDA Items of Dispute remain unresolved on the Initial Closing Date, the Initial Closing Purchase Price shall be calculated using an Adjusted EBITDA equal to the average of the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Buyer’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, taking into account any resolved EBITDA Items of Dispute as if such Adjusted EBITDA was the Agreed Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of determining the Purchase Price Upward Adjustment or the Purchase Price Downward Adjustment, as applicable (the “Estimated Adjusted EBITDA”). In the event that the Agreed Adjusted EBITDA as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.8(d) is not equal to the Estimated Adjusted EBITDA, then the original Initial Closing Purchase Price (the “Original Initial Closing Purchase Price”) shall be recalculated using such Agreed Adjusted EBITDA (the “Adjusted Initial Closing Purchase Price”). In the event that the Adjusted Initial Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Original Initial Closing Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay the amount of such excess to the Company with interest thereon from the Initial Closing Date to the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the prime rate as of the Initial Closing Date as stated in The Wall Street Journal plus one percent (1%) per annum. In the event that the Adjusted Initial Closing Purchase Price is less than the Original Initial Closing Purchase Price, then the Company shall pay the amount of such difference to Buyer with interest thereon from the Initial Closing Date to the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the prime rate as of the Initial Closing Date as stated in The Wall Street Journal plus one percent (1%) per annum. Buyer agrees not to submit an EBITDA Dispute Notice if and to the extent that the dispute relates to the Audited Financial Statements and the amount of the disagreement would, if successful, result in less than a $200,000 adjustment to operating income reflected in such Audited Financial Statements.

(ii) If Buyer delivers the EBITDA Dispute Notice to the Company within the EBITDA Review Period, and if the EBITDA Dispute Notice asserts that the Adjusted EBITDA is less than $62,941,300, the Initial Closing shall be postponed inter alia pending the resolution of such EBITDA Items of Dispute and Buyer and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to resolve their differences concerning the EBITDA Items of Dispute, and if any Item of Dispute is so resolved, the amount of the Adjusted EBITDA shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. If all EBITDA Items of Dispute are so resolved, the amount of the Adjusted EBITDA (as so adjusted) shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

(i) If any Item of Dispute delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(i) remains unresolved as of the Initial Closing Date, Buyer and the Company shall, within five (5) days after the Initial Closing Date, submit such Item of Dispute to the Accounting Firm. Buyer and the Company shall each provide their respective calculations of the Adjusted EBITDA and the EBITDA Items of Dispute in writing to the Accounting Firm and shall request that the Accounting Firm render a written determination, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after its retention, and the Parties shall cooperate fully with the Accounting Firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable. The Accounting Firm’s determination as to each Item of Dispute submitted to it shall be in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error or willful misconduct, and the Adjusted EBITDA amount shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and the Company, on the basis for each such Party, of the ratio of (A) the positive difference between the amount of Adjusted EBITDA submitted by such Party and the determination made by the Accounting Firm to (B) the positive difference between the Adjusted EBITDA amounts submitted by each Party.

(ii) If any Item of Dispute delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(ii) remains unresolved for a period of five (5) days after the Company’s receipt of the EBITDA Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Company shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, submit the dispute to the Accounting Firm. Buyer and the Company shall each provide their respective calculations of the Adjusted EBITDA and the EBITDA Items of Dispute in writing to the Accounting Firm and shall request that the Accounting Firm render a written determination, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after its retention, and the Parties shall cooperate fully with the Accounting Firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable. The Accounting Firm’s determination as to each Item of Dispute submitted to it shall be in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error or willful misconduct, and the Adjusted EBITDA amount shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and the Company, on the basis for each such Party, of the ratio of (A) the positive difference between the amount of Adjusted EBITDA submitted by such Party and the determination made by the Accounting Firm to (B) the positive difference between the Adjusted EBITDA amounts submitted by each Party. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any Item of Dispute delivered pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(ii) remains unresolved for a period of five (5) days after the Company’s receipt of the EBITDA Dispute Notice, the Initial Closing shall be postponed inter alia pending the resolution of such EBITDA Items of Dispute.

(d) Agreed Adjusted EBITDA. The amount of the Adjusted EBITDA shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 2.8 upon the earliest of (x) the failure of Buyer to provide the Company with an EBITDA Dispute Notice within the EBITDA Review Period, (y) the resolution of all EBITDA Items of Dispute pursuant to Section 2.8(b) by the Company and Buyer and (z) the resolution of all EBITDA Items of Dispute pursuant to Section 2.8(c) by the Accounting Firm. Upon the final determination of the Adjusted EBITDA as set forth in this Section 2.8, such Adjusted EBITDA shall be deemed final (the “Agreed Adjusted EBITDA”).

(e) No Impact of Rights under Article VIII. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.8 will be treated by the Parties for all purposes as an adjustment to the Initial Closing Purchase Price, will not be subject to offset for any reason and will not impact the rights or obligations of the Parties with respect to indemnification as provided in Article VIII.

(a) The Company, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, enter into, or cause their respective Affiliates to enter into, on a Closing Date, (i) a bill of sale in the form agreed by the Parties, (ii) an assignment and assumption agreement in the form agreed by the Parties, (iii) a local asset transfer agreement for each jurisdiction other than the United States in which any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability is located in the form agreed by the Parties (collectively, the “Local Transfer Documents”) substantially in the forms provided as Exhibit B-1 and (iv) an assignment of the quotas in the Mexico Subsidiary in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Equity Assignment” and, together with the Local Transfer Documents and the documents referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, the “Transfer Documents”), documenting the purchase and sale of each portion of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to be conveyed separately to the Buyer Group, with such modifications as are required by local Law, in order to maintain substantially the same legal meaning and effect as provided for in this Agreement.

(b) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Transfer Document, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail to the extent permissible under the relevant local Law. The execution of the Transfer Documents shall constitute a mere execution and not a novation of this Agreement and the Parties shall remain subject to all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Contract if an attempted assignment thereof, without consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or the Company thereunder. From the date of this Agreement until the required consent to assignment is obtained, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts, including making reasonable payments if necessary, to obtain the consent of the other parties to each Purchased Contract for the assignment thereof to Buyer (all such consents necessary for the assignment of each Purchased Contract, collectively a “Third Party Consent”).

(b) Without limiting the condition of Initial Closing set forth in Section 6.1(h), with respect to each Purchased Contract for which a Third Party Consent could not be obtained prior to the Initial Closing (other than any Purchased Contract which requires the Company or any counterparty to expend less than $15,000 in a 12-month period), the Company shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts from and after the Initial Closing to cause the counterparty to each such Purchased Contract to consent to the assignment of such Purchased Contract to Buyer or to otherwise enter into a new Contract with Buyer on substantially the same terms as exist under the applicable Purchased Contract. Until any such consent or new Contract is obtained, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company in any lawful and reasonable arrangement, to the extent such cooperation would not result in a breach of the terms of such Purchased Contract, and not prohibited under applicable Law, under which the Buyer Group would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations of such Purchased Contract in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing, or subleasing to Buyer Group any or all of the Company Group’s rights and obligations with respect to such Purchased Contract. In any such arrangement, Buyer shall (i) pay, perform or discharge when due any Liabilities arising thereunder after the Initial Closing but not transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.10, and shall be solely responsible for completion of the work or provision of goods and services, (ii) bear all Taxes with respect thereto or arising therefrom and (iii) be solely entitled to all benefits thereof, economic or otherwise. If and when such Third Party Consent has been obtained or such other required actions have been taken, the assignment of such Purchased Contract will be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i) the Company has obtained all Third Party Consents to the assignment of a Material Contract under Section 2.10(a);

(ii) the Material Contract has been replaced or superseded by a new Contract between Buyer and the counterparty to the Material Contract on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Material Contract;

(iii) the Material Contract has been assigned in part to Buyer as a Shared Contract pursuant to Section 2.11(a); or

(iv) with respect to Material Contracts that Buyer cannot assume as a result of Buyer’s lack of necessary licenses or registrations, Buyer shall have agreed to enter into an agreement with the Company as a distributor or supplier of Products on behalf of Buyer (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either Party).

(a) Each Shared Contract which, pursuant to its terms, may be assigned in part to Buyer without the consent of the counterparty thereto or other conditions, including pursuant to the payment of a transfer or other fee (the “Assignable Shared Contracts”), shall be deemed to be a Purchased Contract hereunder and the Company shall partially assign to Buyer, as of the Initial Closing, such Contract in accordance with its terms. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Initial Closing to cause the counterparty to each Shared Contract that is not an Assignable Shared Contract (the “Non-Assignable Shared Contracts”) to consent to the partial assignment of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to Buyer, or to otherwise enter into a new Contract with Buyer on substantially the same terms as exist under such Non-Assignable Shared Contract, in each case as of the Initial Closing. Each such Non-Assignable Shared Contract for which the Parties have received consent to the partial assignment shall thereafter be deemed to be a Purchased Contract hereunder and, if applicable, the Company shall partially assign to Buyer as of the Initial Closing such Non-Assignable Shared Contract in accordance with its terms.

(b) With respect to each Purchased Contract that is a Non-Assignable Shared Contract for which the arrangements described in Section 2.11(a) could not be entered into prior to the Initial Closing, the Company shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts from and after the Initial Closing, including making reasonable payments if necessary, to cause the counterparty to each such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to consent to the partial assignment of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to Buyer or to otherwise enter into a new Contract with Buyer on substantially the same terms as exist under the applicable Non-Assignable Shared Contract. Until any such consent or new Contract is obtained, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company in any lawful and reasonable arrangement, to the extent such cooperation would not result in a breach of the terms of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract, and not prohibited under applicable Law, under which the Buyer Group would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations of the portion of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract that relates to the Product Lines in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing, or subleasing to Buyer Group any or all of the Company Group’s rights and obligations with respect to such Non-Assignable Shared Contract with respect to the Product Lines. In any such arrangement, Buyer shall to the extent related to the Product Lines (i) pay, perform or discharge when due any Liabilities arising thereunder after the Initial Closing but not transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.11, and shall be solely responsible for completion of the work or provision of goods and services, (ii) bear all Taxes with respect thereto or arising therefrom and (iii) be solely entitled to all benefits thereof, economic or otherwise. If and when such consents or approvals are obtained or such other required actions have been taken, the partial assignment of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract will be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relocation of any Purchased Assets located at any facilities currently occupied by the Company or any other member of the Company Group, which facilities are not to be purchased, assigned, leased, subleased, transferred to or otherwise occupied by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be governed by the Transition Services Agreement.

The Company shall permit Buyer and its authorized Representatives to have access, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, to the assets, properties, books, accounting, financial and statistical records (including auditor work papers), corporate records (including, as permitted by applicable Law employee records and historical environmental and health and safety data relating to the Facilities), contracts, employees, independent contractors, customers, vendors, distributors and manufacturers in each case related to the Product Lines as provided in Section 5.9 and Schedule 5.9 thereunder in order to complete the Confirmatory Due Diligence contemplated by Section 5.9; provided that such access shall be provided in a manner that will not unduly disrupt the Company’s business. The Parties shall mutually agree as to a plan and schedule for transition and integration meetings and planning to take place between the date hereof and Initial Closing. Buyer’s access hereunder, the Buyer’s Confirmatory Due Diligence pursuant to Section 5.9 and Schedule 5.9 and transition and integration planning by Buyer shall not affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company (or Buyer’s remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. The Company shall furnish such financial, operating and other data and information related to (a) the Product Lines as Buyer may reasonably request through the Initial Closing and (b) the HDC Line (including the HDC Project) as Buyer may reasonably request through the Subsequent Closing. The foregoing covenant will not require the Company to provide Buyer or its Representatives with access to any document or other communication that the Company believes in good faith may be subject to any contractual confidentiality obligation or that may be covered by any attorney-client, work product or similar legal privilege. Further, Buyer shall not have access to personnel records of the Company relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other personnel information to the extent the Company may not legally disclose such information under applicable Law.

(a) From the date of this Agreement through each of the Closings, the Company and Buyer shall promptly advise the other Party in writing of: (a) any written notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document; (b) written notice from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or regarding any violation or alleged violation of Law; (c) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any fact or event which would be reasonably likely to (i) cause any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement to become untrue or inaccurate, or (ii) cause any covenant, condition or agreement hereunder not to be complied with or satisfied; (d) the failure of it to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; or (e) any change, event, condition or development that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that in no event shall any such notification affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, except as otherwise explicitly provided herein. To the extent any event occurs or situation arises which results or is reasonably likely to result in a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by any Party under this Agreement, such Party shall use its reasonable efforts to cure such breach prior to the relevant Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party (as applicable, an “Updating Party”) shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable from the date of this Agreement through each of the Closings, by written notice to the other Party (as applicable, the “Notified Party”), supplement such Updating Party’s Schedule or add a Schedule to such Updating Party’s Schedule (such added Schedule to be deemed a supplement hereunder) in order to disclose any matter that, if occurring prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Updating Party’s Schedule delivered on the date hereof or to correct any inaccuracy or breach in the representations and warranties made by such Updating Party in this Agreement (a “Schedule Update”). Upon receipt of a Schedule Update, the Notified Party shall promptly, and in any event not later than ten (10) days following receipt thereof (the “Notice Period”), review such Schedule Update. If, during such Notice Period, as a result of one or more Schedule Updates, the Notified Party becomes aware of one or more facts, conditions or occurrences that, without giving effect to any such Schedule Update, constitute, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, (i) if the Updating Party is the Company, a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) if the Updating Party is Buyer, a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to perform its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, in each case either as of the date of the Schedule Update or as of the relevant Closing (a “Schedule Update Termination Event”), the Notified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(d) during the Notice Period. If the Notified Party elects not to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(d), the Notified Party and its Affiliates shall retain the right to assert, after the relevant Closing, any claim pursuant to Article VIII hereof or otherwise, including, without limitation, to the extent that such claim relates to matters set out in a Schedule Update prepared in accordance with this Section 5.3(b), in which case such Schedule Update shall be disregarded and not be deemed to constitute a part of the Company Schedule or Buyer Schedule, as the case may be.

5.4. Consummation of Agreements; Consents. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5 and Section 5.7, each of the Company and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to perform and fulfill all conditions and obligations to be performed and fulfilled under this Agreement by it, to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be fully carried out. In this regard, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, including making reasonable payments as necessary, to obtain, prior to each of the Closings, all approvals and other authorizations, waivers and consents, if any, necessary to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the consent of each other party to any Purchased Contract and any Shared Contract, to the extent a consent is required by the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything express or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer be required to make any payment to any third party in order to obtain any consent, approval or waiver under any Contract.

(a) As promptly as practicable and advisable, each Party hereto undertakes and agrees to file or cause to be filed any necessary filings and apply for such approvals and consents as are required under any applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case to the extent such filings and applications have not been satisfied prior to the date of this Agreement. The filing fees to be paid with respect to any notifications or filings under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws shall be paid one-half by each of Buyer and the Company.

(b) Subject to applicable Law and except as prohibited by any Antitrust Authority, each of Buyer and the Company, acting through outside counsel, agree to coordinate and cooperate fully and promptly with each other in exchanging information and providing assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with any filing, submission, investigation or other inquiry related to the transactions contemplated herein, including any proceeding initiated by a private party. Each of Buyer and the Company shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries received from, and requests for additional information and documentary material by, any Antitrust Authority, (ii) promptly notify the other Party of any written or oral communication to that Party from any Antitrust Authority, and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) provide to the other Party, and permit the other party to review and comment in advance of submission, all proposed correspondence, filings, and written communications with any Antitrust Authority with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) not participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Antitrust Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, except as prohibited by applicable Law or the Antitrust Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat, and (v) in the event one Party is prohibited by applicable Law or the Antitrust Authority from participating in or attending any meetings or conferences, keep the other promptly and reasonably apprised with respect thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything express or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Buyer to propose, negotiate, offer to commit and effect (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect), by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any assets of the Product Lines or of Buyer and its Affiliates, or otherwise offer to take or offer to commit to take any action (including, without limitation, any action that limits its freedom of action, ownership or control with respect to, or its ability to retain or hold, any of the businesses, assets, product lines, properties or services of the Product Lines, Buyer or any of its Affiliates) which it is lawfully capable of taking and if the offer is accepted, take or commit to take such action, in each case as may be required in order to avoid the commencement of any action or proceeding to prohibit any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or if already commenced, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any action or proceeding. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, publicly or before any Antitrust Authority or other third party, offer, suggest, propose or negotiate, and shall not commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any sale, divestiture, disposition, prohibition or limitation or other action of a type described in this subparagraph.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 5.5(c) and except for (i) the transaction Buyer was evaluating on the date of the Letter of Intent and (ii) transactions solely between Buyer and its Affiliates, from the date hereof through the earlier of the Initial Closing or the termination of the Agreement pursuant to Article VII, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) From the date hereof through the earlier of the Initial Closing (with respect to the Product Lines), the Subsequent Closing (solely with respect to the HDC Line) or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, the Company will not, and will cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or knowingly encourage any proposal, initiate or hold discussions, respond to expressions of interest or offers, provide any confidential information to, or enter into any agreement with, a third party, or otherwise cooperate with a third party in connection with (i) any sale or other disposition of the Product Lines or the HDC Line, as applicable, in whole or in part through merger, consolidation, business combination, spin-off, sale of equity interests or similar transaction or (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of the assets of the Product Lines or the HDC Line, as applicable, in whole or in part (other than sales of the Products in the ordinary course of business) (each transaction described in clause (i) or (ii), a “Competing Transaction”). The Company agrees to promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) communicate to Buyer the terms of any proposal or offer or request for information (including the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer or request) which it may receive in respect of, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction and shall furnish Buyer with a copy of any writing related thereto. The Company shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.6(a) by its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives.

(b) From the date hereof through the earlier of the Initial Closing or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, initiate or hold discussions, respond to expressions of interest or offers, or enter into any agreement with, any third party, or otherwise cooperate with any third party in connection with any proposed acquisition of any material assets, entities, businesses or product lines that compete with the Product Lines, except for the transaction Buyer was evaluating on the date of the Letter of Intent. Buyer shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.6(b) by its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Company’s compliance with its obligations contained in this Agreement, Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements (the “Definitive Agreements”) with respect to the Financing (and any Alternate Financing) on the terms and subject only to the conditions contained in the Commitment Letter (and any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing), or, to the extent the Financing (or any Alternate Financing) contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing) is not available to Buyer, on other terms and conditions not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Buyer; (ii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain a waiver of) all conditions to obtaining the Financing (or any Alternate Financing) set forth in the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing) applicable to Buyer or any of its Affiliates that are within the control of Buyer or any such Affiliate; (iii) comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing) or obtain a waiver of compliance with such obligations; and (iv) subject to Section 5.7(d), enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing).

(b) Prior to the Initial Closing, the Company shall (and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) provide, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives (and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives), including legal and accounting Representatives, to provide, in each case, at Buyer’s expense (it being understood and agreed, however, that the Company (and not Buyer) shall be responsible for (1) de minimis expenses, (2) fees payable to existing legal, financial or other advisors of the Company with respect to services provided prior to the Initial Closing Date, (3) any ordinary course amounts payable to existing employees of or consultants to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to services provided prior to the Initial Closing Date and (4) any amounts that would have been incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of the Available Financing (as defined below) (collectively, the “Company Expenses”)), all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer and that is necessary in connection with arranging and obtaining the Financing, any Alternate Financing or any permitted amended or modified Financing or Alternate Financing (collectively, the “Available Financing”), including without limitation (i) assisting Buyer with the preparation of information memoranda and packages, lender presentations, lender syndication materials and similar documents and materials, in connection with the Available Financing, including any syndication thereof, (ii) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations and due diligence sessions (including bring down diligence sessions) in connection with the Available Financing, including direct contact between senior management and Representatives of the Company Group, Buyer and the Financing Sources in the Available Financing, (iii) (x) delivering to Buyer (A) the Required Closing Financial Statements, and (B) such other financial statements reasonably required by the Financing Sources in accordance with the Commitment Letter (collectively, the financial statements referred to in clause (A) and (B) above, the “Required Financial Information”), and (y) using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s independent auditors to provide consent to the use of the Required Financial Information in the offering documents to the extent required, (iv) assisting in the preparation of, and executing and delivering, definitive financing documents, including any applicable collateral documents, hedging agreements or other certificates or documents as may be requested by Buyer, (v) facilitating the pledging of any collateral for the Available Financing, (vi) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents, waivers, estoppels, approvals, authorizations and instruments which may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the Available Financing and collateral arrangements, including customary payoff letters, lien releases, instruments of termination or discharge, legal opinions, appraisals, engineering reports, surveys, title insurance, landlord consents, waivers and access agreements and (vii) facilitating the consummation of the Available Financing, including cooperating with Buyer to satisfy the conditions precedent to the Available Financing to the extent within the reasonable control of the Company Group, and taking all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Initial Closing, reasonably requested by Buyer to permit the consummation of the Available Financing and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available to the Company immediately upon the Initial Closing Date; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment fee or other fee or payment to obtain consent or to incur any Liability with respect to the Available Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Required Financial Information required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.7(b) shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and, if appropriate, the Agreed EBITDA Principles and the SEC Letters. The Company further agrees to supplement the Required Financial Information on a reasonably current basis as reasonably requested by Buyer and the Financing Sources. It is understood and agreed that any and all information and documentation provided by the Company or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.7(b) that are delivered to the Financing Sources or their Representatives in accordance with the Commitment Letter shall be subject to customary arrangements for confidentiality.

(c) Buyer shall give the Company prompt notice upon becoming aware of any material breach of any Commitment Letter, any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing or Definitive Agreement (if a Definitive Agreement is executed prior to the Initial Closing) by a party to such Commitment Letter, any commitment letter in respect of Alternate Financing or Definitive Agreement or any termination of any Commitment Letter, commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing or Definitive Agreement (if a Definitive Agreement is executed prior to the Initial Closing). Buyer shall keep the Company informed on a timely basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and any material developments relating to the Financing and shall promptly provide to the Company copies of the executed Definitive Agreements and any other executed agreements in respect of the Financing. Further, Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provisions under, the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing) or any related fee letter or any Definitive Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent, if such amendment, modification or waiver (A) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing (or any Alternate Financing) to below the amount set forth in the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing) unless there is a corresponding increase in the amount of cash expected to be available to Buyer on the Initial Closing Date, (B) imposes additional conditions precedent or contingencies to the initial availability of the Financing (or any Alternate Financing) or amends or modifies any of the existing conditions or contingencies to the provision of the Financing (or any Alternate Financing) in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay, prevent or render less likely to occur the Financing (or any Alternate Financing), or any portion thereof, at the Initial Closing, or (C) adversely impacts the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing) or the definitive agreements with respect thereto. Buyer shall refrain, and shall cause its Affiliates to refrain, from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that is reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the conditions contained in any Commitment Letter, any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing or any Definitive Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 5.7 shall require, and in no event shall the efforts of Buyer be deemed or construed to require, Buyer to (i) bring any enforcement action against any source of the Financing (or any Alternate Financing) to enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing) or any related fee letter or (ii) pay any fees in excess of those contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or any commitment letter in respect of any Alternate Financing) or in any related fee letter (whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise).

(e) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company Group and their respective directors, officers, employees and Representatives from and against Losses incurred by it (or them) in connection with their cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.7 (other than Losses arising from misrepresentations by the Company), other than with respect to the Company Expenses and the delivery of the Required Financial Information.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Commitment Letter is terminated (or is reasonably likely to be terminated after the passage of time) Buyer shall seek replacement commitments from alternate Financing Sources (such portion from alternate Financing Sources, the “Alternate Financing”) on terms and conditions that will enable Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including payment of the Initial Closing Purchase Price in cash; provided that such Alternate Financing shall not be subject to any conditions precedent or other contingencies to the funding of such Alternate Financing that were not conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding of the Financing under the Commitment Letter and would reasonably be expected to delay, prevent or render the Alternate Financing (or any portion thereof) materially less likely to occur at the Initial Closing than the Financing under the Commitment Letter.

5.8. Financial Statements. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event no fewer than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Initial Closing, deliver to Buyer: (i) (A) the Company’s audited statements of revenues and direct expenses for the Product Lines as of July 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and (B) the Company’s audited statements of assets acquired and Liabilities assumed for the Product Lines as of July 31, 2011 and 2010, in each case accompanied by the audit report of KPMG LLP and prepared pursuant to GAAP consistently applied and the SEC Letters (collectively, the “Audited Financial Statements”), and (ii) (A) the Company’s unaudited statements of revenues and direct expenses for the Product Lines for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 and (B) the Company’s unaudited statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Product Lines for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, in each case prepared pursuant to GAAP consistently applied and the SEC Letters (collectively, the “Nine-Month Financial Statements”).

5.9. Confirmatory Due Diligence Review. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, and in any event on or before June 1, 2012, provide Buyer access to all of the confirmatory due diligence matters set forth on Schedule 5.9 in sufficient detail and scope as is satisfactory to Buyer (each, a “Confirmatory Due Diligence Category”). Upon making available each specific due diligence item relating to a Confirmatory Due Diligence Category (each, a “Disclosure Item”), the Company shall so notify Buyer by email to Tony Pare at pare@haemonetics.com. Buyer shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days following receipt of the notice from the Company referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, review each Disclosure Item made available and provide the Company with any questions or supplemental requests relating to such Disclosure Item or the Confirmatory Due Diligence Category to which such Disclosure Item relates. Within seven (7) days following the date on which Buyer receives access to all matters relating to each Confirmatory Due Diligence Category, and in any event on or before June 15, 2012, Buyer shall deliver to the Company a notice (a “Supplemental Notice”) summarizing any matters relating to the Confirmatory Due Diligence Categories that have not been provided to the satisfaction of Buyer. The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the matters raised in the Supplemental Notice. If, following the date of this Agreement and prior to the date that is seven (7) days following the Company’s receipt of the Supplemental Notice (the “Confirmatory Due Diligence Review Period”), Buyer discovers or is made aware of one or more facts, occurrences or circumstances relating to any of the Disclosed Due Diligence Categories that, individually or in the aggregate, would (a) require cash outlays in an amount equal to or greater than $3,000,000 or (b) reduce the operating income of the Product Lines in an amount equal to or greater than $1,500,000 (each of Section 5.9(a) and (b), a “Confirmatory Due Diligence Termination Event”), Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h). If the Buyer has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) prior to the end of the relevant Confirmatory Due Diligence Review Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have been provided satisfactory access to each Confirmatory Due Diligence Category and Buyer shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) on account of any Confirmatory Due Diligence Category. No Disclosure Item disclosed to Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall be deemed to qualify or limit any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company (or Buyer’s remedies with respect thereto) contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

5.10. Delivery of Product Line Contracts. At or prior to the Initial Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer true and correct copies of each Product Line Contract (other than those relating to the HDC Line), together with all amendments, waivers and other changes thereto which are not, as of the Initial Closing Date, present at the Ascoli, Covina, Puerto Rico or Tijuana facilities purchased or leased by Buyer, except for Product Line Contracts that the Company has executed or otherwise become a party to within thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Closing (the “Delayed Delivery Contracts”). The Company shall deliver true and correct copies of each Delayed Delivery Contract, together with all amendments, waivers and other changes thereto, within thirty (30) days following the Initial Closing (the “Delayed Delivery Period”). At the Subsequent Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer true and correct copies of each Product Line Contract not otherwise delivered at the Initial Closing or by the Delayed Delivery Date, including without limitation all Contracts related to the HDC Line.

5.11. Claims.

(a) General. The Parties acknowledge that the machinery and equipment of the HDC Line are presently located at the Pensacola Facility. Subject to the timing requirements set forth in this Section 5.15, the Company shall, or shall cause approved Persons to, design, fabricate, manufacture, procure, assemble and install in a portion of building 2 of the Puerto Rico Facility that the Company reasonably designates, occupies and controls (commencing with the installation of the HDC Project at such facility) after the Initial Closing equipment and machinery and related assets, including spare parts (the “New HDC Line”), with such design and performance capability as is equivalent to the assets of the HDC Line located at the Pensacola Facility as of the date hereof. The equipment and machinery of the New HDC Line (i) shall be fabricated, manufactured, assembled and installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable Laws and Permits, (ii) shall satisfy and conform to the current performance standards and specifications of the HDC Line as set forth on Schedule 5.15(a)(i) (collectively, the “Performance Standards”) and (iii) shall produce Media that satisfies the standards and specifications set forth on Schedule 5.15(a)(ii) (the “Media Acceptance Criteria” and, together with the Performance Standards, the “Replication Standards”). The Company’s obligation to install the New HDC Line at the Puerto Rico Facility in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.15 is referred to herein as the “HDC Project.” The Company shall complete the HDC Project at the Company’s sole cost and expense, up to a maximum expenditure by the Company in respect of the design, fabrication, manufacture, procurement, delivery, installation, assembly and performance testing of the New HDC Line equal to $15,000,000 (the “HDC Expense Cap”). Any costs or expenses that exceed the HDC Expense Cap for the design, fabrication, manufacture, procurement, delivery, installation, assembly and performance testing of the New HDC Line shall be for the sole account and expense of Buyer; provided, however, that the Company shall not, without Buyer’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), enter into any Contract or other arrangement, or terminate, modify or amend any Contract related to the HDC Project including change orders, that individually or in the aggregate would cause the Company to incur costs or expenses, or commit to incur costs or expenses with respect to the HDC Project, in excess of the estimate of the total cost of the HDC Project, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 5.15(a)(iii) (the “Estimate”). The Company shall commence the HDC Project promptly following the Initial Closing Date and continuously and diligently carry out the work thereafter. The Company represents that the Performance Standards and the Media Acceptance Standards reflect the current performance of the HDC Line as of the date hereof. Company will hold Buyer harmless from all Liabilities with respect to the HDC Project solely arising from the acts of the Company, its contractors, agents and employees.

(i) Subject to Section 5.15(b)(ii), the Company shall be responsible for the design of the New HDC Line and for ensuring that the New HDC Line is capable of satisfying the Replication Standards. The Company shall select all product designers, product engineering firms, manufacturers and other service or product providers (all of which shall have the necessary technical capacity and technical qualifications to perform their respective obligations necessary in order to develop, design, manufacture, assemble, deliver and install the New HDC Line, all such providers shall be subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval).

(ii) The Company shall provide Buyer with the proposed written design specifications for the New HDC Line (the “Design Specifications”) prior to executing the Contract(s) for the manufacture and assembly of the New HDC Line.

(A) Buyer shall have twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the Design Specifications to review and consider the Design Specifications and, if Buyer does not object to the Design Specifications in writing by the end of such twenty (20) Business Day period, the Design Specifications shall be deemed final and not subject to further change by the Company or Buyer except as may be required by Law, site conditions or as mutually agreed by the Parties. The Company shall cause Buyer to be provided with prompt access to relevant personnel and records (subject to the terms of the Company’s standard non-disclosure agreement) to assist its evaluation.

(B) If Buyer objects in writing to the Design Specifications within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the Design Specifications (the “Design Objection Notice”), the Company and Buyer shall meet to discuss Buyer’s objections and to agree to specifications that are mutually agreeable to the Parties (such period during which the Parties discuss Buyer’s objections to the Design Specification, the “Design Consulting Period”). If the Parties cannot mutually agree to revised written Design Specifications for the New HDC Line within thirty (30) Business Days following the receipt of Design Objection Notice, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 10.14 hereof. The Company’s obligations under Section 5.15(g)(i)(A) shall be extended by the number of days of the Design Consulting Period.

(C) In no event shall the Company be obligated to accept any proposed change to the Design Specifications that would in the reasonable opinion of the Company (1) cause the New HDC Line not to be in compliance with applicable Law, (2) materially increase the size or capacity of the New HDC Line when compared to the HDC Line as of the date hereof or (3) materially increase the estimated time to complete the HDC Project, (4) materially increase the cost to complete the HDC Project (unless Buyer agrees to accept such increased costs for its own account) or (5) otherwise materially change the form, fit or function of the HDC Project, including without limitation, any changes that could be reasonably expected to adversely effect the ability of the HDC Project equipment from satisfying the Replication Standards. In no event shall Buyer be obligated to accept any Design Specifications that would in the reasonable opinion of Buyer (1) materially increase the cost of the HDC Project above that set forth in the Estimate, (2) materially increase the estimated time to complete the HDC Project or (3) otherwise materially change the form, fit or function of the HDC Project, including without limitation, any changes that could be reasonably expected to adversely effect the ability of the HDC Project equipment from satisfying the Replication Standards.

(iii) Within thirty (30) days following the end of each fiscal quarter following the Initial Closing, the Company shall provide to Buyer a written summary setting forth in reasonable detail the status of the HDC Project. The Company shall provide Buyer with an opportunity to submit questions and provide reasonable input with respect to the progress of the HDC Project.

This Agreement may be terminated after the Initial Closing but prior to the Subsequent Closing by written notice to the other Party, by the Company, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, if the Subsequent Closing has not occurred on or prior to July 31, 2017; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor the Company, as the case may be, shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant hereto if such Party’s or Parties’ failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document has prevented the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby at or prior to such time.

(c) Risk Allocation. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein, as modified by the Schedules attached hereto, together with the indemnification provisions herein, are intended among other things to allocate the economic cost and the risks inherent in the transactions contemplated hereby between the Parties and, accordingly, a Party shall be entitled to the indemnification or other remedies provided in this Agreement by reason of any breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, as modified by the Schedules attached hereto, by another Party notwithstanding whether such Party or any employee, representative or agent of the Party seeking to enforce a remedy knew or had reason to know of such breach and regardless of any investigation by such Party.

From and after each of the relevant Closings, and subject to each of the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, the Company shall indemnify Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Buyer Parties in respect of any loss, Liability, demand, claim, action, cause of action, cost, damage, deficiency, Tax, penalty, fine or expense, whether or not arising out of third party claims (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses, court costs and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses” and individually, a “Loss”) which any such Buyer Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, relating or incidental to or by virtue of:

For purposes of this Section 8.2(a), any qualifications as to (a) materiality, using the term “material” (or any variation thereof) or “Material Adverse Effect”, or (b) knowledge, using the “Knowledge of the Company”, in any representation or warranty shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty (or failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct) exists and shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of any Loss with respect to any breach or failure of such representation or warranty to be true and correct in any respect.

(b) Buyer Indemnification. From and after each of the relevant Closings, and subject to each of the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Company Parties”) and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse the Company Parties in respect of any Loss which any such Company Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as the result of, in connection with, relating to or incidental to or by virtue of:

(c) Limitations on Indemnity. Subject to Section 8.1(a), the indemnification provided for in Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(b)(i) above is subject to the following limitations:

(i) No Party shall be liable hereunder with respect to claims referred to in Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i) above unless the other Party gives written notice thereof within thirty (30) days following the Applicable Limitation Date. Notwithstanding any implication to the contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as a Party delivers written notice of a claim no later than thirty (30) days following the Applicable Limitation Date, the other Party shall be required to indemnify hereunder for all Losses that such Parties may incur (subject to clause (c)(ii) below, to the extent applicable) in respect of the matters that are the subject of such claim, regardless of when incurred.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the remainder of this Section 8.2(c)(ii)), no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Buyer Parties or the Company Parties, as the case may be, (A) for any Loss arising under Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i) above unless the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Buyer Parties or the Company Parties, as applicable, exceeds $3,700,000 (the “Basket”), in which case such Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the extent of such excess over the Basket, and (B) for any Loss arising under Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i) to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $80,000,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Basket and the Cap shall not apply with respect to any Loss arising from or related to a breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties and the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in Section 4.1(Organization; Corporate Power) and Section 4.2 (Authorization of Transactions).

(d) Procedure. If a Party seeks indemnification under this Article VIII, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party) or discovering the Liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and the basis thereof;provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its Liabilities hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. In that regard, if any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim shall be brought or asserted by any third party that, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall notify promptly the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and at the Indemnifying Party’s option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to appoint lead counsel of such defense with a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that, in the event that the Indemnifying Party elects to control such defense, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to be fully responsible (with no reservation of rights) for all Losses relating to such claim, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2(c)(ii).

Within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of an indemnification claim, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it disputes all or any portion of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give written notice to the Indemnified Party that it disputes an indemnification claim within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the claim, which shall become immediately due and payable subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2(c)(ii).

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of the defense of an indemnification claim hereunder and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the claim over which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (i) seeks non-monetary relief, (ii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations or (iii) involves a claim that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend.

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to any third-party claim that relates solely to (i) any Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets, over which the Company shall have exclusive control, or (ii) any Assumed Liabilities, over which Buyer shall have exclusive control, including, without limitation, the right to control the defense or settlement of any such claim; provided that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such third-party claim to the extent reasonably required to protect such Indemnified Party’s interests.

If the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to control the defense of any third-party claim as provided above, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense, unless the Indemnifying Party has specifically authorized the employment of such counsel in writing, in which case the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, if the Indemnified Party controls the defense of any such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense. If, on the basis of a written opinion of outside counsel to be provided to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there exists a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to control the defense of any third-party claim as provided above, then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. Similarly, in the event that the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, controlling the defense of any such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim.

(e) Payments. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the agreement of the Indemnifying Party to pay the amount claimed by an Indemnified Party in a claim notice, or (ii) a final determination that any amount is payable by an Indemnifying Party hereunder, such Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party as soon as commercially practicable but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter.

(f) Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree to treat all payments made pursuant to this Article VIII as adjustments to the Total Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof, except to the extent that the Laws of a particular jurisdiction provide otherwise.

(g) Mitigation. The Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss with respect to which it may be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, for the purpose of mitigating any such Loss, no Indemnified Party shall be required to (i) incur any material out-of-pocket costs or expenses or pay any other material amounts to third parties, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing that such costs, expenses or other amounts constitute indemnifiable Losses hereunder, (ii) make any claims (other than claims under existing insurance policies) or initiate any legal proceedings against third parties, or (iii) take any other action to the extent such action would adversely affect such Party in any material respect.

(h) Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 7.3, Section 8.1(a) and Section 10.10, from and after each of the relevant Closings, the indemnification provided pursuant to this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy hereto for any Loss resulting from, with respect to or arising out of any breach or claim in connection with this Agreement and the Transfer Documents, any Schedule hereto or thereto and any certificate delivered in connection herewith or therewith, regardless of the cause of action. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3 and Section 10.10, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit a Party’s right to pursue (i) equitable remedies, including, without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance, or (ii) any rights and remedies of such Party under the License Agreement, Contract Manufacturing Agreement, Supply Agreement, Services Agreement or Transition Services Agreements.

(i) Environmental Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement the obligation of the Company to indemnify the Buyer Parties under Section 8.2(a) is subject to the following limitations:

(i) With respect to any post-Closing remedial, response or other investigation or cleanup action constituting an Environmental Liability (“Remedial Action”) that gives rise to an indemnification obligation of the Company under Section 8.2(a), the Parties shall consult and cooperate with each other in preparing all strategies and plans concerning the development and implementation of the Remedial Action in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.2(i). The Parties shall mutually conduct and control the Remedial Action in all respects, including drafting and filing any and all instruments, reports, documents, and other responses to any Governmental Entity, in connection with any Remedial Action. The Parties shall develop and implement any Remedial Action subject to this Section 8.2(i) utilizing the least stringent clean-up standards and the least costly remediation methods that are allowed under applicable Environmental Requirements, including risk based remedies, institutional and engineering controls, and deed restrictions provided such Remedial Action does not unreasonably interfere with the Buyer Parties’ then current operation of the Product Lines (including consideration of costs incurred in the future). The Buyer Parties will provide the Company (or its representatives) with reasonable access to any real property involved in any Remedial Action for the sole purpose of undertaking, supervising or monitoring any Remedial Action undertaken under this Section 8.2(i) and shall cooperate with the Company to file any deed restrictions or other legal controls required to implement any Remedial Action conducted by the Parties.

(ii) The Company shall not have any Liability with respect to and to the extent any post-Closing Remedial Action undertaken by the Buyer Parties that is not legally required by applicable Environmental Requirements or by a Governmental Entity and does not otherwise conform to the requirements of clause (i) above. Further, the Company shall not be responsible for any Remedial Action to the extent it arises out of sampling and analysis of any environmental media conducted subsequent to any Closing by or on behalf of, or at the request or solicitation of, Buyers Parties unless such sampling and analysis is: (i) required by Environmental Requirements or ordered or required by a Governmental Entity; (ii) performed in connection with the construction, expansion, renovation, or repair of buildings and other structures (including underground piping and conveyances); or (iii) conducted in reasonable response to any spill or emergency situation occurring within a reasonable time following such spill or emergency situation; in each case, after providing the Company with a reasonable opportunity, where appropriate, to challenge any alleged legal requirement to take any enumerated actions.

(j) LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE COMPANY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 8.2(a)(iii), NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOST SALES) IN CONNECTION WITH LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THE CONDUCT OF SUCH PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NONPERFORMING PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR NOT, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOST SALES) OF THIRD PARTIES THAT ARE AN ELEMENT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE EXTENT DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A PARTY AND ACTUALLY PAID BY SUCH PARTY WILL CONSTITUTE IDENTIFIABLE DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND DIRECT DAMAGES BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

(a) Certain Taxes and Fees. Each of Buyer and the Company shall be responsible for, as and when due, one-half of all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, mortgage-cadastrial and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest thereon but not including any value added or similar tax) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred by reason of the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement. Buyer shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable Law, any of the other Parties hereto will execute and join in the execution of any such filing.

(i) Any value added tax, goods and services tax, similar indirect tax or any tax analogous (collectively, “VAT”) shall be added to the amounts invoiced pursuant to this Agreement and any local asset transfer agreement as required by applicable Law. In the event of any amendment to VAT legislation or for any other reason the sums invoiced without VAT in accordance with this Agreement and any local asset transfer agreement become subject to VAT, then the applicable invoices shall be deemed to be exclusive of VAT (if any) and the party receiving such invoices shall, in addition to the sums payable, pay the invoicing party, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice, the full amount of VAT chargeable thereon.

(ii) Buyer and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all VAT imposed by applicable taxing authorities to any payment hereunder, whether or not such VAT is shown on any invoices. If the Company and its Affiliates is required to pay any part of such VAT, Buyer and its Affiliates shall reimburse the Company and its Affiliates for such VAT.

(c) Withholding Taxes. Buyer shall provide the Company not less than thirty (30) days written notice prior to the Initial Closing of withholding Tax obligations Buyer believes are reasonably likely to be imposed in connection with the Buyer Group’s payment of the Initial Closing Purchase Price at the Initial Closing and, thereafter, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop a plan, to be mutually agreed between the Parties prior to the Initial Closing, relating to any potential withholding Tax obligation of Buyer Group in respect of the Initial Closing Purchase Price. Such plan shall result in no adverse financial impact, beyond de minimus amounts, on the Buyer Parties or delay the Initial Closing. Based upon and in accordance with such agreed plan but in any event as required by Law, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid.

(d) Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns, and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each Party shall provide to the others, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof, any Tax-related communications and notices it receives which may impact the other Party’s Tax Liability or filing responsibilities.

9.2. Further Assurances. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein, prior to and following the each of the Closings, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with the other Party and to execute such further instruments, documents and agreements, and to give such further written assurances, as may be reasonably requested by any other party to evidence and reflect better the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

9.3. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any of the Transaction Documents, each of the Parties shall pay all of its own fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of the Letter of Intent, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(a) Non-Competition. During the period beginning on the Initial Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (provided that such period shall be extended by and for the duration of any period of time during which the Company Group is in violation of this Section 9.4(a)) (the “Non-Compete Period”), the Company Group shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, engage in any business or activities which compete with the Product Lines (other than the production and sale of HDC Process Media until the Subsequent Closing or such later date as may be provided in the Supply Agreement) as conducted by the Company Group prior to the Initial Closing Date (collectively the “Restricted Business”) in (i) any state in the United States and (ii) any country outside the United States in which the Company Group engages in any of the foregoing businesses with respect to the Product Lines as of the Initial Closing Date; provided that ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be deemed to be engaging solely by reason thereof in any of such businesses.

(i) During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the first anniversary of the earlier of (A) the Initial Closing Date and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, each Party (as applicable, the “Restricted Party”) agrees that, without the prior written consent of the other Party (as applicable, the “Protected Party”), the Restricted Party and its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly: solicit any employee of the Protected Party; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.4(b)(i) shall prohibit the Restricted Party or any Affiliate from: (i) soliciting or hiring any non-salaried employees of the Protected Party, (ii) soliciting or hiring any salaried or management personnel of the Protected Party by obtaining the Protected Party’s prior written consent, (iii) advertising employment opportunities in any national newspaper, trade journal or other publication in a major metropolitan area or any third-party Internet website posting, or negotiating with, offering employment to or employing any individual contacted through such medium, (iv) participating in any third-party hiring fair or similar event open to the public or negotiating with, offering employment to or employing any individual contacted through such medium or (v) soliciting, negotiating with, offering employment to or employing any individual at any time (A) after the termination by such individual of his or her employment with the Protected Party or any of its Affiliates or (B) after the termination by the Protected Party or any of its Affiliates of such individual’s employment with the Protected Party or any of its Affiliates.

(ii) The Company agrees that, for a period of three (3) years from the Initial Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Buyer, the Company Group shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) any Transferred Employee or any other employee of the Product Lines after the Initial Closing; provided that nothing in this Section 9.4(b)(ii) shall prohibit the Company or any Affiliate from: (1) soliciting or hiring any non-salaried employees involved in the operation of the Product Lines, (2) soliciting or hiring any salaried or management personnel involved in the operation of the Product Lines after obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent, (3) advertising employment opportunities in any national newspaper, trade journal or other publication in a major metropolitan area or any third-party Internet website posting, or negotiating with, offering employment to or employing any individual contacted through such medium, (4) participating in any third-party hiring fair or similar event open to the public or negotiating with, offering employment to or employing any individual contacted through such medium or (5) soliciting, negotiating with, offering employment to or employing any individual at any time (x) after the termination by such individual of his or her employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (y) after the termination by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of such individual’s employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Non-Solicitation Exclusions”).

(iii) The Company agrees that, for a period of three (3) years from the Subsequent Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Buyer, the Company Group shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) any employee of the HDC Line after the Subsequent Closing; provided that nothing in this Section 9.4(b)(iii) shall prohibit the Company or any Affiliate from engaging in any of the Non-Solicitation Exclusions.

(i) For a period of five (5) years after the date of this Agreement (and for such longer period as set forth in Section 9.4(c)(ii) for Trade Secrets), each Party (as applicable, the “Receiving Party”) shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the business and affairs of the other Party (as applicable, the “Disclosing Party”) that is transferred hereby that is not already generally available to the public, including any notes, analyses, compilations, studies, forecasts, interpretations or other documents that are derived from, contain, reflect or are based upon any such information (the “Confidential Information”), refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to the Disclosing Party, at the request and option of the Disclosing Party, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in the Receiving Party’s possession or under the Receiving Party’s control; provided, however, that following any Closing, the Company shall deemed to be the “Receiving Party” and Buyer shall be deemed to be the “Disclosing Party” with respect to all information relating to the Product Lines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that is (i) generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.4(c) or other act or omission of the Receiving Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective representatives or (ii) rightfully received after a Closing from a third party not under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. In the event that the Receiving Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal or regulatory proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person shall notify the Disclosing Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.4(c). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Person is required to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Entity, court or tribunal such Person may disclose such Confidential Information to the Governmental Entity, court or tribunal.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Confidential Information which is identified by the Disclosing Party as, known by the Receiving Party to be, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, Know–How and Trade Secrets shall be treated as Confidential Information for so long as such information constitutes Know-How and Trade Secrets.

(iii) The Receiving Party shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, release any Person from or waive any provisions of any confidentiality, non-competition, assignment of inventions or similar agreement to which the Receiving Party or any such Subsidiary is a party related to any Confidential Information or otherwise to the Purchased Assets. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the request of Buyer and at Buyer’s expense, the Company hereby agrees to enforce for the benefit of Buyer any rights of the Company Group under, or obligations imposed on third parties by, such agreements to the extent related to any Confidential Information or otherwise to the Purchased Assets.

(d) Non-disclosure. (i) The Parties shall keep confidential the subject matter described herein and the fact that negotiations are taking place until the content and timing of a public announcement are mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and (ii) no press releases or public announcements related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, or other announcements to the employees, customers, distributors or suppliers of the Product Lines, shall be issued without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Party (but after consultation with the other Party, to the extent practicable), issue such press release or public statements as may be required by applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange.

(e) Remedy for Breach. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by it (or any of its Affiliates) of any of the provisions of this Section 9.4, monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the non-breaching Party and/or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

(f) Enforcement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 9.4 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

9.5. Mutual Benefit. The Parties agree for their mutual benefit that neither of them shall take any action which is designed, intended or would reasonably be anticipated to have the effect of discouraging customers, suppliers, vendors, manufacturers, service providers, employees, lessors, licensors and other business relations of the other Party; provided that nothing in this Section 9.5 is intended to prohibit or limit either party from making any statement or taking any action required by Law.

9.6. Financial Information. The Company shall furnish to Buyer any information or documents reasonably requested by Buyer, which is in the Company’s possession or to which the Company has access, constituting or necessary for the completion or audit of, financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the Initial Closing Date and shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Required Closing Financial Statements, including obtaining the audit report of KPMG LLP thereon, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement.

(i) As of the Initial Closing, Buyer or one of its Affiliates (the “Employer”) shall (A) continue the employment of each Product Line Employee employed by the Mexico Subsidiary and (B) make a Qualifying Employment Offer (as defined below) to (1) each of the Product Line Employees (other than (x) Product Line Employees that are employed at the Pensacola Facility and (y) up to two (2) Product Line Employees employed in the two jurisdictions indicated on Schedule 9.7(a)(i), each of whose employment contracts, if any, shall not be deemed to be Product Line Contracts for any purpose under this Agreement who shall remain, as at the Initial Closing Date, employees of the Company) and (2) such other employees of the Company Group who are mutually designated by Buyer and the Company to be transferred to Buyer in connection with the Initial Closing, in each case who are actively employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries as of the Initial Closing (each such individual, an “Eligible Employee”). For purposes of this Section 9.7(a), a “Qualifying Employment Offer” means an offer of employment with the Employer, based on an evaluation of an Eligible Employee to determine the grade, title and position of such Eligible Employee, with terms and conditions, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, that are consistent with the comparable employees of the Employer in the aggregate in the country in which such Eligible Employee currently resides; provided, however, that for purposes of Eligible Employees currently residing in the jurisdiction indicated on Schedule 9.7(a)(i), such offer of employment shall be with terms and conditions, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, that are consistent with the comparable employees of the Employer in any other jurisdiction that the Employer currently employs employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the employment of any Eligible Employee transfers automatically by operation of applicable Law or where an Eligible Employee is an employee of the Mexico Subsidiary, such Eligible Employee shall become or remain, as the case may be, employed by the Employer; provided, however, that such employee does not validly reject the automatic transfer in accordance with applicable Law; provided, further, that wherever the employment of any Eligible Employee transfers automatically to the Employer by operation of applicable Law, the Employer shall assume and honor all Terms and Conditions of Employment in respect of such Eligible Employees to the extent required by applicable Law or as a result of negotiations with applicable works councils and/or unions in order to accomplish such transfer or continuation of employment. For those Eligible Employees whose employment does not transfer automatically by operation of Law, the Employer shall make the Qualifying Employment Offers to such Eligible Employee at least twenty (20) days prior to the Initial Closing Date. Such Eligible Employees who accept employment with the Employer (whether as of the Initial Closing or, in the case of any Leave Employee, such individual’s Leave Return Date (as those terms are defined below)) or whose employment transfers to Buyer by operation of applicable Law shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” The Eligible Employees who do not accept employment with, or who validly reject the automatic transfer to, the Employer shall be referred to herein as “Non-Transferred Employees.”

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 9.7(a)(i), any Qualifying Employment Offer to any Eligible Employee who, on the Initial Closing Date, is not actively at work due to short-term disability, a leave of absence covered by applicable Law or due to any other authorized leave of absence (each such Eligible Employee, a “Leave Employee”) (A) shall be contingent on such Leave Employee returning to active full-time work on or prior to the later of (1) the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date and (2) the last day on which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries would have been required to re-employ such Leave Employee pursuant to any applicable Law if the Initial Closing had not occurred and (B) shall be effective as of the date that such Leave Employee returns to active full-time work (such date, with respect to any Leave Employee, such Leave Employee’s “Leave Return Date”).

(iii) With respect to any Eligible Employee located in a country other than the United States (including the Territory of Puerto Rico), Italy or Mexico, rather than making a Qualifying Employment Offer itself, Buyer may cause a third party to offer (whether or not an Affiliate of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries), such Eligible Employee a Qualifying Employment Offer.

(iv) The Parties shall use commercially reasonably efforts to comply with the consultation procedures required by Article 47 of Italian Law 428/1990. Prior to the Initial Closing, the Parties agree that Buyer shall have the right to seek to negotiate a new Solidarity Agreement (contratto di solidarieta) with respect to the employees at the Ascoli Facility on substantially the same terms and conditions as are existing on the date of this Agreement and to be effective upon the termination of the Solidarity Agreement (contratto di solidarieta) currently in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and the Company shall cooperate with Buyer’s reasonable requests in connection with such negotiations, including, if necessary, becoming a party to such agreement. In the event Company or its Subsidiary is a party to the new Solidarity Agreement, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts following the Initial Closing to novate the agreement to remove Company or its Subsidiary as a party.

(v) At or as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Initial Closing, Buyer shall:

(A) provide to each Designated Employee comparable benefits under the Haemonetics Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan equal to the comparative value of the forfeited benefits, if any, of such Designated Employee under each of the Pall Corporation Management Stock Purchase Plan, Pall Corporation 2005 Stock Compensation Plan and Pall Corporation 2012 Stock Compensation Plan, which value shall be determined using a reasonable method agreed to by the Company and Buyer; and

(B) adopt one or more employee severance and retention bonus plans for the Designated Employees with the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 9.7(a)(v)(B).

In connection with (i) the provision by Buyer of equity awards to Designated Employees pursuant to clause (A) of this Section 9.7(a)(v) and (ii) Buyer’s adoption of severance plans and retention bonus plans for Designated Employees pursuant to clause (B) of this Section 9.7(a)(v), the Company shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to $1,800,000, which shall be paid and accounted for in the form of an adjustment to the Initial Closing Purchase Price.

(vi) At or as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Initial Closing, the Company shall fully vest each U.S. and Puerto Rico Transferred Employee in his or her benefits accrued through the Initial Closing under the Pall Corporation Cash Balance Pension Plan. The costs and expenses associated with the actions contemplated in this Section 9.7(a)(vi) shall be for the account of the Company.

(vii) The Company shall pay Buyer an amount equal to any portion of the Tratamento di Fine Rapporto (“TFR”) in respect of Transferred Employees employed, as of the Initial Closing Date in Italy that is accrued but that has not previously been paid over to (x) the relevant Transferred Employee, (y) a Government Entity responsible for administering TFR funds or (z) to a third party custodian responsible for maintaining TFR funds for such Transferred Employee. Promptly, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Initial Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “TFR Liability Statement”) setting forth the amount of such TFR Liability. Unless within the thirty (30) day period following Buyer’s receipt of the TFR Liability Statement, Buyer delivers written notice to the Company (the “TFR Liability Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement related to the TFR Liability Statement, including the basis therefor and the amount thereof, the TFR Liability Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties. If Buyer delivers the TFR Liability Dispute Notice to the Company within the required thirty (30) day period, Buyer and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to resolve their differences. If any TFR Liability remains unresolved for a period of thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of the TFR Liability Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Company shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, submit the dispute to the Accounting Firm to be determined in accordance with Section 2.7. The TFR Liability shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 9.7(a)(vii) upon the earliest of (x) the failure of Buyer to provide the Company with a TFR Liability Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days of the Company’s delivery of the TFR Liability Statement, (y) the resolution of all items of dispute by the Company and Buyer and (z) the resolution of all items of dispute by the Accounting Firm. Upon the final determination of the TFR Liability, the Company shall pay such amount to Buyer with interest thereon from the Initial Closing Date to the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the prime rate as of the Initial Closing Date as stated in The Wall Street Journal plus one percent (1%) per annum.

(viii) Apart from the TFR, and subject to Section 9.7(a)(v) and the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties under Article III, all other amounts that may become due or payable to a Transferred Employee resulting from the termination of the Transferred Employees by the Buyer Group following the Initial Closing shall be for the account of, and paid by Buyer, including without limitation any severance, termination or similar payment, whether required by statute, contract or otherwise.

(ix) Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or any provision of this Agreement, on or after the Initial Closing the Employer may modify the salary, wage level or benefits or terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee at any time and for any reason, including without cause. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any Liability with respect to any Non-Transferred Employee or former employee or retiree of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Person currently covered by any benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is not a Transferred Employee), regardless of when such Liability arises or occurred (whether on, prior to or after the Initial Closing). Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or this Agreement, the Company Group shall be solely responsible for the payment of all employee benefits (including, without limitation, any severance pay, notice pay, insurance, supplemental pension, deferred compensation, “stay” or other similar incentive bonuses, change-in-control bonuses (or other bonuses or compensation related in any way to the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement), retirement and any other benefits, premiums, claims and related costs) to any of the employees, former employees or retirees of the Company Group based on or arising under employment with the Company Group, including the payment to each Transferred Employee of (i) the pro rata portion of the target bonus for the Company’s 2012 fiscal year under the Company’s annual bonus plans to which such Transferred Employee would have otherwise been entitled had such Transferred Employee remained employed by the Company Group until the end of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year, based on the Transferred Employee’s period of service prior to the Initial Closing, and (ii) any bonus or unpaid sales incentive compensation earned by such Transferred Employee prior to the Initial Closing, based on pro rata quotas. If permitted by Law, the Company Group shall pay to the Buyer Group an amount equal to Transferred Employees’ accrued but unused vacation time and other similar accrued but unused time as provided by applicable Law or, if no Law is applicable, pursuant to the Company’s policies in respect of such payments. The Buyer Group shall in turn make such accrued vacation time and similar time available to such Transferred Employees to the same extent such accrued vacation time and similar time would have been made available to the Transferred Employees by the Company Group. With respect to any sales incentive payment due to any Transferred Employee in connection with the Company’s 2012 fiscal year, the Company shall make such payment to such Transferred Employee at the time the Company generally pays employees pursuant to the terms of the Company’s annual bonus plans and sales incentive arrangements; provided, however, that Buyer shall provide to the Company the data necessary to calculate such sales incentive payments due to any Transferred Employees for the period beginning immediately upon the Initial Closing and ending on July 31, 2012; provided, further, that Buyer shall reimburse the Company for the amount of such sales incentive payments paid by the Company to Transferred Employees for such period, if any, beginning immediately upon the Initial Closing and ending on July 31, 2012. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Employer shall be solely responsible for the payment of all wages, salaries and other compensation and employee benefits (including, without limitation, any severance pay, notice pay, insurance, supplemental pension, deferred compensation, bonuses, retirement and any other benefits, premiums, claims and related costs) to any of the Transferred Employees relating to or arising out of their employment with the Employer. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall assume any Liability with respect to any Employee Program or other employee benefit plan of any kind or nature maintained by the Company or any of its Affiliates for any of its employees, former employees or retirees, except for (i) any Liability with respect to Transferred Employees under any Employee Program of the Mexico Subsidiary, (ii) any Liability that transfers by operation of Law and (iii) as otherwise provided in this Section 9.7.

(b) Service Credit. From and after the Initial Closing, Employer shall give each Transferred Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of benefits, and vesting and seniority under any collective bargaining agreement or national collective agreement, but not for purposes of benefit accrual unless required by applicable Law, under any employee benefit plans, arrangements, collective agreements and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable pension, 401(k), savings, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation, long-service leave or other leave entitlements, termination indemnity, severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Employer for such Transferred Employee’s service with the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, and with any predecessor employer, to the same extent recognized by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, except to the extent such credit would result in duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(c) Pre-Existing Conditions. The Employer shall, with respect to Transferred Employees, (i) waive any limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation requirements under any welfare benefit plan in which such Transferred Employees may be eligible to participate after the Initial Closing; provided, however, that no such waiver shall apply to a preexisting condition of any Transferred Employee who was, prior to the Initial Closing, excluded from receipt of benefit in a welfare benefit plan maintained or contributed to for the benefit of such Transferred Employee by the nature of such preexisting condition; and (ii) cause to be credited any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Transferred Employees and their beneficiaries and dependents during the portion of the calendar year prior to their participation in the health plans of the Employer.

(d) 401(k) Plan. Immediately prior to the Initial Closing, those Transferred Employees who are principally employed in the United States (“U.S. Transferred Employees”) and Puerto Rico (the “PR Transferred Employees”) will cease to participate in the Pall Corporation 401(k) Plan (the “Pall US Plan”) and the Pall Retirement Plan for Puerto Rico Employees (the “Pall PR Plan”), respectively, and all of the unvested amounts of such Transferred Employees in the Pall US Plan and the Pall PR Plan shall fully vest. The costs and expenses of such full vesting shall be for the account of the Company. As of the Initial Closing, the U.S. Transferred Employees will be eligible to commence participation in the qualified defined contribution plan currently sponsored or maintained by the Employer for the benefit of its employees in the United States (the “Employer US 401(k) Plan”). The Employer will cause the Employer US 401(k) Plan to accept a direct rollover of, or an eligible rollover of, all or a portion of the taxable portion of a distribution of a U.S. Transferred Employee’s account balance from the Pall US Plan, including any promissory notes evidencing outstanding loan(s) (which will continue to be subject to the same repayment and other terms as when in the US Plan). In addition, Buyer and the Company shall cooperate with the Employer in effecting a trustee-to-trustee transfer of plan assets, including outstanding loans and promissory notes evidencing such loans, attributable to the PR Transferred Employees under the Pall PR Plan as of the Initial Closing to a Puerto Rico-qualified retirement plan established by the Employer (the “Employer PR Plan”). The Company shall be responsible for the operation of the Pall U.S. Plan and the Pall PR Plan until such rollovers and trustee to trustee transfers occur and Buyer shall be responsible for the operation of the Employer U.S. 401(k) Plan and the Employer PR Plan following such rollovers and trustee to trustee transfer.

(e) Flexible Spending Accounts. Immediately prior to the Initial Closing, the U.S. Transferred Employees will cease to contribute to the Company’s flexible spending account plan (the “Company FSA Plan”). U.S. Transferred Employees who elected to participate in the Company FSA Plan for the current plan year will become participants in any available Employer flexible spending account plan (the “Employer FSA Plan”) as if their participation in the Employer FSA Plan had been continuous during the then current year and at the same level of coverage elected under the Company FSA Plan, subject to the limitations set forth herein. Each U.S. Transferred Employee will be reimbursed for medical and dependent care expenses incurred by such U.S. Transferred Employee at any time during the current year (including claims incurred before the Initial Closing Date), up to the amount of the elections made by each U.S. Transferred Employee under the Company FSA Plan in the current year, reduced by amounts previously reimbursed by the Company pursuant to the Company FSA Plan in the current year. To effectuate the foregoing, as soon as administratively practicable after the Initial Closing Date, the Company will notify the Employer whether the amounts of the account balances (if any) under the Company FSA Plan are positive or negative in the aggregate immediately prior to the Initial Closing Date, and the Company will pay the Employer such aggregate balance (if positive) or the Employer will pay the Company such aggregate balance (if negative), with respect to all U.S. Transferred Employees who become covered under the Employer FSA Plan for the current plan year.

(f) Update to Employee List. Prior to the Initial Closing and on a date to be agreed as between the Company and Buyer, the Company will provide to Buyer a revised list of Product Line Employees. Upon Buyer’s approval of any Product Line Employees added to such list, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, such list will be the definitive list of Product Line Employees for all purposes of this Agreement.

(g) Cooperation. Subject to, and to the extent permitted by, applicable Law (including any privacy Laws) and the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company shall provide promptly to the Employer, at the Employer’s request, any information or copies of personnel records (including, without limitation, addresses, dates of birth, dates of hire and dependent information) relating to the Transferred Employees or relating to the service of the Transferred Employees with the Company Group (and predecessors of the Company Group) prior to the Initial Closing.

(h) Employee Communications. The Company shall consult with Buyer, and will consider in good faith Buyer’s advice, prior to sending any notices or other communication materials to any employees of the Product Lines regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Except with the prior written consent of Buyer, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, discuss with any employees of the Product Lines or otherwise provide information to such employees regarding the terms of their potential employment with Buyer following the Initial Closing.

(i) Compliance with Local Law. Buyer and the Company agree to comply with all applicable Law, rules, individual agreements, collective bargaining agreements and national collective agreements pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the assumption by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of any employment or employee-benefits related obligations or Liabilities that Buyer or any of its Affiliates is required to assume pursuant to any such Law, rule, individual agreement, collective bargaining agreement or national collective agreement. Nothing in this Section 9.7(i) shall alter the allocation of Assumed Liabilities and Excluded Liabilities as between Buyer and the Company.

(j) WARN Act. Buyer agrees to provide, or cause its Subsidiaries to provide, any required notice under the WARN Act and to otherwise comply with the WARN Act, with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Transferred Employees at the Covina Facility or the Puerto Rico Facility (including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and occurring after the Initial Closing Date. In connection therewith, Buyer shall assume all Liabilities and obligations for the provision of notice or payment in lieu of notice or any applicable penalties under the WARN Act, and, subject to the compliance by the Company’s of its obligations under Section 5.16. Buyer hereby indemnifies the Company and its Affiliates against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all damages incurred or suffered by the Company or its Affiliates with respect to the WARN Act arising as a result of actions taken by Buyer after the Initial Closing Date with respect to such Transferred Employees.

9.8. Bulk Sales Laws. The Company shall take all actions necessary to satisfy the requirements of (or, if subject to waiver, the Parties each hereby waive compliance by the Company with) the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state or jurisdiction.

(a) The Company shall promptly remit to Buyer all monies received by the Company or any of its Affiliates following the Initial Closing in payment for or arising from any Purchased Assets acquired by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Payments remitted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.9(a) shall be in the form received by the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Buyer shall promptly remit to the Company all monies received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates following the Initial Closing in payment for or arising from any Excluded Assets. Payments remitted to the Company pursuant to this Section 9.9(b) shall be in the form received by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

9.10. Trademarks; Tradenames. Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreements, as soon as practicable after the Initial Closing, other than with respect to the HDC Line, the Company Group shall cease the use of all of the trademarks, tradenames, service marks and service names included in the Purchased Assets, in any of their forms or spellings, on all websites, advertising, stationery, business cards, checks, purchase orders and acknowledgments, customer agreements and other contracts and business documents; provided, however, that Buyer for a reasonable period of time may continue to use the name of the Company with respect to dies, molds, toolings, castings and the like.

9.11. Pro-Rated Payments. After each Closing, any expenses or other charges (whether prepaid or accrued) with respect to the Product Lines, the HDC Line, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities including, without limitation, amounts paid or payable with respect to rental payments, leases, utilities, and all real property, personal property and similar Taxes, which either become due and payable on or after the relevant Closing Date and relate to periods beginning before and ending after such Closing Date or have been paid prior to such Closing Date and relate to periods beginning before and ending after such Closing Date, will be prorated and adjusted between the Company and Buyer as of such Closing Date on a per-diem basis. In connection therewith, Buyer will be responsible for, and will pay to the Company, the portion of such amounts allocable to the period ending after such Closing Date, only to the extent that the Company made such payment to a third Person, within sixty (60) days of receipt of a detailed invoice from the Company. No later than five (5) days prior to such Closing, the Company will deliver to Buyer a statement of all such prepaid or accrued expenses as of such Closing Date.

10.1. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of Buyer and the Company or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.2.

10.2. Waiver. Any Party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of another Party, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of another Party contained herein or in any document delivered by such Party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any agreement of another Party or condition to another Party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a writing executed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or waiver of the same term or condition or as a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Section 10.2 shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

10.3. Notices. All notices, claims, demands and other communications given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by e-mail, by facsimile, by first class mail, return receipt requested, or by hand by express overnight courier service, and shall be deemed given when so delivered by hand, when transmission is confirmed by the transmitting equipment if delivered by email or facsimile, or if mailed, three (3) days after mailing, or one (1) Business Day in the case of overnight courier service, to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.3):

10.4. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Company and Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4, without the consent of the Company, each of Buyer and its permitted assigns may at any time, in their sole discretion, assign, in whole or in part, (a) their right to purchase the Purchased Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities to one or more of their Affiliates; (b) their rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in whole or in part, to any subsequent purchaser, such permitted transferee or any of their divisions or any material portion of the Product Lines or the Purchased Assets (whether such sale is structured as a sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, recapitalization or otherwise); and (c) their rights (but not obligations) under this Agreement to any Financing Source; provided, that, in each case, no such assignment shall release Buyer from any of its obligations hereunder. Similarly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.4, without the consent of Buyer, each of the Company and its permitted assigns may at any time, in their sole discretion, assign, in whole or in part, (a) their obligation to sell the Purchased Assets to one or more of their Affiliates and (b) their rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to any subsequent purchaser, such permitted transferee or any of their divisions or any material portion of the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities (whether such sale is structured as a sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, recapitalization or otherwise); provided, that, in each case, no such assignment shall release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder.

10.5. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law or public policy, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is prohibited or invalid, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.6. Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. Nothing in the Schedules attached hereto shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation regardless of whether such words are included in some contexts but not others. Reference to any Law shall refer to any successor Law thereto. Any reference in this Agreement to an “Article,” “Section,” “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refers to the corresponding Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of or to this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise. All words used in this Agreement are to be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require. Any reference to a Contract or other document as of a given date means the Contract or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time through such date.

10.7. Captions. The table of contents and captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no table of contents or captions had been used in this Agreement.

10.8. Entire Agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement, this Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, and the documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way, including, without limitation, the Letter of Intent.

10.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(a) The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, and subject to Section 10.10(b), (i) the Parties shall be entitled to seek (in a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 10.13) an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than a Party’s obligations to effect the Initial Closing), without bond or other security being required, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Buyer would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) It is explicitly agreed that neither Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy to specifically enforce the other Party’s obligations to effect the Initial Closing on the terms and conditions set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy to specifically enforce the other Party’s obligations to effect the Subsequent Closing on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

10.11. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

10.12. Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties (and the Buyer Parties and Company Parties for purposes of Article VIII) and their respective successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by virtue of this Agreement.

(a) SUBJECT TO SECTION 10.14, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PROPERLY AND EXCLUSIVELY LIE IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AND, TO THE EXTENT AVAILABLE, THE BUSINESS LITIGATION SESSION OF THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF ANY PROCESS REQUIRED BY ANY SUCH COURT TO THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED FOR SUCH PARTY PURSUANT TO SECTION 10.3 SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND LAWFUL SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST THEM, WITHOUT NECESSITY FOR SERVICE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR RULE OF COURT. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.13 SHALL, HOWEVER, AFFECT THE RIGHT OF A PARTY TO SERVICE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(b) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

10.14. Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, any dispute, controversy or claim arising under or relating to this Agreement or any breach or threatened breach hereof shall be promptly presented to the Chief Executive Officers of Buyer and the Company (or alternative officers designated by Buyer or the Company) for resolution and if such officers cannot resolve such disputes, claims or controversies then such dispute, claim or controversy shall be finally resolved by arbitration initiated by either Party (each an “Arbitrable Dispute”). Any Arbitrable Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, subject to the following:

(a) The demand for arbitration shall be in writing, shall be served on the other Party in the manner prescribed herein for the giving of notices, and shall set forth a short statement of the factual basis for the claim, specifying the matter or matters to be arbitrated.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, one (1) selected by Buyer, one (1) selected by the Company and one (1) to be selected jointly by the arbitrators selected by Buyer and the Company (collectively, the “Arbitrators”) who shall conduct such evidentiary or other hearings as they deem necessary or appropriate and thereafter shall make their determination as soon as practicable. Any arbitration pursuant hereto shall be conducted by the Arbitrators under the guidance of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence, but the Arbitrators shall not be required to comply strictly with such Rules in conducting any such arbitration. All such arbitration proceedings shall take place in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

(i) each Party shall bear its own “Costs and Fees,” which are defined as all reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses (including, but not limited to, copying and telephone) witness fees, and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses;

(ii) the fees and expenses of the Arbitrators and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration shall be borne equally by the Parties; and

(iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitrators shall be empowered to require any one or more of the Parties to bear all or any portion of such Costs and Fees and/or the fees and expenses of the Arbitrators in the event that the Arbitrators determine such Party has acted unreasonably or in bad faith.

(d) The Arbitrators shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts could order or grant, including, without limitation, specific performance, the awarding of Losses, the issuance of an injunction, or the imposition of sanctions for abuse or frustration of the arbitration process. The Arbitrators shall render their decision and award upon the concurrence of at least two (2) of their number. Such decision and award shall be in writing and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to each Party. The decision and award of the Arbitrators shall be binding on all Parties. In rendering such decision and award, the Arbitrators shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement and shall make their determinations in accordance therewith. Any Party to the arbitration may seek to have judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrators entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(e) Each Party agrees that it will not file any suit, motion, petition or otherwise commence any legal action or proceeding for any matter which is required to be submitted to arbitration as contemplated herein except in connection with the enforcement of an award rendered by the Arbitrators. Upon the entry of an order dismissing or staying any action or proceeding filed contrary to the preceding sentence, the Party which filed such action or proceeding shall promptly pay to the other Party the reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by such other Party prior to the entry of such order.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may apply to a court of law or equity for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof as set forth in Section 9.4(e) or Section 10.10.

(a) Notice. Each Party shall provide written notice to the other Party promptly after becoming aware of (i) any infringement of the Licensed IP by any Third Party that may come to their attention and (ii) any Declaratory Judgment Action. The Company and Haemonetics shall consult each other in a timely manner concerning any appropriate response to such infringement or Declaratory Judgment Action.

Upon receipt of a written notice from Haemonetics requesting that the Company either (i) initiate legal proceedings against a Third Party infringement of the Licensed Patents (other than the Licensed Connector Patents or Component Storage Systems Patents) occurring both within and outside of the Field or (ii) defend the applicable Declaratory Judgment Action that alleges non-infringement both within and outside of the Field, the Company agrees that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate (i) whether it believes that such Third Party is infringing the applicable Licensed Patents and (ii) the merits of any and all appropriate legal action that may be brought against such Third Party, taking into consideration such factors as the likelihood of success on the merits, the likelihood that any such action might impair or otherwise affect the scope of the Licensed Patents, the likelihood that failure to initiate or defend legal proceedings might impair or otherwise negatively affect Haemonetics’ ability to commercialize the Product Lines and other similar factors. In the event that the Company (i) initiates an enforcement action or (ii) defends the applicable Declaratory Judgment Action, Haemonetics shall assist the Company in connection with any such action or proceeding, upon request and at the Company’s sole expense.

(c) Haemonetics’ Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Haemonetics shall have the first right, but not the obligation, under its own control and at its own expense, to (i) prosecute any specific claim of Third Party infringement of any Licensed Patent (other than the Licensed Connector Patents or Component Storage Systems Patents) occurring solely in the Field and (ii) defend any Declaratory Judgment Action that alleges non-infringement solely in the Field. In addition, in the event the Company chooses not to (i) initiate an enforcement action relating to infringement occurring both within and outside of the Field or (ii) defend any Declaratory Judgment Action that alleges non-infringement occurring both within and outside of the Field, as set forth in Subsection 6.1(b) above, then the Company shall give notice to Haemonetics reasonably in advance of any deadline for such enforcement or defense and Haemonetics shall have the right but not the obligation to initiate and prosecute or defend such an action at its cost. The Company shall have a continuing right to intervene in any suit that the Company chooses not to initiate or defend in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 6.1(c). The Company shall reasonably assist Haemonetics in any action or proceeding being prosecuted or defended if so requested, and shall join such action or proceeding if reasonably requested by Haemonetics or required by applicable Law or, if Haemonetics is unable to legally become a party to such action or proceeding, shall join or commence such action or proceeding and act on behalf, and at the direction of, Haemonetics at the sole expense of Haemonetics. Haemonetics shall not enter into any settlement, compromise, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any action or proceeding contemplated by this Section 6.1(c) that adversely affects the interests of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall have the right to participate in any such action or proceeding with its own counsel at its own expense and without reimbursement.

(d) Company’s Rights in the Field. If Haemonetics decides not to exercise its rights in Section 6.1(c) above with respect to a specific (i) claim of infringement solely within the Field or (ii) Declaratory Judgment Action that alleges non-infringement occurring solely in the Field, then Haemonetics shall give notice to the Company reasonably in advance of any deadline for such enforcement or defense and the Company shall have the right in its sole discretion to (i) bring suit on its own behalf or (ii) defend such Declaratory Judgment Action, at its own expense, with respect to such claim of infringement or Declaratory Judgment Action. Haemonetics shall have a continuing right to intervene in such suit. Haemonetics shall reasonably assist the Company in any action or proceeding being prosecuted or defended if so requested, and shall join such action or proceeding if reasonably requested by the Company or required by applicable Law. The Company may not enter into any settlement, compromise, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of any action or proceeding contemplated by this Section 6.1(d) that adversely affects the interests of Haemonetics without the prior written consent of Haemonetics, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Company’s Rights Outside of the Field. The Company shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, under its own control and at its own expense, to prosecute any Third Party infringement of any Licensed Patent solely outside of the Field and defend any Declaratory Judgment Action that alleges non-infringement solely outside of the Field.

(f) Recovery. Any recovery obtained by either or both the Company and Haemonetics in connection with or as a result of any action contemplated by Section 6.1(b), 6.1(c), or 6.1(d), whether by settlement or otherwise, shall be shared in order as follows:

(i) the Party that prosecuted the action shall recover all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith;

(ii) the other Party shall then, to the extent possible, recover all of its costs and expense incurred in connection with the action; and

(iii) the amount of any recovery remaining (if any) shall be allocated between the Parties in proportion to the damages incurred by the respective Parties, e.g,, by reference to the relative lost sales or lost profits incurred by the respective Parties forming the basis for the recovery.

6.2 Third Party Infringement Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this License Agreement, in the event that any or all of this Section 6.2 conflicts with any of the indemnification provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the relevant provisions of the Purchase Agreement shall govern. If the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, use or importation of any product or service within the Product Lines that is claimed or covered by any Licensed IP in the Field results in any claim, suit or proceeding filed by a Third Party alleging intellectual property infringement or trade secret misappropriation by the Company or Haemonetics, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. Haemonetics shall be responsible for defending the Parties against any such Third Party claim arising (i) from any product or service of Haemonetics in the Field claimed or covered by the Licensed Connector Patents or the Component Storage Systems Patents or (ii) any product or service of Haemonetics outside of the Field and shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless for any such claim. The Company shall assist Haemonetics in the defense of any such action to the extent commercially reasonable and at Haemonetics’ sole expense. Haemonetics shall not enter into any settlement which admits or concedes that any aspect of the Licensed IP is invalid or unenforceable without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

7.1 Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Haemonetics that as of the Effective Date:

The Party seeking indemnification shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying Party, unless, if, on the basis of a written opinion of outside counsel to be provided to the indemnifying Party, the indemnified Party reasonably determines that there exists a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party, in which event the indemnified party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the expense of the indemnifying Party. The indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, agree to the settlement, compromise or discharge of such third party claim, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

a. Services. This Agreement will govern the transitional services as requested by either Party and provided to such Party (the “Receiving Party”) by the other Party (the “Providing Party”), the details of which are set forth in the Transition Service Schedules. Upon no less than sixty (60) days written notice to the Providing Party, the Receiving Party, if reasonably required, may obtain one extension with respect to each Service unless the Transition Service Schedule specifically provides that no extension is available. Unless otherwise provided in an applicable Transition Service Schedule, such extension will have a length equal to one half (1/2) of the initial term of such Service under the relevant Transition Service Schedule.

b. Schedules. Each Service shall be covered by this Agreement upon execution of a transition service schedule in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each such schedule being referred to herein as a “Transition Service Schedule”). For each Service, the Parties shall set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule, among other things, the period during which the Service will be provided, the number of Extensions available for the Service (if any), a summary of the Service to be provided, a description of the Service, the estimated charge, if any, for the Service, and any other terms applicable thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that it may not be practicable to describe each Service in detail and that, therefore, when the parties have made a commercially reasonable effort to describe a Service in the applicable Transition Service Schedule, such Service will be provided and paid for in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement even with respect to an aspect of the Service that may not be described in detail in the applicable Transition Service Schedule.

a. Services Generally. Except as otherwise provided in a Transition Service Schedule, for the Term of this Agreement, each Party shall provide or cause to be provided to the other Party the services described in the Transition Service Schedules executed in connection herewith. Each service described in a single Transition Service Schedule shall be referred to herein as a “Service.” The services described in all of the Transition Service Schedules (including Additional Services) shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Services.” The Transition Service Schedules for the initial Services to be provided by the Parties are attached hereto as Exhibit[s] B through [__]. The Providing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services hereunder at Historical Performance Levels.

b. Service Limitations. Subject to Section 2(b) and except as may be otherwise expressly provided in a Transition Service Schedule for a specific Service, (i) neither Party shall be required to provide the Services (x) except to the extent that such Services were being provided to the Product Lines or other product lines by the Company during the Historical Period, or (y) except to the extent that the performance of such Services requires assets that will be owned by such Party following the Closing, and (ii) the Services will be available only for purposes of conducting the business of the Receiving Party.

c. Cooperation. In connection with receiving the Services, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to follow the policies, procedures, and practices of the Providing Party in effect as of the applicable date, including without limitation providing any reasonably necessary documentation and information sufficient for any Providing Party to perform the Services, and making available, as reasonably requested by any Providing Party, all necessary cooperation, sufficient resources, and timely decisions, approvals, and acceptances to permit the Providing Party to meet its obligations hereunder. If the Receiving Party fails to meet its obligations in this section, and a Providing Party is unable to provide Services in connection therewith, then such Providing Party shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement by reason of such inability to the extent caused by such failure of the Receiving Party.

d. Consents and Approvals. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit any Providing Party to provide the Services hereunder (each a “Required Consent”). Each Party shall be responsible for obtaining the Required Consents with respect to such Party’s assets, provided that the Receiving Party shall pay all fees and expenses relating to such consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals. At the Providing Party’s option, the cost of any Required Consent shall be paid to the applicable third party directly by the Receiving Party or paid by the Providing Party and promptly reimbursed by the Receiving Party. No Providing Party shall have any obligation to provide Services hereunder until all Required Consents are obtained.

f. Additional Services. From time to time after the Effective Date, the Parties may identify and agree upon Additional Services and, upon doing so, the Parties shall execute additional Transition Service Schedules for such Additional Services pursuant to Section 2.

g. Obligations as to Additional Services. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company shall perform, at a charge determined using the principles for determining fees under Section 5, any Additional Services that (i) were provided to the Product Lines or other product lines by the Company during the Historical Period and were inadvertently or unintentionally omitted from the selection of Services for which Transition Service Schedules have been prepared and attached to this Agreement, or (ii) are essential to effectuate an orderly transition of the Product Lines to Haemonetics as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, unless such performance would significantly disrupt the Company’s operations or materially increase the scope of its responsibilities under this Agreement. If the Company reasonably believes that the performance of any Additional Services required under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) would significantly disrupt its operations or materially increase the scope of its responsibilities under this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish terms under which such Additional Services may be provided; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide such Additional Services if, following such negotiations, the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such terms.

h. Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and that the applicable Providing Party may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing its respective Services; provided that such Providing Party is making similar changes in performing similar services for itself or its own Affiliates and furnishes to the Receiving Party reasonable advance written notice with respect to such changes. In no event shall a Providing Party effect any change under this Section 3 that materially denigrates the level of its performance of its Services hereunder.

i. Subcontracting. A Providing Party may, in its discretion, retain third parties to provide any or all of its respective Services hereunder, and shall have the right to select any outsourcing provider or subcontractor; provided, that the applicable Providing Party will provide written notice to the Receiving Party of the engagement of any such outsourcing provider or subcontractor that will perform any significant portion of its Services.

j. Additional Resources. Unless expressly provided otherwise in the applicable Transition Service Schedule, in providing the Services, neither the Providing Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to (i) hire any additional employees except as may be necessary to replace an employee who has left (other than employees who have left the Company in connection with the transfer of the Product Lines to Haemonetics), or (ii) maintain the employment of any specific employee; provided, however, that the cessation of employment of any employee, excluding a senior executive or person with a unique skill set, shall in no way limit or reduce the Providing Party’s obligations to provide the Services. Neither Party is aware as of the Effective Date that it does not have sufficient employees to perform the Services. To the extent that a Providing Party reasonably believes that in order to continue to provide a particular Service in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the applicable Historical Performance Levels), it will be necessary to hire any additional employee or to purchase, lease or license additional equipment or software other than as may be necessary to replace an employee who has left or equipment or software that malfunctions, respectively, such Providing Party shall notify the applicable Receiving Party and provide such Receiving Party with a proposed plan to correct such condition and an estimate of the cost of implementing such plan for such Receiving Party’s consideration. The Receiving Party may elect to have the Providing Party implement such plan (or an alternative mutually agreed-upon by the Providing Party and the Receiving Party), in which case the Receiving Party shall reimburse the Providing Party for (or, at the direction of the Providing Party, directly pay) all costs and expenses associated with the implementation of the plan. Unless and until the Receiving Party elects to have the Providing Party implement an agreed-upon plan to correct the condition, the Providing Party shall not be responsible for its failure to provide the affected Service in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the applicable Historical Performance Levels), so long as any such failure is related to the condition(s) described in the Providing Party’s notice to the Receiving Party, but there shall be no reduction in fees charged hereunder as a result of the foregoing.

k. Termination of Services. The Receiving Party may terminate a Service by providing sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to the Providing Party and by paying to the Providing Party any costs incurred by the Providing Party as a result of the early termination that would not have had otherwise been incurred had such Service not been terminated early, including without limitation, any remaining unused portions of licenses or similar charges. Once the Receiving Party has notified the Providing Party in writing that the Providing Party is no longer required to provide a particular Service, the Receiving Party may not thereafter elect to again receive such Service from a Providing Party without the Providing Party’s consent.

l. Decommissioning Process. It is the intention of the Parties to promptly begin planning for the Decommissioning of the Services to be provided hereunder. To that end, within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date (the “Decommissioning Plan Agreement Deadline”), each Providing Party and each Receiving Party shall agree on a written decommissioning plan for each Service (each such written plan, a “Decommissioning Plan”) that is not already separated (or nearly separated) by the end of such ninety (90) day period. Within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, each Receiving Party shall, with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable Providing Party (if requested by the Receiving Party), generate a reasonable Decommissioning Plan for each Service it receives that will allow the applicable Service to be Decommissioned by the end of the initial term for that Service, and provide such Decommissioning Plan to the applicable Providing Party of such Service for the Providing Party’s review and comment. Upon mutual written agreement on the final version of the Decommissioning Plan, the applicable Receiving Party and the applicable Providing Party shall proceed to execute the identified Decommissioning Plan. Nothing in this Section 3(l) shall obligate a Party to terminate receipt of a Service prior to the end of the term specified in the relevant Transition Service Schedule.

a. Transition Management. Haemonetics and the Company shall each identify a lead person to manage the Services to be provided under this Agreement (each a “Transition Manager”). The Transition Managers, along with any other personnel they deem necessary, will meet by phone on a regular basis (but no less often than weekly), pursuant to a schedule that they mutually agree upon, to review the performance of the Services and the progress being made in transitioning the Product Lines to Haemonetics, and to work to correct any problems or issues that may arise. Haemonetics’ initial Transition Manager shall be [____________________] and the Company’s initial Transition Manager shall be [____________________]. Each Party may change their Transition Manager at any time upon written notice to the other Party in accordance with Section 15. The Transition Manager of each Party will have the ability to bind that Party and will have primary responsibility for the performance of the obligations of that Party, including:

b. Identification and Replacement of Personnel. Each Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to replace any or all of the individuals identified by it pursuant to Section 4(a) by giving ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof to the other Party.

c. Additional Obligations. To the extent not prohibited by law, the Receiving Party and its Affiliates and contractors shall:

b. Payment Terms. The Providing Party shall invoice the Receiving Party monthly for all charges pursuant to this Agreement in U.S. dollars at the end of each month. Such invoices shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanations supporting such charges. Invoices shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Payments may be made by check or wire transfer. All payments shall be made without offsets or deductions. If the Receiving Party believes that there is any error in an invoice delivered by the Providing Party, the Receiving Party must notify the Providing Party of such error within sixty (60) days after the Receiving Party’s receipt of such invoice. The Receiving Party hereby waives the right to dispute any invoice on the basis of purported error if the Receiving Party fails to provide such written notice to the Providing Party within such sixty (60)-day period. Any undisputed portion of an invoice that is not paid when due shall accrue interest at the lesser of (i) one and one-half percent (1½%) per month, or (ii) the highest rate of interest permitted by applicable law until such invoiced portion and all such interest is paid.

c. Performance under Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be charged under this Agreement for any obligations that are specifically required to be performed under the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and any such other obligations shall be performed and charged for, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement or such other Transaction Document.

d. Invoice Disputes. In the event of a bona fide dispute regarding an amount invoiced hereunder (“Disputed Invoice”), the Providing Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Receiving Party with records relating to the disputed amount set forth in the Disputed Invoice (to the extent such have not already been provided to the Receiving Party) so as to enable the Parties to resolve the dispute. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute promptly but if such dispute is not resolved by the Parties within sixty (60) days following the Receiving Party’s receipt of the Disputed Invoice, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 14 hereof. Upon resolution of the dispute, the Receiving Party shall pay the Providing Party, within five (5) Business Days, any amount owed to the Providing Party.

e. Taxes. All sales, use and other taxes, levies and charges (other than taxes based on net income or net profits) imposed by applicable taxing authorities on the provision of Services shall be borne by the Receiving Party. If the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates are required to pay such taxes, levies or charges in connection with the provision of such Services, the Receiving Party shall promptly reimburse the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates therefor. The rates set forth in this Agreement for the Services do not include any such taxes, levies or charges.

f. Currency. Except as otherwise described in a particular Transition Service Schedule, all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid in United States dollars.

g. Survival of Payment Obligations. The payment obligations of this Article 5 shall survive the Term of this Agreement, if necessary, and shall continue until all payment disputes have been resolved and all such payment obligations have been satisfied in full.

6. Licenses. Subject to each Party obtaining the Required Consents for which it is responsible pursuant to Section 3(d), the Company and Haemonetics hereby grant to each other a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, royalty-free license to any Intellectual Property and any and all hardware, equipment, systems, and related items, that are owned or (where either of them has the right to grant such license hereunder or can procure such right without any material costs) used by either of them, as is reasonably necessary for any Providing Party to provide the Services hereunder. Such license is granted solely for the Term of this Agreement for the sole purpose of enabling such Providing Party to provide such applicable Services. Such Providing Party shall not use or disclose such license for any purpose unrelated to the provision of the applicable Services, except as required by applicable statute, law, rule, or regulation.

a. Each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party, its Affiliates and contractors and their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, suits and actions (each, a “Third-Party Claim” and collectively, “Third-Party Claims”), including Third-Party Claims made by the Indemnifying Party’s employees, and all related Losses, to the extent caused by (i) the breach by the Indemnifying Party of any covenant, representation or warranty made hereunder or (ii) any act or deed constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct committed or omitted by the Indemnifying Party, its directors, officers or employees in their performance or receipt of Services hereunder.

b. Receiving Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Providing Party, its Affiliates and contractors and their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents from and against any “Third-Party Claims” and all related Losses incurred by Providing Party arising from or relating to the Providing Party’s lawful exercise of any of its rights set forth in this Agreement relating to its provision of the Services.

c. In the event of any claim, suit or action relating to any matter for which a Party has agreed to provide indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”), the Party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly provide notice of such claim, suit or action to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall then have the option to assume the defense or prosecution of such claim, suit or action, at its sole cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the conduct of such defense and/or settlement at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party may, if it wishes and at its expense, retain counsel to participate in the claim, suit or action, and in such event the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel. In no event, however, may there be a settlement of any claim, suit or action under which the Indemnified Party would be required to assume any liability, make any admissions or be subject to any equitable relief without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

a. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOST SALES) IN CONNECTION WITH LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THE CONDUCT OF SUCH PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NONPERFORMING PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR NOT.

b. The limitations of liability contained in Section 9(a) shall not apply with respect to liabilities arising under a Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder or to a Party’s obligation to pay the fees and charges specified herein.

i. Neither Party will disclose any of the terms of this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may disclose such terms (i) to its accountants and advisors who have a “need-to-know” solely for the purpose of providing services to such Party, or (ii) to existing and potential lenders and acquirers and the accountants and advisors of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that in the case of this clause (ii) any such recipient is bound by a written agreement (or in the case of attorneys or other professional advisors, formal ethical duties) requiring such recipients not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party.

ii. In addition, this Agreement and terms hereof may be disclosed as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law, regulation, stock market or stock exchange rule or rule of a self regulatory organization (e.g., rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Nasdaq or the NYSE); provided that a Party proposing to make such a disclosure as required by law, rule or regulation shall, where legally permitted to do so, inform the other Party a reasonable time prior to such required disclosure, shall provide the other Party with a copy of the text of such proposed disclosure sufficiently in advance of the proposed disclosure to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed disclosure (including, if applicable, a redacted version of this Agreement) and shall reasonably consider, consistent with applicable law, rule and regulation (including reasonable interpretations thereof), the reasonable requests of the other Party regarding confidential treatment for such disclosure.

c. Ownership of Confidential Information. The Recipient shall obtain no rights with respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and in all cases the Disclosing Party shall retain all right, title and interest in its Confidential Information.

e. Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall begin on the Effective Date and terminate, and this Agreement shall similarly terminate on the later to occur of (a) the eighteenth (18) month anniversary of the Effective Date or (b) the last day for the provision of Services specified in any Transaction Service Schedule, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties or unless this Agreement has been earlier terminated pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement.

a. A Receiving Party may terminate this Agreement, with respect to any one or more of the Services provided to it hereunder, for any reason or for no reason, at any time upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Providing Party. In addition, subject to the provisions of Section 14, either Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to a specific Service if the other Party breaches a material provision (including without limitation the obligation to pay the charges as provided in Section 5 above) with regard to that specific Service and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after being given written notice of such breach. Once the Receiving Party has notified the Providing Party in writing that the Providing Party is no longer required to provide a particular Service, the Receiving Party may not thereafter elect to again receive such Service from the Providing Party without such Providing Party’s consent.

b. If the Receiving Party fails to timely pay any amounts due hereunder, the Providing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with written notice of such failure. If the Receiving Party does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the first notice, then the Providing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with an additional written notice specifying the Providing Party's intent to terminate its performance of the Services if such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days from the Receiving Party’s receipt of the second notice. If the Receiving Party does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the second notice, then upon written notice to the Receiving Party, the Providing Party may immediately terminate its obligation to provide the Services (or any portion thereof specified in such notice) and to cease providing such Services to the Receiving Party.

c. The termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such termination or expiration, or affect or impair the rights of either Party arising under this Agreement prior to such termination or expiration, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein. Termination of the Providing Party’s obligation to provide the Services shall not (i) terminate the Receiving Party’s obligation to pay the fees for such Services or (ii) terminate this Agreement.

d. The provisions of Sections 5, 7, 10 and 13 through 28 and this Section 12 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

13. Consent to Jurisdiction. SUBJECT TO SECTION 14 BELOW, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PROPERLY AND EXCLUSIVELY LIE IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF ANY PROCESS REQUIRED BY ANY SUCH COURT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND LAWFUL SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST THEM, WITHOUT NECESSITY FOR SERVICE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR RULE OF COURT.

14. Arbitration. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, any dispute, controversy or claim arising under or relating to this Agreement or any breach or threatened breach thereof (“Arbitrable Dispute”) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, subject to the following:

a. Any Party may demand that any Arbitrable Dispute be submitted to binding arbitration. The demand for arbitration shall be in writing, shall be served on the other Party in the manner prescribed herein for the giving of notices, and shall set forth a short statement of the factual basis for the claim, specifying the matter or matters to be arbitrated.

b. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, one selected by Haemonetics, one selected by the Company and the third to be selected jointly by the arbitrators selected by Haemonetics and the Company (collectively, the “Arbitrators”) who shall conduct such evidentiary or other hearings as they deem necessary or appropriate and thereafter shall make their determination as soon as practicable. Any arbitration pursuant hereto shall be conducted by the Arbitrators under the guidance of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence, but the Arbitrators shall not be required to comply strictly with such Rules in conducting any such arbitration. All such arbitration proceedings shall take place in the State of New York.

i. each Party shall bear its own “Costs and Fees,” which are defined as all reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses (including, but not limited to, copying and telephone), witness fees, and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses;

ii. the fees and expenses of the Arbitrators and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration (“Arbitration Expenses”) shall be borne equally by the Parties; and

iii. notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitrators shall be empowered to require any one or more of the Parties to bear all or any portion of such Costs and Fees and/or the fees and expenses of the Arbitrators in the event that the Arbitrators determine such Party has acted unreasonably or in bad faith.

d. The Arbitrators shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of the State if New York could order or grant, including, without limitation, specific performance of any obligation created under this Agreement, the awarding of Damages, the issuance of an injunction, or the imposition of sanctions for abuse or frustration of the arbitration process. The Arbitrators shall render their decision and award upon the concurrence of at least two (2) of their number. Such decision and award shall be in writing and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to each Party. The decision and award of the Arbitrators shall be binding on all Parties. In rendering such decision and award, the Arbitrators shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated hereby to which the Company or Haemonetics or any of their respective subsidiaries is a party and shall make their determinations in accordance therewith. Any Party to the arbitration may seek to have judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrators entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

e. Each Party agrees that it will not file any suit, motion, petition or otherwise commence any legal action or proceeding for any matter which is required to be submitted to arbitration as contemplated herein except in connection with the enforcement of an award rendered by the Arbitrators. Upon the entry of an order dismissing or staying any action or proceeding filed contrary to the preceding sentence, the Party which filed such action or proceeding shall promptly pay to the other Party the reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by such other Party prior to the entry of such order.

f. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may apply to a court of law or equity for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof in accordance with Section 13.

Either Party may give any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder using any other means (including electronic mail), but no such notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given or received unless and until it actually is received by the Party for which it is intended and the notifying Party can provide evidence of such actual receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties expressly agree that any notices, approvals or other communications regarding the Transition Service Schedules that are required herein to be given in writing shall be deemed duly given and received if sent via electronic mail, provided the delivering Party has a computer notification of the transmitted notice having been sent and the delivering Party has no knowledge that the receiving Party is not available to retrieve such electronic mail message, to: in the case of Company, [_______] at [_______]@[_______], with a copy to [_______] at [_______]@[_______]; and, in the case of Haemonetics, [_______] at [_______]@[_______], with a copy to [_______] at [_______]@[_______].

This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement executed by the Parties.

18. Assignments; Successors; No Third-Party Rights. Subject to each Party’s right to hire third parties under Section 3(i), no Party may assign any of its rights, or delegate, or cause to be assumed, any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 18, each Party and each Party’s permitted assigns may, at any time, in their sole discretion, assign and delegate, in whole or in part, their rights and duties, respectively, under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement, or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 18.

19. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance, is held to be unenforceable or invalid by any governmental body or arbitrator, or under any applicable law, the Parties shall negotiate an equitable adjustment to the provisions of this Agreement with the view to effecting, to the greatest extent possible, the original purpose and intent of this Agreement. In any event, the invalidity of any provision of this Agreement, or portion of a provision, shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement, or the remaining portion of the applicable provision.

21. Independent Contractors. The Company and Haemonetics acknowledge that their relationship is that of independent contracting parties and this Agreement does not create an agency, joint venture, partnership, employment or franchise relationship between them.

The Company and Haemonetics are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.”

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of __________, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company is selling to Haemonetics substantially all of the assets relating to the Product Lines (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), including, but not limited to, the Finished Goods Inventory (as defined herein);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Initial Closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Parties are entering into that certain Supply Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date (the “Supply Agreement”), which Supply Agreement sets forth, among other things, the terms and conditions on which the Company will provide Haemonetics the Components (as defined in the Supply Agreement) and the Parties’ regulatory responsibilities and obligations with respect to such supply of the Components; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth their roles and responsibilities with respect to obtaining and maintaining the necessary regulatory approvals with respect to the sale of the Finished Goods Inventory and Transition Finished Products (as defined herein) following the Initial Closing under the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties covenant and agree with each other as follows:

1.1 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

1.2 “Company Finished Products” means Finished Products manufactured and sold by the Company prior to the Initial Closing Date.

1.3 “Country” means each country where the Company sold Finished Products prior to the Initial Closing Date as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

1.4 “Finished Goods Inventory” means Finished Products manufactured by the Company and transferred to Haemonetics at the Initial Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

1.5 “Finished Products” means fully manufactured and assembled, merchantable, blood collection, filtration and processing products included in the Product Lines that are approved or cleared for specific medical uses pursuant to the Permits described in the Purchase Agreement.

1.6 “Haemonetics Finished Products” means Finished Products manufactured with Haemonetics’ labeling after the Initial Closing Date.

1.7 “Licensed Trademarks” means the trademarks listed on Exhibit B hereto.

1.9 “Transition Finished Products” means Finished Products manufactured by Haemonetics with the Company’s labeling during the Term.

1.10 “Transition Period” means the 12-month period following the Initial Closing Date, as such period may be extended with respect to a particular Country in accordance with Section 2.4 below.

2.1 Assistance. During the Transition Period, the Company shall provide Haemonetics reasonable assistance, at Haemonetics’ cost and expense, in connection with the sale of Finished Goods Inventory and Transition Finished Products in the Territory. Such assistance shall consist of: (i) consultation regarding the historical experience of the Company with respect to its manufacturing site registrations, product registrations, listings, licensing and labeling in each Country; (ii) the introduction to Haemonetics of the primary local contacts, if any, or governmental contacts used by the Company with respect to its manufacturing site registrations, product registrations, listings, licensing and labeling in each Country; and (iii) delivery to Haemonetics of any records or documentation regarding the Company’s manufacturing site registrations, product registrations, listings, licensing and labeling that Haemonetics is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Company Records”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to provide any regulatory or legal advice to Haemonetics or to prepare any filings or other documentation for any Country, except for customary seller notices to Governmental Entities or as may be required by Law in a Country in order to permit Haemonetics to meet its own regulatory requirements for manufacturing site registrations, product registrations, listings, licensing and/or labeling in such Country. Haemonetics shall pay the Company for such services at the rate set forth in Section 5(a)(i) of the Master Transition Services Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Haemonetics and the Company; provided that no payment shall be required in connection with the delivery of the Company Records to Haemonetics. The Company shall invoice Haemonetics monthly for all charges pursuant to this Agreement in U.S. dollars at the end of each month. Such invoices shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanations supporting such charges. Invoices shall be due and payable within 30 days after the date of the invoice. Payments may be made by check or wire transfer. All payments shall be made without offsets or deductions. If Haemonetics believes that there is any error in an invoice delivered by the Company, Haemonetics must notify the Company of such error within 60 days after Haemonetics’ receipt of such invoice. Haemonetics hereby waives the right to dispute any invoice on the basis of purported error if Haemonetics fails to provide such written notice to the Company within such 60-day period. Any undisputed portion of an invoice that is not paid when due shall accrue interest at the lesser of (i) one and one-half percent (1½%) per month, or (ii) the highest rate of interest permitted by applicable Law until such invoiced portion and all such interest is paid.

2.2 Use of Company Labels. Haemonetics shall be responsible for determining the specific regulatory requirements for manufacturing site registrations, product registrations, listings, licensing and labeling in each Country for both Finished Goods Inventory and Transition Finished Products. Haemonetics will notify the Company of the results of its analysis, and the Parties must agree in writing on how Finished Goods Inventory and Transition Finished Products will be labeled for sale in each such Country (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior to the sale of any such Finished Goods Inventory and Transition Finished Products in each such Country. If the Parties agree in writing that a particular Country permits Haemonetics to rely on the Company’s prior manufacturing site registrations, product registrations, listings, licensing and/or labeling to market, sell and distribute Finished Goods Inventory or Transition Finished Products in such Country, Haemonetics may, in the manner agreed to between the Parties, during the Transition Period or such shorter period as may be prescribed by applicable Law, market, sell and distribute the Finished Goods Inventory and Transition Finished Products in such Country utilizing the Company’s applicable form of product label (“Company Labels”). Haemonetics is responsible for complying with all labeling and/or relabeling requirements that the applicable Governmental Entities in such Country may apply to the sale of such Finished Goods Inventory and Transition Finished Products in such Country. The Company will provide reasonable assistance to Haemonetics with respect to the transition of labeling of Finished Products manufactured by Haemonetics to be marketed, sold and distributed in the Territory during the Transition Period. Haemonetics agrees not to sell any products utilizing the Company Labels (i) except as agreed to by the Parties as provided in this Section 2.2, (ii) in any Country where such sale would be unlawful or (iii) without the prior written consent of the Company, in any country where the Company did not sell Finished Products prior to the Initial Closing Date.

2.3 Initial Filings; Reports. Subject to the Company providing the applicable Company Records to Haemonetics in accordance with Section 2.1 above, Haemonetics shall submit all initial filings required to obtain the manufacturing site registration, product registration, listing, licensing and/or labeling applicable to the manufacture and sale of Finished Products in each Country (the “Initial Filings”) within 12 months following the Initial Closing Date. Haemonetics agrees to provide the Company with a summary report on at least a monthly basis during the Transition Period describing the status of the Initial Filings and Haemonetics’ plan to cease using the Company Labels in each Country. If the Company has provided the applicable Company Records to Haemonetics in accordance with Section 2.1 and Haemonetics has not, for any reason, fully completed its Initial Filings within such 12 month period in a particular Country, Haemonetics may not continue to distribute or sell Company labeled product in that Country after the expiration of such 12 month period.

2.4 Extension of Transition Period. If Haemonetics has complied in all material respects with Section 2.3 above (including, without limitation, its obligations to make Initial Filings within the agreed 12 month period) and has otherwise worked diligently during the Transition Period to obtain the required manufacturing site registration, product registration, listing, licensing and/or labeling applicable to the manufacture and sale of the Finished Products to cease using the Company Labels in any Country but has not obtained all such registrations, listings, licenses and labeling within 12 months following the Initial Closing Date, then the Transition Period for such Country shall automatically be extended by 12 months or such shorter period of time as the Parties may reasonably agree.

2.5 Haemonetics Finished Products. The Parties’ responsibilities with respect to the Haemonetics Finished Products shall be as set forth in the Supply Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

3.1 Compliance with Laws.

The Company shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws relating to the performance of its obligations hereunder.

Each Party shall provide the other Party with all adverse event or product failure information regarding Finished Goods Inventory or Transition Finished Products it receives within two (2) Business Days of its receipt to reasonably support such Party’s recall assessments, including providing reasonable access to records, equipment, personnel, and assistance in conducting failure investigations to conduct recall assessments pursuant to its regulatory requirements.

If Haemonetics determines that the customer complaint with respect to Finished Goods Inventory indicates a potential Company product deviation detected by Haemonetics or its customers, Haemonetics shall notify the Company of the complaint and provide a sample of the Finished Products to the Company, if and when available, to determine root-cause and appropriate corrective action. The Company and Haemonetics will work cooperatively together. A summary of all pertinent failure analysis results shall be provided to both Parties. Each failure and each anomaly associated with the manufacturing process or the design of the product shall require an investigation as to root cause and corrective action, including implementation dates, if applicable. The investigation shall be performed at the lowest level necessary to identify the failure mode and mechanism. Supporting documentation resulting from each analysis and investigation shall be attached to and made available as part of the failure report. Detailed results of each completed failure report shall be furnished to both Parties. The Company will as promptly as practicable allow Haemonetics to review implementation of corrective action(s) functions by review of documentation and training records, or an on-site audit, to determine effectiveness. Such audits shall take place on reasonable notice and during normal business hours so as not to disrupt Company's operations.

If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

This Distribution Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of [_____________] (the “Effective Date’) by and between Haemonetics Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Haemonetics”), and the entities identified on each of the Schedules attached hereto (each, a “Distributor”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of [____________] (the “Asset Purchase Agreement” or “APA”), Haemonetics has purchased from Pall Corporation (the “Company”), and the Company has sold to Haemonetics, substantially all of the assets of the Product Lines (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), together with the goodwill represented thereby; and

WHEREAS, Haemonetics desires to appoint Distributor as a distributor in the Territories (as defined herein) for the sale of the Products (as defined herein) to the Customers (as defined herein) for the Term (as defined herein), and Distributor desires to accept such appointment.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

As used herein, the term “Products” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the corresponding schedule attached hereto (each, a “Schedule” and, collectively, the “Schedules”). Each of the Schedules attached hereto shall identify the relevant Territory (as hereinafter defined) in which the Products listed on such Schedule shall be sold, the Customers to whom the Products will be sold, and the Term (as hereinafter defined) applicable to such Territory.

Haemonetics reserves the right to remove one or more of the Products for any reason in Haemonetics’ sole discretion. For Products removed from sale by Haemonetics hereunder, Haemonetics will fulfill existing commitments by Distributor for the supply of the removed Products to customers beyond the removal date, for a period not to exceed the Term applicable to the Territory in which the Product was removed.

As used herein, the term the “Territory” or the “Territories” shall mean, individually or collectively, as applicable, the countries listed on the individual Schedules attached hereto. Distributor may not solicit sales nor market the Products outside the Territories.

Haemonetics may, from time to time and in its sole discretion during the Term, remove one or more of the Territories and thereby reduce the number of Territories subject to this Agreement. Haemonetics will provide Distributor with as much notice as reasonably possible but in no event less than thirty (30) days advance notice of the removal of any Territory. For Territories removed by Haemonetics under this Section 2.2, Haemonetics will fulfill existing commitments by Distributor for the supply of the Products to Customers beyond the removal date, for a period not to exceed the original Term applicable to that Territory.

The parties acknowledge that the number of employees listed on each of the Schedules and otherwise separately identified to Haemonetics after the execution of the APA are “Qualified Employees” as defined therein and that Haemonetics is obligated under the terms of the APA to offer such Qualified Employees employment. Subject to the agreement of the Qualified Employee, any Qualified Employee who is providing services under this Agreement but who wishes to accept Haemonetics’ offer of employment shall remain in the employ of Distributor during the relevant Term (subject to the Distributor’s customary conditions of employment) in order to facilitate Distributor’s provision of services under this Agreement during the relevant Term. Upon the expiration or early termination of the Term for a particular Territory, the corresponding Qualified Employees who have accepted Haemonetics’ offer of employment shall become Transferred Employees as defined in the APA. Haemonetics shall reimburse Distributor for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Distributor in connection with the employment of such Qualified Employees, including without limitation, all wages, employment taxes and withholding, vacation, benefits and any other additional costs that may be incurred in connection with their continued employment for the period between the Initial Closing (as defined in the APA) and expiration or early termination of the Term in respect of the Territory in which such Qualified Employee was employed by Distributor.

Each Distributor irrevocably agrees and undertakes that it will not at any time, whether during the Term of this Agreement or thereafter, register or seek to register this Agreement on any commercial agent's register (if any) or with any other authority or agency of or within the Territories. Should such registration be required by local laws, Distributor will promptly inform Haemonetics in writing thereof and only apply for such registration in co-ordination with Haemonetics and with the prior written approval of Haemonetics.

6.2. Recording and reporting obligations – Distributor's obligations in the event of a recall

The purchase of Products from Haemonetics shall be transacted in accordance with the transfer pricing utilized by Distributor with respect to the Products during Distributor’s fiscal year 2012 as specified in the applicable Schedule.

Haemonetics expressly reserves the rights to sell the Products inclusive of taxes (including VAT) upon written notice to Distributor. Haemonetics shall remit VAT to the tax authorities as required by law. Prior to remittance by Haemonetics, Distributor may recover taxes paid upon submission to Haemonetics of documentation sufficient to demonstrate the exemption of its purchases of Products hereunder from VAT. Upon timely submission of the required documentation, Haemonetics shall issue a credit memorandum to Distributor for the VAT withheld on such purchases.

Haemonetics will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Distributor such Products as are sufficient to satisfy the orders provided by Distributor, within the specified delivery dates, subject to worldwide availability of Products and shall not be liable to Distributor for any loss of trade or profit or any other losses or damages occurring to Distributor if delivery of Products is delayed or prevented.

Distributor may submit its orders for Products on its standard purchase order form, in which case Distributor expressly agrees that any general terms and conditions appearing on such form shall not apply. Distributor may submit its orders for Products on Haemonetics’ standard purchase order form in which case Haemonetics expressly agrees that any general terms and conditions appearing on such form shall not apply. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, this Agreement shall prevail in the event of any contradiction between the general terms and conditions contained on Haemonetics’ standard purchase order and any provision contained herein.

Haemonetics may reasonably refuse all or any part of an order for Products in the event that the purchase order contains items outside the scope of this Agreement or contains terms and conditions that vary from or seek to alter this Agreement.

For the purpose of this Agreement, a purchase order shall be deemed to have been placed by Distributor if and when it has been received and accepted in writing by Haemonetics.

All shipments shall be made Ex Works (Incoterms 2010) Haemonetics point of origin. Drop shipments to Customers of Distributor will be made by Haemonetics only if expressly agreed upon in advance. Haemonetics reserves the right to make partial shipments, unless Distributor specifies otherwise on a firm order.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, title to and risk of loss of the Products will pass to Distributor when the Products are delivered by Haemonetics, at Haemonetics point of origin, to the shipper appointed by Distributor. Distributor will be responsible for shipping and insuring the Products during shipment, clearing export and import customs and shall carry any related taxes and duties. Distributor shall be entitled to reimbursement for all costs and expenses incurred by Distributor in connection with the freight, shipment, import, export, customs, taxes, duties and any other additional costs that may be incurred in connection with the transportation and importation of the Products to the Territories.

Payment terms shall be net thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Prices do not include freight, shipping, import or export duties, customs fees and like charges of transportation and importation to the Territories.

Each Distributor warrants and represents that it complies with all applicable laws and regulations in all material respects, and does not conduct its business activities in a manner that might constitute, or be construed as, a violation of the FCPA or any international treaties on anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices. Each Distributor confirms its understanding that the FCPA prohibits the payment or giving of anything of value either directly or indirectly, to an official of a foreign government, foreign political party or official thereof, or any candidate for foreign political office, for the purpose of influencing an act or decision in his official capacity, or inducing him to use his influence with the foreign government, to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any person.

Haemonetics shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Distributor, its affiliates and contractors and their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, suits and actions (each, a “Third-Party Claim” and collectively, “Third-Party Claims”) and any related loss, liability, claim, charge, action, suit, proceeding, assessed interest, penalty, or damage (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by such Distributor arising from or relating to its performance under this Agreement, provided however that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to (and Haemonetics will have no obligation to indemnify Distributor) Third-Party Claims and related Losses arising solely from the Distributor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein.

Should any failure to conform to the Product quality warranties herein become apparent, Haemonetics, upon prompt written notice and compliance by Distributor with such instructions as Haemonetics shall give with respect to the return of defective Products, shall correct such nonconformity by repair or replacement of the defective Products, at Haemonetic’s sole cost and expense.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOST SALES) IN CONNECTION WITH LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THE CONDUCT OF SUCH PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NONPERFORMING PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR NOT, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOST SALES) OF THIRD PARTIES THAT ARE AN ELEMENT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE EXTENT DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A PARTY AND ACTUALLY PAID BY SUCH PARTY WILL CONSTITUTE IDENTIFIABLE DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND DIRECT DAMAGES BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

For the Term of this Agreement, Haemonetics grants to each Distributor a royalty-free, non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use Haemonetics’ Trademarks, for the sole purpose of performing this Agreement, in accordance with and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of Section 12.2 below. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Trademarks” shall refer to the trademark “Haemonetics”, in any form or combination and all other trademarks used and/or registered or to be used and/or registered by Haemonetics in connection with the manufacture, marketing, promotion, distribution and sale of the Products, to the exclusion of any other trademark, trade name or logo.

In using the Trademarks, Distributor shall comply with Haemonetics’ specific instructions and the manner of such use shall not create the impression that Distributor is in any respect vested with ownership of the Trademarks nor of creating any confusion with respect to the actual ownership thereof.

12.2. Ownership and protection of the Trademarks and other intellectual property rights

Each Distributor acknowledges and agrees that Haemonetics is the owner or licensee of the trademarks and trade names, patents, patent applications or registrations, copyrights, inventions, know-how and confidential processes regarding the Products, licenses, design rights, and other trade secret and other protectable rights regarding Haemonetics and/or the Products, including any translations (the “Intellectual Property Rights”).

Both parties agree that they shall carry insurance of a kind and in an amount sufficient to satisfy any obligations they may incur to each other or to third parties in connection with the performance of this Agreement or with the Products sold and purchased hereunder and shall provide upon request certificates of insurance to confirm such coverage.

The parties understand and agree that each Distributor is an independent contractor in the performance of this Agreement and that neither party is an agent of the other nor are the parties to be partners, joint ventures or otherwise. Further, neither party shall not be entitled to participate in any plans, arrangements or distributions offered by the other party to its employees, including without limitation any bonus, profit sharing, insurance or similar benefits. Each party shall be solely responsible to purchase any required insurance such as workers compensation insurance and to pay or withhold any duties or taxes on account of their employees.

The waiver by either party of any breach of any agreement, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement shall not be construed to act as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

In addition, subject to Lessor’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Lessee shall have the right to install equipment such as storage devices, backup generators and other comparable equipment on areas of the Land adjacent to the Premises, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation the provisions regarding Alterations.

Within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and/or Lessor, at Lessor’s sole cost and expense, may elect to cause the Floor Space of the Premises to be measured by a licensed architect. If such calculation (the “Remeasured Floor Space”) reflects a deviation of more than five percent (5%) from the Floor Space of the Premises set forth in Section 1.1(m), and the other party approves the Remeasured Floor Space, then the Floor Space under this Lease shall be deemed to be the Remeasured Floor Space. If it is less than five percent (5%), then the Floor Space shall be as set forth in Section 1.1(m). If the parties are unable to conclusively agree on the Remeasured Floor Space, then the parties agree to have the Premises remeasured by a licensed independent, third-party architect or engineer reasonably acceptable to both parties whose determination of Floor Space shall be final, binding and conclusive, barring manifest error. The fees and costs of such third-party architect or engineer shall be shared equally by the parties. If the parties do not exercise their right to measure the Floor Space as provided herein, both Lessor and Lessee hereby acknowledge and agree that each party shall be deemed to have absolutely and unconditionally (a) waived such right to remeasure; (b) accepted the Floor Space calculation as set forth in Section 1.1(m); and (c) released and waived such rights the parties may have against one another in the event the Floor Space calculation set forth in Section 1.1(m) is different from the actual Floor Space of the Premises.

2.2 Term. Subject to being sooner terminated as herein elsewhere provided, the term of this Lease shall be a period (hereinafter referred to as the “Original Term”) commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date. Provided that Lessee is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Lessee shall have the right to renew this Lease for three (3) additional five (5) year terms (a) commencing on the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifteenth (15^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “First Renewal Term”), (b) commencing on the fifteenth (15^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the twentieth (20^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Second Renewal Term”), and (c) commencing on the twentieth 20^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the twenty-fifth (25^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Third Renewal Term”) (each a “Renewal Term” and collectively, the “Renewal Terms”). Each Renewal Term shall be exercised by Lessee upon six (6) months’ advance written notice to Lessor prior to the expiration of the Original Term or the then applicable Renewal Term. Each Renewal Term shall be subject to and upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease and shall be effective upon the applicable notice from Tenant without a requirement for execution of an amendment or new lease.

3.1 Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date and for each Lease Year of the Term of the Lease, Lessee agrees to pay as Base Rent for the Premises without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, together with all applicable sales and/or rent taxes thereon, the following specified annual amounts:

(a) For the Original Term, the annual Base Rent shall be the sum of One Dollar ($1) (the “Initial Base Rent”); and

(b) If Lessee exercises its renewal option for the First Renewal Term, Second Renewal Term, or Third Renewal Term (as set forth in Section 2.2 above), the annual Base Rent for any of such terms shall continue to be the Initial Base Rent.

3.2 Mode and Place of Payment of Rent. All Rent, and any other sums due Lessor hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America, without Notice or demand and without any set offs or deductions, at such place as Lessor may have designated in a Notice to Lessee, and in the absence of such designation, at the address to which Notices intended for Lessor are to be delivered in accordance with Section 15.2.

3.3 Overdue Rent. All Rent required by this Lease to be paid to Lessor shall bear interest from and after the date which is five (5) days after the due date thereof until paid at the Lease Interest Rate. If Lessee shall fail to pay any Rent payable hereunder within ten (10) days after the due date thereof, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of such installment for the month during which such installment was due and a like amount for each month or fraction thereof during which such installment remains unpaid.

3.4 Additional Rent. As a component of Rent to be paid by Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as Additional Rent commencing on the Commencement Date and thereafter during each and every month of the Term, its proportionate share of Expenses and Property Taxes (as set forth in Section 5.1) calculated on an annual basis for each calendar year. For the purposes of this Lease, Lessee’s proportionate share of Building Expenses shall be [90.8%] of Building Expenses and Lessee’s proportionate share of General Common Area Expenses shall be [36.7%] of the General Common Area Expenses.

(a) Lessor shall deliver to Lessee, at least sixty (60) days in advance of each calendar year, a budget of the proposed Expenses and Property Taxes to be incurred for such calendar year and a property management plan for upcoming projects, which shall be subject to Lessee’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At Lessee’s request, given within twenty (20) days after receipt of the proposed budget, the parties shall meet and discuss in good faith such Expenses and the property management plan for the coming year, including, without limitation, any requirements for capital expenditures. If Lessee fails to request a meeting within said twenty (20) days the proposed budget shall be deemed approved. Tenant shall pay the amounts of Additional Rent, as set forth in the approved budget, during each calendar year on a monthly basis from and after the Commencement Date. If at the beginning of any calendar year the budget for said year has not been agreed to then pending agreement on the budget (i) any items or portions of the budget which have been agreed to shall become operative immediately, (ii) Lessor shall have the right to expend in respect of recurring expenses amounts equal to the budgeted amount for the immediately preceding calendar year as increased by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the Index during the immediately preceding twelve month period, and (iii) Lessor shall have the right to expend funds in respect of utilities, taxes, assessments, insurance (including deductibles) and emergency repairs regardless of whether they exceed previously agreed upon amounts or amounts set forth in a previously agreed to budget. If Lessor determines that Expenses will exceed the approved budget at any time during such calendar year, Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee and describe the reason for such excess Expenses. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, Lessor shall furnish Lessee with a statement (the “Additional Rent Adjustment Statement”) of the actual costs of Property Taxes and Expenses for the preceding calendar year for which estimated payments were billed. If the actual cost of Additional Rent is greater than Lessee’s estimated payments on account, Lessee shall pay any deficiency within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Additional Rent Adjustment Statement. If the actual cost of Additional Rent is less than Lessee’s estimated payments on account thereof, Lessor shall credit any excess payments to Lessee’s next due payment of Additional Rent, or if no payments are next due, Lessor shall refund such excess payment to Lessee. Any annual statement furnished by Lessor pertaining to Additional Rent which is not disputed by Lessee in writing within one hundred eighty (180) days after such statement is delivered to Lessee shall be deemed accepted by Lessee.

(b) Lessee shall have the right to examine, copy and audit Lessor’s books and records establishing Expenses and Property Taxes for any calendar year for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the date that Lessee receives the Additional Rent Adjustment Statement for such year from Lessor. If such audit reveals an error in any line item, Lessee shall have the right to audit and challenge the same line item in the prior two Additional Rent Adjustment Statements. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice of its intention to examine and audit such books and records, and such examination and audit shall take place in the Building or such other location where Lessor routinely maintains such books and records. All costs of the examination and audit shall be borne by Lessee; provided, however, that if such examination and audit establishes that the actual Expenses or Property Taxes for the year in question are less than the amount set forth as the annual Expenses or Property Taxes on the Additional Rent Adjustment Statement by at least five percent (5%), then Lessor shall pay the reasonable costs of such examination and audit. If, pursuant to the audit, the payments made for such year by Lessee exceed Lessee’s required payment on account thereof for such year, Lessor shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Lessee with respect to Rent (or promptly refund such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and Lessee has no further obligation to Lessor); but, if the payments made by Lessee for such year are less than Lessee’s required payment as established by the examination and audit, Lessee shall pay the deficiency to Lessor within thirty (30) days after conclusion of the examination and audit, and the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall survive expiration of the Term.

(c) In the event any Lease Year of the applicable Term includes a partial calendar year, Lessee’s proportionate share for such partial calendar year shall be prorated.

3.5 Partial Months and Lease Years. If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the Rent for any such month and for the month in which the Term expires shall be an amount bearing the same ratio to the then amount of Rent for the complete month as the number of days Rent is payable hereunder for such month bears to the total number of days in such month.

4.1 Permitted Use of Premises. Subject to the provisions of the other sections in this Article IV hereof, the Premises shall be used and occupied for the purposes of the manufacture of filters and other medical devices and the collection, filtration and processing of blood, and related general office, storage and distribution uses ancillary to the primary use, including, without limitation, storage of inventory on hand, raw materials, work in progress and finished products, subject to applicable permitting requirements.

4.2 Prohibited Uses. Neither party shall use or occupy, nor permit or suffer, the Building, Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied for any unlawful or illegal business, use or purpose, nor for any business, use or purpose which would violate the terms or impair the coverage of any insurance policies, nor in such manner as to constitute a nuisance of any kind, nor for any purpose or in any way in violation of any certificate of occupancy or of any present or future governmental laws, ordinances, requirements, orders, directions, rules or regulations. Each party shall immediately upon the discovery of any such unlawful, illegal, or improper use take all necessary steps, legal and equitable, to compel the discontinuance of such use and to oust and remove any occupants or other persons guilty of such unlawful, illegal, or improper use.

4.3 Materials Brought on Premises. Neither party shall suffer any act to be done or any condition to exist on the Building, Premises or any portion thereof or any Improvement now or hereafter erected thereon, or any article to be brought thereon, which may be dangerous, unless safeguarded as required by law, or which may, in law, constitute a nuisance, public or private, or which may make void or voidable any insurance then in force on the Building or Premises.

4.4 Use by Public. Lessee shall not suffer or permit, and shall take reasonable measures to prevent, the Premises or any portion thereof to be used by the public as such, without restriction or in such manner as might tend to impair Lessor’s title to the Premises or any portion thereof, or in such manner as might make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of the Premises or any portion thereof.

4.5 Covenants Against Waste, Abandonment and Other Matters. Lessee covenants, subject to the provisions of this Lease, not to do or suffer any waste or damage to the Premises or any of the Improvements and not to abandon the Premises during the Term hereof. Lessee covenants that without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld by Lessor for any reason or no reason, in its sole and absolute discretion, Lessee shall not initiate or petition for, or be a party to, any application to any governmental entity seeking (i) to rezone the Land, or (ii) any special use or variance under the existing zoning affecting the Land.

4.6 Compliance with Laws and Insurance Requirements. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, during the Term of this Lease, promptly comply with any and all present and future laws, rules, orders, ordinances, regulations, statutes and requirements of federal, state, county, city, or other governmental, public or quasi-public authorities now existing or hereafter created, and of any and all of their departments and bureaus, and of any applicable fire rating bureau, or other body exercising similar functions which Requirements include, but are not limited to, the Puerto Rico Building Code and the International Codes, the applicable land use and zoning regulations, the Civil Rights Act of 1992, The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and all Environmental Laws (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Requirements”) applicable to the Premises and any alterations or improvements performed by Tenant therein, irrespective of the nature of the work required to be done, extraordinary as well as ordinary, whether or not the same involve or require any structural change or additions in or to the Premises, or any part thereof. Lessee shall also comply with any and all provisions and requirements of any fire, liability or other insurance policy required to be carried by Lessee under the provisions of this Lease. Lessor shall cause the Building and Common Areas to comply with all applicable Requirements now or hereafter in effect except for those which are the responsibility of Lessee.

4.7 Environmental Compliance by Lessee. Without limiting the generality of Section 4.6, and subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 4.7, Lessee agrees as follows:

(a) Lessee shall comply with any and all Environmental Laws, settlements, agreements, consent orders, decrees, judgments, injunctions, permits or directives affecting the Premises or the operation thereof, or any requirement of any insurer of the Premises, and subject to the provisions hereof, shall timely perform, or cause to be performed, any investigation, testing, monitoring, repair, cleanup, detoxification, preparation of any closure or other required plans, or other removal, response, or remedial action (collectively, “Investigatory and Remedial Activities”) relating to (i) the presence, management, disposal, release, or threatened release, escape, seepage, or leakage or any Hazardous Materials at, on, in, from all or a portion of the Premises during the Term, or (ii) the migration of Hazardous Materials from the Premises to any other property, or (iii) the generation, transportation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials onto or from the Premises, or (iv) the future incorporation of any Hazardous Materials into the Premises, provided that, promptly upon completion of all required Investigatory and Remedial Activities, Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and to Lessor’s satisfaction, restore the affected areas of the Premises from any damage or condition caused by the Investigatory and Remedial Activities. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lessee shall keep Lessor fully informed with respect to, and provide notice and copies of, any communications with governmental authorities or any service provider (including any party performing testing, or sampling, engineering or contracting services) relating to compliance with Environmental Laws or any Investigatory and Remedial Activities related to the Premises.

(b) Lessee shall obtain and maintain in force all permits, licenses, registrations, and other authorization and approvals needed under Environmental Laws to maintain and occupy the Premises and shall not conduct or authorize the generation, transportation, recycling, treatment, storage or disposal at the Premises of any Hazardous Materials, except as normally incident to Lessee’s permitted use of the Premises and in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.

(c) If the presence, release, threat of release, placement on or in the Premises, or the generation, transportation, storage, treatment, or disposal at the Premises, or removal from the Premises, of any Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Lessee may give rise to liability (including, but not limited to, a response action, remedial action, or removal action) under Environmental Laws, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of such event, and if and to the extent Lessee is responsible therefor, as herein specified, Lessee shall, after consultation with Lessor with respect to the manner of such removal, take any and all remedial and removal action necessary to clean up the Premises and mitigate exposure to liability arising from the Hazardous Materials, whether or not required by law.

(d) Lessee shall use and cause its managers, and agents to use, the level of care that a reasonable and prudent operator would use in insuring that its occupation of the Premises and operation of the Premises are in full compliance with all Environmental Laws.

(e) Lessee hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold Lessor harmless from any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees, court costs and amounts paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive or other relief, liabilities or losses which arise during or after the Term as a result of the presence, management, disposal, release, or threatened release, escape, seepage, or leakage of any Hazardous Materials existing at, in, on, or under all or a portion of the Site, Building or Premises existing after the Commencement Date as a result of the acts or omissions of Lessee or its agents, contractors or employees. This indemnification of Lessor by Lessee includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, treatment, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or ground water above, on, or under the Site, Building or Premises. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Lease.

(f) Lessor hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold Lessee harmless from any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees, court costs and amounts paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive or other relief, liabilities or losses which arise during or after the Term as a result of the presence, management, disposal, release, or threatened release, escape, seepage, or leakage of any Hazardous Materials existing at, in, on, or under all or a portion of the Site, Building or Premises as of the Commencement Date or existing after the Commencement Date as a result of the acts or omissions of Lessor or its agents, contractors or employees. This indemnification of Lessee by Lessor includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, treatment, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or ground water above, on, or under the Site, Building or Premises. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Lease.

4.8 Maintenance and Repairs. Lessor shall be responsible for maintenance and repair to the roof and structural elements of the Premises and the Building along with the maintenance and repair of the Common Areas and Building Service Equipment not the responsibility of Lessee hereunder in compliance with the Requirements, except that if such repairs are necessitated by reason of Lessee’s negligence or willful misconduct, such repairs shall be performed at Lessee’s expense, subject to Section 6.7 below. Except to the extent arising as a result of the negligence of Lessor or its agents, contractors or employees, Lessor shall not be responsible for damage or personal injury caused by any defects or other conditions, or the consequences thereof or for any damage to Lessee’s personal property or fixtures in the Premises, including without limitation damage by water leakage, seepage or water discharge from a sprinkler system. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall take good care of the Premises, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all Building Service Equipment therein or thereof, fixtures, and improvements, and will put, keep and maintain the same in good and safe order and condition, and make all repairs, including all necessary replacements, renewals, alterations and additions, therein and thereon, non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary, and unforeseen and foreseen, necessary to keep the same in good and safe order and condition, howsoever the necessity or desirability therefor may occur, and whether or not necessitated by wear, tear, obsolescence or defects, latent or otherwise. All repairs, as aforesaid, made by Lessee shall be functionally equivalent in quality and class to the original work.

4.9 Utilities. The cost of utilities (other than electricity which is addressed in Section 4.10 below) required in connection with the use or operation of the Premises such as, but not limited to, water, steam, heat, gas, sewers, and sanitary sewers is payable by Lessee and separately metered, if practicable, otherwise equitably prorated based on usage as reasonably determined by Lessor.

(a) Lessor shall furnish the electric energy that Lessee reasonably requires in the Premises in amounts at least equal to what the existing electric infrastructure supplies to the Premises. Lessee shall at all times comply with the rules, regulations, terms and conditions applicable to service, equipment, wiring and requirements of the public utility supplying electricity to the Building. Unless caused by Lessor’s negligence or willful misconduct, Lessor shall not be liable in any way to Lessee for any interruption or failure of or defect in the supply or character of electric energy furnished to the Premises or for any loss, damage or expense Lessee may sustain if either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or is no longer suitable for Lessee's requirements, whether by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building with electricity or for any other reason.

(b) (i) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent in each instance, connect any fixtures, machinery, appliances or equipment to the Building electric distribution system or make any alteration or addition to Lessee's machinery, appliances or equipment, or the electric system of the Premises, if the effect thereof would be to increase the electrical load in the Premises over the existing capacity of the system on the Commencement Date. Should Lessor grant such consent, all additional risers or other equipment required therefor shall be provided by Lessor and the cost thereof shall be paid by Lessee upon Lessor’s demand.

(ii) Lessee’s consumption of electricity shall, if separately metered, be measured by one or more submeters or in the absence of submeters as reasonably determined by Lessor.

(iii) Lessee agrees to purchase electricity from Lessor at terms and rates equal to “Lessor’s Electricity Cost” (as such term is defined below). Lessor may at any time (but not more often than once per month) render bills for electricity to Lessee in accordance with the foregoing provision, and Lessee shall pay all amounts shown on said bills to Lessor, as additional rent, within thirty (30) days following the date that such bills shall have been rendered.

(iv) The term “Lessor’s Electricity Cost” shall mean the actual cost (based upon cost per kilowatt hour and cost per kilowatt demand, by time of day, if applicable, or other applicable billing method), to Lessor of purchasing electricity for the Building, including fuel adjustment charges (as determined for each month of the relevant period), rate adjustment charges, sales tax, and/or any other factors used by the public utility furnishing electric service to the Building (the “Public Utility”) in computing its charges to Lessor, applied to the kilowatt hours of electricity and kilowatts of demand purchased by Lessor during a given period.

(v) The term “Electricity Additional Rent” shall mean all amounts computed in accordance with Subsection (iii) above.

(vi) If at any time during the Term the electric rate charged by the Public Utility (the “Electric Rate”) shall be increased by the Public Utility, then, effective as of the date of each such increase in the Electric Rate, the Electricity Additional Rent shall be increased in proportion to such change in the Electric Rate. Lessee acknowledges that it is anticipated that electric rates, charges, fees and/or other costs, as well as methods of or rules on billing, may be changed by virtue of time-of-day rates or other methods of billing imposed by the Public Utility, and that references in this Section 4.10 to changes in the Electric Rate are intended to include any and all such changes.

(c) Lessor reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric energy to the Premises at any time upon not less than ninety (90) days notice to Lessee provided that an alternate source of electricity is available. If Lessor exercises such right of termination, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except only that, from and after the effective date of such discontinuance, Lessor shall not be obligated to furnish electric energy to Lessee and Lessor at Lessor’s expense shall perform all work necessary to permit Lessee to obtain electric energy direct from the public utility company, including installation of a separate meter and changes in panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment.

(d) If any tax is imposed upon Lessor with respect to electrical energy furnished as a service to Lessee by any government authority, Lessee agrees that, where permitted by law or applicable regulations, Lessee's pro rata share of such taxes shall be reimbursed by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.

(e) Lessor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to select any entity or entities which it desires to have as the electrical service provider to the Building (including the Premises).

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.12(c) below, Lessor will operate, manage, equip, light, repair and maintain, or cause to be operated, managed, equipped, lighted, repaired and maintained, the Common Areas for their intended purposes. Lessor reserves the right, at any time and from time to time to make changes, additions, alterations or improvements in and to such Common Areas provided that the same shall not unreasonably interfere with or materially and adversely affect Lessee’s means of ingress or egress to and from the Premises or Lessee’s ability to conduct business at the Premises. Except in the case of emergencies, Lessor agrees that in exercising its rights hereunder, Lessor shall give Lessee notice of any scheduled interruption in services.

(b) Lessee and its officers, employees, agents and invitees, shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with Lessor and all others to whom Lessor has granted or may hereafter grant such rights, but subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Section 4.13, to use the Common Areas. Lessor reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice to Lessee except in an emergency, to close temporarily all or any portions of the Common Areas for any of the following purposes when in Lessor’s reasonable judgment any such closing is necessary or desirable: to make repairs or changes therein or to effect construction, repairs or changes within the Site, to prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, or to protect or preserve persons or property.

(c) Lessor reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to increase, reduce or change the number, type, size, location, elevation, nature and use of any of the Common Areas and any of the Improvements on the Site provided that the same shall not unreasonably interfere with or materially and adversely affect Lessee’s means of ingress or egress to and from the Premises or Lessee’s ability to conduct business at the Premises. Except in the case of emergencies, Lessor agrees that in exercising its rights hereunder, Lessor shall give Lessee notice of any scheduled interruption in services.

4.13 Rules and Regulations. Lessee shall comply with and observe the rules and regulations as Lessor shall from time to time reasonably promulgate for the management and use of the Site in its reasonable discretion, and Lessee shall cause its respective officers, employees, agents, and invitees to comply with and observe such rules and regulations after notice thereof shall be given to Lessee. Lessor shall have the right from time to time to reasonably amend or supplement any rules and regulations theretofore promulgated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to issuing any new or amended rules or regulations, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of such new or amended rule or regulation and the parties shall meet and confer about such rule or regulation and Lessor shall consider in good faith Lessee’s interests and concerns, including without limitation, the impact of such rules or regulations on the use and operations in the Premises, access thereto and the costs and expenses incurred by Lessee to comply therewith. Lessee’s failure to keep and observe all rules and regulations shall constitute a material breach of the terms of this Lease in the manner as if the same were contained herein as covenants. To the extent such rules and regulations are in conflict with the terms of the Lease, the Lease shall govern.

4.14 Parking. Lessee and its officers, agents, and employees shall park their vehicles in the Site on a first-come, first-served basis shared with Lessor and its officers, agents, and employees. Lessee shall, upon notice from Lessor, within five (5) days, furnish Lessor, or its authorized agent, the State automobile license tag number assigned to its automobile or automobiles and the automobiles of all of its officers, agents and employees employed in the Premises. Lessor, after notice to Lessee that Lessee or any of its officers, agents or employees are not parking in said designated parking areas after the second (2nd) occasion that an automobile of Lessee is parked outside a designated area within any calendar year, may at its option, in addition to any other remedies it may have, tow away such vehicles at Lessee’s expense. Lessee shall not at any time park, or permit the parking of any trucks or any delivery vehicles in the parking area, and Lessor hereby reserves the exclusive right with respect to the use of the Common Areas for advertising purposes. Lessee shall require all trucks or other vehicles serving Lessee to use the service area for the Building and Premises. Lessee shall cause all vehicles servicing Lessee to be promptly loaded or unloaded and removed; all such trucks owned or operated by, in behalf of, or servicing, Lessee, shall be compelled by Lessee to comply in all respects with the rules and regulations governing use of truck access, parking, loading and unloading facilities, and permissible hours and places therefor, as the same may be from time to time modified or amended by Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion; and any breach thereof or failure to comply therewith shall be deemed for all purposes of this Lease to be a breach of or failure to comply with such rules and regulations by Lessee. Lessor agrees that any rules and regulations adopted and relating to parking shall also be applicable to Lessor’s officers, agents and employees.

4.15 Cafeteria. Subject to the rules and regulations established by Lessor from time to time and applicable to all users thereof, Lessee’s employees shall have the right to use the cafeteria located in the Building (“Cafeteria”) and to pay the established charges for items made available at the Cafeteria.

4.16 Alterations, Names and Signs. (a) During the Term of this Lease, Lessor’s consent to any non-structural construction, alterations, renovations, additions, or repairs to the Premises (the "Alterations") shall not be required, other than with respect to Alterations that affect structural components or any of the base building mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems and provided that such Alterations are intended to support the Permitted Uses set forth above. Lessee shall submit to Lessor, complete and appropriate plans, drawings and specifications regarding all Alterations which Lessee desires for the Premises. In the event Lessor objects to any such Alterations that requires Lessor’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Lessor must do so in writing within fifteen (15) business days from the date on which such plans, drawings and specifications are submitted to Lessor. If Lessor shall fail to approve or disapprove Lessee’s plans or any part thereof within such fifteen (15) business day period and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after Lessor receives a written notice from Lessee, which notice shall contain a legend in not less than 14 point font bold upper case letters as follows: “THIS IS A TIME SENSITIVE NOTICE AND LESSOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO WAIVE ITS RIGHTS TO RESPOND IF IT FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.16 OF THE LEASE”, then Lessor shall be deemed to have approved such plans and specifications. Promptly after completion of any Alterations, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor final as-built plans showing such changes. Lessee shall not have the right to designate suitable names for the Improvements by which the same shall be generally known, and shall not have the right to install and maintain signs or insignias on the Premises, without Lessor’s prior written consent and subject to the same complying with all Requirements.

(b) Lessee shall obtain (and furnish copies to Lessor of) all necessary government permits and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of all Alterations and for final approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause all Alterations to be performed in compliance therewith, and in compliance with all Laws and with the plans and specifications approved, or deemed approved, by Landlord.

(c) Throughout the performance of Alterations, Lessee shall carry, or cause contractors to carry insurance as outlined in Article VI.

(d) At or before the expiration of the Term, or within 30 days after any earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee, at Lessee’s expense, shall remove all movable partitions, business and trade fixtures, business equipment, and all furniture, furnishings and other articles of movable personal property owned by Lessee and any Alterations that Lessor indicates in its initial consent to Lessee will be required to be removed upon the expiration of the Term (provided that Lessor may only require removal of Alterations that are not customary for comparable industrial properties and that will require an unusual expense to remove and restore the condition existing prior to its installation) and Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises or the Building resulting from any installation and/or removal of such property. Any items of such property which remain in the Premises after the expiration date, or more than thirty (30) days after an earlier termination of this Lease, may, at the option of Lessor, be deemed to have been abandoned, and may be retained by Lessor as Lessor’s property or disposed of by Lessor, without accountability, in such manner as Lessor shall reasonably determine, at Lessee’s expense.

5.1 Payment of Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay its proportionate share of Property Taxes at least thirty (30) days before their due date or the date required by Lessor’s lender, which shall be for the account of the Lessor before they become delinquent or subject to penalty interest subject, however, to the right of Lessor to contest any such Property Tax and to withhold payment of such contested Property Tax to the extent permitted therein. For the purposes of this Lease, Lessee’s proportionate share of Property Taxes is deemed to be [36.7%] of the Property Taxes.

5.2 Property Taxes Payable in Installments. If by law any Property Tax is payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in installments, Lessee may, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance thereof, pay the same, and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance thereof in installments as each installment becomes due and payable, but in any event before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for nonpayment of any installment or interest.

5.3 Exclusions, Substitute/Additional Taxes. Nothing in this Lease contained shall require Lessee to pay any franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax of Lessor, or any income, excess profits or revenue tax or any other tax, assessment, charge or levy upon the income of Lessor, except a tax levied on the Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease (as distinguished from an income tax on the general income of Lessor).

6.1 Insurance Required. Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, throughout the Term of this Lease, for the mutual benefit of Lessor and Lessee, maintain the following kinds and amounts of insurance:

(a) Replacement cost property insurance against all risks of direct physical loss to Lessee’s improvements, personal property and trade fixtures any time whether or not Lessee is conducting on site renovation or construction during the Term hereof by or from any peril not expressly excluded under the standard form of “all risk” fire and extended coverage policy then in use in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of Lessee’s personal property, trade fixtures and improvements, whether under construction or completed, such insurance is to be in the form of “all risk” property insurance together with the following described additional insurance, if, or to the extent, it is not provided under the “all risk” insurance described above:

(i) with respect to any Building Service Equipment required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, containing a boiler or pressure vessels, broad form general boiler and machinery insurance against loss or damage, including liability for personal injury or death and for property damage, from explosion, rupture or bursting of steam boilers, steam pipes, or the breakdown thereof in such amounts as reasonably requested by Lessor;

(ii) flood insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, if the area in which the Land is situated is designated a “flood prone” or “flood risk” area, as defined in said act;

(iii) all risk policy shall include coverage for the perils of wind and earthquake for limits at least equal to the replacement value of the property, if and to the extent required by prudent risk management custom and practice in the area in which the Premises are located; and

(i) commercial general liability against claims for bodily injury, personal injury or death or damage to property occurring upon or in the Premises, or the elevators therein, such insurance to cover occurrences (as distinguished from claims made) during the Term of this Lease and to afford protection to the limit of not less than Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) per occurrence. The limits can be maintained with any combination of primary and umbrella / excess liability insurance coverage;

(ii) Workers’ Compensation Insurance, in the usual form, insuring against loss or damage resulting from any incident or casualty within the purview of the Puerto Rico Workers’ Compensation Law or similar thereto; and

(iii) Automobile liability coverage, including owned, non-owned and hired automobiles, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage.

If in Lessor’s reasonable judgment there is a need for additional or different types of insurance, Lessee shall obtain upon Lessor’s reasonable request the insurance at Lessee’s sole expense, it being understood that any such additional insurance will also apply to Lessor.

6.2 Acceptable Insurers, Evidence of Premium Payment. All insurance provided for in this Article VII shall be affected under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers licensed by the Puerto Rico Insurance Commissioner (if required by applicable legal and insurance regulatory requirements) and reasonably acceptable to Lessor.

6.3 Insured Parties. All policies of insurance specified in Section 6.1(b)(i) shall designate Lessee as the named insured thereunder, and Lessor and each Lessor Affiliate and any Fee Mortgagee, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers and employees, as additional insureds (whether provided with the policy coverage form or endorsement).

6.4 Required Provisions. Each insurer shall have an A.M. Best’s rating of A-V. After the Commencement Date, within ten 10 business days following a request from Lessor sent by email to RiskManagement@haemonetics.com, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates of such insurance.

6.7 Mutual Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Whenever (i) any loss, cost, damage or expense resulting from fire, explosion or any other casualty or occurrence is incurred by either of the parties to this Lease in connection with the Premises or the Building, and (ii) such party is then covered in whole or in part by insurance with respect to such loss, cost, damage or expense, or is required to carry such insurance hereunder, then the party so insured thereby releases the other party from any liability it may have on account of such loss, cost, damage or expense to the extent of any amount recovered by reason of such insurance and waives any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof. The parties hereto agree that any and all such insurance policies required to be carried by either shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation clause (or waiver of transfer of rights of recovery clause), substantially as follows: “The insurer shall waive any right of recovery against the other party in connection with any such loss or damage, as agreed to in a written contract executed prior to a loss or damage.”

(a) Lessor shall maintain at all times during the Term “all risk” property insurance covering the Building for the full replacement value thereof (exclusive of the costs of foundations, excavations and footings) including demolition, debris removal and increased cost of construction, against loss or damage by perils customarily included under standard “all-risk” policies.

(i) commercial general liability against claims for bodily injury, personal injury or death or damage to property occurring upon or in the Premises, or the elevators therein, such insurance to cover occurrences (as distinguished from claims made) during the Term of this Lease and to afford protection to the limit of not less than Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) per occurrence and in the annual aggregate. The limits can be maintained with any combination of primary and umbrella/excess liability insurance coverage;

(c) All of the insurance specified in Section 6.8(b)(i) shall designate Lessor as the named insured thereunder, and Lessee and its shareholders, directors, officers and employees, as additional insureds

7.1 Damages and Restoration. Lessee shall give prompt notice to Lessor in case of any fire or other damage to the Premises. If the Premises or any portion of the Building that materially and adversely affects Lessee’s access to or use of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and (a) such casualty cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of such casualty, or (b) the loss shall not be covered by insurance required to be carried by Lessor hereunder or shall be insufficient to pay for the repair or restoration work, then in any such event either party may terminate this Lease by notice to the other given within 90 days after such event, and upon the date specified in such notice, which shall not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the giving of said notice, this Lease shall terminate. Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any casualty affecting the Premises, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a written estimate from a reputable contractor, architect or engineer designated by Lessor as to the probable length of time that will be necessary to substantially complete such restoration. If any damage by fire or other casualty shall render the Premises untenantable, in whole or in part, a proportionate abatement of the Rent based upon the Floor Space rendered untenantable shall be allowed from the date when the damage occurred until completion of the repair or restoration work by Lessor as hereinafter provided, or, in the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, until said date of termination. If this Lease shall not be terminated after damage by fire or other casualty, Lessor shall, after receipt of and to the extent of the insurance proceeds for such damage, proceed with the restoration of the Premises and the Building to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the damage with such changes as Lessor may desire or be required by any Requirements to make, except for Lessee’s Alterations, improvements, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, removable floor coverings, equipment, signs and all other property, and Lessee shall promptly proceed with the restoration or replacement of its Alterations, improvements, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, removable floor coverings, equipment, signs and all other property of Lessee and decorations in and around the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the actual duration of Lessor’s restoration exceeds the original estimate for restoration as provided by Lessor to Lessee above by more than sixty (60) days other than by reason of force majeure events, then Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time following the expiration of such 60-day period as long as such restoration has not been completed prior to Lessee’s submission of such termination notice to Lessor.

Lessee hereby waives any and all benefits or rights which Lessee might become entitled to by reason of any statute or law that may be in effect at the time of the occurrence of any such damage or destruction under which a lease is automatically terminated or a Lessee is given the right to terminate a lease upon such an occurrence and Lessee agrees that the provisions of this section shall govern and control in lieu of the provisions thereof.

8.1 Assignments and Other Transfers. Lessee shall not suffer, permit or allow to occur by operation of law any transfer of, or the attachment of any lien upon, all or any of the rights of Lessee under this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby demised or any interest thereunder, and Lessee shall not voluntarily sell, transfer, convey, license, encumber, sublet, or assign any of Lessee’s rights under this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby demised or any interest therein nor shall the Premises be used or occupied by any person or entity other than Lessee, and Lessee shall not contract to do any of the foregoing (any such sale, transfer, conveyance, license, encumbrance, assignment or agreement to do any of the foregoing being herein referred to as a “Lease Transfer”), without Lessor’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, so long as the successor in such Lease Transfer shall use the Premises in accordance with the Permitted Uses and Lessee complies with the other provisions of this Article VIII. The dissolution or direct or indirect transfer of control of Lessee (however accomplished including, by way of example, transfers of interests in Lessee, issuance of additional stock, redemption of stock, stock voting agreement, or change in classes of stock) shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease regardless of whether the transfer is made in one or more transactions, or whether one or more persons or entities hold the controlling interest prior to the transfer or afterwards (except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any transfer of control by reason of transfer of stock on a recognized United States or foreign securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall not be deemed an assignment of this Lease). Any such Lease Transfer prohibited by the preceding sentences need not be recognized by Lessor as being effective and shall constitute an Event of a Default hereunder.

8.2 Permitted Assignments and Subleases. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, and so long as Lessee is not then in default of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Lessee shall have the right, without Lessor's approval, to assign this Lease or sublet all of the Premises to (a) an Affiliate of Lessee, or (b) to an entity into or with which Lessee is merged or consolidated, or to which all or substantially all of Lessee’s stock or assets are transferred, provided that any such successor shall use the Premises in accordance with the Permitted Uses, has a net worth equal to the greater of Lessee’s net worth as of the date hereof or the date of the assignment or sublet and assumes by written instrument all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease. Lessee shall give Lessor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any such transaction, which notice shall include a description of the relationship between Lessee and the transferee or sublessee sufficient to enable Lessor to determine whether such transferee or sublessee satisfies the foregoing requirements. Lessee shall, notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, remain fully liable for performance of its obligations under the terms of this Lease. In the event an Affiliate of Lessee shall at any time after the date of an assignment or sublease no longer be an Affiliate of Lessee, then such event shall constitute a Lease Transfer for the purposes hereof and shall be subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.

8.3 Request to Transfer. If Lessee desires to exercise its right to effect a Lease Transfer, Lessee shall submit in writing to Lessor at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed effective date of the Lease Transfer a notice of intent to perform a Lease Transfer (“Request to Transfer”). The Request to Transfer must contain, or be accompanied with, each of the following: (a) The name of the proposed transferee including details of the legal and beneficial ownership structure of transferee, (b) a statement of the nature of the Lease Transfer (e.g., a sublease or assignment) and of any related transactions (e.g., details of any sale of the business, details of a merger and copies of operative documents involved in the related transactions), (c) a description of the proposed transferee’s business to be conducted upon the Premises, (d) reasonable details of the terms and provisions of the proposed Lease Transfer and the proposed Lease Transfer date (which shall be no later than ninety (90) days after Lessor’s receipt of the Request to Transfer), (e) a current, audited financial statement for the proposed transferee, (f) statements of income or profit and loss of the proposed transferee for a period of no less than three (3) years prior to the date Lessor receives the Request to Transfer, and (g) an executed copy of the assignment or subletting instrument(s). If the foregoing information is not sufficient, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, for Lessor to determine which of Lessor’s rights to exercise under this Article 8, Lessor shall promptly request, and Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessor, other and/or additional pertinent and reasonable information concerning the proposed Lease Transfer and the proposed transferee as Lessor shall reasonably require to make such determination.

8.4 Standards for Consent. In determining whether to grant or withhold its consent to a proposed Lease Transfer, Lessor may consider any reasonable factor. Without limiting the conditions that may be construed as a reasonable factor, it is deemed reasonable that Lessee demonstrate to Lessor’s reasonable satisfaction each of the following: (a) The proposed transferee has sufficient financial worth to fully and timely discharge all of the then remaining obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (b) the proposed transferee is of sound business reputation, (c) the form of the proposed assignment or sublease is satisfactory to Lessor, (d) Lessee has reimbursed Lessor for out of pocket, third party costs incurred by Lessor in connection with the assignment or sublease, including without limitation, the reasonable costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and reasonable legal costs incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent.

Furthermore, if Lessee is then in default of any obligation of Lessee under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, it shall be reasonable for Lessor to elect, in its sole discretion, to deny its consent to such proposed Lease Transfer so long as such default exists.

(a) If Lessor consents to a proposed assignment or sublease and Lessee fails to complete the assignment or sublease to which Lessor consented within 90 days after the giving of such consent, then Lessee shall again comply with this Article 8 before assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises. Lessor’s consent to a transfer shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor’s right not to consent to a subsequent transfer.

(b) If this Lease is assigned, whether or not it is in violation of this Lease, Lessor may collect rent from the assignee. If the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Lessee, whether or not it is in violation of this Lease, Lessor may, after default by Lessee, and expiration of Lessee’s time to cure such default, collect rent from such sublessee or occupant. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Article 8 or the acceptance of the assignee, sublessee or occupant as lessee or a release of Lessee from the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease.

(c) No assignment or transfer shall be effective until the assignee delivers to Lessor (i) reasonable evidence that assignee, as Lessee hereunder, has complied with the requirements of this Article 8 and (ii) an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor whereby the assignee assumes Lessee’s obligations under this Lease from and after the date of assignment.

(d) Notwithstanding any assignment, sublease or transfer, whether or not in violation of this Lease, and notwithstanding acceptance of any rent by Lessor from an assignee, sublessee, transferee, or any other party, the original named Lessee and each successor Lessee and any guarantor shall remain fully liable for the payment of the rent and the performance of all of Lessee’s other obligations under this Lease.

(i) No subletting shall be for a term (including renewal options) ending later than 1 day prior to the end of the Lease Term.

(ii) There shall be not more than two occupants of the Building at any one time, whether under a lease or sublease or other arrangement, including Lessor and Lessee.

(iii) No sublessee shall have the right to further assign its interest in a sublease or further sublease its premises.

(iv) No sublease shall be valid until there has been delivered to Lessor an executed counterpart of such sublease, and no sublessee may take possession of the Premises unless there has been delivered to Lessor (x) an executed counterpart of such sublease and (y) there is in full force and effect a certificate of insurance as required under this Lease naming Lessor as additional insured.

(v) A sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease, and that in the event of termination, reentry or dispossession by Lessor under this Lease, Lessor may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Lessee, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such sublessee shall, at Lessor’s option, attorn to Lessor pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Lessor shall not be liable for, subject to or bound by any item of the type that a successor lessor is not so liable for.

8.6 Recapture Right. In addition to withholding or granting consent with respect to any proposed Lease Transfer but excluding any transfer permitted under Section 8.2 without Lessor’s consent, Lessor shall have the right, to be exercised in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request for consent, to terminate this Lease in the event of a proposed assignment or a proposed sublease of the entire Premises for the remainder of the Term. If Lessor exercises said recapture right, this Lease shall terminate as of the date which is the later of (a) sixty (60) days after the date of Lessor’s election, and (b) the proposed effective date of such Transfer, as if such date were the last day of the Term of this Lease.

9.1 Total Taking. If, during the Term of this Lease, the entire Building or Premises shall be taken by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or such a substantial portion thereof shall be taken, that the portion thereof not so taken cannot be repaired or reconstructed as to constitute a complete project capable of being operated for the purposes specified in Section 4.1 in substantially the same manner as the same were being operated immediately prior to such taking (either event being herein referred to as a “Total Taking”), this Lease shall terminate on the date of vesting of title in the condemnor under such eminent domain proceedings and all Rent and other sums payable by Lessee hereunder shall be prorated to the date of such vesting, and thereafter Lessee shall be relieved of all obligations to pay the Rent and to otherwise perform its covenants and obligations under this Lease.

9.2 Partial Taking. If, during the Term of this Lease, less than the entire Premises shall be taken by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, which does not result in a Total Taking, this Lease shall not terminate but shall continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the Term subject to the provisions hereof without any reduction or abatement of Rent. If more than forty percent (40%) of the of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain or if there is a taking to any portion of the Building which prevents access to the Premises, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other party.

9.3 Other Governmental Action. In the event of any governmental action not resulting in the taking of any portion of the Premises but creating a right to compensation therefor, such as, but not limited to, a change of the grade of any street, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without reduction or abatement of any Rent thereafter due and payable. If such governmental action results in any damage to an Improvement located on the Land, Lessor shall be entitled to receive such portion of the proceeds (or all of the proceeds, if required for the purpose) estimated to be necessary to remedy any such damage, and Lessor shall, subject to Unavoidable Delays, forthwith complete all construction necessary to so remedy such damage. Any balance remaining from such proceeds, or if no damage is involved, then all of such proceeds shall be divided between Lessor and Lessee as their respective interests may appear.

9.4 Compensation. All compensation awarded for any taking of the Premises or any interest in the Premises shall belong to and be the property of Lessor, Lessee hereby assigning to Lessor all rights with respect thereto; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prevent Lessee from applying for reimbursement from the condemning authority (if permitted by law) for Lessee’s remaining leasehold interest, moving expenses, or the expense of removal of Lessee's trade fixtures and Alterations, but if and only if such action shall not reduce the amount of the award or other compensation otherwise recoverable from the condemning authority by Lessor and/or the owner of the fee simple estate in the Premises.

9.5 Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to whether a taking of less than the entire Premises constitutes a Total Taking, or in the event that the court having jurisdiction of the eminent domain proceedings shall fail to make separate awards and judgments with respect to the respective interests of Lessor and Lessee in the Premises and there is a dispute respecting the proper allocation of awards payable under the circumstances specified in Article IX which, in each instance, has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the amount of the total award is finally determined, then any such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

10.1 Inspections and Work by Lessor. Lessee shall permit Lessor and its agents or representatives to enter the Premises at all reasonable times on reasonable prior notice for the purpose of (i) inspecting the same and (ii) making any necessary repairs thereto and performing any work therein that may be necessary by reason of Lessee’s failure to make such repairs or perform such work within applicable notice and cure periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may enter the Premises at any time without notice to Lessee if required in the event of an emergency. Nothing in this Section 10.1 or elsewhere in this Lease shall imply any duty upon the part of Lessor to do any such work, and performance thereof by Lessor shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default in failing to perform the same.

10.2 Showing Premises. Lessor and its agents or representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times during usual business hours for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers or Fee Mortgagees thereof, and, at any time during usual business hours within six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, for the purpose of showing the same to prospective lessees.

11.1 Condition of Premises and of Title. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Premises, the title thereto, the possession and occupancy thereof, the streets and structures adjoining the same, any surface and any subsurface conditions thereof, and the present uses and non-uses thereof, have been examined by Lessee and that Lessee accepts the same in the condition or state in which they now are, or any of them now is, without representation, covenant or warranty, express or implied, in fact or in law, by Lessor, except as otherwise specified in Section 11.3.

11.2 Lessee Covenant Against Liens. Lessee shall not create or allow to remain, and shall discharge, any lien, encumbrance or charge (levied or claimed on account of any Property Tax or any mechanic’s, laborer’s, materialman’s or property manager’s lien, or any broker’s lien, conditional sale, title retention agreement or chattel mortgage, or otherwise) which might be or become a lien, encumbrance or charge upon the Premises or any part thereof or the income therefrom. Nothing in this Lease contained shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Lessor, express or implied by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement, alteration to or repair of the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Lessee any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services including, but not limited to, property management services and real estate brokerage services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against the Premises or any part thereof. Notice is hereby given that Lessor shall not be liable for any work performed or to be performed at the Premises for Lessee, or any materials or services furnished or to be furnished at or with respect to the Premises for Lessee, upon credit, and that no mechanic’s or other lien for such work or materials or services shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of Lessor in and to the Premises. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any mechanic’s, laborer’s, materialman’s, property manager’s, or real estate broker’s lien shall be filed or asserted against the Premise or any part thereof, Lessee shall cause the same to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after Notice of the filing thereof.

11.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants and agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, that during the Term hereof and so long as Lessee or those claiming under Lessee are not in default hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Lessee and those so claiming under Lessee shall lawfully, peacefully and quietly have, hold, use, occupy, possess and enjoy the Premises, without hindrance, or molestation by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor, subject however to all the matters set forth in this Lease.

11.4 Encumbrances of Premises by Lessor. Nothing in this Lease contained shall preclude Lessor, at any time and from time to time, from mortgaging its interest in the Premises, or renewing, modifying, consolidating, replacing or extending any such mortgage. Any and all proceeds of any such financing or refinancing shall belong solely to Lessor, and Lessee shall have no rights whatever with respect to such proceeds.

11.5 Transfers of Premises by Lessor. In the event of any transfer or transfers of the Premises, the then grantor shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer and conveyance of all liability, as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Lessor contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed.

11.6 No Merger of Estates. There shall be no merger of this Lease, or of the leasehold estate created by this Lease, with the fee simple in the Premises by reason of the fact that this Lease, the leasehold estate created by this Lease, or any interest in this Lease or in any such leasehold estate, may be held, directly or indirectly, by or for the account of any Person who shall own the fee simple in the Premises or any interest therein, and no such merger shall occur unless and until all Persons at the time having an interest in the fee simple in the Premises and all Persons having an interest in this Lease, or in the leasehold estate created by this Lease, shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly record the same

11.7 Subordination. Lessee shall subordinate its rights under this Lease to the lien of any Fee Mortgage, ground lease or any other lien resulting from any method of financing or refinancing now or in the future existing against all or part of the Premises, and to any and all renewals, modifications, replacements, consolidations and extensions of the same provided and on condition that Lessee receives an agreement from such Fee Mortgagee or ground lessor in commercially reasonable form in which Fee Mortgagee or ground lessor agrees to recognize Lessee’s rights under this Lease and its interest in the Premises. In the event of any foreclosure, sale, or other event causing Lessor's ownership of the Premises to terminate, (i) Lessee shall attorn to the new owner and shall recognize the new owner as Lessee's lessor/landlord under this Lease; and (ii) Lessee shall, upon request of the new owner, execute and deliver any instrument reasonably requested by the new owner to evidence this attornment.

12.1 Possession. The right of possession of the Premises shall vest in Lessee on the Commencement Date.

12.2 Surrender at End of Term. Upon the termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time, forfeiture, or otherwise, or upon termination of Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises, whether this Lease be terminated or not, Lessee shall, without Notice or demand therefor, surrender and deliver up to Lessor the Premises in good order condition and repair required to be maintained during the Term, free and clear of all lettings and occupancies, and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those created by Lessor or existing on the date hereof, without any payment or allowance whatever by Lessor on account of or for any Improvements erected or maintained on the Land at the time of the surrender.

12.3 Personal Property of Lessee. Any personal property of Lessee which shall remain in the Improvements for more than thirty days after the termination of this Lease and the removal of Lessee from the Improvements, may, at the option of Lessor be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee and may either be retained by Lessor as its property or be disposed of, without accountability, in such manner as Lessor may see fit. Lessor shall not be responsible for any loss or damage occurring to any property owned by Lessee that is abandoned by Lessee. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any costs incurred by Lessor in disposing of such property in the event Lessor does not elect to retain it as its property.

12.4 Holding Over. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.2, Lessee, or anyone in possession of the Premises by, through, or under Lessee, remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time or earlier termination as herein specified, such occupancy, shall not in any manner extend the Term or renew this Lease nor in any manner affect or impair Lessor’s other rights and remedies hereunder but such occupancy shall, at Lessor’s election, constitute a tenancy at the sufferance of Lessor upon the same terms and conditions as herein specified except that the monthly Rent during such tenancy shall be an amount equal to 150% of fair market rent determined by a qualified expert selected by Lessor for each month or part thereof such holdover continues, which the parties acknowledge to be a reasonable liquidated amount and not a penalty. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee shall be responsible for any and all other damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages) which Lessor may sustain by reason of Lessee’s holdover for more than thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this lease.

13.1 Notices of and Rights to Cure Defaults. If Lessee defaults in performing or observing any of the covenants herein specified to be performed or observed by Lessee, Lessor may notify Lessee of such default. Lessee shall have the right to cure any default in making a payment of Rent required to be made hereunder (including, but not limited to, payments of Property Taxes, premiums for insurance required hereunder, and amounts required to discharge and release any liens asserted against the Premises or Lessor’s interest therein, collectively referred to as a “Monetary Default”) by tendering such payment to the party entitled thereto together with the interest, if any, due in connection therewith within ten (10) business days after such Notice, and shall have the right to cure any other default by doing so within thirty (30) days after such Notice, provided, however, that if any such other default which, by reason of the nature thereof or Unavoidable Delays, cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Lessee may cure the same if Lessee commences such cure within thirty (30) days after such Notice and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

13.2 Lessor’s Right to Terminate. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lessor, at any time thereafter, may at its option give Notice to Lessee stating that this Lease and the Term hereby demised shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such Notice, and upon the date specified in such Notice, this Lease and the Term hereby demised, and all rights of the Lessee under this Lease shall expire and terminate as if that date were the date herein definitely fixed for the termination of the stated Term of this Lease, and Lessee shall quit and surrender the Premises but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

13.3 Lessor’s Right of Re-entry. If any Event of Default shall occur Lessor may terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises by Notice of such election to Lessee, and mere retention of possession thereafter by Lessee shall constitute a forcible detainer of the Premises. Upon termination of Lessee’s right to possession, as aforesaid, whether this Lease be terminated or not, Lessee agrees to surrender possession of the Premises immediately, without the receipt of any demand for rent, Notice to quit or demand for possession of the Premises whatsoever (except as otherwise set forth herein) and hereby grants to Lessor full, free and complete license to enter into and upon the Premises, or any part thereof, to take possession thereof, with or without process of law (if then permitted under the law), without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and to expel and remove Lessee or any other Person who may be occupying the Premises, or any part thereof. Lessor may use such force in and about expelling and removing Lessee and said other Persons as may reasonably be necessary, and Lessor may further repossess itself of the Premises as of its former estate, but said entry and repossession of the Premises shall not constitute a trespass or forcible entry or detainer, nor shall it cause a forfeiture or cancellation of Rents or other sums due or to become due during the Term hereof, nor act as a waiver of any covenant, agreement or promise herein contained to be performed by Lessee.

13.4 Re-Letting. If Lessor shall so re-enter the Premises, as aforesaid, Lessor may, at its option, repair and alter the Premises in such manner as to Lessor may seem necessary or advisable, and, or let or relet the Premises or any parts thereof for the whole or any part of what would be the balance of the Term if the same were to expire by lapse of time, or for a longer period, in Lessor’s name or as agent of Lessee, and out of any rent connected with or received as a result of such letting or reletting Lessor shall, first, pay to itself the cost and expense of retaking, repossessing, repairing and, or altering the Premises, and the cost and expense of removing all persons and property therefrom, including, but not limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals engaged by Lessor in connection therewith; second, pay to itself the cost and expense sustained in securing any new Lessees, and, if Lessor shall maintain and operate the Premises, the cost and expense of operating and maintaining the Premises; and, third, pay to itself any balance remaining on account of the liability of Lessee to Lessor. No re-entry by Lessor whether had or taken under summary proceedings or otherwise, shall absolve or discharge Lessee from liability hereunder. Lessor shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due on any such reletting. Should any rent so collected by Lessor after the aforementioned payments be insufficient to fully pay to Lessor a sum equal to all such Rent and other payments and charges reserved herein, the deficiency shall be paid by Lessee promptly after having billed therefor by Lessor.

13.5 Lump Sum Damages. If this Lease shall be terminated in accordance with Article XIII Lessor shall be entitled to recover immediately from Lessee, and Lessee shall pay, all the amounts of Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such Termination Date, as well as all other additional sums payable by the Lessee, or for which Lessee is liable or in respect of which Lessee has agreed to indemnify Lessor under any of the provisions of this Lease, which may be then owing and unpaid. Lessor may also recover all costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lessor in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder. Lessor shall also be entitled to recover and Lessee shall pay on demand, as liquidated damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, a lump sum amount equal to the amount by which (i) the Rent that would otherwise be payable hereunder owing from the date of such termination through the end of the then Term, exceeds (ii) the fair rental value of the Premises for the same period (after deducting from such fair rental value the costs and expenses incurred and Property Taxes and insurance and other expenses incurred during the time needed to relet the Premises. Should the fair rental value of the Premises, after deduction of all the aforesaid anticipated expenses of reletting, for the balance of the then Term, exceed the value of the Rent provided to be paid by Lessee for the balance of the Term, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay to Lessee the excess of any part thereof or to credit such excess or any part thereof against any other sums or damages for which Lessee may be liable to Lessor.

13.6 Suits by Lessor. Any suit or suits for the recovery of such deficiency as described above or damages, or for a sum equal to any installment or installments of Rent, Property Taxes and other charges hereunder, may be brought by Lessor, from time to time at Lessor’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Lessor to await the date whereon this Lease or the Term would have expired by limitation had there been no such default by Lessee or termination.

13.7 Payments after Termination. No receipt of monies by Lessor from Lessee after termination of this Lease, or after the giving of any Notice of termination of this Lease, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease or affect any Notice theretofore given to Lessee, or operate as a waiver of the right of Lessor to enforce the payment of Rent and other sum or sums of money and other charges herein reserved and agreed to be paid by Lessee then due or thereafter falling due, or operate as a waiver of the right of Lessor to recover possession of the Premises, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, it being agreed that after the service of Notice to terminate this Lease or the commencement of suit or summary proceedings, or after final order or judgment for the possession of said premises, Lessor may demand, receive and collect any monies due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such Notice, proceeding, order, suit or judgment, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, all such monies collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupation of said Premises, or at the election of Lessor, on account of Lessee’s liability hereunder.

13.8 Lessee Waivers. Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all right of redemption provided by any law or statute now in force or hereafter enacted or otherwise, or re-entry or repossession or to restore the operation of this Lease in case Lessee shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by writ of any court or judge or in case of re-entry or repossession by Lessor or in case of any expiration or termination of this Lease, and Lessor and Lessee waive and will waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Lessor and Lessee, Lessee’s use or occupancy of said premises, or any claim of injury or damage. The terms “enter”, “re-enter”, “entry” or “re-entry”, as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

13.9 No Waivers. No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach or default shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by a party, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the other party. No waiver of any breach or default shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach or default thereof.

13.10 Expenses of Lessor. Lessee shall pay to Lessor all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred by Lessor in successfully enforcing any of the covenants and provisions of this Lease regardless of whether or not any legal action against Lessee is commenced or prosecuted to a final judgment and incurred in any action brought by Lessor against Lessee on account of the provisions hereof, and all such costs, expenses attorneys’ and accountants’ fees may be included in and form a part of any judgment entered in any proceeding brought by Lessor against Lessee on or under this Lease. All of the sums paid or obligations incurred by Lessor as aforesaid with interest at the Lease Interest Rate shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.

13.11 Assignments by Lessee. In the event of a termination of this Lease by reason of default or breach by Lessee hereunder all unexpired insurance premiums, all deposits theretofore made by Lessee with utility companies, all proceeds of Lessee’s insurance payable under its insurance policies and all fuel, if any, in the Premises shall be deemed to be assigned to and transferred to Lessor.

13.14 Injunctive Relief. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by either party of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, the other party shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

15.22 Guaranty. In consideration of Lessor executing this Lease in favor of Lessee, and as an inducement for Lessor to execute this Lease, Haemonetics Corporation (“Guarantor”) has agreed to guaranty the faithful performance by Lessee of each and every covenant of this Lease. The guaranty of Guarantor is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

(a) Provided that (i) this Lease shall not have been terminated, (ii) no Event of Default exists that remains uncured, (iii) Lessee shall occupy the Premises initially leased by Lessee under this Lease and (iv) Lessee shall have demonstrated that Lessee requires additional manufacturing capacity based on Lessee’s customary forecasting for future requirements, Lessee shall have the option (the “Expansion Option”) to lease certain space in the Building as set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto in the order specified therein (the “Expansion Space”).

(b) The term of the Expansion Space shall be coterminous with the Term of the original Premises.

(c) Lessee must exercise the Expansion Option, if at all, by delivering written notice to Lessor of Lessee’s exercise of the Expansion Option (“Expansion Notice”) at least six (6) months but not more than twelve (12) months prior to the date of inclusion of the Expansion Space as part of the Premises leased hereunder as set forth in the Expansion Notice (the “Expansion Inclusion Date”). Lessee must exercise the Expansion Option on or before the date that is two (2) years prior to the end of the Lease Term, provided that if there are then fewer than two years remaining as of the date of the Expansion Notice, Lessee may give such notice if it simultaneously extends the Term for an applicable Renewal Term. Time shall be of the essence with respect to Lessee’s exercise of the Expansion Option and Lessor’s delivery of the Expansion Space. Lessor shall deliver the Expansion Space on or before the Expansion Inclusion Date, in vacant, broom clean condition, with all Building Service Equipment in good operating order and repair, and otherwise in an “as-is” “where-is” condition, and Lessor shall have no obligation to improve the Expansion Space.

(d) If Lessee effectively gives the Expansion Notice, then on the Expansion Inclusion Date, the Expansion Space shall become part of the Premises, without any further act on the part of Lessor or Lessee and upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease applicable to the Premises, except that, from and after the Expansion Inclusion Date:

(i) Base Rent shall be increased by the Fair Market Rent for the Expansion Space as calculated pursuant to Section 15.23(f) below;

(ii) Lessee’s proportionate share of Property Taxes shall be increased by a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of rentable square feet contained in the Expansion Space, and the denominator of which is the total square footage of the Improvements;

(iii) Lessee’s proportionate share of Building Expenses shall be increased by a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of rentable square feet contained in the Expansion Space, and the denominator of which is the total square footage of the Building; and

(iv) Lessee’s proportionate share of General Common Area Expenses shall be increased by a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of rentable square feet contained in the Expansion Space, and the denominator of which is the total square footage of the Improvements.

(e) Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Expansion Space on or before the Expansion Inclusion Date, provided that if Lessor is unable to deliver possession of the Expansion Space to Lessee for any reason on or before the Expansion Inclusion Date, Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee therefor and this Lease shall not in any way be impaired.

(f) “Fair Market Rent” means the annual Rent that a willing lessee would pay and a willing lessor would accept for the Expansion Space, taking into account all relevant factors (including, without limitation, the terms set forth in Section 15.23(d) above). Lessor shall initially determine the Fair Market Rent. If Lessee exercises the Expansion Option and Lessee disputes the Fair Market Rent as determined by Lessor, Lessee shall set forth Lessee’s determination of Fair Market Rent (“Lessee’s Rent Determination”) in a written notice to Lessor (“Lessee’s Rent Notice”), and any such dispute if not resolved between the parties within 30 days thereafter, shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.23(h).

(g) If Lessee shall dispute Lessor’s Fair Market Rent determination and if the final determination of Fair Market Rent shall not be made on or before the Expansion Inclusion Date, Lessee shall pay, as Rent for the Expansion Space, an amount equal to Lessor’s Fair Market Rent determination. If, based on the final determination of Fair Market Rent, the Rent payments made by Lessee for the Expansion Space are greater than the final Fair Market Rent, Lessor shall credit the amount of such excess against future installments of Rent and/or additional charges payable by Lessee under this Lease.

(i) If Lessee timely disputes Lessor’s determination of Fair Market Rent and Lessor and Lessee fail to agree as to the Fair Market Rent within 30 days after the giving of Lessee’s Rent Notice, then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by arbitration in the [City of Fajardo] by a panel of 3 arbitrators, as set forth in this Section. Either Lessor or Lessee may initiate the arbitration process by giving notice to that effect to the other party within 20 days after the giving of Lessee’s Rent Notice, which notice shall include the name and address of the initiating party’s designated arbitrator. Within 30 days after the designation of the initiating party’s arbitrator, the other party shall give notice to the initiating party of the name and address of such other party’s designated arbitrator. If the non-initiating party shall fail to timely appoint an arbitrator, then the initiating party may request the American Arbitration Association (AAA) to appoint an arbitrator on the non-initiating party’s behalf. Such two arbitrators shall have 30 days to appoint a third arbitrator who shall be impartial. If such arbitrators fail to do so, then either Lessor or Lessee may request the AAA to appoint an arbitrator who shall be impartial within 30 days after such request and both parties shall be bound by any appointment so made within such 30 day period. If no such third arbitrator shall have been appointed within such 30 day period, either Lessor or Lessee may apply to the [____ Court, ___ County] to make such appointment. The third arbitrator only shall subscribe and swear to an oath fairly and impartially to determine such dispute.

(ii) Within 7 days after the appointment of the third arbitrator, the three arbitrators will meet (the “Initial Meeting”) and set a hearing date for the arbitration. The hearing shall not exceed two days and shall be scheduled to be held within 60 days after the meeting of the three arbitrators. At the Initial Meeting, Lessor and Lessee may each submit a revised Fair Market Rent determination (each, a “Final Determination”); provided that Lessor’s Final Determination shall not be greater than Lessor’s initial determination of Fair Market Value and Lessee’s Final Determination may not be lower than Lessee’s initial determination of Fair Market Value. If either party fails to submit a Final Determination, then Lessor’s initial determination or Lessee’s initial determination, as applicable, shall constitute such party’s Final Determination.

(iii) The determination of Fair Market Rent by the third arbitrator shall be either the amount set forth in Lessor’s Final Determination or the amount set forth in Lessee’s Final Determination. The third arbitrator may not select any other amount as the Fair Market Rent. The fees and expenses of any arbitration pursuant to this Section shall be borne by the parties equally, but each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator, attorneys and experts and the additional expenses of presenting its own proof. The arbitrators shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of the Lease. Each arbitrator shall have at least 15 years of experience in leasing and/or valuation of properties similar to the Site. After a determination has been made of the Fair Market Rent, the parties shall execute and deliver an instrument setting forth the Fair Market Rent, but the failure to so execute and deliver any such instrument shall not effect the determination of Fair Market Rent.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that to the extent the HDC media manufacturing equipment (“HDC Equipment”) to be built and installed in the Building for the benefit of Lessee is located in a portion of the Expansion Space, that portion of the Expansion Space shall be leased at the Initial Base Rent and the Expansion Inclusion Date shall be the date of the Subsequent Closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement (as referenced in Section 15.25). An Expansion Notice shall not be required in connection with the installation of the HDC Equipment on any portion of the Expansion Space.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed and delivered this Lease as of the date set forth above.

Guarantee (this "Guarantee") dated as of [ ], 2012, made by Haemonetics Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ("Guarantor") in favor of [INSERT NAME OF P ENTITY], a [ ] organized and existing under the laws of [ ] (the "Beneficiary").

[INSERT NAME OF H SUBSIDIARY], a [ ] organized and existing under the laws of [ ] ("[H SUBSIDIARY]") and the Beneficiary have entered into a Lease Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2012 (the "Agreement").¹

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees to the following:

(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Beneficiary, its successors, endorsees and assigns, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual performance of all obligations, and the payment of all amounts payable, from time to time, by [H SUBSIDIARY] under the terms of the Agreement, when and as such amounts shall become due and payable, whether on the due date therefor, upon stated maturity, by acceleration, on demand or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement (all of the foregoing being "Obligations"). In case of the failure of [H SUBSIDIARY] to punctually perform or pay indefeasibly any such amounts, Guarantor hereby agrees to perform, or cause to be performed, or to pay or cause to be paid any such amounts, in full, punctually and indefeasibly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether on the due date therefor, upon stated maturity, by acceleration, upon demand or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

(b) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee constitute a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection and are not in any way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from or enforce against [H SUBSIDIARY] all or any portion of the Obligations or upon any other condition or contingency. Guarantor covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by final, complete, indefeasible and irrevocable payment and performance of the Obligations contained in this Guarantee and the Agreement.

(c) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, irrespective of (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Agreement against [H SUBSIDIARY], (ii) any forbearance or delay in collecting or enforcing any payment or other obligation under the Agreement, (iii) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence, compromise, release or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Agreement, or any obligation or liability of [H SUBSIDIARY], or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect to any such instrument or agreement or any such obligation or liability, (iv) any extension or renewal of, or other change in the time, manner or place of payment, of or in any other term of, any of the Obligations (including any increase in the amount of the Obligations due and payable under the Agreement), (v) the acceptance by Beneficiary of any additional security or any increase, substitution or change therein, (vi) the release by Beneficiary of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, (vii) any failure or omission or delay on the part of the Beneficiary to conform or comply with any term or provision of the Agreement, (viii) any assignment of the Agreement or any subletting of all or any portion of the Premises, (ix) any hold over by [H SUBSIDIARY] beyond the term of the Agreement, (x) the existence of any claim, setoff, counterclaim, defense or other rights which Guarantor may have at any time against the Beneficiary, or any other person or entity, whether in connection with this Guarantee, the Agreement, or any unrelated transaction, or (xi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Guarantee shall not be deemed to enlarge any Obligations of [H SUBSIDIARY] under the Agreement, and all obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be limited in time and scope and in any other manner as [H SUBSIDIARY]’s Obligations are limited by the terms of the Agreement.

¹ A similar guarantee should be put in place with respect to the sublease agreement, to the extent the parties enter into such agreement.

(d) The Guarantor shall not exercise any rights against [H SUBSIDIARY] which it may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment under this Guarantee or otherwise, until all of the Obligations have been paid in full. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee at any time when all of the Obligations have not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary and shall be promptly paid to the Beneficiary to be credited and applied to the Obligations.

(e) Guarantor further agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be reinstated by the Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of [H SUBSIDIARY] or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. Upon such rescission or reinstatement, Guarantor shall, at Guarantor's own expense, promptly do, execute and deliver, and cause any relevant third party to do, execute and deliver, all such acts and instruments as the Beneficiary may require to reinstate this Guarantee.

(f) Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Obligations which accrues under the terms of the Agreement after the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding of or against [H SUBSIDIARY] (or, if interest on any portion of the Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Obligations under the terms of the Agreement if said proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in the Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantor and Beneficiary that the Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee shall be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve [H SUBSIDIARY] of any portion of such Obligations. Guarantor will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Beneficiary, or allow the claim of Beneficiary in respect of any such interest accruing after the date on which such proceeding is commenced.

(g) Guarantor hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance and notice of incurrence of any Obligations by [H SUBSIDIARY], (ii) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, order and notice of any kind in connection with the Agreement and this Guarantee, or (iii) any requirement that the Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest of lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against [H SUBSIDIARY] or any other person or any collateral which may be available to the Beneficiary under the Agreement or under applicable law.

(h) All payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be in the same currency as the Obligations and shall be in full, without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of any tax, deduction or withholding of any kind. If Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment to the Beneficiary, Guarantor shall, together with such payment, pay an additional amount so that after all applicable deductions or withholdings, the Beneficiary actually receives for its benefit the full amount which it would have received if no such deductions or withholdings had been required and shall pay the full amount of any such deductions or withholding to the appropriate governmental authority within the time required by applicable law.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guarantee nor consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed or approved in writing by the Beneficiary and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

No failure on the part of the Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercises of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or nonauthorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the later to occur of (i) satisfaction or payment in full of all Obligations and (ii) the Agreement is no longer in effect.

Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that (i) [H SUBSIDIARY] is a wholly owned subsidiary of Guarantor, (ii) it is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, (iii) it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Guarantee, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) it has duly executed and delivered this Guarantee, (v) this Guarantee constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, (vi) its execution and delivery of this Guarantee, the performance by it of its obligations under this Guarantee and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other action on its part, (vii) its execution and delivery of, and its performance and compliance with the terms and provisions of, this Guarantee does not conflict with, result in a material breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) its articles of organization, by-laws or other applicable organizational agreements or governing instruments, (B) any statute, rule or regulation applicable to, or any judgment, order, injunction, decree, regulation or ruling of any court or other governmental authority to which it is subject or by which any of its assets are bound, or (C) any agreement or contract to which it is a party or to which it or its property is subject, (viii) no authorization, consent, order, approval or license from, filing with, or other act by any governmental authority or other person or entity is or will be necessary to permit the valid execution and delivery by it of this Guarantee or the performance by it of the obligations to be performed by it under this Guarantee, or if any such authorizations, consents, orders, approvals or licenses are required, they have been obtained and (ix) Guarantor shall take all action within its power to cause [H SUBSIDIARY] to comply with its obligations under the Agreement.

Guarantor shall reimburse the Beneficiary on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges (including reasonable fees of legal counsel) incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with the enforcement of this Guarantee.

This Guarantee shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties. Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan in the State of New York. Each party irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in a court of such jurisdiction and any claim that the suit, action or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Any notice hereunder will be sufficiently given if given in accordance with the provisions for notices under the Agreement and will be effective as set forth therein. All notices hereunder shall be delivered to Haemonetics Corporation at 400 Wood Road, Braintree, Massachusetts 02184 USA, Attention: [INSERT NAME]; Telephone No.: [INSERT NUMBER]; Facsimile No.: [INSERT NUMBER].

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be executed in its corporate name by its duly authorized officer as of the date of the Agreement.

Supplier shall confirm, in writing, its receipt of Haemonetics’ change notification within ten (10) working days of receipt and shall evaluate the change within sixty (60) days of receipt. Supplier shall provide estimated implementation plan and cost impact in writing to Haemonetics for acceptance or rejection by Haemonetics in writing prior to implementation of change. If Haemonetics rejects such implementation plan and cost impact in writing, then the applicable Components shall continue to be manufactured in accordance with the existing Specifications. If Haemonetics approves such implementation plan and cost impact in writing, then Supplier shall manufacture the applicable Components in accordance with such new Specifications, provided that the new Specifications shall not apply to any outstanding Firm Orders, and shall promptly advise Haemonetics in writing of the first Component lot to contain the changes.

		Supplier may make changes in Specifications, construction, raw materials, design, manufacturing process, brand designation, labelling and packaging of the Components at any time, provided that Supplier will give Haemonetics as much advance notice as practicable of any changes that impact the form, fit or function of the Components, including a detailed description of the change and the reasons for such change, and such change shall be subject to the prior written approval of Haemonetics, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

2.2		Subcontracting. Supplier shall not use subcontractors or otherwise delegate its obligations and responsibilities hereunder, except for those subcontractors that (a) are listed on Schedule 3 attached hereto and are providing services at the Supplier Premises or Subcontractor Premises and (b) other subcontractors that Supplier identifies by written notice to Haemonetics prior to engagement and that are approved in writing by Haemonetics. Supplier shall be fully responsible to Haemonetics for any subcontractors’ acts and omissions and the acts and omissions of their employees.

Provided the Parties mutually agree on the pricing of the Improvements in writing, Haemonetics shall be entitled to treat any such Improvement as Components hereunder and purchase such Improvements from Supplier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in which event the Parties shall amend Schedule 1 accordingly.

2.5	Quality Procedures. The Parties shall comply with the quality provisions set forth in Appendix B hereto.

3.	PURCHASE AND SUPPLY

3.1	Forecast.

	(a)	Subject to Clause 3.1(b), at the commencement of each calendar month during the Term, Haemonetics will provide a rolling monthly twelve (12) month forecast (a “Forecast”) of the quantity of Components required to be delivered from Supplier. The first two (2) months of such Forecast shall constitute a firm order (a "Firm Order") for the quantity of Components in the Forecast, and, at the commencement of the first month following the Effective Date and at the commencement of every other month during the Term thereafter, Haemonetics shall issue Purchase Orders (as defined below) for the amount of Components contemplated by the Firm Order in the then-current Forecast. Except for the portion of the Forecast constituting a Firm Order, Forecasts shall be for planning purposes only and shall not be binding on either Party, and Haemonetics reserves the right to revise in any way, at any time and from time to time, at its discretion, any or all portions of the Forecast that do not constitute a Firm Order. Supplier shall maintain sufficient capacity to meet forecasted demand for the Components. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall not be required to maintain capacity in excess of the capacity set forth in Clause 15.4(a). Supplier shall promptly notify Haemonetics upon becoming aware that any of the Components or key components or material incorporated in, or used to fabricate, the Components are to be made obsolete by any third party supplier, or will otherwise be unavailable to Supplier to purchase. Supplier shall promptly discuss and agree with Haemonetics a plan to deal with such sourcing issues.

		Supplier shall maintain, at its expense, a safety stock equal to one (1) calendar month inventory of each of the Components at its warehouse locations in Puerto Rico, which minimum quantity shall be equal to the last thirty (30) calendar days of deliveries specified in the then-current Firm Order. Such safety stock levels will be adjusted monthly based on the current Forecast. Supplier will have eight (8) weeks to implement agreed upon changes to the safety stock levels following receipt of the revised Forecast.

	(b)	Effective as of the Subsequent Closing Date, Clause 3.1(a) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

3.2	Orders.

	(a)	Purchases of Components may be made under this Agreement by Haemonetics and/or any of its Affiliates solely for use in the Field. To purchase Components hereunder, Haemonetics and/or any of its Affiliates shall issue purchase orders ("Purchase Order"), which shall specify the Purchase Order number, quantity of Components ordered, Component Price, part number, description, method of shipment, place(s) of delivery and Delivery Date(s). Purchase Orders may be delivered to Supplier by hand, confirmed telefax, mail, overnight courier, or by electronic mail. Purchase Orders delivered to Supplier shall not be effective for any purpose until received by Supplier and acknowledged in writing by Supplier. Supplier shall acknowledge acceptance within five (5) days of receipt.

	(b)	Prior to the Subsequent Closing Date, Supplier’s obligations to fulfill Purchase Orders shall be as set forth in Clause 3.1(a) above. Effective as of the Subsequent Closing Date, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill Purchase Orders; provided, however, that Supplier shall not be required to accept any Purchase Order.

3.3	Non-fulfillment. If, for any reason, the Supplier believes that it is or is likely to be unable to fulfill all or any part of any order from Haemonetics for a Component, it shall promptly, no later than five (5) business days following the determination of such inability to meet demand, inform Haemonetics in writing of such inability. Nothing in this Clause 3.3 shall release the Supplier from its obligation to fulfill any accepted order.

3.4	Cancellations. Haemonetics may not cancel any Purchase Order or portion thereof after such Purchase Order has been accepted in writing by Supplier.

4.	PRICING AND PAYMENT TERMS

4.1	Price.

	(a)	The prices set forth in Schedule 1 shall remain unchanged during the first Contract Year. Thereafter, once per Contract Year on written notice not later than 45 days prior to the end of a Contract Year and effective as of the commencement of the applicable Contract Year, Supplier shall be entitled to make increases and Haemonetics shall be entitled to make decreases to such prices, subject to this Clause 4.1.

	(b)	The new price following such an increase or decrease may not exceed an amount equal to the price immediately prior to such change, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current PPI and the denominator of which is the Base PPI. For purposes hereof, “Current PPI” shall mean the average of the Index values for the 12 months immediately preceding the later of the Effective Date or the most recent anniversary of the Effective Date, and “Base PPI” shall mean the average of the Index values for the 12 months immediately preceding the later of: the Effective Date or the date of the most recent price change, provided, however, that in the 12 month period under consideration, only Index values that are not preliminary (as defined by the Bureau) may be used for the calculation.

	(c)	If the Subsequent Closing occurs prior to the date on which Haemonetics has purchased from Supplier an aggregate of $44,366,000 of Components, then Haemonetics shall pay Supplier an amount equal to $44,366,000 minus the actual aggregate dollar amount of purchases of Components, multiplied by 21.0% (the “Early Delivery Fee”).

	(d)	If Haemonetics purchases from Supplier an aggregate of $44,366,000 of Components and the Subsequent Closing has not yet occurred, then an Early Delivery Fee shall not be due and the price of each Component will be reset and be reduced by an amount equal to 21.0% of the price of the applicable Component in effect immediately prior to the date on which Haemonetics has purchased from Supplier an aggregate of $44,366,000 of Components. Thereafter, effective as of Subsequent Closing Date, the price of each Component will be reset and be increased by an amount equal to 26.6% of the price of the applicable Component in effect immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing Date. For clarity, after any price adjustment contemplated by this Clause 4.1(d), the applicable prices for Components may be adjusted thereafter in accordance with Clause 4.1(b) using the reset Component price as the then-current price.

	(e)	Notwithstanding the provisions of Clauses 4.1(c) and (d), if the HDC Line Delivery has occurred and Supplier is not in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the Purchase Agreement to an extent that would permit Haemonetics not to consummate the Subsequent Closing, then the term “HDC Line Delivery” shall be substituted for “Subsequent Closing” for purposes of the applications of Clauses 4.1(c) and (d), as applicable.

4.2	Invoices. The Supplier shall submit invoices upon shipment of Components. Such invoices shall be submitted in the currency set forth in Schedule 1 and shall reference the Purchase Order number and be sent to the "Bill to" address specified on the Purchase Order.

4.3	Payment. Payment of all amounts that are not rightfully disputed in writing by Haemonetics shall be due in full thirty (30) days from the date of invoice receipt. Payment shall be made in U.S. Dollars and may be made by check, ACH, wire transfer or any other legal tender. Supplier shall provide comprehensive payment instructions including banking information either on its invoice or letterhead. A monthly interest charge at the rate of one and one half percent or the maximum legal rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower, will be assessed on all past due payments calculated from the due date, unless such payments are disputed in good faith by Haemonetics in writing.

4.4		Taxes. All applicable taxes, including, without limitation, value added taxes (“VAT”), sales or use taxes, transaction privilege taxes, gross receipts taxes and other charges such as duties, customs, tariffs, imposts and government-imposed surcharges (collectively, “Taxes”) shall be stated separately on Supplier’s invoice. Supplier shall remit all such Taxes to the appropriate tax authority unless Haemonetics provides sufficient proof of tax exemption. When Components are delivered within jurisdictions in which Supplier’s collection and remittance of Taxes is required by law, Supplier shall have sole responsibility for payment of such Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. In the event Supplier does not collect sufficient tax from Haemonetics, and is subsequently audited by any tax authority that determines Supplier is delinquent in paying Taxes, the liability of Haemonetics shall be limited to the tax assessment, with no reimbursement for penalty or interest charges unless such tax delinquency is caused by the acts or omissions of Haemonetics. Unless otherwise stated, all sums payable under this Agreement are exclusive of Taxes.

5.		SHIPPING AND DELIVERY – IMPORT AND EXPORT

5.1		Shipping and Delivery. Supplier shall ship and deliver Components in accordance with the terms set forth hereunder and in the applicable Purchase Order, subject to Clause 16.5. Shipping quantities may not vary from those established by the Purchase Order unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing. Deliveries of Components during the first Contract Year shall be made to the manufacturing plant being leased to Haemonetics or its Affiliate by Supplier in Puerto Rico, and thereafter, such other location(s) as set forth in the applicable Purchase Order. Supplier shall ensure that the Components are properly packed and shipped in such a manner to reach the delivery address in undamaged condition, and shall comply with all reasonable directions given from time to time by Haemonetics in connection with delivery. In the event any shipment or scheduled pick-up is delayed, and such delay is not caused by a Force Majeure Event, Haemonetics may direct Supplier to ship such Components by premium transportation mode and Supplier shall bear the expense of any difference in cost due to such premium transportation. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing signed by both Supplier and Haemonetics, delivery from Supplier’s factory or designated shipment point shall be FCA (Free Carrier) INCOTERMS 2010. Title and risk of loss passes at the point when the goods leave Supplier’s factory or designated shipment point.

5.2		Acceptance. If any Component supplied by the Supplier is defective after evaluation by Haemonetics within ten (10) business days of delivery, then Haemonetics will have the right, notwithstanding prior payment, to reject such Components. Haemonetics shall inform the Supplier within such ten (10) business day period, and Supplier shall, at its option and at its own expense: (a) accept return of defective Components and furnish replacement Components; (b) furnish replacement parts for the defective Components; or (c) accept return of defective Components and issue credits with respect to such Component or portion thereof. The foregoing shall not be in limitation of any rights which Haemonetics may have at law or in equity by reason of any breach of warranties set forth in this Agreement. If a replacement shipment is chosen by Supplier then Supplier shall promptly replace such Components with conforming Components, and shall bear all costs associated with such replacement, including but not limited to freight, insurance and customs charges. Haemonetics shall promptly notify Supplier of any Component defect, and Supplier shall promptly take steps to ensure that that Component defect is not present in any Component held by Supplier in inventory, and that the appropriate process changes are performed to prevent the defect from re-occurring. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replenish Haemonetics inventories of Components, where Haemonetics has returned Components because of a failure to meet Specifications. In the event of minor defects, the Parties may mutually agree that Haemonetics shall correct such defects at the Supplier’s costs and expense.

5.3		Returned Components. Shipping costs for Components that do not meet the Specifications and that Supplier elects to have returned and replaced in accordance with Clause 5.2, and the costs of expedited replacements for such Components, shall be borne by Supplier.

5.4		Import - Export Regulations. Neither Party shall commit any act or request the other Party to commit any act in connection with this Agreement which would violate the import or export control laws or regulations of the United States, or the import and export control laws or regulations promulgated and administered by a body of the European Union or the government of any other country having jurisdiction over the Parties or the supply of Components hereunder. Neither Party shall fail to take any action reasonably within its capacity to assure compliance with such laws, rules or regulations.

6.		INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

6.1		Ownership. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the Intellectual Property Rights of the Parties that existed prior to the commencement of this Agreement. The Parties understand and agree that, except as specifically set forth herein, no license or other rights, either express or implied, are granted by either Party to the other under this Agreement with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights.

6.2		Limited Use License. Each Party hereby grants to the other Party, a nonexclusive, irrevocable (during the Term), non-transferable, royalty free, worldwide license to use such Intellectual Property Rights of the granting Party as are necessary solely for the purposes of manufacturing, labelling, packaging and supplying the Components in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Recipient or any of its Affiliates receive notice that it may be required or ordered by any judicial process or governmental entity to disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it will take all reasonable steps to give the Disclosing Party sufficient prior notice to enable it, at its own expense, to contest such requirement or order, and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in all respects. In the event that a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, Recipient or its Affiliates, as applicable, may disclose the portion of the Confidential Information that, on advice of counsel, it is legally required to disclose (exercising commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such Confidential Information) and shall not be liable for any such disclosure hereunder. Recipient understands and acknowledges that the Confidential Information may be considered material, non-public information and, as such, can only be used for the purpose of exercising rights and performing obligations under this Agreement and cannot be used by Recipient to buy or sell stock of the Disclosing Party pursuant to section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988.

Subject to the proviso above, in the event a claim described in Clause (iii) is made with respect to the Components and Haemonetics is enjoined from using the Components as a result of the claim, then in addition to its other obligations under this Clause 9, Supplier shall promptly, and at its own cost and expense, (a) procure for Haemonetics and its customers the right to continue using the Components as before such claim was made, or (b) replace the infringing Component with non-infringing components, or modify the Components so as to render them non-infringing.

9.2.		Haemonetics Indemnity. Haemonetics shall indemnify, defend and hold Supplier, its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Claims, resulting from the claims of third parties, to the extent caused by (i) the breach by Haemonetics of any term, representation or warranty made hereunder, (ii) any act or deed constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct committed or omitted by Haemonetics, its directors, officers or employees in their performance hereunder, except to the extent such Claims are caused by or result from any act, deed or omission by Supplier or any third party or (iii) arising from any claim that the manufacture, sale, use, design, distribution or operation of the Components infringes upon or violates any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party to the extent such intellectual property infringement or claim thereof arises out or in connection with the use of the Components in a manner inconsistent with the Specifications or in a manner for which a Component was not designed or the incorporation of the Components into a product other than products in the Product Lines as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

The Party seeking indemnification shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying Party, unless, if, on the basis of a written opinion of outside counsel to be provided to the indemnifying Party, the indemnified Party reasonably determines that there exists a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party, in which event the indemnified party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the expense of the indemnifying Party. The indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, agree to the settlement, compromise or discharge of such third party claim, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
