At the Closing, the Seller or its Subsidiaries shall retain (or, if necessary, expressly assume), and shall pay, perform and discharge when due, and the Purchaser shall not assume or have any responsibility for, any of the following Liabilities (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”) notwithstanding any disclosure thereof on the Seller Disclosure Schedule:

Article III    

PURCHASE PRICE; ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE




Section 3.1    Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, as full consideration for the sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall (i) deliver to the Seller (or one or more of its designees, including one or more of its Subsidiaries) one or more wire transfers of immediately available funds to the wire transfer address or addresses (as provided by the Seller to the Purchaser on or before the Business Day prior to the Closing Date), equal to Two Hundred Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($275,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2, Section 3.5, Section 3.6 and Section 4.4, and (ii) assume the Assumed Liabilities. The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price any Tax as required under all applicable Law, except to the extent that, with respect to a particular Tax, the Purchaser has received a certificate or other documentation from the Seller that is reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser certifying that the Seller is exempt from withholding on such Tax. The Purchaser shall notify the Seller in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing of any such certificate or documentation. To the extent that the Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold any Tax, such amount shall be treated as delivered to the Seller at Closing for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Purchaser shall promptly and timely deliver all amounts so withheld to the appropriate Tax Authority in accordance with applicable Law. To the extent any portion of the Purchase Price paid to the Seller is allocable to Purchased Assets sold by any Subsidiary of the Seller in accordance with the Initial Tax Allocation and/or the Allocation, such portion of the Purchase Price so paid to the Seller shall be deemed to have been paid to the Seller on behalf of such Subsidiary, with the same effect as if such payment had been made directly to such Subsidiary.
Section 3.2    Purchase Price Adjustment
(a)    Not less three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimate (the “Estimated Modified Working Capital Amount”) of the Modified Working Capital Amount. As used herein, the term “Modified Working Capital Amount” shall mean an amount, positive or negative, equal to the sum of: (i) the book value of the Inventory (together with, but without duplication, sheets, cushions and other similar items constituting part of the Purchased Assets, to the extent normally recorded on the balance sheet of the Business as working capital items) as of the Closing Date determined in accordance with Section 3.4, plus (ii) the book value of the Prepaid Inventory as of the Closing Date determined in accordance with Section 3.4, plus (iii) the aggregate amount as of the Closing Date of the Designated Prepaid Expenses, minus (iv) the aggregate amount as of the Closing Date of all of the Liabilities assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to Article VIII in respect of the Transferred Employees (other than U.S. TSA Employees and OUS TSA Employees), minus (v) the aggregate minimum amount of the Subsequent Payments (as defined in the Ergo-Asyst Agreement) payable in accordance with Section 2.7(b) of the Ergo-Asyst Agreement (to the extent not paid as of the Closing), in each case determined in accordance with GAAP and on the same basis and applying the same accounting principles, policies and practices that were used by the Seller in preparing the relevant elements of the Financial Statements.
(b)    In the event that the Estimated Modified Working Capital Amount is an amount greater than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) (the “Target Modified Working Capital Amount”), the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be adjusted upward by the amount









the Estimated Modified Working Capital Amount exceeds the Target Modified Working Capital Amount. In the event that the Estimated Modified Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Modified Working Capital Amount, the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be adjusted downward by the amount the Target Modified Working Capital Amount exceeds the Estimated Modified Working Capital Amount.
(c)    As promptly as practical, but in no event more than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a certificate (the “Purchaser Closing Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s calculation of the Modified Working Capital Amount (as ultimately determined in accordance with the remaining provisions of this Section 3.2, the “Final Modified Working Capital Amount”), and the basis for calculating each of the components thereof. If the Purchaser shall have exercised the option set forth in Section 4.4(a), the Purchaser Closing Certificate shall include the Purchaser’s calculation of the book value of the Inventory (together with, but without duplication, sheets, cushions and other similar items constituting part of the Purchased Assets, to the extent normally recorded on the balance sheet of the Business as working capital items) and Prepaid Inventory included in the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date (the “Delayed Transfer Inventory”), and the amount of such Delayed Transfer Inventory shall be deemed a part of the Final Modified Working Capital Amount. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser (at the Purchaser’s cost and expense) with such reasonable assistance and access to facilities and Books, Records and Files as the Purchaser may request in connection with the Purchaser’s calculation of the Delayed Transfer Inventory.
(d)    Within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Purchaser Closing Certificate by the Purchaser, the Seller may object to the calculation of the Final Modified Working Capital Amount or the calculations used for the components thereof by delivering to the Purchaser such objections in writing and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such objections (the “Objection Letter”). If the Seller does not deliver the Objection Letter in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the Final Modified Working Capital Amount set forth in the Purchaser Closing Certificate shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Purchaser and the Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any differences set forth in the Objection Letter (the “Disputed Items”). If the Parties cannot resolve the Disputed Items within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the Objection Letter, then the Disputed Items shall be submitted to a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized standing and national reputation (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) within five (5) Business Days thereafter. The Parties shall submit to the Independent Accounting Firm all materials and back-up related to the Disputed Items, including an aggregate estimate of the value of the Disputed Items, and each Party shall have the opportunity to present any material related to the Disputed Items to the Independent Accounting Firm and to discuss the Disputed Items with the Independent Accounting Firm. Each Party agrees to cooperate with and assist the Independent Accounting Firm in making the final determination, including granting reasonable access to employees and records. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make its determination as reasonably promptly as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following submission of the Disputed Items by each Party. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall replace and supersede the previous Final Modified Working Capital



Amount for the purposes of the obligations set forth in Section 3.2(e). The fees of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Party whose aggregate estimate of the Disputed Items differs most greatly from the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm (or, if the Parties’ estimates differ in equal amounts, the fees shall be paid equally by the Parties).
(e)    In the event that the Final Modified Working Capital Amount is an amount greater or less than the Estimated Modified Working Capital Amount, there shall be a post-closing adjustment whereby the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay to the other the difference of such amounts (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). In the event that the Final Modified Working Capital Amount is greater than the Estimated Modified Working Capital Amount, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. In the event that the Final Modified Working Capital Amount is less than the Estimated Modified Working Capital Amount, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.2(e) shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Modified Working Capital Amount and shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the address disclosed by the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, with respect thereto.
Section 3.3    Allocation of Purchase Price.
(a)    Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser an allocation of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (and other obligations hereunder, other than those included in the Excluded Liabilities) among the Purchased Assets and the Business to the extent necessary to determine the purchase price amount to be stated in any local Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to the extent necessary to determine any liability for Conveyance Taxes (the “Initial Allocation”). The Initial Allocation shall be prepared by the Seller in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (or applicable or analogous state, local or foreign Laws). The Initial Allocation shall be deemed to be accepted by and shall be conclusive and binding on the Purchaser unless the Purchaser delivers within thirty (30) days after the Closing a written notice to the Seller stating each and every item that the Purchaser disputes (it being understood that any amounts not disputed shall be final and binding). If the Seller does not agree with a change proposed by the Purchaser, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute.
(b)    As soon as practicable, and in any event not later than the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the final determination of the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.6 and 4.4 hereof, and (ii) the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing, the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser a revised allocation of the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.6 and 4.4 hereof, and the Assumed Liabilities (and other obligations hereunder, other than those included in the Excluded Liabilities) among the Purchased Assets and the Business (the “Allocation”). The Allocation shall be prepared by the Seller in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (or applicable or analogous state, local or foreign Laws). The Allocation shall be deemed to be accepted by and shall be conclusive and binding on the Purchaser unless the Purchaser delivers within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Allocation is delivered to the Purchaser a written notice to the Seller stating each and



every item that the Purchaser disputes (it being understood that any amounts not disputed shall be final and binding). If the Seller does not agree with a change proposed by the Purchaser, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Seller and the Purchaser cannot agree on the resolution of the dispute, then the Allocation shall be made in accordance with an allocation provided by the Independent Accounting Firm, the expense of which shall be shared equally by the Purchaser and the Seller. The Parties shall submit to the Independent Accounting Firm all materials and back-up related to the Allocation, and each Party shall have the opportunity to discuss the Allocation with the Independent Accounting Firm. Each Party agrees to cooperate with and assist the Independent Accounting Firm in making the final determination. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make its determination as reasonably promptly as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties.
(c)    Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall (i) be bound by the Initial Allocation for purposes of determining Taxes, and (ii) prepare and file, and cause its Subsidiaries to prepare and file, its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Initial Allocation; provided, however, that as soon the Allocation is final and binding as provided in (b) above, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall (i) be bound by the Allocation for purposes of determining Taxes, and (ii) prepare and file, and cause its Subsidiaries to prepare and file, its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation. The Seller and the Purchaser shall not take any position inconsistent with the Initial Allocation until the Allocation is final and binding in any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation, or otherwise unless required by a final determination by an applicable Tax Authority or to the extent otherwise required by Law. Once the Allocation is final and binding, the Seller and the Purchaser shall not take any position inconsistent with the Allocation in any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation, or otherwise unless required by a final determination by an applicable Tax Authority or to the extent otherwise required by Law.
Section 3.4    Inventory. Prior to the Closing (but not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), the Seller shall cause cycle count procedures to be performed for a minimum of 25% of the aggregate Inventory and Prepaid Inventory balance by employees or representatives of the Seller or its Subsidiaries. Such cycle count procedures shall be performed in a manner consistent as to methodology and accuracy rate with the Seller’s historical cycle count procedures with respect to Inventory at the Seller’s facilities in general (including, for avoidance of doubt, the Seller’s facilities located at 4950 Stout Drive San Antonio, Texas), a summary of which is set forth on Schedule 3.4 hereto.  The Seller shall permit representatives or employees of the Purchaser to observe such inventory processes at the Seller’s main manufacturing plant and such other locations as the Parties mutually agree.  The cost of conducting such activities shall be borne by the Seller.  All Inventory and Prepaid Inventory shall continue to be valued in accordance with GAAP and on the same basis and applying the same accounting principles, policies and practices that were used by the Seller in preparing the relevant elements of the preparation of the Financial Statements.
Section 3.5    Proration of Certain Items.
(a)    All receipts and disbursements related to the Business Licensed Intellectual Property, the Owned Business Real Property, Leased Business Real Property, leases of Tangible Personal Property, maintenance and utility charges, assessments and other similar charges against real



estate except for Periodic Taxes (the “Prorated Expenses”), shall be prorated to the Closing Date on a per diem basis. Not less than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser for its review and comment a prorations schedule setting forth the Seller’s good faith estimate of the Prorated Expenses calculated through the Closing Date (the “Prorations Schedule”). At the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in respect of the Prorated Expenses as reflected in the Prorations Schedule mutually agreed by the Seller and the Purchaser. All income and expense reporting in respect of the Prorated Expenses shall be determined in accordance with GAAP.
(b)    If, following the Closing, either Party discovers an error or omission in the Prorations Schedule, or if there is any need to adjust or recalculate the Prorated Expenses based on new information, such Party shall notify the other Party within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter (but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing), providing evidence of payment and a statement setting forth the other Party’s share thereof, if applicable. If necessary, during the thirty (30) days thereafter, the Parties shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to promptly agree on any adjustment to the Purchase Price required. Promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days following the determination of any such adjustment to the Purchase Price, the Party obligated to make a payment to adjust the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall make such payment to the other Party.
Section 3.6    TSA Preparedness Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a)    If (i) TSA Preparedness does not occur on or prior to October 31, 2012, (ii) the Measurement Revenue is less than Two Hundred Ten Million Dollars ($210,000,000), (iii) the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have complied in all material respects with their obligations under Section 7.7(b) and (c), and (iv) all of the other conditions set forth in Section 10.1 shall have been satisfied or waived at or before the time at which TSA Preparedness occurs (other than conditions that can only be satisfied at the Closing) and the Purchaser would be prepared to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement save for the failure of the condition set forth in Section 10.2(f) (and the Purchaser shall have certified as such to the Seller in writing, assuming, for the purposes hereof and thereof, that the conditions set forth in Section 10.2(a), (d) and (e) would be satisfied as of the Closing Date), then the Parties agree that the Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser at the Closing shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) 1.19 multiplied by (b) the positive amount, if any, of the difference of (A) Two Hundred Thirty Million Dollars ($230,000,000) minus (B) the Measurement Revenue. The Measurement Revenue shall be determined in accordance with GAAP except as noted in the final sentence of this Section 3.6(a) and on the same basis and applying the same accounting principles, policies and practices that were used by the Seller in preparing the relevant elements of the preparation of the unaudited contribution margin profit and loss statement of the Business for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 included in the Financial Statements, including the use of budgeted foreign currency exchange rates to translate such Financial Statements into U.S. Dollars.
(b)    In addition to the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under Sections 7.7(b) and (c), at any time not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the earliest date on which the Seller reasonably anticipates the condition set forth at Section 10.2(f) could be deemed satisfied,



the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser written notice (the “TSA Process Notice”) signed by the Seller that summarizes in reasonable detail (i) the Seller’s good faith summary of the status of the Seller’s progress in respect of its obligations under Sections 7.7(b) and (c) and the expected date(s) on which the Seller would reasonably expect TSA Preparedness to be achieved and a TSA Preparedness Notice contemplated by Section 3.6(c) to be provided to the Purchaser, (ii) the Seller’s good faith estimate as to its schedule for providing the Purchaser with the TSA Preparedness Notice contemplated by Section 3.6(c) and the schedule and process for the Purchaser’s right to review and confirm TSA Preparedness as contemplated by Section 3.6(c), and (iii) the Seller’s good faith summary, in such detail and accompanied by such documentation as the Seller may reasonably deem appropriate, of the material assets and resources that the Seller would propose to utilize in order to perform the transition services described in the Transition Services Agreement, including specifically, delivery of the following monthly sales reports for the Business under the Transition Services Agreement: (A) reports of sales and orders for the Business two (2) Business Days after each month end, and (B) profit and loss statements and balance sheet reports for the Business four (4) Business Days after each month end. Within five (5) Business Days after the date of the TSA Process Notice, the Purchaser shall provide written notice (the “TSA Process Dispute Notice”) to the Seller if the Purchaser has determined in good faith that the material assets and resources described by the Seller in the TSA Process Notice to be utilized by the Seller in respect of the matters described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence are inadequate to provide for TSA Preparedness to be achieved in respect of such matters (which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances on which the Purchaser bases such determination (the “TSA Process Deficiencies”)). If the Purchaser provides the Seller with the TSA Process Dispute Notice, then the Parties shall confer to address the matters raised therein, other than any of same disputed by the Seller in good faith, and the Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cure, as promptly as practicable, any undisputed TSA Process Deficiencies.
(c)    In addition to the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under Sections 7.7(b) and (c), at any time following five (5) Business Days after the Seller’s delivery of the TSA Process Notice, and after the Seller shall have cured the undisputed TSA Process Deficiencies, if applicable, and upon the Seller’s good faith determination that TSA Preparedness has been achieved, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a written notice (the “TSA Preparedness Notice”) signed by the Seller that includes a certification that the Seller has determined reasonably and in good faith that TSA Preparedness has been achieved as of such date, which TSA Preparedness Notice shall be accompanied by such documentation as the Seller may reasonably deem appropriate reflecting the results of the Seller’s internal testing processes of TSA Preparedness (such documentation to include end-user test protocols and results). During the five (5) Business Day period following delivery of the TSA Preparedness Notice, the Purchaser shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and confirm whether TSA Preparedness has been achieved. As promptly as practicable, and in any event within six (6) Business Days after the date of the TSA Preparedness Notice, the Purchaser shall provide written notice (the “TSA Preparedness Dispute Notice”) to the Seller if the Purchaser has determined in good faith that TSA Preparedness has not been achieved (which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances on which the Purchaser bases such determination (the “TSA Preparedness Deficiencies”)).



(d)    Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 3.6(d), if the Purchaser does not provide the Seller with a TSA Preparedness Dispute Notice, TSA Preparedness shall be deemed to have occurred (and the conditions set forth in Sections 10.1(f) and 10.2(f) shall be deemed to have been satisfied) as of the date of the TSA Preparedness Notice, and, in the event the TSA Preparedness Notice shall have been given on or prior to October 31, 2012, there shall be no reduction to the Purchase Price for purposes of the Closing pursuant to this Section 3.6. If the Purchaser does provide the Seller with the TSA Preparedness Dispute Notice, then the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cure, as promptly as practicable, any such TSA Preparedness Deficiencies, other than any of same disputed by the Seller in good faith. At any time after the Seller shall have cured the undisputed TSA Preparedness Deficiencies, if applicable, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a second TSA Preparedness Notice (the “Revised TSA Preparedness Notice”) signed by the Seller that includes a certification that the Seller has determined reasonably and in good faith that all undisputed TSA Preparedness Deficiencies have been cured, describing any asserted TSA Preparedness Deficiencies that the Seller disputes in good faith, and certifying that the Seller has determined reasonably and in good faith that TSA Preparedness has been achieved as of such date. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 3.6(d), if the Purchaser has provided a TSA Preparedness Dispute Notice, TSA Preparedness shall be deemed to have occurred (and the conditions set forth in Sections 10.1(f) and 10.2(f) shall be deemed to have been satisfied) as of the date on which the Seller delivers the Revised TSA Preparedness Notice and, in the event the Revised TSA Preparedness Notice shall have been given (i) on or prior to October 31, 2012, there shall be no reduction to the Purchase Price for purposes of the Closing pursuant to this Section 3.6, or (ii) after October 31, 2012, then, subject to the satisfaction of the remaining conditions set forth in Section 3.6(a) to the application of the Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.6, there shall be an adjustment to the Purchase Price for purposes of the Closing pursuant to this Section 3.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the consummation of the Closing (including any deemed achievement of TSA Preparedness for purposes thereof) nor any failure by the Purchaser to deliver a TSA Process Dispute Notice or TSA Preparedness Dispute Notice shall be deemed to preclude, prevent, waive, settle or compromise any right, claim or dispute that the Purchaser may have, whether discovered or arising prior to, on or after the Closing, in respect of (i) any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article XII in respect of any breach or failure by the Seller to comply with any covenant or agreement hereunder (including under Sections 7.7(b) or (c)), (ii) any claim under the Transition Services Agreement for any breach thereof or failure to perform thereunder, or (iii) any claim in respect of any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.6 (provided that the Purchaser must assert any claim for adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.6 on or before the later of (i) the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date and (ii) February 28, 2013) based on whether the Seller shall have, as a particular date, (i) (A) completed in all material respects, at its sole cost and expense, the set-up of the management information system clone (as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement) in accordance with the specifications set forth on Schedule 10.1(f), and (B) completed in all material respects such other set-up activities and arrangements, at its sole cost and expense, such as to enable the Seller to provide the Purchaser with the services contemplated to be performed by the Seller pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, and (ii) delivered to the Purchaser a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date, signed



on behalf of the Seller by an officer of the Seller to the effect that the foregoing criteria have been satisfied by the Seller.
(e)    If each of the conditions described in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) of Section 3.6(a) has been satisfied such that there may be an adjustment to the Purchase Price at the Closing pursuant to this Section 3.6, then: (i) not less three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate (the “Purchaser Measurement Revenue Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimate (the “Estimated Measurement Revenue Amount”) of the Measurement Revenue, and the resulting adjustment to the Purchase Price, if any, pursuant to this Section 3.6, and (ii) if the Estimated Measurement Revenue Amount is less than Two Hundred Ten Million Dollars ($210,000,000), the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be adjusted downward by the amount of the Purchase Price adjustment determined in accordance with Section 3.1(a), assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Measurement Revenue is in an amount equal to the Estimated Measurement Revenue Amount.
(f)    If there was an adjustment to the Purchase Price at the Closing in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 3.6, then as promptly as practical, but in no event more than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the Purchaser’s calculation of the Measurement Revenue (as ultimately determined in accordance with the remaining provisions of this Section 3.6, the “Final Measurement Revenue Amount”) and the resulting adjustment to the Purchase Price, if any, pursuant to this Section 3.6.
(g)    Within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Purchaser Measurement Revenue Certificate by the Purchaser, the Seller may object to the calculation of the Final Measurement Revenue Amount or the calculations used for the components thereof by delivering to the Purchaser such objections in writing and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such objections (the “Measurement Revenue Objection Letter”). The Purchaser and the Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any differences set forth in the Measurement Revenue Objection Letter (the “Measurement Revenue Disputed Items”). If the Parties cannot resolve the Measurement Revenue Disputed Items within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the Measurement Revenue Objection Letter, then the Measurement Revenue Disputed Items shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm within five (5) Business Days thereafter. The Parties shall submit to the Independent Accounting Firm all materials and back-up related to the Measurement Revenue Disputed Items, including an aggregate estimate of the value of the Measurement Revenue Disputed Items, and each Party shall have the opportunity to present any material related to the Measurement Revenue Disputed Items to the Independent Accounting Firm and to discuss the Measurement Revenue Disputed Items with the Independent Accounting Firm. Each Party agrees to cooperate with and assist the Independent Accounting Firm in making the final determination, including granting reasonable access to employees and records. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make its determination as reasonably promptly as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following submission of the Measurement Revenue Disputed Items by each Party. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall replace and supersede the previous Final Measurement Revenue Amount for the purposes of the obligations set forth in this Section 3.6. The fees of



the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Party whose aggregate estimate of the Measurement Revenue Disputed Items differs most greatly from the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm (or, if the Parties’ estimates differ in equal amounts, the fees shall be paid equally by the Parties).
(h)    If there is to be a Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.6 and the amount of such Purchase Price adjustment, based on the Final Measurement Revenue Amount, differs from the amount of such adjustment made to the Purchase Price paid at the Closing, based on the Estimated Measurement Revenue Amount, there shall be a post-Closing adjustment whereby the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay to the other the difference of such adjustment amounts (the “Post-Closing Measurement Revenue Adjustment”). In the event that the Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.6, based on the Final Measurement Revenue Amount, is greater than the amount of such adjustment, if any, made to the Purchase Price paid at the Closing, based on the Estimated Measurement Revenue Amount, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Post-Closing Measurement Revenue Adjustment. In the event that the Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.6, based on the Final Measurement Revenue Amount, is less than the amount of such adjustment made to the Purchase Price paid at the Closing, based on the Estimated Measurement Revenue Amount, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Post-Closing Measurement Revenue Adjustment. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.6(h) shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Measurement Revenue Amount and shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the address disclosed by the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, with respect thereto.

Section 4.4    German Closing.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at the Purchaser’s option, and in its sole discretion, the Parties shall exclude from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated at the Closing any portion of the Purchased Assets that is not assignable or transferable without a Competition Consent under the Competition Laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (the “Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets”), together with any Dedicated Employees or Allocated Employees located in the Federal Republic of Germany (the “Delayed Transfer Employees”) to the extent that such Competition Consent shall not have been given prior to the Closing; provided, however, that (i) if the Purchaser elects to exercise such option to so exclude the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees from the transactions to be consummated at the Closing, the Purchaser shall provide written notice of such election to the Seller at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing, and (ii) the exclusion of the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and the Delayed Transfer Employees from the transactions consummated at the Closing shall be subject to the receipt of such Competition Consents, if any, as may be required under the Laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as may be required to consummate the Closing on the Purchased Assets other than the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets, evidence of which Consents, if any, the Purchaser shall provide to the Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets are to be excluded from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated at the Closing, the Parties shall not enter into the German Real Property Transfer Agreement until the Delayed Transfer Date, and no portion of the Purchase Price shall be paid into the notarial escrow account contemplated thereby until the Delayed Transfer Date. In the event that the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees are not assigned or transferred at the Closing as contemplated by the foregoing sentence, the Parties agree that the Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser at the Closing (after giving effect to any adjustments at the Closing pursuant to Section 3.2 and Section 3.6) shall be reduced by fourteen percent (14%) (the “Delayed Transfer Purchase Price”) and the Delayed Transfer Purchase Price shall be deposited at Closing by the Purchaser in escrow with an institution acting as escrow agent as shall be acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller (the “Escrow Agent”) and which amount, together with all interest and earnings thereon (collectively, the “Escrow Fund”) shall be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and a reasonable and customary written escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), the form of which the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith between the date hereof and the Closing. Further, at the Closing, the Parties shall enter such distribution agreement(s), license agreement(s) and other agreements and instruments as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for the Seller and its Subsidiaries to operate the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and the related portion of the Business after the Closing and prior to the Delayed Transfer or any Delayed Transfer Termination Notice. For purposes of determining the amount, if any, of any adjustments to the Purchase Price at the Closing for purposes of calculating the Delayed Transfer Purchase Price and the Purchase Price payable at the Closing, the provisions of Sections 3.2 and 3.6 shall apply as if the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees were not being excluded from the Closing pursuant to this Section 4.4.
(b)    Subject to and as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than thirty (30) Business Days) following the date on which any Competition Consent under the Competition









Laws of the Federal Republic of Germany is obtained, the Purchaser and the Seller shall consummate the assignment and transfer of the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees in accordance with applicable Law (each such transfer and assignment, a “Delayed Transfer,” and the date of such Delayed Transfer, the “Delayed Transfer Date”). The Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund to the Seller on the earlier to occur of (i) the Delayed Transfer Date or (ii) the Outside Date (regardless of whether the Delayed Transfer shall have occurred). For all purposes of this Agreement, with respect to the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets (and the portion of the Business, the Assumed Liabilities and Excluded Liabilities related to the Delayed Transfer Assets), the “Closing” shall be deemed occur upon the consummation of the Delayed Transfer and the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to occur on the Delayed Transfer Date.
(c)    From the Closing Date until the Delayed Transfer Date, if applicable, (i) the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to structure and support the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees in such a manner as to satisfy the requirements of any Governmental Authority of the Federal Republic of Germany or under the Competition Laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, and (ii) the Seller shall operate the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets (including employment of the Delayed Transfer Employees) and the portion of the Business relating thereto for its own account and continue to observe its obligations under this Agreement applicable to the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Business Employees prior to the Closing in respect of Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and the Delayed Transfer Employees (for this purpose, as if the Closing had not occurred) until the Delayed Transfer Date. From and after the consummation of a Delayed Transfer, the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets shall be treated as Purchased Assets hereunder, and the Delayed Transfer Employees shall be treated as Transferred Employees for all purposes then applicable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Article V and Article VII).
(d)    If the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees shall have been excluded from the Closing in accordance with this Section 4.4, then: (i) the provisions of Sections 7.12 and 7.13 shall not apply with respect to the activities of the Seller and its Subsidiaries in operating the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees prior to the Delayed Transfer Date, (ii) except as provided herein, the provisions of Section 3.2 and Section 3.6 shall not apply with respect to the consummation of the Delayed Transfer, and (iii) the consummation of the Delayed Transfer shall not be subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2; provided, that, each Party’s obligation to consummate the Delayed Transfer shall be conditioned on (A) the execution and delivery by the other Party of the deliveries contemplated, respectively, by Sections 4.2 and 4.3, in each case as the same may be modified to convey the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, for the Purchaser to assume the Assumed Liabilities relating to the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and the Delayed Transfer Employees, and to otherwise consummate the Delayed Transfer, all of which the Parties hereby covenant and agree to execute and deliver in the periods contemplated by Section 4.4(b)), (B) any waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Competition Laws of the Federal Republic of Germany applicable to the purchase of the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and transfer of the Delayed Transfer Employees having expired or shall have been terminated, and (C) no Governmental Authority of the Federal Republic of Germany having



enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law or Governmental Order (whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent) that has the effect of making the Delayed Transfer illegal or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the Delayed Transfer. The Parties acknowledge that, if the Closing shall have occurred and the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees shall have been excluded from the Closing in accordance with this Section 4.4, the occurrence of the Outside Date shall have no effect on the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Section 4.4 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall remain obligated to transfer the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and Delayed Transfer Employees to the Purchaser as contemplated by this Section 4.4 without regard to the occurrence of the Outside Date), subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive the Closing. However, if the Delayed Transfer shall not have occurred on or prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Outside Date, then at any time thereafter the Seller may notify the Purchaser in writing (a “Delayed Transfer Termination Notice”) that the provisions of this Section 4.4 have terminated, whereupon neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations under this Section 4.4 or otherwise under this Agreement in respect of the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets, except that (i) the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets shall constitute Excluded Assets and all Liabilities relating thereto shall constitute Excluded Liabilities and (ii) the provisions of Sections 7.12 and 7.13 shall not apply with respect to the activities of the Seller and its Subsidiaries in operating the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and the related portion of the Business. From and after any Delayed Transfer Termination Notice, the Seller and its Subsidiaries shall be free to deal with the Excluded Assets in such manner as it chooses, free and clear of any Encumbrance hereunder. Between the Closing and the delivery of any Delayed Transfer Termination Notice, the Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser, at the Purchaser’s expense, in any efforts by the Purchaser to find an alternate party to acquire all (but not less than all) of the Delayed Transfer Purchased Assets and assume the related Assumed Liabilities, including the execution and delivery of such instruments of transfer as are reasonably required to effect any such alternate transaction, provided that in no event shall the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries be required to execute any document or instrument or enter into any transaction on terms less favorable to the Seller and its Subsidiaries than those that would apply under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements if the Delayed Transfer were consummated. The proceeds of any such alternate transaction effected prior to any Delayed Transfer Termination Notice shall be for the account of the Purchaser.
(e)    As promptly as practical, but in no event more than sixty (60) days following the Delayed Transfer Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a certificate (the “Purchaser Delayed Transfer Inventory Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s calculation of the Delayed Transfer Inventory, measured as of the time of the Delayed Transfer rather than the Closing Date (as ultimately determined in accordance with the remaining provisions of this Section 4.4, the “Final Delayed Transfer Inventory Amount”), and the basis for calculating the same. Within fifteen (15) days following delivery of the Purchaser Delayed Transfer Inventory Certificate by the Purchaser, the Seller may object to the calculation of the Final Delayed Transfer Inventory Amount or the calculations used for the same in a manner consistent with the process provided in Section 3.2 to resolve objections to Final Modified Working Capital Amount.



(f)    In the event that the Final Delayed Transfer Inventory Amount is an amount greater or less than the Delayed Transfer Inventory as reflected in the Final Modified Working Capital Amount, there shall be an adjustment following the Deferred Transfer Date whereby the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay to the other the difference of such amounts (the “Post-Delayed Transfer Adjustment”). In the event that the Final Delayed Transfer Inventory Amount is greater than the Delayed Transfer Inventory as reflected in the Final Modified Working Capital Amount, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Post-Delayed Transfer Adjustment. In the event that the Final Delayed Transfer Inventory Amount is less than the Delayed Transfer Inventory as reflected in the Final Modified Working Capital Amount, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Post-Delayed Transfer Adjustment. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 4.4(f) shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Delayed Transfer Inventory Amount and shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the address disclosed by the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, with respect thereto.

The Seller has delivered to the Purchaser correct and complete copies of all leases relating to Leased Business Real Property. Each parcel included in the Owned Business Real Property is assessed for real property tax purposes as a wholly independent tax lot, separate from adjoining land or improvements not constituting a part of that parcel. The Seller and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, have complied in all material respects with the terms of all leases relating to Leased Business Real Property, and all leases relating to Leased Business Real Property are legal, valid, binding, enforceable, and in full force and effect. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of any event or occurrence that has resulted or could result (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) in a material default with respect to any lease regarding the Leased Business Real Property to which it is a party. Except as set forth on Section 5.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, each lease with respect to Leased Business Real Property grants the tenant under the lease the exclusive right to use and occupy the demised premises thereunder.

There is no Action pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened, relating to the ownership, lease, use, occupancy or operation by any person of any Owned Business Real Property or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, the Leased Business Real Property. The use and operation of the Real Property in the conduct of the Business as currently conducted does not violate in any material respect any instrument of record or agreement affecting the Owned Business Real Property or the Leased Business Real Property. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation in any material respect of any covenant, condition, restriction, easement or order of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over such property or any other person entitled to enforce the same affecting the Owned Business Real Property or the Leased Business Real Property or the use or occupancy thereof.

At the Closing, the Seller shall grant to the Purchaser and its Affiliates, for a period from the Closing until the exhaustion of any Business Products (as Inventory or Fixed Assets) in existence as of the Closing or any packaging, labels, displays, promotional and other similar materials relating to the Business Products in existence at the Closing bearing the Seller Brands, a non-exclusive, sub-licensable, non-assignable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid up, and royalty-free right and license to use the Seller Brands on such existing Business Products (as Inventory or Fixed Assets) and such existing packages, labels, displays, promotional and other similar materials relating to the Business Products as used in, held for use in or related to the Business at the Closing, and otherwise as the Seller Brands were used by the Seller or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to Closing in connection with the Business, for the sole purpose of operating the Business by the Purchaser and its Affiliates; provided, that, except as required by Law (including displaying the manufacturer of a product), the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and to cause its Affiliates to, in a reasonably expeditious manner, remove or cover all Seller Brands on any Business Products held for rent or any packaging, labels, displays, promotional and other similar materials relating to such Business Products held for rent from time to time in connection with the Purchaser’s ordinary course service, maintenance and replacement activities, which removal or covering, with respect to framed Business Products held for rent, shall be completed within two (2) years after the Closing to the extent the same can be accomplished through a process of covering the Seller Brands or other method that is not unduly burdensome, and, with respect to other durable Business Products held for rent, shall be completed within their normal replacement cycle; provided, further, that the Purchaser shall not be required to take any action to remove or cover any Seller Brands on any Business Product in such a manner as would materially deface any Business Products or render the same commercially unmarketable. The foregoing license grants shall be made by the Seller and, to the extent applicable, its Subsidiaries, and the particular terms of such license grants shall be set forth in a trademark license agreement with the Purchaser and, to the extent applicable, its Affiliates, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Seller Trademark License Agreement”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than three-hundred sixty-five (365) days after the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) cease to use and remove or cover all Seller Brands and as a trade name, corporate name or domain name from all materials except, with respect to the Seller Brands, in accordance with the Seller Trademark



License Agreement and (ii) otherwise cease use of any Seller Brand for which the Purchaser has not been granted a license pursuant to the Seller Trademark License Agreement, including removing such Seller Brands from signs, billboards, telephone listings, stationery, office forms or other similar materials of the Business. Except as expressly provided in this Section 7.6 or in the Seller Trademark License Agreement, the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have no right to use in any way the Seller Brands.
(b)    In the event that there is any Intellectual Property of the Seller or its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof or as of the Closing (other than the Seller Brands, which are covered by the Seller Trademark License Agreement upon the terms set forth therein) that is not contained in the Business Owned Intellectual Property and such Intellectual Property would be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, lease, offer for lease, rent, offer for rent, importation, distribution, reproduction, creation of derivative works based on, performance or display of Business Products (as the same exist as of the Closing) or packaging, labels, displays, promotional or other materials relating to the Business or the Business Products by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (“Additional Intellectual Property”), then, following the Closing, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, transferable, royalty free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license and right including the right to grant sublicenses to such Additional Intellectual Property. Such license and rights shall extend to all distributors and resellers of the Purchaser as well as all customers of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any customers of any distributor or reseller of the foregoing.
Section 7.7    Transition Services; Space License Agreements.
(a)    At the Closing, the Seller shall enter into a transition services agreement with the Purchaser and, to the extent applicable, its Affiliates, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and on such other terms and provisions as the Parties shall mutually agree in writing (the “Transition Services Agreement”).
(b)    The Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly perform and complete, as promptly as practicable but in any event prior to the Closing Date, (i) all of the set-up and transition services described in the Transition Services Agreement that are required to be performed by it prior to the Closing, including readiness of the “clone” management information system contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement and to demonstrate satisfaction of the specifications set forth on Schedule 10.1(f) for purposes of the Closing, and (ii) such other undertakings as may be required by it in order to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 10.1(f) and 10.2(f). Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Seller and its Subsidiaries in their efforts to perform and complete such set-up and transition services, including promptly providing such information and data, and attending and participating in such meetings, testing and other activities, as the Seller or its Subsidiaries may reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser agrees that (i) the Purchaser shall reasonably collaborate with and use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide information and feedback to the Seller, and (ii) on up to two (2) occasions prior to the Closing, it shall cause its appropriate representatives to be present onsite at the Seller’s facility in San Antonio, Texas, and potentially on one (1) additional occasion at a Seller facility in Europe (such presence, on any occasion, not to exceed two (2) Business Days),



upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice from the Seller, for any demonstration of performance or similar activities to be conducted by the Seller in connection with such set-up and transition services, including for the purpose of demonstrating or testing TSA Preparedness. The Purchaser shall in good faith give prompt notice to the Seller during or promptly after any such demonstration(s) or similar activities, or at any other time between the date hereof and the Closing, of any material deficiencies, facts or circumstances identified by the Purchaser that would cause TSA Preparedness not to occur. The Seller shall afford the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to review and confirm that such management information system clone has been completed in all material respects in accordance with the specifications set forth on Schedule 10.1(f). The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for all purposes under this Agreement (including Sections 3.6, 10.1(f) and 10.2(f)), the management information system clone will be demonstrated for TSA preparedness in a test environment with a copy of production data. The cut-over to the management information system clone will take place over the weekend immediately following the Closing, and the management information system clone will go live as of the open of business on the Monday following the Closing. The Seller will cause any transactions occurring during the time period between the Closing and the live operation of the management information system clone to be manually entered into such management information system clone.
(c)    At least sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Seller shall perform and complete the extraction and delivery to the Purchaser of a representative sample of the respective types of “master” electronic data to be provided to the Purchaser pursuant to the following sentence.  At least thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Seller shall perform and complete the extraction and delivery to the Purchaser of the “master” electronic data (excluding historical data) held or maintained by the Seller and its Subsidiaries relating to customer data, order data and product information for any jurisdiction not supported under the “clone” management information system contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement, including data reasonably required for the Purchaser to prepare for customer fulfillment, service, billing and product regulatory compliance with respect to the Business in such jurisdiction as of immediately following the Closing.  Not less than three (3) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with any applicable updates to the “master” electronic data to be provided to the Purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence. At least sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date (or the date of any anticipated transfer of Business Employees to the Purchaser occurring after the Closing pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement), the Seller shall perform and complete the extraction and delivery to the Purchaser of the relevant electronic data (excluding historical data) held or maintained by the Seller and its Subsidiaries relating to the Business Employees with respect to the Business Employees contemplated to be Transferred Employees at the Closing (or such later date) as reasonably required by the Purchaser to prepare for the functioning of the Purchaser’s payroll and employee benefits systems as of immediately following the Closing (or such later date). The Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with the Seller and its Subsidiaries in their efforts to perform and complete the extraction and delivery of such electronic data. The Parties acknowledge that all such electronic data shall be delivered in the same format and quality as that in which it is currently maintained by the Seller, and the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a dictionary explaining the various fields in the relevant data.



(d)    Between the date hereof and the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith one or more reasonable and customary written space license agreements or similar instruments in favor of the Seller and its Subsidiaries in respect of portions of the Owned Business Real Property and the Leased Business Real Property historically dedicated to the operation of Seller Other Businesses, and in favor of the Purchaser and its Affiliates in respect of portions of the Excluded Leased Business Real Property historically dedicated to the operation of the Business, each in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Parties (the “Space License Agreements”). Upon the written request of the Purchaser during the ninety (90) day period from and after the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith and enter into Space License Agreements in respect of such additional portions of the Excluded Leased Business Real Property historically dedicated to the operation of the Business as may be reasonably requested or required by the Purchaser to avoid material disruption to the conduct of the Business in any of the localities in which the Seller and its Subsidiaries currently conduct the Business, but in which no Owned Business Real Property or Leased Business Real Property is located.
Section 7.8    Further Action.
(a)    Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and the Purchased Assets (including Contracts included in the Purchased Assets, Transferred Registrations, and Transferred Permits, as well as any such items that would be Purchased Assets but for the lack of a Consent), and to prepare, execute and deliver such documents and other papers and any other agreements, as may be necessary to (i) carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) consummate and make effective the sale, transfer and conveyance of the Purchased Assets, the assignment and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and the exclusion of the Excluded Liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) to consummate and make effective the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such Party’s obligations hereunder and thereunder and including to obtain all required Consents from third parties (including in respect of any Contracts). The Parties acknowledge that, except as may be otherwise provided with respect to the delivery of electronic Books, Records and Files as contemplated by Section 7.7 and/or the Transition Services Agreement, physical delivery of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, where applicable, shall be effectuated as of the Closing through delivery of possession thereof to the Purchaser or its Affiliates at the Owned Business Real Property or Leased Business Real Property where such Purchased Assets are then located (or from which such Purchased Assets are primarily deployed); provided, that with respect to (i) any Purchased Assets that are as of the Closing deployed in rental, leasing or similar arrangements, or held by any distributor or other third party for the benefit of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, such Purchased Assets shall remain subject to such arrangement for the benefit of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, and (ii) any other tangible Purchased Assets located at any facility of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Owned Business Real Property or Leased Business Real Property, the Seller shall deliver such Purchased Assets (i) to a location designated by the Purchaser within the same country as they are located as of the Closing (but in no event, within the United States, to a location greater than five hundred (500) miles from such location), or (ii) if the Purchaser does not have a location in such country, then to a location designated



by the Purchaser in any other country to a location but in no event to a location greater than five hundred (500) miles from such location, in each case, the cost of such delivery to be borne by the Seller.
(b)    The Seller and the Purchaser shall each be responsible for the payment of one-half of any amounts necessary to obtain any required Consents from third parties (including in respect of any Contracts); provided, that the Parties’ respective obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts or reasonable best efforts to obtain such Consents shall include the obligation to make payments to third parties, not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in the aggregate (for each of the Seller and the Purchaser) for all such payments, as may be required to effectuate assignment of any Contracts (including Contracts included in the Purchased Assets, as well as any Contracts that would be Purchased Assets but for the lack of a Consent). Additionally, the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain all required Consents from third parties in respect of the Contracts set forth on Schedule 7.8; provided, that the Purchaser shall not be responsible for one-half of any amounts necessary to obtain any such Consents and the Seller’s obligations to use such reasonable best efforts to obtain any such Consents as to such Contracts shall include the obligation to make payments to third parties (in addition to any payments made in accordance with the preceding sentence), not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in the aggregate for all such payments, as may be required to effectuate assignment of any such Contracts set forth on Schedule 7.8.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign, assume, license, sublicense or otherwise provide rights with respect to any Purchased Asset (including any rights, assets or properties that would be Purchased Assets assuming the receipt of all applicable Consents) or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment, license or other provision, without the Consent of, or other action by, any third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of a Contract with such third party or would in any way adversely affect the rights of the Purchaser or its Affiliates or the Seller or its Subsidiaries relating to such Purchased Assets. To the extent that any Purchased Asset (including any rights, assets or properties that would be Purchased Assets assuming the receipt of all applicable Consents) is not transferred, asigned, distributed, licensed, delivered to or assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence, or any of the transfers, assignments, distributions, licenses, deliveries and the assumptions required to be made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been consummated at Closing (or at such other time as is contemplated hereby), the Parties shall reasonably cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts (for no more than nine (9) months, as to Contracts, after which such transfer, assignment, distribution, license, delivery or assumption is first attempted) to effect such consummation as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable, including executing and delivering such further instruments of transfer and assumption and taking such other actions as the Parties may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or to more effectively transfer to the Purchaser or confirm the Purchaser’s right, title to or interest in, all of the Purchased Assets, to put the Purchaser in actual possession and operating control thereof and to permit the Purchaser to exercise all rights with respect thereto (including rights under Contracts and other arrangements as to which the Consent of any third party to the transfer thereof shall not have previously been obtained). Prior to such



transfer, assignment, distribution, license, delivery or assumption, upon written request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide or obtain for the Purchaser, at no cost to the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, an arrangement with respect to the applicable Purchased Assets (including Contracts included in the Purchased Assets, Transferred Registrations and Transferred Permits, as well as any Contracts that would be Purchased Assets but for the failure of a Consent, and, to the extent permitted by Law and for a reasonable transition period after the Closing to afford the Purchaser the opportunity to obtain appropriate replacements for same, Registrations, permits, licenses, certifications and approvals related to the Business not included in the Purchased Assets but that are prior to the Closing used by the Seller and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Business) under which the Purchaser will receive substantially comparable benefits and perform the obligations under such assets, including, in certain circumstances, the Purchaser subleasing or continuing operations in a leased facility prior to obtaining consent to assignment of the lease for such facility; provided, that, any Liabilities relating to or arising out of any period of time after the Closing in respect of any such arrangements shall be deemed Assumed Liabilities, except to the extent relating to or arising out of any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller. With respect to any such arrangement, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to make such amendments to this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement as are appropriate under the circumstances, including with respect to the timing of the transfer of Business Employees and the scope of the services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement. The Seller and the Purchaser shall treat and deal with any such portion of the Purchased Assets that have not been so assigned, licensed, sublicensed, delivered or assumed as if full legal and equitable title to such portion of the Purchased Assets had passed from the Seller to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and all rights and benefits (financial and otherwise) after the Closing shall be deemed the Purchaser’s and all Liabilities after the Closing in respect thereof shall constitute Assumed Liabilities. If and when any such Consent shall be obtained (the cost of obtaining any such Consent, if any (other than the cost of obtaining any Registrations, permits, licenses, certifications and approvals related to the Business not included in the Purchased Assets, which shall be borne by the Purchaser), shall be borne by the Parties in accordance with Section 7.8(b)) or such agreement, lease, license or other right included in the Purchased Assets shall otherwise become assignable or sublicenseable, the Seller shall promptly assign or sublicense its agreed-to rights and obligations thereunder to the Purchaser without payment of further consideration and the Purchaser shall, without the payment of any further consideration therefor, assume such rights and obligations.
(d)    In connection with any Contract included within the Purchased Assets, the Parties shall, subject to any limitations under applicable Law, reasonably cooperate with each other in all respects in seeking to obtain any required Consent thereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall designate representatives of each Party to confer and develop a plan with respect to seeking such Consents, including for the purposes of coordinating meetings and other communications with any such Contract counterparty relating to the continuity of the business relationship with such party in connection with the Business after the Closing.
(e)    In the event that the Parties determine that certain assets, rights or properties which properly constitute Purchased Assets were not transferred to the Purchaser at Closing, the Seller



shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary to transfer and deliver any and all of such assets to the Purchaser without the payment by the Purchaser of any further consideration therefor. In the event that the Parties determine that certain Excluded Assets were transferred to the Purchaser at Closing, then the Purchaser shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary to transfer and deliver any and all of such Excluded Assets to the Seller without the payment by the Seller of any further consideration therefor.
Section 7.9    Books, Records and Files. The Purchaser and the Seller agree that the Seller may maintain copies of any Books, Records and Files that are included in the Purchased Assets and that are delivered to the Purchaser hereunder (but excluding any Books, Records and Files related to any Business Intellectual Property) and the Seller may prepare a comprehensive index and file plan of such Books, Records and Files to the extent required by and in accordance with any bona fide document or record retention policy of the Seller in effect from time to time; provided, that such Books, Records and Files shall remain subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including those provisions of Section 7.16). The Purchaser agrees to retain and maintain all Books, Records and Files included in the Purchased Assets for a period of at least seven (7) years after the Closing (plus any additional time as required by Law or during which the Purchaser has been advised by the Seller that (i) there is an ongoing Tax audit with respect to periods prior to the Closing or (ii) any such period is otherwise open to assessment; provided that only such Books, Records and Files reasonably related to the appropriate Tax audit or period as advised by the Seller shall be subject to such time extension). During such period, the Purchaser agrees to give the Seller and its representatives reasonable cooperation, access (including copies) and staff assistance, as needed, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, with respect to the Books, Records and Files delivered to the Purchaser hereunder, and the Seller agrees to give the Purchaser and its representatives reasonable cooperation, access and staff assistance, as needed, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, with respect to the Books, Records and Files relating to the Business and retained by the Seller, in each case as may be necessary for general business purposes, including the defense of litigation, the preparation of Tax returns and financial statements and the management and handling of Tax audits; provided, further that such cooperation, access and assistance shall be conducted at the Seller’s sole cost and expense and shall not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Purchaser or the Seller or their respective Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Seller nor any of its respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or copies of any income Tax Returns of the Seller or any such Affiliate, except as provided in Section 9.4.
Section 7.10    Litigation Support. For so long as any Party or any Affiliate of a Party is actively contesting or defending against any Action brought by or against any third party (including any Governmental Authority) in connection with: (a) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or before the Closing Date relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Excluded Liabilities or the Assumed Liabilities, the other Party shall cooperate with the contesting or defending Party (or Affiliate of a Party) and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be reasonably requested in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (or Affiliate of a Party) (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification for the foregoing under this Agreement).




Section 7.11    Allocation of Business Income.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Article II, it is the intention of the Parties that, as between the Parties, the Seller shall be entitled to all income attributable to the Business conducted prior to the Closing and the Purchaser shall be entitled to all income attributable to the Business conducted from and after the Closing. All such income shall be reported in accordance with GAAP.
(b)    With respect to any of the Purchased Assets that as of the Closing are deployed in rental, leasing or similar arrangements, the Seller will bill the appropriate customer(s) or other third parties for all rentals, lease payments and other amounts earned through the Closing, and the Purchaser will be responsible for all billings in respect thereof after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may prior to the Closing mutually agree in writing as to alternate arrangements as to all or any portion of such Purchased Assets, in which case such alternate arrangements shall apply with respect thereto.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided in Article II, each Party shall pay to the other Party, promptly after receipt thereof, any amount received by said Party from any third party with respect to (i) rentals, fees or other revenues relating to the Business and attributable to the ownership period of the other Party; and (ii) products delivered, services performed or other obligations performed by the other Party and attributable to the ownership period of such other Party.
Section 7.12    Non-Solicitation. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) (a) hire or (b) directly or indirectly, recruit, solicit or induce any Transferred Employees who continues to be employed by the Purchaser or its Affiliate to terminate his or her employment with the Purchaser or its Affiliates or to seek or accept employment with any Person other than the Purchaser or its Affiliates (in each case contemplated by the foregoing clause (b), other than general solicitations not specifically targeted at any Transferred Employee(s)), or (ii) directly or indirectly, solicit or induce any independent contractors, customers, suppliers of the Purchaser or its Affiliates to terminate its contractual relationship with the Purchaser or its Affiliates relating to the Business, except, in the case of actions covered by this clause (ii), in connection with any activities permitted to be taken by the Seller and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.13.

Section 7.15    Confidentiality.
(a)    The Seller recognizes that it and its Subsidiaries has had access to and knowledge of certain Confidential Information concerning the Purchased Assets, the Business, the Business Products and the Purchaser. The Seller acknowledges that such Confidential Information is valuable, proprietary and confidential to the Business and that the Purchaser has paid substantial consideration and incurred substantial costs to acquire such Confidential Information. The Seller agrees that such Confidential Information shall be kept in strict confidence and treated as valuable, proprietary and confidential. The Seller agrees that it will not (and will not permit its Subsidiaries or any of their respective personnel to), at any time, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge, or make known to any person, use, or otherwise appropriate for its own benefit or the benefit of others any of such Confidential Information, or permit any person to examine or make copies of any documents that contain or are derived from such Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. The Seller agrees to take (and cause its Subsidiaries and their respective personnel to take) reasonable measures to prevent the inadvertent or accidental disclosure of any such Confidential Information. Nothing in this Section 7.15 shall limit the ability of the Seller or its Subsidiaries to disclose Confidential Information (A) to its respective accountants, financial advisors, and legal counsel (provided that such accountants, financial advisors and legal counsel agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent that would be required of the Seller hereunder), and (B) to the extent of any publicly-released disclosures made by the Purchaser.
(b)    The Purchaser recognizes that the Transferred Employees have had access to and knowledge of, and certain of the Books, Records and Files contained within the Purchased Assets may contain, Confidential Information concerning the Excluded Assets, the Seller’s Other Businesses, the products of the Seller’s Other Businesses, and Seller and its Subsidiaries. The Purchaser acknowledges that such Confidential Information is valuable, proprietary and confidential to the Seller and its Subsidiaries and that the Seller and its Subsidiaries have paid substantial consideration and incurred substantial costs to acquire or develop such Confidential Information. The Purchaser agrees that such Confidential Information is the intellectual property of the Seller and its Subsidiaries. The Purchaser further agrees that it will not (and will not permit its Affiliates to) (i) direct or solicit any Transferred Employee to, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge, or make known to any person any such Confidential Information known by such Transferred Employee or (ii) use, or otherwise appropriate for its own benefit or the benefit of others any of such Confidential Information known by any Transferred Employees. The Purchaser shall cooperate with the Seller (at the Seller’s cost) to enforce the terms of any applicable confidentiality agreements between the Seller and the Transferred Employees. With respect to any such Confidential Information contained within in any Books, Records and Files contained within the Purchased Assets, the Purchaser agrees that it will not (and will not permit its Affiliates to), at any time, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge, or make known to any person, use, or otherwise appropriate for its own benefit or the benefit of others any of such Confidential Information, or permit any person to examine or make copies of any documents that contain or are derived from such Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of the Seller, and the Purchaser agrees to take (and cause its Affiliates to take) reasonable measures to prevent the inadvertent or accidental disclosure of any such

The Seller shall remit its share of such Periodic Taxes to the Purchaser no earlier than ten (10) days before the due date for such Periodic Taxes.
Section 9.2    Taxes Attributable to Other Periods. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall be responsible for all Taxes relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Business. The Purchaser shall be responsible for all Taxes relating to a Post-Closing Tax Period with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Business.
Section 9.3    Refunds. The Seller shall be entitled to retain or, to the extent actually received



by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, receive payment promptly from the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes paid by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business. For purposes of this Section 9.3, the term “refund” shall include amounts arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing, a reduction in Taxes and the use of an overpayment of Taxes as an audit or other Tax offset. Upon the reasonable request of the Seller and at the expense of the Seller, the Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all claims for refunds relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be required to file a claim for a refund to the extent the claim relates to a carryback of an item. The Purchaser shall be entitled to retain or, to the extent actually received by the Seller or its Subsidiaries, receive payment promptly from the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall be entitled to all refunds or credits relating to VAT imposed on the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the Business pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 9.4    Resolution of Tax Controversies. If a claim shall be made by any Tax Authority that might result in an indemnity payment to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 12.3, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller of such claim. As soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of such notice, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser access to all Tax Returns, Books, Records and Files that are reasonably necessary to contest the subject of such claim. In the event that a Tax Authority determines a deficiency in any Tax, the Party ultimately responsible for such Tax under this Agreement, whether by indemnity or otherwise, shall have authority to determine whether to dispute such deficiency determination and to control the prosecution or settlement of such dispute; provided that with respect to Straddle Periods, the Purchaser shall control the dispute. The Party that is not ultimately responsible for such Tax under this Agreement shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the conduct of any such proceeding involving a Tax claim that would adversely affect such Party. With respect to any Straddle Period, neither the Purchaser nor the Seller, respectively, shall accept any proposed adjustment or enter into any settlement or agreement in compromise for any material proceeding relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets without obtaining the consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, from the Seller or the Purchaser, respectively.
Section 9.5    Conveyance Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all transfer, conveyance, documentary, recording, sales, use, stamp and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes, but excluding any VAT or Taxes based on or attributable to income or capital gains) (including any penalties and interest thereon) imposed by any Tax Authority in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets or the Business to the Purchaser or its Affiliates by this Agreement (“Conveyance Taxes”) shall be shared equally by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, regardless of which Party or its Subsidiaries are obligated to pay such Conveyance Taxes under applicable Tax Laws. The Parties agree (and shall cause their respective Affiliates) to reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to the filing of any such Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Conveyance Taxes. The Parties acknowledge that, with respect to the Republic of Austria, the language set forth on the attached Schedule 9.5 is herein incorporated by reference herein and deemed to be a legend to this Agreement.




Section 9.6    VAT.  
(a)    The amount of any payment for a supply of goods or services or the value of any supply made or deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the transfer of the Purchased Assets will be exclusive of any VAT properly chargeable on the supply, and the amount of the VAT will be borne by the Purchaser in addition to any payment due under this Agreement at the time the supply is made. In the event that any VAT is imposed upon or imposed against the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, the Seller will promptly notify the Purchaser of the VAT amount on a valid VAT invoice that, if recovery of VAT as input VAT by the Purchaser is relevant, complies with formal and other requirements under applicable Law for use by the Purchaser in recovery of such VAT as input VAT. Upon receipt thereof, the Purchaser will promptly remit to the Seller the VAT amount specified in such VAT invoice, in addition to the payment for the transfer of the Purchased Assets, and the Seller will make, or will cause to be made, any payments to the applicable Tax Authorities as required under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the previous sentence and solely for Austrian purposes, upon receipt of an Austrian VAT invoice, the Purchaser will promptly remit to the Seller the VAT amount specified in such VAT invoice by way of transfer of the input VAT credit from the Purchaser´s tax account directly to the Seller´s tax account (pursuant to Section 215 (4) of the Austrian Fiscal Code) after the input VAT credit has been assessed by the Austrian tax authorities.
(b)    The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Sellers that prior to Closing each entity (whether the Purchaser or a designated Affiliate) acquiring Purchased Assets, or (if relevant) assuming the Assumed Liabilities, the supply of which, but for the availability of an exemption for the transfer of a going concern, would for VAT purposes be treated as made in any jurisdiction (the “Relevant Jurisdiction”) will be registered for VAT in such Relevant Jurisdiction and on or before Closing, the Purchaser will provide the Seller with the VAT registration number of the Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate with respect to such Relevant Jurisdiction or other evidence of such valid VAT registration for such Relevant Jurisdiction, and shall as soon as is practical after Closing provide the Seller with a copy of a certificate of VAT registration (if applicable) for each such Purchaser or designated Affiliate of the Purchaser in a Relevant Jurisdiction, valid as at the date of Closing.
(c)    The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its Subsidiaries against any Liability for VAT, fines, surcharges, interest or penalties arising to the Seller or any of the Seller’s Subsidiaries as a result of the failure of the transfer of the Purchased Assets to qualify, in whole or in part, as a transfer of a going concern, unless such failure is attributable to the Seller.
(d)    In the event that: (i) an amount of VAT is payable under the terms of this Agreement and the consideration as stated on the relevant VAT invoice in respect of such amount of VAT differs from the actual consideration for the relevant supply for VAT purposes (which will include where the Purchase Price is adjusted in accordance with Section 3.2, 3.6 and 4.4, where the allocation of consideration to any Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities is amended or where no VAT invoice was actually issued), or (ii) where a Governmental Authority determines in writing that a supply by the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller in respect of which the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the









Purchaser has paid VAT should properly be characterized as a transfer of a going concern, the parties agree to co-operate in good faith to correct the respective invoices/VAT returns.
Section 9.7    Cooperation on Tax Matters.
(a)    The Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article IX, any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes and with respect to the structuring of the acquisition of the Business and the Purchased Assets pursuant to this agreement. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party's request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(b)    The Purchaser and the Seller further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax Authority or any other Person as may be reasonably necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that would be imposed under applicable Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c)    The Purchaser and the Seller further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all reasonably requested information in their possession that either Party may be required to report with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (or applicable or analogous state, local or foreign Laws).

INDEMNIFICATION AND SURVIVAL
Section 12.1    Survival of Representations and Warranties.

The covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely unless the covenant or agreement specifies a term, in which case such covenant or agreement shall survive for such specified term and thereafter until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations with respect to the matters covered therein. No claim for indemnification in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy in any warranty or representation, or any breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement, contained in this Agreement may be made after the respective date on which such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement ceases to survive as described above.
Section 12.2    Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the other provisions of this Article XII, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Seller and its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against and in respect of any and all losses, damages, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, Liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) which any Seller Indemnified Parties may actually suffer or incur to the extent arising out of or related to:
(a)    any breach of or inaccuracy in any warranty or representation of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; provided, that solely for purposes of determining Losses hereunder, but not for purposes of determining any breach or inaccuracy, without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification therein;
(b)    any breach by the Purchaser of, or failure by the Purchaser to perform, any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement which by its terms is to be performed prior to or at the Closing;
(c)    any breach by the Purchaser of, or failure by the Purchaser to perform, any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement not covered by Section 12.2(b); and

Section 12.3    Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to the other provisions of this Article XII, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Purchaser and its Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against and in respect of any and all Losses which any Seller Indemnified Parties may actually suffer or incur to the extent arising out of or related to:
(a)    any breach of or inaccuracy in any warranty or representation of the Seller contained in this Agreement; provided, that solely for purposes of determining Losses hereunder, but not for purposes of determining any breach or inaccuracy, without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification therein;

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but except as provided on Schedule 12.3(e)A and Schedule 12.3(e)B), no amounts shall be payable as a result of any claim in respect of Losses arising under Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 to the extent it asserts a claim for consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages, including losses or damages caused by loss of use, profits or revenue, inventory or use charges, cost of purchased or replacement power, interest charges or cost of capital (except and to the extent that such Losses are actually paid to an unaffiliated third party).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnity obligations of the Seller under this Article XII shall be limited as set forth in this Section 12.4(b):
(i)    no indemnity shall be payable by the Seller under Section 12.3(a) with respect to any individual claim for Losses that does not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Minimum Amount”); provided, that, the Minimum Amount shall not be applicable to any breach or inaccuracy of the Seller Fundamental Representations;
(ii)    with respect to individual Losses that are in excess of the Minimum Amount (the “Covered Losses”), no indemnity shall be payable by the Seller under Section 12.3(a) until the aggregate of such Covered Losses exceeds an amount equal to .6% of the Purchase Price (after giving effect to the adjustment, if any, contemplated by Sections 3.6 and 4.4, except that any such adjustment contemplated by Section 4.4 that is subsequently paid to the Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be disregarded) (the “Basket”) and then only for such Covered Damages in excess of the Basket; provided









that, the Basket shall not be applicable to any breach or inaccuracy of the Seller Fundamental Representations; and
(iii)    Seller shall have no further indemnity obligations under Sections 12.3(a) or, to the extent that the Seller has notified the Purchaser prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 7.4 of the applicable failure by the Seller to perform its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement which by its terms are to be performed prior to or at the Closing, 12.3(b), once the aggregate of all Covered Losses paid by it equals an amount equal to 12.5% of the Purchase Price (after giving effect to the adjustment, if any, contemplated by Sections 3.6 and 4.4, except that any such adjustment contemplated by Section 4.4 that is subsequently paid to the Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be disregarded) (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, that, the Maximum Amount shall not be applicable to any breach or inaccuracy of the Seller Fundamental Representations.
(c)    The Purchaser shall in good faith attempt to mitigate the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder; provided, that this subsection (c) shall neither expand nor limit the obligations of any Purchaser Indemnified Party to so mitigate Losses under applicable Law.
Section 12.5    Claims for Indemnification. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 12.5:
(a)    Third Party Claims. In the event that any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand (including a copy of any related written third party demand, claim or complaint) (the “Third Party Claim”), deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnified Party fails to timely deliver the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof; provided, that, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnified Party which notice shall confirm its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XII with respect to such Third-Party Claim and inform the Indemnified Party of counsel to handle the Thirty Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnifying Party (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party). After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of such election to so assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against any such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any Third Party Claim. Neither the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, nor the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall admit liability to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party



may settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Claim the defense of which was assumed by the Indemnifying Party if such Third Party Claim provides only for the payment of monetary damages. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall defend against such Third Party Claim in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in such defense at its own expense.
(b)    Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver an Indemnity Notice to the Indemnifying Party.
(c)    In the event of any claim for indemnity under Section 12.3, the Purchaser agrees to give the Seller and its representatives reasonable access to the books and records and employees of the Purchaser in connection with the matters for which indemnification is sought to the extent the Seller reasonably deems necessary in connection with its rights and obligations under this Article XII.
Section 12.6    Tax Effect. Any indemnification obligation of an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall be adjusted so as to give effect to any net reduction in federal, state, local or foreign Tax liability recognized (either by decrease in Taxes paid or increase in a refund due) at any time by the Indemnified Party in connection with the satisfaction by the Indemnifying Party of any such indemnification obligation.
Section 12.7    Insurance Offset. If any Losses sustained by an Indemnified Party are covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party), the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments. If the Indemnified Party actually receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments prior to being indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed under Section 12.2 or Section 12.3, as applicable, with respect to such Losses, the payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article XII with respect to such Losses shall be reduced by the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments to the extent related to such Losses, less reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. If the Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments after being indemnified and held harmless by an Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payment to the extent related to such Losses, less reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. If any Indemnified Party receives payment under this Article XII on account of a claim that an Indemnifying Party believes in good faith is covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party), that Indemnified Party shall (i) on written request of the Indemnifying Party assign, to the extent assignable, its rights under such insurance policy or indemnification, contribution or similar obligation with respect to such claim to the Indemnifying Party and (ii) be relieved of any further obligation to pursue collection of such insurance or indemnification, contribution or similar obligation (except that, if requested to do so by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, to collect any such



insurance or indemnification, contribution or similar obligation).
Section 12.8    Exclusivity. After the Closing, the indemnities set forth in this Article XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties, their successors and assigns, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates with respect to this Agreement, the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for equitable remedies in respect of any breach by any Party to perform any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement (with respect to which the Parties shall be entitled to seek non-monetary or equitable remedies including specific performance). The indemnities set forth in this Article XII apply only to matters arising out of this Agreement. Any Loss arising under or pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement shall be governed by the indemnification obligations, if any, contained in such Ancillary Agreement. Nothing in this Article XII shall limit any remedy the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have against any Person for actual fraud or any willful and material breach of this agreement.
Section 12.9    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the extent permitted by Law, any amounts payable pursuant to Article IX or this Article XII shall be considered adjustments to the Purchase Price for all income Tax purposes, and the Parties and their respective Affiliates agree to take no position inconsistent with such treatment in any Tax Return or proceeding before any Tax Authority.
Article XIII    

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 13.1    Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no assignment shall be made by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without such consent (i) to an Affiliate or (ii) in connection with a sale, merger or other transaction involving a transfer of substantially all of its assets; provided that such assigning Party shall remain primarily liable for its obligations hereunder.
Section 13.2    Public Announcements. Neither Party shall issue or make any public announcement, press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without the other Party’s prior written consent, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the disclosing Party’s counsel, required by applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing party are listed. In the event a Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, required to make a public disclosure by applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed, such Party shall, to the extent practicable, submit the proposed disclosure in writing to the other Party prior to the date of disclosure and provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.
Section 13.3    Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, and except as otherwise specified herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 13.4    Severability. Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be severable, and the unenforceability of one shall not affect the enforceability of any others or of the remainder of this



Agreement.
Section 13.5    No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied (including Article XII), shall give or be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable rights hereunder.
Section 13.6    Waiver. The failure of any Party to enforce any condition or part of this Agreement at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of that condition or part, nor shall it forfeit any rights to future enforcement thereof. Any waiver hereunder shall be effective only if delivered to the other Party hereto in writing by the Party making such waiver.
Section 13.7    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
Section 13.8    Jurisdiction. The Parties hereto irrevocably agree that any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be exclusively brought in any federal or state court located in New York, New York, and any appellate courts therefrom and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of New York, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action 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 Action in any such court or based on lack of venue, improper venue, inconvenient forum or lack of personal jurisdiction. Process in any such Action may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 13.14 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party.
Section 13.9    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13.9.
Section 13.10    Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise



by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the Business, the Purchased Assets, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party would not have an adequate remedy at Law for money damages in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and specific enforcement of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled (in accordance with Section 13.8), at Law or in equity.
Section 13.11    Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

Section 13.14    Notices. All communications, notices and Consents provided for herein shall be in writing and be given in person or by means of facsimile or electronic mail (with request for assurance of receipt in a manner typical with respect to communications of that type), by overnight courier or by mail, and shall become effective: (a) on delivery if given in person; (b) on the date of transmission if sent by facsimile and/or electronic mail; (c) one (1) Business Day after delivery to the overnight service; or (d) four (4) Business Days after being mailed, with proper postage and documentation, for first-class registered or certified mail, prepaid.

Schedule 8.1(b)(i)  

Provisions Relating to Non-U.S. Automatically Transferred Employees


GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.
It is the intention of the Parties that, from and after Closing, as a result of the transfer of the Business to the Purchaser, and subject to and in accordance with Article VIII, the employment of each Non-U.S. Automatically Transferred Employee will transfer to the Purchaser in accordance with and save as may be provided by the Law, including the Directive 2001/23/EC (the Acquired Rights Directive) or any local implementation thereof or similar mechanism under local Law.
2.
Subject to and in accordance with Article VIII, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall become the employer of the Non-U.S. Automatically Transferred Employees at Closing, and the Purchaser or its Affiliate will accept and assume all liabilities under the Employee Agreements of the Non-U.S. Automatically Transferred Employees. Non-U.S. Automatically Transferred Employees will remain entitled to all existing conditions and benefits following from their employment agreements and all applicable Compensation and Benefit Plans as at Closing until a valid amendment of such conditions is agreed or is validly unilaterally imposed by the Purchaser in accordance with the requirements of local Law.
3.
The Seller and the Purchaser shall use all reasonable endeavors, to the extent permitted by Law, to prevent any Non-U.S. Automatically Transferred Employee from contesting the transfer by operation of law or refusing to transfer to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. The Seller and the Purchaser will reasonably cooperate in such activities. The Seller will not interfere with, or otherwise take any action to impair, the Purchaser’s ability to hire any such employee in connection with the foregoing provisions of this Schedule 8.1(b)(i).
4.
Without undue delay after the date of the Agreement, Seller’s Subsidiary employing employees in the relevant jurisdiction (hereinafter the “Applicable OUS Seller”) shall on behalf of both Parties inform the Dedicated Employees and Allocated Employees employed in such jurisdiction (hereinafter the “Applicable OUS Business Employees”) of the transfer of their employment relationships by means of an information letter in due form according to the requirements of local Law. To the extent required by local Law, such information letter shall include the time of the transfer, the reason for the transfer, the legal, economic and social consequences of the transfer for the Applicable OUS Business Employees and any measures planned by Purchaser with respect to the Business Employees. To the extent required by local Law, Seller also shall inform the Applicable OUS Business Employees of their rights to object against such transfer within the applicable time period under local Law.



5.
Both Parties undertake to provide all necessary information for such information letter in accordance with local Law in order to enable the Applicable OUS Seller to distribute such information letter prior to or at Closing.
6.
The Parties shall immediately inform each other of any notices of objection they receive from any Applicable OUS Business Employee.
7.
Insofar as Applicable OUS Business Employees object to the transition of their employment relationship to the Purchaser or a Subsidiary of Purchaser (hereinafter the “Relevant Purchaser”), and insofar as employment relationships are already ended prior to Closing, the Applicable OUS Seller shall handle and satisfy any and all claims of such Applicable OUS Business Employees, including claims on remuneration.
8.
The Parties shall also immediately inform each other of any claims by additional employees (other than the Applicable OUS Business Employees), who allege a transfer of their employment relationship in connection with the business transfer.
9.
Both Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the transfer of such additional employee to the Relevant Purchaser, including court proceedings. The Parties shall cooperate in this regard. If such additional employee is successful in claiming in court to have transferred to the Relevant Purchaser, he will qualify as Business Employee and Transferred Employee with retroactive effect as of Closing. The Purchaser will in such event reimburse the Seller for payments made to such employee, including those under Employee Agreements and Compensation and Benefits Plans, after Closing. The Parties shall not enter into any settlement or agreement or the like with the respective employee without prior approval of the respective other Party, insofar as such an agreement would encumber the respective other Party directly or indirectly.




Schedule 8.1(b)(ii)
Provisions Relating to U.S. Transferred Employees and Non-U.S. Transferred Employees by Agreement

GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.
Not later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or, with respect to the U.S. TSA Employees or OUS TSA Employees, not later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the transfer of such U.S. TSA Employees or OUS TSA Employees as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement), subject to and in accordance with Article VIII, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to each U.S. Business Employee and Non-U.S. Business Employee who is not a Non-U.S. Automatically Transferred Employee, effective as of the Closing Date (or such time provided in the Transition Services Agreement) and on terms described in Article VIII and this Schedule 8.1(b)(ii). The Seller will reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser and its Affiliates in such activities and will not interfere with, or otherwise take any action to impair, the Purchaser’s ability to hire any such employee in connection with the Purchaser’s offers of employment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Schedule 8.1(b)(ii).
2.
Each offer of employment referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to and in accordance with Article VIII of this Agreement and shall:
(a)
be conditional on the Non-U.S. Business Employee resigning from their employment with the Relevant Employer; and
(b)
remain open for acceptance by such Business Employee for at least 7 days after such offer is made.
3.
Where any U.S. Transferred Employee and Non-U.S. Transferred Employee By Agreement accepts an offer of employment from the Purchaser, the Seller will from the day following Closing release such Business Employee(s) from their employment with the Relevant Employer and from any post-termination restrictions (such as non-compete covenants) that might otherwise prevent the Business Employee working for the Purchaser.
