Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated June 29, 2023, by and between Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings and Fortrea Holdings Inc

This Separation and Distribution Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated June 29, 2023, is between Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation (“Labcorp”), and Fortrea Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Labcorp (“Fortrea”). Each of Labcorp and Fortrea is sometimes referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively they are sometimes referred to as the “Parties.”

1.Labcorp is engaged, directly and indirectly through certain of its Subsidiaries, in the Fortrea Business.

2.The Board of Directors of Labcorp (the “Labcorp Board”) has determined that it would be appropriate and in the best interests of Labcorp and its stockholders for Labcorp to separate its businesses into two publicly-traded companies: (i) Labcorp, which will continue to conduct, directly and through members of the Labcorp Group, the Retained Business, and (ii) Fortrea, which will continue to conduct, directly and through members of the Fortrea Group, the Fortrea Business (the “Separation”).

3.Labcorp has formed Fortrea in order to facilitate such Separation and the Distribution.

4.Labcorp currently owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Fortrea (collectively with shares of common stock of Fortrea issued to Labcorp pursuant to the Fortrea Transfer, the “Fortrea Common Stock”), which is the only class of Fortrea stock outstanding.

5.As part of the Separation, (i) Labcorp or other members of the Labcorp Group have contributed or will contribute their interests in the Fortrea Assets to a member of the Fortrea Group, (ii) Fortrea or other members of the Fortrea Group have assumed or will assume the Fortrea Liabilities and (iii) Labcorp or another member of the Labcorp Group has retained or assumed, or will retain or assume the Labcorp Liabilities.

6.To effect the Separation and the Distribution, (i) Labcorp will transfer all of the equity interests of Fortrea Inc. to Fortrea, (ii) the Stock Issuance will occur as provided herein and (iii) the Special Cash Payment will be paid and the Stock Issuance will occur as provided herein (clauses (i)-(iii), together, the “Fortrea Transfer”).

7.The Parties contemplate that, immediately following the Fortrea Transfer, Labcorp will distribute all of the shares of Fortrea Common Stock to Labcorp’s stockholders without consideration on a pro rata basis (the “Distribution”).

8.The Parties intend that the Intended Tax Treatment apply with respect to the Separation, the Fortrea Transfer and the Distribution.

9.Fortrea and Labcorp have prepared, and Fortrea has filed with the SEC, the Form 10, which includes the Information Statement, and which sets forth disclosures concerning Fortrea, the Separation and the Distribution.

10.The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents represent the integrated agreement of Labcorp and Fortrea relating to the Separation and the Distribution, are being entered into together, and would not have been entered into independently.

Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

To the extent that the Conveyance of any Fortrea Asset, the assumption of any Fortrea Liability, the Separation, or the Distribution requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or as otherwise agreed between Labcorp and Fortrea, neither Labcorp nor Fortrea shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.

(b)Delayed Fortrea Asset and Liability Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the Fortrea Group of any Fortrea Asset or assumption by the Fortrea Group of any Fortrea Liability in connection with the Separation or the Distribution would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made by the

Business Transfer Time, then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the Fortrea Group of such Fortrea Assets or the assumption by the Fortrea Group of such Fortrea Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approval or Notification has been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Fortrea Assets or Fortrea Liabilities shall continue to constitute Fortrea Assets and Fortrea Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(c)Treatment of Delayed Fortrea Assets and Delayed Fortrea Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any Fortrea Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any Fortrea Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Business Transfer Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 1.05(b) or for any other reason (any such Fortrea Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Fortrea Asset” and any such Fortrea Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Fortrea Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the member of the Labcorp Group retaining such Delayed Fortrea Asset or such Delayed Fortrea Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed Fortrea Asset or Delayed Fortrea Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit of the member of the Fortrea Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Fortrea Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the Labcorp Group retaining such Delayed Fortrea Asset or such Delayed Fortrea Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed Fortrea Asset or Delayed Fortrea Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Fortrea Group past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the Fortrea Group to whom such Delayed Fortrea Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Delayed Fortrea Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the Fortrea Group in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed Fortrea Asset or Delayed Fortrea Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed Fortrea Asset or Delayed Fortrea Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed Fortrea Asset or Delayed Fortrea Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Business Transfer Time to the Fortrea Group.

(d)Transfer of Delayed Fortrea Assets and Delayed Fortrea Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Fortrea Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Fortrea Liability, are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments to the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Fortrea Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Fortrea Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Fortrea Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Fortrea Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Transaction Document.

Any member of the Labcorp Group retaining a Delayed Fortrea Asset or Delayed Fortrea Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed Fortrea Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed Fortrea Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by Fortrea or the member of the Fortrea Group entitled to the Delayed Fortrea Asset or Delayed Fortrea Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by Fortrea or the member of the Fortrea Group entitled to such Delayed Fortrea Asset or Delayed Fortrea Liability; provided, however, that the Labcorp Group shall not knowingly allow the loss or diminution of value of any Delayed Fortrea Asset without first providing the Fortrea Group commercially reasonable notice of such potential loss or diminution in value and affording the Fortrea Group a commercially reasonable opportunity to take action to prevent such loss or diminution in value.

(f)Approvals and Notifications for Labcorp Assets. To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Labcorp Asset, the assumption of any Labcorp Liability, the Separation or the Distribution requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or as otherwise agreed between Labcorp and Fortrea, neither Labcorp nor Fortrea shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.

(g)Delayed Labcorp Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the Labcorp Group of any Labcorp Asset or assumption by the Labcorp Group of any Labcorp Liability in connection with the Separation or the Distribution would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made by the Business Transfer Time then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the Labcorp Group of such Labcorp Assets or the assumption by the Labcorp Group of such Labcorp Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approval or Notification has been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Labcorp Assets or Labcorp Liabilities shall continue to constitute Labcorp Assets and Labcorp Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

If any transfer or assignment of any Labcorp Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any Labcorp Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Business Transfer Time whether as a result of the provisions of Section 1.05(g) or for any other reason (any such Labcorp Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Labcorp Asset” and any such Labcorp Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Labcorp

Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the member of the Fortrea Group retaining such Delayed Labcorp Asset or such Delayed Labcorp Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed Labcorp Asset or Delayed Labcorp Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit of the member of the Labcorp Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Labcorp Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the Fortrea Group retaining such Delayed Labcorp Asset or such Delayed Labcorp Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed Labcorp Asset or Delayed Labcorp Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Labcorp Group past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the Labcorp Group to which such Delayed Labcorp Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Delayed Labcorp Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the Labcorp Group in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed Labcorp Asset or Delayed Labcorp Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed Labcorp Asset or Delayed Labcorp Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed Labcorp Asset or Delayed Labcorp Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Business Transfer Time to the Labcorp Group.

(i)Transfer of Delayed Labcorp Assets and Delayed Labcorp Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Labcorp Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Labcorp Liability pursuant to Section 1.05(g), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments to the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Labcorp Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Labcorp Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Labcorp Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Labcorp Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Transaction Document.

(j)Costs for Delayed Labcorp Assets and Delayed Labcorp Liabilities. Any member of the Fortrea Group retaining a Delayed Labcorp Asset or Delayed Labcorp Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed Labcorp Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed Labcorp Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by Labcorp or the member of the Labcorp Group entitled to the Delayed Labcorp Asset or Delayed Labcorp Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by Labcorp or the member of the Labcorp Group entitled to such Delayed Labcorp Asset or Delayed Labcorp Liability; provided, however, that the Fortrea Group shall not knowingly allow the loss or diminution of value of any Delayed Labcorp Asset without first providing the Labcorp Group commercially reasonable notice of such potential loss or diminution in

If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased Labcorp Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Fortrea shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and Labcorp or the applicable Labcorp Group member shall assume, such Unreleased Labcorp Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

Section 1.07Treatment of Shared Contracts. (a) Subject to applicable Law and without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Section 1.01(c), unless the Parties otherwise agree or the benefits of any contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding described in this Section 1.07 are expressly conveyed to the applicable Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document, any Contract, a portion of which is a Fortrea Contract, but the remainder of which is a Labcorp Asset (any such Contract, a “Shared Contract”), including those set forth on Schedule 1.07, shall be assigned in relevant part to the applicable member(s) of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, on or after the Business Transfer Time, so that each Party or the member of its Group shall, as of the Business Transfer Time, be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to its respective businesses; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any member of any Group be required to assign (or amend) any Shared Contract in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Contract which is not assignable (or cannot be amended) by its terms (including any terms imposing consents or conditions on an assignment where such consents or conditions have not been obtained or fulfilled) and (ii) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, or cannot be amended or if such assignment or amendment would impair the benefit the parties thereto derive from such Shared Contract, then the Parties shall, and shall cause each of the members of their respective Groups to, take such other reasonable and permissible actions (including by providing prompt notice to the other Party with respect to any relevant claim of Liability or other relevant matters arising in connection with a Shared Contract so as to allow such other Party the ability to exercise any applicable rights under such Shared Contract) to cause a member of the Fortrea Group or the Labcorp Group, as the case may be, to receive the rights and benefits of that portion of each Shared Contract that relates to the Fortrea Business or

the Retained Business, as the case may be (in each case, to the extent so related), as if such Shared Contract had been assigned to a member of the applicable Group (or amended to allow a member of the applicable Group to exercise applicable rights under such Shared Contract) pursuant to this Section 1.07, and to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities (including any Liabilities that may arise by reason of such arrangement), as if such Liabilities had been assumed by a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 1.07.

(b)Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Labcorp and Fortrea shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes the portion of each Shared Contract inuring to its respective businesses as an Asset owned by, and/or a Liability of, as applicable, such Party, or the members of its Group, as applicable, not later than the Business Transfer Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment.

(c)Nothing in this Section 2.07 shall require any member of any Group to make any non-de minimis payment (except to the extent advanced, assumed or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by any member of the other Group), incur any non-de minimis obligation or grant any non-de minimis concession for the benefit of any member of any other Group in order to effect any transaction contemplated by this Section 2.07.

No such Contract (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) will be of any further force or effect after the Business Transfer Time and all parties will be released from all Liabilities thereunder. Each Party will, at the reasonable request of any other Party, take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(b)Labcorp will have caused all of the intercompany receivables, payables, loans and other accounts, rights and Liabilities between Fortrea and any other member of the Fortrea Group, on the one hand, and Labcorp or any other member of the Labcorp Group, on the other hand, in existence as of the Business Transfer Time (collectively, the “Intercompany Accounts”) to be (i) settled in full in cash or (ii) otherwise cancelled, terminated or extinguished, in which case the balance will be treated as a contribution to capital or a dividend (in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), with no further liability or obligation thereunder), such that, as of the Business Transfer Time, there are no Intercompany Accounts outstanding.

guarantor or obligor thereunder; and (ii) each of Labcorp and Fortrea, on behalf of itself and the other members of their respective Groups, agrees not to renew or extend the term of, increase any obligations under, or transfer to a Third Party, any loan, guarantee, lease, contract or other obligation for which the other Party or a member of its Group is or may be liable unless all obligations of such other Party and the members of such other Party’s Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation satisfactory in form and substance to such other Party.

In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, each Party will cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) their reasonable best efforts, prior to, at and after the Distribution, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that neither Labcorp nor Fortrea will be required to make any non-de minimis payments, incur any non-de minimis Liability or offer or grant any non-de minimis accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party in connection with obtaining any Approvals or Notifications. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by another provision of the Transaction Documents, each Party will bear its respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such Approvals or Notifications. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the reasonable request of a Party hereto, the other Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further assurances, deeds, assignments, conveyances, powers of attorney and other instruments and papers as may be required for the transfer to a member of the Fortrea Group of direct or indirect ownership of the Fortrea Assets and to a member of the Labcorp Group ownership of the Labcorp Assets and the assumption by the Fortrea Group of the Fortrea Liabilities and the assumption by the Labcorp Group of the Labcorp Liabilities, as contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that no such assurances, deeds, assignments, conveyances, powers of attorney or other instruments or papers will require Labcorp or any of its Affiliates to

make any additional representations, warranties or covenants, expressed or implied, not contained in this Agreement).

(c)Third-Party Information. Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of Third Parties (i) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the two Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by applicable Laws.

Section 3.04 Protective Arrangements. In the event that a Party or any member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any member of the other Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party, in

seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party.

Solely with respect to the Covered Policies, from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any losses, damages and Liability incurred by any member of the Fortrea Group prior to the Effective Time, Labcorp will provide Fortrea with access to, and Fortrea may make claims under, the Covered Policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the Fortrea Group or the Fortrea Business prior to the Effective Time; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, self-insured retentions and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(iii)Fortrea shall exclusively bear (and neither Labcorp nor any members of the Labcorp Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Fortrea or any member of the Fortrea Group for) and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts (including where any insurer declines, denies, delays or obstructs any claim payment) of all such claims made for the benefit of Fortrea or any member of the Fortrea Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 3.05(b). Where a policy includes a reinstatement of limits, in the event an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the Fortrea Group, on the one hand, and the Labcorp Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the losses of such Group submitted to Labcorp’s insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Effective Time). To the extent that the Labcorp Group or the Fortrea Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of losses submitted to Labcorp’s insurance carrier(s), the other party shall promptly pay the first party an amount so that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, a Party may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate even if available. In the event that a Party elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to the other Party and shall have no rights to claim against or have any benefit from the reinstated limits. A Party which elects to reinstate the policy aggregate shall be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement to the extent such Party has received notice from the other Party that such other Party does not elect to reinstate the limits.

(c)In the event that any member of the Labcorp Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time for which such member of the Labcorp Group is entitled to coverage under Fortrea’s third-party insurance policies, the same process pursuant to Section 3.05(b) shall apply,

substituting “Labcorp” for “Fortrea” and “Fortrea” for “Labcorp”, including for purposes of the first sentence of Section 3.05(f).

(e)Neither Fortrea nor any member of the Fortrea Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group pursuant to this Section 3.05, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have a material and adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or materially reducing coverage, or materially increasing the amount of any premium owed by Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere in any material respect with the rights of Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group under the applicable insurance policy; provided that Fortrea’s, any member of the Fortrea Group’s, any of their respective employees’ or any Third Party’s making of a claim pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(ii) shall not be deemed to be an action that triggers the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii).

(f)Any payments, costs, adjustments or reimbursements to be paid by Fortrea pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be billed quarterly and payable within 30 days from receipt of an invoice from Labcorp. Labcorp shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Fortrea Liabilities and/or claims Fortrea has made or could make in the future, and no member of the Fortrea Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with Labcorp’s insurers with respect to any of Labcorp’s insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs.

(a) Except as provided in, contemplated by or required in connection with the provision of services or licenses pursuant to any Transaction Document or as provided in this Section 3.08, as of the Distribution (i) the Fortrea Group shall not have any right to use or display the Labcorp Names and Marks in any form and (ii) the Labcorp Group shall not have any right to use or display the Fortrea Names and Marks in any form; provided, however, that (A) to the

extent such Labcorp Names and Marks were used or displayed by any member of the Fortrea Group prior to the Distribution, the members of the Fortrea Group shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 12 months after the Distribution, at their expense, cease all use or display of all Labcorp Names and Marks and shall remove any and all references to the Labcorp Names and Marks on Fortrea Assets (including on business cards, stationary, commercial signs and similar identifiers), except that with respect to the Fortrea Assets set forth on Schedule 3.08(a)(ii)(A), the members of the Fortrea Group shall have up to 24 months after the Distribution to cease use or display of Labcorp Names and Marks or to remove any and all references to the Labcorp Names and Marks, (B) to the extent such Fortrea Names and Marks were used or displayed by any member of the Labcorp Group prior to the Distribution, the members of the Labcorp Group shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 12 months after the Distribution, at their expense, cease all use or display of all Fortrea Names and Marks and shall remove any and all references to the Fortrea Names and Marks on Labcorp Assets, except that with respect to the Labcorp Assets set forth on Schedule 3.08(a)(ii)(B), the members of the Labcorp Group shall have up to 24 months after the Distribution to cease use or display of any Fortrea Names and Marks or to remove any and all references to the Fortrea Names and Marks, (C) the Fortrea Group shall have the right to continue to use the Labcorp Names and Marks in perpetuity to the extent they are incorporated into historical records, memorabilia, awards, the Fortrea Assets set forth on Schedule 3.08(a)(ii)(C), and the like prior to the Distribution, and (D) the Labcorp Group shall have the right to continue to use the Fortrea Names and Marks in perpetuity to the extent they are incorporated into historical records, memorabilia, awards, and the like prior to the Distribution.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent any Party (or any member of its respective Group) from using the other’s Names and Marks in documents intended to be filed with Governmental Authorities, in materials intended for distribution to such Party’s stockholders or in any other communication (including correspondence) in any medium that describes the current or former relationship between the Parties (or members of their respective Groups).

(c)Effective immediately after the Business Transfer Time, Labcorp, on behalf of itself and the members of the Labcorp Group, hereby grants to Fortrea and its Affiliates that are in existence at the Business Transfer Time a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and royalty-free license to use and otherwise exploit the Licensed Labcorp IP, including the right to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and export products and services, in each case, in connection with the business of Fortrea and its Affiliates as the same exists as of the Business Transfer Time and however it may thereafter exist or evolve; however, such license shall neither be sublicensable nor transferable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Section 3.08(c) shall require Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group to maintain, renew or prosecute any Licensed Labcorp IP and Labcorp and the members of the Labcorp Group may transfer or abandon or let lapse any Licensed Labcorp IP in

Labcorp’s sole discretion and (ii) Fortrea, on behalf of itself and the members of the Fortrea Group, hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of the Fortrea Group or any other Person claiming on behalf of Fortrea or members of the Fortrea Group shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group before any Governmental Authority with respect to this Section 3.08(c) or the Licensed Labcorp IP.

(d)Effective immediately after the Business Transfer Time, Fortrea, on behalf of itself and the members of the Fortrea Group, hereby grants to Labcorp and its Affiliates that are in existence at the Business Transfer Time a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and royalty-free license to use and otherwise exploit the Licensed Fortrea IP, including the right to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and export products and services, in each case, in connection with the business of Labcorp and its Affiliates as the same exists as of the Business Transfer Time and however it may thereafter exist or evolve; however, such license shall neither be sublicensable nor transferable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Section 3.08(d) shall require Fortrea or any member of the Fortrea Group to maintain, renew or prosecute any Licensed Fortrea IP and Fortrea and the members of the Fortrea Group may transfer or abandon or let lapse any Licensed Fortrea IP in Fortrea’s sole discretion and (ii) Labcorp, on behalf of itself and the members of the Labcorp Group, hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of the Labcorp Group or any other Person claiming on behalf of Labcorp or members of the Labcorp Group shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against Fortrea or any member of the Fortrea Group before any Governmental Authority with respect to this Section 3.08(d) or the Licensed Fortrea IP.

Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within ten days of a notice of non-payment) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8%).

Section 3.10 Inducement. Fortrea acknowledges and agrees that Labcorp’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and the Distribution has been conditioned upon and induced by Fortrea’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including Fortrea’s assumption of the Fortrea Liabilities pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and Fortrea’s covenants and agreements contained in Article III.

Section 3.11 Post-Effective Time Conduct. The Parties acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, each Party shall be independent of the other Party, with responsibility for its own actions and inactions and its own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities following the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in any other Transaction Document, and each Party shall (except as otherwise provided in Article III) use

Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party.

(c)Obligations Not Affected. Nothing contained in Section 4.01(a) or 4.01(b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing contained in Section 4.01(a) or 4.01(b) shall release any Person from:

(i)any Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed, transferred, assigned or allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance with, or any other Liability of any member of any Group under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(ii)any Liability for the sale, lease or receipt of goods, property or services purchased, obtained or used in the ordinary course of business by a member of one Group from a member of the other Group prior to the Effective Time;

(d)No Claims. Fortrea shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the Fortrea Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Labcorp or any other member of the Labcorp Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.01(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.01(a). Labcorp shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the Labcorp Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Fortrea or any other member of the Fortrea Group, or any other

Person released pursuant to Section 4.01(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.01(b).

(e)Execution of Further Releases. At any time at or after the Effective Time, at the request of either Party, the other Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions of this Section 4.01.

Section 1.01Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by Fortrea and the Fortrea Group. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of any Transaction Document, effective as of the Distribution Date and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IV, Fortrea hereby indemnifies Labcorp, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (together, in each case, with their respective successors and permitted assigns, the “Labcorp Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and agrees to hold them harmless from, any and all Damages arising out of, resulting from or related to (whether prior to or following the Distribution) any of the following items (without duplication):

(i)any breach by Fortrea or any other member of the Fortrea Group of any covenant to be performed by such Persons pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Tax Matters Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement) subsequent to the Business Transfer Time;

(ii)any Fortrea Liability, including the failure of Fortrea or any other member of the Fortrea Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and, to the extent applicable, comply with, in due course and in full, any such Fortrea Liabilities;

(iii)any matters for which indemnification is provided by Fortrea or any Fortrea Entity under any Transaction Document (other than this Agreement), it being understood that the terms of such indemnification shall be governed by and subject to the terms of the applicable Transaction Document to the extent such terms differ from the provisions of this Article IV.

(iv)except to the extent it relates to a Labcorp Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the Fortrea Group by any member of the Labcorp Group that survives following the Distribution; and

(v) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if Fortrea shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document, other than the matters described in clause (v) of Section 4.02(b).

(b)Indemnification by Labcorp. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of any Transaction Document, effective as of the Distribution Date and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IV, Labcorp hereby indemnifies Fortrea, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (together, in each case, with their respective successors and permitted assigns, the “Fortrea Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and agrees to hold them harmless from, any and all Damages arising out of, resulting from or related to (whether prior to or following the Distribution) any of the following items (without duplication):

(i)any breach by Labcorp or any other member of the Labcorp Group of any covenant to be performed by such Persons pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document (other than the Tax Matters Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement) subsequent to the Business Transfer Time;

(ii)any Labcorp Liability, including the failure of Labcorp or any other member of the Labcorp Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge, and, to the extent applicable, comply with, in due course and in full, such Labcorp Liabilities;

(iii)any matters for which indemnification is provided by Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group under any Transaction Document (other than this Agreement), it being understood that the terms of such indemnification shall be governed by and subject to the terms of the applicable Transaction Document to the extent such terms differ from the provisions of this Article IV.

(iv)except to the extent it relates to a Fortrea Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the Labcorp Group by any member of the Fortrea Group that survives following the Distribution; and

(v)any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements made explicitly in Labcorp’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if Fortrea shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document; it being agreed that the statements set forth on Schedule 4.02(b)(v) shall be the only statements made explicitly in Labcorp’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document, and all other information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document shall be deemed to be information supplied by Fortrea.

Section 4.02 Calculation and Other Provisions Relating to Indemnity Payments. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article IV will be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates under non-Affiliated third-party, non-captive insurance policies with respect to such Damages (less the costs of filing a claim and any deductibles, premium increases or other

amounts that are or become payable by Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group under the applicable insurance policies or self-insurance programs as a result of such claim). If any Damages resulting in indemnification under Section 4.02 relates to a claim by an Indemnitee or its Affiliates that is covered by one or more non-Affiliated third-party, non-captive insurance policies held by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates, the Indemnitee will use and will cause its Affiliates to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to pursue claims against the applicable insurers for coverage of such Damages under such policies. Without duplication of the first sentence of this Section 4.03, the Indemnifying Party will pay directly, or promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the costs of pursuing such claims (including, if necessary, the filing of coverage litigation). Any indemnity payment hereunder will initially be made without regard to this Section 4.03, and if the Indemnitee or its Affiliates actually receive a full or partial recovery under such insurance policies following payment of indemnification by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Damages, then the Indemnitee will refund amounts received from the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of indemnification actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Damages (less the cost to collect the proceeds of such insurance).

Section 4.04 Procedures for Defense, Settlement and Indemnification of Third-Party Claims. (a) Each Person seeking indemnification under this Article IV (the “Indemnitee”) will give prompt written notice to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by any Third Party (“Third-Party Claim”); provided that the failure of the Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 4.04(a) will not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 4.02, except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the rights of any such Indemnifying Party. Such notice will set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnitee). Thereafter, the Indemnitee will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all written notices and documents (including any court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnitee will provide the Indemnifying Party with such other Information with respect to any such Third-Party Claim reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.04, to assume control of, and defend against, negotiate, settle (subject to Section 4.04(b)) or otherwise deal with such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnitee may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. In the case of any Third-Party Claim for which indemnification is sought, the Indemnifying Party will have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days after receipt of the notice of such claim (the “Indemnification Dispute Period”), to assume control of and defend against such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third-Party Claim, or fails to provide the Indemnitee with notice of its intent to assume control of and defend against any Third-Party Claim within the Indemnification Dispute Period, then the Indemnitee may defend against, negotiate, settle (subject to Section 4.04(b)) or otherwise deal with such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party will assume the

defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Article IV, then the Indemnitee may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided that such Indemnitee will be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnifying Party, a material conflict exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, further that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnitees in connection with any Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation by the Indemnitee will allow the Indemnitee to consult with independent counsel or advisors and to submit comments and questions, which the Indemnifying Party will consider or respond to in good faith but the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to act upon and, subject to the terms of this Article IV, such comments or questions will not alter or limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee will, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, consent of the Indemnitee will not be required for any such settlement if (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such settlement does not permit any order, injunction or other equitable relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against the Indemnitee and (iii) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third-Party Claim and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; provided, however, that in no event will Fortrea (as Indemnifying Party) settle or compromise any Action brought by any Governmental Authority against any Indemnitee without the prior written consent of Labcorp. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Third-Party Claim or in respect of any Environmental Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnitee to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnitee with respect to such Third-Party Claim or Environmental Claim, as applicable.

(c)After any decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, or a settlement shall have been consummated (in accordance with this Article IV), or the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Third-Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnitee will forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

(d)Each party will cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and will furnish or cause to be furnished such records, Information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.04 and the following Section 4.06 will not apply to indemnification related to Tax matters. The procedures for such indemnification will be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement.

Section 4.05 Direct Claim Procedures. (a) In the event an Indemnitee has a claim for indemnity under Section 4.02 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee agrees to give notice in writing, as promptly as practicable, of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, which notice will in no event be delivered to the Indemnifying Party later than 60 days after the Indemnitee first learns of the facts on which such claim is based (such 60-day period, the “Notice Period”). Such notice will set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification and the amount of such damages incurred or that such Indemnitee reasonably estimates in good faith is likely to be incurred in connection with such claim (all taking into account the information then in the possession or under the control of the Indemnitee). The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party within the Notice Period will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure shall have actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party (in which case relieved only to the extent of such prejudice).

(b)If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnitee that it does not dispute its liability to the Indemnitee with respect to any claim other than a Third-Party Claim, the damages arising from any such claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party will pay the amount of such damages to the Indemnitee on demand following the final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute in accordance with ARTICLE V and, if not resolved in accordance with ARTICLE V, either party may seek a resolution of such dispute by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7.03.

Section 4.06 Additional Matters. (a) Cooperation in Defense and Settlement. With respect to any Third-Party Claim for which Fortrea, on the one hand, and Labcorp, on the other hand, may have Liability under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Parties agree to cooperate reasonably and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that is intended to the maximum extent reasonably possible to preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege or doctrine with respect thereto) so as to minimize such Liabilities and defense costs associated therewith. The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third-Party Claims will, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may retain counsel to monitor or assist in the defense of such claims at its own cost.

(b)Certain Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article IV, Labcorp may elect to have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of any and all Actions pending at the Business Transfer Time which relate to or arise out of the Fortrea Business, the Fortrea Assets or the Fortrea Liabilities and as to which a member of the Labcorp Group is also

a plaintiff or named as a target or defendant thereunder (but excluding any such Actions which solely relate to or solely arise in connection with the Fortrea Business, the Fortrea Assets or the Fortrea Liabilities); provided, however, that, (i) Labcorp defends or prosecutes, as applicable, such Actions in good faith, (ii) Labcorp reasonably consults with Fortrea on a regular basis with respect to strategy and developments with respect to any such Action, (iii) Fortrea will have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense or prosecution, as applicable, of such Action, and (iv) Labcorp must obtain the written consent of Fortrea, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to such Action if Labcorp is a defendant and such settlement, consent or judgment would require Fortrea to abandon its rights, change its business practices or incur any Liabilities with respect thereto or if Labcorp is a plaintiff and the resolution involves a judgment that is less than was being sought in respect of the Fortrea Business. After any such compromise, settlement, consent to entry of judgment or entry of judgment, Labcorp and Fortrea will agree upon a reasonable allocation to Fortrea and Fortrea will be responsible for or receive, as the case may be, Fortrea’s proportionate share of any such compromise, settlement, consent or judgment attributable to the Fortrea Business, the Fortrea Assets or the Fortrea Liabilities, including its proportionate share of the reasonable costs and expenses associated with defending same.

(c)Reasonable Minimization of Losses. To the extent any remedial, corrective or other ameliorative action is required to be taken by an Indemnitee in respect of a matter that is the subject of an indemnification claim hereunder, the Indemnitee will only be entitled for indemnification in respect of those actions that would be necessary to perform the minimum necessary remediation, correction or amelioration to remedy the breach or Liability, as the case may be, at the lowest reasonable cost.

(d)Substitution. In the event of an Action that involves solely matters that are indemnifiable and in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party so requests, the Parties will endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the rights and obligations of the Parties regarding indemnification and the management of the defense of claims as set forth in this Article IV will not be affected.

(e)Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnitee, in whole or in part based upon whether the Indemnifying Party has paid all or only part of the Indemnitee’s Liability, as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

Section 4.07 Right of Contribution.

(a)Contribution. If any right of indemnification contained in Section 4.02 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b)Allocation of Relative Fault. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 4.07: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with the Delayed Fortrea Assets or Delayed Fortrea Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the Labcorp Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the Fortrea Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of Fortrea and the other members of the Fortrea Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Labcorp or any other member of the Labcorp Group; (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with Delayed Labcorp Assets or Delayed Labcorp Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the Fortrea Group) shall be deemed to be the fault of Labcorp and the other members of the Labcorp Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Fortrea or any other member of the Fortrea Group; and (iii) any fault associated with the ownership, operation or activities of the Retained Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of Labcorp and the other members of the Labcorp Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Fortrea or any other member of the Fortrea Group.

Section 4.08 Covenant Not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any Fortrea Liabilities by Fortrea or a member of the Fortrea Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Labcorp Liabilities by Labcorp or a member of the Labcorp Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents is void or unenforceable for any reason or (c) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.

Section 4.09 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.
