Such Purchaser qualifies as an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, and represents that it is a sophisticated party and has sufficient experience and expertise as an investor in securities and equity interests of companies such as the ones being transferred pursuant to this Agreement, and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial or business matters, to evaluate, and is fully informed as to, the risks of the Transaction and ownership of the Shares, and such Purchaser has been adequately represented by counsel. Such Purchaser acknowledges that Henry Schein has given such Purchaser and its Representatives the opportunity to ask questions of Henry Schein, and to acquire such additional information regarding the Spinco Business as such Purchaser has requested.

Section 4.7    Brokers or Finders. Neither such Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries has employed any investment banker, broker, finder or intermediary in connection with the Transaction who might be entitled to any fee or any commission in connection with or upon consummation of the Transaction.

Section 4.8    No Other Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article IV (including the related portions of the Sequoia Disclosure Schedules and MSIM Disclosure Schedules, as applicable) and those contained in the Tax Certifications, neither such Purchaser nor any other Person has made or makes any other express or implied representation or warranty, either written or oral, on behalf of such Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries. Such Purchaser has conducted to its satisfaction its own independent investigation, verification, review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, Liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, technology and prospects of Voyager and of the Spinco Business, which investigation, verification, review and analysis was conducted by such Purchaser and its Affiliates and, to the extent such Purchaser deemed appropriate, by such Purchaser’s Representatives. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it and its Representatives have been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, premises and records of Henry Schein for such purpose. In entering into this Agreement, such Purchaser acknowledges that it has relied solely upon the aforementioned investigation, verification, review and analysis and not on any factual representations, projections, forecasts, opinions or other statements of, or materials provided by, Henry Schein, Spinco or any of their respective Representatives or any other Persons (except the specific representations and warranties of Henry Schein and Spinco set forth in Article III). Each Purchaser agrees that no Purchaser nor the respective controlling Persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of a Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

(a)    Following the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, but prior to the Closing, Henry Schein shall cause Spinco to, and shall cause its counsel to: (i) apprise the staff of the SEC of Spinco’s intention to file a registration statement covering the sale of the Shares (the “Share Registration Statement”); (ii) request that the SEC consider a request for acceleration of effectiveness of the Share Registration Statement prior to February 12, 2019; and (iii) promptly apprise the Purchasers of any responses received by Spinco from the SEC regarding the matters indicated in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (a).

Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit (x) disclosure by any Purchaser of general information regarding this Agreement and/or the Transaction for fund reporting, marketing, fund raising or similar purposes to the extent the recipients of such information are bound by customary confidentiality obligations unless the Transaction has already been publicly announced, in which case no such confidentiality obligations shall apply in respect of such publicly announced information or (y) any Purchaser or a Purchaser Representative that is an investment fund, or any investment advisor, manager or general partner of any such fund, from reporting or disclosing to its partners, investors, potential investors or similar parties, or from fulfilling its obligations to report or disclose information about its investments in the Shares to the extent that such partners, investors, potential investors or similar parties are bound by customary confidentiality obligations unless the Transaction has already been publicly announced, in which case no such confidentiality obligations shall apply in respect of such publicly announced information.

Article VII

(c)    by any of Henry Schein, Spinco, any Sequoia Purchaser or any MSIM Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 31, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), unless the failure of the Closing to have occurred by the Termination Date shall be due to the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) to perform or otherwise comply with in all material respects the covenants and agreements of such Party set forth herein;

(d)    by any Purchaser with respect to such Purchaser (so long as, at the time of termination, such Purchaser is not in breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other agreement contained herein, which breach would cause the Closing conditions of Henry Schein and Spinco not to be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at the time of termination), if there has been a breach by Henry Schein or Spinco of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that Section 6.3(a) hereof would be incapable of being satisfied, and such breach or condition has not been cured within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by Henry Schein or Spinco, as applicable, of notice of such breach;

(e)    by each Sequoia Purchaser and each MSIM Purchaser (so long as, at the time of termination, no Purchaser is in breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other agreement contained herein, which breach would cause the Closing conditions of Henry Schein and Spinco not to be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at the time of termination), if there has been a breach by Henry Schein or Spinco of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that Section 6.3(a) hereof would be incapable of being satisfied, and such breach or condition has not been cured within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by Henry Schein or Spinco, as applicable, of notice of such breach;

Article IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1    Indemnification by Henry Schein . From and after the Closing, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, Henry Schein shall indemnify each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates and Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Purchaser Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any third party claim against Henry Schein or Spinco in connection with the Separation, Distribution, Merger, Transaction or any action taken in connection with all or any of the foregoing.

Section 9.2    Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

Section 9.3    Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.1, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party and shall provide with reasonable specificity the basis on which the Indemnified Party believes it is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the notice from

 

26


the Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal, or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party (but not more than one (1) separate firm of attorneys reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party). If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.4 below, pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification subject to the terms and conditions and limitations of this Article IX for any and all Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Henry Schein, Spinco (on the request of Henry Schein and at Henry Schein’s expense), and each Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual and documented out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

Section 9.4    Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into a settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, unless a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim and such settlement (i) provides for the unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and (ii) does not require such Indemnified Party to make any payment that is not fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or to be subject to any non-monetary remedy. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.3 above, it shall not agree to any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 9.5    Treatment of Other Losses. If any Indemnified Party suffers a Loss which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification for pursuant to Section 9.1 of this Agreement that is unrelated to a Third Party Claim directly against such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.1, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Loss in reasonable detail, shall include a description of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the initial estimated amount thereof.

Section 9.6    Payments. If a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable to a Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its payment obligations with respect to any such Loss within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee designated in writing by such Purchaser Indemnitee within five (5) Business Days following the date of such final, non-appealable adjudication.

 

27


Section 9.7    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.8    No Indemnity for Tax Matters. For the avoidance of doubt, this Article IX shall not apply with respect to any Losses based upon, arising out of, or otherwise directly or indirectly relating to, (i) Taxes, (ii) any claim brought by any Taxing Authority, or (iii) a failure of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements (including the Distribution) to qualify for Tax-Free Status, and in no event shall the Purchaser Indemnitees be entitled to an indemnity therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.8 shall not be interpreted so as to eliminate the right of the Purchasers under Section 5.1 to be reimbursed for certain expenses related to Tax Contests (to the extent set forth in Section 5.1), and any such claim for reimbursement shall be brought under (and governed by) Section 5.1 and not this Article IX.

Article X

Any Party to this Agreement may notify any other Party of any changes to the address or any of the other details specified in this paragraph; provided, that such notification shall only be effective on the date specified in such notice or five (5) Business Days after the notice is given, whichever is later. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.

Section 10.2    Counterparts; Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.

Section 10.3    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than Henry Schein, Spinco, the Purchasers and their respective successors and permitted assigns) any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement and no Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.4    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Henry Schein Disclosure Schedules, the Sequoia Disclosure Schedules and the MSIM Disclosure Schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreements and the other documents referred to herein and therein shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments and writings with respect to such subject matter.

Section 10.5    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, benefits or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that upon prior written notice to Henry Schein any MSIM Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another mutual fund, pension fund, pooled investment vehicle, separate account or other investor advised by MSIM; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve any party of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 10.6    Governing Law; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a)    This Agreement and all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement (and all Schedules hereto) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all Schedules hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

(b)    AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (WITH EACH PARTY HAVING HAD OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL), EACH OF THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS

 

31


AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Section 10.7    Jurisdiction; Service of Process. ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES OR THEIR SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, IN EACH CASE, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND CONSENTS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE IN THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT (I) ANY CLAIM THAT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE ABOVE NAMED COURTS FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE FAILURE TO SERVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 10.7, (II) ANY CLAIM THAT IT OR ITS PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OF NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT OR OTHERWISE) AND (III) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM THAT (A) THE ACTION IN SUCH COURT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (B) THE VENUE OF SUCH ACTION IS IMPROPER OR (C) THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS. 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.

Section 10.8    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared judicially to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of the Parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that achieves the original intent of the Parties.

Section 10.9    Headings. The headings and captions of the Articles and Sections used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference and convenience purposes of the Parties only, and will be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

Section 10.10    Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

Section 10.11    Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the Parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered

 

32


pursuant to this Agreement or (c) subject to the proviso of the first sentence of Section 10.1, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. 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. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law.

Section 10.12    Interpretation.

(a)    When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents to this Agreement, and the Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement, are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms and any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be deemed to include any gender or all three as appropriate. Unless otherwise specified, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes, and including all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Unless expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement, all references to “the date hereof,” “the date of this Agreement,” “hereby” and “hereupon” and words of similar import shall all be references to December 25, 2018 regardless of any amendment or restatement hereof. The use of the phrase “ordinary course of business” or other derivations thereof shall mean “ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.” Unless the context otherwise requires, “or,” “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either,” and “or” shall not be exclusive. Wherever and whenever in this Agreement there is a consent right of a Party or a reference to the “satisfaction” or “sole discretion” of a Party, such Party shall be entitled to consider solely its own interests (and not the interests of any other Person) or, at its sole election, any such other interests and factors as such Party desires. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(b)    Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific fact or item in the Henry Schein Disclosure Schedules, the Sequoia Disclosure Schedules or the MSIM Disclosure Schedules is intended or will be deemed to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the fact or item so included or other facts or items, are or are not material. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any fact, item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific fact, item or matter in the Henry Schein Disclosure Schedules, the Sequoia Disclosure Schedules or the MSIM Disclosure Schedules is intended or will be deemed to imply that such fact, item or matter, or other facts, items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business. The inclusion of any fact or item in the Henry Schein Disclosure Schedules, the Sequoia Disclosure Schedules or the MSIM Disclosure Schedules shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission by any Party to

 

33


any third party of any fact, item or matter whatsoever (including any violation, noncompliance with, or Liability or obligation under, applicable Law, other requirement or breach of Contract). Certain facts, items and matters disclosed in the Henry Schein Disclosure Schedules, the Sequoia Disclosure Schedules and the MSIM Disclosure Schedules have been disclosed for informational purposes only. No general disclosure in any particular Section in the Henry Schein Disclosure Schedules, the Sequoia Disclosure Schedules or the MSIM Disclosure Schedules shall be limited by any more specific disclosure in either that particular Section or any other Section of the Henry Schein Disclosure Schedules, the Sequoia Disclosure Schedules or the MSIM Disclosure Schedules, respectively, unless a contrary intention is expressly stated.

Section 10.13    Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party who is, or is to be, thereby aggrieved will have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.

Section 10.14    Damages Waiver. No Party shall be liable to another Party or any of its Affiliates for any exemplary damages or punitive damages, or any other damages to the extent not reasonably foreseeable, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 10.15    Reference to Time. All references in this Agreement to times of the day shall be to New York City time.

Section 10.16    No Representations or Warranties.

(a)    EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, HENRY SCHEIN AND SPINCO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, OTHER THAN THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV, THAT PURCHASERS GAVE OR MIGHT HAVE GIVEN, OR WHICH MIGHT BE PROVIDED OR IMPLIED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR COMMERCIAL PRACTICE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED, AND THAT HENRY SCHEIN AND SPINCO HAVE NOT RELIED ON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY. NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL OPERATE TO LIMIT A CLAIM FOR FRAUD.

(b)    EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, EACH OF THE PURCHASERS ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, OTHER THAN THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III, THAT HENRY SCHEIN OR SPINCO GAVE OR MIGHT HAVE GIVEN, OR WHICH MIGHT BE PROVIDED OR IMPLIED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR COMMERCIAL PRACTICE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED, AND THAT NONE OF THE PURCHASERS HAS RELIED ON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY. NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL OPERATE TO LIMIT A CLAIM FOR FRAUD.
