2.08 Allocation of Purchase Price. Within one-hundred-twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (including any Assumed Liabilities and other amounts treated as consideration for the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes) (the “Allocation Schedule”) among the Purchased Assets.

The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Seller and Buyer agree to file their respective IRS Forms 8594 and all federal, state and local Tax Returns in accordance with the Allocation Schedule.

2.09 Non-assignable Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.09, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Purchased Asset would result in a violation of applicable Law, or would require the consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority), and such consent, authorization, approval or waiver was not obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, thereof (unless Buyer notifies Seller that any such Purchased Asset should be transferred or assigned notwithstanding the absence of a requisite consent); provided, however, that the Closing is occurring notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof. Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required consent, authorization, approval or waiver, or any release, substitution or amendment required to novate all Liabilities and obligations under any and all Assigned Contracts or other Liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Buyer shall be solely responsible for such Liabilities and obligations from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor. Once such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment is obtained, Seller shall, to the extent not previously sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered to Buyer, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Purchased Asset to which such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration. Applicable sales, transfer and other similar Taxes in connection with such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or license shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by Seller in accordance with Section 6.04.

(b) To the extent that any Purchased Asset and/or Assumed Liability cannot be transferred to Buyer following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.09, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties the economic and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Purchased Asset and/or Assumed Liability to Buyer as of the Closing and the performance by Buyer of its obligations with respect thereto. Buyer shall, as agent or subcontractor for Seller, pay, perform and discharge fully the Liabilities and obligations of Seller thereunder from and after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Seller shall, at Buyer’s expense, hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, such Purchased Asset and all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller to the extent related to such Purchased Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.09. Seller shall be permitted to set off against such amounts all direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall not apply to any consent or approval required under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law. For purposes of this Section 2.09(b) only, Mixed Contracts will be treated as if they were Purchased Assets such that Buyer realizes the benefit of the bargain with respect to the Mixed Contracts to the extent applicable to the Business.

2.10 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer, the Escrow Agent, or their designees, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. In the event that Buyer, the Escrow Agent or their designees determines that it is required to deduct and withhold from an amount payable to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, it shall promptly notify Seller for the purpose of determining the actions, if any, that can be taken to avoid the withholding requirement.

Seller hereby agrees that it will not, and will cause its Representatives and Affiliates not to, at any time on or after the Closing, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), disclose or use, any Confidential Information involving or relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets (except at the request of Buyer); provided, however, that Seller may, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose or use Confidential Information (if such Confidential Information is applicable to other aspects of Seller’s business in addition to the Business), but only to the extent reasonably necessary for the conduct of the Seller’s business; provided, further, that the information subject to the foregoing provisions of this sentence will not include: (a) any information generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation hereof); or (b) any information that becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not prohibited from disclosing such information by any legal, contractual or fiduciary obligations; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 6.02 will not prohibit any retention of copies of records or disclosure: (i) required by any applicable Law so long as reasonable prior notice of such disclosure is given to Buyer and a reasonable opportunity is afforded Buyer to contest such disclosure; or (ii) made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.03 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which a party’s (or Affiliate’s) stock is traded, the parties to this Agreement shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives to not, make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the parties shall reasonably cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.03 will not prohibit any disclosure (i) by Buyer to its direct or indirect equityholders to the extent customarily provided to such current or prospective equityholders, or the posting of a news release regarding the transactions contemplated hereby on Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s website; (ii) made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; or (iii) that is a reproduction of information disclosed on an approved public announcement.

6.04 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be borne and paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by Seller. Buyer shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Seller shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

6.05 Straddle Periods. Buyer shall prepare all Tax Returns with respect to the Business and the Purchased Assets for any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). Buyer shall provide a draft of any such Tax Return to Seller at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof for Seller’s review, and shall incorporate any reasonable comments provided thereto by Seller. Liability for all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and other ad valorem Taxes levied with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets in any Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days in such Straddle Period prior to and including the Closing Date (for which Seller shall be liable) and the number of days in such Straddle Period after the Closing Date (for which Buyer shall be liable). Each party shall pay to the other any Taxes for which it is liable hereunder that are payable by such other party to an applicable Governmental Authority at least ten (10) days prior to the due date thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing portion of this Section 6.05 does not apply to the income Tax Returns of the Seller or the Buyer. Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall be responsible for the preparation of its own income Tax Returns and neither party shall have the right or obligation to review the other party’s income Tax Returns.

6.06 Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller, to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the Closing, any consents required to assign the Assigned Contracts to Buyer, to the extent such consents have not previously been obtained. In the event any Assigned Contract for an independent sales representative for the Products also includes Tutopatch Products, then Buyer will cooperate with Seller for purposes of Seller entering into new contracts with such independent sales representatives for purposes of continuing the supply of Tutopatch Products.

6.07 Non-competition; Non-solicitation.

(a) Neither Seller nor Seller’s Affiliates, either directly or indirectly, shall: (i) compete, or assist a third party in any activity that competes anywhere in the world with the Business until five (5) years following the Closing;(ii) solicit any customers or vendors of the Business, excluding activities falling outside the Field, until five (5) years following the Closing; or (iii) solicit any of Buyer’s employees for any reason until five (5) years following the Closing.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Section 6.07 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under all applicable Laws. Unenforceability or the modification to conform with such applicable Laws of any provision of this Section 6.07 shall not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of this Section 6.07. The covenants in Section 6.07(a) with respect to duration, geography and scope shall be deemed to be separate covenants, and should any court of competent jurisdiction conclude or find that Section 6.07(a) or any portion thereof is not enforceable with respect to duration, geography or scope, such conclusion or finding shall in no way render invalid or unenforceable this Section 6.07, and the maximum duration, geography or scope reasonable under the circumstances as determined by such court of competent jurisdiction shall be substituted for the stated duration, geography or scope in order to render the same valid and enforceable to the maximum extent under applicable Laws. Seller acknowledges that the duration, geography and scope of such restrictions are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required to protect the Business and Buyer and its Affiliates.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.07 shall not prohibit Seller from manufacturing any products for a third Person that is not an Affiliate of Seller (in the provision by Seller of contract manufacturing services to such third Person) to treat Trauma generally (including but not limited to Trauma to the sternum or anterior ribs), provided that (i) treatment of Trauma to the sternum or anterior ribs is not a primary purpose or a substantial focus of the marketing of such products, (ii) such products are marketed and sold solely under trademarks or brands controlled by such third Person and not under any trademark or brand owned or controlled by Seller or any Affiliate thereof and (iii) Seller provides no design or product engineering services with respect to any such products in the Field.

6.08 Misallocation of Assets.

(a) If, at any time following the Closing, either party becomes aware that any Purchased Asset which should have been transferred to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including finished goods inventory pursuant to Section 2.01(a)) was not transferred to Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, then Seller shall promptly transfer or cause its Affiliates to transfer such Purchased Asset to Buyer for no consideration and at Seller’s expense.

(b) If, at any time following the Closing, either party becomes aware that any Excluded Asset which should have been retained by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement was transferred to Buyer, then Buyer shall promptly transfer or cause its Affiliates to transfer such Excluded Asset to Seller for no consideration and at Buyer’s expense.

6.09 Regulatory Compliance.

(a) Regulatory Matters Pending at Closing:

(i) [****]. Seller agrees to provide Buyer and its employees, agents, Representatives, consultants, and contractors reasonable access to any real property, books, and records associated with the manufacture of Sternal Products for the purpose of confirming satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 6.09(a)(i);

(ii) Seller, at its own expense, shall promptly, but in no event later than, (A) December 31, 2017 as pertaining to the [****].

(b) Sternal Product Permit and Registration Transfer.

(i) Upon completing all [****] described in Section 6.09(a), and upon receiving Buyer’s written notice that it has successfully obtained all Product Authorizations required for the sale of those Sternal Products not covered under Mixed Product Registrations, Seller, at its own expense, shall promptly make all required filings with the applicable Governmental Authorities to transfer and assign all Permits and Registrations for the Sternal Products, other than the Mixed Product Registrations and Product Authorizations for which such Permits or Registrations are required so that Buyer will be the owner or holder of such Permit or Registration and to permit Buyer to be the legal manufacturer and distribute the Sternal Products in its own name;

(ii) With respect to Mixed Product Registrations, Seller shall, at its own expense, promptly and diligently pursue issuance of a separate Registration for the applicable Sternal Product in the name of Seller containing only indications for use in the Field. Seller shall transfer such separate Registration to Buyer upon receipt of Buyer’s written notice that it has obtained all Product Authorizations required for the sale of those Sternal Products covered under Mixed Product Registrations. As reasonably requested by Seller, Buyer will cooperate, at its own expense, in executing any necessary paperwork or other activities or requirements the satisfaction of which are in Buyer’s control. Until such time as the aforementioned separate Registration has been received, Seller shall hold and maintain in effect in its name (and free of any Encumbrance or rights in any other Person other than Permitted Encumbrances) the Mixed Product Registrations, and comply with the terms and conditions of

the private label and distribution provisions of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. In the event new pre-clinical animal studies, clinical studies, or extraordinary testing are required to obtain such new Registrations (the “Clinical Prerequisite”), the pursuit of such Registration shall be deemed to fall under Section 2.09 and the parties will in good faith negotiate a resolution in accordance therewith. Except in the case of a Clinical Prerequisite, if a separate Registration as contemplated in this Section 6.09(b)(ii) has not been received by June 30, 2018, Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, have the option (the “510(k) Option”) to require Seller to convey, transfer, and assign to Buyer, the applicable Mixed Product Registration (upon conveyance, a “Shared Authorization”). If Buyer elects to exercise the 510(k) Option, it shall provide written notice to Seller of its election and Seller shall, upon receipt of such notice and without additional consideration, undertake procedures with respect to the Mixed Product Registration as provided for in Section 6(b)(i) as if it was not a Mixed Product Registration. Upon the transfer of the Shared Authorization(s) to Buyer, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Buyer shall have no obligation of any kind or nature whatsoever to produce, manufacture, or distribute any of Seller’s products that are reliant on the Shared Authorizations prior to its transfer to Buyer, and (ii) Buyer shall have no liability or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever to any of Seller’s customers or third parties by virtue of Seller having any Liabilities or other obligations to such Persons in connection with the transfer of the Shared Authorizations. Upon Buyer being in possession of the new Registration in its name or the Shared Authorization, the applicable Sternal Products manufactured thereunder shall be manufactured under the ordinary terms of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement without reference to the private label aspects thereof. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a transfer, conveyance, or assignment resulting in a Shared Authorization, Buyer agrees to cooperate in good faith with Seller to enter into an agreement under which Seller will be permitted to manufacture products under a private label arrangement to supply Seller’s customers under the condition that Seller indemnify and hold Buyer harmless in any and all respects whatsoever related thereto.

(i) Buyer acknowledges that the manufacture, distribution and selling of Sternal Products (or other operation of the Business generally) may require Buyer to apply for, qualify for, and obtain its own new, or otherwise separate, Permits and/or Registrations from Governmental Authorities based upon its own ability to satisfy the applicable requirements. Except to the extent related to the transfer from Seller to Buyer of the Purchased Assets, and as otherwise required in connection with such transfer under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, any and all such costs associated therewith shall be at Buyer’s expense. In this regard, and with respect to Product Authorizations and the Sternal Products manufactured thereunder, Seller shall hold and maintain in effect in its name the Product Authorizations and manufacture such Sternal Products under the terms and conditions of the private label and distribution provisions of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement, until such time as Buyer obtains the necessary Permits and Registrations to manufacture, distribute and sell the applicable Sternal Products in its own name. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Permits and Registrations in a timely manner.

(d) Seller agrees to provide Buyer and its employees, agents, Representatives, consultants, and contractors reasonable access to any real property, books, and records associated with the manufacture of Sternal Products for the purpose of confirming resolution of [****].

6.10 Accounts Receivable and Payable. Following the Closing, Seller agrees that it will collect all of its accounts receivable in connection with the Business and pay all of its accounts payable with respect to the Business, in each case in the ordinary course of business consistent with the past practices and customs of the Business, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to not take any action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, cause any disruption to the Business. Additionally, Buyer agrees that to the extent it receives accounts receivable relating to a pre-Closing period, the Buyer shall promptly remit such funds to Seller.

6.11 Thorecon FDA Clearance. Following the Closing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Thorecon product. In addition, Seller shall provide Buyer with monthly updates regarding the status and progress of an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Thorecon product, shall copy Buyer on all 510(k) filings and correspondence with the FDA related to the Thorecon product, and shall provide prompt written notice to Buyer of any notice or other communication delivered to Seller from the FDA or any other Governmental Authority related to the Thorecon product.

6.12 Transfer of Sternal Product Files. Upon the applicable Sternal Product registration being conveyed, assigned or otherwise obtained by Buyer, as set forth in Section 6.09(b) or Section 6.09(c), Seller shall provide Buyer with the associated Technical File, Design History File/Design Outputs and the Device Master Record, as defined by current FDA regulations, MDR/ISO standards or other Governmental Authorities, as well as all documentation associated with the design and production processes of the Sternal Products (including, but not limited to, validations, testing data, and qualifications).

6.13 Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller acknowledges that Buyer’s obligations to pay the Earn-Out Amount, and Guarantor’s guarantee with respect thereto, are subordinated to Buyer’s obligations under its financing agreements and that Buyer and Guarantor may be restricted from making a payment on the Earn-Out Amount pursuant to their financing agreements. Any payment received by Seller in violation of the foregoing shall be held in trust by Seller for the benefit of the lenders under such financing agreements and shall promptly be paid over to such lenders by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the lenders under such financing agreements are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.13, which may not be amended or modified in any manner that would affect their respective rights hereunder without the written consent of the lenders or agents for such lenders under such financings. In the event Buyer and Guarantor are restricted from making any Earn-Out Amount payments to Seller, Vance Street Capital II, L.P. agrees that it shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller on the date any Earn-Out Amount is due and payable to Seller.

Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is one (1) year from the Closing Date; provided that (i) the representations and warranties in (i) Sections 4.01 (Organization and Qualification of Seller), 4.02 (Authority of Seller), 4.06 (Title to Purchased Assets), 4.22 (Brokers), and 4.23 (510(k) Ownership), and 5.01 (Organization and Authority of Buyer), 5.02 (Authority of Buyer) and 5.04 (Brokers), (such sections, collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, (ii) Section 4.07 (Intellectual Property), Section 4.10 (Taxes), and Section 4.12 (Environmental Matters) (such sections, collectively, the “Statutory Representations”) shall survive for a period of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (iii) Section 4.20 (Sufficiency of Assets) shall survive for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. Each of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date.

7.02 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) any breach of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement, the Quality Agreement, or the Transition Services Agreement; or

(e) to the extent attributable to actions or omissions occurring prior to Closing, any non-compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and any Laws and Governmental Orders administered by the FDA or any foreign Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Seller applicable to the design, development, testing, manufacture, packaging, handling, distribution or sale of Sternal Products.

7.03 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

7.04 Certain Limitations. The party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Subject to Section 7.04(c), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a) exceeds $200,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible. With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed $10,000 (which Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible).

(b) Subject to Section 7.04(c), the aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations on liability contained in Sections 7.04(a) and 7.04(b) for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(a) and Section 7.03(a) shall not apply to breaches of any Fundamental Representations, Statutory Representations and the representations contained in Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.04; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Losses shall be limited to the amount of the Purchase Price, except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud as to which there shall be no limit.

(d) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02(d) and 7.02(e) shall not exceed the amount of the Purchase Price received by Seller from Buyer, except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud as to which there shall be no limit.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02(d): [****].

(f) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim.

(g) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by (i) an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized as a cash reduction to Taxes (determined on a with and without basis) in the taxable year of the Loss as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party and (ii) any recoveries actually received under an insurance policy, less the amount expended to obtain such recoveries.

(h) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any speculative, punitive, special or indirect damages, except to the extent recovered pursuant to a third party claim or that would be recoverable for breach of contract under applicable Law.

(i) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise to a Loss, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

(j) For purposes of the calculation of Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Sections 7.02(a) and 7.03(a), the representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer shall not be deemed to be qualified by any references to materiality (or Material Adverse Effect or terms of like import).

7.05 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt, but in any event within thirty (30) days, written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the

Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or involves any criminal or quasi criminal Action or proceeding, (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects, or (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party (but only to the extent necessary to defend against the injunction or claim for other equitable relief) or (iv) there exists or would, or could reasonably be expected to, exist a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the Indemnifying Party to control the defense. In the event the Indemnifying Party has assumed defense of a Third Party Claim and there exists or would, or could reasonably be expected to, exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to request the Indemnifying Party to appoint alternative legal counsel, failing which the Indemnified Party may regain control of the defense and proceed under this Section as if the Indemnifying Party had not assumed control of the defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. In such case, the Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with a running total of Loses for which indemnification is sought, with such running total to be updated no less than once per calendar quarter. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.02) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If

the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within fifteen (15) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim and shall be liable to the Indemnified Party for the amount thereof. If the Indemnifying Party rejects such claim during such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

7.06 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 8.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from intentional misrepresentation or fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 8.11 or to seek any remedy on account of any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by any party hereto.

This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

8.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

8.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

8.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

8.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent is required for assignment to an Affiliate and Buyer may assign its rights hereunder to any Person as security for financing or in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Business. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

8.08 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.08, Buyer’s and Guarantor’s lenders under their financing agreements are express third party beneficiaries of Section 6.13 of this Agreement.

8.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.09, any amendments or waivers to Section 6.13 of this Agreement shall require the prior written consent of Buyer’s and Guarantor’s lenders under their financing agreements.

8.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.10(c).

8.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

8.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

8.13 Non-recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto (including successors and assigns of such parties) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or of any Affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.
