Other Events. Imation Corp. ("Imation" or the "Company") announced on August 3, 1998 that it has executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak") for Kodak to acquire (the "Transaction") Imation's worldwide medical imaging businesses. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Kodak will pay Imation approximately $500 million in cash at closing and will acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of Imation's medical imaging business, including Imation's manufacturing facilities in White City, Oregon and Oakdale, Minn., and all the outstanding shares of Cemax-Icon, Inc., a subsidiary of Imation ("Cemax-Icon"). Kodak will also reimburse Imation for Imation's payment of up to $44.8 million to the former shareholders of Cemax-Icon for certain contingent value rights issued to such shareholders in Imation's acquisition of Cemax-Icon. The actual amount that will be paid to the former shareholders will be determined by the revenue performance of Cemax- Icon during the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999. Kodak will acquire net assets with a book value of approximately $280 million that generate approximately $500 million in revenue annually. Approximately 1,600 Imation employees worldwide will transfer to Kodak. Imation will retain its manufacturing facility in Ferrania, Italy, where the Company will manufacture x-ray and wet laser medical imaging film for Kodak under a supply agreement (the "Ferrania Supply Agreement") for a minimum of two years. In connection with the Ferrania Supply Agreement, Kodak will pay Imation $20 million in cash at closing. Kodak is also obligated to make an additional cash payment to Imation of $25 million no later than the date of termination of the Ferrania Supply Agreement. That payment is subject to adjustment in the event the Ferrania facility is sold by Imation within five years following closing of the Transaction, as more completely described in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto. Under a separate supply agreement, Kodak will supply document imaging products to Imation out of its White City, Oregon manufacturing facility for up to five years. Imation management currently believes that the Company will have an after-tax gain upon closing the Transaction of approximately $75-80 million, net of estimated Transaction costs. The Company will use the sale proceeds in three areas, as appropriate: to support investments in Imation's core growth opportunity areas, to repay debt and to buy back the Company's stock. The Company currently has outstanding authorization for the repurchase of up to 3.5 million shares of common stock and has approximately 39 million shares outstanding. In addition, upon closing of the Transaction, or if the Transaction does not close due to the failure to receive applicable antitrust approvals, the civil litigation between Imation and Kodak and Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Company ("3M") and their respective subsidiaries relating to the alleged disclosure to Imation and 3M of Kodak trade secrets by Harold Worden, a former employee of Kodak, will be settled in the United States and Italy. At the same time, the related civil litigation between Kodak and 3M will also be settled. Principal products included in Imation's medical imaging businesses are: DryViewTM laser imaging systems, Imation wet laser imagers, Imation chest system, Imation Trimax x-ray films, conventional x-ray film processing systems, Imation wet laser films, and Cemax-Icon digital picture-archiving and communication systems (PACS) products. In addition to the medical imaging assets, Kodak will also acquire rights to Imation's DryViewTM Imagesetting Film business in the graphic arts industry. Consummation of the Transaction is subject to expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, receipt of other applicable non-U.S. antitrust approvals and certain other customary closing conditions. The Transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 1999. The Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated by reference herein. The press release issued by Imation on August 3, 1998 with respect to the Transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I Purchase and Sale; Ferrania Facility Payment SECTION 1.01. Purchase and Sale of Acquired Assets. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller and Seller Subs shall sell, assign, transfer, convey, license and lease to Purchaser and/or one or more Purchaser Buyers, as designated by Purchaser in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 1.05, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause any Purchaser Buyers so designated to, purchase, license, lease and assume from Seller and Seller Subs all the right, title and interest, as of the Closing, of Seller and Seller Subs in, to and under the Acquired Assets, for (i) an aggregate purchase price equal to the sum of (x) $499,300,000 (the "Closing Date Purchase Price"), payable as set forth in Section 2.02, and (y) an amount equal to the sum of the amount of the 1998 Payment and the 1999 Payment (as each such term is defined in the Cemax-Icon Merger Agreement), (collectively, the "Cemax-Icon Payments"), payable as set forth in Section 2.03 (the Closing Date Purchase Price and the Cemax-Icon Payments are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the "Purchase Price"), and (ii) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. The purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities is referred to in this Agreement as the "Acquisition". (b) Ferrania Facility Payment. Upon termination of the X-ray/Wet Laser Supply Agreement, if Seller has not prior to that date sold or otherwise transferred the Ferrania Facility, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to $25,000,000. If Seller sells or otherwise transfers the Ferrania Facility prior to the termination of the X-ray/Wet Laser Supply Agreement then (i) in the event that Seller shall have received from such sale or other transfer less than $25,000,000 in Net Proceeds, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, at the time of consummation of such sale or other transfer, payment in an amount equal to the difference between $25,000,000 and the Net Proceeds received by Seller and (ii) in the event that Seller shall have received from such sale or other transfer more than $25,000,000 in Net Proceeds, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, at the time of consummation of such sale or other transfer, payment in an amount equal to 50% of the difference between the Net Proceeds received by Seller and $25,000,000. If Seller sells or otherwise transfers the Ferrania Facility after termination of the X-ray/Wet Laser Supply Agreement but before the fifth anniversary of the Closing and Purchaser shall have made to Seller the $25,000,000 payment referred to in the first sentence of this Section 1.01(b), then (i) in the event that Seller shall have received from such sale or other transfer less than $25,000,000 in Net Proceeds, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, at the time of consummation of such sale or other transfer, payment in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds and (ii) in the event that Seller shall have received from such sale or other transfer more than $25,000,000 in Net Proceeds, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, at the time of consummation of such sale or other transfer, payment in an amount equal to the sum of $25,000,000 and 50% of the difference between the Net Proceeds received by Seller and $25,000,000. Any payment required to be made under this Section 1.01(b) shall be referred to as a "Ferrania Facility Payment". For purposes of this Section 1.01(b), "Net Proceeds" means the gross value of all consideration received by Seller and its subsidiaries for the sale or other transfer of the Ferrania Facility (whether such value is paid directly with respect to the sale of the Ferrania Facility or indirectly through other payments from the Purchaser to the Seller or any of its subsidiaries) less the sum of (i) the fees, expenses and out-of-pocket disbursements of outside advisors and experts paid by Seller and its subsidiaries, (ii) ordinary closing costs and fees (including filing, registration and similar fees) paid by Seller and its subsidiaries and (iii) any transaction- related Taxes (other than income Taxes and other than any interest, penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts due with respect to the underlying Taxes) paid by Seller and its subsidiaries. In calculating any U.S. Dollar amount for purposes of this Section 1.01(b), all non-U.S. currency values shall be converted to U.S. Dollar values at the rate of exchange for foreign currencies per U.S. Dollar on the date of consummation of sale or other transfer, as reported in the Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition). For purposes of the calculation of Net Proceeds, Seller shall, within a reasonable time (but not later than 30 days) following execution of any agreement for the sale or other transfer of the Ferrania Facility, disclose to Purchaser the gross value of all consideration to be received by Seller and its subsidiaries for the sale or other transfer of the Ferrania Facility and all other material economic terms of all agreements entered into contemporaneously therewith between Seller and the purchaser of the Ferrania Facility; provided that Seller and its subsidiaries may elect, for any valid reason, not to disclose the material economic terms of all such agreements, and in such event Purchaser shall appoint an independent third party, reasonably acceptable to Seller, to which Seller shall disclose, subject to a confidentiality agreement acceptable to Seller, all other material economic terms; provided, however, that such independent third party's review shall be limited to reviewing all such documents and information as are reasonably necessary to verify the calculation of the amount of Net Proceeds and disclosing to Purchaser Net Proceeds. Seller also shall provide Purchaser with reasonably detailed documentation supporting the fees, costs, expenses, disbursements and Taxes required to be taken into account in computing Net Proceeds.

SECTION 1.03. Assumption of Certain Liabilities.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not assume or be responsible for, and Seller or the respective Seller Sub shall retain and be responsible for, the following liabilities of Seller and Seller Subs (the "Excluded Liabilities"): (i) any liability of Seller or any Seller Sub, arising out of the operation or conduct by Seller or any of its affiliates of any business other than the Businesses; (ii) any liability of Seller or any Seller Sub that relates to, or that arises out of, any Excluded Asset; (iii) any liability for Excluded Taxes; (iv) any Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities; (v) any liability related to the Transferred Employees that is specifically retained by Seller or any Seller Sub pursuant to Section 6.09; (vi) all liabilities to any employees of Seller or any Seller Sub (other than Cemax-Icon) other than (x) Transferred Employees or (y) Eligible Employees with respect to liabilities arising from Purchaser's breach of Section 6.09; (vii) all liabilities to employees of Seller or any Seller Sub with respect to options to acquire the common stock of Seller or any Seller Sub; (viii) all liabilities (a) under any Benefit Plan (other than those of Cemax-Icon), whether arising from violation of any Law or otherwise, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or this Agreement; or (b) for collection of COBRA premiums or compliance with COBRA notice requirements for any Transferred Employee (other than those of Cemax-Icon) who does not accept employment with Purchaser; (ix) other than with respect to employees or former employees of Cemax-Icon, any claims by any employee of Seller or any Seller Sub for benefits incurred (as defined in Section 6.09) before the Closing Date; (x) any indebtedness (whether as obligor, guarantor or otherwise) to third parties for borrowed money (other than accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), whether or not Related to the Businesses, other than any indebtedness described under items 1 and 2 of clause (a)(ix)(B) of Schedule 3.08; (xi) any direct cost or expense incurred before or after the Closing Date to the extent arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any of the following actions but only to the extent such actions take place prior to the Closing: (A) any restructuring of Seller or any of its subsidiaries (whether corporate-wide or with respect to European operations, Ferrania operations, Cemax-Icon or otherwise); (B) any termination of any European distributors; and (C) termination of the dry imagesetting program; (xii) any direct cost or expense arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any of the following: (A) closure of the Florida Facility; (B) subject to Section 1.01(b), sale or transfer of the Ferrania Facility; and (C) the relocation described in Section 6.20; (xiii) any direct cost or expense arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with the termination of the Consulting Agreement dated January 14, 1997, as amended, between Seller and Itasca Ventures, LLC; (xiv) any liability for checks drawn on bank accounts of Seller and its subsidiaries, in each case that have been issued but not cleared as of the Closing Date; (xv) any liability under Seller's Success Sharing Plan for Transferred Employees to the extent (A) attributable to the corporate performance component of such Plan and (B) incurred, arising or relating to services performed prior to the Closing; (xvi) any liability to Seller or any Seller Sub, including liabilities of Cemax-Icon payable to Seller or any Seller Sub, except in any case liabilities incurred, arising or relating to goods or services sold or provided by Seller or any Seller Sub to the Businesses in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (xvii) other than with respect to employees of Cemax- Icon on the Closing Date, any worker's compensation liability with respect to any actual or alleged work- related injury, disease or illness to any employee or former employee which is determined to have occurred prior to the Closing Date; and (xviii) any liability of Seller or any Seller Sub identified on Schedule 1.03(b)(xviii). SECTION 1.04. Nonassignability of Assets. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, assign, transfer, convey, license or lease any asset if such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, license or lease is prohibited by any applicable Law or would require the Consent of any Governmental Entity or other person and such Consent is not obtained prior to Closing, the Closing shall proceed without the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, license or lease of such asset; provided, however, if such failure causes a failure of any of the conditions to the Purchaser's obligations as set forth in Section 7.02(d), the Closing shall proceed only if Purchaser shall waive such condition, in its sole discretion. In the event that the Closing proceeds without the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, license or lease of any such asset, then following the Closing, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain promptly such Consents; provided, however, that none of Seller, the Seller Subs, Cemax-Icon, Purchaser or any Purchaser Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration for such Consent other than filing, recordation or similar fees which, except as expressly provided in Section 10.04 of this Agreement or Section 3.2 or 10.3 of the Seller Intellectual Property Agreement, shall be paid by the party who is required by applicable Law or course of dealing to do so. Pending receipt of such Consent, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Purchaser or the Purchaser Buyers, as the case may be, the benefits of use of such asset and to Seller or the Seller Subs the benefits, including any indemnities, that they would have obtained had the asset been conveyed to Purchaser or the Purchaser Buyers, as the case may be, at the Closing. Once Consent for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, license or lease of any such asset not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, licensed or leased at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall or shall cause a Seller Sub to sell, assign, transfer, convey, license and lease such asset to Purchaser or the Purchaser Buyers, as the case may be, at no additional cost to Purchaser or the Purchaser Buyers (subject, however, to Section 1.05). To the extent that any such asset cannot be provided to Purchaser or the Purchaser Buyers, as the case may be, following the Closing pursuant to this Section 1.04, the Purchaser and Seller shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of obtaining such Consent and the performance by Purchaser or the Purchaser Buyers, as the case may be, of the obligations thereunder. Seller and the Seller Subs shall hold in trust for and pay to Purchaser or the Purchaser Buyers, as the case may be, promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller or any Seller Subs in connection with its use of any asset (net of the net Tax and any other costs imposed upon Seller or any Seller Subs) in connection with the arrangements under this Section 1.04 and Purchaser and the Purchaser Buyers shall indemnify Seller and Seller Subs for (i) the net Tax and any other costs imposed upon Seller and Seller Subs in connection with its use of any such asset. SECTION 1.05. Additional Acquisitions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser may elect to have any or all of the Acquired Assets transferred, assigned, conveyed, licensed and leased to, or any of the Assumed Liabilities assumed by, one or more of the Purchaser Buyers; provided, however, that no such election shall result in any net greater cost or obligation (including net greater costs arising from (i) exchange risks and transfer restrictions on the movement of funds imposed by countries in which particular Purchaser Buyers are domiciled and (ii) the imposition of any additional Taxes) than Seller or any of the Seller Subs would otherwise have had such assets or liabilities been transferred to Purchaser or to a Purchaser Buyer domiciled within the jurisdiction in which such assets or liabilities are located, whichever is greater; provided, further, however, that no such election shall relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations to Seller and its affiliates hereunder with respect to the Assumed Liabilities or otherwise. (b) Subject to Section 1.05(a), if mutually agreed by Seller and Purchaser, any transfer made pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) may be effected pursuant to separate Local Asset Purchase Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Local Asset Purchase Agreement is to be executed in any country where notification of or consultation with a works council or similar entity is required, then such Local Asset Purchase Agreement shall not become binding upon the parties until such time as such notification or consultation is completed. SECTION 1.06. Closing Working Capital. (a)(i) Except with the express prior written consent of Purchaser and other than as set forth on Schedule 6.01, Seller agrees that, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, it will, and will cause the Seller Subs and Cemax-Icon to, conduct the Businesses in accordance with Seller's ordinary course of business consistent with past practice with respect to the components of Working Capital, including those practices relating to (A) collection of trade receivables (it being understood that none of Seller, any Seller Sub or Cemax-Icon shall factor, sell or engage in any similar practice with respect to trade receivables), (B) payment of trade accounts payables, (C) terms of sale, including price, discounts, rebates, equipment loans, allowances and warranties (except in accordance with current industry practice or in response to changes in market prices or other terms of sale offered by competitors of Seller), (D) return, credit or trade practices and (E) inventory levels. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1.06(a) shall not be deemed to have been breached by Seller, any Seller Sub or Cemax-Icon because of any of the actions or conduct set forth in Schedule 1.06. (iii) The term "Working Capital" means (A) the sum of (1) all trade Receivables (net of allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and allowances, cash discounts, and sales rebates) and (2) all Inventories (other than raw materials, work-in-process and supplies located at the Ferrania Facility) minus (B) all trade accounts payable, in each case of the Businesses. (b) If it is determined pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 1.06 that Seller shall not have complied with Section 1.06(a) in one or more instances (whether such failure to comply results in an increase or a decrease in Working Capital) and that the net impact of all such failures to comply, taken as a whole, results in a net reduction in the amount of Working Capital transferred to Purchaser as of the Closing (the amount of such net reduction, to the extent resulting from such failures to comply, a "Working Capital Shortfall"), Seller shall, within 30 days following the date the amount of the Working Capital Shortfall, if any, shall become final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.06(e), pay to the Purchaser the total amount of such Working Capital Shortfall, if any, in immediately available funds, plus interest on such net amount at LIBOR from the Closing Date to the date of payment. (c) Within 60 days after the Closing Date (the "Initial 60-Day Period"), Purchaser may give written notice to Seller (the "Working Capital Election Notice") of Purchaser's intent to conduct an in-depth investigation to determine whether Seller has complied with Section 1.06(a). If Purchaser does not deliver a Working Capital Election Notice within the Initial 60-Day Period, Seller shall have no liability under this Section 1.06. If Purchaser delivers a Working Capital Election Notice within the Initial 60-Day Period, Purchaser shall complete its investigation within 90 days following expiration of the Initial 60-Day Period. In connection with Purchaser's right under this Section 1.06, Purchaser and its independent public accountants will be permitted to review the accounting records of the Seller and such additional financial information as Purchaser or Purchaser's independent public accountants shall reasonably request for the purpose of determining whether Seller has complied with Section 1.06(a). In connection with any such investigation, Seller and Purchaser and their respective independent public accountants shall cooperate with each other. (d) If during the 90-day period following the Initial 60-Day Period (the "Investigation Period") Purchaser determines that it has reason to believe that Seller did not comply with Section 1.06(a), Purchaser may give Seller a written notice to such effect at any time prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period (the "Notice of Working Capital Breach"). If such Notice of Working Capital Breach is not delivered to Seller prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, Seller will not have any liability under this Section 1.06. The Notice of Working Capital Breach shall (i) include a statement (the "Statement") setting forth the Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP on a basis consistent with the Seller Financial Statements, (ii) specify in reasonable detail the basis for the Purchaser's belief that the Seller has failed to comply with Section 1.06(a), (iii) specify the Working Capital Shortfall, including a reasonably detailed calculation thereof, and (iv) specify in reasonable detail the basis for the Purchaser's belief that the Working Capital Shortfall resulted from the Seller's breach of Section 1.06(a). The Notice of Working Capital Breach shall be accompanied by a report of Purchaser's independent public accountants, without exception or qualification, to the effect that (x) the Statement has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.06, and (y) it concurs with each of the positions taken by Purchaser in the Notice of Working Capital Breach, provided that it is understood and agreed that this provision shall not be deemed or construed to require Purchaser's independent public accountants to audit the Statement. (e) During the 90-day period following Seller's receipt of the Notice of Working Capital Breach, Seller and its independent public accountants shall be permitted to review the working papers of Purchaser and Purchaser's independent public accountants relating to the Notice of Working Capital Breach and any other information reasonably requested by Seller or Seller's independent public accountants. The amount of the Working Capital Shortfall shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 90th day following delivery thereof, unless Seller gives written notice of its disagreement with the Notice of Working Capital Breach (a "Notice of Disagreement") to Purchaser prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and, to the extent practicable, the adjustments to the amount of the Working Capital Shortfall which Seller believes should be made. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser in a timely manner, then the amount of the Working Capital Shortfall (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser on the earlier of (A) the date Seller and Purchaser resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the 60-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 60-day period, Seller and Purchaser shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm") for arbitration any and all matters that remain in dispute and were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Accounting Firm shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto in writing. Seller and Purchaser shall agree to use reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within 30 days following submission. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the parties) pursuant to this Section 1.06 shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of Seller's independent public accountants incurred in connection with their review of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Seller, and the fees and disbursements of Purchaser's independent public accountants incurred in connection with their certification of the Statement and review of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Purchaser. (f) Following the Closing, Purchaser shall take no actions with respect to the accounting books and records of the Businesses for the period on or prior to the Closing Date on which the Notice of Working Capital Breach is to be based that would obstruct or prevent the preparation of the Notice of Disagreement and the determination of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date. ARTICLE II The Closing; Post-Closing Payments SECTION 2.01. Closing Date. The closing of the Acquisition (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, 825 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10019, at 10:00 a.m. on the second business day following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted, the waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, or, if on such day any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or 7.03 has not been satisfied (or, to the extent permitted, waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof), as soon as practicable after all the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied (or, to the extent permitted, waived by the parties entitled to the benefits thereof), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed between Seller and Purchaser.

Each of Purchaser and Seller shall furnish to the other such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing, submission or other act that is necessary or advisable under the HSR Act and the relevant Non-U.S. Competition Laws. Seller and Purchaser shall keep each other timely apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ and the relevant non-U.S. antitrust or competition authorities, and shall comply promptly with any such inquiry or request. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall use its best efforts to obtain any clearance under the HSR Act and the relevant Non-U.S. Competition Laws required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Section 6.05, the "best efforts" of Purchaser shall include Purchaser's agreement to litigate any motion for a preliminary injunction until such motion shall have been granted or denied by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that Purchaser shall not be required (i) to pay any amounts of money to third parties to secure any such clearance (other than costs incurred in connection with the prosecution of any such litigation and the payment of any filing, application, registration, notarial and similar fees and related expenses) or (ii) to agree to any request or requirement of any Governmental Entity, whether involving the Businesses or the Acquired Assets or Purchaser's other assets or businesses, if such payment or compliance with any such request or requirement, individually or in the aggregate, would impair or diminish the economic value of the Businesses or the Acquired Assets and/or of Purchaser, individually or in the aggregate, in an amount greater than or equal to an amount that would constitute a material impairment or diminution of the economic value of the Businesses in the aggregate (collectively, a "Material Impairment"). SECTION 6.06. Best Efforts. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each party shall cooperate and use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, appropriate or advisable under Law to cause the Closing to occur, as promptly as practicable, including taking all reasonable actions necessary to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on it or any of its affiliates with respect to the Closing. (b) Prior to the Closing each party shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, cooperate and use its best efforts (at its own expense) to take all actions necessary, appropriate or advisable to secure, as promptly as practicable, and use (i) its best efforts to obtain Consents listed on Schedule 7.02(d) and (ii) its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consents listed on Schedules 3.03(a) and 3.03(b) and all other Consents from Governmental Entities and other persons necessary, appropriate or advisable to permit the transfer of the Acquired Assets to, and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by, Purchaser. For purposes of this Section 6.06(b), Seller shall be deemed to have used "commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Consents" if it shall have complied with the procedures set forth in Schedule 6.06(b). (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.06(a) or (b), (i) neither party shall be required to make any payment (other than de minimis filing, application, registration, notarial and similar fees and related expenses), grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) or initiate or defend any litigation in connection with such best efforts, and (ii) Seller shall notify Purchaser as promptly as practicable if, after use of such best efforts, Seller fails to obtain any Consent listed in Schedule 3.03(a) or (b) or 7.02(d) and shall cooperate with and enter into good faith discussions with Purchaser regarding whether such Consent should continue to be pursued and the appropriate course of action to be taken to obtain such Consent. (d) This Section 6.06 does not relate to antitrust matters, which are the subject of Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 6.05 and this Section 6.06, Purchaser and Seller shall use their respective best efforts to cause the Closing to occur on or prior to December 31, 1998; provided, however, that such best efforts obligation shall not require either Seller or Purchaser to waive any right or condition in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. SECTION 6.07. Fees and Expenses. (a) Whether or not the Closing takes place, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, including all costs and expenses incurred pursuant to Sections 1.04 and 6.05. No costs or expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (i) shall be allocated by Seller to the Acquired Assets or the Businesses or (ii) shall constitute Assumed Liabilities, except for both (i) and (ii), as otherwise expressly agreed in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. (b) If a Termination Event shall have occurred, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller upon demand in immediately available funds Seller's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, investment banking firms, accountants, experts and consultants to Seller (collectively, the "Expenses")) in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

From the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Seller, Seller Subs and Cemax-Icon shall promptly notify Purchaser of, and Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of: (a) any written notice or other written communication from any person alleging that the Consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than notice in respect of a Consent disclosed in any Schedule); (b) any written notice or other written communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (c) any developments or changes in the status of any matter covered by Section 3.14 or otherwise included in Schedule 3.14; and (d) any Proceedings commenced or, to the Knowledge of Seller or the knowledge of Purchaser, as applicable, threatened, (i) against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting Seller, any Seller Sub or Cemax-Icon, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 3.15 or (ii) that are of the type described in Section 7.01(b) or 7.02(j). SECTION 6.09. Employee Matters; WARN Act. (a) Eligible Employees. (i) Schedule 6.09 sets forth a list of all Eligible Employees and provides the following information with respect to each such Eligible Employee: (w) current base salary or compensation, (x) job title and (y) country. Seller may modify the list of Eligible Employees after the date hereof (i) to fill vacancies created by employment terminations, retirement, death or disability or (ii) to identify specific individuals to fill vacant positions set forth on Schedule 6.09; provided, however, that after each such modification the list is comprised only of individuals who are actively employed by Seller or Seller Subs at the Closing Date and who fall into one of the following categories (A) employees (other than customer service, support and corporate staff) who perform at least 80% of their services for the Businesses; (B) customer service and support employees ("CSS Employees") who perform at least 75% of their services for the Businesses; (C) 406 CSS Employees (minus the number of such employees in (B), above) mutually selected by Seller and Purchaser (taking into account the need of the Businesses to have customer service and support employees who are geographically and functionally dispersed) from a pool of employees who perform at least 50% of their services for the Businesses; (D) employees of Cemax-Icon; (E) 115 contract employees who perform at least 75% of their services for the Businesses ("Contract Employees"); (F) 11 employees employed in Germany in the document imaging business (the "German Document Imaging Employees"); (G) 75 corporate staff employees ("corporate staff employees") of Seller mutually selected by Seller and Purchaser and (H) 17 employees at the Ferrania facility ("Ferrania Employees") who (a) are not primarily employed in the Business and (b) are required by Law to be transferred to Purchaser; provided, further, however, that (i) Seller may not remove any individual from Schedule 6.09 if, as of the date hereof, such individual falls into category (A), (B), (C), (D) or (G) and (ii) the number of Eligible Employees (after any modification by Seller to Schedule 6.09) shall not exceed (u) 1602 employees in categories (A), (B), (C), (D) and (G), (v) 115 Contract Employees, (w) 11 German Document Imaging Employees, (x) 406 CSS Employees, (y) 75 Corporate Staff Employees and (z) 17 Ferrania Employees.

For purposes of the Agreement, "U.S. Eligible Employees" means Eligible Employees primarily employed in the United States and "Foreign Eligible Employees" means all other Eligible Employees (such U.S. Eligible Employees and Foreign Transferred Employees being collectively referred to herein as the "Eligible Employees"). (ii) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, a stay bonus program (the "Stay Bonus Program") will be established, as set forth in Schedule 6.09(a)(ii). Purchaser shall bear the cost of the Stay Bonus Program. (b) Transferred Employees. (i) On or before the Closing Date (or, if later, the date an individual is considered an Eligible Employee), Purchaser will offer employment to each Eligible Employee in a position substantially similar to such Eligible Employee's current position with Seller or any Seller Sub, as the case may be, at compensation levels no less favorable than that provided by Seller or Seller Subs as of the Closing Date and with pension and other benefit arrangements that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those in which such Eligible Employee participated as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser will comply with any applicable law, rules and regulations in making employment offers to Eligible Employees. U.S. Eligible Employees and Foreign Eligible Employees who accept Purchaser's offer of employment together with those employees whose employment is transferred by operation of law and all employees of Seller Subs that are being acquired by Purchaser shall be referred to as "U.S. Transferred Employees" and "Foreign Transferred Employees", respectively, and shall be collectively referred to as "Transferred Employees". (ii) For a period of no less than one year following the Closing Date (the "Continuation Period"), Purchaser shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each U.S. Transferred Employee (a) compensation at levels no less favorable than that provided by Seller or Seller Subs as of the Closing Date and (b) pension and other benefits arrangements that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those in which such U.S. Transferred Employee participated as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller agrees that the provisions of subsection (b), above, shall be satisfied if such U.S. Transferred Employees continue to participate on the same terms and conditions in the applicable pension and other benefit arrangements of Seller or Sellers Subs or they are eligible to participate on the same terms and conditions in all plans available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser. (iii) Seller will not amend or terminate (other than as required by law) any Transferred Employee's employment agreement and shall, at Purchaser's request, assign any such agreement to Purchaser. (c) U.S. Transferred Employees. (i) During the Continuation Period, U.S. Transferred Employees shall be eligible for severance benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Seller. (ii) Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided, defined benefit pension benefits and eligibility for retiree health care benefits to Grandfathered Employees that are substantially similar to those that would have been provided to such employees as a result of being considered grandfathered employees for purposes of 3M's defined benefit pension plans ("3M Pension Plans") and 3M's retiree health care plans ("3M Health Care Plans") if such employees had remained employed by Seller and Seller Subs during the period they are actually employed by Purchaser; provided that Seller shall not be required (i) to provide, or cause to be provided, the defined benefit pension accrual provided to employees of Seller who are not considered Grandfathered Employees or (ii) to provide, or cause to be provided, benefits more favorable than those available to similarly situated employees of Seller who would be considered Grandfathered Employees. "Grandfathered Employees" means (i) with respect to defined benefit pension benefits, those U.S. Transferred Employees who are considered Grandfathered Employees with respect to benefits under 3M Pension Plans, and (ii) with respect to retiree health care benefits, those U.S. Transferred Employees who are considered Grandfathered Employees with respect to benefits under 3M Health Care Plans. (iii) Purchaser shall provide relocation benefits to U.S. Transferred Employees, if required, in accordance with Purchaser's employee relocation policy. U.S. Transferred Employees (other than employees of Cemax- Icon) will be credited with accumulated service with Seller or any Seller Sub, as the case may be, 3M and their affiliates for eligibility, vesting and benefit purposes under all plans or programs maintained by Purchaser and its affiliates after the Closing Date (including all severance plans); provided that (a) no such service shall be credited under Purchaser's plans providing retiree welfare benefits and (b) no such service shall be credited for benefits purposes under Purchaser's defined benefit pension plans. Service recognized prior to the Closing Date under Cemax-Icon benefit programs will continue to be taken into account under such benefit programs. For a period of four years following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall appropriately compensate each U.S. Transferred Employee whose vacation entitlement under the applicable programs of Purchaser is less than such U.S. Transferred Employee's vacation entitlement under the applicable programs of Seller as of the Closing Date; it being understood that Purchaser shall either continue to provide such greater entitlement to the affected U.S. Transferred Employee or pay the U.S. Transferred Employee the cash value of the difference between such vacation entitlements at Purchaser's option. (iv) Seller will retain liability for (i) all unfunded pension liabilities with respect to the U.S. Transferred Employees and (ii) all claims under Seller's or Seller Subs' (other than Cemax-Icon) employee benefit plans incurred with respect to the U.S. Transferred Employees before the Closing Date. Purchaser will be responsible for all claims under Benefit Plans sponsored by Cemax-Icon and all claims incurred with respect to the U.S. Transferred Employees after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 6.09, (i) claims for medical, dental and vision benefits are incurred when the relevant services are rendered, (ii) claims for life insurance benefits are incurred on the date of death, (iii) claims for disability benefits are incurred on each date such benefits become payable under the terms of the applicable disability program and (iv) all other claims are incurred upon the occurrence of the last event giving rise to the entitlement to benefits. (v) U.S. Transferred Employees shall be entitled to use after the Closing Date, or to receive the value of, all unused vacation benefits earned before the Closing Date. (vi) Seller shall retain responsibility for providing group health coverage required by Section 4980B of the Code ("Continuation Coverage") to those U.S. Eligible Employees who do not accept employment with Purchaser and who elected such Continuation Coverage prior to the Closing Date (other than employees of Cemax-Icon, who shall continue to be the responsibility of Cemax-Icon). Purchaser shall provide Continuation Coverage to U.S. Transferred Employees or their dependents only (other than employees of Cemax-Icon) with respect to "qualifying events" as defined in Code Section 4980B(f)(3) which occur on and after the Closing Date, to the extent required by Applicable Law. (d) Foreign Transferred Employees. (i) Except as provided herein, Seller will be responsible for the portion of any liabilities (A) that are calculated with reference to a Foreign Transferred Employee's length of service with Seller or Seller Subs and (B) that are attributable to pre-Closing Date service with 3M or Seller (the "Foreign Service Liability"). The amount of the Foreign Service Liability shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Foreign Service Liability determined as of the Closing Date on an "accumulated benefit obligation" basis (the "ABO Amount") and (ii) 50% of the difference between the amount of the Foreign Service Liability determined as of the Closing Date on a "projected benefit obligation" and the ABO Amount. "Accumulated benefit obligation" and "projected benefit obligation" shall be calculated consistently with the principles set forth in SFAS 87. In the event any Foreign Service Liability is fully funded by dedicated or set-aside assets (a "Funded Foreign Service Liability"), Seller shall transfer to Purchaser (and Purchaser will assume and indemnify Seller and Seller Subs against) such Foreign Service Liabilities along with an equivalent amount of assets. Seller may, at its election, satisfy any unfunded or partially funded Foreign Service Liability (an "Underfunded Foreign Service Liability") by: (A) transferring to Purchaser the Foreign Service Liability along with an equivalent amount of assets, (B) retaining the Underfunded Foreign Service Liability or (C) transferring to Purchaser the Underfunded Foreign Service Liability and reducing the Purchase Price by an equivalent amount; provided, however, that (x) Seller shall comply with all applicable laws in making its election hereunder and (y) the Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree before the Closing Date upon a method for determining the Underfunded Foreign Service Liability. (ii) The asset and liability transfers described in the Section 6.09(d)(i) (the "Transfers") shall be effected in accordance with the following principles: (i) the Transfers shall be effected as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, (ii) the actual assets to be transferred to Purchaser shall be the appropriate proportionate share of the actual pool of assets set aside to fund a particular Foreign Service Liability or cash if there is no such pool, (iii) the amount of the assets transferred to Purchaser shall be increased (or decreased, as appropriate) by the compound rate of return for the period from the Closing Date to the date of transfer for the pool of assets set aside to fund a particular Foreign Service liability or, if there is no such pool, LIBOR. (iii) If Seller transfers dedicated or set-aside transfers in excess of any individual Funded Foreign Service Liability, the amount of such excess (the "Excess Assets) shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, Seller's obligation to transfer additional assets equal to the aggregate Underfunded Foreign Service Liabilities transferred to Purchaser. If the aggregate amount of Excess Assets exceeds Seller's aggregate unfunded obligation with respect to all Underfunded Foreign Service Liabilities transferred to Purchaser, Purchaser shall make a cash payment to Seller in an amount equal to such excess. Purchaser will be responsible for all (A) accrued vacation pay for Foreign Transferred Employees and (B) liabilities related to the Foreign Transferred Employees that are determined without reference to such employees' length of service with Seller or Purchaser. (iv) Seller shall notify and consult with the works councils or similar employee representatives as required by Law with respect to the transfers contemplated by this Agreement. (v) Seller (A) shall cause the benefits of all Transferred Employees under non-U.S. defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans to be fully vested as of the Closing Date or (B) continue to credit service with Purchaser for vesting purposes with respect to such benefits. (e) Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate and consult with each other in connection with any communications with Eligible Employees regarding the Acquisition and the employment by Purchaser of such Eligible Employees. SECTION 6.10. Post-Closing Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to cooperate with each other, for a period of 90 days after the Closing and, in the case of the services set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, until the termination in all respects of such relevant service, to ensure the orderly transition of the Businesses from Seller to Purchaser and to minimize any disruption to the Businesses and the other respective businesses of Seller and Purchaser that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby. After the Closing, upon reasonable written notice, Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other and their employees, counsel, auditors and representatives access, during normal business hours, to such information and assistance relating to the Businesses (to the extent within the control of such party) as is reasonably necessary for financial reporting, accounting and Tax matters. SECTION 6.11. Publicity. From the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party or any of its advisors without the prior consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by Law of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; provided, however, that each of Seller and Purchaser may make internal announcements to their respective employees and to 3M, bank lenders or parties to Contracts under which they have disclosure obligations, that are consistent with the parties' prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated hereby after reasonable prior notice to and consultation with the other party. SECTION 6.12. Records. Seller shall deliver originals of all Records that are part of the Acquired Assets (or, in the case of Records relating to Cemax-Icon, including the portions of any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Returns that relate to Cemax-Icon or Records that are described in Section 1.02(b)(vii) (A) or (C), copies of such Records) to Purchaser at the locations where such Records are currently maintained if such Records are maintained at a facility that is an Acquired Asset or is to be leased to Purchaser under the Shared Facilities Agreement or otherwise to Purchaser as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 days after Closing at such location or locations to be mutually agreed. Purchaser recognizes that certain Records may contain incidental information relating primarily to subsidiaries or divisions of Seller other than the Businesses and that Seller may retain copies of the relevant portions thereof. SECTION 6.13. Agreement Not To Compete. (a) Seller understands that Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the Businesses to the extent permitted by Law and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 6.13 and, therefore, for a period of seven years from the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, compete against Purchaser in the Businesses in the medical imaging market or any other line of business that competes with the Businesses in the medical imaging market (including inkjet printing, direct radiography, dry laser printing, dry thermal printing or any other medical imaging equipment, interfaces, components or hard copy output or media, in each case only to the extent used in the medical imaging market or for medical imaging applications) ("Competitive Activities"), except (i) the activities and businesses operated at the Ferrania Facility to the extent contemplated by the X-ray/Wet Laser Supply Agreement, (ii) the activities and businesses operated at the Ferrania Facility as contemplated by the Intellectual Property Agreement and the License Agreement, (iii) the manufacture and sale into the medical imaging market of Data Storage Media sold by the businesses of Seller or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) the manufacture and sale into the medical imaging market of any other products, goods or services sold by the businesses of Seller or any of its subsidiaries in existence at any time if such products, goods and services are not either (A) promoted by Seller or any of its subsidiaries for medical imaging uses through (1) the use of internal or external written promotional materials or (2) paid advertisements, or (B) registered as medical devices with the FDA or any similar regulatory body; (v) the manufacture or sale into the medical imaging market of any products, goods or services by Seller or any of its subsidiaries to be used as components or parts of items sold by third parties in the medical imaging industry; provided, however, that such products, goods or services do not contain an Imation name, brand or logo, except for any such Imation name, brand or logo displayed in a manner that indicates that such product, good or service is being used as a component or supply item in another product, good or service; (vi) the document imaging business in Germany; and (vii) the assignment, lease, sublicense or other transfer of any Intellectual Property, Technology or other proprietary information owned or licensed by Seller or any of its subsidiaries to any third party. For purposes of this Section 6.13, "Data Storage Media" means all data storage media, equipment, systems and subsystems and related software and services, other than paper and film in each case used for imaging purposes (including uncoated film of diagnostic quality). (b) Section 6.13(a) shall be deemed not breached as a result of the ownership by Seller or any of its subsidiaries of: (i) less than an aggregate of 2% of any class of publicly traded equity securities of a person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities; (ii) less than 10% in value of any instrument of indebtedness (publicly traded or issued in accordance with Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S of the Securities Exchange Commission) of a person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities; (iii) a person that engages, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities if such Competitive Activities account for less than 10% of such person's consolidated annual revenues or (iv) more than otherwise permitted by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above if any such excess is sold within one year from the date it was first acquired. (c) Seller understands that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 6.13(c) and, therefore, for a period of two years from the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, without Purchaser's prior written consent, hire any Transferred Employee listed on Schedule 6.13(c), or induce any Transferred Employee to leave the employ of Purchaser. SECTION 6.14. Bulk Transfer Laws. Seller and Purchaser each hereby waives compliance by the other with the provisions of any so-called "bulk transfer law" of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser. SECTION 6.15. Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions (subject to Section 6.05 and Section 6.06), as such other party may reasonably deem necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, in the case of Seller and Seller Subs, executing and delivering to Purchaser such assignments, deeds, bills of sale, consents and other instruments as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request as necessary for such purpose. SECTION 6.16. Purchase Price Allocation. (a) Seller and Purchaser shall mutually determine the amount of the total consideration transferred by Purchaser and its affiliates in exchange for the Acquired Assets, which amount will consist of the Purchase Price plus the amount of the Assumed Liabilities, and will not include any amount paid pursuant to the Supply Agreement, and will mutually determine the allocation of such total consideration among the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities in accordance with their relative fair market values in the manner required by Section 1060 of the Code, the regulations thereunder and any applicable provisions of any U.S. state or local or foreign law. The extent to which the parties have agreed on such determination or allocation as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 6.16. (b) Purchaser and Seller agree to act in accordance with the allocations as finally determined pursuant to Section 6.16(a) (including any modification required to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.06) in any relevant Tax Returns, including any such Tax Returns required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder or any provisions of local, state and foreign law (including IRS Form 8594), and to cooperate in the preparation of any such Tax Returns and to file timely such Tax Returns in the manner required by applicable law. (c) The parties agree to cooperate and work together to cause all relevant Taxing Authorities to accept the allocation agreed upon pursuant to this Section 6.16. If the agreed upon allocation is successfully challenged by any Taxing Authority, the parties agree to work together to cause other Taxing Authorities to agree to conforming adjustments, to the extent such adjustments will decrease the overall Tax costs to all parties, and to share any Tax savings that result from any of the foregoing changes to the allocation. SECTION 6.17. Supplies. Purchaser shall not use stationery, purchase order forms or other similar paper goods or supplies (collectively, the "Supplies"), that state or otherwise indicate thereon that any Business is a division or unit of Seller or any Seller Sub more than 90 days after the Closing Date without first crossing out or marking over such statement or indication or otherwise clearly indicating on such Supplies that the division is no longer a division or unit of Seller or Seller Sub, as applicable. Purchaser shall not reorder any Supplies which state or otherwise indicate thereon that the division is a division or unit of Seller or any Seller Sub. SECTION 6.18. Insurance. (a) From the date of this Agreement to the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date, Seller shall use its best efforts to have Purchaser named as an additional insured party under each of the insurance policies issued to Seller listed on Schedule 6.18 ("Seller Existing CGL Policies"), which best efforts shall include seeking the consent, if required, of the underwriters under each Seller Existing CGL Policy; provided, however, that (i) in connection with seeking to have Purchaser named as an additional insured party under Seller Existing CGL Policies, Seller shall not be required to make any payment or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any person or to take any action that could impair or diminish Seller rights or benefits under Seller Existing CGL Policies and (ii) any additional cost or expense associated with Purchaser's being named an additional insured party under Seller Existing CGL Policies shall be borne in full by Purchaser and (iii) Seller shall involve a representative of Purchaser in all substantive communications (written or oral) with any underwriter with respect to having Purchaser named as an additional insured party under any Seller Existing CGL Policy. Seller shall not obligate Purchaser to incur or assume any cost or expense in connection with being named an additional insured party without Purchaser's prior written consent hereto; provided, however, that any decision of Purchaser not to incur or assume any such cost or expense for whatever reason shall not result in Seller not being in compliance with any of its obligations under this Section. (b) For a period of three years following the Closing, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (i) exclude the Businesses or Acquired Assets as "divested operations" from coverage under any Seller Existing CGL Policy, (ii) amend or waive any of its rights with respect to the scope of coverage (including coverage exclusions), policy limits or co-payments under any Seller Existing CGL Policy, (iii) terminate any Seller Existing CGL Policy or (iv) increase Seller self-insured retention or deductibles under any Seller Existing CGL Policy. SECTION 6.19. Cemax-Icon. (a) On or prior to Closing, Seller shall cause Cemax-Icon to cancel or repay all indebtedness (whether as obligor, guarantor or otherwise) to third parties for borrowed money (other than accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business) of Cemax-Icon outstanding on the Closing Date, other than any such indebtedness set forth in clause (a)(viii)(A) & (B) and item 3 under clause (a)(ix)(b) of Schedule 3.08 and other than the Cemax-Icon Payments.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, between the Closing and June 30, 1999, Purchaser shall spend on a consolidated basis in connection with the objectives referenced in Section 6.08 of the Cemax-Icon Merger Agreement an amount equal to the product of (a) $20,000,000 and (b) the number of days from but excluding the Closing Date to and including June 30, 1999 divided by 365. (c) If at any time Dominion Fund IV or any other holder of Cemax-Icon's Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note dated October 30, 1996 (or any portion thereof), shall exercise its right to convert any portion of such Note into Warrants pursuant thereto, Purchaser shall on the date of any such conversion pay to Seller, to an account designated in writing by Seller, an amount in cash in U.S. dollars equal to the then outstanding principal amount, accrued interest and other amounts owed with respect to the applicable portion of such Note so converted.

SECTION 6.22. Insurance Proceeds. Seller shall, or shall cause the appropriate Seller Sub to, use their respective reasonable commercial efforts to seek any insurance proceeds to the extent covered by third-party insurance policies with respect to events or occurrences prior to Closing (other than insurance proceeds related to Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities) that have destroyed or damaged or otherwise reduced the value of any Acquired Assets having an aggregate fair market value of at least $2,000,000 and to promptly pay over to Purchaser any such proceeds to the extent paid to Seller or a Seller Sub.

Within 30 days following Seller's receipt of the Purchaser Notice, Seller shall either (1) notify Purchaser that Seller agrees that such proposed Purchaser Claim satisfies the conditions set forth in subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of clause (c) of this Section 9.01, and that Purchaser may proceed to file the Purchaser Claim under the applicable Seller Existing CGL Policies or (2) notify Purchaser that Seller believes that such proposed Purchaser Claim does not satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth in subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of clause (c) of this Section 9.01, and Seller shall describe in reasonable detail its reasons therefor. If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller believes that such proposed Purchaser Claim does not satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth in subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of clause (c) of this Section 9.01, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed expeditiously to resolve such disagreement in accordance with Section 11.08. If following completion of the procedures set forth in subclauses (1) and (2) of this clause (d), Purchaser files the applicable Purchaser Claim under the applicable Seller Existing CGL Policies and is unable to recover the full amount of such Purchaser Claim due to (x) exhaustion of the coverage limits under such Policies or (y) denial of the Purchaser Claim by the relevant insurers on the basis that the Purchaser Claim was time barred under the applicable Seller Existing CGL Policies (provided, however, that such denial was not based on the fact that Purchaser has filed the Purchaser Claim outside the required period under the applicable Seller Existing CGL Policy) then Seller shall pay directly to Purchaser any Losses in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the portion of the Purchaser Claim not paid by the insurers because of the exhaustion of coverage limits or, subject to the proviso above, the application of such time bar and (y) the aggregate amount paid under the relevant Seller Existing CGL Policies to or for the benefit of Seller with respect to claims filed by any person after the date on which Seller shall have received the Purchaser Notice (less all amounts otherwise payable by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this subclause (y), which has previously been paid by Seller to Purchaser with respect to any other Purchaser Claims filed by Purchaser). Any direct payment from Seller to Purchaser made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be counted towards the $150,000,000 limitation on direct payments set forth in the first clause of subclause (iv) of clause (b) of Section 9.01, but such direct payment shall be counted towards the $300,000,000 limitation set forth in subclause (v) of clause (b) of Section 9.01. (e) Purchaser shall have the right to seek payment of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under subclause (i) of clause (a) of Section 9.01 directly from Seller, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (b) of Section 9.01, for any portion of Purchaser Claims not satisfied by the applicable insurers or Seller's payment to Purchaser pursuant to the penultimate sentence of clause (d) of this Section 9.01. (f) Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser with respect to any Purchaser Claim properly made by Purchaser under any other Existing CGL Policy. (g) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in the Conveyance Documents, Purchaser acknowledges that its sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement and the Conveyance Documents, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Businesses, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Excluded Liabilities (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or wilful breach) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX; provided, however, that the only remedy provided for any and all claims arising under Section 1.06 is provided in Section 1.06. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or wilful breach) it may have against Seller arising under or based upon any Law (including any relating to environmental matters) or arising under or based upon common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9.01). SECTION 9.02. Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (each, a "Seller Indemnified Party") against, and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any Loss, imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party (payable promptly upon written request), to the extent arising out of or resulting from: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 7.03(a) or (b) hereto or in any other certificate delivered pursuant hereto; (ii) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; (iii) any Assumed Liability or any liability of Cemax-Icon (except for any Pre-Closing Environmental Liability or any liability that is an Excluded Tax); (iv) any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by Purchaser to any brokers, financial advisors or other comparable persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (v) for any severance obligations other than those obligations that are considered Excluded Liabilities arising out of any claims or actions brought by any U.S. Transferred Employees that are (a) based upon a constructive termination theory in connection with the amount of compensation and pension and other benefit paid or made available by Purchaser to such U.S. Transferred Employees or (b) attributable to Purchaser's failure to offer employment to a U.S. Eligible Employee on terms consistent with Section 6.09; (vi) all severance obligations mandated by local law or collective bargaining agreements with respect to Foreign Eligible Employees that are incurred as a result of (i) events occurring after a Foreign Eligible Employee accepts Purchaser's offer of employment, (ii) Purchaser's request that a Foreign Eligible Employee relocate to a Purchaser facility that is (X) outside such Foreign Eligible Employee's current country of employment or (Y) is not a current Purchaser facility or (iii) Purchaser's failure to offer employment to a Foreign Eligible Employee on terms consistent with this Agreement; (vii) 50% of all severance obligations mandated by local law or collective bargaining agreements with respect to Foreign Eligible Employees who decline an offer of employment by Purchaser that is consistent with Section 6.09(b); provided that Purchaser shall not be responsible for any such mandatory severance obligations (i) that arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason other than those enumerated in this Section 9.02 or (ii) with respect to any customer service and support employees to whom Purchaser has made such an offer of employment (which offer was declined) if Purchaser in fact hires 406 customer service and support employees as contemplated by clauses (iii) of Section 6.09(a). Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate in good faith to minimize any severance liabilities mandated by local law or collective bargaining agreement related to the Foreign Eligible Employees; or (viii) all liabilities of Seller with respect to the 1998 Payment and the 1999 Payment as set forth in Section 2.03. SECTION 9.03. Calculation of Losses; No Punitive Damages, etc. (a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss (which amounts, however, shall be subject to subrogation by the indemnified party's insurer) and shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the indemnified party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the indemnified party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the indemnified party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss. The amount of the Loss arising out of any item included as a liability in calculating Closing Working Capital shall be calculated net of the amount so included. The amount of the Loss arising out of any reduction in value of any Current Asset acquired at the Closing shall be calculated net of the reported value of such Current Asset used in calculating Closing Working Capital. The term "Current Assets" means the current assets of the Businesses, calculated in the same way, using the same methods, as the line items on the Balance Sheet, subject only to adjustment in accordance with Exhibit B. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no indemnified party shall be entitled to indemnification from any indemnifying party under this Article IX in respect of any punitive damages except for indemnification for punitive damages that are recoverable Losses and are paid by an indemnified party to a third party; provided, however, that this Section 9.03(b) shall not be interpreted to limit the provisions of Section 9.01(g) with respect to claims or causes of action resulting from fraud or wilful breach. SECTION 9.04. Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party, (i) pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i) or 9.02(i), shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 9.07, (ii) pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(iv), shall terminate on the close of business on the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) pursuant to the other clauses of Sections 9.01 and 9.02 shall not terminate; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (in accordance with the terms of Section 9.05) to the party to be providing the indemnification. SECTION 9.05. Procedures Relating to Indemnification. (a) In order for a party (the "indemnified party"), to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any person against the indemnified party (other than a Tax Claim) (a "Third Party Claim"), such indemnified party must notify the indemnifying party in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim promptly (but in no event more than 30 days) following receipt by such indemnified party of notice of the Third Party Claim. The failure by any indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to such indemnified party under Section 9.01 or 9.02, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that it has been actually prejudiced by such failure. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, promptly following the indemnified party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim. (b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party. Should the indemnifying party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party) at its own expense separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party (it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense). The indemnifying party shall be liable for and shall reimburse the indemnified party for all costs, fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party) for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the indemnified party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party's request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis during normal business hours to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of a Judgment that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the indemnified party or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or (ii) any monetary liability of the indemnified party that will not be paid or reimbursed by the indemnifying party. (c) Other Claims. In the event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 9.01 or 9.02 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall deliver notice of such claim promptly (but in no event more than 30 days) following discovery by the indemnified party of such claim to the indemnifying party. The failure by any indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to such indemnified party under Section 9.01 or 9.02, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that it has been prejudiced by such failure. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within 30 calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the indemnifying party disputes its liability to the indemnified party under Section 9.01 or 9.02, such claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under Section 9.01 or 9.02 and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such liability to the indemnified party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If the indemnifying party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall proceed in good faith to resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 11.09 hereof. (d) Environmental Claims. (i) Without limiting the other provisions of this Section 9.05, if Purchaser has a claim against Seller for a Pre-Closing Environmental Liability, Seller shall have the right but not the obligation to manage any investigation, remediation, corrective action or other activities ("Remedial Action") required to address the conditions giving rise to such claim. If Seller elects to manage any Remedial Action, Seller shall (A) provide Purchaser the opportunity to review in advance such Remedial Action to be taken or implemented and the form and substance of any plan, report or submission to be transmitted to any Governmental Entity regarding such Remedial Action, and (B) provide Purchaser quarterly (or more frequently if reasonably requested by Purchaser) written reports regarding the status of such Remedial Action, including any correspondence with any Governmental Entity regarding such Remedial Action. Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement as to the scope of work regarding any Remedial Action. If Seller and Purchaser cannot agree as to such scope of work and the cost of implementing Purchaser's desired Remedial Action is in excess of that of Seller's desired Remedial Action, Seller shall implement Purchaser's desired Remedial Action; provided, however, that Seller's liability therefor shall be limited to the amount necessary to undertake and implement Seller's desired Remedial Action; provided, however, that Seller's Remedial Action does not materially impair the operation of the Businesses or value of the Acquired Assets; provided, further, however, that Remedial Actions involving reasonable engineering controls, institutional controls or site use restrictions shall not be considered material impairments of value (such amount, "Seller's Remedial Cost") and Purchaser shall be liable for any and all amounts in excess of Seller's Remedial Cost. Seller's Remedial Cost shall be determined by submitting requests for proposals and cost estimates based upon the scope of work for Seller's desired Remedial Action to three nationally recognized environmental remediation consultants/contractors (as reasonably selected by the Seller); Seller's Remedial Cost shall be the least cost alternative based upon such competitive bidding procedure. (ii) Purchaser and Seller shall maintain as confidential, except as otherwise required by Law, any non- public information exchanged or obtained in connection with any Remedial Action. Each party shall retain and, upon the other party's request, provide the requesting party any records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Remedial Action. Purchaser shall provide Seller, during normal business hours and upon prior request, reasonable access to any area on the Acquired Assets related to any such Remedial Action and to employees of Purchaser to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. (iii) Any Remedial Action undertaken by Seller hereunder shall not materially interfere with the operation of the Businesses by Purchaser and shall not materially impair the operation or value of the Acquired Assets; provided, however, that Remedial Actions involving reasonable engineering controls, institutional controls or site use restrictions shall not be considered material impairments of value. Seller hereby indemnifies and holds Purchaser harmless against any Losses associated with, resulting from or arising out of the undertaking of any Remedial Action that Seller controls or manages pursuant to this Section 9.05(d) including any Losses arising out of Seller's access to or activities involving any Acquired Asset in connection therewith. (iv) If Seller does not elect to manage a Remedial Action, Purchaser shall assume such obligation. Thereafter, Purchaser shall (A) provide Seller the opportunity to approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in advance such Remedial Action to be taken or implemented and the form and substance of any plan, report or submission to be transmitted to any Governmental Entity regarding such Remedial Action, and (B) provide Seller quarterly (or more frequently if reasonably requested by Seller) written reports regarding the status of such Remedial Action, including a reasonably detailed accounting of expenditures related to such Remedial Action and any correspondence with any Governmental Entity regarding such Remedial Action. (e) Detailed Notice. Any claim for indemnification under this Agreement shall describe the claim in reasonable detail, include copies of any available material written evidence thereof and indicate the estimated amount of such claim and, in the case of a claim related to an environmental matter, shall include details regarding the precise nature and scope of the Loss together with any technical information such as sampling or testing results. (f) Mitigation. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability after such party becomes aware of such claim or liability. In the event that an indemnified party shall fail to make such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability after such party becomes aware of such claim or liability then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify any person for any Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the indemnified party had made such efforts. SECTION 9.06. Procedures Relating to Tax Indemnification. (a) If Purchaser receives notification of a claim being made by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.01, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such claim (a "Tax Claim"). If after Purchaser receives notification of a Tax Claim, notice of such Tax Claim is not given to Seller within a sufficient period of time to allow Seller to effectively contest such Tax Claim, or in reasonable detail to apprise Seller of the nature of the Tax Claim, in each case taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect to such Tax Claim, Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser, any of its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents or representatives to the extent that Seller's position is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. If Seller receives notification of a Tax Claim, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such claim. (b) With respect to any Tax Claim (other than a Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of Cemax-Icon for a Straddle Period or a Post-Closing Tax Period), Seller shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that, in the case of a Tax Claim that relates to Cemax-Icon, with respect to each of the foregoing matters, Seller shall keep Purchaser informed concerning all material aspects of such proceedings, and shall pursue resolution of the Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, taking into account Seller's obligations under Section 9.01; and provided, further, however, that, if in the case of a Tax Claim that relates to Cemax-Icon, Purchaser reasonably determines that any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Purchaser may at its option take complete control of the proceedings; provided, further, however, that if Purchaser takes control of the proceedings, Purchaser shall keep Seller informed concerning all material aspects of such proceedings. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of Cemax-Icon for a Straddle Period. (c) Purchaser, Cemax-Icon and each of their respective affiliates shall cooperate with Seller in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include the retention and (upon Seller's request) the provision to Seller of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making their employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional reasonably relevant information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim. (d) In no case shall Purchaser, Cemax-Icon or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents or representatives settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Claim without Seller's prior written consent. Neither party shall settle a Tax Claim to the extent relating to Taxes of Cemax-Icon for a Straddle Period without the other party's prior written consent. SECTION 9.07. Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in any document delivered in connection herewith shall, subject to clauses (i) through (iii) below, survive the Closing solely for purposes of Article IX, (i) in the case of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.02, 3.09 and 3.16, they shall terminate at the close of business on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) in the case of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.14 and 3.17(b), they shall terminate on the Closing Date and (iii) in the case of all other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, they shall terminate at the close of business on the second anniversary of the Closing Date. ARTICLE X Tax Matters SECTION 10.01. Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns and Amendments. (a) For any taxable period of Cemax-Icon that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, (i) Seller shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed prior to the Closing and shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns, and (ii) Purchaser shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing and shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns; provided, however, that Purchaser shall reimburse Seller and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser (each in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.06) for any amount owed by Purchaser or Seller, respectively, pursuant to Section 9.01 with respect to the taxable periods covered by such Tax Returns. To the extent such Tax Returns relate to Cemax- Icon, the party responsible for preparing and filing such Tax Returns shall furnish such Tax Returns to the other party for such other party's approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld) at least 15 calendar days prior to the due date for filing such returns. (b) For any taxable period of Cemax-Icon that ends on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed, and shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns; provided, however, that Seller shall not take any position on such returns that could result in a detriment to Purchaser or its affiliates (including Cemax-Icon after the Closing) except to the extent such position is consistent with past practice. (c) Purchaser and Seller agree to cause Cemax- Icon to file all Tax Returns for the period including the Closing Date on the basis that the relevant taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, unless the relevant Taxing Authority will not accept a Tax Return filed on that basis. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for filing any amended or consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Returns for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are required as a result of examination adjustments made by the relevant Taxing Authority for such taxable years as finally determined. For those jurisdictions in which separate Tax returns are filed by Cemax-Icon, any required amended returns resulting from such examination adjustments, as finally determined, shall be prepared by Seller and furnished to Cemax-Icon, for its approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld), signature and filing at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax returns. SECTION 10.02. Cooperation. (a) Seller, Cemax- Icon and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary, in connection with Taxes (including in connection with preparing and filing all Tax Returns and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes). Except as otherwise provided herein, the party requesting assistance or cooperation shall bear the other party's out-of-pocket expenses in complying with such request to the extent that those expenses are attributable to fees and other costs of unaffiliated third-party service providers. (b) Purchaser and Seller recognize that Seller and its affiliates will need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by Cemax-Icon to the extent such records and information relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Periods; therefore, subject to the following sentence, Purchaser agrees, and agrees to cause Cemax-Icon, (i) to use their best efforts properly to retain and maintain such records until such time as Seller reasonably agrees that such retention and maintenance is no longer necessary and (ii) to allow Seller and its agents and representatives (and agents or representatives of any of its affiliates), at times and dates mutually acceptable to the parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records as Seller may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal business hours and at Seller's expense. Purchaser and Seller recognize that after the Closing records maintained by Cemax-Icon may contain competitive proprietary information which Purchaser will want to keep confidential from Seller and its affiliates and, accordingly, the parties agree to work together to provide Seller and its affiliates with information that they reasonably require without divulging any information that Purchaser considers competitive proprietary or confidential information. (c) Purchaser shall retain the books and records of Seller and Seller Subs included in the Acquired Assets for a period of seven years after the Closing. After the end of such seven-year period and before disposing of such books or records, Purchaser shall give notice to such effect to Seller and give Seller, at Seller's cost and expense, an opportunity to remove and retain all or any part of such books or records as Seller may select. SECTION 10.03. Refunds and Credits. Any refunds or credits of Taxes attributable to the Acquired Assets or of Cemax-Icon for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller to the extent that any such refund can be obtained or any such credit utilized without considering income, loss or any other item arising in any Post-Closing Tax Period of Cemax-Icon or any taxable period of Purchaser or any other affiliate of Purchaser. Any refunds or credits of Taxes attributable to the Acquired Assets or of Cemax-Icon for any taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Purchaser. Any refunds or credits of Taxes attributable to the Acquired Assets or of Cemax-Icon for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Seller and Purchaser except that Seller shall be entitled to share only in the portion of any such refund which can be obtained or the portion of any such credit which can be utilized without considering income, loss or any other item arising in any Post-Closing Tax Period of Cemax-Icon. If Seller so requests and at Seller's expense, Purchaser shall, and shall cause Cemax- Icon to, file for and obtain any refunds or credits to which Seller is entitled under this Section 10.03; provided, however, that Cemax-Icon will not be required to take any position that could result in a detriment to Purchaser or its affiliates except to the extent such position is consistent with past practice and Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its affiliates for any losses resulting from Purchaser (or Cemax-Icon) taking any position, at Seller's request under this provision, that is not consistent with past practice. Purchaser shall permit Seller to control the prosecution of any such refund claim and, where deemed appropriate by Seller, shall, and shall cause Cemax-Icon to, authorize by appropriate powers of attorney such persons as Seller shall designate to represent Purchaser or Cemax-Icon with respect to such refund claim; provided, however, that, with respect to each of the foregoing matters, Seller shall keep Purchaser informed concerning all material aspects of the prosecution of the claim and all related proceedings and shall pursue resolution of the claim diligently and in good faith taking into account Seller's obligations under the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall, and shall cause Cemax- Icon to forward to Seller any such refund within 10 days after the refund is received (or reimburse Seller for any such credit within 10 days after the credit is allowed or applied against other Tax liability); provided, however, that any such amounts payable to Seller shall be net of any net Tax cost to Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser including Cemax-Icon attributable to the receipt of such refund and/or the payment of such amounts to Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall treat any payments under the preceding sentence that Seller shall receive pursuant to this Section 10.03 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for United States Federal income Tax purposes, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to Purchaser or any of its affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. For purposes of computing the net Tax cost to Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser referred to above, a Tax benefit shall be taken into account only to the extent that such person has realized an actual Tax savings which such person would not otherwise have realized, assuming such person recognized all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt and payment of such amounts hereunder; and for the avoidance of doubt, such savings shall not include the Tax refund which Purchaser or its affiliate is obligated to pay over to Seller hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the control of the prosecution of a claim for refund of Taxes paid pursuant to a deficiency assessed subsequent to the Closing Date as a result of an audit shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.06. SECTION 10.04. Transfer Taxes; Value Added Taxes. All Transfer Taxes applicable to the conveyance and transfer from Seller and Seller Subs to Purchaser of the Acquired Assets in an amount not exceeding $6,000,000 shall be equally shared by Seller and Purchaser; any of the foregoing in excess of $6,000,000 shall be borne by Seller. All Value Added Taxes applicable to the conveyance and transfer from Seller and Seller Subs to Purchaser of the Acquired Assets that shall not be recovered by Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Buyer after Purchaser shall have used commercially reasonable best efforts to recover such Value Added Taxes ("Unrecovered Value Added Taxes") in an aggregate amount up to $2,000,000 shall be borne by Purchaser and all such Unrecovered Value Added Taxes in excess of $2,000,000 shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser's efforts to recover any Value Added Taxes. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes and Value Added Taxes, and to cooperate with the other parties in providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions. SECTION 10.05. Purchaser Activity on Closing Date. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause Cemax-Icon to conduct its business in the ordinary course in substantially the same manner as presently conducted and on the Closing Date shall not permit Cemax-Icon to effect any extraordinary transactions (other than any such transactions expressly required by applicable law or by this Agreement) that could result in Tax liability to Cemax-Icon in excess of Tax liability associated with the conduct of its business in the ordinary course. SECTION 10.06. Purchaser Activity Post-Closing. (a) Purchaser shall not, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (i) file any amended Tax Return with respect to Cemax-Icon; (ii) carry back any loss or other Tax attribute of Cemax-Icon; or (iii) take any position with respect to Taxes of Cemax-Icon that would have the effect of shifting income from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period unless, in each case, Seller shall have consented in writing to such action by Purchaser. (b) Purchaser shall not make any election under Section 338 of the Code, or other comparable election under state, local or foreign law with respect to the acquisition by Purchaser of the Cemax-Icon Shares. (c) Seller shall make an election under Treasury Regulation ss. 1.1502-32(b)(4) to waive all losses attributable to Cemax-Icon which are carried to the first taxable year of Cemax-Icon following the closing date of the acquisition of the stock of Cemax-Icon by Seller. Purchaser shall make an election under Treasury Regulation ss. 1.1502-32(b)(4) to waive all losses attributable to Cemax- Icon which are carried to the first taxable year of Cemax- Icon following the Closing Date, which shall include a protective election to waive any of the losses referred to in the previous sentence to the extent not effectively waived by Seller's election; provided, that Purchaser makes no representations, warranties, covenants or guarantees of any kind as to the effectiveness or effect of such election (including such protective election).

(NYSE:IMN) today announced that they have concluded an agreement for Kodak to acquire most of Imation's worldwide medical imaging business, including its DryViewTM laser imaging business. Under the terms of the agreement, Kodak will pay Imation approximately $ 520 million in cash at closing and will acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Imation's medical imaging business, including Imation's manufacturing facilities in White City, Oregon and Oakdale, Minn., and all of the outstanding shares of Imation's Cemax-IconTM subsidiary in Fremont Calif. Kodak has also agreed to reimburse Imation for certain contingent amounts payable to the former shareholders of Cemax-Icon. The business being acquired by Kodak generates approximately $ 500 million in revenues annually. Approximately 1,600 Imation employees worldwide will transfer to Kodak. Imation will retain its manufacturing facility in Ferrania, Italy, where the company will manufacture x-ray and wet laser medical imaging film for Kodak under a supply agreement for a minimum of two years. As part of the cash payment, and in connection with the Ferrania supply agreement, Kodak will pay Imation $ 20 million in cash at closing. The company also will make a payment of up to an additional $ 25 million no later than termination of the supply agreement. Under a separate supply agreement, Kodak will supply document imaging products to Imation out of the White City, Oregon facility. According to Kodak, after amortization of goodwill and funding costs, it is anticipated that the transaction, on an operating basis, will be earnings neutral for Kodak during the first 12 months following the transaction and accretive to earnings thereafter. Kodak will fund the acquisition with cash from internal operations and additional cash, if needed, from the capital markets. The company expects the cost of the acquisition to have no significant impact on the company's debt-to-capital ratio. Imation officials indicated that the company anticipates reporting an after-tax gain at closing of approximately $ 75-80 million, net of estimated costs of the transaction. The company also identified plans for use of the sale proceeds in three areas, where appropriate: to support investments in the company, to repay debt and to buy back the company's stock. In addition, upon closing of the acquisition, or if the transaction does not close due to the failure to receive applicable regulatory approvals, the civil litigation concerning certain intellectual property disputes between the companies in the United States and Italy will be settled. At the same time, the related civil litigation between Kodak and Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:MMM) also will be settled. Further details of the settlements were not disclosed. 2 "When we publicly updated our corporate strategy last November, we reaffirmed the importance of our Health Imaging business," said Daniel A. Carp, Kodak President and Chief Operating Officer. "Today, we are confirming our commitment with this acquisition, which significantly improves our position in the medical imaging field. This transaction enhances our ability to market innovative products and services, and provides value for our medical imaging customers, as well as the company's shareholders." "The sale of our medical business is a triple win -- for our customers, our shareholders and Imation employees" said William Monahan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Imation. "Our medical imaging customers will continue to receive the same high-quality products and services, backed by the focused global resources of Kodak. Imation customers, shareholders and employees will benefit through Imation's increased focus on our core opportunities in data storage, data management, image management and color management solutions, and through our ability to use the proceeds to pay down debt, invest in key growth opportunities and resume our stock buyback, as appropriate." (See: "Sale of Medical Imaging Business Allows Imation to Sharpen Focus; Enhance Shareholder Value," Business Wire 8/3/98.) "This acquisition brings together the medical imaging units of two companies, each with a long heritage of product innovation," said Martin M. Coyne, President of Health Imaging and a Vice President of Kodak. "It will enable Kodak to develop and market a broader portfolio of world class imaging products to meet the needs of our medical imaging customers worldwide. This acquisition expands the range of diagnostic printing systems for our medical customers. This clearly underscores our ongoing commitment to satisfying the evolving needs of the medical profession." Principal products included in Imation's medical imaging business are: DryView laser imaging systems, Imation wet laser imagers, Imation chest system, Imation TrimaxTM x-ray films, conventional x-ray film processing systems, Imation wet laser films, and Cemax-Icon digital picture-archiving and communication systems (PACS) products. In addition to the medical imaging assets, Kodak will also acquire rights to Imation's DryView Imagesetting Film business in the graphic arts industry. Kodak will integrate the acquired businesses into its Health Imaging business and indicated that it does not expect the transaction to have an adverse impact on its previously announced cost reduction goals. Consummation of the transaction is subject to expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, receipt of other applicable antitrust approvals and customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 1999. Imation supplies a variety of products and services worldwide for the information and image management industry, specializing in imaging and data storage solutions. In 1997, the Company generated revenues of approximately $ 2.2 billion. Imation employs approximately 9,500-people worldwide and is based in Oakdale, Minn.
