Section 8.2 Noncompetition Agreement.

(a) In consideration for the benefits Seller and the Seller Shareholders will receive in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, which benefits Seller and each Seller Shareholder hereby acknowledges, and as further consideration for, and as a condition to, the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller and each Seller Shareholder covenants and agrees that for a period commencing as of the Closing Date and continuing thereafter for a period of five (5) years, neither Seller nor any Seller Shareholder will, anywhere within the Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly, (i) operate develop or own any interest (other than the ownership of less than 2% of the equity securities of a publicly traded company) in any business which has activities relating to the ownership of, the management or operation of, or consultation regarding a plasma, blood and blood products collection and processing operation and/or the sale of blood products or services (a “Competing Business”); (ii) consult with, advise (whether formally or informally) or be employed by, any business which directly or indirectly owns, manages or operates a Competing Business; (iii) interfere with, solicit, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past present or prospective relationship, contractual or otherwise, between Seller, on one hand, and any donor, supplier, customer or employee of Seller, on the other hand; or (iv) solicit any past, present or prospective employee of Seller to leave his or her employment with Seller ((i)-(iv) above being collectively the “Prohibited Activities”). Seller and each Seller Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Territory and Prohibited Activities substantially cover the geography and activities that comprise the market in which Seller conducts the Business as of even date with this Agreement.

(b) Seller and each Seller Shareholder hereby acknowledges that its agreements not to engage in the Prohibited Activities for the period of time provided herein are manifestly reasonable upon their face and that they are reasonable as to time and no greater than is required for the reasonable protection of Buyer in light of the substantial harm that Buyer would suffer should Seller or any Seller Shareholder breach any of the provisions of this Section 8.2. Seller and each Seller Shareholder further agrees that the nature, kind and character of the Prohibited Activities are reasonably necessary to protect the interests of Buyer.

If any taxing authority asserts that Seller is liable for any Tax, Seller shall promptly pay any and all such amounts and shall provide evidence to the Buyer that such liabilities have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied.

(c) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall control the conduct and resolution of any Claim which involves the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement (a “Tax Claim”); provided that Seller may participate in such proceedings at its own expense.

If Indemnitor fails to timely deliver notice of its intent to assume the defense of the such suit or proceeding or if the defendants in any such suit or proceeding include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such defense and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnitee, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (A) settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that provides for relief other than the payment of monetary damages, or (B) settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to the Indemnitee of a release from all Liability in respect of such claim.

(b) The Indemnitee shall assist and reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor in the conduct of litigation, the making of settlements and the enforcement of any right of contribution to which the Indemnitee may be entitled from any Person in connection with the subject matter of any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the Indemnitee shall, upon the reasonable request by the Indemnitor or counsel selected by the Indemnitor, attend hearings and trials, assist in the securing and giving of evidence, assist in obtaining the presence or cooperation of witnesses, make available its own personnel, and effect settlements; and shall use commercially reasonable efforts take such actions as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate in connection with such litigation. With respect to any suit or proceeding for which the Indemnitor has assumed the defense thereof, the Indemnitee shall have the right to join in the defense of such litigation or claim at such Indemnitee’s own cost and expense, and, if the Indemnitee agrees in writing to be bound by and promptly to pay the full amount of any final judgment from which no further appeal may be taken, without recourse against Indemnitor, and if the Indemnitor is reasonably assured of the Indemnitee’s ability to satisfy such agreement, then, at the option of the Indemnitee, such Indemnitee may take over the defense of such litigation or claim.

Section 9.6 Payment of Claims; Offset. In the event that there is any amount due and payable by any Seller Indemnifying Party to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnification Payment”), then, in addition to other remedies available to Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled to offset against the Holdback Amount the amount of such Indemnification Payment, and the Holdback Amount due and payable to Seller pursuant to Section 2.5(b) shall be reduced by the amount of such Indemnification Payment.

Section 9.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payment. All Indemnification Payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price, for Tax purposes.

If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(b) Neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any press release or other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior approval of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Seller or Buyer may issue a press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent required by applicable Law or to comply with accounting or other disclosure obligations.

Section 11.4 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle that might refer the governance or the interpretation, construction or enforcement of this Agreement to the laws of another jurisdiction. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, FROM WHATEVER SOURCE ARISING, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof shall be brought and determined in the United States Federal Courts for the Eastern District of Texas, or if such legal action or proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional purposes, in the state courts of Texas situated in Jefferson County, Texas. Each of the Parties hereby (i) irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement and waives the defense of sovereign immunity, (ii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court or that such action is brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than any Texas state or federal court sitting in Texas.

Section 11.5 Benefit/Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns and no others. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of Seller, Buyer shall be permitted to assign in whole, or in part, its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates (in which case Buyer shall nonetheless remain responsible to Seller for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder). Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 11.5 shall be null and void. No assignment or delegation shall relieve the assigning or delegating party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.6 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either Party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or another provision hereof.

Section 11.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law: (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms (including duration, area or amount) to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 11.8 Entire Agreement/Amendment; Counterparts. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and all of the Exhibits and the Schedules hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement between or among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersede all previous agreements, contracts and understandings. No amendments, modifications or changes in or to this Agreement shall be effective unless and until made in writing and signed by each of the Parties. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement. A “.pdf” signature page delivered by electronic mail shall be as acceptable as an original.

Section 11.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as contemplated under Article IX in respect of Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

Section 11.10 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
