The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer Tax due on (x) the issue of the Preferred Shares and the Warrant at Closing and (y) the issue of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrant. However, in the case of conversion of Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than

that of the holder of the Preferred Shares to be converted or the Warrant to be exercised, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such Tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Tax has been paid.

8.4 Public Disclosure. On the date of this Agreement, or within 24 hours thereafter, the Company shall issue a press release in a form mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investor. No other written release, public announcement or filing concerning the purchase of the Preferred Shares and the other Transactions shall be issued, filed or furnished, as the case may be, by any party without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release, announcement or filing as may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall not restrict the ability of a party to summarize or describe the Transactions in any SEC Report so long as the other party is provided a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure in advance.

8.5 Tax Related Covenants. Absent a change in Law or Internal Revenue Service practice or a contrary determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code) the Investor and the Company agree not to treat the Preferred Shares as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.305 -5 for United States federal income Tax reporting and withholding Tax purposes and shall not take any Tax position inconsistent with such treatment.

8.6 Further Assurances. Each of the Investor and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents, and to obtain all necessary permits, consents, orders, approvals and authorizations of, or any exemption by, all third Persons required to consummate the Transactions.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company and the Investor shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper and advisable under applicable Law to cause the Transactions to be consummated as soon as practicable, including to (i) prepare and make as promptly as practicable any required submissions and filings with any Governmental Authority or third party (including under applicable Antitrust Laws or any other applicable Laws) with respect to the Transactions, (ii) as promptly as practicable, furnish information required in connection with such submissions and filing, (iii) keep the other parties reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such submissions and filings, including with respect to: (A) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval, waiver, registration, permit, authorization, license, franchise, permit, exemption, certificate or other confirmation (collectively, “Authorizations”), (B) the expiration of any waiting period, (C) the commencement or proposed or threatened

The Company and the Investor agree that they will consult with each other with respect to obtaining all necessary Authorizations and in connection therewith (subject to Section 8.4) (x) the Company shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, (y) the Investor shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to the Investor, the Equity Investors and their respective Affiliates and (z) each of the Company and the Investor shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to the Transactions, in each case, which appear in any material filing made in connection with the Transactions. For purposes hereof, “Antitrust Laws” means the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, and all applicable foreign antitrust Laws and all other applicable Laws issued by a Governmental Authority that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) each of the Company and the Investor agrees to (A) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as soon as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof (unless the parties otherwise agree to a different date), (B) supply as soon as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws and (C) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 8.7(b) necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (including any extensions thereof) as soon as practicable and (ii) each of the Company and the Investor agrees to (A) make the appropriate filings under any foreign antitrust Laws as soon as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof (unless the parties otherwise agree to a different date), (B) supply as soon as practical any additional information and documentary material that may be required or requested by any Governmental Authority under such Antitrust Laws and (C) use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions consistent with this Section 8.7(b) as necessary to obtain any necessary Authorizations from each such Governmental Authority as soon as practicable.

(c) The Company and the Investor shall: (i) promptly notify the other parties hereto of, and if in writing, furnish the others with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the others of the contents of) any communication received from, or given to, any Governmental Authority or third party with respect to the Transactions, (ii) subject to applicable Law and Section 8.4, permit the others to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the others in relation to) any proposed written communication by it to any Governmental Authority or third party with respect to the Transactions, (iii) keep the others informed of any developments, meetings or discussions with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the Transactions, and (iv) not independently participate in any meeting or discussions with a Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the Transactions without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting or discussions and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate and (v) furnish the other parties with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any such Governmental Authority or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Transactions. However, each of the Investor and the Company may designate any non-public information provided to any Governmental Authority as restricted to “Outside Antitrust Counsel” only and any such information shall not be shared with employees, officers or directors or their equivalents of the other party without approval of the party providing the non-public information.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (i) nothing in this Section 8.7 shall limit any applicable rights a party may have to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 so long as such party has up to then complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 8.7.

(a) The Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and employees shall, and the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their other Representatives, to immediately cease all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Takeover Proposal or any proposal reasonably expected to lead to any Takeover Proposal and shall promptly request the return from, or destruction by, all such Persons of all copies of non-public information previously furnished or made available to such Persons by or on behalf of the Company in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality or similar agreement in place with such Person. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and employees shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, not, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any (including by way of furnishing or providing access to the non-public information), or take any action which is reasonably expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal; (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions (except to notify such

Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section 8.8 by any officer or director of the Company (or any other Representative of the Company that is authorized, intentionally sanctioned or intentionally caused by the Company) shall be deemed a breach of this Section 8.8 by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time prior to the Closing, the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or any of its respective Representatives receives a bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof which did not result from a breach of this Section 8.8, the Company, the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and their Representatives may engage in negotiations and discussions with, or furnish any information and other access to, any Person making such Takeover Proposal and any of its Representatives or potential sources of financing if the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, that such Takeover Proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal; provided that prior to furnishing any material non-public information to any such Person, the Company receives from the Person making such Takeover Proposal an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. The Company will promptly notify the Investor in writing of the receipt of such Takeover Proposal and communicate the material terms of such Takeover Proposal to the Investor. The Company will keep the Investor reasonably apprised of the status of such Takeover Proposal upon request (but in any event upon a change in the price or any material terms thereof); provided, that the Company provides the Investor any information with respect to the Company that could reasonably be expected to be material to the Investor, furnished to such other Person which was not previously furnished or made available to the Investor prior to, or concurrently with, the time it is provided to such other Person. In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 8.8, the Company will reasonably promptly provide notice to the Investor in writing (and in any case within forty-eight (48) hours of knowledge of receipt) of the receipt of such Takeover Proposal. The Company shall keep the Investor reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of all material developments affecting the status of and terms of such Takeover Proposal or request or any material changes to the material terms thereof and of the status of any such discussions or negotiations.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the Board, nor any committee thereof shall (i) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Takeover Proposal or (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, or cause to authorize the Company or any Company Subsidiaries to enter into, any merger agreement, agreement in principle, letter of intent, or other similar agreement providing for any Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 8.8(b)).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d), if (i) the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) has received a Superior Proposal and determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) (A) the Company provides the Investor prior written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d) at least three (3) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) prior to taking such action, to the effect that the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) has received a Superior Proposal and the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) has resolved to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d), which notice shall specify the basis for such termination and attaches thereto the most current version or a reasonably detailed summary of the material terms of such Superior Proposal (which version or summary shall be updated on a prompt basis) (it being understood that any material revision or amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal, including any material revision in price, shall require a new notice and, in such case, all references to three (3) Business Days in this Section 8.8(d) shall be deemed to be one (1) Business Day); (B) during the Notice Period, if requested by the Investor, the Company shall and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to negotiate with the Investor’s Representatives in good faith any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if the Investor, in its sole discretion, proposes to make such adjustments; (C) the Investor has not, within the Notice Period, made a written, binding and irrevocable offer capable of being accepted by the Company to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement such that such Takeover Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal and (D) the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof), after consulting with outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors and taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement agreed to by the Investor after receipt of such notice, continues to believe in good faith that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) from (i) subject to Section 8.8(c) (other than any “stop, look and listen” communication), making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Law, (ii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 8.8, (iii) waiving any standstill provision of any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement that would prohibit a Person or group of Persons from communicating a Takeover Proposal to the Company, the Board or any duly authorized committee thereof, or (iv) following the receipt of a Takeover Proposal, contacting the Person or group of Persons who has made such Takeover Proposal to clarify and understand the terms and conditions thereof in accordance with Section 8.8(b).

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any bona fide inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or group (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than the Investor and any of its Affiliates) to (i) purchase or otherwise acquire, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of (A) assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (including securities of Company Subsidiaries) that account for 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or from which 20% or more of the Company’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated basis are derived or (B) 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or 20% of the equity securities of any Company Subsidiary pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction or (ii) a tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owning more than 20% of the outstanding Common Stock or 20% of the equity securities of any Company Subsidiary or of any resulting parent company of the Company, other than the Transactions.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide, written Takeover Proposal on terms which the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor be more favorable to the holders of Common Stock than the Transactions, taking into account to the extent applicable, the legal, financial, regulatory and other factors (including all the terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by the Investor in accordance with Section 8.8(e)) that the Board considers relevant; provided that for purposes of the definition of Superior Proposal, the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

Except as expressly permitted or required by this Agreement, as required by applicable Law, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (x) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 and (y) the Closing, unless the Investor otherwise consents in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, conduct their businesses only in the ordinary course of business in all material respects consistent with past practice.

9.1 Termination of Agreement Prior to Closing. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by either the Investor or the Company if the Closing shall not have occurred by the 90th calendar day following the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1 shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

9.2 Effect of Termination Prior to Closing. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto, except as expressly set forth in Section 9.3; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any breach of any covenant of this Agreement; and provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of Section 9.3, Section 10.1, Sections 10.2(b), (c) and (d), Section 10.7, Section 10.9, Section 10.11 and this Section 9.2 shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

10.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, except as provided in the following sentences. It is accordingly agreed that (i) the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement from the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), without proof of damages, without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, (ii) the provisions set forth in this Section 10.2 (A) are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and (B) shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any party’s right to specific enforcement, and (iii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right neither the Company nor Investor would have entered into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall only be entitled to seek or obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies enforcing the Equity Funding Letter to cause the Equity Financing to be funded at the Closing, enforcing Section 8.11 to cause the MPSA to be executed and delivered by Ascension or otherwise causing the Closing to occur, if all conditions (other than the condition set forth in Section 7.6) are satisfied or waived and the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that if the Equity Financing is funded and the MPSA is executed and delivered by Ascension then it will take such actions that are required by it under this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. The parties hereto further agree that (1) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.2(a), a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement (including monetary damages) in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 10.2(a) are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (2) nothing set forth in this Section 10.2(a) shall require any party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.2(a) prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Section 9 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.2(a) or anything set forth in this Section 10.2(a) restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of any party hereto for monetary damages or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Transactions shall be limited to $50,000,000. Except with respect to the Limited Guaranty to the extent expressly provided therein, in no event shall any party hereto seek or permit to be sought on behalf of such party any damages or any other recovery, judgment or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, from any Affiliate of such party, or any Representative, member, controlling Person or holder of any equity interests or

securities of such party, or any of their respective Affiliates, in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and no personal liability shall attach to, in each case with respect to damages, any Person (other than such party to the extent provided in this Agreement), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of such party against any other party thereto or any Affiliate thereof, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law, or otherwise.

(c) The equitable remedies available to the parties hereto described in this Section 10.2 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity that they may elect to pursue; provided, that while any party hereto may concurrently pursue both (i) a grant of specific performance in accordance with this Section 10.2 and (ii) money damages pursuant to this Agreement, under no circumstances shall such party be permitted or entitled to be awarded both a grant of specific performance and any money damages pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Each party hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any other party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Transactions. Each party agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in the State of Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in the State of Delaware as described herein. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 10.2 in any such action or proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 10.9. However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

10.3 Survival. The representations and warranties in this Agreement shall expire at the Closing and have no further force and effect, other than (a) in the event of fraud, they shall survive indefinitely, and (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.2, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.21 (such representations and warranties contained therein, the “Fundamental Reps”), which shall survive until the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in writing by notice of a claim made in accordance with the provisions hereunder and seeking to be indemnified within the time periods set forth in this Section 10.3 shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its Affiliates and its and their respective stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), (i) incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any breach of any Fundamental Rep (other than Section 4.21) (ii) incurred by any Indemnitee relating to any third party claim brought against Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any breach of Section 4.21 or (iii) incurred by the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a result of any fact, circumstance or matter giving rise to a breach of Section 4.21 or the investigation, defense, adjudication or settlement of any claim or investigation relating to any fact, circumstance or matter that relates to alleged non-compliance with any Health Care Law to the extent such non-compliance would be a breach of Section 4.21 (an “Indemnifiable Health Care Matter”). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. In the event of a claim for indemnification pursuant to clause (iii) of the first sentence of this subsection (a), the Indemnified Liabilities for which the Investor shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.4(a) shall be, (A) if the Ownership Percentage is equal to or greater than 50%, an amount equal to the aggregate monetary and other out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the Indemnifiable Health Care Matter or (B) if the Ownership Percentage is less than 50%, an amount equal to the Indemnity Percentage multiplied by the aggregate monetary and other out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the Indemnifiable Health Care Matter. The Company shall not be required to make payments to, or on behalf of, the Indemnitees in respect of Indemnified Liabilities under clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 10.4(a) unless and until the aggregate payments to be made to, or on behalf of, the Indemnitees in respect of such Indemnified Liabilities (calculated, in the case of Indemnified Liabilities under clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 10.4(a), in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) exceed $5,000,000 (the “Deductible”) and then only with respect to such excess; provided that the Company shall not be required to make payments to, or on behalf of, the Indemnitees in respect of such Indemnified Liabilities in the aggregate in excess of $22,500,000 above the Deductible.

(b) If any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate

counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee except to the extent that: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing; (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel; or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnitee. The Company will not be liable to any Indemnitee under this Agreement for any settlement by an Indemnitee effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Following the Closing, the indemnification provided by Section 10.4(a) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any loss, liability, demand, claim, action, cause of action, cost, damage, deficiency, tax, penalty, fine or expense, whether or not arising out of third party claims (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs and all reasonable amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing) of the Indemnitees with respect to any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any Fundamental Rep.

10.5 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators of the parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by either of the parties without the prior written consent of the other party, except that the Investor may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (a) one or more of its Affiliates at any time and (b) after the Closing, to Ascension Health, TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P. or any of their Affiliates in connection with a transfer of the Series A Preferred or the Warrant.

10.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, and no Person that is not a party to this Agreement (including any partner, member, shareholder, director, officer, employee or other beneficial owner of any party, in its own capacity as such or in bringing a derivative action on behalf of a party) shall have any standing as third-party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.7 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Owners, Etc. Except for the Company’s ability to enforce this Agreement, the Equity Funding Letter and the Limited Guaranty against the respective signatories thereto, no director, officer, employee, incorporator, shareholder, managing member, member, general partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of the Investor or the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Investor or the Company, as applicable, under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the respective obligations of the Investor or the Company, as applicable, under this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.2, each party hereby waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is a material inducement to each party’s entry into this Agreement.

10.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including the Registration Rights Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

10.9 Notices. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be mailed by reliable overnight delivery service or delivered by hand, facsimile or messenger as follows:

or in any such case to such other address, facsimile number or telephone as either party may, from time to time, designate in a written notice given in a like manner. Notices shall be deemed given when actually delivered by overnight delivery service, hand or messenger, or when received by facsimile if promptly confirmed.

10.10 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any breach or default, or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

10.11 Expenses. The Company and the Investor shall bear their own expenses and legal fees incurred on their behalf with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.8.

10.12 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Investor or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that Section 8.11 cannot be amended or waived without the written consent of Ascension Health. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any securities purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding (including securities into which such securities are convertible), each future holder of all such securities, and the Company. Any consent hereunder and any amendment or waiver of any term of this Agreement by the Company must be approved in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement.

10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and signatures may be delivered by facsimile or in electronic format, each of which may be executed by less than all the parties, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

10.15 Titles and Subtitles; Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to in this Agreement means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if it is drafted by each of the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

10.16 No Additional Representations. Except for the representations and warranties contained in Section 4, the Investor acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Person on behalf of the Company makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information made available to the Investor in connection with the Transactions. Neither the Company nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to the Investor or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Investor, or the Investor’s use of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to the Investor in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in expectation of the Transactions, unless and then only to the extent that any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Section 4.
