Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Purchase Agreement
On October 6, 2016, ICU Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pfizer”), and the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, the Company will purchase the Hospira Infusion Systems business, consisting of IV pumps, solutions, and disposables and certain other assets of Pfizer (the “Business”) for a purchase price of $600,960,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and 3,200,000 unregistered shares of common stock (the “Company Stock”) of the Company (the “Stock Consideration” and, together with the Cash Consideration, the “Consideration”) (the “Transaction”). The Consideration is subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. The Company expects to finance the Cash Consideration through a combination of debt financing and cash on hand.
The Transaction has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of the Company.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by the Company and Pfizer. The Company and Pfizer have also agreed to comply with covenants during the interim period between the date of the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the date of consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing”). In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides that the parties will indemnify each other for breaches of these representations, warranties and covenants, subject to certain limitations, and for certain other matters.
Under the Purchase Agreement, Pfizer will agree for a period of five-years after Closing to certain non-competition restrictions with respect to medical device and solutions products which are the same as the acquired products, subject to certain exceptions.
At the Closing, the Company, Pfizer and certain of their affiliates will enter into ancillary agreements providing for transitional services, manufacturing relationships and license and other arrangements.
Consummation of the Transaction is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, (i) the absence of any law or order or certain legal proceedings prohibiting the Transaction, (ii) the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods and obtaining certain regulatory approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and antitrust laws of certain other jurisdictions, (iii) the accuracy of representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement and compliance with covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the absence of any material adverse effect with respect to the Business, Pfizer or the Company and (v) the execution and delivery of certain related documents.
The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary termination rights, including, among others, the right of either the Company or Pfizer to terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Purchase Agreement (the “Outside Date”), subject to certain conditions, though the Outside Date may be extended to the nine-month anniversary of the Purchase Agreement in certain circumstances. In the event that the Purchase Agreement is terminated by Pfizer (x) upon a material and intentional breach by the Company of its antitrust or financing obligations which would result in the conditions of Pfizer to close the Transaction being incapable of fulfilment, that has not been cured by the earlier of 45 days after Pfizer’s written notice of termination and the Outside Date and/or is not capable of being cured by the Outside Date, Pfizer terminates within 60 days of its written notice of termination and Pfizer is then not in material breach of the Agreement or (y) when all of the mutual conditions and the conditions of the Company to close the Transaction (other than those waived by Pfizer or that are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied on the date on which the Closing should have occurred under the Purchase Agreement, the Company fails to close within 3 days of that date and Pfizer is ready, willing and able to close the Transaction at the time of termination (except to the extent the Company’s action or omissions caused Pfizer not to be ready, willing and able to close at the time of termination), then the Company will pay Pfizer $75,000,000 (together with interest thereon plus expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Purchase Agreement).
The representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement reflect negotiations between the parties and are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by the Company’s shareholders; in certain cases, these representations and warranties merely represent allocation decisions among the parties, have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Purchase Agreement itself, may no longer be true as of a given date and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders. As such, the representations and warranties are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement and may be limited or modified by a variety of factors, including: subsequent events, information included in public filings, disclosures made during negotiations, correspondence between the parties and disclosure schedules to the Purchase Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Transaction and the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.





Commitment Letter
In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Company entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) dated October 6, 2016, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Barclays Bank PLC (the “Committed Parties”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Committed Parties will provide the Company with senior secured credit facilities of up to $400 million consisting of a term loan facility of $300 million and a revolving credit facility of $100 million. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Barclays Bank PLC will act as the joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as the sole administrative agent. The Company is obligated under the Purchase Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the financing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to Closing.
The foregoing description of the Debt Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Debt Commitment Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Shareholders Agreement
The parties have agreed that upon the consummation of the Transaction and in connection with the Company’s issuance of the Stock Consideration to Pfizer, the Company and Pfizer will enter into a Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”). The Shareholders Agreement will impose certain restrictions on Pfizer, including prohibiting certain transfers of the shares of Company Stock issued to Pfizer (i) until the earlier of the expiration of the term of services under a transitional services agreement to be entered into between the parties at Closing and 18 months or (ii) to certain competitors of the Company or certain other parties, as well as customary standstill limitations.
Under the Shareholders Agreement Pfizer will have the right to designate one individual for election to the Company’s board of directors so long as Pfizer beneficially owns at least 10% of the total outstanding shares of Company Stock. Under the Shareholders Agreement, so long as Pfizer beneficially owns at least 5% of the total outstanding shares of Company Stock, Pfizer will agree to vote its shares of Company Stock, subject to certain exceptions relating to significant corporate transactions, in accordance with the recommendation by the Company’s board of directors and in favor of persons nominated and recommended to serve as directors by the Company’s board of directors. Pfizer will be entitled to demand and piggy-back registration rights.
The foregoing description of the Shareholders Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Shareholders Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On October 6, 2016, the Company and Pfizer issued the joint press release attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information.

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and may often be identified by the use of words such as “will”, “may”, “could”, “should,” “would”, “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan,” “estimate”, “forecast”, “potential”, “intend”, “continue”, “target”, “'build”, “expand” or the negative thereof and variations of these words or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's expectations, goals or intentions regarding the future, including, but not limited to, its full year 2016 guidance, the Transaction, the expected timetable for completing the Transaction, benefits and synergies of the Business or the Transaction, future opportunities for the Business and products and any other statements regarding the Company’s and the Business’s future operations, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, competition, and other expectations and targets for future periods. Because forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: decreased demand for the Company's products; decreased free cash flow; the inability to recapture conversion delays or part/resource shortages on anticipated timing, or at all; changes in product mix; increased competition from competitors; lack of continued growth or improving efficiencies; unexpected changes in the Company's arrangements with its largest customers; the parties’ ability to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the Transaction; changes in relevant tax and other laws; the parties’ ability to consummate the Transaction; the conditions to the completion of the Transaction; the regulatory approvals required for the Transaction not being obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule; inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements, and the





providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with GAAP and related standards or on an adjusted basis; the integration of the Business by the Company being more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients or suppliers) being greater than expected following the Transaction; the retention of certain key employees of the Business being difficult; the Company’s and the Business’s expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results; the Business’s capacity to bring new products to market, including but not limited to where it uses its business judgment and decides to manufacture, market, and/or sell products, directly or through third parties, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) have not been finally resolved by the courts (i.e., an “at-risk launch”); the scope, timing and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings and the impact of any such proceedings on the Company’s and the Business’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; the Company’s and the Business’s ability to protect their intellectual property and preserve their intellectual property rights; the effect of any changes in customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in third-party relationships; the impacts of competition; changes in economic and financial conditions of the Company’s business or the Business; uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management; and the possibility that the Company may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the Transaction within the expected time-frames or at all and to successfully integrate the Business. For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business activities, see the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You can access the Company’s Form 10-K through the SEC website at www.sec.gov, and the Company strongly encourages you to do so.

The Proposed Closing Statement shall be unaudited but shall be prepared in good faith and applying the Accounting Principles, and on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Balance Sheet Statement.

b.During the sixty (60)-day period (“Review Period”) following Seller Parent’s receipt of the Proposed Closing Statement, (i) Seller Parent and its Representatives shall be permitted reasonable access during normal business hours to the working papers of Purchaser and its independent auditors used in the preparation of the Proposed Closing Statement (provided, that Seller Parent and its Representatives, including its independent auditors, have executed all release letters reasonably requested by Purchaser’s independent auditors in connection therewith) and (ii) Seller Parent may dispute the amounts reflected on the line items of the Proposed Closing Statement (a “Disputed Item”) on the basis that a Disputed Item does not reflect, or has not been made in a manner consistent with, the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, Seller Parent shall notify Purchaser in writing of each Disputed Item, and specify the amount thereof in dispute and the specific basis therefor, within the Review Period. Any notice of Disputed Items shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted (with reasonable supporting documentation) and (ii) specify the amount that Seller Parent reasonably believes is the correct Working Capital or the Net Cash, based on the disagreements set forth in the notice of Disputed Items, including a reasonably detailed description of the adjustments applied to the Proposed Closing Statement in calculating such amount. Seller Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Proposed Closing Statement not so objected to in a notice of Disputed Items within the Review Period, and the failure by Seller Parent to provide a notice of Disputed Items to Purchaser within the Review Period will constitute Seller Parent’s acceptance of all of the items in the Proposed Closing Statement and the Proposed Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties as the Final Closing Statement at the end of the Review Period.

c.If a notice of Disputed Items shall be timely delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(b), Seller Parent and Purchaser shall, during the forty-five (45) days following the date of such delivery (the “Resolution Period”), negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items. During the Resolution Period, Purchaser and its Representatives (including its independent auditors) shall be permitted reasonable access during normal business hours to the working papers of Seller Parent and its independent auditors relating to the notice of Disputed Items (provided, that Purchaser and its Representatives, including its independent auditors, have executed all release letters reasonably requested





by Seller Parent’s independent auditors in connection therewith). To the extent the Disputed Items are so resolved in writing within the Resolution Period, then the Proposed Closing Statement, as revised to incorporate such changes as have been agreed between Purchaser and Seller Parent, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties as the Final Closing Statement.

d.If during such Resolution Period the Parties are unable to reach agreement, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall refer all unresolved Disputed Items to the Independent Accountant. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accountant to make a determination with respect to each unresolved Disputed Item within thirty (30) days after its engagement by Seller Parent and Purchaser to resolve such Disputed Items, which determination shall be made in accordance with the rules set forth in this Section 2.10. The Independent Accountant may conduct such proceedings as the Independent Accountant believes, in its sole discretion, will assist in the determination of the unresolved Disputed Items; provided, however, that, except as Seller Parent and Purchaser may otherwise agree, all communications between Seller Parent and Purchaser or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the Independent Accountant, on the other hand, will be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the non-communicating Party. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination solely (i) on the documentation submitted by, and presentations (any such documentation or presentation must be provided to the other Party prior to its submission or presentation to the Independent Accountant) made by Seller Parent and Purchaser, (ii) on the definitions of Preliminary Purchase Price, Working Capital, and Net Cash (and each of the defined terms used in each of those terms) and (iii) in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accountant to deliver to Seller Parent and Purchaser, within such thirty (30)-day period, a written report setting forth its adjustments, if any, to the Proposed Closing Statement and the calculations supporting such adjustments, and any such adjustments must be within the range of values established for such Disputed Item in the Proposed Closing Statement and the notice of Disputed Items delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Such report shall be final, binding on the Parties and conclusive on Seller Parent and Purchaser, absent manifest errors, and enforceable in a court of law, effective as of the date the Independent Accountant’s written determination is received by Seller Parent and Purchaser. Seller Parent and Purchaser shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all the costs incurred in connection with the engagement of the Independent Accountant. As used herein, “Final Working Capital” means (A) if no notice of Disputed Items with respect to the Working Capital is delivered by Seller Parent to Purchaser within the Review Period, the Working Capital as shown in the Proposed Closing Statement as prepared by Purchaser, or (B) if such a notice of Disputed Items with respect to the Working Capital is delivered by Seller Parent, either (x) the Working Capital as agreed to in writing by Seller Parent and Purchaser, or (y) the Working Capital as shown in the Independent Accountant’s calculation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(d). As used herein, “Final Net Cash” means (1) if no notice of Disputed Items with respect to the Net Cash is delivered by Seller Parent to Purchaser within the Review Period, the Net Cash as shown in the Proposed Closing Statement as prepared by Purchaser, or (2) if such a notice of Disputed Items with respect to the Net Cash is delivered by Seller Parent, either (x) the Net Cash as agreed to in writing by Seller Parent and Purchaser, or (y) the Net Cash as shown in the Independent Accountant’s calculation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(d). Seller Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that they have discussed their past contacts, if any, with the





Independent Accountant, and that neither Party shall have the right to object to the Independent Accountant’s service in such role by reason of disclosed past contacts and conflicts of interest. If, before the Independent Accountant renders its determination with respect to the Disputed Items in accordance with this Section 2.10(d), (I) Seller Parent notifies Purchaser of its agreement with any items in the Proposed Closing Statement or (II) Purchaser notifies Seller Parent of its agreement with any Disputed Items, then in each case such items as so agreed will be conclusive and binding on the Parties immediately upon such notice.

e.Until the date on which the Proposed Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or Section 2.10(c), as applicable, Purchaser agrees that following the Closing it shall preserve the accounting books and records of the Business on which the Proposed Closing Statement is to be based and shall not take any actions with respect to such books and records that would obstruct, prevent or otherwise affect the procedures or the results of the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10(e) (including the Working Capital and the Net Cash). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no changes shall be made during such period in any reserve or other account existing as of the date of the Historical Financial Statements, except as a result of events occurring after the date of the Historical Financial Statements and, in such event, only in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Business using the same accounting principles, policies, procedures and methods (with consistent classifications, judgments, inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies used and applied by Seller Parent in the preparation of the Historical Financial Statements).

f.Until the date on which the Proposed Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to Section 2.10(c), Purchaser agrees that following the Closing it shall afford and cause to be afforded to Seller Parent and its Representatives, in connection with the Proposed Closing Statement and any adjustment to the Preliminary Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.10(f), access upon reasonable notice during normal business hours to the properties, books, contracts, personnel and records of the Business and Purchaser’s and its accountant’s work papers (provided, that Seller Parent and its Representatives, including its independent auditors, have executed all release letters reasonably requested by Purchaser’s independent auditors in connection therewith) relevant to the preparation of the Proposed Closing Statement and the adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.10(f), including any notice of Disputed Items, and shall provide Seller Parent, upon Seller Parent’s reasonable request and at its sole cost and expense, with copies of any such books, contracts, records and work papers.

g.If the Final Working Capital Adjustment is positive, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller Parent the amount equal to the Final Working Capital Adjustment. If the Final Working Capital Adjustment is negative, then Seller Parent shall pay to Purchaser the amount equal to the absolute value of the Final Working Capital Adjustment. If the Final Net Cash Adjustment is positive, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller Parent the amount equal to the Final Net Cash Adjustment. If the Final Net Cash Adjustment is negative, then Seller Parent shall pay to Purchaser the amount equal to the absolute value of the Final Net Cash Adjustment. Any payment due under this Section 2.10(g) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Seller Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, within five (5) days after the date on which the Final Closing Statement becomes conclusive and binding on the Parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.10, and, if not paid within such period, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate. All computations of interest shall be made





in accordance with Section 10.10. Any payment due under this Section 2.10(g) shall be offset and netted against any other payment to be made under this Section 2.10(g), such that only a single payment is made between Seller and Purchaser under this Section 2.10(g).

h.The “Final Purchase Price” shall be equal to (i) the Preliminary Purchase Price, plus (ii) the Final Working Capital Adjustment as determined pursuant to this Section 2.10 and plus (iii) the Final Net Cash Adjustment as determined pursuant to this Section 2.10.

Section 2.11    Allocation of the Purchase Price.

a.Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and Purchaser have agreed to allocate the Preliminary Purchase Price, without any adjustments contemplated in Section 2.8 in respect of VAT and Transfer Taxes, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Assumed Liabilities, 41% to the United States and 59% to the rest of the world (the “Preliminary Allocation”). Each of the Seller and Purchaser acknowledges that the Preliminary Allocation was done at arm’s length based upon a good faith estimate of fair market values.

b.No fewer than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date, Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and in accordance with this Section 2.11(b), shall deliver to Purchaser (i) a schedule allocating the Preliminary Purchase Price, without any adjustments contemplated in Section 2.8 in respect of VAT and Transfer Taxes, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Assumed Liabilities among (x) the Purchased Assets to be sold by each Asset Seller, and (y) the assets of any Conveyed Subsidiary (and Subsidiary thereof) (the “Asset Allocation Schedule”); and (ii) a written appraisal prepared by Ernst & Young supporting the values of the assets on the Asset Allocation Schedule (the “Appraisal Report”), the costs and expenses of which shall be borne equally by Seller Parent and Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Asset Allocation Schedule shall be limited to the specific assets and liabilities described in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be consistent in all respects with the Preliminary Allocation, shall be in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall be agreed to by Purchaser and Seller Parent on or before the Closing Date. Purchaser shall notify Seller Parent within ten (10) days of receipt of the Asset Allocation Schedule and the Appraisal Report of any objection Purchaser may have thereto. Unless Purchaser delivers a notice of objection with respect to the Asset Allocation Schedule or the Appraisal Report by the conclusion of such ten (10) day period, the Asset Allocation Schedule and the Appraisal Report provided by Seller Parent to Purchaser pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.11(b) shall become final and binding upon the Parties. The Parties hereto agree to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Asset Allocation Schedule and the Appraisal Report in good faith. If a resolution of such disagreement has not been effected within fifteen (15) days (or longer, as mutually agreed by the Parties hereto) after delivery of an objection by Purchaser, then either Party hereto may submit such agreement to the Independent Accountant for determination. The determination of the Independent Accountant with respect to any such disagreement shall be final and binding upon each Party hereto and the decision of the Independent Accountant shall constitute a final, binding and non-appealable determination upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover. If Seller Parent and Purchaser submit any dispute to the Independent Accountant for a resolution, pursuant to this Section 2.11, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred. All costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Seller Parent and Purchaser.






c.Each of the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall (i) be bound by the Preliminary Allocation and the Asset Allocation Schedule as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (together with the Preliminary Allocation, the “Allocation”), for purposes of determining any Taxes, (ii) timely prepare and file, and cause its Affiliates to timely prepare and file, any forms that may be required to be filed pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1060(b) of the Code, including IRS Form 8594 and any other comparable forms required under applicable Law in a manner consistent with the Allocation, (iii) prepare and file, and cause its Affiliates to prepare and file, its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation, and (iv) take no position, and cause its Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation on any applicable Tax Return or in any proceeding before any Taxing Authority or otherwise, except as otherwise required pursuant to a Final Determination pursuant to applicable Law or as mutually agreed by the Parties. In the event that a Taxing Authority disputes the Allocation, the Party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify the other Party, and Seller Parent and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to defend such Allocation in any applicable proceeding, and the matter shall be handled as a Tax Claim.

d.The Asset Allocation Schedule, and/or the Allocation, as the case may be, shall be adjusted to take into account any post-Closing adjustment to the Preliminary Purchase Price or the Final Purchase Price, including any modification necessary to reflect the determination of Final Working Capital and the Final Net Cash as applicable, in each case without any adjustments contemplated in Section 2.8 in respect of VAT and Transfer Taxes. Any such adjustment shall be made in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and with the original preparation of the Preliminary Allocation, the Asset Allocation Schedule or the Allocation, as applicable, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith to promptly amend the Preliminary Allocation, the Asset Allocation Schedule or the Allocation, as applicable. If after all other adjustments to the Allocation are made, the Allocation with respect to the Purchased Assets of any Asset Seller or the Allocation with respect to any Conveyed Subsidiary, when expressed in the relevant local currency at the rate of exchange used to determine the Final Working Capital and the Final Net Cash, is less than the local currency net book value, determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles, of such Purchased Assets or such Conveyed Subsidiary as of the Closing Date, the Allocation shall be adjusted so that it is equal to such local currency net book value converted at the rate of exchange used to determine the Final Working Capital and the Final Net Cash, and a corresponding adjustment will be made to the Allocation for the other Purchased Assets and the Conveyed Subsidiaries based on their relative Preliminary Purchase Price allocation. In the event of any adjustment to the Allocation, the Parties shall timely provide to, or file with, the Taxing Authorities any additional documents or information required to be provided or filed under applicable Law.

Section 2.12    Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Share Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to provide Seller Parent the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

d.No Plan is a “multiemployer plan,” as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, nor is any Plan subject to Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. Except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (or any Subsidiary thereof) has any Liability (i) for any Tax imposed under Section 4980B of the Code, or (ii) for any Tax imposed under 4980H or 9815 of the Code. No Conveyed Subsidiary or Asset Seller is or has at any time in the last six (6) years been connected with or an associate of (as those terms are used in the UK Pensions Act 2004) the employer in a UK defined benefit pension plan. None of Sellers, any of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (or any Subsidiary thereof), or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability to or on account of, any Plan pursuant to Title IV of ERISA, during the six (6) years preceding the date of this Agreement, which has not been fully paid.

e.To the Knowledge of Seller Parent, each Plan has been maintained, operated and administered in material compliance in all respects with its terms and applicable Law. All contributions required to be made to any Company Plan by applicable Law and the terms of such Company Plan, and all premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any Company Plan, for any period through the date hereof, have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be made or paid on or before the date hereof, have been fully reflected in the accounting records of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (or any Subsidiary thereof) to the extent required.

f.Other than routine claims for benefits submitted by participants or beneficiaries, no claim against, or proceeding involving, any Company Plan or any fiduciary thereof is pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller Parent, is threatened, which could reasonably be expected to result in any material Liability, direct or indirect (by indemnification or otherwise) of any Conveyed Subsidiaries (or any Subsidiary thereof).

g.Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) will (i)





cause accelerated vesting, payment or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment or benefit to any Business Employee, (ii) constitute a “deemed severance” or “deemed termination” under any Company Plan or (iii) result in any “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local, or foreign Tax Law). No Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) will be required to “gross up” or otherwise compensate any individual because of the imposition of any Tax on any payment to the individual.

h.Seller Parent shall have provided to Purchaser a true and complete list of the Business Employees (non-U.S.) and Business Employees (U.S.) as provided by Section 1.1(B) and Section 1.1(C), respectively, including the following information: whether each Business Employee is on leave of absence, and the employing entity, work location, position, date of hire, base salary, and bonus opportunity in the current fiscal year. Seller Parent has made available to Purchaser true and complete copies of each standard form employment contract applicable to Business Employees (non-U.S.) employed by Asset Sellers in a jurisdiction where the ARD applies and details of any material deviations from these standard forms. There is no person engaged to provide personal services to the Business who is not a Business Employee.

i.(i) No Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof), nor any Seller in connection with the Business is party to any Collective Bargaining Agreement; (ii) no labor union, labor organization, or works council has made a demand for recognition or certification, and there are no representation or certification proceedings or union elections presently pending or threatened in writing against any Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) or involving any of the employees of the Business; (iii) during the three (3) years prior to the date hereof, there have been no, and there are no pending strikes, picketing, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns against any Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) or involving any of the employees of the Business; (iv) there is no material unfair labor practice charge, labor arbitration or labor grievance proceeding threatened in writing against any Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) or the Business; and (v) there is no union, works council or other employee representative group, which must be notified, consulted or with which negotiations need to be conducted in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

j.Except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Seller Parent and its Affiliates in connection with the Business and the Conveyed Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable Laws relating to labor and employment matters, including fair employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, equal employment opportunity, nondiscrimination, consultation, immigration, labor relations, wages, hours benefits, workers’ compensation, payment of social security and similar Taxes, occupational health and safety, employee termination, and plant closing.

k.Except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no suit, action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller Parent, threatened against Seller with respect to the Business relating to the alleged violation of any Law pertaining to labor relations or employment matters. Except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, none of Seller Parent, an Asset Seller or a Conveyed Subsidiary (or any of its Subsidiaries) has in connection with the Business implemented any plant closing or layoff of employees that could implicate WARN or any similar Law.






l.Except as set forth on Section 4.17(l) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, no Conveyed Subsidiary (or any of its Subsidiaries) or Asset Seller has, in the six (6) years prior to the date hereof, been a party to a transaction whereby employee Liabilities in relation to early retirement benefits, including those due to or in relation to redundancy, in each case arising under or in connection with a UK defined benefit pension plan transferred to it pursuant to the ARD.

m.The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.17 are the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Seller Parent with respect to Plans, Foreign Plans, Collective Bargaining Agreements and other employee matters.

Section 4.18    Insurance. (a) Set forth in Section 4.18 of the Seller Disclosure Letter is a list, as of the date hereof, of each current material insurance policy that covers the Business, including its operations, properties, assets or employees (including a description of any self-insurance program). (b) Such insurance policies are in full force and effect in all material respects and all premiums due and payable thereon have been paid, and no written notice that any such insurance policy is no longer in force or effect has been received by any Seller or Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) and, to the Knowledge of Seller Parent, no Seller or any Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) is in default in any material respect of any provision of such insurance policies. (c) The coverage of such insurance policies is adequate to satisfy all of the contractual insurance obligations required under the terms of any Material Contract, Shared Contract or Real Property Lease or as required by applicable Law.
  
Section 4.19    Brokers. Except for Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Seller Parent. Seller Parent is solely responsible for the fees and expenses of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Guggenheim Securities, LLC and other Seller Transaction Expenses.

Section 4.20    Customers and Suppliers. Section 4.20 of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth an accurate and complete list of each supplier and end-user customer (not including distributors) accounting for more than five (5) percent of the consolidated purchases or sales, as the case may be, of the applicable Sellers and the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and Subsidiaries thereof) in respect of the Business, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Since January 1, 2016, no such supplier or customer of the Business has cancelled, terminated or materially and adversely modified or to the Knowledge of Seller Parent, threatened to cancel, terminate or materially and adversely modify, its relationship with any applicable Seller. Since the January 1, 2016, no Seller or Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) has received any written notice that any such supplier or customer may cancel, terminate or otherwise materially and adversely modify its relationship with such applicable Seller or Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) either as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise.

All manufacturing standards applied, testing procedures used, and product specifications disclosed to customers by the Sellers with respect to the Business have complied in all material respects with all requirements established by any applicable Law or Governmental Order.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER
Except (a) as disclosed or reflected in the SEC Reports, but excluding any risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” any disclosure of risks included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are similarly predictive or forward-looking in nature, in each case, other than any specific factual information contained therein, or (b) as set forth in the Purchaser Disclosure Letter and in accordance with Section 10.11 (other than with respect to Section 5.3, which shall not be subject to the foregoing exceptions), Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller Parent as follows:
Section 5.1    Organization. Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Delaware.






Section 5.2    Authority; Binding Effect.

a.Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it will be a party, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and by Purchaser and each Purchaser Designated Affiliate of each Ancillary Agreement to which it will be a party, and the performance by Purchaser and such Purchaser Designated Affiliates of their obligations hereunder and thereunder, have been, or will have been at the Closing, duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other action.

b.This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller Parent, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, and each Ancillary Agreement will be duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and each Purchaser Designated Affiliate to which it will be a party and will, assuming such Ancillary Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Seller that will be a party thereto, constitute a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and such Purchaser Designated Affiliate, in each case enforceable against Purchaser and such Purchaser Designated Affiliate in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or law).

Section 5.3     Capitalization.

a.As of August 31, 2016, the authorized capital stock of Purchaser consists of 80,000,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock, of which 16,231,547 shares are issued and outstanding, no shares are issued and held in the treasury of Purchaser, and 2,287,315 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the grant of equity awards under Purchaser Equity Compensation Plans. Since September 1, 2016 through the date of this Agreement, there have been no issuances of Purchaser Equity Securities or other securities of Purchaser other than shares that were reserved for issuance pursuant to Purchaser Equity Compensation Plans. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Purchaser are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

b.Except for Purchaser Equity Securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Purchaser Equity Compensation Plans as set forth in Section 5.3(a) and as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no (and no plans to issue) outstanding warrants, options, Contracts, subscriptions, redemptions, profit participations, stock appreciation, phantom stock, rights of first offer or refusal, anti-dilution rights, preemptive rights or other rights, convertible or exchangeable securities or other commitments, whether written or oral, pursuant to which Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become obligated to issue, sell, purchase, return, redeem or otherwise acquire any Purchaser Equity Securities or other securities of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, and no equity interests of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries are reserved for issuance for any purpose. There are no voting trusts, stockholder agreements, Liens, proxies or other rights or Contracts in effect with respect to the voting, transfer or dividend rights of Purchaser’s capital





stock to which Purchaser is a party or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, between or among Purchaser’s stockholders. The issuance of shares of Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to the Share Consideration will not obligate Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries to issue Purchaser Equity Securities or other securities of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to any Person (other than Seller Parent or its Affiliates) and will not result in a right of any holder of Purchaser’s securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities.

c.Section 5.3(c) of the Purchaser Disclosure Letter includes a list of all of the Subsidiaries of Purchaser. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each Significant Subsidiary have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned directly or indirectly by Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens, other than applicable restrictions arising under securities Laws. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries directly or indirectly owns any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity that is or would reasonably be expected to be material to Purchaser and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

d.Purchaser has no outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations, the holders of which have the right to vote (or are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of Purchaser on any matter.

The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, constitute a default under, or result in the breach or termination, cancellation or acceleration (whether after the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both) of any right or obligation of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates under any material Contract to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party or is subject, or (iii) assuming compliance with the matters set forth in Sections 4.5 and 5.5, violate or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any Law or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which Purchaser is subject, except, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) for any violations, breaches, conflicts, defaults, terminations, cancellations or accelerations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.5    Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser does not require any Approval of, or Filing with, any Governmental Authority, except for (i) the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) the Approvals and Filings set forth in Annex C, (iii) the notice or application to the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the acquisition and issuance of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock constituting the Share Consideration for trading thereon, and (iv) such other the Approvals and Filings which if not obtained or made would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.7    Available Funds.

a.Purchaser has delivered to Seller Parent true, correct and complete fully executed copies of the commitment letter, dated as of October 6, 2016, among Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Barclays Bank PLC, including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments to such letter in effect as of the date of this Agreement and including the fee letter (in a redacted form removing only the fee amounts and economic information, but which redacted fee amounts and economic information does not relate to the amounts or conditionality of, or contain any conditions precedent to, the funding of the Financing) (collectively, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which, subject only to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, each of the parties thereto (other than Purchaser) has severally committed to lend the amounts set forth therein (the provision of such funds as set forth therein, the “Financing”) for the purposes set forth in such Commitment Letter. The Commitment Letter has not been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the respective commitments contained in the Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, rescinded, amended, restated or otherwise modified in any respect prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in each case, no such amendment, restatement, modification or waiver is contemplated. The Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Purchaser and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity. There are no conditions or contingencies (including pursuant to any “flex” provisions) related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing pursuant to the Commitment Letter, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter, the net proceeds contemplated from the Financing, together with other financial resources of Purchaser, including cash on hand and marketable securities of Purchaser, shall, in the aggregate, be sufficient for the satisfaction of all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of the Final Purchase Price and all fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection herewith. No event has occurred which would constitute a breach or default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach) on the part of Purchaser or its Affiliates or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, on the part of any other party to the Commitment Letter, or the failure of any condition, on the part of Purchaser or its Affiliates under the Commitment Letter or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto or would otherwise result in any portion of the Financing to be unavailable. Assuming the accuracy of Seller Parent’s representations and warranties hereunder such that the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) would be satisfied, as of the date hereof, Purchaser has no reason to believe (both before and after giving effect to any “flex” provisions contained in the Commitment Letter) that any of the conditions to the Financing shall not be satisfied on a timely basis on or prior to the Closing, or that the Financing or any other funds necessary for the satisfaction of all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and of all fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection herewith shall not be available to Purchaser on the Closing Date. There are no side letters or other Contracts, instruments or other commitments, obligations or arrangements (whether written or oral) related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter and delivered to Seller Parent prior to the date of this





Agreement. Purchaser has fully paid all commitment fees and other amounts required to be paid on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the Financing, and Purchaser represents that any other fees or other amounts that are due under the Commitment Letter are required to be paid no earlier than the Closing.

b.Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the consummation of the Financing shall not be a condition to the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date.

Section 5.8    Share Consideration. The Share Consideration shall be, at the time of issuance, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens and will not be issued in breach or violation of any preemptive rights or Contract. Assuming the accuracy of Seller Parent’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.23, the issuance of the Share Consideration in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and otherwise issued in compliance with all Laws.

Section 5.9    Securities Act. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, any applicable state securities Law or any applicable foreign securities Laws, and that such Shares may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities Act or applicable foreign securities Laws or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom and pursuant to state securities Laws as applicable. Purchaser (either alone or together with its Representatives) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Shares and is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment.

Section 5.10    No Litigation. There is no material action, order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree outstanding, or suit, litigation, proceeding, labor dispute (other than routine grievance procedures or routine, uncontested claims for benefits under any benefit plans for any officers, employees or agents of Purchaser), arbitration, investigation or reported claim, pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened, before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator, which seeks to delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or would, if adversely determined, materially impair or delay the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is subject to any outstanding decree of any Governmental Order which would, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair or delay the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, other than any such Governmental Order after the date hereof relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.






Section 5.11    Brokers. Except as set forth in Section 5.11 of the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Purchaser. Purchaser is solely responsible for any such fees and expenses.

Section 5.12    Solvency. Assuming satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a), immediately after the Closing, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their respective Subsidiaries) will be Solvent. No transfer of property is being made, and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent of Purchaser to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Purchaser, any Seller or any Conveyed Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries.

Section 5.13    SEC Reports; Financial Statements.

a.Purchaser has filed with or furnished to the SEC all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished by Purchaser under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, and the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ for the three-year period preceding the date of this Agreement (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, , being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

b.The financial statements of Purchaser included (or incorporated by reference) in the SEC Reports (including the notes thereto) comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Purchaser and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments. Since January 1, 2015, Purchaser has not made any change in the accounting practices and policies applied in the preparation of its financial statements, except as required by GAAP, SEC rule or policy or applicable Law. No financial statements of any Person other than Purchaser are required by GAAP to be included in the financial statements of Purchaser.

Section 5.14    Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. Purchaser maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under





the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Purchaser’s financial reporting and the preparation of Purchaser’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Purchaser’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are adequate and effective to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by Purchaser in the reports it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Purchaser’s management has completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of Purchaser’s internal controls over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, and has concluded that such internal controls were effective. Purchaser has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation of Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting prior to the date of this Agreement, to Purchaser’s auditors and audit committee (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting. Purchaser’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of Purchaser’s disclosure controls and procedures and, to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable SEC Report that is a report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or any amendment thereto, filed prior to the date of this Agreement, its conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation (and as of the most recent evaluation, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective). Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, there have been no material changes in such controls or in other factors that would reasonably be expected to materially affect disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Section 5.15    Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Purchaser Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and Purchaser has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of Purchaser Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has Purchaser received any written notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. Purchaser is in material compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements and any other applicable rules and regulations of the NASDAQ.

subject to, any liability or other obligation to Seller Parent, its Affiliates or Representatives or any other Person resulting from the issuance of the Share Consideration to Seller Parent or Seller Parent’s use of, or the use by any of its Affiliates or Representatives of any information, including information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Seller Parent, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives in a virtual data room, management presentations, offering materials, site tours or visits, diligence calls or meetings or any documents prepared by, or on behalf of, Purchaser or its Affiliates, unless any such information is expressly and specifically included in a representation or warranty contained in this Article V.

c.Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.4:

i.Purchaser and its Affiliates, and Seller Parent with respect to Section 6.4(a) only, shall, with respect to the execution of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (A) as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, file any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act, and (B) as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, submit all necessary Filings with the Governmental Antitrust Authorities set forth in Annex C and Section 6.4(c) of the Purchaser Disclosure Letter;

iii.Purchaser, its Affiliates, and Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall each promptly respond to any formal or informal requests for additional information or documentary material that may be made to such Party by a Governmental Antitrust Authority, and in the case of a formal request for additional information and documentary material under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law (to the extent applicable), to certify substantial compliance therewith to the extent necessary to obtain HSR Act clearance or clearance under any other applicable Antitrust Law;

iv.In addition to the foregoing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost, take or cause to be taken any and all actions necessary or required to avoid, eliminate and resolve each and every impediment and obtain all Approvals under Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Antitrust Authority with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements and, in respect of any Filings in jurisdictions outside of the U.S., Purchaser and its Affiliates shall enter into discussions with the relevant Governmental Antitrust Authority regarding actions necessary or required to avoid, eliminate and resolve any impediment to avoid the imposition of a Phase II investigation or equivalent and to obtain necessary Approvals, in order to allow the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement but in any event prior to the Outside Date, including, to the extent so necessary or required, proposing, negotiating, offering to commit and effect (and if such offer is accepted, committing to and effecting) through order, consent decree, settlement or otherwise, to (A) license, sell, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Purchased Assets, the Shares or any Subsidiary, operations, divisions, specific assets or categories of assets, specific products or categories of products, product lines, or businesses of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (or any Subsidiary thereof) or the Business or of Purchaser or its Affiliates (whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Purchaser or its Affiliates), (B) terminate any existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations of Purchaser, its Affiliates, the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) and any such relationship, rights or obligations that form part of the Purchased Assets, (C) amend or terminate any licenses or other Intellectual Property agreements of Purchaser, its Affiliates, the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) and any such licenses or agreements that form a part of the Purchased Assets and enter into such new licenses or other Intellectual Property agreements, and (D) take any actions or make any behavioral commitments that may limit or modify Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’, or the Conveyed Subsidiaries’ (or any of their Subsidiaries’) rights of ownership in, or ability to conduct the business of, one or more of its operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers or assets, including, after the Closing, those of the Business or any of the Purchased Assets, in each case, to the minimum extent necessary so as to permit and cause the





condition set forth in Section 8.1(b) to be satisfied by the Outside Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser shall keep Seller Parent reasonably informed of all matters, discussions and activities relating to any of the matters described in or contemplated by clauses (A) through (D) of this Section 6.4(c)(iv). For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Purchaser or any of its Affiliates be required to take any action (or not take any action) that has not been made a requirement or condition by a Governmental Antitrust Authority to the Closing; and

v.In the event that any Action is threatened or commenced, or a permanent or preliminary injunction or other Governmental Order is threatened or entered, that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements unlawful or that would prevent or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, other than in connection with any injunctive or other non-monetary relief, Purchaser shall promptly take any and all actions and steps (including the defense against or appeal thereof, the posting of a bond and the taking of the steps contemplated by this Section 6.4(c)(v)) necessary to resist and contest such proceeding and to have vacated, modified, reversed or suspended such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation by the Outside Date.

d.Each of Seller Parent and Purchaser shall to the extent permitted by applicable Antitrust Law (i) promptly notify the other Party of, and, if in writing, provide to the other Party copies of (or in the case of material oral communications, advise the other orally of) all material communication between it (or its Representatives) and any Governmental Antitrust Authority relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements or any of the matters described in this Section 6.4, (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other and incorporate the other’s comments in connection with, any Filings, notifications, or material communication (whether written or oral) with any Governmental Antitrust Authority, including any presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or proposals, (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, not participate in any telephone calls or meetings with a Governmental Antitrust Authority regarding the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements or any of the matters described in this Section 6.4 without consulting with the other in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Antitrust Authority, giving the other Party a reasonable opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall control and have the authority to make the ultimate determinations regarding all matters related to the defense of this Agreement before any Governmental Antitrust Authority, including which Governmental Antitrust Authorities will receive notifications for this Agreement.

e.In the event an Approval of a Governmental Antitrust Authority (other than a Governmental Antitrust Authority of the United States of America or set forth in Annex C hereto) having jurisdiction that is necessary to lawfully consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is not obtained





on or prior to the date on which the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(b) and 8.2 (excluding conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing) shall have been satisfied or waived, Purchaser and Seller Parent agree, subject to the limitations imposed by applicable Law, to effect the Closing (including payment of the full Preliminary Purchase Price), subject to the terms of this Agreement, with respect to all Shares, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities outside of the jurisdiction of any such Governmental Antitrust Authority; provided, however, that the obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 6.4 shall continue with respect to any such Approval that has not been obtained until such Approval is obtained, and upon obtaining such Approval, the Parties shall effect the transfer of the affected Shares, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities in accordance with the Local Implementing Agreements for the jurisdiction relating thereto; provided, further, that none of the Purchased Assets located in, or licensors, suppliers, distributors, customers and others having business relationships with the Business operating in, or Product Registrations, Manufacturing Registrations, Environmental Permits, or Governmental Authorizations registered in such jurisdiction of any such Governmental Antitrust Authority is material to the Business. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each such transfer, upon its occurrence, shall be retroactive to and be deemed to have occurred on the Closing Date. With respect to any such Approval that has not been obtained as described in this Section 6.4(e), as of the Closing Date, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, enter into mutually agreeable alternative business arrangements consistent with the terms of this Agreement or other arrangements which provide Purchaser with the “net economic benefit” or loss of the affected Conveyed Subsidiaries (or Subsidiaries thereof) and Purchased Assets from and after the Closing Date and continuing until any such Approval is obtained. Seller Parent will defend, indemnity and hold harmless Purchaser and any of its Affiliates for and against any Liabilities arising out of or relating to any such alternative business arrangement.

f.Neither Seller Parent nor Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates shall acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into, consolidating with, by purchasing all or a portion of the assets of or all or a portion of the equity in, any entity owning or having any rights in any business of the type and character of, or that competes with, all or any part of, the Business, or take any other action, including entering into, or agreeing to enter into, any material license, joint venture or other agreement or transaction, which would reasonably be expected to, in each case or in the aggregate, (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining the expiration, termination or waiver of any applicable waiting period or any consent, approval, permit, ruling, authorization or clearance pursuant to the Antitrust Laws necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Antitrust Authority entering an injunction or order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on injunction on appeal or otherwise, or (iv) delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements.

During the course of all such discussions, the Parties shall cooperate with each other and all reasonable requests made by one Party to the other for information, including requests for copies of relevant documents, will be honored. In the





event that any disagreement is not resolved by the Parties within fifteen (15) days following delivery of the written notice mentioned above, the Parties may seek any remedies to which they may be entitled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that nothing herein shall prevent either Party from initiating proceedings in accordance with this Agreement if such Party would be substantially harmed by a failure to act during the time that such good faith efforts are being made to resolve the disagreement through negotiation or if the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would reasonably be expected to be delayed.

Section 6.6    Tax Matters.

a.Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns. Seller Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all (i) Tax Returns of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) required to be filed for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that is not part of a Straddle Period, (ii) Consolidated Tax Returns of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) that include a Conveyed Subsidiary (or a Subsidiary thereof) required to be filed for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) Tax Returns of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) that include or reflect the Purchased Assets required to be filed for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in the case of the Tax Returns described in clause (i) or (ii) on a basis consistent with past practice of the applicable taxpayer, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. In the case of any Tax Return that is described in the immediately preceding sentence and is required to be filed after the Closing by a Conveyed Subsidiary (or a Subsidiary thereof), Purchaser shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed, such Tax Return as prepared by Seller Parent, provided, that such Tax Return was delivered to Purchaser at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, or five (5) Business Days in the case of a non-Income Tax Return (in each case taking into account any applicable extensions), together with any supporting information that Purchaser reasonably requests in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1, for Purchaser’s review and comment. If Purchaser disputes any item on such Tax Return that (A) in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, is not supportable under applicable Law or (B) could increase the Tax liability of, or reduce any Tax benefit available to, Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) for any Post-Closing Tax Period, then Purchaser shall notify Seller Parent of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for the objection. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the relevant Tax Return is required to be filed. If Purchaser and Seller Parent cannot resolve any such disputed item, then the item in question shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant, the fees of which shall be shared based on the principles of Section 2.10(d). If such dispute process is not completed by the due date for the applicable Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions), such Tax return shall be filed with only such revisions as have been agreed to by Seller Parent; provided, however, that following the resolution of any dispute, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall make any necessary amendments to such Tax Return. Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all other Tax Returns required to be filed by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries after the Closing, including those in respect of





the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries), the Purchased Assets or the Business. With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed by Purchaser for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller Parent for its approval, at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return, or five (5) Business Days in the case of a non-Income Tax Return (in each case taking into account any applicable extensions), a statement setting forth the amount of Tax for which Seller Parent is responsible pursuant to Sections 6.6(e)(i) and 6.6(e)(iii) and a copy of such Tax Return, together with any additional information that Seller Parent reasonably requests, for Seller Parent’s review and comment. Purchaser shall reflect on the filed Tax Return any reasonable comment regarding any pre-Closing item on such Tax Return submitted by Seller Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Return or three (3) Business Days in the case of a non-Income Tax Return. If Purchaser disputes such comment or Seller Parent disputes any other item on such Tax Return, then the disputing Party shall notify the other Party of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for the objection. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the relevant Tax Return is required to be filed. If Purchaser and Seller Parent cannot resolve any disputed item, then the item in question shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant, the fees of which shall be shared based on principles of Section 2.10(d). If such dispute process is not completed by the due date for the applicable Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions), such Tax Return shall be filed by Purchaser with Seller Parent’s comments to the pre-Closing items and such other revisions as have been agreed with Seller Parent; provided, however, that following the resolution of any dispute Purchaser shall make any necessary amendments to such Tax Return. Any Tax Return of a Conveyed Subsidiary (or a Subsidiary thereof) for a Straddle Period shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be filed on the basis that the relevant Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Except as required by applicable Law, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including any Conveyed Subsidiary and Subsidiaries thereof) shall file an amended Tax Return, or agree to any waiver or extension of the statute of limitations, relating to Taxes with respect to any Conveyed Subsidiary (and Subsidiaries thereof), the Purchased Assets or the Business for a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Seller Parent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Party that is legally required to file any Tax Return or other document with respect to Transfer Taxes shall timely file such Tax Return or document, including timely complying with state bulk sale notification requirements or other similar notification requirements, such as obtaining Tax clearance certificates (and the other Party shall cooperate with respect thereto).

b.Except for Taxes that are accrued or reserved for in the Final Closing Statement, Seller Parent shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns described in Sections 6.6(a)(i) and 6.6(a)(ii) and all Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns for Straddle Periods for which Seller Parent is responsible pursuant to Sections 6.6(e)(i) and 6.6(e)(iii). Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns which Purchaser is obligated to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, pursuant to Section 6.6(a), or otherwise with respect to the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and Subsidiaries thereof), the Purchased Assets and the Business for any Post-Closing Tax Period, and which Seller Parent is not obligated to pay pursuant to the preceding sentence.

c.Carryforwards and Carrybacks. Purchaser shall cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to carryforward any Tax





asset, including any net capital loss, net operating loss, foreign Tax credit, charitable contribution credit or research and development credit, arising after the Closing Date that could, whether in the absence of an election or otherwise, be carried back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall take, and cause its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) to take, all steps necessary to achieve such carryforward, including by making all necessary elections. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law, Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby waives any right to use or apply in any Pre-Closing Tax Period any Tax asset, including any net capital loss, net operating loss, foreign Tax credit, charitable contribution credit or research and development credit, of any Conveyed Subsidiary arising in any Post-Closing Tax Period.

d.Refunds. Seller Parent shall be entitled to retain, or receive immediate payment from Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and Subsidiaries thereof) with respect to, any refund, credit or other similar benefit received or realized with respect to Taxes attributable to any Conveyed Subsidiary (and Subsidiaries thereof), the Purchased Assets or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (to the extent such Taxes were paid by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (excluding after the Closing the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries)), including any such amounts arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date, net of any cost to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund, credit or other similar benefit; provided, however, that Seller Parent shall not be entitled to any refund, credit or other similar benefit to the extent such refund, credit or other similar benefit (i) arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax benefit from a Post-Closing Tax Period or (ii) was included as an asset in the Final Closing Statement. In connection with the foregoing, if Seller Parent determines that any of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (or Subsidiaries thereof) is entitled to file or make a formal or informal claim for a refund of Taxes (including by filing an amended Tax Return) with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller Parent shall be entitled to file or make, or to request that Purchaser cause the applicable Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) to file or make, such formal or informal claim for refund, and Seller Parent shall be entitled to control the prosecution of such claim for refund at its own expense, in which case Purchaser shall have the same rights with respect to Seller Parent’s control of such claim as if the claim were governed by Section 6.6(f)(ii). Purchaser shall cooperate, and cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries to cooperate, with respect to such claim for refund, and shall pay, or cause the relevant Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) to pay, to Seller Parent the amount (including interest) of any related refund, credit or other similar benefit received or realized by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof (including any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof), net of any cost to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund, credit or other similar benefit, within five (5) days of receipt (or realization) thereof. Purchaser and the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries shall be entitled to retain, or receive immediate payment from Seller Parent with respect to, any refund, credit or other similar benefit received or realized with respect to Taxes attributable to any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof, Purchased Assets or the Business for a Post-Closing Tax Period, net of any cost to Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund, credit or other similar benefit. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall equitably apportion any refund, credit or other similar benefit received or realized with respect to Taxes attributable to any Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof), the





Purchased Assets or the Business for a Straddle Period in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in Section 6.6(e)(iii).

e.Tax Indemnification.

i.Except as otherwise provided herein, from and after the Closing, Seller Parent agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) from and against all liability, without duplication, for (1) Taxes of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Taxes resulting from the Internal Restructurings or any of the transactions contemplated by Sections 2.4(b) and 6.2(c), Taxes that may not be known at the time of the Closing or Taxes resulting from transfer pricing adjustments); (2) Taxes of Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent arising directly from, or directly relating to, the Purchased Assets or the Business; (3) Taxes of another Person (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) for which the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries are liable (i) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or a similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) due to joining in the filing of a Consolidated Tax Return with such Person on or before the Closing, (ii) as a result of being a transferee or successor of such Person, or otherwise, on or before or as a result of the Closing pursuant to any Law or (iii) pursuant to a Tax sharing or indemnity agreement or similar agreement (other than agreements or arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice as arm’s length commercial agreements or arrangements that do not relate primarily to Taxes, such as loan or leasing agreements) to which the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries and such Person were a party on or before the Closing; (4) Taxes of Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) imposed on Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of being a transferee or successor of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) on or before, or as a result of, the Closing pursuant to any Law; (5) Taxes of Purchaser and its Affiliates resulting from the breach by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.16(i) and (n) or any covenants in Sections 6.2(b)(xi) and 6.6 (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a breach of any representation or warranty other than those specified in this clause (5)); and (6) any Transfer Taxes for which Seller Parent or its Affiliates are liable pursuant to Section 6.6(h) (the “Excluded Taxes”); provided, however, that (i) Seller Parent’s indemnity obligation for Taxes pursuant to this Section 6.6(e) shall be reduced by the amount of any refunds of Taxes with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the extent received after the Closing Date by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) and not remitted to Seller Parent pursuant to Section 6.6(d) prior to the date on which Seller Parent is required to make the applicable indemnity payment hereunder (it being understood that Purchaser shall no longer be required to pay over such refund of Taxes to Seller Parent pursuant to Section 6.6(d) to the extent of any such reduction); (ii) Seller Parent shall not





defend, indemnify or hold harmless Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) from any liability for Taxes that would otherwise give rise to a Seller Parent Tax indemnity obligation under this Section 6.6(e), attributable to (A) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) making, changing or revoking any Tax election, adopting or changing any Tax accounting method, changing any Tax accounting period, settling or compromising any Tax Claim, or entering into any Tax allocation agreement, Tax sharing agreement, Tax indemnity agreement or closing agreement relating to any Tax, in each case for a Post-Closing Tax Period that has a retroactive or retrospective effect on any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (B) any disclosure by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, with respect to actions taken after the Closing, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) on Schedule UTP (Uncertain Tax Position Statement) or any successor form contemplated by Treasury Regulation Section 1.6012-2, excluding in each case any such action (x) effected with the written consent of Seller Parent (which consent shall include any consent of Seller Parent to filing any Tax Return pursuant to Section 6.6(a), requesting a Tax refund pursuant to Section 6.6(d) or settling any Tax Claim pursuant to Section 6.6(f), in each case that clearly reflects such action), or (y) that is required by applicable Law based on written reasoned advice of internationally recognized tax counsel, which counsel may include an independent accounting firm, and which counsel is reasonably acceptable to Seller Parent (any action covered by the immediately preceding clause (A) or (B), a “Purchaser Tax Act”); and (iii) Seller Parent shall not defend, indemnify or hold harmless Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) from any liability for, (A) any Transfer Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes, (B) Taxes up to the aggregate amount of Taxes that constitute Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.5(c) that are included as liabilities in the Final Closing Statement, or (C) Taxes attributable to a breach by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

b. Sellers that are not based on income or receipts (e.g., real property Taxes and personal property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed based upon the ratio of the number of days of such Straddle Period in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; and

c.Taxes of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) and, to the extent attributable to the Purchased Assets, the Asset Sellers for the Pre-Closing Tax Period, other than Taxes described in Section 6.6(e)(iii)(A) above, shall be computed as if such Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date and, in the case of any Taxes of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) and the Asset Sellers attributable to the ownership of any equity interest in any partnership or other “flowthrough” entity, as if the Tax period of such partnership or other “flowthrough” entity ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

iv.Any indemnity payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.6(e) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the Party seeking indemnification under this Section 6.6(e) (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) makes written demand upon the Party from whom indemnification is sought under this Section 6.6(e) (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”), but in no case later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority.

v.Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the purchase price paid by Purchaser for the relevant Conveyed Subsidiary or Purchased Asset, as the case may be, unless otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law or a Final Determination or as mutually agreed by the Parties. Each of the Parties shall notify the other Parties if it receives notice that any Taxing Authority proposes to treat any indemnification payment under this Agreement as other than an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes.

vi.The indemnification obligations of Seller Parent and Purchaser under this Section 6.6(e) shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.16(i) and (n) and the indemnification obligations of Seller Parent under Sections 6.6(e)(i) with respect to such representations and warranties, shall terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto shall be commenced after, the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that such indemnification obligations or representations and warranties shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which Seller Parent or Purchaser, as the case may





vii. be, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to Purchaser or Seller Parent, as the case may be.

f.Tax Contests.

i.If a Tax deficiency, proposed Tax adjustment, Tax assessment, Tax audit, Tax examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns shall be made by any Taxing Authority (a “Tax Claim”) which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 6.6(e), the Tax Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Tax Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim (and provide copies of any documents received from the Taxing Authority in respect of such claim) no later than ten (10) Business Days after such Tax Claim is made, provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Tax Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder except (i) to the extent the Tax Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby and (ii) to the extent expenses are incurred during the period in which notice was not provided.

Seller Parent does not assume the control of such Tax Claim, Purchaser shall be entitled to control such Tax Claim at Seller Parent’s sole expense, and shall (1) conduct such Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (2) consult in good faith with Seller Parent before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Claim that might adversely affect any Tax item of Seller Parent or its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or otherwise increase the amounts of indemnification for which Seller Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 6.6(e)(i), (3) consult in good faith with Seller Parent and offer Seller Parent a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting to any Taxing Authority any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Claim that might adversely affect any Tax item of Seller Parent or its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or otherwise increase the amounts of indemnification for which Seller Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 6.6(e)(i), and (4) not Dispose of such Tax Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

iii.Except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser shall control all other proceedings with respect to Tax Claims relating to Taxes of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) or Taxes otherwise relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, provided, that, except with respect to Tax Claims relating to Consolidated Tax Returns of Purchaser, Seller Parent shall have the right to participate fully in all relevant aspects of such other proceedings if the resolution of such proceedings could reasonably be expected to materially increase the Tax liability of a Conveyed Subsidiary (or a Subsidiary thereof) or the Business in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the amount of indemnification for which Seller Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 6.6(e)(i) and in such case, Purchaser shall not Dispose of such Tax Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

iv.Purchaser, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller Parent and its respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall cooperate in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include the retention and, upon request, the provision to the requesting Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 6.6(f). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) Seller Parent shall not be required to provide Purchaser with a copy, or otherwise disclose the contents, of any Consolidated Tax Return of Seller Parent; provided, however, that if such Tax Return relates to Purchaser’s Tax liability for a Post-Closing Tax Period, Seller Parent shall provide reasonable access to the relevant information contained in such Tax Return to Purchaser (including, at Seller Parent’s sole





discretion, by way of providing excerpted parts of such Tax Return, redacted in the manner Seller Parent deems necessary) and (B) Purchaser shall not be required to provide Seller Parent with a copy, or otherwise disclose the contents, of any Consolidated Tax Return of Purchaser; provided, however, that if such Tax Return relates to Seller Parent’s Tax liability for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Purchaser shall provide reasonable access to the relevant information contained in such Tax Return to Seller Parent (including, at Purchaser’s sole discretion, by way of providing excerpted parts of such Tax Return, redacted in the manner Purchaser deems necessary).

g.Internal Restructurings. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, effective from a date on or prior to the Closing Date, to (i) implement the transactions described in Schedule 4 hereto (provided that Seller Parent shall consult with and consider in good faith the input of Purchaser on the timing, structure and other details of such transactions) and (ii) otherwise restructure any Conveyed Subsidiary, Asset Seller or Share Seller, including by transferring any stock, assets, employee or other interests held by (or in) any Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof), Asset Seller or Share Seller as the case may be (the “Internal Restructurings”); provided that Seller Parent shall not engage in any Internal Restructuring described in clause (ii) without obtaining the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being understood that it would not be reasonable for Purchaser to withhold, condition or delay its consent if such Internal Restructuring would not impair in any manner or have any adverse impact on (x) the Business or the Purchased Assets or the anticipated value to Purchaser of such Business or Purchased Assets (in a manner more adverse than any impairment or impact that would have otherwise resulted had the action or transaction been effected in accordance with the transactions contemplated pursuant to clause (i) above), (y) the right and ability of Purchaser and any applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliate to own and operate the Business and the Purchased Assets following the Closing, or (z) the ability of Seller Parent, the Share Sellers and the Asset Sellers to consummate the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

h.Transfer Tax. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Transfer Taxes shall be borne and paid equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller Parent, on the other hand, when due.

i.VAT.

i.Subject to Section 6.6(i)(ii) and except as otherwise provided in the Local Implementing Agreements, any VAT payable with respect to the transfer of the Shares or the Purchased Assets from the Share Sellers or Asset Sellers to Purchaser or any Purchaser Designated Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be payable by Purchaser or its Affiliates in addition to the purchase price stated in such Local Implementing Agreement and Purchaser or its Affiliates shall, subject to receipt from Seller Parent or such Share Seller or Asset Seller of a valid VAT invoice, pay to Seller Parent or such Share Seller or Asset Seller the amount of VAT payable in respect of





that transaction (unless the transfer is subject to a reverse charge scheme in line with Article 194 et seq. of the VAT Directive or, for non EU countries, a Law to the same effect). If VAT is paid pursuant to the preceding sentence and it is later determined by any Taxing Authority that the transfer of the Shares or the Purchased Assets from a Share Seller or Asset Seller to Purchaser or any Purchaser Designated Affiliate, as the case may be, is not subject to VAT and, accordingly, a refund or credit in respect of such VAT is obtained by Seller Parent, Share Seller or Asset Seller (or any member of any VAT group to which Seller Parent, Share Seller or Asset Seller belongs), then Seller Parent, Share Seller or Asset Seller (as relevant) shall, promptly upon written demand made by Purchaser or Purchaser Designated Affiliate (as relevant), repay to Purchaser or the Purchaser Designated Affiliate, as the case may be, the amount of any such VAT that was refunded or in respect of which credit was given by the relevant Taxing Authority. In the event of a repayment of such VAT or in the event that the consideration for the relevant taxable supply changes following a payment of VAT pursuant to Section 6.6(i)(i) (whether as a result of the operation of Section 2.10 or otherwise), the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to issue such invoices or credit notes or to make such payments or repayments of VAT as would properly reflect the correct amount of VAT attributable to the relevant taxable supply.

ii.The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other to determine, at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing whether the transfer of the Shares or the Purchased Assets from the Share Sellers or Asset Sellers to Purchaser or any Purchaser Designated Affiliate, as the case may be, meets the requirements for VAT exemption or zero-rating for VAT purpose as the supply of a going concern, or pursuant to Article 44 of the VAT Directive, or pursuant to any other applicable Law. If such requirements are met, then the provisions of Section 6.6(i)(i) shall not apply and instead Seller Parent and the applicable Share Seller or Asset Seller, as the case may be, and Purchaser and its Affiliates, as the case may be, agree that the transaction evidenced by such agreement is exempt or zero-rated (as applicable) for VAT purposes. Such cooperation shall include the prompt provision of any applicable VAT registration details of the Share Sellers, the Asset Sellers, Purchaser, and the Purchaser Designated Affiliates, as needed, and other relevant details for such exemption or zero-rating for VAT purposes. If it is later determined by any Taxing Authority that the transfer of the Shares or the Purchased Assets from a Share Seller or Asset Seller to Purchaser or any Purchaser Designated Affiliate, as the case may be, is subject to VAT, the VAT will, as between the relevant Share Seller or Asset Seller and Purchaser or its Affiliates, as the case may be, be payable by Purchaser or its Affiliates in addition to the purchase price stated in such Local Implementing Agreement and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall, promptly upon written demand made by Seller Parent or such Share Seller or Asset Seller (such demand being accompanied by, or taking the form of, a valid VAT invoice issued by such Share Seller or Asset Seller to Purchaser or its Affiliates, as the case may be), pay to Seller Parent or such Share Seller or Asset Seller, as the case may be, the amount of VAT payable in respect of that transfer.





j.Miscellaneous.

i.Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Affiliate (including any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof) to, take any action on the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, except as required by this Agreement or applicable Law or with Seller Parent’s consent.

ii.On the Closing Date, all Tax sharing agreements and arrangements between any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof), on the other hand, shall be terminated effective as of the close of business on the Closing Date and shall have no further effect for any Tax period (whether past, present or future), and, after the Closing Date, no additional payments shall be made thereunder with respect to any Tax period, whether in respect of a redetermination of Liabilities for Taxes or otherwise. Seller Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to ensure that each such termination is effective in the manner described above.

iii.Each of Purchaser and Seller Parent shall provide the other with such information and records, and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available, as may reasonably be requested by such other Party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or the conduct of any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes of the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, the Purchased Assets or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period. Purchaser shall, within the earlier to occur of one hundred twenty (120) days after Seller Parent’s year-end and one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, prepare, or cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) to prepare, in either case in a manner consistent with the Conveyed Subsidiaries’ (and their Subsidiaries’) past practices, all Tax work paper preparation packages necessary to enable Seller Parent to prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns that Seller Parent is obligated to prepare, or cause to be prepared, under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.6, Seller Parent shall not be required to provide Purchaser with a copy of, or otherwise disclose the contents of, any Consolidated Tax Return of Seller Parent, and Purchaser shall not be required to provide Seller Parent with a copy of, or otherwise disclose the contents of, any Consolidated Tax Return of Purchaser.

iv.From and after the date of this Agreement and to the earlier of the Closing Date and the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, at the request of Purchaser, Seller Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s cost, in taking any actions needed in order to preserve the validity of the Costa Rica Free Zone Exemption Grant described in Section 4.16(i)(1) of the Seller Disclosure Letter and/or the Dominican Republic Free Zone Exemption Grant described in Section 4.16(i)(2) of the Seller Disclosure Letter; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt that nothing in this Section shall





be construed as a representation or warranty of Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries with respect to the continuing validity of such Dominican Republic Free Zone Exemption Grant.

v.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, indemnification for any and all Tax matters and the procedures with respect thereto shall be governed exclusively by this Section 6.6 and shall not be governed by the provisions of Section 6.21 or Article VII, other than Section 7.5 (solely with respect to any Tax for which indemnification is provided under Section 6.6(e)(i)(5) for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.16(i) and Section 4.16(n), and treating for purposes of Section 7.5 any such Tax as a Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 7.1(a)(iii)), Section 7.6 (treating for purposes of Section 7.6 (i) any Tax for which indemnification is provided under Section 6.6(e) as a Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 and (ii) the Tax Indemnified Party and the Tax Indemnifying Party as an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party, respectively) and Section 7.9.

Section 6.7    Employees and Employee Benefits.

a.Business Employees - Offer of Continued Employment; Severance. Purchaser agrees to continue employment as of 12:01 a.m. (local time wherever applicable) on the Closing Date of each Business Employee (or to cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries to continue the employment of each of their Business Employees). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, as of the Closing Purchaser, or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliate, shall, to the extent required by applicable Law, assume the Collective Bargaining Agreements and shall continue all terms and conditions (including the terms and conditions of employment for covered Business Employees) under such assumed Collective Bargaining Agreements through their respective expiration, modification or termination in conformity with such Collective Bargaining Agreements and applicable Law. Seller Parent and Purchaser shall work together in good faith prior to the Closing to satisfy any notice or consultation obligations to any labor union, labor organization, or works council that may be triggered by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to the right of any Business Employee (non-U.S.) of an Asset Seller employed in a jurisdiction where the ARD applies to object to the transfer of his or her employment pursuant to the ARD, the Parties expect the employment of any Business Employee (non-U.S.) employed in such jurisdiction to transfer from the relevant Asset Seller to the relevant Affiliate of Purchaser pursuant to the ARD with effect from the Closing Date. The Parties will comply, and will procure that their respective Affiliates will comply, with their obligations pursuant to the ARD. Seller Parent will reasonably assist, and procure that its Affiliates assist, Purchaser and its Affiliates in effecting the transfer of employment of Business Employees (non-U.S.) of Asset Sellers to whom the ARD does not apply to the Purchaser or its appropriate Affiliates effective as of 12:01 am on the Closing Date.

b.Continued Employee Benefits. Subject and in addition to the requirements imposed by the ARD or other applicable Law, commencing as of the Closing Date and continuing through





at least September 30, 2017, Purchaser agrees to provide, or to cause its Affiliates to provide, the Transferred Employees while employed with (i) a base salary or wage rate at least equal to the base salary or wage rate and target bonus opportunity as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefit plans and arrangements including severance plans and arrangements that are substantially comparable in the aggregate, and individually with respect to severance plans and arrangements, (excluding defined benefit pensions, retiree medical and equity compensation for this purpose) to the employee benefit plans and arrangements and severance plans and arrangements that are provided to the Business Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date (disregarding the Plans set forth in Section 4.17(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter for this purpose). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Purchaser to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee for any reason after the Closing Date.

c.Purchaser Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall assume the following Liabilities, but excluding any Liabilities, in relation to an employee of Seller Parent or its Affiliates who does not become a Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date (other than as described in clause (iv) below): (i) in each case, whether incurred prior to, on or following the Closing Date, under the (A) Collective Bargaining Agreements but only if the Collective Bargaining Agreements are required to be assumed by Law pursuant to Section 6.7(a) and (B) Company Plans (including the Company Plans that have been set forth and designated as such in Section 4.17(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, whether or not material), (ii) each compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement, including all salaries or wages (including commissions, bonuses, incentive pay, overtime, premium pay, shift differentials and severance pay) accruing after the Closing Date with respect to the Transferred Employees, (iii) each compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement (including all salaries or wages, commissions, bonuses, incentive pay, overtime, premium pay, shift differentials and severance pay) transferring by Law, and (iv) any severance Liabilities incurred by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates as a result of Purchaser’s failure to offer employment to a Business Employee other than an employee of the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries, and any other Liabilities incurred by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates on or following the Closing Date as a result of Purchaser and its Affiliates failing to comply with the requirements of Section 6.7(a) and 6.7(b) or, with respect to the UK, where the Business Employee objects to the transfer of his or her employment to Purchaser pursuant to the ARD as a result of a substantial change in working conditions to his or her material detriment (collectively, the “Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities”). Purchaser agrees to reimburse Seller Parent, as soon as practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt of appropriate verification, for all costs and expenses (including workers’ compensation expenses) actually paid by Seller Parent or its Affiliates after the Closing Date as required by applicable Law or any Contract, to the extent that the Liabilities are Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities.

d.Seller Parent Retained Liabilities. Other than the Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities, Seller Parent, or its applicable Affiliate, shall, effective as of the Closing, retain or





assume all Liabilities and obligations under or relating to each Business Employee, Plan and each Foreign Plan and all Liabilities arising under or in connection with any employee benefit program, plan or arrangement sponsored or maintained by any ERISA Affiliate of any Seller.

e.Accrued Paid Time Off. Purchaser shall be responsible for and assume all accrued but unused time off entitlements, including vacation days, for Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date for their use consistent with Seller Parent’s policies in respect thereof (including with respect to carry over entitlements). Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall credit Transferred Employees with their vacation and/or paid time off benefits for use by an employee in accordance with Purchaser’s policies, taking into account the Transferred Employees’ past service credit as provided in Section 6.7(f).  

f.Service Credit. Transferred Employees also shall be provided credit by Purchaser for all service with Seller Parent and its Affiliates, to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Seller Parent and its Affiliates and any predecessor employer, under (x) all employee benefit plans, programs, policies and fringe benefits of Purchaser for purposes of eligibility and vesting (and benefit accrual with respect to Purchaser’s vacation policies), and (y) severance plans, programs and policies for purposes of calculating the amount of each such employee’s severance benefits, except to the extent that such recognition would result in the duplication of benefits.

g.Welfare Plan Obligations. Commencing as of 12:01 a.m. (local time wherever applicable) on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall include the Transferred Employees in its welfare plans (or an applicable plan maintained by a Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof) and agrees to waive any waiting periods or limitations for preexisting conditions under such welfare benefits plans (including its medical, dental, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability plans), and any other similar such plans, and shall ensure that such employees are given credit for any amounts paid toward deductibles, out-of-pocket limits or other fees on or prior to the Closing Date. Claims incurred by a Transferred Employee for welfare benefit plan services rendered as of 12:01 a.m. (local time wherever applicable) on the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of the welfare benefit plan provided by Purchaser to such employees. Claims incurred for welfare benefit plan services for Transferred Employees rendered prior to and including the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of the welfare benefit plan of Seller Parent or an Affiliate which covered such employees prior to and including the Closing Date.

h.Business Employees (U.S.) and Business Employees (non-U.S.) Absent on Disability - Offer of Employment; Continued Employment.

i.When a Business Employee (other than any such employee employed by a Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof that maintains the disability program covering such employee and other than an employee whose employment transfers by applicable Law) who is, on the Closing Date, absent as a result of a short-term disability (including a disability in connection with maternity leave), Purchaser, as appropriate, shall continue to employ or offer immediate employment to such Business Employee in the same or a comparable position to that which the Business Employee occupied before such absence. Such employees on short-term disability leave, will be subject to the same pay, benefits, severance and all other policies, plans, programs and arrangements as stipulated in this Section 6.7 for similarly-situated Business Employees.





ii.Purchaser shall continue to employ or offer immediate employment to Business Employees who are on disability leave (including short- and long-term disability leave) and (A) who are employed by a Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof that maintains the disability program covering such employee or (B) whose employment transfers by applicable Law.
iii.Any Business Employee who is on long-term disability as of the Closing Date (other than any such employee employed by a Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof that maintains the disability program covering such employee and other than an employee whose employment transfers by applicable Law) shall not become a Transferred Employee hereunder and Seller Parent shall retain all Liabilities in respect of such Business Employee.

i.401(k). Seller Parent shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities under the Hospira 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Hospira 401(k) Plan”) and the Pfizer Savings Plan (the “Seller Parent 401(k) Plan”) up to the Closing Date. Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser shall establish or maintain a defined contribution plan and trust intended to qualify under Section 401(a) and Section 501(a) of the Code that on or after the Closing Date shall cover eligible Transferred Employees and accept a contribution, in cash and in kind with respect to participant notes, to the extent attributable to any eligible rollover distribution (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of the benefit of a Transferred Employee under the Hospira 401(k) Plan or the Seller Parent 401(k) Plan. Seller Parent shall cause each Transferred Employee to be fully vested, as of the Closing, in his or her accrued benefit or account balance under the Hospira 401(k) Plan and Seller Parent 401(k) Plan.

j.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser agrees to pay, or to cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, a Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof) to pay, each Transferred Employee who is bonus-eligible pursuant to an applicable plan or program maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates, his or her annual bonus for calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs at no less than target, pro-rated to reflect time served with Seller Parent, Purchaser and/or their respective Affiliates in such calendar year following the Closing Date, which bonus shall be paid at the time that such annual bonus would normally have been paid had the Closing not occurred. To the extent that the pro rata portion of the annual bonuses, at target, that is attributable to service with Seller Parent or its Affiliates prior to the Closing is paid out by Seller Parent, no accrual for such amount will be credited to Working Capital.

k.No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Business Employee or Transferred Employee of Seller Parent or the Conveyed Subsidiaries (or Subsidiaries thereof) any benefits under any benefit plans, programs, policies or other arrangements, including severance benefits or right to employment or continued employment with Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser for any period by reason of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement, in particular this Section 6.7 are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no current or former employee, director, or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and





nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Plan, Foreign Plan or other employee benefit plan for any purpose.

Section 6.8    Reserved.

Section 6.9    Intercompany Accounts and Arrangements.

a.Seller Parent may take (or cause one or more of its Affiliates to take) such action, in compliance with all applicable Laws, as is necessary or advisable to settle, effective as of, or prior to, the Closing Date, all intercompany accounts. Except for the Ancillary Agreements, all intercompany arrangements and agreements, whether written or oral, between any Seller or any of the Retained Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be terminated and of no further force and effect after the Closing.

b.Effective as of the Closing, Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby releases Purchaser and each of its Subsidiaries (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and each Subsidiary thereof) and Affiliates (and their respective officers, directors and employees, acting in their capacities as such) from any Liability, obligation or responsibility to any of them for any and all past actions or failures to take action prior to the Closing, including any actions which may be deemed to have been negligent or grossly negligent, relating to or arising out of Contracts, sales orders, purchase orders, instruments and other commitments, obligations and arrangements with Seller Parent, any Conveyed Subsidiary or a Subsidiary thereof or the operation or conduct of any businesses, assets (including activities performed thereat) or operations managed or operated by, or operationally related to, directly or indirectly, to the Business or the Retained Businesses, except for (i) any obligation pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) any agreements or arrangements of a commercial nature entered into by and between the Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller Parent and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, not in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 6.9(a), effective as of the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and each Subsidiary thereof), hereby releases Seller Parent and each of its Affiliates (and their respective officers, directors and employees, acting in their capacity as such) from any Liability, obligation or responsibility to any of them for any and all past actions or failures to take action prior to the Closing, including any actions which may be deemed to have been negligent or grossly negligent, relating to or arising out of Contracts, sales orders, purchase orders, instruments and other commitments, obligations and arrangements with Seller Parent or a Subsidiary thereof or the operation or conduct of any businesses, assets (including activities performed thereat) or operations managed or operated by, or operationally related to, directly or indirectly, to the Business or the Retained Businesses, or relating to or arising out of Seller Parent’s or its Affiliate’s ownership of the Shares or any indebtedness of any Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) held by Seller Parent or its Affiliates, except for (i) any obligation pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) any agreements or arrangements of a commercial nature entered into by and between the Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller Parent and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, not in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.





Section 6.10    Access to Information.

a.Seller Parent and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall retain all Information relating to the Business in their possession or control for at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date or for such longer period as may be required by Law or any applicable Governmental Order. Each Party shall give at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other Party before ceasing to maintain any such Information, and each Party shall deliver to the other Party upon request any copies of such Information that they have proposed to no longer maintain.

b.Following the Closing and subject to applicable Law and the requirements of Section 6.6, the Parties will allow each other and each other’s accountants, counsel and designated representatives reasonable access to such Information of the Business and to personnel having knowledge of the whereabouts and/or contents thereof, for legitimate business reasons, including (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities Laws) by any Governmental Authority, including retention of Registration Information (including in relation to pending applications for Product Registrations and Manufacturing Registrations), (ii) to carry out its human resources functions or to establish, assume or administer its benefit plans or payroll functions, (iii) to prepare its financial statements or Tax Returns, or in order to satisfy audit, accounting or other similar requirements, and (iv) in the defense of any Action; provided, however, that this Section 6.10(b) shall not require the waiver of any attorney-client privilege or work-product doctrine. Each Party shall be entitled to recover from the other its out-of-pocket costs (including copying costs) incurred in providing such Information to the other Party. The requesting Party will hold in confidence all Confidential Information identified as such by, and obtained from, the disclosing Party or any of its Representatives.

c.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the end of the second (2nd) fiscal year following the year in which the Closing occurs (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required for Purchaser to prepare consolidated financial statements), each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, to cooperate with the other Party’s information requests to enable (i) the other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K, and (ii) the other Party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder.

Section 6.11    Mail and Other Communications. After the Closing Date, each of Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries and Purchaser and its Subsidiaries may receive mail, packages and other communications properly belonging to the other (or the other’s Subsidiaries). Accordingly, at all times after the Closing Date, each of Seller Parent and Purchaser authorizes the other and their respective Subsidiaries to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by it and not unambiguously intended for any other Party (or its Subsidiaries) or any other Party’s (or its Subsidiaries’) officers or directors, and to





retain the same to the extent that they relate to the business of the receiving Party or, to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party. The provisions of this Section 6.11 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by either Seller Parent or Purchaser to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and neither Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process purposes.

Section 6.12    Transfer of Business IP and Registrations.

a.Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and filing all instruments and documents necessary to effect the assignment of the Business IP, MedNet Rights, Product Registrations and Manufacturing Registrations to Purchaser and its Affiliates, including all costs and expenses of preparing and recording country-specific assignments and legalization of signatures (where required). Subject to the foregoing, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the foregoing as set forth in Section 6.5.

b.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, upon or prior to the Closing, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, Seller Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate to deliver to Purchaser or its designated Affiliate copies of all Business Patent Rights applications and Business Trademark Rights applications and related files concerning prosecution and maintenance, in each case to the extent in Seller Parent or its Affiliates’ possession or control and in the format maintained by Seller Parent or its Affiliates as of such date (e.g., electronic or paper files), and Product Registrations, Manufacturing Registrations, and related applications, submissions and correspondence to or from the relevant Governmental Authority via electronic submission or reputable carrier. Following the delivery of such Product Registrations, Manufacturing Registrations and the aforementioned related materials, Seller Parent and Purchaser agree to notify the relevant Governmental Authorities of the transfers of ownership of the Product Registrations from Seller Parent, its Affiliate or the Representative to Purchaser or its designated Affiliate. Such notifications to Governmental Authorities shall be in a format and with content consistent with the applicable Law and/or guidance document on point for the type of Product in question for the jurisdiction in question. Seller Parent and Purchaser also agree to update Manufacturing Registrations or other establishment and facility registration information with Governmental Authorities to reflect the change in ownership of relevant establishments and facilities from Seller Parent, its Affiliate or the Representative to Purchaser or its designated Affiliate. Such updates to Governmental Authorities shall be in a format and with content consistent with the applicable Law and/or guidance document on point for the type(s) of medical device, drug and/or food activities carried out at each establishment or facility in question for the jurisdiction in question. Seller Parent and Purchaser agree that aforementioned delivery of Product Registrations, Manufacturing Registrations, and related applications, submissions and correspondence to or from Governmental Authorities, and the aforementioned notifications and updates, shall be made within any relevant timeframe specified in the applicable Law for each jurisdiction in question.






c.Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to prepare for the transfer of any applicable Product Registrations to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliate or designee on or after the Closing Date. As soon as practicable following the date hereof, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall each nominate one representative with sufficient experience to coordinate, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, on behalf of each Party all regulatory matters relating to the transfer or issuance of Product Registrations to Purchaser or a Purchaser’s Affiliate or designee for each applicable country.

d.Seller Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that, on the Closing Date, legal title to the Product Registrations in certain countries may remain with Seller Parent or its Affiliates or third party distributors due to the requirements of applicable regulatory local Laws. Seller Parent and Purchaser further acknowledge that, notwithstanding the foregoing until such time as the legal title to the Product Registrations for such countries can be transferred to (or issued in the name of) or assumed by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliate or designee, Seller Parent or its Affiliates or third party distributors shall (use their commercially reasonable efforts to) hold such Product Registrations in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit and cost of Purchaser. Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall not be required to bear any third party cost or expense in connection with the transfer or the issuance of any Product Registration to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliate or designee, and such third party costs will be borne solely by Purchaser.

Section 6.13    Resignations. To the extent requested in writing by Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall cause each director (or member of other appropriate corporate governing body) of the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries for which such resignation is so requested to execute and deliver a letter effectuating his or her resignation as a director (or member of other appropriate corporate governing body), but not in any other capacity, of such Conveyed Subsidiaries or such Subsidiaries thereof, as the case may be, at, or effective as of, the Closing Date.

Section 6.14    No Solicitation. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any Business Employees of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) to leave the employ of Purchaser or any such Affiliate for employment with Seller Parent or its Affiliates, or violate the terms of their contracts, or any employment arrangements, with Purchaser or any such Affiliate, provided, that nothing in this Section 6.14 shall restrict or preclude the rights of Seller Parent and its Affiliates from (i) soliciting or hiring any employee who responds to a general solicitation or advertisement that is not specifically targeted or directed at the Business Employees (and nothing shall prohibit such generalized searches for employees through various means, including the use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or the engagement of search firms to engage in such searches, or posting searches on the internet) or (ii) soliciting or hiring any Business Employee whose employment has been terminated by Purchaser (including through a constructive termination, if applicable) or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries). It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 6.14 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provisions or portion of this Section 6.14 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or





unenforceable, this Section 6.14 shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 6.14 in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. The Parties recognize that the performance of the obligations under this Section 6.14 by Seller Parent is special, unique and extraordinary in character, and that in the event of the breach by Seller Parent or its Affiliates of the terms and conditions of this Section 6.14 to be performed by Seller Parent, Purchaser shall be entitled, if it so elects, to obtain damages for any breach of this Section 6.14, or to enforce the specific performance thereof by Seller Parent.

Section 6.15    Non-Competition.

a.For a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, in any country in which the Business is conducted on the date hereof and as of immediately prior to the Closing, research, develop, test, use, store, manufacture, market, commercialize, distribute, sell or service any product that is the same as a Product (collectively, the “Seller Prohibited Activities”).

b.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall not be deemed to have violated the restrictions contained in Section 6.15(a) in the event that Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates acquires or invests in:

i.any Person, or the assets thereof, if less than ten percent (10%) of the gross revenues, assets and income of such Person or assets (based on such Person’s latest annual audited consolidated financial statements) are related to or were derived from any of the Seller Prohibited Activities;

ii.any Person, or the assets thereof, if ten percent (10%) or more than ten percent (10%) of the gross revenues, assets or income of such Person or assets (based on such Person’s latest annual audited consolidated financial statements) were derived from any of the Seller Prohibited Activities; provided, that Seller Parent and its Affiliates use reasonable best efforts to divest themselves within twelve (12) months of such acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or operations so acquired that are engaged in any of the Seller Prohibited Activities;

iii.securities representing not more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting power of any Person; or

iv.any equity interest in any Person through any employee benefit plan of Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries.

c.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that none of Seller Parent, its Affiliates or any acquiring or surviving entity of a merger or consolidation shall be deemed to have violated the restrictions contained in Section 6.15(a) in the event that Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates is acquired, directly or indirectly, by any Person engaged, directly or indirectly, prior to the date of such acquisition, in any of the Seller Prohibited Activities (it being understood and agreed that, in the case of an acquisition, merger or other business combination with any such Person, Seller Parent or any Affiliate





thereof shall be deemed “acquired” only in the event that, following such acquisition, merger or other business combination, fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of the acquired, surviving or combined entity is owned, directly or indirectly, by Persons other than the shareholders of Seller Parent or their respective Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition, merger or other business combination).

d.The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.15, the provisions of this Section 6.15 shall not prohibit Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates from operating or conducting any of their respective businesses or the Retained Businesses, performing under any Ancillary Agreement, or owning or operating any Excluded Asset. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 6.15 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provisions or portion of this Section 6.15 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Section 6.15 shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 6.15 in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. The Parties recognize that the performance of the obligations under this Section 6.15 by Seller Parent is special, unique and extraordinary in character, and that in the event of the breach by Seller Parent or its Affiliates of the terms and conditions of this Section 6.15 to be performed by Seller Parent, Purchaser and the Business shall be entitled, if they so elect, to obtain damages, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses or liabilities of any nature and kind (without regard to any limitation on types or measurement of damages in this Agreement including those set forth in the definition “Loss” in Section 1.1 or Section 7.5) for any breach of this Section 6.15, or to enforce the specific performance thereof by Seller Parent.

Section 6.16    Confidentiality.

a.For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall hold and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) to hold, and shall each use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence and not to use in any manner (other than for the purpose of holding confidential and for no other purpose), disclose or release without the prior written consent of the other Party, any and all of the other Party’s Confidential Information; provided, that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective Representatives who have a need to know such information and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, Seller Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, will be responsible, (ii) if the Parties, their Affiliates or their respective Representatives are requested or compelled to disclose, in the opinion of counsel (which may be inside counsel), any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or any securities exchange, market or automated quotation system to which such Person is subject, (iii) in connection with any proceeding to enforce such Party’s rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (iv) in the case of Purchaser or its Affiliates, to Purchaser’s Financing Sources (and their respective counsel, auditors and other professional advisors) so long as such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of





such information and agree to keep such information confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, Seller Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall (x) to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, promptly notify the other Party of the existence of such request or demand and the disclosure that is expected to be made in respect thereto in each case with sufficient specificity so that the other Party may, at its expense, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.16 and (y) if requested by the other Party (at such other Party’s sole cost and expense), assist the other Party in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy in respect to such request or demand. If such a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the other Party is not obtained and such disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is nonetheless required by such judicial or administrative process, Law or securities exchange, market or automated quotation system to disclose any Confidential Information, such disclosing Party (or such Affiliate or Representative) may, after compliance with the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 6.16(a), disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed, provided, that such disclosing Party and, if appropriate, such Affiliate or Representative, exercise its and their reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including by obtaining reasonable assurances that confidential treatment shall be accorded any Confidential Information so disclosed. Notwithstanding any disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to clause (ii) above, such disclosing Party and its Affiliates and Representatives will continue to be bound by its obligations of confidentiality (including with respect to any Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to clause (ii) above), non-disclosure, restriction on use and other obligations under this Section 6.16.

b.As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all proprietary, technical, economic, environmental, operational, financial or other business information or material, data, reports, interpretations, forecasts and business plans of one Party and its businesses, products, services, financial condition, operations, assets, liabilities and/or prospects, which, prior to or following the Closing Date, has been disclosed by Seller Parent or its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries), on the other hand, in written, oral (including by recording), electronic, or visual form to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, the other Party, in each case including pursuant to the access provisions of Section 6.10 or any other provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (A) in the case of Seller Parent and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (as the receiving party), (i) except with respect to Intellectual Property, to the extent relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities prior to the Closing and (ii) with respect to Intellectual Property, to the extent relating solely to the Business or the Purchased Assets prior to Closing and not constituting Excluded Assets, or (B) in the case of Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (as the receiving party), to the extent relating to the Excluded Assets or the Retained Businesses (except, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (1) in the public domain (other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or its Affiliates or Representatives (including, in the case of Seller Parent, any of the Retained Subsidiaries or, in the case of Purchaser, any of its Subsidiaries (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries))), (2) available after the date hereof to such Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party without, to such Party’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, being subject to any contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to the other Party, or (3) independently developed by or on behalf of such Party without use of, reference to or reliance





upon any information, materials or other documents furnished or otherwise disclosed to such Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives by or on behalf of the other Party (as can be demonstrated by such Party by appropriate documentary evidence) and is not, to such Party’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, subject to any contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to the other Party). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall prevent (x) Seller Parent or its Affiliates from disclosing or using information (i) used or held for use in any Retained Business or (ii) to the extent relating to any Retained Liability, in each case, even if such information also constitutes Purchaser’s Confidential Information, and (y) Purchaser or its Affiliates from disclosing or using information (i) used or held for use in the Business or (ii) to the extent relating to any Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities or the Business, in each case, even if such information also constitutes Seller Parent’s Confidential Information.

c.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) Seller Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries), on the other hand, shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar information, materials or other documents and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any agreement between Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and any employee of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (or, prior to the Closing Date, any Conveyed Subsidiary and their Subsidiaries), or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing Date, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries), on the other hand, shall remain in full force and effect. Confidential Information of Seller Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, or the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in the possession of, and used by, the other Party as of the Closing Date may continue to be used by Seller Parent or its Affiliates in the operation of their businesses, or subject to the Intellectual Property License Agreement, Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) solely in the operation of the Business, as the case may be, provided that, and to the extent, such Confidential Information (i) in the possession of Seller Parent or its Affiliates relates to the Retained Business, and (ii) in the possession of Purchaser or its Affiliates relates to the Business and does not constitute any Excluded Assets, and, in each case, so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not disclosed in violation of this Agreement. Such continued right to use may not be transferred to any third party (other than an Affiliate of a Party), without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless the third party purchases all or substantially all of the business and assets in one transaction or in a series of related transactions for which or in which the relevant Confidential Information is used or employed.

d.Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.16, to the extent that an Ancillary Agreement or another Contract pursuant to which a Party is bound, provided, that certain Confidential Information shall be maintained confidential on a basis that is more protective of such Confidential Information or for a longer period of time than provided for in this Section 6.16, then the applicable provisions contained in such Ancillary Agreement or other Contract shall control with respect thereto. After the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated by the parties thereto and shall no longer be in effect.





Section 6.17    Guarantees; Letters of Credit.

a.Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to terminate, or cause Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller Parent or the applicable Retained Subsidiary in respect of, all obligations of Seller Parent or any of the Retained Subsidiaries under Seller Parent Guarantees on the Closing Date.

b.With respect to any Seller Parent Guarantees that remain outstanding after the Closing Date, (i) Seller Parent and Purchaser shall continue to cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to terminate, or cause Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller Parent or any Retained Subsidiary in respect of, all obligations under Seller Parent Guarantees, (ii) Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any Losses arising from, or relating to, such Seller Parent Guarantees, and (iii) Purchaser shall not permit any Conveyed Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to (a) renew or extend the term of or (b) increase its obligations under, or transfer to another third party, any loan, Contract or other obligation for which Seller Parent or any Retained Subsidiary is or would reasonably be expected to be liable under such Seller Parent Guarantee. To the extent that Seller Parent or the Retained Subsidiaries have performance obligations under any Seller Parent Guarantee, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) perform such obligations on behalf of Seller Parent and the Retained Subsidiaries or (y) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Seller Parent so as to put Seller Parent and the Retained Subsidiaries in the same position as if Purchaser, and not Seller Parent or a Retained Subsidiary, had performed or were performing such obligations.

c.Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace all letters of credit issued by Seller Parent or the Retained Subsidiaries on behalf of or in favor of any Conveyed Subsidiary, any of their Subsidiaries or the Business (the “Seller Parent LCs”) as promptly as practicable with letters of credit from Purchaser or (if it is able to do so) one of its Affiliates as of the Closing Date. With respect to any Seller Parent LCs that remain outstanding after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (i) defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns for any Losses arising from, or relating to, such letters of credit, including any fees in connection with the issuance and maintenance thereof and (ii) without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall not permit any Conveyed Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, enter into, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third party, any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation in connection with which Seller Parent or any Retained Subsidiary has issued any letters of credit which remain outstanding. The Parties agree that neither Seller Parent nor any of the Retained Subsidiaries will have any obligation to renew any letters of credit issued on behalf of any Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) or the Business after the expiration of any such letter of credit. Neither Seller Parent Guarantees nor Seller Parent LCs shall be deemed Purchased Assets hereunder.






Section 6.18    Ancillary Agreements; Retained Names; the MedNet Mark; Common Law Trademarks.

a.At the Closing, Purchaser and Seller Parent shall enter into, execute and deliver a Transitional Services Agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit F hereto, with such changes, if any, as may be mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller Parent (the “Transitional Services Agreement”), including the changes contemplated to be negotiated pursuant to this Section 6.18(a). The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the schedules to the Transitional Services Agreement set forth on Exhibit F hereto may not include all of the services that shall be provided under the Transitional Services Agreement and prior to Closing, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to supplement (as applicable), negotiate in good faith and finalize the schedules to the Transitional Services Agreement based on the discussions of the parties to date and the description of the services and related terms set forth in the draft of the schedules to the Transitional Services Agreement set forth on Exhibit F hereto; provided that, for clarity, if, despite such reasonable best efforts, the Parties are not able to agree in writing on any service to be supplied thereunder, the Transitional Services Agreement shall include only services that are both being utilized in connection with, the Business during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing and being performed by or through employees, assets or entities of the Sellers that will not be transferred to Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and shall not include the “Excluded Services” set forth on draft Exhibit B to the Transitional Services Agreement (the “Services”).

b.At the Closing, Purchaser and Seller Parent shall enter into, execute and deliver (i) a shareholders agreement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Shareholders Agreement”), (ii) an Intellectual Property License Agreement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit G hereto (the “Intellectual Property License Agreement”), (iii) a manufacturing and supply agreement in which Seller Parent is the supplier substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H hereto (the “Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (Seller Parent as Supplier)”), (iv) a manufacturing and supply agreement in which Purchaser is the supplier substantially set forth in Exhibit I hereto (the “Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (Purchaser as Supplier)”), (v) Intellectual Property assignment agreements, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit J hereto (the “IP Assignment Agreements”) and (vi) a Logistics and Services Agreement, subject to the terms set forth in Section 6.26.

c.After the date hereof and prior to the Closing, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to assess the feasibility of any potential delayed transfers of certain Business Employees and certain assets located at the Pleasant Prairie Customer Service Center and the three (3) distribution centers of the Business and, to agree to delay transfers of such Business Employees and assets as reasonably requested by the Purchaser.

d.As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause each Conveyed Subsidiary (and each Subsidiary thereof) to change its name and cause its certificate of incorporation (or equivalent organizational document), as





applicable, to be amended to remove any and all references to “Hospira,” “Pfizer” and all other Retained Names. Upon and following the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and each Subsidiary thereof) to, cease holding themselves out as having any affiliation with Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates.

e.Upon and following the Closing, subject to Section 6.18(d), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and each Subsidiary thereof) to, cease using any and all Retained Names, except for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing (provided such period shall be thirty (30) months with respect to use of the Retained Names, to the extent required by use of tooling that is installed in the Austin Facility as of the Closing, solely with respect to the Products that are manufactured in the Austin Facility (i.e., bags)), Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be permitted to use the Hospira Marks in the manner such Hospira Marks were used by Seller Parent and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing solely in connection with the sale of any Inventory of Products and use of the advertising, marketing, sales and promotional materials Relating to the Business that, in each case, are included in the Purchased Assets under Section 2.2(m) and contain such Hospira Marks as of the Closing, in the conduct of the Business as conducted immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that, with respect to any Product for which any Hospira Mark is required to be used by any Conveyed Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries or Purchaser or any Purchaser Designated Affiliate under a Product Registration or Manufacturing Registration, such Person shall be permitted to continue to use such Hospira Mark in the country to which such Product Registration or Manufacturing Registration relates, including for the sale of any Inventory or Products manufactured during such 18-month period (or thirty (30) month period, as applicable), subject to and in accordance with this Section 6.18(e), to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with such Product Registration or Manufacturing Registration, and to sell any inventory of Product that is subject to such Product Registration or Manufacturing Registration; provided, further, that, if Purchaser has been diligent in its efforts to transition from such Hospira Mark to different Trademarks not containing or comprising any of the Retained Names, but due to delays of the applicable Governmental Authority in such country, and other delays that Purchaser is not able to overcome by exercising diligent efforts, in each case, that are outside Purchaser’s reasonable control, use of such Hospira Mark is required under the applicable Product Registration or Manufacturing Registration, then following expiration of such 18-month period (or 30-month period, as applicable), Purchaser may extend such period with respect to such Hospira Mark and such country for additional period not to exceed one (1) year until such Hospira Mark is no longer required to be used under the applicable Product Registration or Manufacturing Registration, so long as Purchaser (x) provides Seller Parent with prior written notice that describes the reason for each such extension in reasonable detail, (y) remains diligent with respect to such transition during each such extension and (z) such Hospira mark is required to be used under the applicable Product Registration or Manufacturing Registration. For clarity, after expiration of the 18-month period or 30-month period (as applicable) or any extension thereof with respect to a Product, Purchaser shall be permitted to continue selling any reasonable quantities of inventory of such Product that exists as of the expiration of such period of time for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed three (3) months); provided that Purchaser provides Seller Parent with prior written notice thereof and otherwise complies with the terms of this Section 6.18.






f.As of the Closing or with respect to each Hospira Mark, following the expiration of each period of permitted use to the extent set forth in, and subject to, Section 6.18(d) (each such period of permitted use for each Hospira Mark with respect to the applicable country, the “Hospira Transition Period”), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to remove, strike over, or otherwise obliterate all Retained Names from all sales and product literature, vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, websites, email addresses, computer software, and other materials and systems. Any use of the Hospira Marks by the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries as permitted in this Section 6.18 is subject to their use of each Hospira Mark in the same form and manner, to the same extent (without an increase in extent or type of uses of each Hospira Mark) and subject to the same standards of quality, of that in effect for each Hospira Mark as of the Closing. Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, use any Hospira Mark in any manner that may reflect negatively in any material respect on such name and mark or on Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, in connection with all written Trademark uses of the Hospira Marks permitted hereunder, use commercially reasonable efforts to include a clear statement that the associated products or services are manufactured by or otherwise emanate from Purchaser and its Affiliates and not from Seller Parent and its Affiliates. Without limitation to any other rights or remedies, Seller Parent shall have the right to terminate the license to the Hospira Marks set forth herein, effective immediately, if Purchaser and its Affiliates materially fail to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6.18(d) and 6.18(e) or otherwise materially fail to comply with any reasonable direction of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates in relation to the use of the Hospira Marks provided by Seller Parent to Purchaser from time to time, and Seller Parent provides written notice to Purchaser of such failure and Purchaser does not cure such failure within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice. Purchaser shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 6.18(f) by its retention of any archived documentation or other tangible or electronic materials that contain any Retained Names; provided that such documentation and materials are for internal use only and not used in commerce.

g.From and after the Closing, Seller Parent agrees, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, to cease all the use of the Hospira Marks that include the term “MedNet” as a Trademark and upon request from Purchaser to cancel the existing U.S. Trademark Registration Numbers 3341557, 3005020, 3600063, and 3399021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time following the Closing Date, Seller Parent would like to allow any such Trademark registrations to lapse or be cancelled, Seller Parent shall provide Purchaser with written notice thereof and if Purchaser would like Seller Parent to continue to maintain such Trademark registrations, Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller Parent with written notice agreeing to reimburse Seller Parent for its costs and expenses incurred in connection with maintaining such Trademark registrations. Following receipt of such notice, Seller Parent shall continue to maintain such Trademarks for a reasonable period of time for so long as Purchaser reimburses Seller Parent for such costs and expenses and remains diligent with respect to filing Trademark applications (that, for clarity, do not include any Retained Names) to replace such Trademark registrations. Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby assigns to Purchaser any and all of its and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in, to and under all MedNet Rights. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE MEDNET RIGHTS IS DELIVERED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” BASIS AND WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE MEDNET





RIGHTS (INCLUDING SELLER PARENT’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ RIGHTS, IF ANY, WITH RESPECT THERETO).

h.During the two (2) year period following the Closing, if and to the extent that Purchaser identifies a common law Trademark owned by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date and that is necessary for the operation of the Business as of the Closing Date and is not a Business Common Law Trademark or a Retained Name, Purchaser may provide written notice to Seller Parent identifying such common law Trademark and requesting that it be licensed or assigned to Purchaser.  The Parties shall review and discuss in good faith such proposal for a period of up to sixty (60) days from the receipt of such notice.  If Seller Parent agrees in writing (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) during such sixty (60) day period that such applicable common law Trademark is necessary for the operation of the Business as of the Closing Date, such common law Trademark (the “Omitted Trademark”) shall be licensed or assigned (in the reasonable discretion of Seller Parent) to Purchaser and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and other terms as reasonably agreed to by the Parties.

Section 6.19    Compliance with WARN and Similar Laws. Seller Parent shall provide to Purchaser at the Closing Date a complete and accurate list of all “employment losses” within the Business, as that term is defined in WARN which occurred in the ninety (90)-days preceding the Closing Date, which shall show the name, date of separation, reason for separation, and facility or operating unit of each employee of the Business who suffered such an employment loss in such period. Purchaser agrees to provide or cause to be provided any required notice under WARN, and any similar applicable Law, and otherwise to comply with any such applicable Law with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” or similar event affecting Business Employees and occurring on or after the Closing Date. Seller Parent agrees to, and shall cause the other Sellers to, provide or cause to be provided any required notice under WARN, and any similar applicable Law, and otherwise to comply with any such applicable Law with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” or similar event affecting Business Employees and occurring prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.20    Local Implementing Agreements. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall cause the Local Implementing Agreements to be prepared and, at or prior to the Closing Date, executed by the applicable Sellers and Purchaser Designated Affiliates. Seller Parent and Purchaser agree that such Local Implementing Agreements shall not expand or limit the rights and obligations of the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser and the Purchaser Designated Affiliates, on the other hand, beyond those provided for in this Agreement, and that the Local Implementing Agreements shall not provide for any additional rights or obligations of the Sellers, Purchaser or the Purchaser Designated Affiliates that are not provided for in this Agreement. Seller Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate in the preparation of such Local Implementing Agreements, which shall be prepared substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A with only such changes as necessary to comply with applicable Law of such foreign jurisdictions. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Local Implementing Agreements and this Agreement, Seller Parent and Purchaser agree and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall control and that, if necessary, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, deliver such additional instruments as may be necessary to





accomplish the foregoing. To the extent of any schedules to any such Local Implementing Agreements, the Parties agree that such schedules shall be provided for convenience only and, as applicable, to satisfy requirements of applicable Law.

Section 6.21    Litigation Support; Seller Parent’s Election to Control Non-Indemnified Claims.

a.Following the Closing, except in connection with any indemnification claim or dispute arising hereunder, Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall cooperate with each other in the defense or settlement of any Liabilities or Actions involving the Business or Retained Businesses for which the other Party has responsibility under this Agreement, including with respect to any Assumed Liabilities or Retained Liabilities, by providing the other Party and such other Party’s legal counsel, upon reasonable advance notice in writing, reasonable access, during regular normal business hours, to current and former officers, directors, employees, contractors, records, documents, data, equipment, facilities, products, parts, prototypes and other information regarding the Business or Retained Businesses, as applicable, and its respective products as such other Party may reasonably request, to the extent maintained or under the possession or control of the requested Party; provided, that all requests for access pursuant to this Section 6.21 shall be made in writing and shall be directed to and coordinated with a Person or Persons designated by the requested Party in writing; provided, however, that no such access shall unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s and the Conveyed Subsidiaries’ (and their Subsidiaries’) or Seller Parent’s and its Subsidiaries; as applicable, operation of their respective businesses, including the Business and the Retained Businesses; and provided, further, that the requested Party may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (A) in the reasonable judgment of such Party, applicable Law requires such Party to restrict or prohibit access to such information or document, (B) in the reasonable judgment of such Party, such information or document is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party, (C) such disclosure would result in disclosure of any proprietary confidential information of such Party or third parties, or (D) disclosure of any such information or document could result in the loss or waiver of the attorney-client or other applicable privilege (provided, that such Party and/or counsel for such Party shall use their reasonable best efforts to enter into such joint defense agreements or other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in the loss of such privilege). The requesting Party shall reimburse the other Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in performing its obligations under this Section 6.21.

b.From and after the Closing, (i) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall promptly notify Seller Parent of any third party Action with respect to the Business that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any Retained Business or may affect, in whole or in part, any Retained Liability and (ii) Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall promptly notify Purchaser of any third party Action with respect to any Retained Business that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Business or may affect, in whole or in part, any Assumed Liability; provided, that the failure by any Party and its Affiliates to give any such notice shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement other than an intentional failure to provide such notice. The provisions of Article VII shall apply to any Third Party Claim with respect to which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification by Seller Parent under Section 7.1.





With respect to any other third party Action (a “Non-Indemnified Claim”), (A) if such Non-Indemnified Claim could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any Retained Business or affect, in whole or in part, any Retained Liability, Seller Parent shall have the right but not the obligation, at its option, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of such Non-Indemnified Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose, and (B) if such Non-Indemnified Claim could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Business or affect, in whole or in part, any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, Purchaser shall have the right but not the obligation, at its option, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of such Non-Indemnified Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose.

c.In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall use, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use, reasonable efforts to make available to each other, upon written request, its current and former officers, directors, employees, contractors, personnel and agents for fact finding, consultation and interviews and as witnesses to the extent that any such Person may reasonably be required in connection with any Actions in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved arising from, or relating to, the conduct of the Business or the Retained Businesses or with respect to any Assumed Liabilities or Retained Liabilities. Seller Parent and Purchaser agree to reimburse each other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than officers’ or employees’ salaries) incurred by the other in connection with providing individuals and witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.21(c).

d.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Seller Parent or any Affiliate designated by Seller Parent shall have exclusive authority and control over all aspects of any investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of any and all Actions arising solely from, or solely relating to, the Retained Businesses or the Retained Liabilities and may negotiate, settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any Retained Liability, without the consent of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, and (ii) Purchaser or any Affiliate designated by Purchaser shall have exclusive authority and control over all aspects of any investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of any and all Actions arising solely from, or solely relating to, the Purchased Assets, the Shares, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business and may negotiate, settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any of the Purchased Assets, the Shares, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business, without the consent of Seller Parent or any Affiliate thereof.

Section 6.22    Insurance. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Seller Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser, to the extent in its possession, (i) all loss history for the last 5 years relating to the Business for matters that have been self-insured by Seller Parent and (ii) all pending insurance claims and the claims history for the Sellers in respect of the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities during the five (5) years prior to the date hereof. From and after the Closing Date, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries shall cease to be insured by Seller Parent or its Affiliates’ insurance policies or by any of their self-insured programs, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor its Subsidiaries shall have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such insurance policies (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover any assets of the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries or any Liability arising from the operation of the Business before, on or after the Closing. Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates may, to be effective at the Closing, amend any insurance policies in the manner it deems appropriate to give effect to this Section 6.22. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for its operation of the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries and the Business. Seller Parent shall keep or cause its Affiliates to keep all insurance policies currently maintained with respect to the Business, or suitable





replacements or renewals, in full force and effect through 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date. Until the Closing, the Purchased Assets shall remain at the risk of Seller Parent and its Affiliates. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of any Purchased Asset (other than normal wear and tear) after the date hereof and prior to the Closing (in any such case, an “Insurable Loss”), Seller Parent shall give notice thereof to Purchaser. If any such Insurable Loss is covered by property insurance policies, all right and claim of Seller Parent or its Affiliates, to the extent made prior to the Closing and included in the calculation of current assets in Working Capital, to any proceeds of property insurance for such Insurable Loss shall be assigned and (if previously received by Seller Parent or its Affiliates and not used prior to the Closing Date to repair any damage or destruction) paid to Purchaser at the Closing.
 
Section 6.23    Trade Notification. Seller Parent and Purchaser shall agree on the method and content of the notifications to customers, suppliers and distributors of the Business of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Closing Date. Seller Parent and Purchaser agree that such notifications are to provide sufficient advance notice of the transactions contemplated hereby and the plans associated therewith, with the objective of minimizing any disruption of the Business.

Section 6.24    Accounts; Products Received.

a.All payments and reimbursements received by Seller Parent or its Affiliates in connection with, or arising out of, the Purchased Assets, the Shares or the Assumed Liabilities after the Closing shall be held by such Person in trust for the benefit of Purchaser and, promptly following receipt by such Person of any such payment or reimbursement, such Person shall pay over to Purchaser the amount of such payment or reimbursement, without right of set-off. All payments and reimbursements received by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) in connection with or arising out of the Excluded Assets, Retained Liabilities or Retained Businesses, after the Closing shall be held by such Person in trust for the benefit of Seller Parent and, immediately upon receipt by such Person of any such payment or reimbursement such Person shall pay over to Seller Parent the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off.

b.If Products are received by Seller Parent or its Affiliates after the Closing, Seller Parent shall or shall cause such Affiliate to ship those Products to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s stated representative, at Purchaser’s cost. Subject to Article VII, Purchaser shall have sole responsibility for accepting and processing all returns following the Closing of Products and disbursing refunds and credits in respect thereof (whether such Products was sold prior to or after the Closing Date). Subject to Article VII, within thirty (30) days after notification from Seller Parent or one of its Affiliates, Purchaser shall reimburse such Seller Parent or one of its Affiliates for all customer claims made against such Seller






Parent or one of its Affiliates in the form of invoice deductions for amounts associated with such returned Products which are received by such Seller Parent or one of its Affiliates or their agent after the Closing.

Section 6.25    Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

a.If the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall and shall cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries to take any necessary actions to provide that all rights to indemnification and all limitations on liability existing in favor of any current or former officers, directors, partners, members, managers or employees of the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries (or their respective predecessors) (collectively, the “D&O Indemnitees”), as provided in the organizational documents of the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue in full force and effect and be honored by the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries after the Closing.

b.In the event that the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries or Purchaser or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.25.

c.The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 6.25 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnitee to whom this Section 6.25 applies without the express written consent of such affected D&O Indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.25 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.25).

Section 6.26    Shared Contracts. (a) The Parties acknowledge that the Shared Contracts relate to both the Business and the Retained Business. Following the Closing, the Parties desire to have and obtain the rights and benefits under each Shared Contract to the extent related to the Retained Businesses and the Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the separation of any Shared Contracts shall not be a condition to the Closing. The Parties shall bear their own out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with separating any such Shared Contracts; provided, that the Parties shall not be required to commence any litigation or offer to grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any counterparty to any such Shared Contract.
        
(b)    At the Closing, Purchaser and Seller Parent shall enter into, execute and deliver an agreement or agreements and/or shall include in one or more other Ancillary Agreements provisions, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each Party (such separate agreement or agreements, and/or such provisions to be included in one or more other Ancillary Agreements, the “Logistics and Services Agreement”) as more fully described in and pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.26 of the Seller Disclosure Letter.






Section 6.27    Return of Assets; Transfer of Purchased Assets.

a.If, at any time after the Closing, any asset acquired by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries) hereunder is ultimately determined to be an Excluded Asset or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is found subject to a Retained Liability, (i) Purchaser shall return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to the appropriate Affiliate of Seller Parent such Excluded Asset or Retained Liability; (ii) Seller Parent shall cause its appropriate Affiliate to assume (without further consideration) any Liabilities associated with such Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities; and (iii) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its appropriate Affiliate to, execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts which are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Excluded Asset or Retained Liability back to such Affiliate of Seller Parent, in each case such that each Party is put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser or its Affiliate shall cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries to promptly pay or deliver to Seller Parent (or its designee) any monies or checks which have been sent to a Conveyed Subsidiary to the extent they are not due to the Business which should have been sent to Seller Parent or one of its Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries) (including promptly forwarding invoices or similar documentation to Seller Parent). In the case of any asset that is ultimately determined to be a Purchased Asset but is required for the Retained Businesses, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries are granted access or rights to such assets to the extent required for the Retained Businesses.

b.Subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.3, if, at any time after the Closing, any asset held by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries is ultimately determined to be a Purchased Asset or Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is found to be subject to an Assumed Liability, (i) Seller Parent shall return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to the appropriate Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) or Purchaser Designated Affiliate such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability; (ii) Purchaser shall cause the appropriate Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) or Purchaser Designated Affiliate to assume (without further consideration) any Liabilities associated with such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities; and (iii) Purchaser shall cause the appropriate Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) or Purchaser Designated Affiliate to execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts which are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability to the Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) or Purchaser Designated Affiliate, in each case such that each Party is put into the same economic position as if such action had been taken on or prior to the Closing Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller Parent shall promptly pay or deliver to the Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) or Purchaser Designated Affiliate (or any designee of the foregoing) any monies or checks which have been sent to Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries by customers, suppliers or other contracting parties of the Business in respect of the Business and which should have been sent to one of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (or a Subsidiary thereof) or a Purchaser Designated Affiliate (including promptly forwarding invoices or similar documentation to the appropriate Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) or Purchaser Designated Affiliate). In the case of any asset that is ultimately determined to be an Excluded Asset but is required for the Business,





then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Purchaser and its Subsidiaries are granted access or rights to such assets to the extent required for the Business.

Section 6.28    Financing.

a.Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Financing on and in accordance with the terms and conditions (including the “flex” provisions) contemplated by the Commitment Letter as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, including (i) complying with and maintaining in effect the Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter so that such agreements are in effect no later than the Closing, (iii) satisfying as promptly as practicable and on a timely basis all the conditions to the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter and the definitive agreements, (iv) accepting to the fullest extent all “market flex” contemplated by the Commitment Letter and the definitive agreements and (v) enforcing its rights under the Commitment Letter in the event of a breach by the Financing Sources that impedes or delays the Closing. In the event that all conditions to the Commitment Letter have been satisfied or, upon funding shall be satisfied, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders and the other Persons providing such financing to fund on the Closing Date the financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including by taking enforcement action to cause such lenders and the other Persons providing such financing to fund such financing). Purchaser shall give Seller Parent prompt written notice of any (A) breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing, (B) actual or threatened withdrawal, repudiation or termination of the Financing by the Financing Sources, (C) material dispute or disagreement between or among any of the parties to the Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing, (D) material amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Commitment Letter, (E) if for any reason Purchaser believes in good faith that it will not be able to timely obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letter or the definitive documents related to the Financing or (F) expiration or termination of the Commitment Letter. Purchaser shall keep Seller Parent informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter, including providing copies of all definitive agreements. Neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall amend, modify or agree to any waiver under the Commitment Letter without the prior written approval of Seller Parent if such amendment, modification, or waiver (1) could reasonably be expected to reduce (or have the effect of reducing) the aggregate committed amount of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Financing (unless in connection with such increase in the amount of the fees or original issue discount, the aggregate amount of the Financing is increased in an amount equal to such increase in the amount of the fees or original issue discount)) or (2) expands on or imposes new or additional conditions precedent, or otherwise amends, modifies or expands any provision set forth therein in a manner that could reasonably be expected to (x) prevent, delay or impair the Closing, (y) make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur, or (z) adversely impact the ability of Purchaser or its Affiliates to enforce its rights against the other





parties to the Commitment Letter or the ability of Purchaser or its Affiliates to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) amend the Commitment Letter to add commercial banks, investment banks or other institutional investors as lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities with commitments thereunder that have not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof, if the addition of such additional parties, individually or in the aggregate, would not prevent, delay or impair the availability of the Financing or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall, without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, take any action or enter into any transaction that would reasonably be expected to impair, delay or prevent consummation of all or any portion of the Financing. Purchaser shall not release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the lenders under the Commitment Letter, except for assignments and replacements of an individual lender under the terms of, or in connection with, the syndication of the Financing or as otherwise expressly contemplated by the Commitment Letter. If funds in the amounts set forth in the Commitment Letter, or any portion thereof, become unavailable, or it becomes reasonably likely that such funds may become unavailable to Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth therein, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event to (aa) notify Seller Parent in writing thereof, (bb) use reasonable best efforts to obtain substitute financing on terms and subject to conditions not materially less favorable to Purchaser and its Affiliates than those set forth in the Commitment Letter and sufficient to enable Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with its terms (the “Substitute Financing”) and (cc) obtain a new financing commitment letter that provides for such Substitute Financing and, promptly after execution thereof, deliver to Seller Parent true, complete and correct copies of the new commitment letter and fee letter (in a redacted form removing only the fee amounts and economic information, but which redacted fee amounts and economic information does not relate to the amounts or conditionality of, or contain any conditions precedent to, the funding of the Financing) and related definitive financing documents with respect to such Substitute Financing. Upon obtaining any commitment for any such Substitute Financing, such financing shall be deemed to be a part of the “Financing” and any commitment letter and fee letter for such Substitute Financing shall be deemed the “Commitment Letter” for all purposes of this Agreement.

b.Prior to the Closing, Seller Parent shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to provide reasonable cooperation (and cause its applicable controlled Affiliates to use their commercially reasonable efforts) with the Financing as is reasonably requested by Purchaser, in each case at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser. Such cooperation shall include the following: (i) in connection with the Financing, providing reasonable assistance in the preparation of customary rating agency presentations, bank books, information memoranda and other information packages regarding the business, operations and financial condition of the Business, in each case, to the extent customarily provided by a borrower in a secured bank loan financing; (ii) providing reasonable participation by appropriate members of the Business’s management team in a reasonable number of due diligence sessions, drafting sessions, rating agency presentations and meetings with prospective lenders and debt investors, in each case related to the Financing, and in each case upon reasonable advance notice and at times and locations to be mutually agreed; (iii) furnishing Purchaser and the Financing Sources with customary and readily available financial and other pertinent financial information regarding the Business





as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to consummate the Financing, including the Required Financial Information; (iv) if reasonably requested, providing reasonable assistance in the negotiation of the definitive documents relating to the Financing, including with respect to any guarantee and collateral documents and providing Purchaser with any information regarding the Business reasonably necessary to complete customary closing and perfection certificates as may be required in connection with the Financing as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser; (v) reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral in connection with the Financing; (vi) providing customary authorization letters (including as to the accuracy of information and the absence of material non-public information) to the Financing Sources to the extent requested and (vii) upon reasonable request therefor, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, furnishing all reasonable documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, as is requested in writing by Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, the actions contemplated in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii) shall not require any cooperation to the extent it could reasonably be expected to (A) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Business, (B) cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached, (C) cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Article VIII to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement, (D) require Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any out-of-pocket fees or expenses or incur or assume any other liability or obligation in connection with the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letter or the Financing, (E) require Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to provide (or to have provided on its behalf) any certificates or opinions or execute any definitive financing documents, including any credit or other agreements, pledge or security documents, in connection with the Financing, (F) cause any director, officer or employee of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to incur any personal liability and none of the boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to enter into any resolutions or take similar action approving the Financing, (G) result in the material contravention of, or that could reasonably be expected to result in a material violation or breach of, or a default under, any Laws or under any material Contract to which Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in effect on the date hereof, (H) require Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to provide access to or disclose information that Seller Parent determines would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (I) require Seller Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to prepare separate financial statements (other than the Required Financial Information) or pro forma financial statements or adjustments. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall not, prior to the Closing, have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to any Person under, the Financing or any other financing that Purchaser may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 6.28. Seller Parent hereby consents to the use of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in use as of the date hereof, as applicable, in connection with the Financing, in accordance with customary practice and in the same manner as such logos are used as of the date hereof in connection with the Business, and subject to any reasonable restrictions that Seller Parent may impose; provided that the logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or reasonably likely, to harm or disparage Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the reputation or the goodwill of Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries or Affiliate.





Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller Parent’s breach of any of its covenants required to be performed by it under this Section 6.28 will not be considered in determining the satisfaction of the conditions in Article VIII unless such breach is material and directly results in Purchaser being unable to timely satisfy the conditions in the Commitment Letter and as a result Purchaser is unable to obtain the proceeds of the Financing at the Closing.

c.Purchaser shall indemnify Seller Parent and its Affiliates and its and their Representatives from and against any Losses arising out of, resulting from or relating to the Financing (including any information used in connection therewith), including, to the extent applicable, promptly upon written request by Seller Parent, reimburse any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Seller Parent or its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives arising out of, resulting from or relating to the Financing and any activities relating thereto, to the extent such costs and expenses are incurred (provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed an independent obligation of Seller Parent or its Affiliates and/or any of their respective Representatives to incur any such costs and expenses or to participate in any such financing efforts). The provisions of this Section 6.28(c) shall survive (i) any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 and (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and are expressly intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, Seller Parent, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is understood by the Parties that the obtaining, or availability, of any proceeds of the Financing shall not be a condition to the Closing or to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to the availability of remedies set forth in Section 10.17. Each of (A) Purchaser’s breach of any of its representations or warranties in Section 5.6 or Purchaser’s breach of any of its obligations in this Section 6.28 and (B) the failure, for any reason, of Purchaser to have sufficient cash available on the Closing Date to pay the Preliminary Purchase Price and/or the failure to so pay the Preliminary Purchase Price on the Closing Date, in each case, shall constitute a willful and material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser and Seller Parent will be entitled to all remedies pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 9.2.

d.None of Seller Parent, the Asset Sellers, the Share Sellers, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and each of their respective stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling Persons and agents shall have any rights or claims against any Financing Source (and no Financing Source shall have any liability (whether in contract, in tort or otherwise) to Seller Parent, the Asset Sellers, the Share Sellers, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and each of their respective stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling Persons and agents) in connection with this Agreement, the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the performance of any financing commitments of such Financing Source with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.28(d) shall limit or modify the rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement.

a.If any Action is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any of the Persons to be indemnified under this Article VII (the “Indemnified Party”) intends to claim any Loss hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Party from whom indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) indicating, with reasonable specificity, the nature of such Third Party Claim, the basis therefor, a copy of any documentation received from the third party, an estimate of the Losses relating thereto, and the provisions of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, and/or any other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the defense of the Action in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby, (ii) to the extent expenses are incurred during the period in which notice was not provided, and (iii) as provided by Section 7.4. Payments for Losses for Third Party Claims which are otherwise covered by the indemnification obligations herein shall not be required except to the extent that the Indemnified Party has expended out-of-pocket sums.

b.Subject to Section 6.21(b), upon receipt of a notice for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.3(a) with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall





not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) such Third Party Claim is reasonably foreseeable to result in Losses which are more than two hundred percent (200%) of the amount indemnifiable by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.3; (ii) such Third Party Claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (iii) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iv) the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (v) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, undertake to compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall agree to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement releases the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim and provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, and the Third Party Claim concerns any Intellectual Property of the other Party, the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party with respect to such aspects of the Third Party Claim that concern the ownership, validity, or enforceability of such Intellectual Property, including by not making any admission or offer of settlement in such Third Party Claim that could reasonably be expected to have prejudice or adverse effect, and in the event and to the extent that any Third Party Claim relates to or may affect or otherwise impair ownership of or rights in, or the scope, validity or enforceability of, any Licensed IP, the prosecution and defense of such aspects of such Third Party Claim shall be governed by the Intellectual Property License Agreement. Notwithstanding an election of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Action.

c.In the event any Indemnified Party has an indemnification claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in writing describing such Loss, the amount or estimated amount thereof, if known or reasonably capable of estimation, and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or any other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the conduct or defense of the Action in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby and (ii) as provided by Section 7.4. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction set forth in Section 10.12. Within ten (10) Business Days of the final determination of the amount of any claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an





amount equal to the agreed claim by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party in a notice to the Indemnifying Party not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such payment.

d.Purchaser will provide notice and an opportunity to comment to Seller Parent before Purchaser or any of its Affiliates files any material Required Governmental Report or any other report, notification or filing with any Governmental Authority or third party in connection with an event that would be reasonably likely to result in a Loss subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 7.1. In the event Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is required to file a material Required Governmental Report or any other report, notification or filing immediately, Purchaser will provide simultaneous notice to Seller Parent when the report is filed with the Governmental Authority.

Section 7.4    Expiration. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Closing occurs, all covenants and agreements made herein or in any Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the obligations of Purchaser to assume, and to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties for, the Assumed Liabilities, or reimburse Seller Parent for costs and expenses expressly provided for in this Agreement, and (y) the obligations of Seller Parent to retain, and indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, the Retained Liabilities, shall in each case survive the Closing indefinitely. No action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement shall be commenced after the date on which such covenant or agreement shall terminate in accordance with its terms, unless prior to such termination date a claim for indemnification with respect thereto has been made, with reasonable specificity, by written notice given under Section 7.3. All representations and warranties made herein and all indemnification obligations under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 with respect to any such representations or warranties, shall terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto shall be commenced after, the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, unless prior to such anniversary date a claim for indemnification with respect thereto has been made, with reasonable specificity, by written notice given under Section 7.3, except that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive and the right to bring a claim for indemnification for breach of such representations or inaccuracy thereto shall continue indefinitely and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.17 shall survive, and the right to bring a claim for indemnification for breach of such representations or inaccuracy thereto shall continue, until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions and waivers thereof).

Section 7.5    Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VII, neither Seller Parent nor Purchaser, as applicable, shall have any indemnification obligations for (a) Losses under Section 7.1(a)(ii) or 7.2(a)(ii), to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Preliminary Purchase Price, (b) under Section 7.1(a) to the extent such Losses result from, arise out of or are the consequence of, in whole or part any intrusive investigation, including any drilling, sampling, testing or monitoring of any soil, surface water or groundwater by or on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, in each case, except to the extent such action or intrusive investigation was expressly





required by Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or is undertaken in response to a substantial threat to human health or the environment; or (c) Losses under Section 7.1(a)(iii) or 7.2(a)(iii), in respect of any individual item or group of items where the Loss relating thereto is less than $100,000 (the “De Minimis Claim Threshold”), or in respect of each individual item or group of related items where the Loss relating thereto is equal to or greater than the De Minimis Claim Threshold, unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $5,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the applicable Party shall be required to pay only the amounts of such Losses from the first dollar of any such Losses but only up to a maximum amount of $100,000,000 (the “Maximum Indemnification Amount”); provided, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the same Loss be taken into account more than once for purposes of calculations in connection with, or application of, the De Minimis Claim Threshold, the Deductible or the Maximum Indemnification Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.5 shall not apply to or count towards any indemnification obligation of (A) Seller Parent for Losses resulting from (1) any Excluded Asset, (2) any Retained Liability, (3) the Retained Businesses, (4) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller Parent set forth in Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.15 (except with respect to the Maximum Indemnification Amount, which shall apply for any indemnification obligations of Seller Parent with respect to Section 4.15) and Section 4.19 (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”), or (5) Seller Parent’s fraud, and (B) Purchaser for Losses resulting from (1) any Purchased Asset, (2) any Assumed Liability, (3) the Business, (4) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3, and Section 5.11 (collectively, the “Purchaser Fundamental Representations”, and together with the Seller Fundamental Representations, the “Fundamental Representations”), (5) any use by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of the Hospira Marks pursuant to Section 6.18, (6) Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ or Sublicensees’ (as defined in the Intellectual Property License Agreement) exercise of any license or other rights set forth in the Intellectual Property License Agreement, (7) the research, development, manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, import or export of any Company Medical Device Products (as defined in the Intellectual Property License Agreement) or Company Solutions Products (as defined in the Intellectual Property License Agreement) by or on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Sublicenseesor or (8) Purchaser’s fraud.

Section 7.6    Losses Net of Insurance, Etc. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 shall be net of (i) any accruals or reserves on the Final Closing Statement specifically identified and attributable to such Loss, but solely to the extent of the amount of such accrual or reserve, (ii) any amounts included in the settlement of the Final Working Capital or the Final Net Cash specifically identified and attributable to such Loss, and (iii) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party (net of any costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection), (iv) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement actually received (net of any costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) as an offset against such Loss (each Person named in clauses (iii) and (iv), a “Collateral Source”), and (v) an amount equal to the net Tax benefit resulting from such Loss that is actually realized no later than the second Tax year following the Tax year of the Loss by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. Indemnification under this Article VII shall not be available unless the Indemnified Party first uses its reasonable best efforts to seek





recovery from all Collateral Sources. The Indemnifying Party may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, require an Indemnified Party to assign to the Indemnifying Party the rights to seek recovery pursuant to the preceding sentence (to the extent such rights are capable of assignment); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will then be responsible for pursuing such claim at its own expense; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall cooperate (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) with the Indemnifying Party to seek such recovery. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

Section 7.7    No Right of Set-Off. Neither Seller Parent, on the one hand, nor Purchaser, on the other hand, shall have any right to set-off any Losses under this Article VII against any payments to be made by such Party or Parties pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement among the Parties, including in any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 7.8    Materiality Scrape. For purposes of this Article VII, in determining whether there has been an inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty and the amount of any Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, each representation and warranty shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any materiality qualifications contained therein (including the terms “material”, “material adverse effect”, “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar terms), except, with respect to this Section 7.8, the following references shall not be disregarded: (i) use of the word “Material” as used in the defined terms “Material Adverse Effect,” “Material Contract,” “Material Shared Contract” and “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect,” (ii) references to materiality contained in each of Section 4.6(b), Section 4.9(a), Section 4.12(a), Section 4.12(b), Section 4.13(a), Section 4.17(a), Section 4.17(b), Section 4.18(a), (iii) references to a Material Adverse Effect contained in Section 4.7(a).

Section 7.9    Sole Remedy/Waiver. From and after the Closing, except with respect to (i) claims arising from actual fraud, and (ii) claims seeking specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to covenants to be performed after the Closing or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Article VII and Section 6.6 with respect to Taxes shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, except any remedies to the extent expressly set forth in the Ancillary Agreements for claims that may arise thereunder (and for clarity, the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to such remedies shall be subject to the terms set forth therein).

Section 7.10    Indemnification Payments. A Party (and its Affiliates) shall not be deemed to have suffered a Loss with respect to an item to the extent such Party was actually compensated therefor by reason of an increase in the amount otherwise paid to it or a reduction in the amount otherwise paid by it pursuant to Section 2.10. Seller Parent hereby waives any claim of subrogation or contribution against the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and Subsidiaries thereof) with respect to any indemnification obligation owing to Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

a.by written agreement of Purchaser and Seller Parent, acting as agent for each other Seller;

b.by either Purchaser or Seller Parent, by giving written notice of such termination to the other Party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the close of business (New York time) on the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof (the “Outside Date”); provided, that if all of the conditions to the obligations of Seller Parent and Purchaser to consummate transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b) and those conditions that by their nature would be satisfied as of the Closing Date (provided that such conditions would be capable of being satisfied by the Outside Date)) have been satisfied or waived as of the Outside Date, then Seller Parent may extend the Outside Date to the close of business (New York time) on the nine (9) month anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to (x) any Party whose action or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date or (y) the other Party during the pendency of any Action by a Party for specific performance of this Agreement;

c.by Purchaser upon written notice to Seller Parent, if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement on the part of Seller Parent which has rendered the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in Section 8.2 incapable of fulfillment, such violation or breach has not been waived by Purchaser, and the breach has not been cured within forty-five (45) days (or, if earlier, the Outside Date) following Purchaser’s written notice of such breach and/or is not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c), if not exercised, shall terminate sixty (60) days following delivery of such written notice; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to Purchaser if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein;

b.Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the following Sections of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect: Section 6.1(b) (Information and Documents), Section 6.28(c) and Section 6.28(d) (Financing), Section 9.1 (Termination), Section 9.2 (Effect of Termination) and Article X (Miscellaneous).

c.If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the term provided for therein; except, that Seller Parent and Purchaser agree that the Confidentiality Agreement (including the employee non-solicitation prohibition therein) shall be extended for a period of time equal to the Confidentiality





Agreement’s original term as if such term commenced on the date of this Agreement, and this Section 9.2(c) shall be the requisite mutual written consent amending such Confidentiality Agreement.

d.In the event Seller Parent shall terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 9.1(f) or pursuant to Section 9.1(d) as a result of, or due to, Purchaser’s Intentional Breach(es) of either Section 6.4 or 6.28, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller Parent a fee in the amount equal to $75,000,000 (“Reverse Termination Fee”) as liquidated damages hereunder, by wire transfer of same-day funds on the second Business Day following the date of such termination of this Agreement. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 9.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and (ii) the Reverse Termination Fee payable by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.2(d) is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller Parent and its Affiliates for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance upon this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, and for the loss suffered by reason of the failure of such consummation, which amount would otherwise be uncertain and incapable of accurate determination. If Purchaser fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 9.2(d), it shall also pay any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller Parent in connection with enforcing this Agreement (including by legal action), together with interest on such unpaid amount payable under Section 10.10 (“Collection and Interest Amounts”). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Reverse Termination Fee, if paid, in addition to the Collection and Interest Amounts, (B) any indemnification amounts payable to Seller Parent under Section 6.28(c) and (C) any fee reimbursements payable to Seller Parent under this Agreement, including under Section 6.4(h), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller Parent, the Share Sellers, the Asset Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and shareholders (collectively “Seller Parties”) against Purchaser, any Purchaser Designated Affiliate, the Financing Source and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, Representatives, agents and equityholders (collectively, the “Purchaser Parties”) for any damages, expenses (including any fees and expenses of Representatives), losses or liabilities of any nature and kind incurred or suffered by the Seller Parties (without regard to any limitation on types or measurement of damages in this Agreement including those set forth in the definition “Loss” in Section 1.1 or Section 7.5) in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii), upon payment of the Reverse Termination Fee, the Seller Parties shall have no further remedy in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any breach thereof. In no event shall Purchaser be required to pay the Reverse Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Insofar as Seller Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance to the extent permitted by Section 10.17 and the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee to the extent permitted by this Section 9.2(d), under no circumstances shall any Seller Party be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to require Purchaser to consummate the Closing and an award or judgment entitling Seller Parent to receive the Reverse Termination Fee.

Section 10.2    Amendment; Waiver. Subject to the last sentence of Section 10.6, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Purchaser and Seller Parent, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 10.3    Assignment.

a.Except as permitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 10.3(b), no Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including by sale of stock, operation of Law in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to the Financing Sources as collateral for the Financing.

b.Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate one or more of its Affiliates that are directly or indirectly wholly owned by Purchaser (each, a “Purchaser Designated Affiliate”) to be the purchaser or transferee of some or all of the Shares or the Purchased Assets (and to be a counterparty to one or more of the Ancillary Agreements), provided, that no such designation (i) shall release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) would be reasonably expected to restrict or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements. Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay or reimburse the Sellers for any incremental Tax liabilities and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting solely from the substitution of a Purchaser Designated Affiliate for Purchaser as the purchaser of any of the Shares or the Purchased Assets in accordance with this Section 10.3(b).

Section 10.4    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Letter, the Purchaser Disclosure Letter and all Annexes and Exhibits) contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, except for (i) the Confidentiality Agreement which will remain in full force and effect for the term provided for therein and (ii) any written agreement of the Parties that expressly provides that it is not superseded by this Agreement.

Section 10.5    Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any Party to any other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

Section 10.6    Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except with respect to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties solely with respect to Article VII or as





expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Purchaser, the Sellers, or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries of Section 6.28(d), Section 9.2, Section 10.2, Section 10.3(a), this Section 10.6, and Section 10.12, each of such Sections shall expressly inure to the benefit of the Financing Sources, and the Financing Sources shall be entitled to rely on and enforce the provisions of such Sections, and such Sections (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of Section 6.28(d), Section 9.2, Section 10.2, Section 10.3(a), this Section 10.6, and Section 10.12, may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that is adverse in any material respect to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources).

Section 10.7    Public Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party agrees that, except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws, and the rules and regulations of each stock exchange upon which the securities of either of the Parties or their Affiliates is listed (in which case the disclosing Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) advise the other Party before making such disclosure and (b) provide such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such release or announcement and consider in good faith any comments with respect thereto), no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall be made or caused to be made concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement unless the Parties shall have consulted in advance with respect thereto.

Section 10.8    Return of Information. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated as provided herein:

a.notwithstanding anything in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall return to Seller Parent or destroy, in its sole discretion, all documents and other material received by Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) from the Sellers, or any of their respective Affiliates, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof; and

b.all Confidential Information received by Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives with respect to the Sellers, or any of their respective Affiliates, the Business, Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities as well as the Excluded Assets, Retained Businesses and the Retained Liabilities, shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.9    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 6.4(h), Section 6.12, Section 6.28(c), and Section 9.2), whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the Party incurring such expenses.






Section 10.10    Interest. Unless otherwise specified, if any payment required to be made to a Party under this Agreement is made after the date on which such payment is due, interest shall accrue on such amount from (but not including) the due date of the payment to (and including) the date such payment is actually made at the Interest Rate. All computations of interest pursuant to this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty five (365) days, in each case for the actual number of days from (but not including) the first day to (and including) the last day occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

Section 10.11    Disclosure Letters; Disclosures Modifying Other Sections of Agreement. The Seller Disclosure Letter and the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, and all schedules attached thereto, and all Annexes and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Annex, Exhibit or Schedule or in the Seller Disclosure Letter or Purchaser Disclosure Letter but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. Any information, item or other disclosure set forth in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other Section of this Agreement (or to have been set forth in any other Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, as the case may be), if the relevance of such disclosure to such other Section is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross-reference with respect thereto and notwithstanding any reference to a Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Purchaser Disclosure Letter, as applicable, in such Section of this Agreement. The disclosure of any matter in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Purchaser Disclosure Letter shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by Seller Parent or Purchaser, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.12    Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

a.This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

b.With respect to any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Financing or transactions contemplated thereby or involving a Financing Source (each, a “Proceeding”), each Party irrevocably (i) agrees and consents to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if for any reason the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any New York State court sitting in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceeding brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceeding, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN Section 10.1, OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND





SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

c.THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE TO CAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES TO WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, THE FINANCING OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 10.13    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic .pdf submission), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by telecopy or otherwise) to the other Party, it being understood that both Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 10.14    Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereto are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Section 10.15    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.16    Rules of Construction. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, therefore, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.17    Specific Performance.

a.The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law (i) for any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that, subject only to the limitation set forth in Section 10.17(b) below in the circumstances applicable, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement (including enforcing a Party’s obligation to consummate, and effect, the Closing) and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Section 6.4) and any other agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith (without proof of actual damages, and each Party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy).





b.Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without liming the generality of Section 10.17(a) as it relates to enforcement other than solely the obligation for Purchaser to effect the Closing, it is explicitly agreed that the Seller Parent may seek specific performance of the Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing if and only in the event that (i) all conditions set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3, have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing) at the time when the Closing would have occurred, (ii) the Financing has been funded or will be funded at Closing, and (iii) Seller Parent has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded and Share Consideration is issued, then the Sellers shall take such actions as are in its control to cause the Closing to occur.
 
c.Any action or proceeding for any such remedy shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in New York City, and each Party waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. The Parties further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.17, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement, including monetary damages in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 10.17 are not available or otherwise are not granted (or, if such remedies are granted, the right to reimbursement of its costs and expenses relating to such enforcement actions) and (y) nothing contained in this Section 10.17 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.17 before exercising any termination right under Section 9.1 (and pursuing damages after such termination) nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 10.17 or anything contained in this Section 10.17 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter, in each case, subject to the last sentence of Section 9.2(d).

Section 10.18    Affiliate Status. To the extent that a Party is required hereunder to take certain action with respect to entities designated in this Agreement as such Party’s Affiliates, such obligation shall apply to such entities only during such period of time that such entities are Affiliates of such Party. To the extent this Agreement, an Ancillary Agreement requires an Affiliate of any Party to take or omit to take any action, such agreement and obligation includes the obligation of such Party to cause such Affiliate to take or omit to take such actions.

Section 10.19    Translation of Currencies. Except with respect to the determinations set forth in the following two sentences, in the event that the Parties need to convert currencies under this Agreement, the relevant exchange rate shall be determined based on the rate in effect as of the close of business (New York time) two (2) Business Days preceding the applicable determination date as published





on Bloomberg.com. In the event that any Person needs to convert currencies for purposes of calculating the Final Working Capital or the Final Net Cash, the relevant exchange rate shall be determined based on the rate in effect on the Closing Date as captured on Bloomberg.com. In the event that any Person needs to convert currencies for purposes of calculating the amount of any claim under Article VII, the relevant exchange rate shall be determined based on the rate in effect as of the close of business (New York time) two (2) Business Days preceding the date of the written notice given under Section 7.3 with respect to such claim as published on Bloomberg.com. Seller Parent and Purchaser agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing between the Parties, the currency exchange rate for converting United States of America dollars (“USD”) to a currency other than USD, in connection with a payment of any portion the Final Purchase Price under a Local Implementing Agreement, shall be determined by reference to the World Market Closing FX Rates (mid rate) as published by The WM Company / Reuters as of 4:00 p.m. (GMT) on the day that is two Business Days prior to the applicable payment date.

Attention: Scott Lamb, Chief Financial Officer


Re:    Project Summit Commitment Letter
$400 Million Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo Securities”), Barclays Bank PLC (acting through such of its affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate “Barclays” and, together with Wells Fargo Bank and Wells Fargo Securities, the “Commitment Parties” or “we” or “us”) that ICU Medical, Inc. (the “Borrower” or “you”) seeks financing to (a) fund the purchase price for the proposed acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of the Hospira global infusion therapy business division (the “Acquired Company”) from Pfizer Inc. (the “Seller”) pursuant to a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement between the Borrower and the Seller (the “Acquisition Agreement”), (b) pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the Transactions (as
defined below) and (c) finance ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, all as more fully described in the Summary of Proposed Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Annex A (the “Term Sheet”). This Commitment Letter (as defined below) describes the general terms and conditions for senior secured credit facilities of up to $400 million to be provided to the Borrower consisting of (a) a term loan facility of $300 million (the “Term Loan A Facility”), and (b) a revolving credit facility of $100 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, collectively with the Term Loan A Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

As used herein, the term “Transactions” means, collectively, the Acquisition, the initial borrowing and other extensions of credit under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date and the payment of fees, commissions and expenses in connection with each of the foregoing. This letter, including the Term Sheet and the Conditions Annex attached hereto as Annex B (the “Conditions Annex”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Commitment Letter”. The date on which the Senior Credit Facilities are closed is referred to as the “Closing Date”. Except as the context otherwise




requires, references to the “Borrower and its subsidiaries” will include the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries after giving effect to the Acquisition.
1.Commitment. Upon the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the fee letter dated the date hereof from the Commitment Parties to you (the “Fee Letter”) and subject solely to the conditions set forth under the heading “Conditions to Commitment” below and the Conditions Annex, Wells Fargo Bank is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to provide to the Borrower 50% of the principal amount of each of the Senior Credit Facilities and Barclays is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to provide to the Borrower 50% of the principal amount of each of the Senior Credit Facilities (the “Commitment”).

2.Titles and Roles. Wells Fargo Securities and Barclays each acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it, will act as the joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers (in such capacities, the “Lead Arrangers”) in arranging and syndicating the Senior Credit Facilities. Wells Fargo Bank (or an affiliate selected by it) will act as the sole administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Senior Credit Facilities.

Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting reasonably (but not to exceed 45 days after the Closing Date, unless extended by the Administrative Agent). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties set forth in the Term Sheet relating to corporate existence of the Credit Parties and good standing of the Credit Parties in their respective jurisdictions of organization; power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability, in each case, relating to the Credit Parties entering into and performance of the Financing Documentation; no conflicts with or consents under the Credit Parties’ organizational documents; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; use of proceeds not violating FCPA, OFAC and other anti-terrorism laws; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the Investment Company Act; the PATRIOT Act; and creation, validity and, subject to the parenthetical in the immediately preceding sentence, perfection of security interests in the Collateral. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provision”.

4.Syndication.

(a)     The Lead Arrangers intend and reserve the right, both prior to and after the Closing Date, to secure commitments for the Senior Credit Facilities from a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities, in each case, other than Disqualified Institutions (as defined below), identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to you (with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (such banks, financial institutions and other entities committing to the Senior Credit Facilities, including Wells Fargo Bank and Barclays, the “Lenders”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter. Until the earlier of (i) the date that a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved and (ii) the date that is 60 days following the Closing Date (the “Syndication Date”), you agree to, and subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate members of management of the Acquired Company to, assist us actively in achieving a syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities that is satisfactory to us and you. To assist us in our syndication efforts, you agree that you will, and will cause your representatives and advisors to, and subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate members of management of the Acquired Company and Seller and their representatives and advisors to, (i) provide promptly to the Commitment Parties and the other Lenders upon reasonable request all customary information reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arrangers to assist the Lead Arrangers and each Lender in their evaluation of the Transactions and to complete the syndication, (ii) make your senior management and (to the extent reasonable and practical and subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement) appropriate members of management of the Acquired Company available to prospective Lenders on reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times during regular business hours and places, (iii) host, with the Lead Arrangers, one or more meetings and/or calls with prospective Lenders at mutually agreed times during regular business hours and locations, (iv) assist, and cause your affiliates and advisors to assist, the Lead Arrangers in the preparation of one or more confidential information memoranda and other marketing materials in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers (which memoranda and materials will be finalized no later than 30 days following the date hereof) to be used in connection with the syndication, (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts of the Lead Arrangers benefit materially from the existing lending relationships of the Borrower and the Acquired Company, (vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the Borrower’s expense, (A) a current public corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), (B) a current public corporate family rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and (C) a current public rating with respect to each of the Senior Credit Facilities from each of S&P and Moody’s, in each case, prior to the launch of general syndication, (vii) between the date hereof and the Closing Date, agree to manage the business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, and not permit any restricted payments including, but not limited to, dividends, share repurchases and acquisitions (other than acquisitions not to exceed an aggregate amount of up to $10 million) and (viii) your ensuring (and, subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement, using your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Company to ensure) that prior to the later of the Closing Date and Syndication Date there will be no competing issues, offerings, placements, arrangements or syndications of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of you or your subsidiaries or the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries, being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Senior Credit Facilities) without the written consent of the Lead Arrangers, unless such issuance, offering, placement, arrangement or syndication could not reasonably be expected, in the reasonable discretion of the Lead Arrangers, to materially impair the syndication of the Senior Credit




Facilities (it being understood that (A) indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and of the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries for capital expenditures, working capital, capital leases, purchase money debt and equipment financings, (B) indebtedness of the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries permitted under the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, and (C) other indebtedness to be agreed among the Borrower and the Lead Arrangers will not be subject to this clause (vii)). For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, or any agreement containing an obligation of confidentiality binding on you, the Acquired Company or your or its respective affiliates; provided that (i) in the event that you do not provide information in reliance on this sentence, you shall (x) provide notice to the Lead Arrangers that such information is being withheld pursuant to such law, rule or regulation or agreement and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the relevant consents under such obligations of confidentiality to allow for the provision of such information and (ii) none of the foregoing shall be construed to limit any of the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter.

(b)    The Lead Arrangers and/or one or more of their affiliates will exclusively manage all aspects of the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities (in consultation with you), including decisions as to the selection and number of potential Lenders to be approached (with your consent not to be unreasonably withheld and excluding Disqualified Institutions), when they will be approached, whose commitments will be accepted (with your consent not to be unreasonably withheld and excluding Disqualified Institutions), any titles offered to the Lenders and the final allocations of the commitments and any related fees among the Lenders, and the Lead Arrangers will exclusively perform all functions and exercise all authority as is customarily performed and exercised in such capacities. Notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Senior Credit Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, unless otherwise agreed to by you, (i) the Commitment Parties shall not be relieved or released from their obligations hereunder (including their obligation to fund the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation in the Senior Credit Facilities, including their respective Commitment, until the initial funding under the Senior Credit Facilities has occurred on the Closing Date, (ii) no assignment by either Commitment Party shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of the Commitment until the initial funding of the Senior Credit Facilities, (iii) unless you and we agree in writing, the Commitment Parties will retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to their respective Commitment in respect of the Senior Credit Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred and (iv) the Lead Arrangers will not syndicate to (a) any person identified by name in writing to the Lead Arrangers on or prior to the date hereof, (b) any clearly identifiable affiliate (by virtue of their name) of any person referred to in clause (a) above (other than bona fide diversified debt funds) and (c) competitors (and such competitors’ sponsors and affiliates identified in writing or clearly identifiable solely on the basis of their names) (other than bona fide diversified debt funds) of the Borrower, separately identified in writing by you to us after the date hereof and prior to the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities (collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”). After the Closing Date, the list of Disqualified Institutions may be updated from time to time to include competitors (and such competitors’ sponsors and affiliates identified in writing or clearly identifiable solely on the basis of their names) (other than bona fide diversified debt funds) of the Borrower separately identified in writing to the Administrative Agent. No such identification after the date hereof shall apply retroactively to disqualify any person that has previously acquired an assignment or participation of an interest in any of the Senior Credit Facilities with respect to such amounts previously acquired. Without limiting your obligations to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, (A) it is understood that the Commitment hereunder is not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Senior Credit Facilities and in no event shall the successful completion of the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date and (B) the obtaining of the ratings referenced in the immediately preceding paragraph, or the compliance with any of the other provisions set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date or any time thereafter.





5.Information.

(a)You represent, warrant and covenant that (but the accuracy of which representation and warranty shall not be a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date) (i) all written information and written data (other than the Projections, as defined below, other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or general industry nature) concerning the Borrower, the Acquired Company and their subsidiaries and the Transactions that has been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties or the Lenders by you, the Acquired Company, Seller or any of your or their representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates (or on your or their behalf) (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, (x) is, and in the case of Information made available after the date hereof, will be, complete and correct in all material respects and (y) does not, and in the case of Information made available after the date hereof, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto, in each case) and (ii) all financial projections concerning the Borrower, the Acquired Company and their subsidiaries, taking into account the consummation of the Transactions, that have been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties or the Lenders by you, the Acquired Company, Seller or any of your or their representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates (or on your or their behalf) (the “Projections”) have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you or the Acquired Company or the Seller to be reasonable at the time made available to the Commitment Parties or the Lenders, it being understood that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results may vary materially from the Projections. You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties contained in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will immediately notify us and promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations are correct in all material respects under those circumstances. Solely as they relate to matters with respect to the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date, the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants are made to the best of your knowledge. We will be entitled to use and rely upon, without responsibility to verify independently, the Information and the Projections. You acknowledge that we may share with any of our affiliates (it being understood that such affiliates will be subject to the confidentiality agreements between you and us), and such affiliates may share with the Commitment Parties, any information related to you, the Acquired Company, or any of your or their subsidiaries or affiliates (including, without limitation, in each case, information relating to creditworthiness) and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)You acknowledge that (i) the Commitment Parties will make available, on your behalf, the Information, Projections and other marketing materials and presentations, including the confidential information memoranda (collectively, the “Informational Materials”), to the potential Lenders by posting the Informational Materials on SyndTrak Online or by other similar electronic means (collectively, the “Electronic Means”) and (ii) certain prospective Lenders may be “public side” (i.e., lenders that have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information or information that would be MNPI if the Acquired Company were a U.S. public reporting company) (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, “MNPI”) with respect to the Borrower, the Acquired Company, Seller or their subsidiaries or affiliates or any of their respective securities, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such entities’ securities (such Lenders, “Public Lenders”). At the request of the Lead Arrangers, (A) you will assist, and cause your affiliates, advisors, and to the extent possible using commercially reasonable efforts subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement, appropriate representatives of the Acquired Company and Seller to assist, the Lead Arrangers in the preparation of Informational Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities to Public Lenders, which will not contain MNPI (the “Public Informational Materials”), (B) you will identify and conspicuously mark any Public Informational Materials “PUBLIC”, and (C) you will assist the Lead Arrangers in identifying and conspicuously marking any Informational Materials that include any MNPI as “PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that the Commitment Parties may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders (including the Public Lenders) on your behalf, unless you advise the Commitment Parties in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such material should not be distributed to Public Lenders; provided, that you shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such




documents and comply with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure requirements: (w) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (x) notifications of changes in the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities, (y) financial information regarding the Borrower, the Acquired Company and their respective subsidiaries (other than the Projections) and (z) other materials intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of the Informational Materials, including drafts and final versions of the Term Sheet and the Financing Documentation. If you advise us in writing (including by email) that any of the foregoing items (other than the Financing Documentation) should not be distributed to Public Lenders, then the Commitment Parties will not distribute such materials to Public Lenders without further discussions with you. Before distribution of any Informational Materials to prospective Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Informational Materials and confirming the accuracy and completeness in all material respects of the information contained therein and, in the case of Public Informational Materials, confirming the absence of MNPI therefrom. Such customary authorization letter shall exculpate you, the Acquired Business and your and their respective subsidiaries with respect to any liability related to the misuse, and us and our affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse, of the contents of the Informational Materials.

6.Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Commitment Parties and each of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners, representatives, advisors and agents and each of their respective heirs, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all actions, suits, losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature (including legal expenses, subject to the limitations expressed below), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject or that may be incurred or awarded against such Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (a) any matters contemplated by this Commitment Letter, the Transactions or any related transaction (including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter and the Financing Documentation and the closing of the Transactions) or (b) the use or the contemplated use of the proceeds of the Senior Credit Facilities, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and charges) (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole) and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole) in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnified Parties similarly situated and taken as a whole) not later than 10 business day after written demand as they are incurred in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Indemnified Party will have any right to indemnification for any of the foregoing to the extent resulting from (i) such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, (ii) a material breach in bad faith of the funding obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Commitment Letter as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or (iii) any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties, other than any claims against any Commitment Party in its respective capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or arranger or any similar role hereunder or under the Senior Credit Facilities, and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of you or your subsidiaries or affiliates. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. You also agree that no Indemnified Party will have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, or otherwise) to you or your affiliates or to your or their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability to you is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach in bad faith of its obligations under this Commitment Letter. Neither any Indemnified Party nor you or the Acquired Company (or any of your or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) will be liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages (in the case of you, other than in respect of any such damages required to be indemnified under this paragraph) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Financing Documentation or any other element of the Transactions. No Indemnified Party will be liable to you, your affiliates or any other person for any damages arising from the use




by others of Informational Materials or other materials obtained by Electronic Means, except to the extent that your damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party. You shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding effected without your prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with, and to the extent required by, this paragraph. You shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party affected thereby (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnified Party to claim indemnification hereunder unless such settlement (x) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnified Party, (y) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and (z) requires no action on the part of the Indemnified Party other than its consent.

7.Expenses. You agree to reimburse each of the Commitment Parties, from time to time on written demand, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Commitment Parties, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Commitment Parties and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty), due diligence expenses and all printing, reproduction, document delivery, travel, CUSIP, SyndTrak and communication costs, incurred in connection with the syndication and execution of the Senior Credit Facilities and the preparation, review, negotiation, execution, delivery and enforcement of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Financing Documentation and any security arrangements in connection therewith regardless of whether the Closing Date occurs.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Commitment Parties shall have the right to review and approve any public announcement or public filing made by

Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Facility Increases will have the same Guarantees from the Guarantors and, if applicable, will be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral as the other Senior Credit Facilities.

The proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Facility Increases may be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries.

In the case of the incurrence of any indebtedness or liens or the making of any investments, restricted payments or fundamental changes or the designation of any restricted subsidiaries or unrestricted subsidiaries in connection with a permitted acquisition whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (a “Limited Condition Acquisition”), at the Borrower’s option, the relevant ratios and baskets shall be
determined as of the date the definitive acquisition agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into and calculated as if the Limited Condition Acquisition and other pro forma events in connection therewith were consummated on such date; provided that if the Borrower has made such an election, in connection with determining whether the calculation of any ratio or basket with respect to the incurrence of any debt or liens, or the making of any investments, restricted payments, prepayments of subordinated debt, asset sales,




fundamental changes or the designation of a restricted subsidiary or unrestricted subsidiary is permitted on or following such date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such acquisition is terminated, any such ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other pro forma events in connection therewith (including any incurrence of indebtedness) have been consummated as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable test period (other than for purposes of calculating any restricted payments capacity). For the avoidance of doubt, if any of such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the person subject to such acquisition or investment, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken.

Documentation:
The documentation for the Senior Credit Facilities will include, among other items, a credit agreement, guarantees and appropriate pledge, security, mortgage and other collateral documents (collectively, the “Financing Documentation”), all consistent with this Term Sheet. The Financing Documentation will contain such other terms as are usual and customary for credit facilities for comparably rated companies in a similar industry, consistent with the operational requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in light of their size, cash flow, industry business, business practices and operations; it being understood and agreed that the Financing Documentation will give effect to the Limited Conditionality Provision and will contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, events of default and financial definitions, with basket sizes, exceptions and other modifications as shall be determined by the Lead Arrangers (in consultation with the Borrower) as well as customary EU bail-in provisions and Administrative Agent mechanics. The provisions of this paragraph are referred to as the “Documentation Principles.”

Guarantors:    
The obligations of (a) the Borrower under the Senior Credit Facilities and (b) any Credit Party (as defined below) under any hedging agreements and under any treasury management arrangements entered into between such Credit Party and any counterparty that is a Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or any affiliate thereof) at the time such hedging agreement or treasury management arrangement is executed (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”) will be unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each existing and subsequently acquired or formed wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Borrower (each a “Guarantor”; such guarantee being referred to as a “Guarantee”); provided that Guarantors will not include (i) any Excluded Subsidiaries (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles), (ii) any foreign subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the




meaning of Section 957(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (any subsidiary described in this clause (ii), a “CFC”); (iii) any domestic subsidiary that has no material assets other than the capital stock of one or more foreign subsidiaries that are CFCs (any subsidiary described in this clause (iii), a “FSHCO”), (iv) any subsidiary that is directly or indirectly owned by a CFC or an FSHCO; (v) any unrestricted subsidiary, (vi) any domestic subsidiary to the extent prohibited or restricted by applicable law whether on the Closing Date or thereafter, or would require or be subject to any governmental authority or regulatory third party consent or approval, or would be prohibited or restricted by contract existing on the Closing Date or, with respect to subsidiaries acquired after the Closing Date, by contract existing when such subsidiary was acquired and not in contemplation of such acquisition, or resulting in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower or any of its
direct or indirect subsidiaries, as reasonably determined in writing by Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent, and (vii) any subsidiary where the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree the cost of obtaining a guarantee by such subsidiary would be excessive in light of the practical benefit to the Lenders
afforded thereby. All Guarantees shall be guarantees of payment and not of collection. The Borrower and the Guarantors are herein referred to as the “Credit Parties”.

Security:                 
The Secured Obligations will be secured by valid and perfected first priority (subject to certain customary exceptions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and set forth in the Financing Documentation) security interests in and liens on all of the following (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(c) All products, profits and proceeds of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include (i) any leasehold interest in real property (it being understood there shall be no requirement to obtain any landlord waivers, estoppels or collateral




access letters), (ii) any motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title, (iii) all commercial tort claims below a threshold to be agreed, (iv) any governmental licenses or state or local franchises, charters and authorizations, to the extent a security interest in any such license, franchise, charter or authorization is prohibited or restricted thereby after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition or restriction, (v) pledges and security interests prohibited or restricted by applicable law (including any requirement to obtain the consent of any governmental authority or regulatory third party unless such consent has been obtained) after giving effect to the applicable antiassignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition or restriction, (vi) margin stock, (vii) equity interests in any person other than wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, to the extent requiring the consent of one or more third parties pursuant to the terms of any applicable organizational documents, joint venture agreement, shareholders’ agreement (after giving effect to the applicable antiassignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code), (viii) any lease, license or agreement or any property subject to a purchase money security interest or similar arrangement permitted under the Financing Documentation to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such lease, license or agreement or purchase money arrangement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition, (ix) any assets to the extent a security interest in such assets would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, as reasonably determined in writing by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent, (x) letter of credit rights, except to the extent constituting a supporting obligation for other Collateral as to which perfection of the security interest in such other Collateral may be accomplished by the filing of a UCC financing statement (it being understood that no actions shall be required to perfect a security interest in letter of credit rights, other than the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement), (xi) any intent to- use application trademark application prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable federal law, (xii) accounts used solely as payroll and other employee wage and benefit accounts, tax accounts (including, without limitation, sales tax accounts) and any tax benefits, escrow accounts, fiduciary or trust accounts held for the benefit of third parties and any funds and other property held in or maintained

No actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required in order to create or perfect any security interests in any assets located or titled outside of the U.S. (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction). All such security interests in personal property and all liens on real property will be created pursuant to, and will comply with, Financing Documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing the requirements of the preceding paragraphs shall be subject to the Limited Conditionality Provision.

Final Maturity:             
The final maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility will occur on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Revolving Credit Maturity Date”) and the commitments with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility will automatically terminate on such date.

The final maturity of the Term Loan A Facility will occur on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Term Loan A Maturity Date”).

Amortization:             
The Term Loan A Facility will amortize in an amount equal to 5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility in the first two years, 7.5% in the third and fourth years and 10% in the fifth year, in each case in equal installments, on a quarterly basis and with the remainder due on the Term Loan A Maturity Date.

Interest Rates and Fees:         
Interest rates and fees in connection with the Senior Credit Facilities will be as specified in the Fee Letter and on Schedule I attached hereto.

Mandatory Prepayments:     
Subject to the next paragraph, the Senior Credit Facilities will be required to be prepaid with:

(b) 100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales, insurance and condemnation recoveries and other asset dispositions by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries (including the issuance by any such subsidiary of any of its equity interests to someone other than the Borrower or a subsidiary of the Borrower), subject to reinvestment provisions and baskets to be mutually agreed upon.





All such mandatory prepayments will be applied first, to prepay outstanding loans under the Term Loan A Facility and any Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis and second, to prepay outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility with no permanent reduction in the commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility. All such mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan A Facility and any Incremental Term Loans will be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in direct order of maturity.

Mandatory prepayments in clause (b) above shall be subject to customary limitations to the extent required to be made from cash at non-U.S. restricted subsidiaries, the repatriation of which would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith) or would be prohibited or restricted by applicable law (including repatriation of any cash); provided that in the case of material adverse tax consequences, on or before the date on which any net cash proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to such net cash proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such amounts has been repatriated, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such amount has been repatriated.

Any Lender may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment (each a “Declining Lender”). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender (such amounts, “Declined Proceeds”) may be retained by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries.

Optional Prepayments and    
Commitment Reductions:    
Loans under the Senior Credit Facilities may be prepaid and unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be reduced at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Borrower, upon notice and in minimum principal amounts and in multiples to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty (except LIBOR breakage costs). Any optional prepayment of the Term Loan Facility or any Incremental Term Loan Facility will be applied as directed by the Borrower to the remaining scheduled amortization payments (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof).

Neither the Borrower nor any of its affiliates shall be required to make a representation, as of the date of any such purchase, that it is not in possession of material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrower or its subsidiaries or their respective securities in connection with such purchase of loans and all parties to the relevant transactions shall render customary “big-boy” disclaimer letters or any such disclaimers shall be incorporated into the terms of the Financing Documentation.

Required Lenders:         
On any date of determination, those Lenders who collectively hold more than 50% of the outstanding loans and unfunded commitments under the Senior Credit Facilities, or if the Senior Credit Facilities have been terminated, those Lenders who collectively hold more than 50% of the aggregate outstandings under the Senior Credit Facilities (the “Required Lenders”); provided that if any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender (to be defined in the Financing Documentation) at such time, then the outstanding loans and unfunded commitments under the Senior Credit Facilities of such Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from the determination of Required Lenders.

The Financing Documentation will permit amendments thereof without the approval or consent of the Lenders to effect a permitted “repricing transaction” (i.e., a transaction in which any tranche of loans is refinanced with a replacement tranche of loans, or is modified with the effect of, bearing a lower rate of interest) other than any Lender holding loans subject to such “repricing transaction” that will continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of loans or modified loans.

The Financing Documentation will contain “yank-a-bank” provisions as are usual and customary for financings of this kind.

indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnified Person to a third party and required to be indemnified pursuant to the indemnification provisions).

Expenses:             
The Borrower shall pay (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Agreed Counsel) of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers (in accordance with Conditions Annex for payments on the Closing Date, and thereafter not later than 10 business days following written demand therefor) associated with the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Financing Documentation and any amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (b) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Agreed Counsel) of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders within 30 days following written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) in connection with the enforcement of the Financing Documentation or protection of rights thereunder.

SCHEDULE I

INTEREST AND FEES

Interest:             
At the Borrower’s option, loans (other than Swingline Loans) will bear interest based on the Base Rate or LIBOR, as described below:

A. Base Rate Option

Interest will be at the Base Rate plus the applicable Interest Margin (as described below). The “Base Rate” is defined as the highest of (a) the greater of 0% and the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent, as established from time to time at its principal U.S. office (which such rate is an index or base rate and will not necessarily be its lowest or best rate charged to its customers or other banks) and (c) the daily LIBOR (as defined below) for a one month Interest Period (as defined below) plus 1%. Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and (i) with respect to Base Rate Loans based on the Federal Funds Rate and LIBOR, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans based on the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365/366 days. Any loan bearing interest at the Base Rate is referred to herein as a “Base Rate Loan”. Base Rate Loans will be made on one business day’s notice and will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon.

B.     LIBOR Option

Interest will be determined for periods (“Interest Periods”) of one, two, three or six months (or twelve months if available and agreed to by all relevant Lenders) as selected by the Borrower and will be at an annual rate for Eurocurrency deposits for the corresponding deposits of U.S. dollars appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable Interest Margin (as described below). LIBOR will be determined by the Administrative Agent at the start of each Interest Period and, other than in the case of LIBOR used in determining the Base Rate, will be fixed through such period. Interest will be paid on the last day of each Interest Period or, in the case of Interest Periods longer than three months, every three months, and will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. LIBOR will be adjusted for maximum statutory reserve requirements (if any) and in no event shall be less than 0%. Any loan bearing interest at LIBOR (other than a Base Rate Loan for which interest is determined by reference to LIBOR) is referred to herein as a “LIBOR Rate Loan”.

LIBOR Rate Loans will be made on three business days’ prior notice and, in each case, will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon.




Swingline loans will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the applicable Interest Margin.

Default Interest:         
Any principal or interest payable under or in respect of the Senior Credit Facilities not paid when due shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2% per annum. Other overdue amounts shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum.

Interest Margins:         
The applicable interest margins (the “Interest Margins”) will be determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid set forth below.

Commitment Fee:         
A commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) will accrue on the unused amounts of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, with exclusions for Defaulting Lenders. Swingline loans will, for purposes of the Commitment Fee calculations only, not be deemed to be a utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility. Such Commitment Fee will determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid set forth below. All accrued Commitment Fees will be fully earned and due and payable quarterly in arrears (calculated on a 360-day basis) for the account of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and will accrue from the Closing Date.

Letter of Credit Fees:         
The Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit participation fees equal to the Interest Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

Other Fees:             
The Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent will receive such other fees as will have been agreed in a fee letter among them and the Borrower.

Pricing Grid:             
The applicable Interest Margins and the Commitment Fee with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility shall be based on the Total Leverage Ratio pursuant to the following grid:

Level
Total Leverage Ratio
Interest Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans
Interest Margin for Base Rate Loans
Commitment Fee
I
Less than 1.00 to 1.00
1.50%
0.50%

1.00%
0.30%
IV
Greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00
2.25%
1.25%

Upon receipt of any Request, the Company shall as promptly as practicable but in any event not later than the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Company of such Request, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, file a Registration Statement with the SEC covering all such Registrable Securities, in accordance with the method or methods of distribution thereof elected by the Shareholder.

The Shareholder shall be entitled to make no more than four (4) Requests in any twelve-month period and eight (8) Requests in the aggregate (it being understood that each underwritten offering under this Agreement shall count as a Request, even if such offering is conducted pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, unless the Shareholder withdraws its request in the circumstances described in the second sentence of Section 5.6, and each such Request shall be to register an amount of Registrable Securities having an aggregate value of at least $50,000,000.

Each Request pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be in writing and shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities. Nothing in this Article 5 shall affect, supersede or otherwise modify any of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in Article 2 or any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 5.3.    Automatic Shelf Registrations. To the extent that the Company qualifies as a well-known seasoned issuer as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (a “WKSI”) at the time of such Request, the Shareholder may request that the Company file with the SEC an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on Form S­3 (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”) permitting the public resale of Registrable Securities in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts and take all actions required or reasonably requested by the Shareholder to maintain the effectiveness of such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and subject to the Blackout Periods set forth in Section 5.2. At the time any Request for a Demand Registration or Shelf Registration is submitted to the Company on or after the date of this Agreement and, pursuant to such Request, the Shareholder requests, in accordance with this Section 5.3, that the Company file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, which covers the Registrable Securities held by the Shareholder. At the written request of the Shareholder, the Company shall pay the registration fee with respect to a take-down from an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement promptly and, in any event, within the time period required by applicable Law after receiving such written request. So long as the Shareholder is entitled to registration rights pursuant to this Article 5, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI and not to become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act). If, at any time following the filing of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status, the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to post-effectively amend the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to a Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 or file a new Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3, have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective during the period in which such Shelf Registration Statement is required to be kept effective in accordance with this Article 5.
Section 5.4.    Selection of Underwriters; Underwritten Offering.

(a)    If the Company determines to publicly sell in an underwritten offering or register for sale any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration pursuant to Section 5.1, a registration relating solely to any employee or director equity or equity-based incentive or compensation plan or arrangement or any similar employee or director compensation or benefit plan, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, a registration relating solely to a corporate reorganization (including by way of merger of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any other business) or acquisition of another business, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall (i) as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event less than three business days prior to the initial filing of a registration statement in connection with such Piggyback Registration (or two days prior to the date of the commencement of any such offering if such Piggyback Registration is conducted as an underwritten offering) give written notice of its intention to effect such sale or registration to the Shareholder and (ii) subject to Section 5.5(b) and Section 5.5(c), include in such Piggyback Registration and in any underwriting involved therein (whether prior to or following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period) all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests (“Piggyback Requests”) made by the Shareholder received by the Company within ten (10) Business Days after such written notice from the Company is given to the Shareholder. Such Piggyback Requests shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be disposed of by the Shareholder.
(b)    If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the aggregate number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering without adversely affecting the success of such offering (including an adverse effect on the offering price), the Company shall include in such registration only such securities as the Company is advised by such managing underwriters can be sold without such an effect, which securities shall be included in the following order of priority:
(i)    first, the securities the Company proposes to sell,
(ii)    second, the securities requested to be included in such registration by the holders of Registrable Securities and holders that are contractually entitled to include such securities therein pursuant to those written agreement(s) entered into by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement and identified on Schedule II hereto (the “Other Registrable Securities”), pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, and
(iii)    third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration.

-16-




US-DOCS\70827213.10



(c)    If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of any holder of Other Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering without adversely affecting the success of such offering (including an adverse effect on the offering price), the Company shall include in such registration only such securities as the Company is advised by such managing underwriters can be sold without such an effect, which securities shall be included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration and (iii) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration.
(d)    The Company and any holder of Other Registrable Securities initiating any Piggyback Registration shall have the right to, in its sole discretion, defer, terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.5 whether or not the Shareholder has elected to include any Registrable Securities in such registration. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the SEC or applicable federal securities Laws and regulations prohibit the Company from including all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Shareholder to be registered in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 5.5, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement only such portion of the Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC or such federal securities Laws and regulations.
Section 5.6.    Withdrawals. The Shareholder may withdraw all or any part of the Registrable Securities from a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement. If such withdrawal is made primarily as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the payment of all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration and such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 5.1. In the case of any other withdrawal, the Shareholder shall pay for the Registration Expenses associated with the withdrawn registration.
Section 5.7.    Registration Procedures. Whenever the Shareholder has made a Request in accordance with Section 5.1 that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:
(a)    (i) in no event later than 30 days after the receipt by the Company of such a Request, prepare and file with the SEC a Required Registration Statement or Required Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof specified in such Request, and shall use reasonable best efforts to have such Required Registration Statement or Required Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and subject to the Blackout Periods set forth in Section 5.2, to keep such Required Registration Statement or Required Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, continuously effective (x) in the case of a Demand Registration, for a period of at least ninety (90) calendar days (or, in the case of an underwritten offering, such period as the underwriters may reasonably require) following

(d)    use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky Laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Shareholder or any managing underwriter or other purchaser may reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Shareholder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the Shareholder; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not

-21-




US-DOCS\70827213.10



If any such registration or comparable statement refers to the Shareholder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if the Shareholder is or would be reasonably expected to be deemed to be a controlling person of the Company, the Shareholder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to the Shareholder and presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by the Shareholder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by the Shareholder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that the Shareholder shall assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company or (ii) in the event that such reference to the Shareholder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to the Shareholder. In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Shareholder is participating, the Shareholder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding the Shareholder as the Company may from time to time reasonably request specifically for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus.
Upon notice by the Company to the Shareholder of any Blackout Period, the Shareholder shall keep the fact of any such notice strictly confidential, and during any Blackout Period, discontinue its offer and disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement and the prospectus relating thereto for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company). The Shareholder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clauses (f), (q)(ii), (q)(iii), (q)(iv) or (q)(v) above, it shall forthwith discontinue its offer and disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement and the prospectus relating thereto until its receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by clause (o)(ii), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus; provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to supplement or amend the applicable Registration Statement and prospectus as promptly as practicable and shall extend the time periods under clause (a) above with respect to the length of time that effectiveness of a Registration Statement must be maintained by the amount of time that the Shareholder is required to discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities.

Subject to Section 7.1, (i) all expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Article 5, including all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky Laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements arising out of or related to any marketing activities undertaken pursuant to Section 5.7(e), the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and fees (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”) and (ii) all other expenses of the Shareholder incident to the registration and sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this agreement and all fees, costs and expenses of its counsel, accountants, advisers or representatives relating to the registration and sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall in each case be borne by the Shareholder.

-22-




US-DOCS\70827213.10



performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants retained by the Company and (ii) any underwriter’s discount or commission for the sale of Registrable Securities in underwritten offerings under Sections 5.4 and 5.5 that is 3% or less of the public offering price.

If the Company has not received, on or before the second Business Day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such holder, the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such holder. The failure to so include in any Registration Statement the Registrable Securities of a holder of Registrable Securities (with regard to that Registration Statement) shall not result in any liability on the part of the Company to such holder.
Section 5.10.    Holdback Agreements. The Shareholder agrees to enter into customary agreements restricting the sale or distribution of Equity Securities (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) to the extent reasonably required in writing by the lead managing underwriters with respect to an applicable underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company relating to the registration of Equity Securities having an aggregate value of at least $50,000,000 during the period commencing on the date of the request (which shall be no earlier than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the expected “pricing” of such underwritten offering) and continuing for not more than ninety (90) calendar days after the date of the “final” prospectus (or “final” prospectus supplement if the underwritten offering is made pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement), pursuant to which such underwritten offering shall be made, plus an extension period, as may be proposed by the lead managing underwriters to address FINRA regulations regarding the publishing of research, or such lesser period as is required by the lead managing underwriters. The Shareholder shall not be required to enter into a holdback agreement pursuant to this Section 5.10 (a) at any time when the aggregate number of Shares that are Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder and its Group Members, as a group, is less than 10% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (b) unless the directors and executive officers of the Company are subject to comparable restrictions and (c) unless the Shareholder has had the opportunity to review and provide reasonable comments on any such holdback agreement. The postponement rights in clause (b) of the first sentence in Section 5.2 and the holdback obligation in this Section 5.10 shall not be applicable to the Shareholder for more than a total of one hundred fifty (150) calendar days during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months.
Section 5.11.    Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Shareholder the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of

-23-




US-DOCS\70827213.10



the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:
(a)    make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b)    file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
(c)    so long as the Shareholder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to the Shareholder promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act and of the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed with the SEC and (iii) such other reports and documents as the Shareholder may reasonably request in connection with availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration, in each case to the extent not readily publicly available.
Section 5.12.    Company Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Shareholder, its Affiliates and each of its and their respective directors, officers, partners, members, employees, advisors, representatives and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Shareholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses whatsoever (including reasonable, documented expenses of investigation and reasonable, documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto covering the resale of any Registrable Securities by or on behalf of the Shareholder or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or any violation of the Securities Act or state securities laws or rules thereunder by the Company relating to any action or inaction by the Company in connection with such registration, except insofar as such untrue statement or omission is based on information contained in any affidavit or statement so furnished in writing by the Shareholder expressly stated to be used in connection with such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Shareholder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Shareholder.
Section 5.13.    Shareholder Indemnification. The Shareholder and any Permitted Transferees jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company, its Affiliates, its and their respective directors, officers, partners, members and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable, documented expenses of investigation and

-24-




US-DOCS\70827213.10



reasonable, documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto covering the resale of any Registrable Securities by or on behalf of the Shareholder or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the Shareholder expressly stated to be used in connection with such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder shall not be liable for any amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by the Shareholder from sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement to which the claims relate. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Shareholder may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Company.
Section 5.14.    Resolution of Claims. Any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying Party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided that the failure so to notify the indemnifying Party shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeits substantive rights or defenses by reason of such failure. If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the indemnifying Party as above provided, the indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (b) the indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable amount of time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Parry or (c) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying Party and the indemnified party and such parties have been advised by such counsel that either (i) representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (ii) it is reasonably foreseeable that there will be one or more material legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying Party. In any of such cases, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such action with its own counsel, the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. No indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such

-25-




US-DOCS\70827213.10



indemnified party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include an omission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
Section 5.15.    Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.12 or Section 5.13 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable Law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying Party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of Law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying Party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any loss, claim, damage or liability referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5.15, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.15 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5.15. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Section 5.16.    Company Facilitation of Sale. If any Registrable Securities are certificated and bear any restrictive legend, or are held in non-certificated book-entry form and are subject to any stop transfer or similar instruction or restriction, the Company shall upon the request of the holder of such Registrable Securities, as applicable, promptly cause such legends to be removed and new certificates without any restrictive legends to be issued or cause such stop transfer or similar instructions or restrictions to be promptly terminated and removed if (a) such Registrable Securities have been resold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (b) the holder of such Registrable Securities provides the Company and/or transfer agent, as applicable, with reasonable assurance that such Registrable Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise without registration and without any restriction whatsoever under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, including, if requested by the Company, an opinion of outside legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company and/or transfer agent, as applicable, to such effect.
Section 5.17.    Transfers. To the extent that any Registrable Securities are Transferred, the obligations of the Company shall not be expanded in any respect and, the registration rights provided for in this Article 5, to the extent assigned, shall be shared by all holders of Registrable Securities and all such persons shall be jointly and severally liable for any obligations.

Section 6.2.    Designation of Director.

ICU Medical Inc. to Acquire the Hospira Infusion Systems Business
from Pfizer Inc. for $1 Billion in Cash and Stock

The addition of Hospira’s IV pumps, solutions, and devices business to ICU Medical’s existing portfolio
will create a leading pure-play infusion therapy company

Creates an integrated pure-play infusion therapy company with focus and scale
Combined business to compete in the US market with a unified organization and a complementary portfolio
Extends global reach for the combined company with direct operations in over 20 countries
Value-creating and risk mitigated deal structure
ICU Medical Inc. management conference call today at 8:30 am EST, details below

SAN CLEMENTE, CA and NEW YORK, NY, October 6, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE). ICU Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: ICUI) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which ICU Medical will acquire all of Pfizer’s global infusion therapy business, Hospira Infusion Systems (HIS), for $1 billion in cash and stock. The Hospira Infusion Systems business includes IV pumps, solutions, and devices that, when combined with ICU Medical’s existing businesses, will create a leading pure-play infusion therapy company, with estimated pro forma combined revenues of approximately $1.45 billion based on trailing twelve month results as of June 2016.

Under the terms of the agreement, Pfizer will receive approximately $400 million in newly issued shares of ICU Medical common stock and $600 million in cash from ICU Medical subject to customary adjustment for net working capital. Upon completion of the transaction, which the companies expect to occur in the first quarter of 2017 subject to customary closing conditions including required regulatory approvals, Pfizer will own approximately 16.6 percent of ICU Medical. In addition, so long as Pfizer continues to hold 10% or more of ICU Medical’s common equity, it will have the right to nominate one director to the company’s board of directors in ICU Medical’s proxy materials, and Pfizer has agreed to certain restrictions on transfer of its shares for at least 18 months.

John Young, Group President of Pfizer Essential Health commented, “We are pleased that Hospira Infusion Systems is combining with ICU Medical, and we believe the combined company will be well positioned in the marketplace to deliver value to customers through its strong product portfolio and the expertise of colleagues from both companies. I’m proud of the Hospira Infusion Systems team and their positive impact on patients around the world.”

The acquisition complements ICU Medical’s existing business by creating a company that has a complete IV therapy product portfolio from solutions to pumps to non-dedicated infusion sets, and gives the company a significantly enhanced global footprint and a platform for continued competitiveness and growth. With an integrated product offering, ICU Medical will hold industry-leading positions in key segments and have access to the full US infusion marketplace with a compelling product portfolio.
 
“The combination of these two businesses is the natural evolution of a productive relationship that began more than 20 years ago when Hospira began integrating ICU Medical’s needlefree technology into their infusion offering globally,” explained Vivek Jain, ICU Medical’s Chief Executive Officer. “By acquiring the Hospira Infusion Systems business, currently our largest single customer, we create a pure-play infusion business with the focus and scale to compete globally, eliminate our single customer concentration issue, and have a significant value creation opportunity as a much larger company. We look forward to serving more customers as we continue to bring clinical and economic value to the marketplace.”

ICU Medical’s financial advisors for the transaction were Barclays and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and Latham & Watkins acted as its legal advisor. Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Guggenheim Securities served as Pfizer’s financial advisors for the transaction, while Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Ropes & Gray LLP served as its legal advisors.

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including peer companies. Our management believes that the non-GAAP data provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding our performance and facilitates a more meaningful comparison of results of operations between current and prior periods. We use non-GAAP financial measures in addition to and in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to analyze and assess the overall performance of our business, in making financial, operating and planning decisions, and in determining executive incentive compensation. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS").

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following items:

Intangible asset amortization expense: We do not acquire businesses or capitalize certain patent costs on a predictable cycle. The amount of purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the term of amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition. Capitalized patent costs can vary significantly based on our current level of development activities. We believe that excluding amortization of intangible assets provides the users of our financial statements with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods.

Depreciation expense: We exclude depreciation expense in deriving adjusted EBITDA because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and the depreciable lives can vary significantly resulting in considerable variability in depreciation expense among companies.

Stock compensation expense: Stock-based compensation is generally fixed at the time the stock-based instrument is granted and amortized over a period of several years. The value of stock options is determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control. The value of our restricted stock awards is determined using the grant date stock price, which may not be indicative of our operational performance over the expense period. Additionally, in order to establish the fair value of performance-based stock awards, which are currently an element of our ongoing stock-based compensation, we are required to apply judgment to estimate the probability of the extent to which performance objectives will be achieved. Based on the above factors, we believe it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation in order to better understand our operating performance.

Restructuring and strategic transaction: We incur restructuring and strategic transaction charges that result from events, which arise from unforeseen circumstances and/or often occur outside of the ordinary course of our ongoing business. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financial statements, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our ongoing operations with prior and future periods.

Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes, net of tax, intangible asset amortization expense, stock compensation expense, restructuring and strategic transaction, legal settlement and bargain purchase gain, which was tax free. We apply our GAAP consolidated effective tax rate to our non-GAAP financial measures, other than when the underlying item has a materially different tax treatment.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.

The following tables reconcile our expected GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures:
