Section 1.3.Consent to Assignment.
(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 1.2(a) shall not constitute an agreement to sell, assign, transfer or convey any Transferred Asset or any claim, right or benefit thereunder or arising therefrom, if an attempted sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of such Transferred Asset or such claim, right or benefit thereunder or arising therefrom (collectively, the “Interests”) would constitute a breach or a violation of any applicable Law, or would adversely affect, in any material respect, the rights of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates thereunder, or if such Interest is not capable of being sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed without any third-party consent which has not been obtained by (or does not remain in
11
1007334419v23


full force and effect at) the Closing, unless and until (i) such Interest (an “Excluded Interest”) can be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed in accordance with Section 1.2(a) without such a breach, violation of Law or adverse effect on the rights of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates thereunder or (ii) such third-party consent is obtained, at which time, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such Excluded Interest shall be deemed to be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed in accordance with Section 1.2(a) and shall cease to be an Excluded Interest. Without prejudice to Section 1.3(b), if any required consent is not obtained prior to Closing, then, until the earliest of (x) such time as such consent is obtained, and (y) with respect to a Transferred Asset that is a Contract, the expiration of the term of such Contract in accordance with its current term or the execution of a replacement Contract by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, Section 5.6(b) shall apply with respect to such consent.
(b)To the extent that any Interest cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed without a breach or violation of any applicable Law or any adverse effect, in any material respect, on the rights of Purchaser, any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates thereunder, or to the extent any Interest cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed without any third-party consent which has not been obtained by (or which does not remain in full force and effect at) the Closing, the parties shall, while such Interest remains an Excluded Interest, cooperate in implementing any reasonable and lawful arrangements that (i) provide the claims, rights, remedies and benefits of such Excluded Interest to Purchaser or its designated Affiliate, (ii) cause Sellers and their Subsidiaries to enforce, at Purchaser’s written request, any claims, rights, remedies and benefits of such Excluded Interest solely for the benefit of Purchaser or its designated Affiliate and (iii) cause Purchaser or its designated Affiliate to assume, bear and if permitted, perform all Liabilities thereunder from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, assuming that the rights and benefits of such Excluded Interest can be passed through to Purchaser. Purchaser shall promptly pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities and obligations to the extent Purchaser would have been responsible therefor if there had been no such breach or violation of Law, adverse effect or required third party consent, and as if such Excluded Interest had been transferred to Purchaser as of the Closing. In the event the Purchaser or its Affiliates are unable to perform the Liabilities in respect of any Excluded Interest described in clause (iii) above and Sellers or their Subsidiaries are able to so perform, Sellers agree to perform such Liabilities on Purchaser’s behalf and at its direction, and Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers for all costs, expenses and other Liabilities to the extent arising from such performance that would otherwise be Assumed Liabilities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in respect of an Interest that is a Transferred Contract, neither Carestream Parent nor any Seller shall have any obligation to seek any third-party consent, cooperate in providing the benefits of any Excluded Interest to Purchaser or perform any Assumed Liabilities on behalf of the Purchaser, in each case, following the expiration of the term of such Contract in accordance with its current term or the execution of a replacement Contract by Purchaser or its Affiliate. Without limiting the express terms of this Agreement, the failure of any third-party consent to be obtained or the failure of any Interest to constitute a Transferred Asset due to such consent not being obtained shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Business Material Adverse Effect or a breach by Carestream Parent of any representation, warranty, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or permit a change to the calculation of the Purchase Price, the components thereof or adjustments thereto due to the
12
1007334419v23


failure to transfer such Transferred Assets on the Closing Date; provided that this sentence shall not apply to the Specified Contract.

Purchaser shall have the right to review the Estimate and Carestream Parent shall consider in good faith any comments thereto provided by Purchaser in writing prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, agreement on the Estimate and the components thereof is not a condition to Closing, and in no event shall any comments raised by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.6 delay the consummation of the Closing in any manner.
Section 1.7.Closing Adjustments Schedule.
(a)As promptly as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days, after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Carestream Parent a schedule including: (i) Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Retained Cash, the Carestream China Intercompany Balances Adjustment Amount, the amount of Indebtedness as at the Closing, the Working Capital Deficit, if any and the Working Capital Surplus, if any and (ii) Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price, setting forth in reasonable detail and accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation (such schedule, the “Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule”). Following the Closing, Purchaser and its representatives shall provide Carestream Parent and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the records and personnel of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to the extent relevant to the review of the Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective representatives to, reasonably cooperate with Carestream Parent and its representatives in connection with their review of the Proposed Closing Adjustment Schedule.
(b)If Carestream Parent does not give written notice of any dispute, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such dispute and reasonable supporting information and calculations demonstrating that Purchaser’s calculations were not consistent with the Calculation Principles (a “Purchase Price Dispute Notice”), to Purchaser within thirty (30) days of receiving the Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule, the Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule shall be deemed to set forth the final Retained Cash, Carestream China Intercompany Balances Adjustment Amount, the amount of Indebtedness as at the Closing, the Working Capital Deficit, if any, the Working Capital Surplus, if any, and Adjusted Purchase Price, in each case, for purposes of determining the Adjustment Amount. Prior to the end of such thirty (30) day-period, Carestream Parent may accept the Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule by delivering written notice to that effect to Purchaser in which case the Purchase Price will be finally determined when such notice is given. If Carestream Parent gives a Purchase Price Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day-period, Carestream Parent and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the thirty (30) day-period commencing on the date that Purchaser receives the Purchase Price Dispute Notice from Carestream Parent but if they do not reach a final resolution within such thirty (30) day-period, Carestream Parent and Purchaser shall submit any disputes outstanding in respect of the Purchase Price Dispute Notice to Grant Thornton LLP (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve the Purchase Price Dispute Notice. If such firm refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Independent
16
1007334419v23


Auditor, then Carestream Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to appoint another nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreeable to Carestream Parent and Purchaser, in which event “Independent Auditor” shall mean such firm. Any discussions between Carestream Parent and Purchaser or any of their respective representatives prior to the submission of any disputes to the Independent Auditor shall be subject to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any similar state laws. The Independent Auditor shall be instructed to base its decision solely on written presentations provided by Carestream Parent and Purchaser and shall work to provide for prompt resolution of any unresolved disputes in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice and in any event shall make its determination in respect of such disputes within thirty (30) days following its retention (it being agreed that any delay shall not render the Independent Auditor’s determination invalid). The Independent Auditor’s determination of such Purchase Price Dispute Notice shall be treated as expert determinations under the Laws of the State of Delaware and such expert determinations shall be final and binding upon the parties and not subject to review by a court or other tribunal, absent fraud or manifest error; provided, that no such determination with respect to any item reflected in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice shall be any more favorable to Purchaser than is set forth in the Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule or any more favorable to Carestream Parent than is proposed in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such disputes by the Independent Auditor. The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be allocated between Purchaser and Carestream Parent so that the amount of fees and expenses paid by Carestream Parent (with the remainder of such amount being paid by Purchaser) shall be equal to the product of (x) and (y), where (x) is the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and where (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by Carestream Parent (as determined by the Independent Auditor) and the denominator of which is the total value in dispute. The Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) and, as so revised, such Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule shall be deemed to set forth the final Retained Cash, Carestream China Intercompany Balances Adjustment Amount, the amount of Indebtedness as at the Closing, the Working Capital Deficit, if any, the Working Capital Surplus, if any, and the Adjusted Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Adjustment Amount) absent manifest error.
(c)Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to, make their respective financial records relating to the Business or the Transferred Entities (subject to execution of customary access letters) available to Carestream Parent and its accountants and other representatives at reasonable times at any time during the review by Carestream Parent of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Proposed Closing Adjustments Schedule.
Section 1.8.Post-Closing Adjustment of Purchase Price.
(a)If the Adjustment Amount is a positive amount, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Adjusted Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant
17
1007334419v23


to Section 1.7, pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds to Carestream Parent, the Adjustment Amount.
(b)If the Adjustment Amount is a negative amount, Carestream Parent shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Adjusted Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.7, pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds to Purchaser, the Adjustment Amount.
(c)The parties hereto agree that any Adjustment Amount as determined pursuant to Section 1.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to purchase price for all Tax reporting purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.
Section 1.9.Withholding. Purchaser and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments pursuant to this Agreement any amounts that it is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law (taking into account any applicable Tax treaty); provided that, if either party becomes aware that any amount is required to be so withheld (other than with respect to compensatory amounts, as a result of the failure of any Person to deliver the documents described in Section 2.2(a)(vi) or China Withholding Taxes), it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other party of any such required withholding at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such withholding and the parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith, including by taking reasonable actions requested by the other party to minimize or eliminate such withholding Taxes; provided, further, that Purchaser shall provide to Carestream Parent as soon as reasonably practicable, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, a certified copy of a receipt issued by the Taxing Authority evidencing the payment of such Taxes to the extent such a receipt is available, a copy of the return reporting the payment of such Taxes or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Carestream Parent. To the extent any amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement to have been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(vi)The filing fees under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws shall be borne by Purchaser.

filed by Purchaser; provided that the relevant Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in the preparation, execution and filing of any such Tax Returns and other documentation as necessary.
Section 5.9.Employees and Employee Benefit Plans. This Section 5.9 contains the covenants and agreements of the parties with respect to the treatment of the employment of the Employees.
(a)Business Employees. Within thirty (30) days following the execution of this Agreement, Carestream Parent shall set forth on Annex A (the “Employee Annex”) a list of the Key Business Employees and the In-Scope Criteria Employees. All of the Key Business Employees, together with the In-Scope Criteria Employees, shall be referred to as the “Business Employees”. Prior to the Closing, Carestream Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, ensure that any individual who is employed or engaged by a Transferred Entity and who is not a Business Employee is transferred out of the Transferred Entities in compliance with applicable Law. In the event that any Business Employee rejects an offer of employment from Purchaser, Carestream Parent may propose a replacement Employee who has a similar position in the Business and any such Employee who is approved by Purchaser pursuant to the In-Scope Criteria process shall be a Business Employee. It will not be a breach of Section 5.9(a) by either party if Carestream Parent has provided Purchaser with an Employee Annex listing the Key Business Employees and those Employees whom Carestream Parent has determined comprise the In-Scope Criteria Employees on or prior to the thirtieth day following the date hereof, but the parties are continuing to finalize the In-Scope Criteria Employees list in accordance with the In-Scope Criteria after such thirtieth day.
(b)Employment Continuity.
(i)The Parties intend that there shall be continuity of employment with respect to the Business Employees, except as otherwise provided herein: (A) where the employment of one or more Business Employees will automatically transfer to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the Acquired Rights Directive or other applicable Law, the employment of such Business Employees shall not be terminated upon the Closing and the rights, powers, duties, Liabilities and obligations of Sellers or any of their Affiliates to or in respect of such Business Employees in respect of any contract of employment with such Business Employees in force immediately before the Closing shall be transferred to Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates in accordance with the Acquired Rights Directive or other applicable Law, and (B) with respect to the Business Employees of the Transferred Entities, the continuity of employment of such Business Employees shall not be affected by the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the rights, powers, duties, Liabilities and obligations of such Transferred Entity to or in respect of each such Business Employee shall remain an obligation of such Transferred Entity, except for Liabilities with respect to any U.S. Benefit Plans or Foreign Benefit Plans that are not Transferring Foreign Benefit Plans; and (ii) where the Acquired Rights Directive or other applicable Law do not provide for the automatic transfer of employment of the Business
53
1007334419v23


Employees, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, no earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing (or earlier to the extent required by applicable Law), offer employment to each such Business Employee pursuant to a written offer letter. Purchaser shall notify Carestream Parent promptly prior to Closing, whether each such employment offer to a Business Employee has been accepted or rejected. Each offer of employment made by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.9(b) shall be made pursuant to a form of offer letter reasonably acceptable to Carestream Parent and shall provide for employment on the Current Employment Terms commencing on the Closing Date. Purchaser and Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to provide for transfers of employment of all Business Employees who accept offers of employment from Purchaser or its Affiliate, without triggering any severance, notice or pay in lieu of notice, indemnity or other termination payments by Carestream Parent and its Affiliates as a result of such transfers, including by Purchaser agreeing to recognize each Business Employee’s seniority or service credit for severance purposes in accordance with Section 5.9(e) and by agreeing to an “employer substitution”, “employee transfer” or similar treatment of the Business Employees where and to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Each Business Employee who (1) accepts an offer of employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, (2) transfers automatically under the Acquired Rights Directive or other applicable Law, or (3) remains employed by a Transferred Entity as of immediately prior to the Closing, shall be referred to as a “Transferred Employee” effective as of the Closing.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.9(a), for those Business Employees who would otherwise be required to be offered employment by Purchaser or an Affiliate pursuant to Section 5.9(b) but who are Inactive Employees, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, offer employment to each such Business Employee to the extent such Business Employee returns to active employment within one hundred and eighty (180) days or such longer period required by applicable Law of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, those Business Employees who would otherwise be required to be offered employment by Purchaser or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 5.9(b) but who are on leave for military service as of the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, offer employment to each such Business Employee to the extent such Business Employee seeks active employment from Purchaser or such Affiliate within the period during which any reemployment rights are guaranteed by applicable Law. Each Business Employee described in the two preceding sentences who accepts Purchaser’s (or its Affiliate’s) offer of employment will become a Transferred Employee as of the date such Business Employee commences work with Purchaser or its Affiliates (including any Transferred Entity).
(iii)If a Business Employee listed on Annex A whom the Sellers have reasonably determined will transfer automatically under the Acquired Rights Directive or other applicable Law claims or is found not to transfer or not to have transferred to the Purchaser or an Affiliate, Carestream Parent and the Purchaser shall notify each other as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware thereof and the Purchaser or
54
1007334419v23


relevant Affiliate shall, in consultation with and cooperation with Carestream Parent, within twenty (20) Business Days following such notification, make to each such employee an offer in writing to employ him or her under a new contract of employment in accordance with this Section 5.9(b) (and at the earliest on the Closing Date).
(iv)If an Employee who is not a Business Employee is found or alleged to have transferred automatically to the Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser on or after Closing Date as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including by operation of the relevant local Law), the Purchaser shall inform Carestream Parent as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware thereof and: (A) Carestream Parent shall, in consultation with the Purchaser, within twenty (20) Business Days (the “Offer Period”) of being informed of such finding, cause the relevant Affiliate of Carestream Parent to make an offer of employment to such person for the same position and in the same location and otherwise for the same terms and conditions as the person’s employment contract with the Affiliate of Carestream Parent in existence immediately prior to Closing, to take effect upon termination of the existing employment contract of such person; and, (B) the Purchaser or relevant Affiliate of Purchaser shall terminate the existing employment contract of such person upon the offer of employment being made under Section 5.9(b)(i) or within thirty (30) Business Days of the expiry of the Offer Period in the event of the failure by the Sellers to cause their relevant Affiliate to make an offer as provided in this Section 5.9(b)(iv), in which case Carestream Parent shall assume and be responsible for, and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against, all Liabilities arising out of or related to reasonably incurred Severance and restructuring costs relating to such person whose employment is terminated (which shall mean given required notice of termination) within the period set out above. Subject to the Purchaser’s compliance with the terms set forth in this Section 5.9(b)(iv), any such Employee covered by this Section 5.9(b)(iv) shall be referred to as a “Seller Retained Employee”.
(c)Employment Terms. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, during the period starting on the Closing Date and ending no earlier than on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or if earlier, until the date of termination of the applicable Transferred Employee), Purchaser shall cause each Transferred Employee to be employed on the Current Employment Terms and to be provided with any other additional terms and conditions of employment as may be required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, starting on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to, for a period ending no earlier than on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or if earlier, the date of termination of the employment of the applicable Transferred Employee with Purchaser and its Affiliates), maintain a severance arrangement for the benefit of each Transferred Employee that is no less favorable than, as applicable, the severance arrangements provided by Carestream Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date but otherwise subject to the requirements of Purchaser’s or its applicable Affiliate’s programs or plans; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) from terminating the employment of any
55
1007334419v23


Transferred Employee at any time from the Closing Date, subject to the requirements of applicable Law.
(d)Vacation, Paid Time Off and Sick Leave. With respect to any accrued but unused vacation, paid time off and sick time (including flexible time-off) to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the policy applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume the Liability for such accrued time at Closing and allow such Transferred Employee to use such accrued time in accordance with the applicable policies of Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate; provided, that, to the extent any such accrued but unused vacation, paid time off or sick time is required by applicable Law to be paid to the Transferred Employees in connection with the Closing, Sellers or their applicable Affiliates shall pay such amounts.
(e)Service Credit. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to give the Transferred Employees credit for their service with Carestream Parent and any of its Subsidiaries (and their respective predecessors), for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, level of paid time off and severance benefits and benefit accrual to the same extent and for the same purpose as such service was credited by Sellers or any of the Subsidiaries in the U.S. Benefit Plans or Foreign Benefit Plans, as applicable, in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, under each Purchaser Plan in which such Transferred Employees participate immediately following the Closing, except as may be required by applicable Law or to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits or coverage. Except as may be required by the Acquired Rights Directive or other applicable Law, Purchaser shall not be required to provide the Transferred Employees with credit for their service with Sellers and any of their Affiliates for benefit accrual purposes under any (i) defined benefit pension plan, (ii) plan that provides retiree medical benefits or (iii) benefit plan that is frozen or for which participation is limited to a grandfathered population; provided, that Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, give each Assumed Pension Employee credit for their service with Sellers and any of their Subsidiaries for all purposes (including eligibility to participate, vesting, level of benefits and benefit accrual) under each Assumed Pension Arrangement.
(f)Welfare Benefit Plan Transition Matters. With respect to any Purchaser Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Purchaser shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities), to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition, actively at work requirements and waiting periods under the Purchaser Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by a Transferred Employee under any analogous U.S. Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) cause any expenses incurred and paid by the Transferred Employees and their beneficiaries under U.S. Benefit Plans that are group health plans during the portion of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-insurance and maximum out-of-pocket expenses to the same extent as such expenses would have been credited under Purchaser Plans that are group health plans.
56
1007334419v23


(g)Bonuses. In the event that Carestream Parent and its Affiliates have not paid annual bonuses in respect of the calendar year ending December 31, 2021 or any sales commission or other short-term cash incentive bonuses for the period ending as of the Closing Date, in each case, owing to any Transferred Employee (collectively, the “Accrued 2021 Bonuses”), Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay the Accrued 2021 Bonuses to the extent taken into account in Working Capital and the resulting Working Capital Deficit or Working Capital Surplus, as applicable. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date and no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date on which Carestream Parent and its Affiliates have determined the amount of the 2021 annual bonus payable to each Business Employee, Carestream Parent shall provide Purchaser with a schedule setting forth the Accrued 2021 Bonus for each Transferred Employee and the regularly-scheduled payment date for each such amount, and Purchaser shall pay the amounts set forth on such schedule to the relevant Transferred Employees at the time set forth in the Accrued 2021 Bonus Schedule on such payment date. With respect to annual bonuses in respect of the calendar year ending December 31, 2022, Purchaser shall pay the Transferred Employees an annual bonus in respect of the portion of the 2022 calendar year that precedes the Closing in an amount at least equal to the amount accrued by Sellers and taken into account in Working Capital and the resulting Working Capital Deficit or Working Capital Surplus, as applicable, it being understood that such amounts will be paid to the Transferred Employees pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Purchaser cash incentive compensation plan or policy in effect and applicable to the Transferred Employees in respect of such year and in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice under such plan.
(h)Termination of Employment. (i) Purchaser shall assume and be responsible for, and hold harmless the Sellers from and against, all Liabilities arising out of or related to any claim for severance, redundancy, termination pay or similar such benefits, or notice under any applicable Law, or under any applicable plan, policy, practice or agreement, including the employer portion of any payroll, social security, unemployment or similar Taxes associated with the foregoing (collectively, “Severance”) and payable (A) on termination of employment of any Business Employee who is not offered employment on the Current Employment Terms by Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.9(b) or whose offer, or the process by which such offer is made, is not consistent with the requirements of applicable Law or this Section 5.9, and (B) any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date. (ii) Carestream Parent or one of its Affiliates shall assume or retain, as applicable, and be responsible for: (A) Severance payable to any Non-U.S. Employees that arises by operation of the applicable Laws or regulations of the jurisdiction in which any such Non-U.S. Employee is located (the “National Laws”) as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) Severance and restructuring costs arising as a result of the termination of employment of any Business Employees objecting to an automatic transfer or rejecting an offer of employment from Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates that is made on the Current Employment Terms and in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable Law and this Section 5.9 (the “Non-Consenting Employees”) and (C) Severance payable to any current or former employee of Sellers and their Affiliates arising as a result of the Pre-Closing Reorganization undertaken in China to facilitate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “China Reorganization Severance Payments”); provided, that, Purchaser

shall reimburse the Carestream Parent for (50%) of the aggregate amount required to be paid and actually paid by Carestream Parent or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.9(h)(ii)(A), (B), and (C); providedfurther, that for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Non-Consenting Employees, the applicable costs subject to reimbursement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.9(h)(ii)(B) shall include the costs associated with any social plan that Carestream Parent or any of its Affiliates enter into, as well as the aggregate amount of all base salaries, short and-long term bonus payments, and the cost of other benefits provided to the Non-Consenting Employees by Carestream Parent or any of its Affiliates during any notice period required by applicable Law, contract, works council, collective bargaining or other similar agreement, or any social plan applicable to such Non-Consenting Employee. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.9(h)(ii), Carestream Parent or its Affiliates shall be responsible for any Liabilities arising out of or related to any claim in relation to the employment or termination of employment, including any claim for severance, termination pay or similar such benefits, or notice under any applicable Law, under any plan, policy, practice or agreement of Sellers by any current or former employee of Sellers and their Affiliates who is not a Business Employee.
(i)United States Employees. This Section 5.9(i) applies solely to Employees who are employed in the United States Business as of the Closing Date (the “U.S. Employees”).
(i)Savings Plan. Effective as of the time the Business Employees become Transferred U.S. Employees, such Transferred U.S. Employees shall cease to be eligible to contribute to the Carestream Parent 401(k) Plan (“Sellers’ Savings Plan”). Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, designate, establish or otherwise maintain one or more tax-qualified defined contribution savings plans (“Purchaser’s Savings Plans”) that shall (A) permit participation of the Transferred U.S. Employees; (B) provide for tax-deferred contributions pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code and (C) accept elective direct rollovers of Transferred U.S. Employees’ accounts that are eligible rollover distributions as defined in Section 402(c) of the Code (in cash, but including any notes evidencing participant loans) in accordance with the terms of the Purchaser’s Savings Plans and applicable Law. Carestream Parent shall cause to be fully vested the account balances of all Transferred U.S. Employees under the Sellers’ Savings Plan, effective as of the Closing, and Carestream Parent shall make to the Sellers’ Savings Plan all employer contributions that would have been made on behalf of all Transferred U.S. Employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred, regardless of any service or end of year employment requirements, but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date. The Purchaser’s Savings Plans shall provide for employer matching contributions that are no less favorable than those provided under the terms of Sellers’ Savings Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser’s Savings Plan shall not be required to offer participation to any Transferred U.S. Employee prior to the date such Employee becomes a Transferred U.S. Employee.

The determination of whether there has been a cash Tax saving and the amount of such cash Tax saving shall be made by the auditors of UK IPCo at the expense of the Sellers with such determination being made on a “with-and-without” basis, with any incremental Tax basis being treated as the last item used in an applicable period. This will mean that the Purchaser will only be obliged to make any payments under this Section to the extent that the cash Tax saving would not have arisen but for the basis step-up solely attributable to such Degrouping Charge applying.
(v)For United Kingdom Tax purposes, Purchaser and its Affiliates, including the Transferred Entities, and their Affiliates agree to treat any income or gain attributable to the sale of Direct Sale IP as income or gain of UK IPCo and shall not take any action or position inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a final resolution of a Tax enquiry by a relevant taxing authority of the United Kingdom.

68
1007334419v23


reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and Taxes incurred in connection with obtaining or paying over such refunds or credits as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt or utilization of such credits to offset Taxes otherwise payable; provided that the amount payable to Sellers pursuant to this Section 5.13(e)(v) shall not exceed the amount described in clause (ii) of the definition of Pre-Closing Taxes.
(f)The Sellers represent that they intend to treat the transfer of any assets to UK IPCo and UK Service Co pursuant to the Pre-Closing Reorganization as a transfer of a going concern (“TOGC”) for VAT purposes.

Section 5.17.Pre-Closing Reorganization.
(a)Prior to the Closing, Carestream Parent shall cause its applicable Affiliates to (i) form each Newco Transferred Entity, (ii) cause UK IPCo to make an election on IRS Form 8832, effective as of the day immediately prior to Closing, to be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and (iii) take all actions necessary to effect and carry out the steps set forth in Schedule A at the times and in the sequence set forth therein, as the same may be amended with the consent of the Purchaser (such consent of the Purchaser not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that, in the event the Pre-Closing Reorganization has not been completed as of the Closing due to the failure to obtain one or more consents or approvals or other action of a Governmental Authority or other third party, in each case, that is necessary for any Transferred Asset to be transferred or an Assumed Liability to be assumed, in each case, as contemplated hereby or because transfer or assumption would violate any applicable Law, Carestream Parent shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 5.17, provided, further, that the foregoing proviso shall not apply if both (x) failure to obtain such consent or approval or other action of a Governmental Authority or other third party would or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, an adverse material effect on the benefits Purchaser expects to derive from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) Carestream Parent and Purchaser, each acting reasonably and in good faith, cannot agree upon and implement prior to the Closing alternative arrangements to pass through to Purchaser the benefits and burdens of such Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability (as applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, if the transactions contemplated in the Pre-Closing Reorganization with respect to Carestream China cannot be completed prior to Closing due to any delay in the formation of an entity in China to receive any of the assets, liabilities or employees contemplated to be transferred from Carestream China pursuant to the Pre-Closing Reorganization (the “Delayed China Excluded Assets”), the parties will work in good faith to implement alternative arrangements to pass through the benefits and burdens in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the parties until such entity in China is formed, promptly upon which time the parties shall cooperate (at the sole expense of Carestream Parent) to transfer the Delayed China Excluded Assets from Carestream China to such entity. For the period of time the Delayed China Excluded Assets remain with Carestream China, any Losses related thereto shall constitute Excluded Liabilities and any profits thereon shall constitute Excluded Assets. In addition to the foregoing, Carestream Parent, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall cause
70
1007334419v23


(i) the sale of the Direct Sale IP pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(iii) to occur as of 11:59 p.m. London Time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) UK IPCo to close its accounting period (including for United Kingdom Tax purposes) as of the end of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) UK IPCo to make an irrevocable foreign branch exemption election with effect from the start of UK IPCo’s next accounting period (i.e. the accounting period which starts on the Closing Date). Carestream Parent shall provide Purchaser with any elections, filings or other documents prepared in connection with the matters described in the immediately preceding sentence and provide Purchaser reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents prior to such documents being filed and/or becoming effective, as applicable.
(b)Prior to Closing and in connection with the Pre-Closing Reorganization the parties shall cooperate fully and use reasonable best efforts to (i) establish a U.S. branch of UK IPCo, (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, cause to be transferred or allocated the Transferred Intellectual Property (other than the Direct Sale IP) held by UK IPCo to such U.S. branch and (iii) permit Purchaser to identify, and obtain a third-party valuation by a nationally recognized independent valuation firm of all or a portion of the Transferred Intellectual Property held by UK IPCo solely for purposes of allowing Purchaser to identify certain of such Transferred Intellectual Property, which shall not have a value (as determined by such valuation) in excess of the Specified Amount, that Purchaser may, at its election, acquire directly from UK IPCo (the “Direct Sale IP”). The parties agree that the transfer of the Transferred Intellectual Property to UK IPCo may occur prior to the identification of the Direct Sale IP so long as the terms of such transfer contemplate that any Direct Sale IP is not to be transferred to such U.S. branch. The parties agree that (A) the cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.17(b) shall be done in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the parties and the cost of obtaining the third-party valuation contemplated by this Section 5.17(b) shall be borne 100% by Purchaser and (B) Carestream Parent shall have a right to review any valuation obtained by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.17(b) prior to being finalized.
(c)Each party to this Agreement agrees to reasonably cooperate in using commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain any consents and approvals of Persons that may be required in connection with the Pre-Closing Reorganization and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Carestream Parent shall: (i) promptly notify Purchaser about any material developments relating to the Pre-Closing Reorganization, (ii) provide Purchaser draft copies of any agreements and documents relating to the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any filing or submissions to be made by Carestream Parent or its Affiliates in order to provide Purchaser and its representatives an opportunity to review such material and comment thereon, and (iii) consider in good faith all such comments of the Purchaser and its representatives thereon and shall incorporate those comments that would reasonably avoid any adverse consequences to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.
Section 5.18.Encumbrances. Carestream Parent shall, and shall cause the applicable Sellers to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to discharge and satisfy at or prior to the Closing, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, all Encumbrances encumbering the Transferred Assets other than Permitted Encumbrances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers
71
1007334419v23


shall arrange for the Transferred Entities to be released from all guarantee and collateral obligations under the Credit Agreements (including the obligations to release any Encumbrances related thereto on the Equity Interests of the Transferred Entities or the Transferred Assets) pursuant to customary documentation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.
Section 5.19.Transition Services Agreements. Between the date hereof and the Closing, Carestream Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith to negotiate and agree to a finalized Transition Services Agreement, to be effective as of the Closing, pursuant to which (a) Carestream Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) will provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser and its Subsidiaries solely for use in the Business certain mutually agreed services (other than the services listed on Section 5.19(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, the “Seller Excluded Services”), it being understood and agreed that Carestream Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) shall offer to provide to Purchaser and its Subsidiaries all such services (other than the Seller Excluded Services) as Carestream Parent and its Affiliates provide to the Business at any point during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date hereof or at the Closing that are reasonably necessary to allow for the operation of the Business in all material respects as currently conducted as of the date hereof and as of immediately prior to the Closing without any additional material costs (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any payments under the Transition Services Agreement) and (b) the Transferred Entities will provide or cause to be provided to Carestream Parent and its Affiliates certain mutually agreed services (other than the services listed on Section 5.19(b) of the Disclosure Schedules, the “Purchaser Excluded Services”) that the Transferred Entities (including, with respect to each Newco Transferred Entity, the assets and registrations transferred to each Newco Transferred Entity as part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization) provide or cause to be provided to the Retained Business as of the date hereof (after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Reorganization), it being understood and agreed that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall offer to provide to Carestream Parent and its Affiliates all such services as the Transferred Entities provide to the Retained Business as of the date hereof (after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Reorganization) and at the Closing that are reasonably necessary to allow for the operation of the Retained Business in all material respects as currently conducted as of the date hereof and as of immediately prior to the Closing without any additional material costs (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any payments under the Transition Services Agreement).
Section 5.20.Shared Contracts.
(a)To the extent that any Contract to which Carestream Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party with any non-Affiliated third party and which benefits (and/or burdens) both the Business and the Retained Business, other than Contracts that are (i) the subject of a service under the Transition Services Agreement or the Supply Agreement (and that are otherwise unrelated to the Business), (ii) the subject of any Seller Excluded Service (and that are otherwise unrelated to the Business), or (iii) any customer, distributor or partnership Contract (the “Shared Contracts”), then Carestream Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to cause the Shared Contracts to be partially assigned and/or replaced with separate contracts as of the Closing Date or as promptly as possible
72
1007334419v23


thereafter that (A) have substantially the same terms as the Shared Contracts being replaced, (B) has Carestream Parent or an Affiliate of Carestream Parent (other than the Transferred Entities) receiving contract rights and being bound by obligations that are substantially similar to those rights and obligations applicable to the conduct of the Retained Business prior to Closing and (C) has Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser receiving contract rights and being bound by obligations that are substantially similar to those rights and obligations applicable to the conduct of the Business prior to Closing. Carestream Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with reasonable assistance in effecting such assignment or replacement of the Shared Contracts. After the Closing and until the earlier of (1) such time as each Shared Contract is assigned or replaced and (2) the expiration of such Shared Contract, Carestream Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate in implementing any reasonable and lawful arrangements that (x) provide the claims, rights, remedies and benefits of such Shared Contract to Purchaser and its Affiliates as contemplated herein, (y) cause Sellers to enforce, at Purchaser’s request, any claims, rights, remedies and benefits of such Shared Contract solely for the benefit of Purchaser and its Affiliates, and (z) cause Purchaser or its Affiliates to assume, bear and, if permitted, perform all Assumed Liabilities thereunder from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, and Purchaser and its respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall promptly pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities and obligations to the extent such party would have been responsible therefor if such contract had been separated. In the event Purchaser or its Affiliates are unable to perform the Liabilities in respect of any Shared Contract described in (z) of the immediately preceding sentence and any Seller is able to so perform, Carestream Parent agrees that it shall, or shall cause such other Seller to, perform such Liabilities on Purchaser’s behalf and at its direction and Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers for all costs, expenses and other Liabilities to the extent arising from such performance that would otherwise be Assumed Liabilities hereunder.
(b)With respect to the Specified Contract, the Supply Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms or until it is replaced with separate contracts that (i) have substantially the same terms as the Specified Contract, (ii) has Carestream Parent or an Affiliate of Carestream Parent (other than the Transferred Entities) receiving contract rights and being bound by obligations that are substantially similar to those rights and obligations applicable to the conduct of the Retained Business prior to Closing and (iii) has Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser receiving contract rights and being bound by obligations that are substantially similar to those rights and obligations applicable to the conduct of the Business prior to Closing. Prior to Closing and for six (6) months following Closing, Carestream Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in good faith, and provide each other with reasonable assistance in effecting, such splitting of the Specified Contract to the extent they determine that the separation of the Specified Contract is commercially feasible.
Section 5.21.Intellectual Property Matters.
(a)Effective as of the Closing Date, Carestream Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicenseable, transferable, and royalty-free license to use and exploit the Licensed Copyrights and Know-How solely in connection with the operation of the business of Purchaser and its
73
1007334419v23


Affiliates in the Field, including, as applicable, to develop, copy, modify, and create derivative works or improvements of such Licensed Copyrights and Know-How in connection therewith.
(b)Effective as of the Closing Date, (i) Carestream Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicenseable, transferable, and royalty-free license under the Retained Patents to make, have made, import, use, have used, offer for sale, sell, and have sold products and services solely in connection with the operation of the business of Purchaser and its Affiliates in the Field and (ii) Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Sellers and their Affiliates a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicenseable, transferable, and royalty-free license under the Transferred Licensed Patents to make, have made, import, use, have used, offer for sale, sell, and have sold products and services solely in connection with the operation of the Retained Business by Carestream Parent and its Affiliates outside of the Excluded Field.
(c)All rights and licenses granted by each party as a licensor under this Section 5.21 are and will be deemed to be rights and licenses to “intellectual property” and the subject matter of this Section 5.21, is and will be deemed to be “embodiment(s)” of “intellectual property,” for purposes of and as such terms are used in and interpreted under Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) (11 U.S.C. § 365(n)). Each party as licensee may exercise all rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code and all other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, and similar laws with respect to this Section 5.21 and its subject matter.
(d)Upon Purchaser’s written request, prior to Closing, Carestream Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to, use commercially reasonable efforts, at Purchaser’s expense with respect to out of pocket filing and application costs (including outside counsel fees), to make all filings and applications reasonably necessary to revive any abandoned or lapsed Patents, which are included in the Transferred Assets, in all cases, solely to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
Section 5.22.Insurance. From and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities shall cease to be insured by Sellers and their Affiliates’ current and historical insurance policies or programs or by any of its current and historical self-insured programs, and none of the Transferred Entities, Purchaser or its other Affiliates shall have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such insurance policies, programs or self-insured programs (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover any assets of the Transferred Entities or any Liability of the Transferred Entities or of or arising from the operation of the Business, in each case, with respect to any acts, facts, circumstances or omissions prior to, at or after the Closing. Sellers may amend, effective at the Closing, any insurance policies and ancillary arrangements in the manner Sellers deem appropriate to give effect to this Section 5.22, provided that Carestream Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any action that would cause the Transferred Entities to no longer be eligible for coverage under the Retained Policies in respect of Pre-Closing Occurrences (unless such action applies equally to the Retained Business). The parties acknowledge that the Transferred Entities may be entitled to the benefit of coverage under the occurrence-based insurance policies of Sellers and their Affiliates (the “Retained Policies”) with respect to acts, facts, circumstances or omissions occurring prior to Closing
74
1007334419v23


(“Pre-Closing Occurrences”). For any Pre-Closing Occurrences, from and after the Closing, Carestream Parent shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, provide the Transferred Entities with access to the Retained Policies (to the extent permitted thereunder or in such other commercially reasonable manner) and shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and the Transferred Entities and take commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to assist the Transferred Entities in submitting such claims to which such policies are responsive. For the avoidance of doubt, claims made under this Section 5.22 shall be subject to the policy limits, retentions or deductibles and other terms of the Retained Policies. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, upon written notice from Carestream Parent to Purchaser, promptly reimburse Carestream Parent and its Affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including payment of deductibles and similar payments and costs of recovery but excluding increases in premiums) incurred by Carestream Parent or its Affiliates to the extent relating to actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.22. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall exclusively bear (and neither Carestream Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Purchaser or any of its post-Closing Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) therefor) the amount of any and all deductibles or retentions associated with claims for Pre-Closing Occurrences under the Retained Policies made by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or their respective employees. Purchaser shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to), without the prior written consent of Carestream Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (a) settle, release, commute, buy-back, or otherwise resolve disputes (other than specific insurance coverage disputes that do not implicate coverage under the policy for claims other than the disputed claim with respect to any of the Retained Policies), or amend, modify or waive any rights under such Retained Policies, or (b) assign the Retained Policies or any rights or claims thereunder. Carestream Parent shall retain the exclusive right to control all of its insurance arrangements, including the Retained Policies, and the benefits and amounts payable thereunder, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with the insurance provider with respect to any of its insurance policies (other than any such action which relates exclusively to a Pre-Closing Occurrence) and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any claims that Purchaser or its Affiliates have made or could make in the future; provided that Carestream Parent and its Affiliates shall not take any such action unless such action would apply generally to coverage of claims by the Business and the Retained Business; provided, further, that Carestream Parent shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for the exhaustion of the limits of liability under the Retained Policies. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or abrogate in any way Carestream Parent’s own rights to insurance coverage for any Liability, whether relating to the Business or otherwise.
Section 5.23.Release.
(a)Effective as of the Closing, Carestream Parent, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (excluding the Transferred Entities), or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of them, and each of their respective successors and assigns (the “Seller Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and completely waives and releases and forever discharges Purchaser, the Transferred Entities and each of their respective heirs, executors,

Carestream Parent shall not make, and Carestream Parent shall not permit any of its Affiliates to make, and covenant never to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, assert or voluntarily assist any Person in asserting any claim or demand, or commence any claim, suit or action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim for contribution or indemnification, against any of the Transferred Releasees with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to this Section 5.23(a).
(b)Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities), or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of them, and each of their respective successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and completely waives and releases and forever discharges the Sellers, their Affiliates and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (such released Persons, the “Seller Releasees”), in each case from all demands, claims, investigations, causes of action, suits, accounts, covenants, Contracts, losses and Liabilities whatsoever of every name and nature, both in law and in equity, arising out of or related to events, circumstances or actions relating to any Seller Releasees direct or indirect ownership of any Transferred Entity or the operation of the Business occurring or failing to occur, in each case, at or prior to the Closing, other than in each case, (i) any rights, claims or causes of action of either party, its Affiliates and their respective representatives under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any other written agreement to be in effect between Sellers and Purchaser (or their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, or any enforcement thereof and (ii) the intercompany accounts and Contracts that survive the Closing as expressly contemplated pursuant to Section 5.10. Purchaser shall not make, and Purchaser shall not permit any of its Affiliates to make, and Purchaser covenants never to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, assert or voluntarily assist any Person in asserting any claim or demand, or commence any claim, suit or action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim for contribution or indemnification, against any of the Seller Releasees with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to this Section 5.23(b).

(a)Carestream Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses that are imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or in connection with, but without duplication, (i) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Carestream Parent set forth in this Agreement which by its terms is to be performed at or prior to the Closing, (ii) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Carestream Parent set forth in this Agreement which by its terms is to be performed after the Closing, (iii) the Excluded Liabilities and any Liability of Carestream Parent or any of its Affiliates as of the Closing Date that is not an Assumed Liability, or (iv) any Degrouping Charge.

Section 8.3.Indemnification Procedures.
(a)Third-Party Claims.
(i)In order for a party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Article VIII (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of a claim made against the Indemnified Party by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third-Party Claim promptly following receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim; provided that failure to give such notification promptly shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure; provided further that such notification must be made prior to the expiry of the applicable survival period for such claim as set forth in Section 8.1. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents
83
1007334419v23


(including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim, other than those notices and documents separately addressed to the Indemnifying Party.
(ii)The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third-Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnifiable hereunder and to select counsel of its choice (provided such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party); provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim, and if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim it shall cease to defend and control such Third-Party Claim if (A) the Third-Party Claim includes any criminal charges against any Indemnified Party or (B) the Third-Party Claim involves any injunctive relief or equitable remedy against any Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party (1) does not within twenty (20) Business Days of its receipt of notice of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) elect to defend against or negotiate any Third-Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnifiable hereunder or is not entitled to assume the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim or (2) after assuming such control fails to diligently defend against such Third-Party Claim in good faith, then the applicable Indemnified Party may defend against, control, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party (and any reasonable costs and expenses associated with such defense shall be indemnifiable Losses hereunder). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the applicable Indemnified Party may participate, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim provided that such participation shall be at its own expense, unless (x) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the written advice of counsel, that there are legal defenses available to it that are materially in conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Party or (y) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them, in which case, such participation will be with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party (and any reasonable costs and expenses associated with such participation shall be indemnifiable Losses hereunder).
(iii)If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall (and shall cause the applicable Indemnified Parties to) cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party is defending or prosecuting such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall (and shall cause the applicable Indemnified Parties to) cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating
84
1007334419v23


thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, no such Third-Party Claim may be settled, compromised or discharged by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless any such settlement, compromise or discharge: (A) obligates the Indemnifying Party (or its Affiliates) to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim, (B) imposes no injunctive or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, (C) unconditionally releases all Indemnified Parties from all further liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (D) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the applicable Indemnified Parties 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of a conflict between this Section 8.3(a) and Section 5.13(e), Section 5.13(e) shall control to the extent of such conflict.
(b)Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly following the Indemnified Party becoming aware of the same. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article VIII, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure; provided that such notification must be made prior to the expiry of the applicable survival period for such claim as set forth in Section 8.1.
Section 8.4.Tax-Related Provisions.
(a)All payments made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted under applicable law.
(b)To the extent a Loss that gives rise to an indemnity payment under Section 8.2(a)(i) or (ii), in each case solely to the extent attributable to the Transferred Entities, results in a net Tax benefit (determined on a with and without basis and taking into account any Tax detriment, including attributable to an adjustment in Tax basis) to the Indemnified Party that is actually realized by it in the taxable year in which such Loss is incurred or in the three subsequent taxable years, the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss shall be reduced (not below zero) by the amount of such net Tax benefit (determined on a with and without basis). If any such Tax benefit is subsequently disallowed or rendered superfluous (e.g., because of a carryback of losses into the taxable year in which such Tax benefit was taken into account), the applicable Indemnifying Party shall make an appropriate reconciliation payment to the Indemnified Party.
85
1007334419v23


Section 8.5.Exclusive Remedy. The parties acknowledge and agree that, should the Closing occur, each party’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for monetary relief relating to Article VIII, the Business, the Transferred Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or any representation, warranty or covenant of the other party contained in this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII; provided, however, that (i) nothing herein shall limit in any way either party’s remedies in respect of Fraud, the operation of Section 1.8 or Section 9.8 or any remedies provided for under any other Transaction Document and (ii) should the Closing occur, no party shall have, and all parties shall be deemed to have waived, any rescission rights with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 8.6.Limitations.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Purchaser Indemnified Party may assert any claims for indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i): (i) in respect of any Loss incurred or suffered by such Purchaser Indemnified Party that is not a Qualifying Loss and (ii) until such time as the aggregate of all Qualifying Losses that Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have under Section 8.2(a)(i) exceeds $1,000,000 (the amount referred to in this clause (ii), the “Indemnity Threshold”), and then only for the aggregate amount of all Qualifying Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold. The aggregate liability of Carestream Parent in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $30,000,000.
(b)Any Losses of any Purchaser Indemnified Party indemnifiable hereunder shall be satisfied, disregarding any retention amount under the R&W Insurance Policy for this purpose, (i) first, by seeking recovery pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy until the coverage limit of the R&W Insurance Policy has been exhausted if the claim is of a type for which recovery would be available and (ii) second, if coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy is not available for any reason (including because the coverage limits are exhausted, the claim is subject to an exclusion or limitation, including any retention, or the claim is denied), by recovering against Carestream Parent for indemnification for such Losses under this Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is relying exclusively on, and its sole recourse for any actual or alleged breach of any representation or warranty will be, the R&W Insurance Policy (except in the case of Fraud).
(c)The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 8.2 for any (i) Losses relating to any matter to the extent that such matter has been taken into account in the adjustment of the Purchase Price under Section 1.6 or Section 1.8, as applicable, or (ii) any punitive damages. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than once in respect of any Loss.
(d)The amount of any Losses payable under Section 8.2 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts actually recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under applicable insurance policies, other available indemnitees or otherwise with respect to such Losses (with such recovered or recoverable amounts being net of any Taxes or expenses incurred in connection with such recovery, the deductible under any insurance policy
86
1007334419v23


and any increase in premium for insurance policies arising in connection with such recovery). If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies or otherwise, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of expenses incurred by its in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim.
(e)If the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party is indemnified for any Losses pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any claim by a Person not party to this Agreement, other than any insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy, then Carestream Parent will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party against such third party, and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties to, cooperate with and assist Carestream Parent in asserting all such rights and remedies against such third party.
(f)Each of the parties agrees to use, and to cause any other Seller Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party, as applicable, to use, its reasonable best efforts to mitigate any Losses with respect to which it may be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), including seeking recovery under applicable insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance Policy).
