If Buyer delivers a notice of objection to Parent during that thirty (30) day period, Parent and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the Proposed Allocation. If Buyer makes no objection during that thirty (30) day period or Parent and Buyer agree on an allocation within the thirty (30) day period following Buyer’s delivery of such a notice of objection, the Proposed Allocation or the agreed allocation, as applicable, shall be final and binding on Parent, on behalf of itself and Sellers, and Buyer (the “Agreed-Upon Allocation”). If Parent and Buyer are unable to reach agreement on the Proposed Allocation within thirty (30) days following the delivery to Parent of Buyer’s notice of objection to the Proposed Allocation, the allocation shall be determined by an internationally-recognized independent accounting firm mutually selected by Buyer and Parent (the “Allocation Accounting Firm”) using customary valuation methodologies; provided, however, that the Allocation Accounting Firm shall make its determination within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Allocation Accounting Firm is selected pursuant to this Section 2.03(c). The determination made by the Allocation Accounting Firm of the allocation shall be, absent manifest error, final and binding on Parent, on behalf of itself and Sellers, and Buyer (the “Final Allocation”). All negotiations pursuant to this this Section 2.03(c) shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence, and all negotiations and submissions to the Allocation Accounting Firm, and the dispute resolution proceedings under this Section 2.03(c), shall be treated as confidential information. The fees and expenses of the Allocation Accounting Firm for its services rendered pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, in inverse proportion as each shall prevail on the dollar amounts of such disputed items so submitted to the Allocation Accounting Firm as provided in this Section 2.03(c). The Agreed-Upon Allocation or Final Allocation, as applicable, may be revised by mutual agreement between the Buyer and Parent, from time to time, prior to and following the Closing so as to reflect any matters that need updating (including adjustments to the Purchase Price under Article X, if any).

(d) Each of Parent, Buyer and each of their respective Affiliates shall prepare and file, and cause its Affiliates to prepare and file, its Tax Returns, including Form 8023 and Form 8594 if applicable, on a basis consistent with the Agreed-Upon Allocation or Final Allocation, as applicable. None of Parent, Buyer or their respective Affiliates shall take any position inconsistent with the Agreed-Upon Allocation or Final Allocation, as applicable, in any Tax Return, in any refund claim for any Tax, in any litigation or administrative proceeding relating to any Tax, or otherwise unless required by final determination by an applicable Taxation Authority. In the event that the Agreed-Upon Allocation or Final Allocation, as applicable, is disputed by any Taxation Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and Buyer, Parent and each of their respective Affiliates agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to defend such allocation in any audit or similar proceeding.

SECTION 2.04. Closing Purchase Price Adjustment. No later than three (3) Business Days, but not more than five (5) Business Days, before the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth its good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”), Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), and the Net Intercompany Receivable or Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable (the “Estimated Net Intercompany Receivable” and “Estimated Net Intercompany Payable”), respectively) in each case as of the Reference Time, and the resulting calculation of the Closing Payment, which statement shall be prepared in accordance with Exhibit C. If the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, such excess shall be called the “Estimated Working Capital Excess.” If the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, such deficit shall be called the “Estimated Working Capital Deficit.” If following delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, Parent shall consult in good faith with Buyer regarding the amounts and calculations therein, provide Buyer and its Representatives with reasonable supporting documentation for the calculations included therein, and consider in good faith any comments or modifications from Buyer with respect to such amounts and calculations; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Estimated Closing Statement as referred to in this Agreement shall refer to the statement delivered pursuant to this Section 2.04 as modified to reflect such comments or modifications from Buyer accepted by Parent (acting in good faith).

(a) Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Parent within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth its calculation of Net Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness, and Net Intercompany Receivable or Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, in each case as of the Reference Time (the “Closing Working Capital,” “Closing Cash,” “Closing Indebtedness,” “Closing Net Intercompany Receivable,” and “Closing Net Intercompany Payable,” respectively), including reasonable detail with reasonably detailed supporting documentation. Parent and any accountants and advisors engaged by Parent shall be permitted reasonable access to the books and records of the Transferred Subsidiaries and any documents, schedules or workpapers used by Buyer in its calculation of the Closing Working

Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, for purposes of evaluating Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, and making its own calculations of such amounts; provided that the accountants of Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to Parent or its Representatives except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after Parent or such Representatives has signed a customary agreement relating to access to any work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Statement is delivered to Parent pursuant to Section 2.05(a), Parent shall deliver to Buyer either (i) a written acknowledgement accepting the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, as set forth therein or (ii) a written report setting forth in reasonable detail Parent’s objections and any proposed adjustments to the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, along with reasonably detailed supporting documentation (the “Adjustment Report”). If Parent fails to respond to Buyer within such thirty (30) day period, Parent shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted and agreed to the Closing Statement, including the calculation of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, as set forth therein.

(c) Following Buyer’s receipt of the Adjustment Report, if any, the parties shall work in good faith to resolve Parent’s objections set forth therein and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable. In the event Parent and Buyer fail to agree on the Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives the Adjustment Report (or such longer period as they may mutually agree), then Parent and Buyer agree to submit any remaining disputed amounts to Ernst & Young LLP, or if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, another internationally recognized independent accounting or valuation firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Parent (the “Working Capital Accounting Firm”) for computation or verification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer and Parent shall direct the Working Capital Accounting Firm to review the matters remaining in dispute and, within thirty (30) days following its engagement (or within the shortest time frame as the Working Capital Accounting Firm agrees), deliver a written report to Buyer and Parent setting forth its determination of the proper amounts of such disputed matters. Buyer and Parent shall enter into a customary and reasonable engagement letter with the Working Capital Accounting Firm. The Working Capital Accounting Firm shall consider only the disputed matters that were included in the Adjustment Report that Buyer and Parent were unable to resolve. Each of Buyer and Parent shall be entitled to make a presentation to the Working Capital Accounting Firm regarding the items and amounts that they are unable to resolve, but neither Buyer nor Parent shall meet or have any conversations separately with the Working Capital Accounting Firm (other than conversations limited to the submission of a request for documents or information by the Working Capital Accounting Firm to such party)

without the other party’s prior written consent. Each of Buyer and Parent may also furnish to the Working Capital Accounting Firm such other information and documents as it deems relevant or such information and documents as may be requested by the Working Capital Accounting Firm; provided, that it delivers a copy thereof substantially simultaneously to the other party. In making its determination, the Working Capital Accounting Firm shall (i) be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the definitions of Net Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness, and Net Intercompany Receivable or Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, the methodology for calculating such amounts, and the terms of this Section 2.05(c), (ii) take into account only the Closing Statement, the Adjustment Report, and information and documents provided to the Working Capital Accounting Firm by or on behalf of Buyer or Parent (i.e., not on the basis of independent review) and (iii) not assign any value with respect to a disputed amount that is in excess of, or less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for such item in the Closing Statement or the Adjustment Report. Buyer and Parent shall cooperate with the Working Capital Accounting Firm in connection with its determination pursuant to this Section 2.05 and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Parent shall, and shall cause their accountants to, provide the Working Capital Accounting Firm all reasonable and timely access to the work papers and other books and records and information as reasonably necessary for the Working Capital Accounting Firm to perform its function as arbitrator; provided that the accountants of Buyer shall not be obligated to make any work papers or other books and records or information available to the Working Capital Accounting Firm except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after the Working Capital Accounting Firm has signed a customary agreement relating to access to any work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. The remedies provided this Section 2.05(c) shall be the exclusive remedy for resolving disputes related to the determination of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, and the decision of the Working Capital Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on Parent and Buyer absent manifest error. All negotiations pursuant to this this Section 2.05(c) shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence, and all negotiations and submissions to the Working Capital Accounting Firm, and the dispute resolution proceedings under this Section 2.05(c), shall be treated as confidential information. The costs and expenses of the Working Capital Accounting Firm for its services rendered pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, in inverse proportion as each shall prevail on the dollar amounts of such disputed items so submitted to the Working Capital Accounting Firm.

(d) The date on which the Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Net Intercompany Receivable or Closing Net Intercompany Payable, as applicable, are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Settlement Date.”

(e) If (i) Closing Working Capital plus Closing Cash minus Closing Indebtedness plus Closing Net Intercompany Receivable, if applicable, minus Closing Net Intercompany Payable, if applicable, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.05 exceeds (ii) Estimated Working Capital plus Estimated Cash minus Estimated Indebtedness plus Estimated Net Intercompany Receivable, if applicable, minus Estimated Net Intercompany

Payable, if applicable, then Buyer shall pay to Parent such excess. If (i) Closing Working Capital plus Closing Cash minus Closing Indebtedness plus Closing Net Intercompany Receivable, if applicable, minus Closing Net Intercompany Payable, if applicable, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.05 is less than (ii) Estimated Working Capital plus Estimated Cash minus Estimated Indebtedness plus Estimated Net Intercompany Receivable, if applicable, minus Estimated Net Intercompany Payable, if applicable, then Parent shall pay to Buyer such deficit.

(f) Any payment required pursuant to (i) the first sentence of Section 2.05(e) shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Settlement Date by the transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Parent in writing to Buyer within three (3) Business Days after the Settlement Date, or (ii) the second sentence of Section 2.05(e) shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Settlement Date by the transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Buyer in writing to Parent within three (3) Business Days after the Settlement Date. All such payments shall be considered an adjustment to the Purchase Price, including for purposes of any Tax, and this adjustment to the Purchase Price will include any applicable VAT in relation to the Purchase Price as provided in Section 7.08.

SECTION 2.06. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Interests and the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Alston & Bird LLP, One Atlantic Center, 1201 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30309 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until Closing, but subject to their satisfaction or waiver at the Closing); provided, that if the Marketing Period has not ended on or prior to the time the Closing would have otherwise been required to occur pursuant to the foregoing, the Closing shall not occur until the earlier to occur of (i) a Business Day during the Marketing Period specified by Buyer on no fewer than three Business Days’ written notice to Parent (it being understood that such date may be conditioned upon the simultaneous completion of the Debt Financing) and (ii) the third Business Day following the final day of the Marketing Period (subject, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until Closing, but subject to their satisfaction or waiver at the Closing)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing may be consummated at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as Parent and Buyer may mutually agree in writing (the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”).

SECTION 2.07. Closing Deliveries by Parent. At the Closing, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer:

(a) other than with respect to uncertificated Interests (with respect to which such notarial deeds or other instruments of transfer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and duly executed by Parent or the Interest Seller, as applicable, will be delivered as required under applicable Law to give effect to the transfer of such uncertificated Interests), certificates evidencing the Interests duly endorsed in blank, or accompanied by stock powers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and duly executed in blank and with all required stock transfer tax stamps affixed, in all cases free and clear of any Encumbrances;

(f) such other documents as may be required by applicable Law to consummate the transfer of the Owned Real Property owned by an Asset Seller to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 2.09. Withholding.

Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such deduction and withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, and paid to the proper Taxation Authority pursuant to any applicable Tax Law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Except as set forth in the corresponding section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to which such representation and warranty relates, Parent and Sellers hereby, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

(a) Parent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has all necessary corporate power and authority to (i) own, operate or lease the properties, rights and assets owned, operated or leased by it that are related to the Business (including the Purchased Assets or the Interests, as applicable) and to carry on the Business as it has been and is currently conducted, (ii) enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party, (iii) carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder and (iv) consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Parent is duly authorized, licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (or its local equivalent) under the Laws in each jurisdiction in which the properties, rights or assets owned or leased by it or the operation of the Business by it makes such authorization, licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing has not had and would not have a Seller Material Adverse Effect. Assuming the accuracy of Buyer’s representation in Section 4.10, the execution and delivery by Parent of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party, the performance by Parent of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Parent. This Agreement has been, and upon their execution each of the Ancillary Agreements to which Parent is a party will be, (i) duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent, and, (ii) assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto and thereto (other than Affiliates of Parent), a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity) (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

(b) Each Seller has been duly incorporated or formed, is a validly existing legal entity and, where applicable, is in good standing (or its local equivalent) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, and has all necessary corporate (or other) power and authority to (i) own, operate or lease the properties, rights and assets now owned, operated or leased by it that are related to the Business (including the Purchased Assets or the Interests, as applicable) and to carry on the Business as it has been and is currently conducted, (ii) enter into,

execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party, (iii) carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder and (iv) consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each Seller is duly authorized, licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (or its local equivalent) under the Laws in each jurisdiction in which the properties, rights or assets owned or leased by it or the operation of the Business by it makes such authorization, licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing has not had and would not have a Seller Material Adverse Effect. Each Seller is a wholly owned, direct or indirect, Subsidiary of Parent. The execution and delivery by each Seller of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party, the performance by such Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by such Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be, when executed as provided in this Agreement, duly authorized by all requisite corporate (or other) action on the part of such Seller. This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which a Seller is a party will be, when executed as provided in this Agreement, (i) duly and validly executed and delivered by such Seller and, (ii) assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto and thereto (other than Parent or any Affiliates of Parent), a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

SECTION 3.02. Organization, Authority and Qualification of the Transferred Subsidiaries. Each Transferred Subsidiary has been duly incorporated or formed, is a validly existing legal entity, is in good standing (or its local equivalent) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and has all necessary power and authority to own, operate or lease the properties, rights and assets now owned, operated or leased by it and to carry on the Business as it has been and is currently conducted. Each Transferred Subsidiary is duly authorized, licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (or its local equivalent) under the Laws in each jurisdiction in which it, the properties, rights or assets owned or leased by it or the operation of the Business by it makes such authorization, licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing has not had and would not have a Seller Material Adverse Effect. The execution and delivery by a Transferred Subsidiary of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party, the performance by such Transferred Subsidiary of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by such Transferred Subsidiary of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate (or other) action on the part of such Transferred Subsidiary. Each Ancillary Agreement to which a Transferred Subsidiary is a party will be, when executed as provided in this Agreement, (i) duly and validly executed and delivered by such Transferred Subsidiary and, (ii) assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto and thereto (other than Parent or any Affiliates of Parent), a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Transferred Subsidiary enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. True and complete copies of the Governing Documents of each Transferred Subsidiary have been made available to Buyer prior to the date hereof.

(a) Section 3.03 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of the Transferred Subsidiaries and Minority Investment, and sets forth, for each Transferred Subsidiary and Minority Investment, the name, type of entity, jurisdiction and date of its incorporation, its authorized capital stock or similar ownership interests, the number and type of its issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or similar ownership interests and the owners thereof.

(b) Except for this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights, securities, or Contracts relating to the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or similar ownership interests of any Transferred Subsidiary, or obligating Parent, its Affiliates, any Transferred Subsidiary or any Seller to issue, transfer or sell, or cause to be issued, transferred or sold, any shares of capital stock or similar ownership interests of any Transferred Subsidiary or Minority Investment or other equity security of any Transferred Subsidiary or Minority Investment, or other security convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of capital stock or other equity securities of any Transferred Subsidiary or Minority Investment, or grant, extend or enter into any such Contract. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of Parent or its Affiliates to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Interests or any other interest in the Transferred Subsidiaries or Minority Investment. No shares of capital stock or similar ownership interests of any of the Transferred Subsidiaries are reserved for issuance for any purpose. There are no voting trusts, proxies, or other agreements or understandings to which any Transferred Subsidiary is a party with respect to the voting of any shares of capital stock or similar ownership interest of any Transferred Subsidiary, nor is there any voting trust, proxy or other agreement to which Parent or its Affiliates is a party with respect to the voting of any shares of capital stock or similar interest of any Minority Investment. There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness issued by any Transferred Subsidiary which have the right to vote (or which are convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which stockholders of such Transferred Subsidiaries are entitled to vote. No Transferred Subsidiary holds, directly or indirectly, equity interests or capital stock (or rights to acquire equity interests or capital stock) of any Person, and no Purchased Assets include the equity interests or capital stock of any Person.

(c) Each foreign Transferred Subsidiary is in compliance with all statutory minimum capitalization requirements of applicable Law.

SECTION 3.04. No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and each Seller of this Agreement and by Parent, each Seller and each Transferred Subsidiary of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party do not and will not, (a) conflict with or violate the Governing Documents of Parent, Sellers or the Transferred Subsidiaries, (b) assuming all consents, waivers, approvals, orders, authorizations and other actions described in

Section 3.05 have been obtained, all filings and notifications listed in Section 3.05 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule have been made and any applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated, conflict with or violate any Law or Governmental Order applicable to Parent, Sellers or the Transferred Subsidiaries, as applicable, or by which any of their respective properties, rights or assets are bound or affected, (c) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or require any consent, approval, or authorization under or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, suspension, revocation, acceleration or cancellation of, or the loss of any benefit under, any Material Contract, or result in the creation or imposition of an Encumbrance, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, on any of the properties or other assets of the Business or any Transferred Subsidiary, except with respect to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 3.04, to the extent any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.05. Governmental Consents and Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and each Seller of this Agreement and by each of Parent, each Seller and each Transferred Subsidiary of each Ancillary Agreement to which it is or will be a party do not and will not require any consent, approval, waiver, authorization or Permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except (a) applicable requirements of the HSR Act and any foreign acquisition control or Competition Laws, (b) as may be necessary as a result of any facts or circumstances relating solely to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (other than simply the change of the owner or operator of the Business), and (c) such other consents, approvals, waivers, authorizations or permits, the failure of which to obtain would not have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Parent has made available to Buyer copies of (i) the combined audited balance sheets of the Business as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and related audited statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended (the “Annual Financial Statements”) and (ii) the unaudited combined pre-tax balance sheet of the Business as of June 30, 2017, in each case excluding the Medical Device Business (the “Interim Balance Sheet”). The Annual Financial Statements (A) are derived from, and have been prepared in accordance with, the consolidated financial statements and books and records of Parent and its Affiliates, (B) fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the Business (excluding the Medical Device Business) as of the dates indicated, and (C) fairly present, in all material respects, the assets and liabilities, the results of the operations, changes in equity and cash flows of the Business (excluding the Medical Device Business) for the periods then ended. The Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The Interim Balance Sheet is derived from, and has been prepared in accordance with, the consolidated financial statements and books and records of Parent and its Affiliates, except that it does not include footnote disclosure and does not include income tax-related accruals and disclosures.

(b) There are no material Liabilities of Parent or any of its Affiliates (to the extent relating to the Business) or of any Transferred Subsidiary or the Business (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) required by GAAP to be set forth on a combined

balance sheet of the Business, except (i) Liabilities expressly reflected, reserved for or disclosed in the Interim Balance Sheet, (ii) Liabilities incurred or accrued in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the Balance Sheet Date, (iii) Liabilities incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or (iv) Excluded Liabilities.

(c) Parent maintains systems of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in all material respects, including internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements of the Business in conformity with GAAP and maintain accountability for assets.

To the Knowledge of Parent and Sellers, no third party is infringing or otherwise violating the Business Intellectual Property.

No Asset Seller or Transferred Subsidiary has

assigned its interest under any such Occupancy Agreement or sublet any part of the Leased Real Property, and none of them has received or delivered written notice of any default with respect to any such Occupancy Agreement and, to the Knowledge of Parent and Sellers, no event has occurred that with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. None of Parent or any Seller has received written notice that any of the buildings, structures, fixtures or other improvements on the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property do not conform in all material respects to all applicable Laws and use restrictions. Parent has not, and no Asset Seller or Transferred Subsidiary has, received any written notice within the past twenty-four (24) months of any pending or threatened condemnations, planned public improvements, annexation, special assessments, zoning or subdivision changes affecting the Leased Real Property.

No Seller has received any written claim by a Taxation Authority in a jurisdiction where a Transferred Subsidiary does not file Tax Returns to the effect that that Transferred Subsidiary is or may be subject to taxation in that jurisdiction, and no Seller has received any written claim by a Taxation Authority in a jurisdiction alleging that Seller has a duty to file Tax Returns and pay any Tax with respect to any Purchased Asset (it being understood that a “nexus questionnaire” or similar inquiry by a Taxation Authority shall not constitute a written claim described in this representation).

The execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party, the performance by Buyer of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Buyer. This Agreement has been, and

upon their execution each of the Ancillary Agreements to which Buyer is a party will be, (a) duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer, and, (b) assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto and thereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is or will be a party, do not and will not (a) conflict with or violate the Governing Documents of Buyer, (b) assuming that all consents, waivers, approvals, orders, authorizations and other actions described in Section 4.03 have been obtained, all filings and notifications have been made and any applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated, conflict with or violate any Law or Governmental Order applicable to Buyer, (c) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or require any consent, approval, or authorization under or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, suspension, revocation, acceleration or cancellation of, or loss of benefit under, any Contract to which Buyer is party or by which its properties or assets are bound, except with respect to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 4.02, to the extent any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences would not prevent or materially delay Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 4.03. Governmental Consents and Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is or will be a party do not and will not require any consent, approval, waiver, authorization or Permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except (a) applicable requirements of the HSR Act and any foreign acquisition control or Competition Laws and (b) such other consents, approvals, waivers, authorizations or permits, the failure of which to obtain would not prevent or materially delay Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 4.04. Brokers. Except for fees payable to Lazard Frères & Co. LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which fees will be paid by Buyer, none of Buyer or any of its officers, directors or employees, has employed any broker, finder or investment banker or incurred any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 4.05. Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to Buyer’s Knowledge, threatened against Buyer, other than Actions that, if determined adversely to Buyer, would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 4.06. Solvency. Assuming (i) the satisfaction of the conditions to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of this Agreement (without giving effect to any Knowledge, materiality or Seller Material Adverse Effect qualifiers) and that all material contingent liabilities are disclosed therein and in the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (iii) the estimates, projections or forecasts provided by Parent or its Affiliates to Buyer prior to the date hereof have been prepared in good faith on assumptions that were and continue to be reasonable, then immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer will not (a)

be insolvent (either because its financial condition is such that the sum of its debts is greater than the fair market value of its assets or because the fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay its probable Liability on its existing debts as they mature), (b) have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business, or (c) have incurred debts or obligations beyond its ability to pay them in the ordinary course of business as they become due.

SECTION 4.07. Financing. Buyer has delivered to Parent true and complete copies of the executed commitment letter, dated as of the Agreement Date, among Buyer and certain of its Affiliates and Bank of America, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter, to lend the amounts set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter for the purposes of financing the transactions contemplated hereby and related fees and expenses (the “Debt Financing”). The Debt Commitment Letter and the related fee letter are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Financing Agreements.” None of the Financing Agreements has been amended or modified prior to the Agreement Date; and none of the respective commitments contained in the Financing Agreements have been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect prior to the Agreement Date. As of the Agreement Date, the Financing Agreements are in full force and effect and are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Buyer and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, the other parties thereto, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law). Except for fee letter(s) relating to fees with respect to the Debt Financing (complete copies of which have been provided to Parent, with only the fee amounts and certain economic terms of the market flex (none of which would adversely affect the amount or availability of the Debt Financing) redacted), as of the Agreement Date there are no side letters or other Contracts related to the funding or investment, as applicable, of the Debt Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Agreements delivered to Parent prior to the Agreement Date. Buyer has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Financing Agreements that are payable by it on or prior to the Agreement Date. The only conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the obligations of the lenders to fund the full amount of Debt Financing are those expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. As of the Agreement Date, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer or any direct investor in Buyer under any term, or a failure of any condition, of the Financing Agreements or otherwise would be reasonably likely to result in any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable. As of the Agreement Date, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 8.02(a)(i), 8.02(a)(ii) and 8.02(a)(iii), Buyer has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Financing Agreements required to be satisfied by it. Based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the proceeds from the Debt Financing, together with the cash or cash equivalents otherwise available to Buyer, will provide Buyer at the Closing with sufficient funds to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and otherwise satisfy all of its obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of the Purchase Price and all fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement are not contingent in any respect upon the funding of amounts contemplated by the Debt Financing.

SECTION 4.08. Restricted Securities. Buyer is acquiring the Interests for its own account, with the intention of holding the Interests for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part of the Interests, and Buyer does not have any present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the Interests. Buyer understands that the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of specific exemptions from the registration provisions, which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Buyer’s representations as expressed in this Agreement. Buyer understands that the Interests are “restricted securities” under applicable United States federal and state securities Laws and that, pursuant to such Laws, Buyer must hold the Interests indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and qualified by state authorities or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.

SECTION 4.09. Investment Canada Act. Buyer is a WTO Investor within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act and is not a state-owned enterprise within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act.

SECTION 4.10.Interested Stockholder. From the date that is three years prior to the Agreement Date, none of Buyer or any of its “affiliates” or “associates” is or has been an “interested stockholder” of Parent (as those terms are defined in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law).

SECTION 4.11. Independent Investigation; Exclusivity of Representations and Warranties. Buyer has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the Business, and acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records, and other documents and data of Parent and its Affiliates for such purpose. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III OF THIS AGREEMENT, NONE OF PARENT, ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES MAKE OR HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN RESPECT OF PARENT, ITS AFFILIATES OR THE BUSINESS.

SECTION 5.02. Access to Information; Confidentiality. Between the Agreement Date and the Closing, Parent and its Affiliates will (a) give Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors, consultants and financing sources and other Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Representatives”) reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during Parent’s and its Affiliates’ normal business hours, to the offices, facilities, Books, Records and Files of the Business and to the Business’s executive officers, directors, agents, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors and other Representatives (collectively, the “Business Representatives”), and (b) furnish or make available to Buyer and the Buyer Representatives such financial and operating data and such other information with respect to the business and operations of the Business as Buyer or the Buyer Representatives may from time to time reasonably request. Buyer and the Buyer Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as to minimize any disruption to the Business’s business and not interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Business or otherwise cause any unreasonable interference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), neither Buyer nor any Buyer Representative shall contact any employee, officer, director, independent contractor, supplier, client or customer of Parent or its Affiliates in connection with any information or matter regarding the Business; provided, however, that Buyer or a Buyer Representative may contact such Persons in the ordinary course of Buyer’s business as long as Buyer or such Buyer Representative does not mention, discuss or allude to the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may withhold (i) any document or information, the disclosure of which would conflict with the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party in existence as of the date hereof, (ii) information that, if disclosed, would waive an attorney-client or other privilege or would constitute a waiver of rights as to attorney work product or attorney-client privilege, or (iii) information, the disclosure of which poses a material risk of violating applicable Law pursuant to advice of counsel. If any material is withheld by Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence, Parent shall inform Buyer as to the general nature of the material being withheld and the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which the foregoing limitations would not apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business, privileged communications or other competitively sensitive information. Each party may also reasonably designate any material provided to the other as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions (it being understood that such materials and the information contained therein to be provided only to the outside legal counsel of the receiving party and not to be disclosed by such outside legal counsel to employees, officers or directors of the receiving party without the prior written consent of the party providing such materials). Except as otherwise agreed to by Parent, and notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2017 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Buyer and Parent shall apply to all information furnished to Buyer or any Buyer Representative by any Business Representative under this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that Buyer’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate at the Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Closing, each of Buyer and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cooperate with one another in determining which filings are required to be made by each of them prior to the Closing with, and which consents, approvals, permits or authorizations are required or reasonably advisable to be obtained by each of them prior to the Closing from, Governmental Authorities or other Persons in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) subject to Section 5.03(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, assist one another in timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, approvals, permits, authorizations and waivers required or reasonably advisable to be made and obtained by the others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide any guarantees of obligations under a Contract or Permit required by any Person or Governmental Authority as a condition to granting such Person’s or Governmental Authority’s consent, approval, permit, authorization or waiver with respect to such Contract or Permit. In addition, prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall each use, and shall each cause their respective Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents for the assignment and transfer of the IT Contracts and provision of the services under the Transition Services Agreements, it being agreed that in connection with obtaining such consents (i) Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for one-half (1/2) of all costs and expenses owed to the counterparties of (x) the IT Contracts and (y) any other Contracts for which consent is required to provide the services under the Transition Services Agreements, and (ii) neither party shall be obligated to make, or responsible to pay the cost of, any unreasonable concession, alteration, modification, or amendment of, to, or under any IT Contract or such other Contract (including increased prices, fees, or volumes, term extensions, or entering into a new agreement for additional services) in connection with obtaining such consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with obtaining the consent of any Person (other than a Governmental Authority), no party shall be obligated to offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to obtain any consent or approval required or reasonably advisable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby under any Contract (other than the IT Contracts or Contracts for which consent is required to provide the services under the Transition Services Agreements, as provided above); provided, that, other than with respect to IT Contracts or Contracts for which consent is required to provide the services under the Transition Services Agreements, as provided above, without the prior written consent of Buyer, neither Parent nor its Affiliates shall commit to pay to any third party whose consent or approval is being solicited any amount of cash or other consideration or make any commitment or incur any Liability in connection therewith, in each case to the extent it would be an Assumed Liability. Prior to making any application to or filing with (such as confidential information relating to valuation of the Business, competitively sensitive information or privileged communications) any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, Buyer and Parent shall provide one another with drafts of such application or filing (excluding or, as appropriate, restricting access to any confidential information included in such application or filing) and afford one another a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts. As promptly as practicable, Buyer and Parent shall file or cause to be filed any filings required under any applicable Competition Laws in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including filing the Notification and Report Forms required pursuant to the HSR Act no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Agreement Date, and using reasonable best efforts to file or cause to be filed the applicable filings under the Competition Laws set forth on Section 5.03(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the Agreement Date. Buyer shall bear the filing fees of any required filing under the applicable Competition Laws.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.03(a), each of Buyer and Parent shall (and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and representatives to) consult and fully cooperate with and provide assistance to one another in seeking early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act or any foreign acquisition control or Competition Laws, if applicable, and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Governmental Order that would restrain, prevent or materially delay consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.03, neither Buyer nor Parent shall knowingly impede or delay the termination or expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act or any Competition Laws or enter into any agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice or any similar foreign Governmental Authority responsible for overseeing acquisition control Laws or Competition Laws not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except with the prior written consent of one another, and neither Buyer nor Parent, nor their respective Affiliates, shall withdraw its initial filing under the HSR Act contemplated by this Section 5.03, or any similar filing concerning acquisition control Laws or Competition Laws, with the intent to refile such filing unless the other party has consented in advance to such withdrawal and refiling.

(c) Each of Buyer and Parent shall (i) promptly notify one another of any written or verbal communication to that party from any Governmental Authority located in the United States or outside of the United States with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any application to or filing with such Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and, subject to applicable Law, if practicable, permit one another to review in advance or engage in consultation, as appropriate, concerning any proposed substantive written or verbal communication with respect to such matters to any such Governmental Authority and incorporate the other parties’ reasonable comments, (ii) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend, (iii) respond as fully and promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries or requests for information or documents received from any Governmental Authority in connection with the filings under the HSR Act or other similar filings concerning acquisition control Laws or Competition Laws related to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) furnish one another with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between such parties and their Affiliates and their respective representatives on one hand, and any such Governmental Authority or its staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business, privileged communications or other competitively sensitive information. Each party may also reasonably designate any material provided to the other as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions (it being understood that such materials and the information contained therein to be provided only to the outside legal counsel of the receiving party and not to be disclosed by such outside legal counsel to employees, officers or directors of the receiving party without the prior written consent of the party providing such materials).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any administrative or judicial Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of the HSR Act or any foreign acquisition control Laws or Competition Laws, or if any Law or Governmental Order is enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by a Governmental Authority that would make the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct its business in a specified manner, (ii) agree to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct its business in a specified manner or (iii) permit the sale, holding separate or other disposition of, any assets of Buyer or its Subsidiaries, or conduct its business in a specified manner, and (iv) contest and resist any such Action, in all of such cases of (i) through (iv), as may be required to avoid the commencement of any such Action, or if already commenced, to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Governmental Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to have such Law or Governmental Order repealed, rescinded or made inapplicable so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall be required to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, Liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of Buyer and its Affiliates as they would exist after the Closing, taken as a whole. Parent shall not, without the written consent of Buyer, publicly or before any Governmental Authority or other Person, offer, suggest, propose or negotiate, and shall not commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any sale, divestiture, disposition, prohibition or limitation or other action of a type described in this Section 5.03(d).

(e) Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets or equity interests, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Authority seeking or entering a Governmental Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Governmental Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall retain the ownership of the trade name Avent and any Trademarks and domain names that include the name Avent or Kimberly-Clark (or variations thereof), all of which such domain names are set forth on Section 5.04(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Seller Licensed Marks” and “Seller Licensed Domains,” respectively). Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.04, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no right to use in any way Seller Licensed Marks.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than six (6) months after the Closing, Buyer shall cease to use and remove or cover the Seller Licensed Marks from all signs, billboards, telephone listings, stationery, office forms or other materials in any media of the Business (“Business Materials”). Buyer may use the Seller Licensed Domains on the Internet for twelve (12) months after the Closing, solely to redirect Internet users to websites using domain names other than those containing the Seller Licensed Marks. The Parties shall cooperate to facilitate such redirection during such time period, such as by creating a shared landing page for the Seller Licensed Domains or otherwise directing users to websites for the Business or the Medical Device Business. After such time period, Seller shall have sole control of the home page for the Seller Licensed Domains. Seller shall remain the registrant and administrative and technical contact for the Seller Licensed Domains after the Closing, and each Party shall have exclusive control over the websites of its business linked to such domains during the shared time period.

(ii) Buyer shall cease the use of the Seller Licensed Marks on any packages and labels of the products of the Business (“Business Labels”) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, but in any event before the end of the Sell-Off Period. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Parent hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a nonexclusive, non-assignable, worldwide and royalty-free license, right and privilege to use (A) the Seller Licensed Marks and Seller Licensed Domains for the Sell-Off Period applicable to a particular product of the Business in a particular jurisdiction, solely on any Business Labels used by Buyer and its Affiliates for such product in such jurisdiction; (B) the Seller Licensed Marks and Seller Licensed Domains on the Business Materials for six (6) months after the Closing; and (C) the Seller Licensed Domains as permitted in clause (i) above for 12 months after the Closing.

(b) Solely for purposes of clarity, at the Closing, pursuant to certain of the Bills of Sale, Buyer or its Affiliate is acquiring from Parent or its Affiliates its and their worldwide right, title and interest in the trade name Halyard and all Trademarks and domain names that include the name Halyard (or variations thereof) (collectively, the “Buyer Licensed Marks” and such domain names, the “Buyer Licensed Domains”), including those set forth on Section 5.04(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than six (6) months after the Closing, Parent shall file to change its and its Affiliates’ legal names and Parent’s stock ticker symbol to a name and symbol that does not include the Buyer Licensed Marks or any Trademarks confusingly similar thereto, and shall diligently prosecute such changes until completion. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than the earlier of (A) nine (9) months after the Closing Date and (B) ninety (90) days after the date Parent changes its legal name, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cease to use and remove or cover the Buyer Licensed Marks from all signs, billboards, telephone listings, stationery, office forms or other materials in any media (“Seller Materials”), unless such use is

required by a Governmental Authority during the Registration Transition Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the earlier of (A) nine (9) months after the Closing Date and (B) three (3) months after the date Parent changes its legal name (such earlier date, the “Initial Transition Date”), Parent and its Affiliates may (x) use the Buyer Licensed Marks on the websites for the Medical Device Business that receive redirected traffic from the shared landing pages below for the Buyer Licensed Domains, solely in a manner consistent with past practice and traditional phase-out use; and (y) refer to halyardhealth.com in Parent’s press releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. From the Initial Transition Date until the end of the Name Transition Period, at Parent’s request, Buyer shall display on Buyer’s websites operating under any Buyer Licensed Domains that appear on any Device Materials a redirect to websites using domain names other than the Buyer Licensed Marks, to the extent necessary to enable Parent and its Affiliates to comply with applicable Laws. The Parties shall create a shared landing page for each of the Buyer Licensed Domains or cooperate to otherwise facilitate direction of Internet users to websites for either the Business or the Medical Device Business until the Initial Transition Date, after which time, Buyer shall have sole control of the home pages for the Buyer Licensed Domains. Buyer shall be the registrant and administrative and technical contact for the Buyer Licensed Domains at all times after the Closing, and each Party shall have exclusive control over the websites of its business linked to the shared home pages of the Buyer Licensed Domains until the Initial Transition Date.

(ii) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cease the use of the Buyer Licensed Marks on any packages and labels of products of the Medical Device Business or any other business of Parent or its Affiliates (“Device Materials”) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, but in any event before the end of the Name Transition Period. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Buyer hereby grants to Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, a non-exclusive, non-assignable, worldwide and royalty-free license, right and privilege to use the Buyer Licensed Marks and Buyer Licensed Domains (A) for the Name Transition Period, on any Device Materials distributed as of the Closing Date by Parent and its Subsidiaries, and (B) until the deadline in Section 5.04(b)(i), on the Seller Materials, in each case solely in a manner consistent with past practice and transitional phase-out use.

(c) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that Parent or its Affiliate is the owner of all right, title, and interest in and to the Seller Licensed Marks, and all such right, title, and interest shall remain with Parent and its Affiliates. All rights to Seller Licensed Marks not expressly granted to Buyer or its Affiliates under this Agreement shall remain the exclusive property of Parent and its Affiliates. Buyer shall not (and shall ensure its Affiliates do not) otherwise contest, dispute, or challenge the right, title, and interest of Parent and its Affiliates in and to the Seller Licensed Marks. Buyer shall not (and shall ensure its Affiliates do not) file applications to register any Trademarks or apply for any domain names in any jurisdiction worldwide that are (i) confusingly similar to any of the Seller Licensed Marks or (ii) consist of, in whole or part, any of the Seller Licensed Marks. All goodwill and improved reputation generated by Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ use of the Seller Licensed Marks shall inure to the benefit of Parent. These provisions apply to Parent and its Affiliates with respect to the Buyer Licensed Marks, mutatis mutandis.

(d) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Buyer shall make the necessary filings in the applicable jurisdictions that are required to change the legal name of each of the applicable Transferred Subsidiaries to a name that does not include “Avent” and shall diligently prosecute such filings to completion. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Parent and its Affiliates shall make the necessary filings in the applicable jurisdictions to change the legal name of each of the applicable Asset Sellers to a name that does not include “Safeskin” and shall diligently prosecute such filings to completion.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and its Affiliates may use the Seller Licensed Marks at all times after the Closing in a non-trademark manner (i) as required by Law; (ii) for internal use only, on legal documents and materials; and (iii) to describe the history of the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and its Affiliates may use the Buyer Licensed Marks at all times after the Closing in a non-trademark manner (i) as required by Law; (ii) for internal use only, on legal documents and materials; and (iii) to describe the history of Parent and its Affiliates.

(f) At Buyer’s request, for 180 days after the Closing Date, Parent will display on all websites and social media venues referencing the Business owned or controlled by Parent or its Affiliates a mutually-agreed statement about the transactions contemplated hereby and a link to a website and venue designated by Buyer.

(g) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent and/or Asset Sellers shall make all filings and take all actions that are required to ensure that (i) all Registered Intellectual Property is recorded at the applicable Governmental Authority as exclusively owned by a Transferred Subsidiary, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, in each case as agreed to by the parties and (ii) there are no outstanding chain of title issues with such Registered Intellectual Property, and shall diligently prosecute all of such filings to completion promptly after the Closing Date.

(h) Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agrees that it shall not, during the term of its license herein, directly or indirectly take or permit any actions which will or may dilute the Seller Licensed Marks, tarnish or bring into disrepute the reputation of or goodwill associated with the Seller Licensed Marks or applicable licensor, or which will or may invalidate or jeopardize any registration of the Seller Licensed Marks. Parent (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agrees that it shall not, during the term of its license herein, directly or indirectly take or permit any actions which will or may dilute the Buyer Licensed Marks, tarnish or bring into disrepute the reputation of or goodwill associated with the Buyer Licensed Marks or applicable licensor, or which will or may invalidate or jeopardize any registration of the Buyer Licensed Marks. Each of Parent and Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agrees that the nature and quality of all products and services provided by such party pursuant to its license herein shall conform to the historical standards, quality, style, and image of the licensing party and any reasonable guidelines and standards as are provided in writing from time to time by the licensing party.

(i) Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries), covenants and agrees that none of them will bring or threaten to bring any Action against Buyer or its Affiliates alleging that their current or future operation of the Business infringes any Intellectual Property (other than Trademarks, which are governed by this Section 5.04) that is owned by Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) and used in connection with the Business as of the Closing Date (the “Covenant IP”). Buyer and its

Affiliates may extend the benefit of this covenant to its and their vendors, service providers, distributors, customers and end users in connection with their operation of the Business and may assign this covenant, in whole or in part, to any successors to or acquirers of one or more businesses to which this covenant relates. Any assignee or purchaser of the Covenant IP is automatically bound to this Section 5.04(i).

(a) Subject to Section 5.03, each of Parent and Buyer shall (and each shall cause each of its respective Affiliates to) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and the Contracts and Permits included in the Assets, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers and any other agreements, as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either inside or outside the United States, including to effect the separation of the Business and the Assets from other assets or other businesses of Parent and its Affiliates, including, to the extent practicable, reasonable steps to divide Shared Assets that are divisible.

(b) With respect to each Shared Contract that is an Excluded Asset, Parent shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the counterparty to such Shared Contract to enter into a new contract (a “Stand-Alone Contract”), on the best terms reasonably available, with Buyer or its designee in order for Buyer or its designee to receive the applicable benefits under a Stand-Alone Contract as were provided under the applicable Shared Contract. With respect to each Shared Contract that is a Purchased Asset, Buyer shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the counterparty to such Shared Contract to enter into a Stand-Alone Contract, on the best terms reasonably available, with Parent or its designee in order for Parent or its designee to receive the applicable benefits under a Stand-Alone Contract as were provided under the applicable Shared Contract. The costs of any fees or other payments to the counterparties under such Shared Contracts that may be necessary in connection with entering into any Stand-Alone Contract shall be borne by the party receiving the benefit of such Stand-Alone Contract. For purposes of this Agreement, “Shared Contract” means a Contract between Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third Person, on the other hand, pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Closing Date, both (i) the Business or a Transferred Subsidiary and (ii) the Medical Device Business or Parent or its Affiliate (other than with respect to the Business or a Transferred Subsidiary), received the benefits of tangible or intangible goods and/or services.

(c) To the extent that (i) any Asset Seller’s rights under the Purchased Assets may not be assigned without the consent of another Person (including any Governmental Authority, but excluding Parent and its Affiliates), which consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing, or (ii) the attempted assignment of any Asset Seller’s rights under the Purchased Assets would be ineffective or a violation of any Law or Governmental Order, then this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to transfer or assign the same.

(d) To the extent that any of the transfers, distributions, deliveries and the assumptions required to be made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been so consummated at the Closing pursuant to Section 5.05(c), and subject to the terms of the Ancillary Agreements to the extent addressed thereby, following the Closing (i) Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents to the transfer or assignment thereof (provided that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party without the prior written approval of Buyer to the extent it would be an Assumed Liability) and (ii) the parties shall cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Buyer or its Affiliates would, in compliance with applicable Laws and the terms of any applicable Contract or Governmental Order, obtain the benefits and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Purchased Asset in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Buyer or its Affiliates, or under which Parent would enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of Buyer or its Affiliates any and all of Parent’s or its Affiliates’ rights against a third party (including any Governmental Authority) associated with such Purchased Asset, and Seller and its Affiliates would promptly pay to Buyer or its Affiliates when received all monies received by them under any such Purchased Asset. Upon receiving the requisite third party consent thereto (or if any transfer or assignment would no longer constitute a violation of any applicable Law or the terms of any applicable Contract or Governmental Order), the parties shall for no additional consideration effect the consummation of the transfer of the applicable Purchased Asset as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable, including executing and delivering such further instruments of transfer and taking such other actions as the parties may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or to more effectively transfer to Buyer or confirm Buyer’s right, title to or interest in, the Business and all of the Assets, to put Buyer in actual possession and operating control thereof and to permit Buyer to exercise all rights with respect thereto (including rights under Contracts, Permits and other arrangements as to which the consent of any third party to the transfer thereof shall not have previously been obtained). The provisions of Section 5.05(c) and Section 5.05(d) shall in no way limit the obligation of Parent or the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement to seek such consents prior to the Closing or excuse Parent or any Seller from responsibility for any breach of any of its representations and warranties or covenants hereof. Following the Closing, this Section 5.05(d) shall not apply to consents of third parties required for assignment of the IT Contracts or to provide services under the Transition Services Agreements, which shall be governed by the Transition Services Agreements.

(e) In the event that a party becomes aware that any assets, rights or properties that properly constitute Assets were omitted from any portion of Section 2.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and not transferred to Buyer at the Closing via a Transfer Agreement, then such party shall promptly notify the other parties, and Parent shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary to modify the applicable schedule and to transfer and deliver any and all of such Assets to Buyer without the payment by Buyer of any further consideration therefor. In the event that a party becomes aware that any assets that do not properly constitute Assets were included on any portion of Section 2.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and transferred to Buyer at Closing (including by way of transfer of the Transferred Subsidiaries) via a Transfer Agreement, then such party shall promptly notify the other parties, and Buyer shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary to transfer and deliver any and all of such assets to Parent without the payment by Parent of any further consideration therefor.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, terminate effective as of the Closing all Contracts, written or unwritten, of any kind (other than any Ancillary Agreements or as set forth in Section 5.06 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule), between Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and the Transferred Subsidiaries, on the other hand, subject to the settlement of Liabilities relating thereto pursuant to this Section 5.06. Within five (5) Business Days after the Settlement Date, all intercompany receivables, payables, loans and other Liabilities between Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and a Transferred Subsidiary, on the other hand, shall be paid (other than any Ancillary Agreements or as set forth in Section 5.06 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule) with the result that there will not be any intercompany receivables, payables, loans or other Liabilities between Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and a Transferred Subsidiary, on the other hand, after such payment.

(b) Such payment shall be made in the manner described in Section 2.05(f), except that such payment shall not be considered an adjustment to the Purchase Price for any purpose and shall not be subject to VAT.

SECTION 5.07. Restructuring. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to, distribute or otherwise transfer from the Transferred Subsidiaries to Parent any Excluded Assets, Excluded Liabilities and other assets that are not Assets and take the actions described in Section 5.07 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule for the purposes of transferring to certain Transferred Subsidiaries certain Assets and Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Restructuring”). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 to the contrary, prior to or after the Agreement Date and before the Closing, Parent shall be free to distribute or otherwise transfer from the Transferred Subsidiaries to Parent or any of its Affiliates any Parent Retained Intellectual Property. Parent shall provide Buyer with all documentation relating to the Restructuring no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the execution of any documentation or the consummation of such transfers, and Buyer shall have the right and opportunity to review and consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to all documentation and other matters relating to such transfers.

SECTION 5.08. Books, Records and Files. Subject to Parent counsel’s retention right in Section 2.01(a)(x)(A) and the terms, if any, of the Ancillary Agreements relating to Books, Records and Files, Parent shall deliver all Transferred Books and Records to Buyer or its Affiliates at the Closing or as soon as practicable thereafter, but may redact any information to the extent relating to the Medical Device Business or Excluded Assets from such Books, Records and Files.

SECTION 5.09. Accounts Receivable that are Purchased Assets or Excluded Assets. With respect to all accounts receivable and other items of the Business that are Excluded Assets, following the Closing Buyer agrees to deliver promptly to Parent all cash, checks or other funds or property received directly or indirectly by Buyer or any of its Affiliates with respect to such receivables and other items. With respect to all accounts receivable and other items that are Assets (and are not Excluded Assets), following the Closing Parent agrees to deliver promptly to Buyer all cash, checks or other funds or property received directly or indirectly by Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to such receivables and other items.

SECTION 5.10. No-Shop. Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, and shall cause its and their Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) terminate access by any Person to any physical or electronic data room or other access to data of Parent and its Affiliates, in each case relating to or in connection with, an Acquisition Proposal and (iii) request any such Person and its representatives to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning Parent and its Affiliates relating to, or in connection with, an Acquisition Proposal. Until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, Affiliate, agent, intermediary or representative in his or her official or personal capacity: (a) solicit, initiate or encourage submission of proposals or offers from any Person relating to any sale by Parent or its Affiliates of (x) a material amount of the business or assets of the Business, including the Assets, whether by sale of assets, sale of equity, merger, liquidation or otherwise, or (y) any equity interests in the Sellers (or any Person that is required to be a Seller pursuant to Section 5.19) (an “Acquisition Proposal”); (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, or otherwise respond to, cooperate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to make an Acquisition Proposal; or (c) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. Parent shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of learning of the relevant information) notify Buyer if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing.

(a) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and shall use its reasonable best efforts to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy (or obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer to obtain the Debt Financing, including, as promptly as practicable following the Agreement Date and receipt from Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable, delivering to the Lead Arranger (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter), the documents and information required under the Debt Commitment Letter to commence the marketing period under the Debt Commitment Letter, (iii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “flex” provisions) or on other terms that, in the Buyer’s sole discretion, (A) would otherwise be permitted by Section 5.11(b) and (B) would not reasonably be expected to materially delay or adversely affect, in any material respect, the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing and (v) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter. Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or any ancillary letters referred to therein without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such amendment, modification or waiver (A) adds any new conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Debt Financing or amends, replaces, supplements or modifies any existing

conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, or impede or materially delay the Debt Financing, (B) reduces (or has the effect of reducing) the amount of the Debt Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount in respect of the Debt Financing (except as set forth in any flex provisions existing on the date hereof)) to an amount that, together with other available cash or other funds of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, would on the Closing Date be less than the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (C) could otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay availability of the Debt Financing or (D) materially adversely affects the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter or any Alternative Financing. In the event that the Debt Commitment Letter is amended, replaced, supplemented or Alternative Financing is obtained, Buyer shall comply with its covenants in this Section 5.11(a) and Section 5.11(b) with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented or with respect to the Alternative Financing, if applicable, to the same extent that Buyer would have been obligated to comply with respect to the Debt Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, agents or similar entities who have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof on terms substantially similar to those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter.

(b) In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions described in or contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter for any reason and such portion is reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at or prior to the Closing, Buyer shall promptly notify Parent and Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative financing from alternative sources (“Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient (when taken together with other available cash or other funds of Buyer and its Subsidiaries) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby with terms and conditions no less favorable, taken as a whole, to Buyer (or its Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) and its and their respective Representatives to use reasonable best efforts to provide such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing (provided that such requested cooperation does not (1) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Parent and its Affiliates), (2) require the board of directors of Parent to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other cost or expense (in each case, on or prior to the Closing) that is not reimbursed by Buyer, (3) require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) to take any action that would violate any of their organizational documents or any Laws or would result in a violation or breach by the Parent of any of its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Subsidiaries), or default under, any contract or agreement to which such Person is a party as of the date hereof, or (4) result in any officer or director of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability), including by using reasonable best efforts to: (i) to the extent customary and reasonable, participate in a reasonable number of meetings (including meetings with prospective lenders), presentations, road shows,

drafting sessions and due diligence sessions, including using commercially reasonable best efforts to coordinate direct contact between senior management and the independent auditors of Asset Sellers, the Transferred Subsidiaries and Parent on the one hand, and the actual and potential lenders, on the other hand and sessions with rating agencies, at reasonable times and with reasonable advance notice, (ii) facilitate the pledging of, and perfection of security interests in, the Assets and the Interests, effective no earlier than the Closing Date; provided that the delivery of any original stock certificates and other certificated securities shall be delivered in escrow pending release at the Closing, (iii) furnish to Buyer and its financing sources as promptly as reasonably practicable the Required Information, (iv) update any Required Information provided to Buyer as may be necessary for such Required Information to remain Compliant and update any Required Information as may be necessary so that the Required Information does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact with respect to the Business or omit to state any material fact with respect to the Business necessary to make the statements contained in such Required Information not misleading in any material respect (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time) in light of the circumstances in which they were made, (v) providing upon the reasonable request of the Buyer and/or Debt Financing sources such information reasonably deemed necessary to prepare a confidential information memorandum (including a version that does not include material non-public information) and other customary materials reasonably required to complete the syndication or obtain the “Required Consent” as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter, (vi) providing upon the reasonable request of the Buyer and/or Debt Financing sources assistance in obtaining customary auditor comfort letters and to provide consents for use of such independent auditors’ reports relating to the Business in any customary filings required to be made by Buyer pursuant to the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) where financial information of the Business is included, (vii) assist Buyer in the preparation of (A) customary materials for rating agency and investor presentations (including “roadshow” or investor meeting slides), registration statements, offering memoranda, prospectuses, private placement memoranda (including under Rule 144A under the Securities Act), and other customary marketing materials and (B) definitive documentation for the Debt Financing, (viii) provide customary authorization letters authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors and containing customary representations that the public side versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information about Parent, the Transferred Subsidiaries or their consolidated Subsidiaries or securities, (ix) cause directors and officers of the Transferred Subsidiaries who will continue to hold such offices and positions from and after the Closing Date to execute resolutions or consents of the Transferred Subsidiaries as is otherwise necessary in connection with the Debt Financing, (x) cooperate to facilitate the due diligence efforts of Buyer’s financing sources relating to the Business, to the extent customary and reasonable and not unreasonably interfering with the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, (xi) facilitate the delivery and execution of customary guarantee and other definitive financing documents by the Transferred Subsidiaries, including customary certificates, and facilitating legal opinions and other documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligations contained in such documents shall be effective no earlier than as of the Closing), (xii) facilitate the release of any Encumbrances on the Assets and the Interests and the termination of all guarantees (if any) in connection therewith subject to the occurrence of the Closing and (xiii) provide at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, all documentation and other information as is required

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) none of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries at and following the Closing) shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee or incur any other Liability or obligation in connection with the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing, (ii) no obligation of any Transferred Subsidiary under any document, certificate or instrument executed pursuant to this Section 5.11(c) shall be effective until the Closing, (iii) none of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be required to execute or deliver or have any Liability or obligation under any loan agreement or any related document or any other agreement or document (including any certificates, legal opinions or pledge or security documents) related to the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing, and (iv) other than the Required Information, no financial statements shall be required to be furnished hereunder. Buyer shall promptly, upon request by Parent, reimburse Parent for all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the cooperation of Parent and its Affiliates contemplated by this Section 5.11(c) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the cooperation of Parent and its Affiliates with respect to any offering of debt securities that the Buyer may elect to pursue to finance the transactions contemplated hereby) and shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (or any Alternative Financing) (which shall be deemed to include any offering of debt securities that the Buyer may elect to pursue to finance the transactions contemplated hereby in addition to or lieu of the Debt Financing) and any information used in connection therewith (other than factual information provided in writing by Parent or its Affiliates specifically in connection with its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.11(c)). The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement and shall not be subject to the indemnification requirements in Article X. All non-public or other confidential information provided by Parent or any Seller or its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Buyer will be permitted to disclose such information to any financing sources or prospective financing sources and other financial institutions and investors that may become parties to the Debt Financing and to any underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents in connection with the Debt Financing (and, in each case, to their respective counsel and auditors) so long as such Persons (i) agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if parties thereto or other confidentiality obligations that are substantially similar to those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement or (ii) are subject to customary confidentiality arrangements, or other confidentiality undertakings reasonably satisfactory to Parent and of which Parent is a beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the condition set forth in Section 8.02(a) of this Agreement, as it applies to Parent’s and its affiliates’ obligations under this Section 5.11, shall be deemed satisfied unless (A) Buyer has not obtained the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing on the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and (B) Parent’s material breach of its obligations under this Section 5.11 was a proximate cause of the failure of Buyer to obtain the Debt Financing. Parent hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is reasonable and customary and that is not reasonably likely to harm or disparage Parent or its Subsidiaries in any respect.

(d) Buyer shall give Parent prompt written notice: (i) of any material breach or default by any party to, or any condition not likely to be satisfied in, the Debt Commitment Letter (or any Alternative Financing) or any definitive document related to the Debt Financing of which Buyer becomes aware, (ii) of any termination (or threat of termination) of the Debt Commitment Letter (or commitments for Alternative Financing), (iii) if, for any reason, Buyer believes in good faith that it is reasonably likely that it will not be able to obtain all or any material portion of the Debt Financing in the amounts contemplated by the Financing Agreements (or any Alternative Financing) and that it is not reasonably likely that it will be able to obtain acceptable Alternative Financing. Buyer shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange and consummate the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing). In the event that the Debt Commitment Letter is amended, replaced, supplemented or modified in accordance with this Section 5.11 or Alternative Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 5.11, Buyer shall promptly notify Parent of such event. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing is not a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, including Buyer’s obligations pursuant to Article II.

SECTION 5.12. Bulk Transfer Act. Subject to Article VII, the parties hereby waive compliance with any state or provincial “Bulk Transfer Act” or “Bulk Sales Act,” to the extent applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent and Sellers shall indemnify Buyer for any Losses arising out of the failure to comply with such Laws as an Excluded Liability.

SECTION 5.13. Assignment of NDAs. Parent agrees not to, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Representatives not to, without the prior written consent of Buyer, release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality, non-solicitation or similar agreements between Parent, its Affiliates or its or their Representatives, on the one hand, and any other Person, on the other hand, that were entered into or in connection with or relating to an Acquisition Proposal or that otherwise relate to the Business or the Transferred Subsidiaries. At the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, to the extent assignable in accordance with the terms thereof, assign, grant and convey to Buyer all of the rights under such confidentiality, non-solicitation or similar agreements to the extent related to the Business, including the right to enforce all the terms of such agreements to the extent related to the Business. At Buyer’s request, Parent or its Affiliates will use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce on Buyer’s behalf (with Buyer solely responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith) any such rights that are not assignable. At the Closing, Parent shall deliver to Buyer complete and correct copies of all such agreements.

SECTION 5.14. Insurance. Following the Closing, Parent shall, at Buyer’s request, make a claim for coverage by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates under any occurrence-based third-party liability insurance policy maintained or arranged by Parent, the Transferred Subsidiaries or their Affiliates that provide Parent, the Transferred Subsidiaries or their Affiliates with insurance coverage with respect to claims in respect of loss to any Assets or Assumed Liabilities arising from facts, events or circumstances that occurred at or prior to the Closing to

the extent such coverage is available under such insurance policies; provided, however, that Buyer shall exclusively bear (and neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Buyer for) the amount of any deductibles associated with claims made under such policies. Parent will, and will cause its Affiliates to, take no action to exclude or remove any Assets, Transferred Subsidiaries, Assumed Liabilities or the Business from coverage under any such insurance coverages. Parent and Buyer shall cooperate and use reasonable best efforts in pursuing the collection of all such insurance proceeds in respect of such claims made and each of Parent and Buyer shall provide the other with all reasonably required information necessary for Parent or its Affiliate to make such claims. Any proceeds received by Parent or its Affiliates in respect of any such claim shall be promptly turned over by Parent or such Affiliate to Buyer or the applicable Transferred Subsidiary (calculated net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent or such of its Affiliates in procuring such recovery) and until such time such proceeds will be held by Parent or such of its Affiliates in trust for Buyer or the applicable Transferred Subsidiaries.

(a) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (i) request, induce or attempt to influence any distributor, supplier, licensor or customer of goods or services of the Business to curtail, cancel or refrain from maintaining or increasing the amount or type of business such distributor, supplier, licensor or customer of goods or services is currently transacting, or may be transacting during such three-year period, with the Business or modify its pricing or other terms of sale with the Business or (ii) directly or indirectly engage in any business that competes with the Business in the regions in which the Business operates as of the Agreement Date, or own the equity interests of, manage, operate or control, any Person that engages in a business that competes with the Business (the “Restricted Business”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Persons shall not be required to maintain as confidential any Parent Confidential Information (i) that becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Person or any of their Affiliates or Representatives in breach hereof, or that is required to be disclosed pursuant to the terms of a valid subpoena or any Governmental Order or other requirement of Law; it being agreed that the disclosing party will use its reasonable best efforts to provide reasonable advance notice (to the extent practicable) to Parent and use reasonable best efforts to assist Parent in obtaining an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent possible, and in the event a protective order or other appropriate remedy is not obtained, the disclosing party shall furnish only that portion of such information which, in the opinion of its counsel, it is legally compelled to disclose and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded any such information so disclosed or (ii) that Buyer deems reasonably necessary or advisable to use or disclose in the course of defending or otherwise satisfying the obligations of the Assumed Liabilities; it being agreed that the disclosing party will use its reasonable best efforts to provide reasonable advance notice (to the extent practicable) to Parent and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded any such information so disclosed. “Parent Confidential Information” means all documents, books, records, processes, product developments, customer lists, trade secrets and other information of a confidential or proprietary nature and including written information and information transferred or obtained orally, visually, electronically or by any other means, to the extent relating to the Medical Device Business or any other business of Parent or its Affiliates, the Excluded Assets, or the Excluded Liabilities, in each case that was made known to Buyer or its Affiliates in connection with its consideration of the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the Closing.

(f) It is the intention of the parties that if any restriction or covenant contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform such restriction or covenant to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law. Each of Buyer and Parent acknowledges and agrees that its obligations set forth in this Section 5.15 are an essential element of this Agreement and that, but for the agreement of each of Buyer and Parent in this Section 5.15, the other party would not have entered into this Agreement. Each of Parent and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the undertakings of Buyer and Parent in this Section 5.15 constitute an independent covenant of such party and shall not be affected by the performance or nonperformance by any party hereto of any other term or provision of this Agreement. Each of Parent and Buyer acknowledges that it has consulted with its own counsel with regard to this Section 5.15 and, after such consultation, agrees that the obligations of Buyer and Parent set forth in this Section 5.15 are reasonable and proper, have been negotiated fully and fairly and represent an agreement based on the totality of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) Following the Closing, each of Parent and Buyer shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, preserve and keep all Books, Records and Files and all information relating to the accounting, legal, tax, regulatory, business and financial affairs that are retained by Parent or any of its Affiliates or are obtained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, which information relates to the Business or any Transferred Subsidiary for any pre-Closing period, for not less than six (6) years after the Closing Date, or for any longer period as may be (i) required by Law (including any statute of limitations and applicable extensions thereof) or any Governmental Authority or (ii) reasonably necessary with respect to the prosecution or defense of any audit or Action that is then pending or threatened and with respect to which the requesting party has notified the other parties as to the need to retain such Books, Records and Files or information. Each of Parent and Buyer shall provide the other with written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to it or its Affiliates transferring, destroying or discarding the last copy of any records, books, work papers, reports, correspondence and other similar materials and the other parties shall have the right, at its expense, to copy or take any such materials.

(d) upon such party’s Knowledge thereof, any inaccuracy of such party’s representation or warranty in this Agreement or breach of failure of such party to comply with any covenant hereunder at any time during the term hereof that would reasonably be expected to cause any condition set forth in Article VIII not to be satisfied;

provided, however, that any notification pursuant to this Section 5.20 shall not affect a Party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless the events or occurrences giving rise to such notification would otherwise cause a failure in one of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or give rise to a right of termination pursuant to Article IX.

SECTION 5.21. Business Guarantees. Buyer recognizes that Parent and certain of its Affiliates have provided credit support to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Transferred Subsidiaries pursuant to guarantees, letters of credit, bonds, sureties and other credit support or assurances provided by Parent or its Affiliates in support of any Asset or Assumed Liability (the “Business Guarantees”) and that Parent may enter into additional Business Guarantees after the Agreement Date in the ordinary course of business.

Buyer shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing for any amounts required to be paid under

any Business Guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Section 5.21, references to “Closing” or “Closing Date” in respect of Specified OUS Assets or Specified OUS Liabilities shall instead refer to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the India Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 5.22. India Purchase Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, Buyer shall form a Subsidiary organized under the laws of India (the “Buyer Indian Subsidiary”).

Buyer and Parent agree that determination of the Transition Services will be determined with regard to (i) the reasonable ability of Buyer or Parent and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to provide such Transition Services using their internal resources (to the extent applicable), (ii) the reasonable availability of replacement services (and time and cost

required to secure and implement replacement services), and (iii) any material disruption to Buyer’s or Parent’s respective businesses in providing such Transition Services. Transition Services shall be provided on the basis of Parent’s and its Affiliates’ cost for such services plus a reasonable mark-up to be mutually agreed by Buyer and Parent.

(b) Each of Buyer and Parent shall appoint one individual who shall serve as the contact person for the purpose of negotiating the terms of the Transition Services Agreements and the schedules of services to the Transition Services Agreements, which initial contact persons are set forth on Section 5.25(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule under the heading “TSA Contact Persons”.

(c) To the extent that the Contract Representatives are unable to resolve any of the terms of the Transition Services Agreements, the scope of the Transition Services, duration or pricing within such ten (10) day period, the determination of such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator with relevant experience in transactions comparable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and similar transition services, which arbitration shall be conducted in New York City under the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided that if Buyer and Parent cannot agree on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the end of such ten (10) day period, each of Buyer and Parent shall nominate a single representative with such qualifications within five (5) days of the end of such fifteen (15) day period and those two nominated representatives shall be required, within a further ten (10) day period, to select an arbitrator with such qualifications to preside over the arbitration and make the determination. Such arbitration may occur before or after the Closing, and the Closing would not be delayed in the event of any dispute over the Transition Services, regardless of whether a dispute resolution has commenced; provided, that any such arbitrator would be required to resolve such dispute within a forty-five (45) day period following his or her appointment. In resolving any dispute, the arbitrator shall take into account the parties’ intent regarding the Transition Services set forth in Section 5.25(a) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the dispute between Buyer and Parent pertains to duration, pricing or other issues not impacting the scope of the Transition Services to be provided, then each of Buyer and Parent shall provide the requested Transition Services on and after the Closing Date while such dispute is being resolved pursuant to arbitration at the price previously determined, unless the pricing is in dispute, in which case each of Buyer and Parent shall promptly pay the amount required to be paid by it for such Transition Services for such period once finally determined. Similarly, if the dispute pertains to the scope of the Transition Services to be provided, then while such dispute is being resolved pursuant to arbitration, (i) Parent shall provide all Transition Services that are reasonably required by Buyer and its Affiliates to continue to operate the Business on and after the Closing Date as conducted on the date of this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer shall provide all Transition Services that are reasonably required by Parent and its Affiliates to continue to operate the business of Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Business) on and after the Closing Date as conducted on the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.26. Distribution Agreements and Supply Agreements. Between the Agreement Date and the Closing, Buyer and Parent shall negotiate in good faith the forms of Distribution Agreements and Supply Agreements, which forms of agreements shall include those terms set forth on Section 5.26 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules under the headings “Distribution Agreements” and “Supply Agreements,” respectively. Each of Buyer and Parent shall appoint one individual who shall serve as the contact person for the purpose of negotiating the Distribution Agreements and Supply Agreements. To the extent that the forms of Distribution Agreements and Supply Agreements cannot be determined by a working group of the appropriate persons and such contact persons within sixty (60) days after the Agreement Date, either Parent or Buyer may initiate a process under which the Contract Representatives would meet in person or by telephone to discuss resolution of the discrete points referred to them for a period of ten (10) days in an attempt to reach a joint resolution. To the extent that the Contract Representatives are unable to resolve any of the points referred to them within such ten (10) day period, the determination of such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator with relevant experience in transactions comparable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and similar distribution or supply services, as applicable, which arbitration shall be conducted in New York City under the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided that if Buyer and Parent cannot agree on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the end of such ten (10) day period, each of Buyer and Parent shall nominate a single representative with such qualifications within five (5) days of the end of such fifteen (15) day period and those two nominated representatives shall be required, within a further ten (10) day period, to select an arbitrator with such qualifications to preside over the arbitration and make the determination. Such arbitration may occur before or after the Closing, and, notwithstanding Section 8.02(b) and Section 8.03(b), the Closing would not be delayed in the event of any dispute over final forms of Distribution Agreements and Supply Agreements, regardless of whether a dispute resolution has commenced; provided, that any such arbitrator would be required to resolve such dispute within a forty-five (45) day period following his or her appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the dispute between Buyer and Parent pertains to duration, pricing or other issues not impacting the scope of the Distribution Agreements and Supply Agreements, then each of Buyer and Parent shall provide the requested services or products thereunder on and after the Closing Date while such dispute is being resolved pursuant to arbitration at the price previously determined, unless the pricing is in dispute, in which case each of Buyer and Parent shall promptly pay the amount required to be paid by it for such services or products for such period once finally determined. Similarly, if the dispute pertains to the scope of the distribution services or products to be provided, then while such dispute is being resolved pursuant to arbitration, (i) Parent shall provide all distribution services, and provide all products contemplated to be provided by it pursuant to the Supply Agreements, in a manner consistent with those provided to the Business as of the Agreement Date, and (ii) Buyer shall provide all products contemplated to be provided by it pursuant to the Supply Agreements in a manner consistent with those provided to the other businesses of Parent and its Affiliates as of the Agreement Date.

The provisions of this Article VI shall apply to all employees of the Transferred Subsidiaries and the Business Employees (as defined in Section 6.02(a) below) regardless of the country in which such employees work, unless a country-specific section is contained in Appendix VI, in which case such country-specific section shall apply, in addition to this Article VI, with respect to all employees of the Transferred Subsidiaries and all Business Employees in the applicable country. To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article VI and the provisions of Appendix VI, the provisions of Appendix VI shall govern with respect to employees in the applicable country. Appendix VI is incorporated herein by reference.

(a) For the lesser of (i) a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing and (ii) the period following the Closing until December 31, 2018, with respect to the employees of the Transferred Subsidiaries and the Business Employees not employed by a Transferred Subsidiary who accept employment offers from Buyer or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 6.02(a) or whose employment is automatically transferred to the Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to the Transfer Regulations as set forth in Section 6.02(c), and in each case commences employment on the applicable Transfer Date (together, the “Continuing Employees”), Buyer or its Affiliates shall continue to employ and provide employee benefits, base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, and target cash incentive opportunities, target long-term incentive opportunities and severance to the Continuing Employees that in the aggregate are substantially comparable to the employee benefits, base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, and target cash incentive opportunities, target long-term incentive opportunities and severance provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Date for each such Continuing Employee; provided that Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be obliged to offer continuing participation in any defined benefit retirement plan unless required by the terms of an applicable collective bargaining agreement, the Transfer Regulations or otherwise by Law; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude Buyer or its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any employee at any time on or following the applicable Transfer Date.

(b) For all purposes, including with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates in which any Continuing Employees will participate after the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, recognize all service of the Continuing Employees with Parent or any of its Affiliates (or service credited by Parent or any of its Affiliates), including for vesting and eligibility purposes, but excluding benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan. Buyer shall also give credit to Continuing Employees for their respective amounts of accrued paid time off under Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ paid time off plan, and Buyer will be responsible for all of the obligations for accumulated amounts of the Continuing Employees under Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ paid time off plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such crediting of service shall be required to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits.

(c) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by Buyer in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive (unless prohibited by applicable Law or the terms of the applicable plan) all limitations as to pre-existing conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each such employee to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employee under the welfare plans maintained by Parent and its Affiliates prior to the applicable Transfer Date of such employee (or at the close of any subsequent period during which the benefits of such plan maintained by Parent and its Affiliates are extended to employees of Buyer and its Affiliates after the Closing pursuant to the Transition Services Agreements) and (ii) provide (unless prohibited by applicable Law or by the terms of such welfare plan) each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid under the welfare plans maintained by Parent and its Affiliates prior to the Closing (or at the close of any subsequent period during which the benefits of such plan maintained by Parent and its Affiliates are extended to employees of Buyer and its Affiliates after the Closing pursuant to the Transition Services Agreements) in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan.

(d) Prior to but effective as of the Closing Date, Parent will take such action as it determines may be necessary or appropriate to cause each Transferred Subsidiary to cease to maintain or participate in each Parent Plan. Following the applicable Transfer Date, each Continuing Employee shall be permitted to elect to take distribution (subject to applicable Law) of his or her vested accounts under Parent’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans and, if such Continuing Employees so elect, to roll them over, directly or otherwise, in accordance with applicable Law, to an individual retirement account or to one or more defined contribution retirement plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code established or maintained by Buyer or a Transferred Subsidiary (the “Buyer Defined Contribution Plans”). Buyer and Parent shall reasonably cooperate to facilitate the direct rollover of distributions, including loan balances, due the Continuing Employees to the Buyer Defined Contribution Plans where elected by Continuing Employees.

(a) “Business Employees” shall mean those employees of Parent and its Affiliates set forth on Section 6.02(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. Parent shall provide Buyer with an updated list of all Business Employees transferring at the applicable Transfer Date at least thirty (30) days prior to such Transfer Date, which shall specify each such employee’s name, title, work location, expected date of transfer, wage grade or pay grade, aggregate service dates or other information sufficient to enable Buyer to determine each person’s service credited for each purpose, status as salaried or hourly employee, exempt or non-exempt status, employee’s current status and reason code if employee is inactive, service dates for purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate in any Employee Benefit Plan, and shall also exclude any individual previously listed as a Business Employee whose employment has terminated and include any employee hired to replace any such terminated employee consistent with Section 5.01(a). Each party shall (subject to applicable privacy Law) use reasonable commercial efforts to timely provide the other with all such information as the requesting party may reasonably require to discharge its obligations under this ARTICLE VI. All Business Employees (other

than Business Employees to be transferred at a Delayed Transfer Date) shall be informed by Parent of such proposed transfer as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than the following: (i) by November 8, 2017, (A) all Business Employees of Transferred Subsidiaries, and (B) S&IP Management; (ii) by November 17, 2017, (A) all direct and indirect reports of S&IP Management at the director level and above, (B) Alpharetta-based functional employees, and (C) regional and country leaders; and (iii) by December 1, 2017, all other Business Employees. Each Business Employee to be transferred at a Delayed Transfer Date shall be informed by Parent of such transfer by no later than December 1, 2017. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any information and consultation processes required in accordance with applicable Law have not been completed in any country by the applicable date above, Parent shall notify the relevant Business Employees of the transfer of their employment as soon as reasonably practicable following completion of such process.

(b) At least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable Transfer Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, offer employment, consistent with Buyer’s obligations under Section 6.01(a), immediately following the such Transfer Date to each Business Employee who is not employed by a Transferred Subsidiary (except that with respect to any Inactive Business Employee, any offer of employment shall be made with a commencement date of the date that such employee actively returns to work in accordance with the applicable leave policy within 12 months of the Closing Date and if such Inactive Business Employee does not so return within 12 months, then the offer shall expire and such employee shall not become a Continuing Employee, as long as such expired offer conforms with applicable Law). All such offers of employment shall comply with the provisions of this Article VI to the extent and for the period then applicable and be subject to only such standard employment requirements and forms as Buyer and Parent may mutually approve.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Parent and Buyer shall work in good faith to identify and agree on those Business Employees to whom Transfer Regulations are expected to apply in accordance with applicable local Law as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with applicable local Law. To the extent that Transfer Regulations apply to a Business Employee (an “Automatic Transferring Business Employee”), the parties shall comply with the provisions of Part A (Automatic Transfers) of Appendix VI. In the event that Parent and Buyer agree to proceed on the basis that Transfer Regulations do not apply to any Business Employee in a country identified in Part A (Automatic Transfers) of Appendix VI, the provisions of Section 6.02(b) shall apply to such Business Employee, subject to any applicable Law.

(d) In the event that any person other than a Business Employee claims that the Transfer Regulations operate to transfer such person’s employment to Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have the option to treat such person as if he or she was a Business Employee and employ such person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in which case Parent and its Affiliates shall have no Liability to Buyer and its Affiliates with respect to such claim and such person shall for all other purposes of this Agreement be treated as a Business Employee. If, in the event of such a claim by such a person, Buyer and Affiliates choose not to treat such person as a Business Employee, Parent shall, notwithstanding Section 5.15(b), have the right to offer employment to such person, and Parent shall be responsible for any amounts payable to such person as a result of such claim, so long as Buyer gives written notice to Parent of any such claim (giving so far as practicable an estimate of the amount and details of the claim) within six (6) weeks after becoming aware of such claim.

(e) Following entry into this Agreement, Parent shall and shall cause each Asset Seller and each Transferred Subsidiary to comply with all applicable requirements and obligations to provide any information required under the Transfer Regulations to Buyer and its Affiliates, and to inform, consult or otherwise notify any Continuing Employees or Employee Representatives in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether required pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement, the Transfer Regulations or other applicable Law.

(f) Buyer shall and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with all applicable requirements and obligations to provide any information required under the Transfer Regulations to the Parent, the applicable Asset Seller or its applicable Affiliate, and to inform, consult or otherwise notify the Continuing Employees or Employee Representatives and any of Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ employees or Employee Representatives in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether required pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement, the Transfer Regulations or other applicable Law.

(g) Effective as of the applicable Transfer Date, Buyer shall assume or retain all obligations of Parent and its Affiliates for the accrued unused vacation with respect to Continuing Employees transferring at such Transfer Date, provided that from the applicable Transfer Date through December 31, 2018 such Continuing Employees shall be entitled to use such vacation in accordance with the vacation policy of the applicable Transferred Subsidiary or Asset Seller. To the extent that applicable Law requires that a Business Employee be paid out for any accrued, unused vacation as a result of the termination of such Business Employee’s employment with Parent or one of its Affiliates under this Agreement, Parent shall be responsible for such payments.

(h) Without limiting Section 2.02(b), (i) Parent and its Affiliates shall be solely liable for any claims for welfare benefits that are incurred by or with respect to any Continuing Employee and his or her beneficiaries or dependents under a Parent Plan, and (ii) Buyer shall be solely liable for any claims for welfare benefits that are incurred by or with respect to any Continuing Employee and his or her beneficiaries or dependents under a Subsidiary Plan. For purposes of the foregoing, the following claims and liabilities shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (x) life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, disability or accident giving rise to such benefits; (y) hospital-provided health, dental, prescription drug or other benefits, which become payable with respect to any hospital confinement, upon commencement of such confinement; and (z) medical, dental, and vision, when the services are rendered, the supplies are provided or prescribed medication is acquired by the participant, and not when the condition arose.

(i) In the event that a Business Employee who has received an offer of employment from Buyer or any of its Affiliates that is consistent with Buyer’s obligations under Section 6.01(a) and applicable Law does not become a Continuing Employee or accepts such offer but a severance payment is required by Applicable Law upon termination of employment

with the applicable Seller, and a severance payment is required by Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ severance policies or applicable Law to such Business Employee, Parent shall be responsible for all severance amounts paid or payable to such employee. Subject to Section 6.02(j), to the extent Buyer does not offer employment to a Business Employee that is consistent with Buyer’s obligations under this ARTICLE VI, then Buyer shall be responsible for all amounts payable to such employee.

(j) In the event that any Automatic Transferring Business Employee objects to or refuses the transfer of their employment to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, Parent shall be responsible for all severance and other amounts paid or payable to such employee arising from continuing employment with Parent or its Affiliates or termination of such employment, but excluding any amounts that constitute Employment Related Liabilities deducted from the Purchase Price as Indebtedness.

(k) For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall have no liability or obligation (and Parent shall assume and retain all such liability and obligation) with respect to current or former employees of the Transferred Subsidiaries and Business Employees, in each case who do not become Continuing Employees, provided that Buyer offers employment to such employees consistent with Buyer’s obligations under this ARTICLE VI. Any Employment Related Liabilities in respect of Continuing Employees with a Delayed Transfer Date shall be paid by Parent or its Affiliate to Buyer or its Affiliate within ninety (90) days following the applicable Transfer Date.

(l) Parent shall provide notice and an opportunity to exercise all outstanding equity and equity-based awards of Continuing Employees prior to the Closing (or their respective termination of employment with Parent and its Affiliates, if later), but only to the extent then vested. There shall be no acceleration of any outstanding equity or equity-based awards of Continuing Employees prior to the Closing relating to or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(m) Parent shall, within ninety (90) days following the applicable Transfer Date, pay to each Continuing Employee who remains an employee of Buyer or one its Affiliates through the date on which such payment is made, an amount in cash equal to the intrinsic value (calculated as of immediately prior to such Transfer Date) of that portion of any equity and equity-based awards that (i) Parent and its Affiliates granted to such Continuing Employee in 2015, (ii) remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to such Transfer Date, (iii) originally were scheduled to vest in 2018 pursuant to the terms and conditions of such awards, and (iv) are forfeited, lapsed or otherwise terminated relating to or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “2015 Equity Awards”). Parent shall, within ninety (90) days following the applicable Transfer Date, pay to each Continuing Employee who remains an employee of Buyer or one its Affiliates through the date on which such payment is made, an amount in cash equal to the intrinsic value (calculated as of immediately prior to such Transfer Date) of that portion of any equity and equity-based awards that (i) Parent and its Affiliates granted to such Continuing Employee between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Buyer, (ii) remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to such Transfer Date, and (iii) are forfeited, lapsed or otherwise terminated relating to or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Interim Period Equity Awards”). Prior to the applicable Transfer Date, Parent and Buyer shall work in good faith to identify and agree on the intrinsic value of the 2015 Equity Awards and Interim Period Equity Awards as of immediately prior to the such Transfer Date.

(n) Buyer shall, within ninety (90) days following the applicable Transfer Date, issue to each Continuing Employee transferring at such Transfer Date one or more equity or equity-based awards relating to Buyer common stock that in the aggregate have a grant date value substantially similar to the intrinsic value (calculated as of immediately prior to such Transfer Date) of the equity and equity-based awards, other than the 2015 Equity Awards and Interim Period Equity Awards, that (i) Parent and its Affiliates granted to such Continuing Employee prior to such Transfer Date, (ii) remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to such Transfer Date, and (iii) are forfeited, lapsed or otherwise terminated relating to or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Forfeited Equity Awards”); provided, that the terms and conditions of such replacement awards (including the vesting conditions) need not be the same as the Forfeited Equity Awards, and nothing herein shall preclude Buyer or its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any employee at any time on or following the applicable Transfer Date. Prior to the applicable Transfer Date, Parent and Buyer shall work in good faith to identify and agree on the intrinsic value of the Forfeited Equity Awards as of immediately prior to such Transfer Date, as well as the method of determining the grant date value of the replacement awards issued by Buyer with respect thereto.

(o) Neither Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall take any action without the other party’s consent to induce any Business Employee to reject an offer of employment pursuant to Section 6.01(b) or to object or refuse to the automatic transfer of such person’s employment to Buyer or its Affiliates.

SECTION 6.03. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Article VI shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Article VI, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Article VI, including any rights a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement; provided that Buyer’s Affiliates shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Article VI. Nothing contained in this Article VI, express or implied (a) shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (b) shall alter or limit the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, subject to Section 6.01, or (c) shall create any rights in any employee of Buyer or any of its Affiliates with respect to continued employment for any specified period of any kind or nature whatsoever.

SECTION 7.01. Apportionment. With respect to any Tax Return for any Straddle Period, each party will, to the extent permitted by Law, elect to treat the Closing Date, as the last day of the taxable year or period and will apportion any Taxes arising out of or relating to a Straddle Period to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period based upon a

“closing-of-the-books” immediately prior to the opening of business on the Closing Date. In any case where applicable Law does not permit the parties hereto to treat the Closing Date, as the last day of the taxable year or period, any Taxes arising out of or relating to a Straddle Period or the Purchased Assets will be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period based on a closing of the books consistent with the preceding sentence; provided, however, that real and personal property taxes and similar taxes and taxes based on net worth, capital, intangibles, or similar items, shall be allocated on a per diem basis.

(a) Parent will prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of each Transferred Subsidiary with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the extent such Tax Returns have not been filed prior to the Closing, and Parent will timely pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes shown as due thereon. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing of such Tax Returns, Parent shall provide Buyer with a copy of such draft Tax Returns, shall provide Buyer at least ten (10) days for its review, and shall reflect any reasonable comments of Buyer delivered prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns. Buyer will prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of each Transferred Subsidiary with respect to any Straddle Period to the extent such Tax Returns have not been filed prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer will timely pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes shown as due thereon; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.02 shall affect the rights of Buyer to indemnification under Section 10.02(d). Buyer shall deliver, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for the filing of each such Tax Return for any Straddle Period in the case of income taxes, and at least five (5) days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for the filing of each such Tax Return for any Straddle Period in the case of non-income taxes, to Parent a statement setting forth the amount of Tax for which Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 10.02(d)) and a copy of such proposed Tax Return. Parent shall have the right to review such proposed Tax Return and the statement for at least ten (10) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return. Parent and Buyer agree to consult and resolve in good faith any issue arising as a result of the review of such Tax Return and statement and mutually consent to the filing of such Tax Return. Parent shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, of the Tax shown on the Tax Return for which Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 10.02(d) unless and to the extent that Buyer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 7.02(a) with respect to the preparation and review of a Tax Return adversely affects Parent (for the avoidance of doubt, the amount so payable by Parent shall be determined by taking into account any prior estimated or other payments of the applicable Taxes and any amounts included in the calculation of the Net Working Capital and Indebtedness) no later than one (1) day before the due date (taking into account extensions) of the applicable Tax Return, and any such payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 10.06. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall file any amended Tax Returns for any periods for or in respect of any Transferred Subsidiary with respect to which Parent is obligated to prepare, or cause to be prepared, the original such Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.02(a) or for which Parent has a right of review and consent pursuant to this Section 7.02(a) without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) If a dispute arises following the review of any Tax Return for a Straddle Period by either party pursuant to Section 7.02(a), and such dispute is not resolved by the parties within ten (10) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions of time), such dispute will be settled by an internationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually appointed by the Buyer and Parent (“CPA Firm”), which shall submit its final determination within seven (7) days. The CPA Firm’s determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. Any and all costs arising from, and expenses incurred in connection with, the CPA Firm for its services rendered pursuant to this Section 7.02(b) shall be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, in inverse proportion as each shall prevail on the dollar amounts of such disputed items so submitted to the CPA Firm as provided in this Section 7.02(b). Following the CPA Firm determination, the party responsible for filing the applicable Tax Returns shall file or cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to file those Tax Returns on or prior to the applicable due date. In the event the CPA Firm has not made a final determination by the date that is three (3) days before the date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed (including any available extensions), then the party responsible for filing the Tax Return pursuant to Section 7.02(a) shall timely file it as it shall determine in good faith, taking into account the deliberations to date and Parent shall pay the Buyer or the Taxation Authority, as applicable, the amount that Parent has calculated in good faith to be due and owing by it in accordance with Section 7.02(a). Within five (5) days following resolution of the dispute by the CPA Firm, any amounts determined to be due upon final resolution of the dispute (including interest and penalties with respect to any underpayment of Tax shown on the Tax Return as filed compared to the Tax shown on the Tax Return prepared in accordance with the CPA Firm’s determination), taking into account amounts already paid under this subsection (b), shall be promptly paid by the relevant party to the other party and, where applicable, the party responsible for filing such Tax Returns shall file amended Tax Returns.

(c) Buyer or its Affiliates shall not be permitted to file an amended Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period for any Transferred Subsidiary without the prior written consent of Parent.

SECTION 7.03. Refunds. Parent or one of its Affiliates shall be entitled to retain or, to the extent actually received by or otherwise available to Buyer or its Affiliates, receive prompt payment from Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) of, any refund or any credit with respect to Taxes ((i) including refunds arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date, or otherwise, but (ii) excluding refunds of Taxes withheld from payments to third parties that are required to be paid over to such third parties, any refunds or credits with respect to prepaid Taxes with respect to Employment Related Liabilities taken into account in Indebtedness and any Taxes taken into account in Net Working Capital) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period relating to the Transferred Subsidiaries, Parent or any Asset Sellers, except to the extent that such refund was reflected as an asset in the calculation of Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.05. Buyer shall be entitled to retain or, to the extent actually received by Parent or its Affiliates, receive prompt payment from Parent or any of its Affiliates of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes (including refunds arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing, or otherwise) with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period relating to the Transferred Subsidiaries. Any refunds or credits of Taxes with respect to Straddle Periods shall be apportioned between Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Post-Closing Tax Periods pursuant to the principles set forth in Section 7.01.

SECTION 7.04. Resolution of Tax Controversies. If a claim shall be made by any Taxation Authority that might result in an indemnity payment to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.15 or pursuant to Section 10.02(d), Buyer shall promptly notify Parent of such claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of Buyer in notifying Parent will relieve Parent from any obligation under Section 10.02, except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices Parent. In the event that a Taxation Authority determines a deficiency in any Tax, the party ultimately responsible for such Tax under this Agreement, whether by indemnity or otherwise, shall have authority to determine whether to dispute such deficiency determination and to control the prosecution or settlement of such dispute; provided, however, that with respect to Straddle Periods, Buyer shall control the dispute and Parent shall have the right to consent to any proposed settlement thereof, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The provisions of this Section 7.04 shall be applied in lieu of the provisions of Section 10.05 where applicable.

SECTION 7.05. Tax Cooperation. Each of the parties and their Affiliates shall provide the other party with such information and records and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available as may reasonably be requested by such other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other proceeding that relates to the Transferred Subsidiaries or the Purchased Assets.

SECTION 7.06. Conveyance Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary (except with respect to VAT as provided in Section 7.08), all transfer, documentary, recording, sales, use, registration, stamp and other similar taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes, but excluding any Taxes based on or attributable to income or capital gains) together with any notarial and registry fees and recording costs imposed by any Taxation Authority or other Governmental Authority in connection with the transfer of the Interests and the Purchased Assets hereunder (“Conveyance Taxes”) shall be borne by 50% by Buyer or one of its Affiliates and 50% by Parent or one of its Affiliates (not including a Transferred Subsidiary). To the extent that one party claims any exemptions from any Conveyance Taxes (it being understood that each party shall claim any such exemptions available to it), such party shall provide to the other party the appropriate exemption certificates. The parties and their respective Affiliates will cooperate in timely preparing and filing all Tax Returns and obtaining all exemptions that may be required to comply with Law relating to Conveyance Taxes.

SECTION 7.07. Section 338(h)(10). Each of Buyer and Parent, or their respective Affiliate, agrees to execute any and all documents, forms and Tax Returns required to make an election under section 338(h)(10) of the Code, including Form 8023, with respect to the transfer of an Interest in a Transferred Subsidiary that is a domestic corporation for purposes of the Code and to file such Tax Returns consistent with the Final Allocation.

(a) The amount of any payment for a supply of goods or services or the value of any supply made or deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the transfer of the Purchased Assets will be exclusive of any VAT properly chargeable on the supply, and the amount of the VAT will be borne by Buyer or one of its Affiliates, notwithstanding anything contrary under applicable Law, in addition to any payment due under this Agreement at the time the supply is made. In the event that any VAT is chargeable or imposed upon Parent or one of its Affiliates, Parent or one of its Affiliates will issue a valid VAT invoice that complies with formal and other requirements under applicable Law. Upon receipt thereof, Buyer will, or will cause one of its Affiliates to, promptly remit to Parent or one of its Affiliates the VAT amount specified in such VAT invoice, in addition to the payment for the transfer of the Purchased Assets.

(b) Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Parent that prior to the Closing, each entity (whether Buyer or an Affiliate) acquiring Purchased Assets, or (if relevant) assuming the Assumed Liabilities, the supply of which, but for being outside the scope of VAT as a transfer of a going concern, would for VAT purposes be treated as made in any jurisdiction (the “Relevant Jurisdiction”) will, if required under applicable Law in order for the acquisition to be treated as being outside the scope of VAT as a transfer of a going concern, be registered for VAT in such Relevant Jurisdiction and on or before the Closing, Buyer will provide Parent with the VAT registration number of Buyer or its applicable Affiliate with respect to such Relevant Jurisdiction or other evidence of such valid VAT registration for such Relevant Jurisdiction and shall as soon as is practical after the Closing, provide Parent with a copy of a certificate of VAT registration (if applicable) for each such Buyer or designated Affiliate of Buyer in a Relevant Jurisdiction, valid as at Closing Date. In addition, Buyer shall provide Parent prior to the Closing, with such other information or confirmations as Parent or one of its Affiliates may reasonably request in considering whether the sale of any of the Purchased Assets should properly be characterized as a transfer of a going concern (including confirmation by Buyer or its Affiliates it is intended that the relevant Purchased Assets will be used to carry on the same kind of business as the relevant Asset Seller).

(c) If the transfer of the Purchased Assets fails to qualify, in whole or in part, as a transfer of a going concern and, as a result, VAT is chargeable or imposed upon Parent or one of its Affiliates in respect of the supply of all or any part of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement:

(i) Parent will, or will cause one of its Affiliates to, issue a valid VAT invoice that complies with formal and other requirements under applicable Law and, upon receipt thereof, Buyer will, or will cause one of its Affiliates to, promptly remit to Parent or one of its Affiliates the VAT amount specified in such VAT invoice; and

(ii) if such failure to qualify, in whole or in part, as a transfer of a going concern is solely attributable to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates against any Liability for fines, surcharges, interest and/or penalties in respect of such VAT amount arising to Parent or any of its Affiliates.

(d) In the event that: (i) an amount of VAT is payable under the terms of this Agreement and the consideration as stated on the relevant VAT invoice in respect of such amount of VAT differs from the actual consideration for the relevant supply for VAT purposes (which will include where the Purchase Price is adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, where the allocation of consideration to any Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities is amended

or where no VAT invoice was actually issued), or (ii) where a Taxation Authority determines in writing that a supply by Parent or one of its Affiliates in respect of which Buyer or one of its Affiliates has paid VAT should properly be characterized as a transfer of a going concern, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to correct the respective invoices/VAT returns and make any required payments or repayments of amounts in respect of VAT.

(b) by either Parent or Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred by July 31, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that if on the initial Expiration Date the condition set forth in Section 8.01(b) is not satisfied but all the other conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII are satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to those conditions being capable of being satisfied), then Buyer or Parent may, by providing written notice to the other prior to 5:00 p.m. New York time on such initial Expiration Date, extend the Expiration Date to October 31, 2018 in which case the Expiration Date shall be deemed for all purposes to be such later date; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(b) shall not be available to (i) Parent, if its or any Seller’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the principal cause of, or shall have principally resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date or (ii) Buyer, if its failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the principal cause of, or shall have principally resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(c) by either Parent or Buyer, if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a Governmental Order (that has not been vacated, withdrawn or overturned) permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and such Governmental Order shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall not be available (i) to Parent if it or any Seller has failed to perform its obligations under Section 5.03 or (ii) to Buyer if it has failed to perform its obligations under Section 5.03;

(d) by Buyer, if Parent or any Seller has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement or any such representation or warranty shall have become untrue after the Agreement Date, and such breach or untruth (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.02(a) and (ii) is incapable of being cured by the Expiration Date or, if curable, is not cured within the earlier of (x) twenty (20) Business Days after the giving of written notice by Buyer of such breach or untruth and (y) the Expiration Date (a “Parent Terminating Breach”); provided, however, that Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(d) if there is an uncured Buyer Terminating Breach at the time Buyer seeks to terminate for a Parent Terminating Breach; and

(e) by Parent, if Buyer has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement or any such representation or warranty shall have become untrue after the Agreement Date, and such breach or untruth (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.03(a) and (ii) is incapable of being cured by the Expiration Date or, if curable, is not cured within the earlier of (x) twenty (20) Business Days after the giving of written notice by Parent of such breach or untruth and (y) the Expiration Date (a “Buyer Terminating Breach”); provided, however, that Parent shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(e) if there is an uncured Parent Terminating Breach at the time it seeks to terminate for a Buyer Terminating Breach; provided, further that, if (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, but that would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination), and (B) Buyer fails to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with Section 2.06, such failure shall constitute a Buyer Terminating Breach (provided that the twenty (20) Business Day cure applicable to a Buyer Terminating Breach shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days).

SECTION 9.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement and abandonment of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 9.01, this Agreement shall immediately become null and void and have no effect, without any Liability on the part of any party hereto or its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, Affiliates, debt financing sources (including the Lenders or their respective Representatives or Affiliates) and agents; provided, however, that (i) termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights any party hereto may have under this Agreement against any other party hereto for any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to termination and (ii) the provisions of the last sentence of Section 5.02 (Preservation of Confidentiality Agreement), the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 5.11(c) (Indemnification for Assistance with Debt Financing), and the provisions of Section 5.22 (India Purchase Agreement), this Section 9.02 (Effect of Termination) and Article XI (General Provisions) shall remain in effect. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Willful Breach” means a material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement that is a consequence of an act or failure to act by the breaching party with the knowledge (actual or constructive) that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

(a) The representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement survive the Closing and shall terminate on, and no Indemnifying Party will be liable for any Losses hereunder with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties unless a written notice for indemnification in accordance with Section 10.05 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto prior to, the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing indefinitely, and (ii) the indemnity for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 10.02(d) and the representations and warranties in Section 3.10 and Section 3.15 shall survive the Closing and shall terminate on, and such notice for indemnification must be provided prior to, the sixtieth (60^th) day following the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the underlying matter.

(b) All of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the earlier of the performance of such covenant or agreement or until the termination of the applicable survival period referenced in the following sentence, unless and only to the extent that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance. No claim for a breach of a covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement that (i) by its nature is required to be performed at or prior to the Closing may be made or brought by either Buyer or Parent after the six (6)-month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) by its nature is required to be performed after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Covenants”) may be made or brought by either Buyer or Parent unless notice for indemnification is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to thirty (30) days following the last date on which each such Post-Closing Covenant was required to be performed.

(c) The right to indemnification with respect to any claim for which notice has been properly and timely given in accordance with this Section 10.01 and Section 10.05 shall survive until the resolution of such claim.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligations pursuant to Sections 10.02(c), 10.02(e), 10.03(c) and 10.03(d) represent the parties’ intention to allocate certain Liabilities and are not claims for breach in any respect, thus the parties intend for such provisions to survive indefinitely.

SECTION 10.02. Indemnification by Parent. Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 10.04 below, from and after the Closing, Buyer and its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent and Sellers, jointly and severally, for and against all damages, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments, Taxes and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (hereinafter, “Losses”) if and to the extent arising out of, by reason of or relating to:

(a) the failure of any representation or warranty of Parent or Sellers set forth herein to be true and correct when made;

(b) any failure by Parent to perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant set forth herein;

(d) any liability for Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiaries with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including all liability for Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group of which a Transferred Subsidiary is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local or foreign law, and any Taxes attributable to the Restructuring or the transactions contemplated by Section 5.06(b), except to the extent taken into account in Net Working Capital or Indebtedness (“Indemnified Taxes”);

(e) events occurring on or after the Closing Date arising out of or related to the ownership or operation of the business of Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, which shall not include the Specified OUS Assets or Specified OUS Liabilities until the “Closing” (as defined in the India Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that this Section 10.02(e) shall not apply to, and no indemnification shall be provided pursuant to this ARTICLE X for, Losses arising out of or related to any commercial relationship between Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other, or Losses arising out of or related to the Transition Services Agreements, Supply Agreements or the Distribution Agreements; and

(f) the matters set forth in Section 10.02(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

SECTION 10.03. Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Parent and its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Buyer for and against any and all Losses if and to the extent arising out of, by reason of or relating to:

(a) the failure of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth herein (or in any certificate delivered hereunder) to be true and correct when made;

(b) any failure by Buyer to perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant set forth herein;

(c) events occurring on or after the Closing arising out of or related to the Business (other than (i) the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities and (ii) until the “Closing” (as defined in the India Purchase Agreement), the Specified OUS Assets or Specified OUS Liabilities);

(e) the matters set forth in Section 10.02(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule; and

(f) the portion of any Employment Related Liabilities to the extent not paid when required pursuant to Section 6.02(k);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer be required to indemnify or hold harmless any Parent Indemnified Party with respect to that portion of Losses, to the extent arising out of or resulting from conditions existing or events occurring prior to the Closing, for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is, or in the absence of the limitations set forth in Section 10.04 would be, entitled to indemnification from Parent and the Sellers under this Agreement.

(a) General. None of the parties hereto shall be liable to any other, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary or other similar type of damages whatsoever, including diminution in value, loss of business opportunity or profits, or for any Losses based on a multiple of value, that in any way arise out of or relate to this Agreement, except to the extent a Third Party Claim indemnified under this ARTICLE X includes such damages against the Indemnified Party.

(i) For the purposes of determining whether there has been a failure of a representation or warranty to be true and correct, or the amount of any Loss related to a failure of a representation or warranty to be true and correct, the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.06 or 3.07 or any representation or warranty merely requiring the listing of a material item) shall be read as if they were not qualified by any concept of “material,” “materiality” or “Seller Material Adverse Effect” or a similar qualification.

(ii) The amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any tax benefit actually recognized (determined on a “with and without” basis in the period of the Loss by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the incurrence or payment of the Loss (net of any related expenses or tax costs), and (ii) any amounts, including insurance proceeds, actually recovered by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from any other third Person, net of the costs of recovery. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, benefits and recoveries; provided that no Indemnified Party or its Affiliates shall be required to initiate or engage in any Action in pursuit of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries. If any such benefits or recoveries (including tax benefits) are recognized or actually received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made an indemnity payment to the Indemnified Party with respect such Losses, the Indemnified Party (or such Affiliate) shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount of such benefits or recoveries (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnity payment).

(iii) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates), against any third Person in respect of the Losses to which the payment relates. Such Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) and such Indemnifying Party will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights.

(iv) All Losses under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(v) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X with respect to any Losses to the extent that such Losses are reflected as a decrease to the Purchase Price as a result of the final calculation pursuant to Section 2.05 of Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness or Closing Net Intercompany Payable.

(i) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.02(a) or under Section 10.02(f)(i)(A) or Section 10.02(f)(ii)(A) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (A) for any individual Loss or series of Losses arising from the same facts and circumstances except to the extent that the amount of such Losses exceeds $100,000 (the “De Minimis Threshold”) and (B) unless the amount of the indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 10.02 exceeds $7,100,000 (the “Aggregate Threshold”), at which time rights to indemnification for all such Losses in excess of the Aggregate Threshold may be asserted up to an amount not to exceed $71,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Aggregate Threshold and Cap shall not apply to claims resulting from breaches of the Fundamental Representations or breaches of the representations and warranties in Section 3.15. In no event shall Parent or any Sellers have any liability for indemnification of Losses under Section 10.02(a) in excess of the proceeds actually received by Parent and the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii) The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.03(a) (A) for any individual Loss or series of Losses arising from the same facts and circumstances except to the extent that the amount of such Losses exceeds the De Minimis Threshold and (B) unless the amount of the indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 10.03 exceeds the Aggregate Threshold, at which time rights to indemnification for all such Losses in excess of the Aggregate Threshold may be asserted up to an amount not to exceed the Cap; provided, however, that the Aggregate Threshold and Cap shall not apply to claims resulting from breaches of the Fundamental Representations. In no event shall Buyer have any liability for indemnification of Losses under Section 10.03(a) in excess of the proceeds actually received by Parent and the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Sole Remedy. Subject to Section 10.04(f), following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims against any party or any of their Affiliates arising under, out of, or related to this Agreement shall be the remedies provided in Section 2.05, the rights of indemnification set forth in this Article X, and the rights to specific performance set forth in Section 11.10, and no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, against Parent or Sellers, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the parties to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

(e) Mitigation. Each of the parties hereto agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate its respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses indemnifiable under this Article X; provided, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to impose any obligation or duty to initiate any Actions.

(f) Fraud. None of the limitations contained in this Article X shall apply to claims for intentional fraud solely to the extent embodied in, subject to Section 3.25 and Section 4.11, the express representations and warranties made by Parent or Sellers in Article III or Buyer in Article IV; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit any remedy set forth in any Ancillary Document.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter that an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article X, in accordance with Section 10.05(b), stating the nature and basis of such claim, the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises and copies of all material written evidence relevant thereto.

(b) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim (as defined below) shall be asserted by notice to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date that the Indemnified Party obtains Knowledge of such matter, but in no event after the applicable time periods set forth in Section 10.01(a) and Section 10.01(b); provided, however, that, any failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice of such claim within such sixty (60) day time period shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article X with respect thereto unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. In the event that any Action shall be instituted or that any Action shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 10.02 or Section 10.03 (regardless of the limitations set forth in Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b), 10.04(c), and 10.04(f)) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event after the applicable time periods set forth in Section 10.01(a) and Section 10.01(b), give written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has Knowledge that is covered by this Article X to the Indemnifying Party. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article X with respect thereto unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Subject to this Section 10.05(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim that relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim that relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, it shall within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intent to do so. Until the Indemnifying Party timely elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with a Third Party Claim that relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, or if the Indemnifying Party abandons any such defense, then the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at his, her or its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if

(i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict of interest exists or is likely to exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation reasonably advisable; and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus appropriate local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. The parties agree to cooperate fully in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.05 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (A) settle or compromise, or attempt to settle or compromise, any Third Party Claim or (B) permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment, provided in each case, that the Indemnifying Party may do so if (x) the claimant provides to the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim, (y) the Third Party Claim involves no relief other than monetary damages and (z) the settlement or compromise does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.

(c) If a final decision, judgment or award is rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired (or such decision, judgment or award is non-appealable), or a settlement is consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Third Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall 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) This Section 10.05 shall not apply to indemnity claims in respect of: (i) Indemnified Taxes or (ii) breaches of representations or warranties contained in Section 3.15, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 7.04.

SECTION 10.06. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

SECTION 10.07. INDEMNIFICATION IN CASE OF STRICT LIABILITY OR INDEMNITEE NEGLIGENCE.

SECTION 11.04. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 11.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral (including any offer letter or term sheet), among Parent, the Sellers and Buyer with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. PARENT AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY DISCLAIM, AND BUYER HEREBY AGREES THAT IT IS NOT RELYING AND HAS NOT RELIED UPON (AND THAT NO PERSON SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO), ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES EXCEPT FOR THOSE SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER INFORMATION (OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF SUCH OTHER INFORMATION) PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. IN PARTICULAR, NONE OF PARENT, ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES MAKE OR HAVE MADE ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN RESPECT OF ANY INTERNAL OR PUBLISHED PROJECTIONS, FORECASTS OR REVENUE OR EARNINGS PREDICTIONS FOR THE

BUSINESS. BUYER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY DISCLAIM, AND PARENT AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY AGREE THAT THEY ARE NOT RELYING AND HAVE NOT RELIED UPON (AND THAT NO PERSON SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO), ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES EXCEPT FOR THOSE SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER INFORMATION (OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF SUCH OTHER INFORMATION) PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO PARENT OR ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 11.06. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned without the express prior written consent of Parent and Buyer (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Parent or Buyer), as the case may be; provided, however, that Buyer may, without the consent of Parent, (a) assign its rights and obligations, in whole or in part, under this Agreement to one or more of its controlled Affiliates and (b) assign its rights, in whole or in part, under this Agreement as collateral security to any of its Lenders.

SECTION 11.07. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, Buyer and Parent or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 11.08. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 11.07, Section 9.02, Section 11.09(a), Section 11.12, Section 11.13 and Section 11.19 may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner materially adverse to any Lender or any of its Representatives and Affiliates without the prior written consent of such Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

SECTION 11.08. Waiver. Parent or Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Buyer or Parent and its Affiliates, respectively, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of Buyer or Parent and its Affiliates, respectively, contained herein or in any document delivered thereby pursuant hereto or (c) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements of Buyer or Parent and its Affiliates, respectively, or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of Buyer or Parent to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement, provided, however, that the provisions of Section 5.11(c), Article X, and Sections 11.09(b), and 11.15 shall be enforceable by each Indemnified Party or other third-party beneficiary described in such Sections; provided further, however, that the Lenders and their respective Representatives and Affiliates shall be third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to rely on and enforce, this Section 11.09(a), Section 9.02, Section 11.07, Section 11.12, Section 11.13, and Section 11.19

(b) All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, at law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereby, may be made only against the Persons who are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement. Without limiting the rights of the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter, no Person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, equity holder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement or any Lender or any of their respective Representatives (collectively, “Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any Liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its execution or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each party to this Agreement waives and releases all such Liabilities and claims against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.10. Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement shall be cumulative. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement; accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies available to the parties to this Agreement for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement and an injunction restraining any such party from such breach or threatened breach. Each of the parties hereto herby waives (i) any defense that a remedy at law would be adequate in any action for specific performance and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

SECTION 11.11. Interpretive Rules. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and all Article and Section references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “days” means calendar days unless otherwise specified herein. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require either party or their respective officers, directors, Subsidiaries or Affiliates to take any action that would violate or conflict with any applicable Law. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The meanings given to terms defined herein will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun includes the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all references to “dollars” or “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. References to “foreign,” “outside the United States,” “non-United States” or any similar phrase shall be deemed references to jurisdictions outside of the United States. References to “domestic” shall be deemed references to the United States.

SECTION 11.12. Governing Law. This Agreement and the India Purchase Agreement and all claims and causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the India Purchase Agreement or the negotiation, execution, termination, performance or non-performance of this Agreement, the India Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of or relating to any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or in the India Purchase Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws of the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, actions that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive documentation thereof, or the negotiation, execution or performance of any documentation related thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts thereof. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or, in the event (but only in the event) such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any other court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, in any dispute, claim, cause of action (whether in contract or tort) or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the India Purchase Agreement or the negotiation, execution, termination, performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the India Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of or relating to any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or in the India Purchase Agreement). Each of the parties agrees that, subject to rights with respect to post-trial motions and rights of appeal or other avenues of review, a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the India Purchase Agreement in the Delaware Court of Chancery or any other state court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit or in any other manner provided by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees (on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates) that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Lenders or their Representatives, in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any other letter or agreement related to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof), in any forum other than any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York.

SECTION 11.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE INDIA PURCHASE AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES; THEREFORE, EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTIONS (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT) THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDIA PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, TERMINATION, PERFORMANCE, OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDIA PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INDIA PURCHASE AGREEMENT) OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDIA PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (OR ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE DEBT FINANCING, THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTATION THEREOF, OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO THE DEBT FINANCING, THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTATION THEREOF). THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, SUITS AND PROCEEDINGS THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND CONTEMPLATED BY THE INDIA PURCHASE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO REPRESENTS THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL 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 REPRESENTATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.13.

SECTION 11.14. Exchange Rate. If applicable Law requires that any payment pursuant to this Agreement be made in local currency, the parties shall use the applicable exchange rate published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing.

SECTION 11.15. Waiver of Conflict; Disposition of Attorney-Client Privilege. In any dispute, action or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent and any Seller shall have the right, at their election, to retain the firms of Alston & Bird LLP or Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP to represent them in such matter, and Buyer, for itself and for its successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives, and shall cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to waive, any objection and consent to any

such representation in any such matter, even if such representation is directly adverse to the interests of Buyer or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries and even if Alston & Bird LLP or Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP represented any of the Transferred Subsidiaries in a matter directly related to such dispute, action or proceeding. Buyer acknowledges, on behalf of itself and the Transferred Subsidiaries, that the foregoing provision shall apply regardless of whether Alston & Bird LLP or Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP provides legal services to any Transferred Subsidiaries after the Closing. Buyer, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications among Parent, Sellers, (prior to the Closing) the Transferred Subsidiaries and their counsel, including Alston & Bird LLP or Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute, action or proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing (the “Transaction Representation”), are privileged communications among Parent, Sellers, the Transferred Subsidiaries and such counsel and after the Closing, the privilege shall remain within the exclusive control of Parent and Sellers. Further, Buyer, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications among Parent, Sellers, the Transferred Subsidiaries and their counsel, including Alston & Bird LLP or Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP, made in connection with Excluded Liabilities (together with the Transaction Representation solely with respect to pre-Closing communications, the “Pre-Closing Representation”) are privileged communications among Parent, Sellers, the Transferred Subsidiaries and such counsel and after the Closing, the privilege shall remain within the exclusive control of Parent and Sellers. Neither Buyer, any of the Transferred Subsidiaries, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries, will seek to obtain the same by any process. In addition, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all of Parent’s, Sellers’, and Transferred Subsidiaries’ privileged records and the privilege rights and rights in the privileged information related to such transactions will become property of (and be controlled by) Parent and Sellers, and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall not retain any copies of such records or have any access to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, the Transferred Subsidiaries or their then-Affiliates following the Closing, on the one hand, and a third party other than Parent and any of its then-Affiliates (solely in their capacity as former direct or indirect equityholders of the Transferred Subsidiaries or former direct or indirect owners of Assets or the Assumed Liabilities), on the other hand, Buyer, the Transferred Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Pre-Closing Representation to such third party and (y) subject to and without waiver of the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that any pre-Closing attorney-client privilege and other privilege or immunity attaching to any communication, advice or materials pertaining to the Transferred Subsidiaries, the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities that would be relevant to Buyer after the Closing, but not related to the Pre-Closing Representation, belongs to and shall be controlled by Buyer. Each of Alston & Bird LLP and Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP is an intended beneficiary of this Section 11.15 and is entitled to enforce such provision.

SECTION 11.16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any one of which may be delivered by facsimile or scanned electronic or e-mail transmission.

SECTION 11.17. Conflict Between Transaction Agreements. The parties agree that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or conflict with any term, condition or provision of any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement will govern and control.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, Parent, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, successors, heirs and executors (each, a “Parent Releasor”), hereby irrevocably, knowingly and voluntarily releases, discharges and forever waives and relinquishes all actions, causes of action, suits, damages, judgments, claims and demands of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any Parent Releasor has, may have, or might have or may assert now or in the future, against the Assets or the Transferred Subsidiaries and its successors, assigns, heirs, executors, officers, directors and employees (in each case in their capacity as such) (each, a “Parent Releasee”), arising out of or resulting from any transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act, or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted, or begun prior to the Closing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 11.18(a) shall release, waive, discharge or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any party arising under or resulting from this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or any commercial agreement entered into in the ordinary course of the business of a party. Parent shall, and shall cause each Parent Releasor, to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any legal proceeding of any kind against any Parent Releasee based upon any matter released pursuant to this Section 11.18(a).

Each Transferred Subsidiary shall, and shall cause each Buyer Releasor, as applicable, to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any legal proceeding of any kind against any Buyer Releasee based upon any matter released pursuant to this Section 11.18(b).

SECTION 11.19. Lender Recourse Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and without limiting the rights of Buyer or its Affiliates under the Debt Commitment Letter or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing, each of the parties hereto agrees that (a) Parent, Sellers, the Transferred Subsidiaries, the Asset Sellers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members and equityholders (i) shall not have any rights or claims against any of the Lenders or their Representatives or Affiliates, in any way relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, any Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or in respect of any oral or written representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and (ii) shall not commence any action or proceeding against any of the Lenders or their Representatives or Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, any Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or in respect of any oral or written representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, and (b) no Lender or any of its Representatives or Affiliates shall have any liability (whether in contract, in tort or otherwise) to any of Parent, Sellers, the Transferred Subsidiaries, the Asset Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members or equityholders for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral or written representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.
