Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Transaction Agreement.

In consideration of and as an inducement to each Party’s agreement to expend further time, effort and resources in connection with continuing efforts to effect the Proposed Transaction, the Parties hereby further agree as follows:

1. Consultations with Staff Representative Bodies. The Parties acknowledge that the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreement by CooperSurgical and Cook Medical is subject to the relevant works councils and other employee representative bodies of Cook Medical employees and CooperSurgical employees in certain jurisdictions or trade unions set forth on Exhibit B (the “Staff Representative Bodies”) being informed and consulted on the Proposed Transaction and, to the extent required by applicable Law, the Staff Representative Bodies delivering a final opinion on the Proposed Transaction. As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery by the Parties of this letter (and in any event no later than five days after the date of this letter, or such later time as may be agreed upon by the Parties), Cook Medical and, to the extent required, CooperSurgical shall commence such consultations procedures with the Staff Representative Bodies and provide such information as may be required by applicable Law in connection with the Proposed Transaction and, where applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an opinion (whether favorable or not) from each of the Staff Representative Bodies in regards to the Proposed Transaction as soon as practical following the date on which such information and consultation process has been commenced. Cook Medical shall keep CooperSurgical regularly informed of the status of such information and consultation process and promptly provide CooperSurgical with a true and certified copy of each Final Opinion (as defined below) delivered by the Staff Representative Bodies in connection herewith, or prompt notice if any Staff Representative Body shall be deemed under applicable Law to have rendered its final opinion in connection with the Proposed Transaction. CooperSurgical shall promptly furnish to Cook Medical such information as may be reasonably requested by Cook Medical in connection with such consultation process or the preparation of any filing or submission to the Staff Representative Bodies required in connection therewith, including any document or information related to CooperSurgical’s structure, background and history, employment regulations to be applied within CooperSurgical to the Transferred Employees (i.e. collective bargaining agreements, uses and practices, profit sharing schemes, etc.), past investments in the same industry, if any, plans for the Target Business, the Transferred Employees and consequences the Proposed Transaction may have on the Target Business.

In particular, Cook Medical shall (i) keep CooperSurgical informed in a timely manner of the progress of the consultation processes and of any material issues arising therefrom; (ii) permit CooperSurgical to review in advance any material written correspondence, notices and other communications to be furnished or made available to any Staff Representative Body, (iii) take into account in good faith any comments that CooperSurgical may make with respect to any such correspondence, notices and other communications and obtain CooperSurgical’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any items of or directly relating to CooperSurgical, (iv) support the Proposed Transaction throughout the consultation processes; and (v) refrain from making any commitment or representation to any Staff Representative Body, including any commitment to proceed with modifications to any existing rights or obligations of Cook Medical’s employees, modifications to the terms of the Transaction Agreement or to the future business operations of Cook Medical, in each case, without the prior written consent of CooperSurgical.

CooperSurgical shall ensure compliance with all trade union information obligations related to the Proposed Transaction applicable to it, and that appropriate Representatives (including senior Representatives) of CooperSurgical and its Affiliates attend meetings (via videoconferences or in person, as is appropriate) of the Staff Representative Bodies and meet with the relevant employees and employee representatives where and when reasonably requested by Cook Medical, any of the Staff Representative Bodies, or any expert appointed by any of the Staff Representative Bodies (as applicable); and, more generally, provide reasonable assistance and cooperation with a view to completing the consultation process in a timely fashion.

(b) From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases, acquittances and other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer fully to, and vest in, Buyer and the Buyer Designees and each of their respective successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Buyer or a Buyer Designee under this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements and to assure fully to Seller and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective successors and assigns, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Buyer or a Buyer Designee under this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including (i) transferring back to Seller or a Subsidiary any asset or liability not contemplated by this Agreement to be a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, if and to the extent that any such asset or liability was erroneously or inadvertently transferred to Buyer or a Buyer Designee at the Closing and (ii) transferring to Buyer or a Buyer Designee any asset or liability contemplated by this Agreement to be a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which was erroneously or inadvertently not transferred to Buyer or a Buyer Designee at the Closing).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to transfer or assign any Purchased Asset, including any Transferred Contract, Transferred Governmental Permit, certificate, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by Law is nonassignable or cannot be entered into without the consent of a Third Party or a Governmental Body or is cancelable by a Third Party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until (i) such consents shall have been obtained or (ii) Buyer or a Buyer Designee notifies Seller that any such Purchased Asset should be transferred or assigned notwithstanding the absence of a requisite Third Party consent or Governmental Body consent or the right of a Third Party to cancel such Nonassignable Asset in the event of a transfer or assignment hereunder, in which event such Purchased Asset shall not be a Nonassignable Asset for purposes of this Agreement and shall instead be transferred and assigned hereunder notwithstanding the absence of such Third Party consent or Governmental Body consent or any right of a Third Party to cancel such Purchased Asset. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents and deliver any required notices under all Nonassignable Assets, and Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with Seller to obtain such consents promptly. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event any requisite consent cannot be or is not for any reason obtained prior to the Closing, from and after the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to develop a mutually agreeable arrangement (including by way of amendment or addition of services to the Transition Services Agreement) under which Buyer or a Buyer Designee would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations under such Nonassignable Assets in accordance with this Agreement, including by sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Buyer or a Buyer Designee. From and after the Closing Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, also take or cause to be taken at Buyer’s or a Buyer Designee’s expense such actions in its name or otherwise as Buyer may reasonably request so as to provide Buyer or the applicable Buyer Designee with the benefits of the Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Seller or the applicable Subsidiary shall promptly pay over to Buyer or the applicable Buyer Designee all money or other consideration received by it in respect to all Nonassignable Assets. If after the Closing Date any Nonassignable Asset becomes assignable (either because consent for the assignment or execution thereof is obtained or otherwise), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and cooperate to assign or transfer such previously Nonassignable Asset to Buyer or the applicable Buyer Designee. Further, the Parties agree that Transferred Contracts which Seller requires to provide services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement will not be transferred or assigned until the expiration of the Transition Services Agreement. Seller shall not terminate or materially extend, amend, modify or waive any right with respect to any such Business Contract without Buyer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

-21-

(d) Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval, or amendment required to transfer all rights and obligations under any and all Transferred Contracts, Transferred Governmental Permits, certificates, approvals, authorizations or other rights or obligations or liabilities that constitute Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities or that are required to perform the obligations under the Collateral Agreements.

(e) From and after the Closing Date, Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates authorizes Buyer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Buyer’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller or its Affiliates under the Nonassignable Assets and appoints Buyer its attorney-in-fact to act in its name on its behalf or in the name of the applicable Affiliate of Seller and on such Affiliate’s behalf with respect thereto.

-22-

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless and until any consent or approval with respect to any Nonassignable Asset is obtained, such Nonassignable Asset shall not constitute a Purchased Asset and any associated liability shall not constitute an Assumed Liability for any purpose under this Agreement.

(g) As reasonably requested by Buyer, Seller will identify the licenses included in the Nonassignable Assets and shall cooperate with and assist Buyer, at Buyer’s reasonable request and expense, to obtain licenses or arrangements to replace the licenses, services and assets provided with respect to any Nonassignable Asset.

Unless expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Intellectual Property License Agreement or in any Collateral Agreement, no title, right or license of any kind is granted to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Intellectual Property or Information owned or controlled by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, either directly or indirectly, by implication, by estoppel or otherwise.

2.7 Bulk Sales Law. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller and any Subsidiary with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction (collectively, the “Bulk Sales Laws”), including Article 6 of the California Uniform Commercial Code, in each case that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer or a Buyer Designee.

2.8 Taxes

(a) Buyer and any Buyer Designee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration or any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Buyer or any Buyer Designee, as applicable, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. Such withheld amounts shall be paid to the applicable Governmental Body.

(b) The payment for any sales, use, transfer, conveyance, stamp, registration, documentary, filing, recording, or similar fees or Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities to and by, respectively, Buyer and Buyer Designees pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller or its Subsidiaries when due.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Taxes that are Value Added Taxes, imposed on assets sold and fully recoverable by Buyer or Buyer Designee shall be borne solely by Buyer or Buyer Designees but only to the extent that a duly issued invoice has been provided by Seller or a Subsidiary, which invoice may be subject to adjustment following the completion of the Asset Level Allocation Statement. Any other Value Added Taxes imposed on assets sold shall be borne by Seller or its Subsidiaries. In the case and to the extent of value added and similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that are recoverable by Buyer or a Buyer Designee, such Taxes shall be properly invoiced by Seller or its Subsidiaries to Buyer or Buyer Designee, as applicable, paid by Buyer or Buyer Designee to Seller or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and remitted by Seller or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with applicable Law, and Buyer or Buyer Designee shall be entitled to such recovery. The Party prescribed by Law as primarily liable for the payment of such Value Added Taxes shall prepare all necessary documents (including all Returns) with respect to all such amounts in a timely manner.

-23-

(d) All real property Taxes (if any), personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations (“Property Taxes”) levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days of such Straddle Period, and Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period within such Straddle Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period within such Straddle Period. Any refund, rebate, abatement or other recovery of Property Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Seller, and any refund, rebate, abatement or other recovery of Property Taxes attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Buyer. Upon receipt of any bill (or any refund, rebate, abatement, or other recovery) for such Property Taxes, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 2.8(d) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the Party owing it to the other within thirty (30) days after delivery of such statement. In the event that Buyer or Seller makes any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 2.8(d), the applicable Party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting Party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay when due all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(e) Following the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate as reasonably requested for the purpose of enabling the requesting Party to (i) make any election relating to Taxes, (ii) prepare Returns with respect to the Target Business or the Purchased Assets or (iii) to prepare for and defend audits or other Tax-related examinations by a Governmental Body with respect to the Target Business and the Purchased Assets.

2.9 Buyer Designee. The Parties agree that Buyer may assign the right to purchase certain of the Purchased Assets to one or more Buyer Designees or that one or more Buyer Designees may enter into a Collateral Agreement. Notwithstanding any such assignment or execution of a Collateral Agreement by a Buyer Designee, Buyer shall remain liable for, and any such assignment or execution shall not relieve Buyer of, its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Any reference to Buyer in this Agreement shall to the extent applicable also be deemed a reference to the applicable Buyer Designee, except where in context of this Agreement such use would not be appropriate.

After the Closing, Buyer and Seller agree to use the alternate procedure set forth in Rev. Proc. 2004-53 with respect to the Transferred Employees. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph is intended to modify or adjust the substantive liability of Buyer and Seller under this Agreement with respect to the Taxes described in this paragraph.

-54-

(b) Not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets and the covenant not to compete contained in Section 5.13 of this Agreement in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as applicable) and methodologies set forth on Schedule 5.3(b) (the “Asset Level Allocation Statement”). If within thirty (30) days of receiving the Asset Level Allocation Statement, Seller has not objected, the Asset Level Allocation Statement shall be final and binding and the Parties shall file their Returns consistently therewith. If within thirty (30) days Seller objects to the Asset Level Allocation Statement, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to resolve their differences during the following thirty (30) days and agree on a final Asset Level Allocation Statement (which, if agreed upon, shall be final and binding on the Parties for tax reporting purposes). If, after thirty (30) days, Seller and Buyer are unable to agree, each Party may file its Returns based on such Party’s own determination of the allocation of the Purchase Price so long as such determination is consistent with Schedule 5.3(b).

(c) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing upon receipt by Seller of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of Seller that reasonably may be expected to relate to or give rise to a lien on the Purchased Assets or the Target Business.

5.4 Business Employees

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall periodically (which shall be no less frequent than monthly) and on the day prior to the Closing Date deliver to Buyer updates to the information provided in Schedule 3.9(a)(i) to reflect changes to such schedule, to the extent conducted in compliance with Section 5.2(j).

(b) Buyer or any Buyer Designee shall make offers of employment, contingent on the Closing, to the Business Employees who are active Business Employees on the Closing Date (including anyone absent due to vacation, holiday, bereavement, jury duty leave or any similar short-term absence that does not affect the Business Employee’s status as an active employee, but not including any Inactive Employee). With respect to each Business Employee who is on a leave of absence, short-term or long-term disability leave, medical leave, military leave or any similar leave (an “Inactive Employee”) who returns to work within the later of 180 days after the Closing Date or such period required by applicable Law, Buyer or a Buyer Designee will make an offer of employment to such Inactive Employee with such offer to be on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 5.4. Seller shall bear no liability whatsoever for Buyer’s or Buyer Designee’s failure to offer employment or the timing of any offer of employment to any such Inactive Employee. Buyer’s or Buyer Designee’s offer of employment to each Business Employee in accordance with this Section 5.4 shall (i) be for a position that is substantially similar to the position held by such Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) provide for a base salary or wage rate, and a target bonus opportunity, in each case, that is equal to or greater than the base salary, wage rate and target bonus opportunity provided to such Business Employee in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) provide for employee benefits under the plans and arrangements provided by Buyer or a Buyer Designee to its similarly situated employees unless Buyer or a Buyer Designee is required by applicable Law or a Labor Agreement to assume or replicate any Business Employee Plan or any benefit provided thereunder, in which case Buyer or Buyer Designee shall provide such required benefits. Seller and any applicable Subsidiary shall cooperate and assist in facilitating Buyer’s or a Buyer Designee’s offers and will not take any action, or cause any of the Subsidiaries to take any action, which would impede or hinder or interfere or otherwise compete with Buyer’s or a Buyer Designee’s effort to hire any Business Employee. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall comply with all applicable Laws in connection with the transfer of the Business Employees to Buyer or a Buyer Designee, including with respect to notice and other procedural requirements. Seller and its applicable Subsidiaries will provide any and all information reasonably required by Buyer or a Buyer Designee in order for Buyer to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Business Employees. The Parties will enter into appropriate documentation for relevant jurisdictions outside the United States where necessary or appropriate for the transfer (or employment, where transfer is not available under applicable Law) by Buyer or a Buyer Designee of any Business Employees. Each Business Employee who accepts Buyer’s or a Buyer Designee’s offer of employment and commences employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall, as of the effective date of their employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee, be referred to as a “Transferred Employee.” Employment of Transferred Employees with Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall be effective as of the Closing Effective Time, except that the employment of Transferred Employees in a jurisdiction with a delayed closing and employment of an Inactive Employee who becomes employed by Buyer or a Buyer Designee after the Closing Effective Time will become effective as of the date they present themselves for work with Buyer or a Buyer Designee or such other date as is prescribed by applicable Law or an agreement of Seller and Buyer (or a respective designee), and such individual shall be deemed to be a Transferred Employee as of such date, and for purposes of this Agreement, such date shall be substituted for the terms “Closing” or “Closing Date” respectively, except where the context requires otherwise.

-55-

(c) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize each Transferred Employee’s service with Seller or a Subsidiary prior to the Closing, including service with predecessor employers that was recognized by Seller or a Subsidiary, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting in each employee benefit plan of Buyer or a Buyer Designee, including but not limited to any vacation plans and severance plans, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provided that such service shall not be recognized to the extent such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and the Buyer Designees shall not be required to provide credit for such service for benefit accrual purposes under any employee benefit plan of Buyer or the Buyer Designee that is a defined benefit plan or a retiree health or similar post-retirement welfare benefit plan unless required by applicable Law or any Labor Agreement. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Transferred Employee credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid by such Transferred Employee under the Seller’s (or a Subsidiary’s) health plans from January 1 of the plan year during which the Closing occurs through the Closing Date. In addition, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive all pre-existing condition exclusions and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any health and welfare plans offered to each Transferred Employee to the extent such Transferred Employee had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Business Employee Plan prior to the Closing Date.

-56-

(d) Effective as of the Closing, Seller or the applicable Subsidiary will terminate the employment of any Business Employee that is offered employment in accordance with Section 5.4(b) above and rejects such offer of employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee, unless applicable Law restricts or penalizes such termination and Seller or a Subsidiary is able to reassign such employee to another position.

(e) Other than as described on Schedule 5.4(e), Transferred Employees will not be eligible for any severance benefits under the terms of any Benefit Plan.

(f) Effective as of the Closing and except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4(f), Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations and liabilities with respect to the Rollover PTO shall be transferred to and assumed by Buyer or a Buyer Designee, and Buyer shall or shall cause the Buyer Designee to recognize and provide all such Rollover PTO and allow each Transferred Employee to use such Transferred Employee’s Rollover PTO in accordance with Buyer’s or the Buyer Designee’s policies relating to vacation and other paid time off. Any such Rollover PTO shall be available for Transferred Employee use in addition to Buyer’s or Buyer Designee’s customary vacation and other paid time off allowances provided to new employees. To the extent that the transfer and assumption of the Rollover PTO with respect to any Transferred Employee is not permitted by applicable Law, Seller shall satisfy such accrued obligations on or as soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date and such amounts shall not be included in the Rollover PTO.

(g) Seller and Buyer shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate so that, effective as of the Closing Date or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, (i) the account balances (whether positive or negative) (the “Transferred FSA Balances”) under the applicable health and dependent care flexible spending account plans of Seller or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Seller FSA Plan”) of the Transferred Employees who are participants in the Seller FSA Plan shall be transferred to one or more comparable plans of Buyer or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer FSA Plan”), (ii) the Buyer FSA Plan will honor and continue through the end of the plan year of the Seller FSA Plan in which the Closing Date occurs the elections made by each Transferred Employee under the Seller FSA Plan that are in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) such Transferred Employee shall be reimbursed from the Buyer FSA Plan for claims incurred at any time during the plan year of the Seller FSA Plan in which the Closing Date occurs that are submitted to the Buyer FSA Plan from and after the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the amount of the Transferred FSA Balances is determined, Seller shall pay Buyer the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is positive, and Buyer shall pay Seller the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is negative.

(h) Except as otherwise explicitly provided in Section 5.4(g) or this Section 5.4(h), nothing in this Agreement shall result in Buyer or its Affiliates assuming or having any liability or obligation under or in relation to any Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, employee plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement of Seller or its Subsidiaries (the “Seller Plan Liabilities”) and Seller and its Subsidiaries shall retain, shall satisfy as and when due, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from and against, all Seller Plan Liabilities, regardless of when such Seller Plan Liabilities arise, are incurred or are disclosed; provided that, if and solely to the extent that Buyer and/or a Buyer Designee is required by applicable Law or by the terms of any union, collective bargaining or other similar labor agreement (including any agreement with any works council, labor or trade union or other similar labor-relations entity) to assume or replicate any Benefit Plan or any benefit provided thereunder for a Transferred Employee (as set forth on Schedule 5.4(h), the “Assumed Plan Liabilities”), to the extent that such Benefit Plan is funded or secured by an insurance policy, Seller shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) to Buyer or a Buyer Designee on or as soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date (i) assets in an amount not less than the amount of the Assumed Plan Liabilities (including with respect to benefits not then vested), with the amount of such Assumed Plan Liabilities to be determined based on reasonable actuarial assumptions on a going concern or, if greater, a plan termination or liquidation basis, or (ii) an insurance policy with respect to Assumed Plan Liabilities that are fully secured by such insurance policy (such assets or insurance policies, the “Assumed Plan Assets”). The obligations described in this Section 5.4(h) shall not be subject to any limitations on indemnification that may otherwise be set forth in this Agreement unless Seller or its Subsidiary has transferred to Buyer or a Buyer Designee assets in an amount not less than the amount of the Assumed Plan Liabilities and/or an insurance policy or policies that fully secure the Assumed Plan Liabilities.

-57-

(i) The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to determine whether any notification may be required under the WARN Act as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided, however, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to hire a sufficient number of employees so that Seller shall not be required to give any layoff, closing or other termination notices or otherwise incur any liability pursuant to the provisions of the WARN Act. Seller will be responsible for providing any notification that may be required under the WARN Act with respect to any of its employees terminated on or prior to Closing. Buyer will be responsible for providing any notification that may be required under the WARN Act with respect to any Transferred Employees terminated after the Closing Date. In addition, Seller shall, at its own expense, give all notices and other information required to be given by Seller to the Business Employees pursuant to COBRA, in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall be solely responsible for providing continuation coverage under the COBRA.

(j) No provision of this Section 5.4 shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any Business Employee or former employee in respect of continued or resumed employment in Seller’s business, or with Buyer, and no provision of this Section 5.4 shall create any rights in any such persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided under any plan or arrangement which may be established by Buyer. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and Seller, Buyer and their Affiliates shall take no action that would have the effect of requiring, Seller, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates to continue any specific Benefit Plan. The provisions of this Section 5.4 are for the sole benefit of Seller and Buyer and nothing in this Section 5.4, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to constitute an amendment of any Benefit Plan or any similar benefit plan of Buyer (or an undertaking to amend any such plan) or other compensation and benefits plan maintained for or provided to Business Employees, including Transferred Employees, prior to, on or following the Closing.

(k) To the extent to which a Transferred Employee would be in breach of any obligation owed to Seller or one of its Affiliates by reason of becoming employed by Buyer or a Buyer Designee (for example, a noncompete obligation), Seller and its Affiliates will waive such obligation.

-58-

(l) Subject to Applicable Law, nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or a Buyer Designee to employ any Business Employees, or to employ any Transferred Employee on anything other than an at-will basis, terminable at any time with or without cause (in jurisdictions where such a concept is recognized).

(m) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer with the transfer of visas or work permits related to the Transferred Employees.

5.6 Leased Equipment. Promptly after the date hereof, Seller shall provide Buyer with the costs and other terms applicable to the Leased Equipment and Buyer shall decide (in its sole discretion) whether such Leased Equipment will (a) transfer to Buyer or a Buyer Designee as of the Closing Date by Buyer or a Buyer Designee assuming the leases for such equipment, (b) become the property of Buyer or a Buyer Designee as of the Closing Date by Buyer or a Buyer Designee paying for the costs of purchasing such vehicles pursuant to the leases (the “Purchased Leased Equipment”), or (c) remain the property of Seller or a Subsidiary as of the Closing Date (the “Excluded Leased Equipment”).

Each Party agrees to inform promptly the other Party of any communication made by or on behalf of such Party to, or received by or on behalf of such Party from, the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other state, foreign, or multinational Governmental Body regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with the receipt of any necessary approvals or clearances of a Governmental Body (including under the HSR Act), it is expressly understood and agreed that (i) neither Buyer nor Seller (or any Affiliates of Buyer or Seller) shall have any obligation to litigate any judicial or administrative action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) neither Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer shall be required to agree to any license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, the Target Business or the Purchased Assets, or the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of Buyer and its Affiliates to conduct their businesses (including the Target Business), or to own or exercise control of any such assets, properties and stock (including the Purchased Assets).

5.8 Contacts with Suppliers and Customers

In contemplation of the Closing, Seller shall permit Buyer to discuss and meet, and shall reasonably cooperate in such discussions and meetings, with any customer or supplier of the Target Business that the Buyer so requests. Buyer shall notify Seller of any discussions or meetings with any customer or supplier of the Target Business.

Seller will be responsible for contacting parties to any Transferred Contracts for which consent is required in connection with their assignment pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) Buyer and Seller agree as follows:

(i) Except as provided below or in the Transition Service Agreement, after the Closing Date, Buyer and any Buyer Designee shall cease using Seller’s trade names and trademarks (the “Seller Name”) and any other trademark, design or logo previously or currently used by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Assigned Trademarks) in all invoices, letterhead, advertising and promotional materials, office forms or business cards. Seller shall, at Buyer’s expense, assist Buyer with its obligations under this Section 5.9(a)(i) by configuring and programming Purchased Assets used to generate letterhead, business cards, office forms, invoices or other documents and materials so that Buyer can comply with its obligations under this Section 5.9(a)(i);

For the purposes of this Section 5.13(a), ownership of securities of a company whose securities are publicly traded under a recognized securities exchange not in excess of one percent (1%) of any class of such securities shall not be considered to be competition with the Target Business, and a Person shall not be considered to be in the “primary business” of competing with the Target Business if such Person derives less than five percent (5%) of its revenues from products that compete with the Target Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the agreements and limitations set forth in this Section 5.13 shall not apply to any entity that acquires all or part of Seller or any of its Affiliates in any transaction.

-63-

(b) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in Section 5.13(a) constitute a material inducement to Buyer’s entering into and performing this Agreement.

It is the intention of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 5.13 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

5.14 Post-Closing Remittances. Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, if on or after the Closing Date, either Party receives a payment from a Third Party (including a customer of the Target Business) that, pursuant to the terms hereof, should have been paid to the other Party, the Party who receives the payment agrees to hold in trust and remit such payment to the Party entitled thereto within five (5) Business Days of such receipt.

5.15 Notification of Certain Matters. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 11 and the Closing Effective Time, Seller shall give prompt notice to Buyer upon becoming aware of any notification by a Governmental Body or any other Person to the Seller or any of its Affiliates alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement, the conditions to the obligations of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the Parties hereunder.

Whether or not the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim (as defined below), both Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith or as provided in Section 5.1.

-72-

(e) The amount of the Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Agreement shall be net of any applicable insurance proceeds (net of the costs of recovery thereof, any premium increases resulting therefrom and any Taxes on such insurance proceeds) actually received by the Indemnified Party that actually reduce the overall impact of the Losses upon the Indemnified Party. The Parties acknowledge the common law requirement to mitigate Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder, in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover all amounts payable from an insurer under existing insurance policies maintained by the Buyer. If an Indemnified Party receives any amount under any applicable insurance policy or indemnity, contribution or similar arrangements subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment (net of any premium increase or other out-of-pocket expense, including any deductible amounts or co-payments, incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount).

(f) The Indemnifying Party’s liability for all claims made under Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any Fundamental Representation or a claim involving fraud or intentional misrepresentation) shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for such claims until the aggregate amount of the Losses incurred shall exceed $4,375,000, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all Losses in excess of such amount and (ii) the Indemnifying Party’s aggregate liability for all such claims shall not exceed $12,000,000 (the “Cap Amount”). Buyer Indemnified Party Losses for breaches of Section 9.2(a)(ii) shall be limited to the Purchase Price actually received by Seller. For purposes of determining Losses in connection with any breach of any representation or warranty, no effect shall be given to any materiality or material adverse effect (including Seller Material Adverse Effect) qualification in the relevant representation or warranty.

(g) Each Buyer Indemnified Party shall seek to recover Losses in respect of any indemnification claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), Section 9.2(a)(ii) or Section 9.2(b) (i) first, from the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, if any and (ii) second, directly from the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9). All other Losses in respect of indemnification claims made by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be recovered directly from the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9); provided, that each Buyer Indemnified Party shall also be entitled to recover Losses from the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, in each case, as elected by such Buyer Indemnified Party.

(h) Notwithstanding the fact that the Indemnified Party may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of any Loss suffered by such Indemnified Party more than once (including a circumstance where the Indemnified Party shall have otherwise been fully reimbursed for such matter), regardless of whether such Loss may be as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, obligation or covenant or otherwise. In addition, any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability, or a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement, as applicable.

(i) The Indemnified Party may not make a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) after the Expiration Date (other than with respect to any Fundamental Representation or a claim involving fraud or intentional misrepresentation); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as such Indemnified Party shall have made an indemnification claim in good faith and with reasonable specificity before the Expiration Date in accordance with this Article 9, then such claim or right to indemnification shall survive indefinitely until such claim has been finally resolved.

-73-

(j) The indemnification provided in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date for damages available to the Parties to this Agreement for breach of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but not claims arising under any Collateral Agreement); provided, however, this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a Party from bringing any action (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, limit the amounts recoverable in any action) for (i) specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement or (ii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(k) No Party shall be liable to the other Party or any other Indemnified Party for any exemplary or punitive Losses (unless awarded in a Third Party Claim) pursuant to or arising out of an indemnification claim made under this Agreement.

(l) The representations, warranties and covenants of Seller, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by Buyer Indemnified Parties hereunder, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information (other than information in the Disclosure Schedules) furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their Representatives.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Article 9 shall limit the liability of any Party for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

9.3 Third Party Claims

(a) The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall promptly notify the Party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by any Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”), in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and shall give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control the settlement of any such Third Party Claim if and only if (i) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any and all damages, losses and liabilities arising out of such Third Party Claim, (ii) such Third Party Claim involves (and continues to involve) claims solely for money damages that would not be reasonably expected to exceed the amounts for which the Indemnified Party is obligated to indemnify, (iii) such Third Party Claim does not relate to and did not arise in connection with any criminal or governmental proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iv) such Third Party Claim does not involve a Top Customer or Top Supplier, (v) such Third Party Claim does not relate to Taxes of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, and (vi) such Third Party Claim would not be reasonably expected to result in a material adverse effect to the business or operations of Buyer or the Target Business if decided adversely to Buyer. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party exercises its right to control the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided above, each Party shall cooperate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and make available all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such Party’s possession and control relating thereto as is reasonably required in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim.

-74-

(b) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other is defending, as provided in this Agreement, excluding any Third Party Claims relating to Taxes of the Indemnified Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, consent to a settlement of, or consent to the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) such settlement or judgment relates solely to monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party has acknowledged and accepted full responsibility to indemnify the Indemnified Party, and (ii) the terms of the settlement include a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and all of its Affiliates in respect of the subject matter of such Third Party Claim and all related claims and damages arising therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement that (i) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action, or (ii) does not provide for a full and unconditional release by such Third Party of the Indemnified Party.

9.4 Indemnification Claim Procedures Generally. In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such indemnification claim to the Indemnifying Party (each such notice, a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure). Any Claim Notice shall specify the basis for such claim, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation thereof, all with reasonable particularity and shall contain a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such a claim shall be incurred. Such Claim Notice shall be given as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the basis for each such a claim. If the Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to any claim made by an Indemnified Party in any such Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party during the thirty (30)-day period commencing upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Notice. Such Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the Indemnified Party in the original Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party so contests such existence or amount of part or all of such Loss, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall work in good faith to resolve any dispute in respect of such Loss for a period of thirty (30) days, after which the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party may submit such dispute to any court of competent jurisdiction. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Indemnified Party prior to expiration of the thirty (30)-day period or if the matters set forth in such Claim Dispute Notice are resolved, then such Losses shall be recovered in accordance with Section 9.2(g). To the extent funds are to be released to a Buyer Indemnified Party from the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Buyer and Seller will direct the Escrow Agent by joint written instruction in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to release such amounts.

-75-

9.5 Release Procedures

(a) Promptly after the Expiration Date, Buyer will notify Seller in writing of the amount, if any, that Buyer determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all Claim Notices that have been asserted by Buyer Indemnified Parties, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern time on the Expiration Date (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Escrow Amount”). Within five (5) Business Days following the Expiration Date, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Indemnifying Parties an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the remaining amount of funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Account as of the Expiration Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) the Retained Escrow Amount.

(b) Following the Expiration Date, after resolution and payment of a Continuing Claim, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Account to Seller an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the amount held in the Indemnity Escrow Account as of the date of such resolution and payment minus (ii) the amounts that Buyer determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy any other Continuing Claims (which amounts will continue to be held in the Indemnity Escrow Account).

10. Miscellaneous Provisions

10.1 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made as follows (i) upon receipt, if mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; (ii) the time of delivery confirmation in the courier’s system, if sent designated for overnight delivery by globally recognized overnight delivery service (such as DHL or Federal Express), fee prepaid; (iii) upon confirmation of receipt, if sent by facsimile or e-mail or (iv) when delivered, if delivered personally, in each case addressed as follows or to such other address or addresses of which the respective Party shall have notified the other in accordance with this Section 10.1.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of each Party hereto. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any one or more provisions are deemed illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect unless the deletion of such provision shall cause this Agreement to become materially adverse to either Party, in which event the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrive at an accommodation that best preserves for the Parties the benefits and obligations of the offending provision.

-77-

10.5 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

10.6 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state and appellate court within the State of Indiana located in Indianapolis, Indiana, including the Indiana Commercial Courts (or, if any such court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Indiana sitting in Indianapolis, Indiana) in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Indiana for such persons and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and covenants not to assert or plead any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF A PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.7.

10.8 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.9 Public Announcement. The Parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be in the form mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. Seller shall not, and Seller shall cause each of its Representatives (and each of their respective Representatives) not to, directly or indirectly, issue any press release or other public statement (including through social media and other online platforms) relating to the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or use Buyer’s name or refer to Buyer directly or indirectly in connection with Buyer’s relationship with Seller in any media interview, advertisement, news release, press release or professional or trade publication, or in any print media, whether or not in response to an inquiry, without the prior written approval of Buyer, unless to the extent required by applicable Law, in which case Seller shall advise Buyer of any such requirement and the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable press release or other public statement to be issued. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, (i) Buyer may issue such press releases or make such other public statements regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby as Buyer may, in its reasonable discretion, determine, and (ii) Buyer may make public statements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including their effect on Buyer’s business and its, and its Affiliates’, financial projections, with investors and analysts, including on its periodic earnings calls and in any “road show,” and any public disclosure as required by the SEC, FINRA or other Governmental Body as Buyer may reasonably determine, in each case without any prior consultation with Seller.

-78-

10.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors or assigns any rights (including third party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or (b) constitute the Parties hereto as partners or as participants in a joint venture. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement shall not provide Third Parties with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving to any Business Employee, or any other individual, any right or entitlement to employment or continued employment or any right or entitlement under any Benefit Plan, policy or procedure maintained by Seller, except as expressly provided in such Benefit Plan, policy or procedure. No Third Party shall have any rights under Section 502, 503 or 504 of ERISA, any comparable applicable Law of any other jurisdiction, or any regulations thereunder because of this Agreement that would not otherwise exist without reference to this Agreement. No Third Party shall have any right, independent of any right that exists irrespective of this Agreement, under or granted by this Agreement, to bring any suit at Law or equity for any matter governed by or subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

11. Termination; Amendment and Waiver

11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by:

(a) Mutual Consent. The mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b) Failure of Buyer Condition. Buyer upon written notice to Seller if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment by the Termination Date and shall not have been waived in writing by Buyer;

(c) Failure of Seller Condition. Seller upon written notice to Buyer if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment by the Termination Date and shall not have been waived in writing by Seller;

(d) Court or Administrative Order. Buyer or Seller if (i) there shall be in effect a final, non-appealable order of a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction prohibiting, restraining, enjoining or otherwise making unlawful the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited; or

-79-

(e) Delay. Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the date that is twelve months from the date of the Binding LOI (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that if as of the Termination Date all conditions to this Agreement are satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing) or waived (where permissible pursuant to applicable Law), other than the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b), the Termination Date shall automatically be extended until the date that is not later than six months following the original Termination Date; it being understood that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(e) shall not be available to any Party whose action or failure to act (which action or failure to act constitutes a breach by such Party) has been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to have occurred prior to the Termination Date.

11.2 Effect of Termination

(a) Subject to Section 11.2(b), in the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.1, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any Party or its directors, officers or stockholders, except for the obligations of the Parties hereto as provided in Article 6 relating to the obligations of Buyer and Seller to keep confidential certain information, Section 10.2 relating to certain expenses, Section 10.9 relating to publicity, and this Section 11.2. Nothing in this Section 11.2 shall be deemed to release either Party from any liability for any material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder prior to termination or any fraud.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.2(a), in the event this Agreement is terminated by either the Buyer or Seller:

(i) pursuant to Section 11.1(d) (Court or Administrative Order) (to the extent relating to Antitrust Laws) and no material breach by the Seller of its obligations under Section 5.7 was a primary cause of the entry or occurrence of such order or Law; or

(ii) pursuant to Section 11.1(e) (Delay) and, at the time of such termination, (A) one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b) (Antitrust Laws) or Section 8.1(a) (Legal Proceeding) (to the extent relating to Antitrust Laws) was not satisfied, (B) all of the other conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 were satisfied or waived prior to the date of such termination (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination) and (C) no material breach by the Seller of its obligations under Section 5.7 was a primary cause of the failure to be satisfied of any of the conditions listed in this Section 11.2(b)(ii);

then, within two (2) Business Days following such termination, Buyer shall pay the Termination Fee to the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller.

-80-

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) in no event shall Buyer be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, (ii) the agreements set forth in this Section 11.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement and (iii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather represents liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller, in the circumstances in which such fee is due and payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. If Buyer fails to promptly pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the amounts due pursuant to Section 11.2(b) (any such amount due, a “Termination Payment”), and, in order to obtain such amounts, the Seller commences a proceeding that results in a judgment against the Buyer (or any portion thereof), the Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such proceeding, together with interest on such Termination Payment (or any portion thereof), as the case may be, at the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such amounts were required to be made from such date through the date of payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.2, (x) none of Buyer, any of its Affiliates (including any Buyer Designee) or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, affiliates or agents shall have any liability to Seller with respect to this Agreement, any other Collateral Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than the Termination Fee, and (y) recovery of the Termination Fee shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

11.3 Amendment and Waiver. The Agreement may be amended with respect to any provision contained herein at any time prior to the Closing Date by action of the Parties hereto taken by their Boards of Directors or by their duly authorized officers or employees, whether before or after such Party’s action. Any term or condition hereof may be waived and at any time prior to the Closing Date by the Party hereto which is entitled to the benefits thereof by action taken by its Board of Directors or its duly authorized officer or employee, whether before or after the action of such Party. Any such amendment or waiver shall be evidenced by a written instrument duly executed on behalf of each Party by its duly authorized officer or employee. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision nor shall it in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
