(e) minus the outstanding amounts of Indebtedness and Debt-Like Items of the Group Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing; and

(f) minus the amount (if any) by which the Target Net Working Capital exceeds Net Working Capital.

Section 1.3 Closing Date Statements. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Buyers:

(a) a statement (the “Closing Date Financial Certificate”), signed by the Chief Financial Officer, which sets forth a good faith estimate and which shall include reasonably detailed supporting calculations of (i) the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), and the Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus or the Estimated Net Working Capital Deficit, as the case may be, (ii) the Company Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Company Transaction Expenses”), and (iii) the Cash and Cash Equivalents (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), and, in the case of (i), calculated in accordance with the accounting principles set forth on Exhibit B (the “Working Capital Rules”) and presented consistent with Exhibit C, which exhibit provides an illustrative calculation of Net Working Capital as of March 31, 2017. The Company shall provide reasonable supporting detail to evidence the Company’s calculations, explanations and assumptions for the calculation of amounts on the Closing Date Financial Certificate, it being agreed that (x) the Company will permit the Buyers and their Representatives to review and comment in advance on the Closing Date Financial Certificate and (y) the Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by the Buyers on the Closing Date Financial Certificate; and

The Company shall provide reasonable supporting detail to evidence the Company’s calculations, explanations and assumptions for the calculation of amounts on the Closing Date Indebtedness Statement.

Section 1.4 Closing Payments. At the Closing, the Buyers shall:

Section 1.5 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Buyers shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”), which sets forth the Buyers’ good faith calculation of, and which shall include reasonably detailed supporting calculations of, (i) the Net Working Capital, calculated in accordance with the Working Capital Rules and presented consistent with Exhibit C (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), (ii) the amount of Indebtedness and Debt-Like Items of the Group Companies outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Indebtedness”), prepared in accordance with Exhibit D, (iii) the Company Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Company Transaction Expenses”), and (iv) the Cash and Cash Equivalents (the “Closing Cash”). If the Buyers fail to produce the Preliminary Closing Statement within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, then the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, Estimated Closing Company Transaction Expenses, Estimated Closing Indebtedness and Estimated Closing Cash prepared by the Company shall become final and binding. Purchase accounting or other adjustments arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be considered for purposes of determining the Preliminary Closing Statement. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be based on facts and circumstances as they exist immediately prior to the Closing and shall exclude the effect of any act, decision, change in circumstance, development or event arising or occurring on or after the Closing.

(b) The Preliminary Closing Statement shall become the Final Closing Statement and become final and binding upon the Parties hereto on the date that is forty-five (45) days following the date on which the Preliminary Closing Statement was received by the Sellers, unless prior to such date the Sellers deliver to the Buyers written notice of the Sellers’ disagreement with any item (each item, a “Disputed Item” and collectively, the “Disputed Items”) contained in the Preliminary Closing Statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the item, amount and basis for each Disputed Item (a “Notice of Disagreement”). During the forty-five (45) day period following the Sellers’ receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Buyers shall after reasonable advance notice by the Sellers (i) permit the Sellers and their accountants to consult with the Company and the Buyers’ accountants during normal business hours, and (ii) provide to the Sellers and their accountants under reasonable circumstances a copy of the relevant books and records (including

-3-

those of the Buyers’ accountants subject to the execution of appropriate agreements with the Buyers’ accountants) relating to the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement. If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered to the Buyers, then the Preliminary Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with clause (A) or (B) below) shall become the Final Closing Statement and become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of the date (A) on which the Sellers and the Buyers resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the Disputed Items specified in the Notice of Disagreement, and (B) all Disputed Items are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 1.5(c). During the thirty (30) days following the delivery to the Buyers of a Notice of Disagreement, the Buyers and the Sellers shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the Disputed Items specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Any such Disputed Item resolved in writing by the Buyers and the Sellers during the thirty (30) days following the delivery to the Buyers of a Notice of Disagreement shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If the Buyers and the Sellers are able to resolve in writing all of the Disputed Items set forth in the Notice of Disagreement within thirty (30) days following the delivery to the Buyers of such Notice of Disagreement, then the Final Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the agreement of the Buyers and the Sellers.

(c) If the Buyers and the Sellers are unable to resolve the disputed items set forth in the Notice of Disagreement within thirty (30) days following the delivery to the Buyers of such Notice of Disagreement, the Sellers and the Buyers shall submit such dispute to be resolved by (x) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or (y) in the event such accounting firm is unable or unwilling to take such assignment, a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Buyers and the Sellers (the “Accounting Firm”). The Buyers and the Sellers shall submit to the Accounting Firm for review and resolution all Disputed Items (but only such Disputed Items) that are set forth in the Notice of Disagreement which remain in dispute. The Buyers and the Sellers shall instruct the Accounting Firm to select one of its partners experienced in purchase price adjustment disputes to make a final determination of the Net Working Capital, the outstanding amounts of Indebtedness and Debt-Like Items as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Company Transaction Expenses and the Cash and Cash Equivalents calculated with reference to the items that are in dispute as set forth in the Notice of Disagreement. In resolving the items in the Notice of Disagreement that are still in dispute and in determining the Net Working Capital, the outstanding amounts of Indebtedness and Debt-Like Items of the Group Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Company Transaction Expenses and the Cash and Cash Equivalents, the Accounting Firm shall (i) not assign to any item in dispute a value that is (A) greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by the Buyers, on the one hand, or the Sellers, on the other hand, or (B) less than the smallest value for such item assigned by the Buyers, on the one hand, or the Sellers, on the other hand, (ii) make a final determination of the Disputed Items in accordance with the provisions, the guidelines and the procedures set forth in this Agreement, (iii) act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (iv) render a final resolution in writing to the Buyers and the Sellers (which final resolution shall be requested by the Buyers and the Sellers to be delivered not more than thirty (30) days following submission of such Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm or such longer period as the Accounting Firm may reasonably require), which, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties with respect to the Net Working Capital, the outstanding amounts of Indebtedness and Debt-Like Items of the Group Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Company Transaction Expenses and the Cash and Cash Equivalents, and (v) not

-4-

engage in independent factual investigation, not hear evidence from either the Buyers or the Sellers outside the presence of both the Buyers and the Sellers, and not engage in ex parte communications with the Buyers or the Sellers. The fees and disbursements of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by (A) the Buyers in the proportion that the aggregate dollar value of the Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Buyers bears to the aggregate value of all such items so disputed and (B) the Sellers in the proportion that the aggregate dollar value of the Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers bears to the aggregate value of all such items so disputed.

(d) The Preliminary Closing Statement (as adjusted by the agreement of the Parties or at the direction of the Accounting Firm, as applicable) shall be deemed final and binding upon the Parties hereto and shall become the Final Closing Statement for the purposes of this Section 1.5 upon the earliest of the (i) failure of the Sellers to notify the Buyers of a dispute within forty-five (45) days after delivery to the Sellers of the Preliminary Closing Statement, (ii) resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 1.5(b), by the Buyers and the Sellers, or (iii) resolution of all remaining disputes, pursuant to Section 1.5(c), by the Accounting Firm.

(e) Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Statement:

(i) if there is a Final Deficit, then the Sellers shall pay an amount equal to such Final Deficit to the Buyers in accordance with Section 1.5(f); and

(ii) if there is a Final Surplus, then the Buyers shall pay an amount equal to such Final Surplus to the Sellers in accordance with Section 1.5(f).

(f) All payments required under this Section 1.5 shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account(s) as shall be designated in writing by the recipient(s).

(g) The Parties acknowledge the procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 are not intended to permit the introduction of accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies in connection with the determination of Net Working Capital other than as required by the Working Capital Rules.

Section 1.6 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyers shall be entitled to withhold from any amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be withheld under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. In the event that the Buyers determine that withholding is required under applicable Law with regard to amounts otherwise payable to the Sellers under this Agreement, the Buyers shall promptly notify the Sellers of such withholding obligation and the Buyers shall work in good faith with the Sellers to avoid the application of any such withholding obligation. In connection with any payments to be made by the Buyers pursuant to Section 1.4(a) and Section 1.4(b), to the extent such payments are made to non-U.S. Persons, the

-5-

Company shall deliver to the Buyers reasonably in advance of the Closing Date any necessary Tax forms as required under the Code or any local, state or foreign Tax Laws to establish the appropriate withholding Taxes (if any) and Tax reporting required in connection with such payments.

Each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business as a foreign entity under the Laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business, or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties or assets, makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure of such qualification, license or registration would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(c), (i) all of the outstanding Equity Interests of each Company Subsidiary are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights and are owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), (ii) there are no options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities, subscriptions, rights (including any preemptive rights), calls, commitments of any character whatsoever or other agreements relating to, or the value of which is based on, the Equity

(b) The Company shall, from time to time prior to the date falling five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, by notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Supplement a Schedule if the Company becomes aware of any fact or condition that occurred prior to the date of this Agreement and that would have been required to be set forth or described in the Schedules (each, an “Existing Condition”). The delivery of any Supplement pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) will not cure any breach that otherwise might exist or come to exist hereunder by reason of such matters reflected in any such Supplement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any breach by the Company of this Section 5.5(b) shall be deemed for all purposes (including for purposes of Article IX) to constitute a breach of the applicable representation and warranty to which any such Existing Condition relates and shall not constitute a breach of covenant.

No later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Sellers of such Tax Return, the Sellers shall notify the Buyers and the Company of the existence of any objection the Sellers may have to any items set forth on such draft Tax Return. If, after consulting in good faith, the Sellers and the Company are unable to resolve such objection(s) in a mutually agreeable manner, such objection(s) shall be referred to the Accounting Firm for resolution, the costs of which shall be borne by the Party whose position loses, or equitably allocated amongst the Parties based on whose positions do not prevail as determined by the Accounting Firm. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall be responsible for a portion of the costs of the Accounting Firm in the event, and to the extent, of a determination by the Accounting Firm to the effect that any computations relating to Taxes in the statements delivered pursuant to Section 1.3 were in error. To the extent necessary, the Buyers and the Company shall cause any such Tax Returns, as finally agreed upon or as finally determined by the Accounting Firm, to be filed in a timely manner (taking into account all extensions). All Tax Returns relating to a Straddle Period shall be prepared and timely filed by the Buyers, and the Sellers shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such Tax Returns. The Buyers shall prepare any such Straddle Period Tax Return in a manner consistent with past practice except as required by Law, and shall provide to the Sellers a draft of such Tax Return at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, taking into account any extensions. No later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Sellers of such Tax Return, the Sellers shall notify the Buyers of the existence of any objection the Sellers may have to any items set forth on such draft Tax Return. If, after consulting in good faith, the Sellers and the Buyers are unable to resolve such objection(s) in a mutually agreeable manner, such objection(s) shall be referred to the Accounting Firm for resolution, the costs of which shall be borne by the Party whose position loses, or equitably allocated amongst

-32-

the Parties based on whose positions do not prevail as determined by the Accounting Firm. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall be responsible for a portion of the costs of the Accounting Firm in the event, and to the extent, of a determination by the Accounting Firm to the effect that any computations relating to Taxes in the statements delivered pursuant to Section 1.3 were in error. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of any Taxes shown as due on the Tax Returns described in this clause (a) with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Sellers shall pay the Buyers such amounts (without duplication for any amounts taken into account as a component of Net Working Capital, Company Transaction Expenses, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Indebtedness, Debt-Like Items or otherwise as an adjustment to the Purchase Price under Article I) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and if any such payment is not made, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may make a claim for any such amounts pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement. With respect to any Straddle Periods, the Sellers’ obligations shall be governed by Section 5.6(b) such that Sellers are only obligated to pay the Taxes allocated to the portion of the taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

(b) The Parties agree that to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law the income Tax Returns for the Group Companies for the period ending on the Closing Date (the “Company Short Year Income Tax Returns”) shall include all of the income, deductions and credits for all of the activities of the Group Companies through the end of the tax year of the Group Companies ending on the Closing Date, in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76. In connection therewith, for the avoidance of doubt, no election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) shall be made. If permitted by applicable Law, the Company shall make an election to treat 70% of any success-based fees that were paid by or on behalf of the Company as an amount that did not facilitate the merger and therefore as deductible in a Pre-Closing Tax Period for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 IRB 746. If none of the Group Companies is able to utilize any deductions reflected on the Company Short Year Income Tax Return or any applicable Straddle Tax Return due to the lack of sufficient taxable income for such taxable year ending on the Closing Date, the Company shall carry back any losses reflected on the applicable Company Short Year Income Tax Return or any applicable Straddle Tax Return to prior taxable years to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Such carry-back shall be made as promptly as practicable as permitted under applicable Law (including using IRS Form 4466 and/or IRS Form 1139, as applicable). Any such Tax refunds shall be promptly remitted to the Sellers, except to the extent any such refunds were already taken into account as a component of Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, or otherwise expressly treated pursuant to the terms hereof as an adjustment to the Purchase Price under Article I (in which case only the refunds in excess of such amounts shall be remitted to the Sellers). For the avoidance of doubt, any such carry-back (and any Tax Returns or related forms required in order to effectuate such carry-back shall be treated as a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period subject to the provisions of Section 5.6(a). The allocation of Taxes for any taxable period of any Group Company that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be determined (i) in the case of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts, sales Tax, use Tax, withholding Tax, payroll Tax or employment Tax by closing the books of such Group Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purposes, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which such Group Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, by multiplying such Taxes by a fraction

-33-

the numerator of which is the number of days from the beginning of such taxable period through the close of business on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such taxable period.

(i) If a claim shall be made by any taxing authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, then such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice, and in any event, notice within five (5) days of becoming aware of such claim, to the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim and of any counterclaim the indemnified party proposes to assert (a “Tax Claim”); provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, subject to Section 5.6(c)(ii), the Sellers shall, solely at their own cost and expense, control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in their sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any taxing authority with respect thereto, and may, in their sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and ▇▇▇ for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall not settle such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Buyers, solely at their own cost and expense, and counsel of their own choosing, shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of the prosecution or defense of such Tax Claim if they reasonably determine that such Tax Claim could have a material adverse impact on the Taxes of any of the Group Companies in a taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date. At the request of the Sellers, and at the Sellers’ expense, the Company shall provide Sellers with assistance, information and documentation as may be reasonably requested in connection with a Tax Claim.

(ii) The Sellers and the Buyers shall jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of any of the Group Companies for a Straddle Period, and shall bear their own respective costs and expenses. Neither the Sellers nor the Buyers shall settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) With respect to any Tax Claim that the Sellers elect not to control pursuant to clause (i), the Buyers shall control all such proceedings. The Buyers shall not settle such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Sellers, solely at their own cost and expense, and counsel of their own choosing, shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of the prosecution or defense of such Tax Claim. The Buyers shall have a right to settle any such Tax Claim without the consent of the Sellers if the Sellers unreasonably delay consent

-34-

in a manner that is reasonably likely to result in additional adverse Tax consequences to the Buyers after the Closing.

(iv) This Section 5.6(c), and not Section 9.3, shall be controlling with respect to any Tax Claims.

(d) Except to the extent included in Current Assets in Net Working Capital as finally determined hereunder, or as a component of Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, or otherwise expressly treated pursuant to the terms hereof as an adjustment to the Purchase Price under Article I, and without duplication for any Tax refunds determined and paid pursuant to Section 5.6(b), any Tax refund or credit (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) that is received by the Buyers, any Group Company or any of their Affiliates shall be the property of the Sellers to the extent such refund or credit is attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a refund attributable to the carryback of a Tax attribute from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. Any such Tax refund or credit that is received by the Buyers, any Group Company or any of their Affiliates, net of any Taxes and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, shall be promptly paid over to the Sellers. In the event that any such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed, the Sellers shall promptly repay to the Buyers the amount of any payment (together with any interest or penalty imposed as a result of such disallowance, together with any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith) previously paid by the Buyers to the Sellers. At the request of the Sellers, the Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Tax refund or credit attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and the Sellers shall reimburse the Buyers for any reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with a claim for such refunds requested by the Sellers.

(e) From and after the Closing through the close of business on the Closing Date, the Buyers shall not, and shall cause the Group Companies not to, take any action outside of the Ordinary Course which would affect any item included in Net Working Capital or otherwise would result in any adjustment to Purchase Price under Article I, in either case which relates to Tax or Taxes.

(f) From and after the Closing Date, the Buyers shall cause the Group Companies not to, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, (i) file any amended Tax Returns that may affect Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or otherwise affect the liability of the Sellers, except as required by Law, or (ii) initiate or enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement or program with any taxing authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(g) The Buyers shall not make or permit to be made any election under Section 338(g) of the Code or under Section 336 of the Code, or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) The Sellers and the Buyers shall each, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (solely to the extent that third party expenses are incurred), (i) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by either of them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return (including, for the avoidance of doubt, assistance by the Sellers

-35-

following the Closing with respect to any Tax Returns that the Buyers and the Company are required to prepare hereunder), audit or other examination by any Governmental Entity responsible for the administration of Tax, or Tax audits or actions relating to Taxes, (ii) retain and provide the other with any records or other information which may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, or action, and (iii) provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination, action or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other for any relevant period.

(i) The Sellers shall deliver to the Buyers a duly executed and acknowledged certificate, in form and substance acceptable to Buyers and in compliance with the Code and Treasury Regulations, certifying such facts as to establish that the sale of the Interests and any other transactions contemplated hereby are exempt from withholding pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code.

(j) The Sellers shall cause all Tax allocation agreements or Tax sharing agreements as between any of the Group Companies and the Sellers to be terminated as of the Closing Date, and shall ensure that such agreements are of no further force or effect as to any of the Group Companies on and after the Closing Date and that there shall be no further liabilities or obligations imposed on any of the Group Companies under any such agreements.

(k) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar non-income Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to the Buyers. The Buyers will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and any expenses incurred in connection with such filings shall be allocated equally to the Buyers and the Sellers under this Section 5.6(k).

(l) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Buyers agree that they shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, (i) preserve and keep the records applicable to pre-Closing periods (including all Tax and accounting records) of the Group Companies for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing, or for any longer periods as may be required by any Governmental Entity or ongoing litigation, and (ii) make such records available to the Sellers as may be reasonably required by the Sellers. If the Buyers, the Company or any Company Subsidiary wishes to destroy such records after the time specified above, the Buyers shall first give sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Sellers, and the Sellers shall have the right at their respective option and expense, upon prior written notice given to the Buyers within that sixty (60)-day period, to take possession of the records within ninety (90) days after the date of the Sellers’ notice to the Buyers.

The Buyers shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any such claim without the written consent of such Indemnified D&O Person.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company or the Sellers shall purchase, and maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years thereafter, (i) a tail policy to the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained with respect to the Company, which tail policy shall be effective for a period from the Closing through and including the date six (6) years after the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing, and which tail policy shall contain substantially the same coverage and amounts as, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous than, in the aggregate, the coverage currently provided by such current policy and shall provide coverage for all Indemnified D&O Persons and (ii) “run off” coverage as provided by the fiduciary and employee benefit policies maintained with respect to the Company, in each case, covering those Persons who are covered on the date hereof by such policies and with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less advantageous than the coverage provided under the existing policies maintained with respect to the Company.

with respect to the obligations imposed by virtue of those designations under the CIA and the Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such provision by the OIG shall be reasonable and not inconsistent with the criteria of the OIG Consent.

(d) In obtaining the OIG Consent, the Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts and take all commercially reasonable measures, including exercising flexibility in establishing reporting structures, (i) to develop and offer to the OIG (including following comments and other input from the OIG) a post-closing structure and operational plan for the Group Companies that would avoid or eliminate any impediments that might be asserted by the OIG with respect to issuing the OIG Consent and (ii) to work with the OIG in ensuring that the post-closing structure, management and integration plan, including the identification and designation of individuals to be subject to the CIA, result in the OIG Consent. Prior to a Party submitting any notifications, filings or other materials described in the immediately preceding sentence to the OIG, the submitting Party will provide copies thereof to the other Parties for review and comment, will reasonably consider any comments received from the other Parties thereon, and will otherwise work together in good faith with the other Parties in connection with all such actions and communications with the OIG. No Party may engage in ex parte communications with the OIG regarding the OIG Consent without the prior consent of the other Parties. Each Party shall cooperate in good faith with the other Parties, consistent with this Section 5.14, to obtain the OIG Consent.

Section 5.15 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Each Seller covenants and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, neither such Seller nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly through any Person, as a principal, employee, partner, owner, member, officer, director, agent, consultant or otherwise, compete with, assist in any activity which competes with, or provide financial resources to any Person which competes with, the Restricted Business Activities anywhere in the Restricted Territory; provided, however, that a Seller or any of its Affiliates may acquire up to two percent (2%) of any company whose common stock is publicly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market so long as such Seller or Affiliate is not in control of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Group Companies conduct the Restricted Business Activities throughout the Restricted Territory and that to protect adequately the interests of the Buyers in the Group Companies, it is essential that any noncompetition covenant with respect thereto cover all Restricted Business Activities and the entire Restricted Territory for the duration of the Restricted Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or otherwise, this Section 5.15(a) (i) shall not apply to (A) Advent International Corporation or investment funds affiliated with Advent International Corporation (the “Advent Investors”) or (B) any portfolio company (other than the Sellers) in which any Advent Investor has a direct or indirect equity interest (the “Advent Portfolio Companies”) and (ii) shall terminate as to Mediq Holding B.V. and its Subsidiaries and any purchaser thereof (and the purchaser’s Affiliates) and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a Seller Change of Control.

(b) Each Seller covenants and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, neither such Seller nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly through any Person as a principal, employee, partner, owner, member, officer, director, agent, consultant or otherwise solicit, encourage

-43-

to leave employment, recruit or hire any Restricted Employee or any person who at the time of such solicitation, encouragement, recruiting or hiring had been Restricted Employee within the previous twelve (12) months. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or otherwise, this Section 5.15(b) shall not apply to the Advent Portfolio Companies; provided that none of the Sellers, their Affiliates nor any of the Advent Investors shall cause or direct the Advent Portfolio Companies to take any action that would otherwise be prohibited by this Section 5.15(b).

(c) Each Seller covenants and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, such Seller will not disparage the Buyers or the Group Companies or any of their respective members, managers/directors, officers or employees, or any of the Buyers’ or the Group Companies’ products or services in a manner that wrongfully interferes with, disrupts or attempts to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between any Buyer or any Group Company and any other Person.

(d) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements made by such Seller in this Section 5.15 were a material inducement to the Buyers to enter into this Agreement and to perform their obligations hereunder, and that the Buyers would be irreparably damaged and would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the Parties if such Seller breached the provisions of this Section 5.15 applicable to such Seller. Each Seller has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel regarding the covenants made by such Seller pursuant to this Section 5.15 and, based on such consultation, has determined and hereby acknowledges that such covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area of restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Company and the substantial investment in the Group Companies made by the Buyers hereunder. Each Seller further acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the benefits to such Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are sufficient consideration to support his, her, or its agreements set forth in this Section 5.15; and (ii) the agreements set forth in this Section 5.15 are being entered into in connection with the sale of the Group Companies to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement and not in connection with any employment arrangement between such Seller and the Buyers or the Group Companies.

(e) In the event of any breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 5.15, each Seller agrees that the harm to Buyers and the Group Companies will be irreparable and will be without adequate remedy at law and therefore that injunctive relief with respect thereto will be appropriate in addition to any other legal remedies available, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of legal damages or of posting a bond. Furthermore, upon any breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 5.15, the Restricted Period will be extended for a length of time equivalent to the period of breach (but, with respect to Section 5.15(a), in no event beyond a Seller Change of Control). In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines, in an action brought by or on behalf of the Buyers or the Group Companies that any of the foregoing provisions are unenforceable as stated, the Parties intend that such restrictions be modified to permit the maximum enforceable restriction on Sellers.

Section 5.16 280G Approval. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) secure from each Person who is a Disqualified Individual and who has the right to any payments or benefits that may, separately or in the aggregate, constitute “parachute payments” under

-44-

Section 280G of the Code (“280G Payments”) a waiver of such Person’s rights to any such payments and benefits (the “280G Waived Benefits”) so that all remaining payments and benefits applicable to such Disqualified Individual shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) and (b) submit to the relevant stockholders for approval in accordance with the stockholder approval rules of Section 280G of the Code any 280G Waived Benefits; provided, however, that any amounts or other entitlements that could be received by any Disqualified Individual in connection with agreements or arrangements entered into with the Buyers or their Affiliates, whether prior to, on or after the date hereof shall be disregarded for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.16 unless such agreements or arrangements (including all information required to determine the aggregate present value of the “parachute payments” (each, as defined in Section 280G of the Code) such person could receive thereunder) have been provided to the Company no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date hereof. All materials produced by the Company or its advisors in connection with the stockholder vote shall be provided to the Buyers reasonably in advance for the Buyers’ review and comment, which comments the Company shall consider in good faith and not unreasonably omit to reflect in the final versions of such documents.

(a) in writing, by mutual consent of the Parties;

(b) by the Buyers if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by the Sellers or the Company in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue or inaccurate after the date of this Agreement, in each case which breach, untruth or inaccuracy (i) would reasonably be expected to result in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) not being satisfied as of the Closing Date (a “Terminating Company Breach”) and (ii) shall not have been cured within twenty (20) days after written notice from the Buyers of such Terminating Company Breach is received by the Sellers (such notice to describe such Terminating Company Breach in reasonable detail), or which breach, untruth or inaccuracy, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, that the Buyers are not then in material breach of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations under

-48-

this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b);

(c) by the Sellers if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by the Buyers in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue or inaccurate after the date of this Agreement, in each case which breach, untruth or inaccuracy (i) would reasonably be expected to result in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) not being satisfied as of the Closing Date (a “Terminating Buyer Breach”) and (ii) shall not have been cured within twenty (20) days after written notice from the Sellers of such Terminating Buyer Breach is received by the Buyers (such notice to describe such Terminating Buyer Breach in reasonable detail), or which breach, untruth or inaccuracy, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, that neither the Sellers nor the Company are then in material breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations under this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b); or

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Article II or by the Sellers in Article III or in any certificate delivered by such Party pursuant hereto;

-49-

(f) the items set forth on Schedule 9.1(f).

(g) the items set forth on Schedule 9.1(g).

The Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties described in this Section 9.1 as to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “Buyer Losses”.

Section 9.2 Indemnification Obligations of the Buyers. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, the Buyers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Seller Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of or relating to the following:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyers in Article IV or in any certificate delivered by the Buyers pursuant hereto; and

(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking made by the Buyers in this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of a notice from a third party of a claim, dispute, or threatened or filed complaint or the threatened or actual commencement of any audit, investigation, lawsuit, action or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall provide prompt written notice (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receiving written notice of the Third Party Claim) to the Buyers or the Sellers, whichever is the appropriate indemnifying Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying

-50-

Party results in (x) the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or (y) material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days thereafter, to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming control of such defense it shall first verify to the Indemnified Party in writing that such Indemnifying Party shall be fully responsible for all liability relating to such claim for indemnification (subject to the limitations set forth herein) and that such Indemnifying Party shall provide full indemnification (subject to the limitations set forth herein) to the Indemnified Party with respect to such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification hereunder. In any Third Party Claim with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of any matter the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate fully in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim (i) involving potential criminal liability, (ii) in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party or that the Indemnified Party determines in good faith could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party and that does not solely involve, and does not continue to solely involve, monetary damages (other than immaterial equitable relief or other immaterial non-monetary claims that are ancillary to a claim for monetary damages), (iii) if the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that an actual conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such third Person claim and, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party, counsel for the Indemnifying Party could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Party, (iv) if the Indemnified Party (if a Buyer Indemnified Party) reasonably believes potential Losses related thereto could likely exceed the Indemnity Amount, unless the Indemnifying Party demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party that it has the capacity and financial resources to satisfy, and will satisfy, any indemnification obligation beyond the Deductible (if applicable) and Indemnity Amount that arises from such Third Party Claim or (v) involving a then current customer, supplier or employee of the Indemnified Party as an adverse party (the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). To the extent the Indemnifying Party elects not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof, to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, or abandons or fails to diligently pursue the defense of a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party defends against or otherwise deals with any such proceeding, claim or demand, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (to the extent the Third Party Claim is indemnifiable pursuant to Article IX), and control the defense of such proceeding. If (A) any of the Litigation Conditions come into existence or (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and seek indemnification hereunder for all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense.

-51-

(b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement not involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, arbitration, litigation or otherwise) and, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, (i) if the Indemnifying Party is the Sellers, the Buyers and the Sellers shall execute joint written instructions directing the Escrow Agent to pay from the Indemnity Escrow Fund or, if such funds are insufficient, the Sellers shall pay to the Buyers in immediately available funds an amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder, in each case subject to the terms of this Article IX, and (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is the Buyers, the Buyers shall pay to the Sellers in immediately available funds an amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder, in each case subject to the terms of this Article IX.

(d) The procedures governing any claims for indemnification with respect to Tax matters shall be governed by Section 5.6 and not this Section 9.3.

Section 9.4 Claims Period.

(a) The Claims Period hereunder shall begin on the Closing Date and terminate on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. No claim for indemnification can be made after the expiration of the Claims Period; provided, if prior to the close of business on the last day of the Claims Period, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder (including a Third Party Claim) and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.4(a), (i) the Claims Period for any claim under Section 9.1(a) arising out of any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.13 (Tax Returns; Taxes) or for any claim under Section 9.1(e) shall continue until the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; (ii) the Claims Period for any claim under Section 9.1(a) arising out of any inaccuracy or breach of the Fundamental Representations shall continue until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; (iii) the Claims Period for any claim under (x) Section 9.1(a) arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.15 (Licenses and Permits) or (y) Section 9.1(f) shall terminate on the earlier of (A) the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date and (B) the date on which a Seller Change of Control occurs but in any event no earlier than the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date; (iv) the Claims Period for any claim under Section 9.1(a) arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.22 (Health Care Regulatory Compliance) shall terminate on the earlier of (A) the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date

-52-

and (B) the date on which a Seller Change of Control occurs but in any event no earlier than the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date; (v) the Claims Period for any claim under Section 9.1(b) arising out of any breach of any covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings to be performed after the Closing shall terminate on the date on which such covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings have been fully performed in accordance with their respective terms; and (vi) the Claims Period for any claim of fraud with respect to the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement shall be unlimited.

Section 9.5 Liability Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, a Party’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, harmless under this Article IX shall be limited as follows:

(a) no amounts of indemnity shall be payable pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (other than Buyer Losses arising out of or relating to representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.13 (Tax Returns; Taxes) or Section 2.15 (Licenses and Permits) or the Fundamental Representations) or Section 9.1(g) to the Buyer Indemnified Parties unless (i) such claim (or series of related claims arising from the same underlying facts, event or circumstances) involves Buyer Losses (excluding Buyer Losses described in Section 9.5(f)) in excess of $50,000 and (ii) the aggregate of all Buyer Losses (excluding Buyer Losses described in Section 9.5(f)) in respect of claims for indemnity pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (other than Buyer Losses arising out of or relating to representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.13 (Tax Returns; Taxes) or Section 2.15 (Licenses and Permits) or the Fundamental Representations) or Section 9.1(g) for which the Sellers would, but for this Section 9.5, be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis $2,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover only the amount of such Buyer Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, that this clause (a) shall not apply to Buyer Losses arising out of or relating to claims of fraud with respect to the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement;

(b) any indemnification obligation of the Sellers pursuant to this Article IX (other than obligations of the type described in Section 9.4(b)), shall be satisfied solely from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, and if the Indemnity Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy any amount of any such Buyer Loss, then such amount of such Buyer Loss shall remain unsatisfied and no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any such shortfall from the Sellers;

(c) except in the case of any amounts of indemnity payable for Buyer Losses arising out of or relating to the breach or inaccuracy of the Fundamental Representations or claims of fraud with respect to the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate amount of all indemnity required to be paid by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1 exceed the Indemnity Amount;

(d) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all indemnity required to be paid by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1 exceed the Purchase Price;

(e) the amount of each claim for Buyer Losses by a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be deemed to be an amount equal to, and any payments by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1

-53-

shall be limited to, the amount of such Buyer Losses that remain after deducting therefrom any third party insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contributions or other similar payment actually recovered from any third party with respect thereto;

(f) the amount of indemnity payable pursuant to Section 9.1 with respect to any Buyer Loss shall be reduced (without duplication) to the extent such Buyer Loss is reflected on the Final Closing Statement;

(g) in any claim for indemnification under this Agreement, no Party shall be required to indemnify any Person for punitive or exemplary damages or any other Loss that is not reasonably foreseeable (other than any such punitive or exemplary damages or any other Loss awarded as a result of a Third Party Claim);

(h) any Indemnified Party that becomes aware of a Loss for which it seeks indemnification under this Article IX shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Loss including taking any actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, and an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Loss to the extent that it is attributable to the Indemnified Party’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party shall be required to (i) take any action that could reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to its reputation or its business, taken as a whole, or (ii) commence or initiate any action or otherwise make any claim against any then current customer or supplier of such Indemnified Party or of any of its Affiliates;

Each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that any Legal Dispute shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each Party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 10.7 is pending before a court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court.

Section 10.17 Representation of the Sellers and their Affiliates.
