(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Purchaser assume or be liable for, and Purchaser will have no responsibility related to, any Liabilities of a Seller of any kind or nature, other than the Assumed Liabilities (all such Liabilities, other than Assumed Liabilities, collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). Sellers retain sole liability for all Excluded Liabilities and shall pay or otherwise fully discharge all Excluded Liabilities, including any Pre-Closing Taxes.
1.2 Purchase Price and Payment As consideration for the sale and contribution by the Sellers of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser, Purchaser shall (i) assume the Assumed Liabilities, (ii) pay to VI the aggregate amount of (a) $40,000,000 (the “Base Cash Amount”), less (b) $4,000,000 (the “Escrow Amount”), which Escrow Amount shall be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement entered into on the date hereof among VI, the Purchaser and U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”), the “Closing Date Cash Purchase

Price”), and (iii) pay to VI any Contingent Payments pursuant to Section 1.4 (such payments made to VI in the aggregate, the “Cash Consideration”).
1.3 Inventory Adjustment.
(a)Inventory Adjustment.
(i)Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to VI a statement (the “Inventory Statement”) setting forth its calculation of the book value of the Inventory calculated in accordance with GAAP as of the Closing Date (such value, the “Inventory Amount”).
(ii)The “Inventory Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Inventory Amount minus $1,097,366 (the “Target Inventory Amount”). If the Inventory Adjustment is a positive number, Purchaser shall pay to VI an amount equal to the Inventory Adjustment. If the Inventory Adjustment is a negative number, Seller and Purchaser shall immediately execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of the Inventory Adjustment out of the Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement).
(b)Examination and Review.
(i)Examination. After receipt of the Inventory Statement, VI shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Inventory Statement. During the Review Period, VI shall have reasonable access to the relevant books and records of Purchaser, the personnel and Representatives of, and work papers prepared by, Purchaser to the extent that they relate to the Inventory Statement as VI may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Inventory Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser.
(ii)Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, VI may object to the Inventory Statement by delivering to Purchaser a written statement setting forth VI’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for VI’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If VI fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Inventory Statement and the Inventory Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Inventory Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by VI. If VI delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser and VI shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Inventory Adjustment and the Inventory Statement, with such changes as agreed to in writing by Purchaser and VI, shall be final and binding.
(iii)Resolution of Disputes. If VI and Purchaser fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”; any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the Chicago, Illinois office of Grant Thornton LLP or, if Grant Thornton LLP is unable to serve, Purchaser and VI shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Inventory Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Inventory Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accounting Firm shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for the Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Inventory Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.
(iv)Fees of the Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by VI, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, as follows: (a) Purchaser shall pay a portion of such fees and expenses equal to the quotient of the amount awarded to VI by the Independent Accounting Firm out of the Disputed Amount, divided by the Disputed Amount; and (b) VI shall pay all such fees and expenses not required to be paid by Purchaser in subsection (a) hereof.
(v)Determination by the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts

and their adjustments to the Inventory Statement and/or the Inventory Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.
(vi)Payments of Inventory Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Inventory Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall be due (A) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Inventory Statement or (B) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (ii) above, or clause (v) above, as applicable. If Purchaser is required to pay the Inventory Adjustment, it shall be paid by Purchaser to VI by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by VI. If Seller is required to pay the Inventory Adjustment, Seller and Purchaser shall immediately execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of the Inventory Adjustment out of the Escrow Fund.
(vii)Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 1.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the amounts set forth in Section 1.2 by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law
1.4 Additional Payments.
(a)Contingent Payments. As additional consideration for the Transactions, but subject to the set-off rights of Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.4(e)(iii) and Section 4 hereof, if applicable, after the Closing, Purchaser may be required to make certain contingent payments (the “Contingent Payments”) to VI in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.4. The Contingent Payments shall include the First Sales Contingent Payment and the Second Sales Contingent Payment, but only to the extent that any of such payments becomes payable in accordance with this Section 1.4.
(b)First Sales Contingent Payment. Subject to the set-off rights of Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.4(f) and Section 4 hereof, if during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “Contingent Payment Period”), aggregate Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for such period determined as of the end of any calendar quarter exceed $15,000,000, Purchaser shall make a Contingent Payment (the “First Sales Contingent Payment”) in an amount (the “First Sales Contingent Payment Amount”) equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).
(c)Second Sales Contingent Payment. Subject to the set-off rights of Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.4(f) and Section 4 hereof, if, during the Contingent Payment Period, aggregate Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for such period determined as of the end of any calendar quarter exceed $20,000,000, Purchaser shall make a Contingent Payment (the “Second Sales Contingent Payment”) in an amount (the “Second Sales Contingent Payment Amount” and, together with the First Sales Contingent Payment Amount, the “Contingent Payment Amounts” and each, a “Contingent Payment Amount”) equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). For the avoidance of doubt, the Second Sales Contingent Payment is in addition to and not duplicative of the First Sales Contingent Payment, and the same amounts included in Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems shall apply for purposes of determining whether each milestone is achieved.
(d)Sales Contingent Payments.
(i)Sales Contingent Payment Certificates. Within forty-five (45) days following each calendar quarter during the Contingent Payment Period, Purchaser shall deliver to VI a certificate (each, a “Sales Contingent Payment Certificate”), setting forth Purchaser’s determination of the Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for each such calendar quarter and for the period beginning on the first day of the Contingent Payment Period and ending on the last day of such calendar quarter. Purchaser shall not be required to deliver a Sales Contingent Payment Certificate after the Second Sales Contingent Payment has been made.
(ii)Audit Rights; Objection Process. VI shall have a period of thirty (30) calendar days (the “Contingent Objection Period”) following the delivery of each Sales Contingent Payment Certificate in which to provide written notice to Purchaser of any objections thereto (the “Contingent Objection Notice”). During the Contingent Objection Period, Purchaser hereby grants VI and its accountants (subject to any such accountant executing a non-disclosure agreement in respect of confidential information with respect to such inquiry in customary form and substance) the right to examine the books and records

of the Purchaser of Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for the Contingent Payment Period, at the location of such records on prior written notice of at least three (3) days for the purpose of verifying the amount of Worldwide Net Sales for the Contingent Payment Period or applicable portion thereof with respect to which such Sales Contingent Payment Certificate has been delivered (the “Contingent Payment Audit”). For the purpose of conducting a Contingent Payment Audit, VI may hire, at its expense, an auditor or attorney of its choosing to assist in such examination. VI shall have access to such books and records during normal business hours commencing on the date on which access to such books and records is made available to VI and concluding upon the end of the Contingent Objection Period; provided, that any review of such books and records conducted on Purchaser’s premises shall be completed within fourteen (14) days from commencement of such review. Any Contingent Objection Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the specific item set forth on the Contingent Payment Certificate to which each such objection relates and the specific basis for each such objection. The Contingent Payment Certificate shall be deemed to be accepted by the Sellers, and shall become final and binding on the parties on the later of the expiration of the Contingent Objection Period or the date on which all objections have been resolved by the parties or the Independent Accounting Firm. If VI delivers any such Contingent Objection Notice within the Contingent Objection Period, then VI and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute concerning the item(s) subject to such Contingent Objection Notice. If VI and Purchaser do not resolve any dispute arising in connection with the calculations relating to the Contingent Payment Certificate within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of delivery of the Contingent Objection Notice, which thirty (30) calendar day period may be extended by written agreement of Purchaser and VI (such period, as it may be extended, the “Contingent Initial Resolution Period”), such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.4(d)(iii) below.
(iii)If VI and Purchaser have not been able to resolve a dispute arising in connection with the calculation of Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for the Contingent Payment Period or applicable portion thereof with respect to which such Sales Contingent Payment Certificate has been delivered, either party may submit such dispute to, and such dispute shall be resolved fully, finally and exclusively through the use of an Independent Accounting Firm. In connection with the dispute resolution process, each of VI and Purchaser shall provide to the Independent Account Firm its calculation of Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for the relevant calendar quarter, and the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by VI, on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser, on the other hand, unless the Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm are more than 20% more, or less, than the mid-point between the calculation provided by VI and the calculation provided by Purchaser; if the Worldwide Net Sales as determined by the Independent Account Firm are more than 20% more, or less, than such mid-point, all of the fees and expenses of the Independent Account Firm shall be paid by the party whose calculation was furthest from the Worldwide Net sales determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. Any dispute resolution proceeding shall be commenced within thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of the Contingent Initial Resolution Period. In the event that the Contingent Payment Audit results in an increase to Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for the Contingent Payment Period or applicable portion thereof with respect to which such Sales Contingent Payment Certificate has been delivered that exceeds ten percent (10%) of Purchaser’s determination of Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for such period as reflected in such Sales Contingent Payment Certificate, Purchaser shall additionally reimburse the reasonable third party fees and expenses of the Sellers related to the Contingent Payment Audit, otherwise the Sellers shall bear all of their fees and expenses related to the Contingent Payment Audit. The Independent Accounting Firm shall determine (and written notice thereof shall be given to VI and Purchaser) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) calendar days following its appointment, based solely on written submissions detailing the disputed items submitted to it by both parties, only (x) whether Purchaser's calculation of the Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for the Contingent Payment Period or portion thereof, as applicable, were accurate and prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (y) whether and to what extent (if any) the Worldwide Net Sales of the Systems for the Contingent Payment Period or portion thereof, as applicable, require adjustment, including the basis therefor, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make no other determinations or calculations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accounting Firm shall not be entitled to impose penalties or interest on any party. All

negotiations pursuant to this Section 1.4(d)(iii) shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable other Legal Requirements including state rules of evidence, and all negotiations, submissions to the Independent Accounting Firm, and dispute resolution proceedings under this Section 1.4(d)(iii) shall be treated as confidential information. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be bound by a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement. The procedures of this Section 1.4(d)(iii) are exclusive and, except as set forth below, the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The decision rendered pursuant to this Section 1.4(d)(iii) may be filed as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may seek specific enforcement or take other necessary legal action to enforce any decision under this Section 1.4(d)(iii). The other party's only defense to such a request for specific enforcement or other legal action shall be fraud by or upon the Independent Accounting Firm. Absent such fraud, such other party shall reimburse the party seeking enforcement for its expenses related to such enforcement.
(e)Purchaser’s Obligations.
(i)During the Contingent Payment Period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with Purchaser’s ordinary course of conduct to market and sell the Systems in those jurisdictions where they have been approved for sale; provided, that whether certain efforts by Purchaser are deemed to be “commercially reasonable” with respect to the Systems shall be determined in light of all relevant factors, taken as a whole, including but not limited to past sales and future market potential of the Systems (including reasonably anticipated and actual profit margin), the level of regulatory approval that may be available for the Systems (including but not limited to the extent of the indications for which the Systems have been approved), the level of reimbursement that is available for the Systems, the safety and efficacy of the Systems, the level of Intellectual Property protection of the Systems, the presence of third-party Intellectual Property, technology and products that may impact the marketability of the Systems, the effectiveness and pricing of alternative technologies on the market for the Systems, obsolescence of the Systems, changes in conditions in any market relevant to the manufacturing, marketing or sale of the Systems and related reimbursements, the presence or absence of particularly difficult manufacturing issues, and the likely availability and cost of necessary raw materials. For purposes of determining whether or not Purchaser is complying with its obligations under the first sentence of this Section 1.4(e), Purchaser’s marketing and sales efforts for the Systems shall be considered in the aggregate. Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 1.4(e) for any particular period unless (A) Purchaser’s marketing and sales efforts with respect to the Systems during such period, taken as a whole, are not commercially reasonable based upon the factors identified above, (B) the Seller Designee has reasonably identified to Purchaser by written notice the manner in which he or she believes the Purchaser’s marketing and sales efforts are not commercially reasonable, and (B) Purchaser’s marketing and sales efforts continue to not be commercially reasonable more than sixty (60) days following such written notice from the Seller Designee.
(ii)Without limiting the foregoing, during the Contingent Payment Period, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, take any actions in bad faith and in the sales and marketing of the Systems or the operation of the Purchaser, which are undertaken with the primary purpose of avoiding or delaying any Contingent Payments.
(iii)During the Contingent Payment Period, Purchaser shall designate an individual management employee representative who is associated with the marketing and sale of the Systems who will be available via telephone, video or in person conference with a designee of the Sellers, who initially shall be James (Chip) Draper (the “Seller Designee”) and who has signed a nondisclosure agreement in the form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, on a semiannual basis, to provide an update on progress toward the marketing and sale of the Systems, and who will provide such other relevant information related to the marketing and sale of the Systems during such update conference, as is reasonably requested by the Sellers’ designee. Any replacement designee of the Sellers shall be subject to the approval of Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(f)Right of Set-Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligation of Purchaser to make any Contingent Payment shall be subject to the right of Purchaser to reduce the amount of such Contingent Payment pursuant to Section 4. Except to the extent specifically provided in Section 4, there shall be no set-off.

(g)Payment of Contingent Payments.

If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party will not settle a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such

offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer (and fees and expenses incurred to date). If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).
(c)In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 4.4(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; provided that the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed by the Indemnifying Party), (ii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of such Third-Party Claim to the extent provided in this Section 4, and (iii) Indemnified Party shall retain all remedies to which it is entitled under this Section 4.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its discretion, to be responsible for the prosecution, defense and settlement of any Third-Party Claim if such Third-Party Claim seeks to impose any criminal penalty on the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party-Handled Claims”). The Indemnified Party shall pursue actively and diligently the prosecution, defense or settlement of all Indemnified Party-Handled Claims, through counsel of its selection, until such time, if any, that such Indemnified Party shall elect not to pursue indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party, upon its reasonable request, to participate in the process of any settlement or other resolution of any Indemnified Party-Handled Claims until such time, if any, that the Indemnified Party shall elect not to pursue indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim; provided, that such Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Indemnified Party-Handled Claims without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed by the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Damages of the Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnified Party-Handled Claims to the extent subject to indemnification under this Section 4, and the Indemnified Party shall retain all remedies to which it is entitled under this Section 4.
4.5 Payment of Claims . In the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party will advise the Indemnifying Party that is required to provide indemnification therefor in writing within 90 days of discovery of facts relad to such claim. If within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party has not contested such claim in writing, the Indemnifying Party will satisfy the full amount thereof, subject to the limitations on duration, amount and source of recovery set forth in Section 4.3, within ten days after the expiration of such period. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4 shall be deemed to require the Indemnified Party to obtain jurisdiction over the Indemnifying Party, or pursue any process in connection therewith beyond that expressly required by the terms of this Section 4. The parties agree that the payment of any indemnity hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration for Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.
4.6 Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees Other Than Purchaser . No Purchaser Indemnitee (other than Purchaser or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Purchaser (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy. No Seller Indemnitee (other than VI or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless VI (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.
4.7 Effect of Investigation . The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or

any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
4.8 Materiality . For purposes of this Section 4, the amount of any Damages for breach of a representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty (but not in determining whether there is a breach of any representation or warranty).
4.9 Sole Remedy. Except for fraud relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall not be subject to any limitations in this Section 4, Purchaser’s right to seek specific performance of Sellers’ obligations pursuant to Section 5.3, Section 5.4 and any other covenant, duty or obligation of Sellers that by their terms extend beyond the survival periods set forth in this Section 4 and the rights of Purchaser and Sellers under Section 1.3, the respective rights of the parties under this Section 4 shall be the sole and exclusive rights and remedies available to such parties with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, and each of the parties hereby absolutely agrees and covenants not to seek any remedy at law or equity relating to the Transactions other than pursuant to this Section 4.
4.10 Notice of Offset.
(a)Solely with respect to Damages under Section 4.2(a)(i) with respect to Section 2.9(d), Purchaser’s Offset Right shall be asserted by giving written notice to VI of a claim for indemnification in accordance with this Section 4, and including in such notice the estimated amount (the “Offset Amount”), of the Damages otherwise subject to indemnification hereunder (after application of any limits thereto) relating to such Claim actually incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred that will be subject to the offset right set forth herein (an “Offset Notice”).
(b)Offset Objection. VI may in good faith, at any time on or before the thirtieth (30 th) Business Day following its receipt of an Offset Notice (the “Offset Objection Period”), object to the Offset Amount provided in the Offset Notice by delivering written notice to Purchaser (an “Offset Objection”). The Offset Objection shall set forth in reasonable detail the good faith reasons for the objection to such Offset Amount. If VI does not timely deliver an Offset Objection, or deliver an Offset Objection that does not object to all of the Offset Amount set forth in the Offset Notice, VI shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the offset of all or such portion of the Offset Amount specified in the Offset Notice, provided, that any such acceptance of the Offset Amount shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of liability for the Damages included in such Offset Amount or the associated claim, and Sellers shall retain all of their rights under this Article 4 in respect of such matters. If VI timely deliver an Offset Objection, Purchaser and Sellers (or their respective representatives) shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to the disputed Offset Amount. If the parties are not able to fully resolve all such differences within thirty (30) days from Purchaser’s receipt of an Offset Objection, either Purchaser or VI may submit the dispute to arbitration by delivering written notice to the other party. The dispute will be finally settled by binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect if the amount in controversy is $250,000 or less). The arbitrator will be chosen in accordance with applicable JAMS rules and procedures then in effect. The arbitrator will determine, without actually determining the amount of Damages or whether any claim for indemnification is valid or reasonable, the maximum reasonable estimate of the amount of Damages (within any limits herein that may be applicable to the type of claim asserted by Purchaser) that have been incurred or that reasonably could be expected to be incurred in connection with such claim for indemnification that will be subject to the offset right set forth herein (such amount, the “Maximum Withheld Amount”). If the arbitrator determines that the Offset Amount is greater than the Maximum Withheld Amount, then Purchaser shall reduce the Offset Amount to the Maximum Withheld Amount. The arbitrator’s sole role will be to determine the Maximum Withheld Amount, and not Damages for which indemnification is being sought. The arbitrator will not issue a reasoned opinion with respect thereto. Purchaser and Sellers agree that the decision of the arbitrator will have no effect on the determination of the actual Damages for which indemnification is sought or allowed, and will not be admissible in any dispute with respect to the actual amount of Damage as evidence.

Any information owned by a party that is provided to a requesting party pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information. No party shall have any Liability to any other party in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Section 5.1 is found to be inaccurate. No party shall have any Liability to any other party if any information is destroyed or lost after commercially reasonable efforts by such party to retain such information in accordance with its regular document retention policy.

The Sellers may also disclose such materials and information only to the extent they are required by applicable Legal Requirements or Order to be disclosed, provided that the Sellers use commercially reasonable efforts to give Purchaser prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure and assist the Purchaser in obtaining an order or other appropriate remedy prohibiting or limiting such disclosure. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Sellers are nonetheless compelled to disclose such materials or information, the Sellers may disclose only that portion of such materials or information which Sellers are legally required to disclose, and Sellers will exercise commercially reasonable efforts, at the Purchaser’s expense, to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such material or information. Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Sellers for any reasonable expenses incurred by Sellers to obtain confidential treatment for such materials or information upon the Sellers submission of documentation evidencing such expenses.

The Sellers acknowledge that no specification in this Section 5.4(c) of a specific legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Section 5.4 by the Sellers.
5.5 Tax Covenants
(a)Purchaser and the Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon reasonable request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Purchaser or the Sellers, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Purchaser and Sellers shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Purchased Assets until the earlier of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

5.6 Further Actions ; Post-Closing Payments.
(a)General Assurances. In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties will cooperate with each other and use its reasonable efforts, after the Closing Date, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or appropriate on its part to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the execution and delivery of such other instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents and the performance of such other actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable to consummate and implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that all such actions are in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time, each Seller will execute and deliver such further instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents and perform such other actions, at Purchaser’s sole expense, as Purchaser may reasonably require to more effectively transfer to Purchaser any of the Purchased Assets. The obligations of each party under this Section 5.6(a) shall expire 12 months after the Closing Date.
(b)Payments. In the event that, on or after the Closing, either party receives payments or funds due or belonging to the other party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, then the party receiving such payments or funds shall promptly forward or cause to be promptly forwarded such payments or funds to the proper party (with appropriate endorsements, as applicable), and will account to such other party for all such receipts. The parties acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, there is no right of offset regarding such payments and a party may not withhold funds received from third parties for the account of the other party in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.6(b), each Seller agrees that Purchaser shall, following the Closing, have the right and authority to endorse any checks or drafts received by Purchaser in respect of any account receivable of the Business included in the Purchased Assets and such Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such evidence of this authority as Purchaser may reasonably request. Following the Closing, if Purchaser or its Affiliates receives any mail or packages addressed to a Seller and delivered to Purchaser not relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall promptly deliver (or cause to be delivered) such mail or packages to such Seller. Following the Closing, if any Seller receives any mail or packages delivered to such Seller

relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, such Seller shall promptly deliver (or cause to be delivered) such mail or packages to Purchaser.
(c)Accounts Receivable. Upon the reasonable request of Sellers, Purchaser will cooperate in good faith to provide to Sellers such information in the possession of Purchaser reasonably necessary to assist Sellers to collect accounts receivable of the Sellers that are Excluded Assets.

(d)Additional Actions. Sellers shall, as soon as reasonably practical after Closing, terminate any distribution agreements that are not Purchased Contracts, in accordance with the respective termination terms of such distribution agreements. If such distribution agreements are not immediately terminable, but require a notice period prior to termination, and if during such notice period Sellers are required to repurchase any inventory in connection with such termination, and only if such inventory has a shelf-life of not less than one (1) year and is saleable, Purchaser shall purchase such inventory from Sellers at the cost to Sellers of such repurchases. In addition, if Sellers are required by the express terms of such distribution agreements, or as a result of any negotiated compromise or settlement approved by Purchaser in advance (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to pay a termination fee in connection with the termination of any such distribution agreement, Purchaser and VI shall each be responsible for paying fifty (50%) of the respective termination fee, with Purchaser reimbursing VI any amounts fronted on Purchaser’s behalf in accordance with this Section 5.6(d).
(e) Purchaser and Sellers shall each designate an individual representative who will work together in good faith to accomplish the intent of this Section 5.6(d).
5.7 Employees and Employee Benefits.
(a)Offers of Employment. The Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser to make Business Employees reasonably accessible to Purchaser and to assist Purchaser in its efforts to make employment or consulting offers to such Business Employees that it desires to employ post-Closing. Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify the Sellers in writing of the names of all Business Employees to whom Purchaser wishes to make an offer of employment. Purchaser shall have the right to make such offers on such terms and conditions and in such classification (exempt vs. non-exempt or contractor vs. employee) as it deems appropriate. In connection with the Closing, each Business Employee to whom Purchaser offers employment and who become employees of Purchaser as of the Closing Date are referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Sellers shall waive and release any restrictive covenants otherwise applicable to Transferred Employees, and shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to transition such Transferred Employees to Purchaser. Sellers shall be solely responsible, and Purchaser shall have no obligations whatsoever for, any compensation or other amounts payable to any current or former employee, officer, manager, director, independent contractor or consultant of the Business, including, without limitation, hourly pay, commission, bonus, salary, accrued vacation, fringe, pension or profit sharing benefits or severance pay for any period relating to the service with Sellers at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall pay all such amounts to all entitled persons within the time required by applicable Legal Requirements.
(b)Service Credit. For purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser and its affiliates providing benefits to any Transferred Employee at any time after the Closing (the “New Plans”), each Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Sellers and their Affiliates (and any predecessors) before the Closing Date, to a similar extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, before the Closing to credit for such service under any comparable Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date.
(c)WARN. The Sellers agree to provide any required notice under and to otherwise comply with, and to retain all Liabilities relating to, the WARN Act, with respect to any event affecting Business Employees on or prior to the Closing (including as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but not in respect of any obligation triggered, in whole or in part, by terminations occurring). At the Closing, the Sellers shall notify Purchaser of any “employment loss” (as defined in the WARN Act) experienced by any Business Employee during the 90-day period prior to the Closing Date.
(d)No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 5.7 are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 5.7, express or implied, shall confer upon any employee, consultant, manager or other service provider (or any dependent, successor, legal representative or

beneficiary thereof), any rights or remedies, including any right to continuance of employment or any other service relationship with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any right to compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.7, express or implied, shall be: (i) an amendment or deemed amendment of any plan providing benefits to any employee, or (ii) construed to interfere with the right of Purchaser or its Affiliates to terminate the employment or other service relationship of any of the Transferred Employees at any time, with or without cause, or restrict any such entity in the exercise of their independent business judgment in modifying any of the terms and conditions of the employment or other service arrangement of the Transferred Employees, or (iii) deemed to obligate any Purchaser or its Affiliates to adopt, enter into or maintain any employee benefit plan or other compensatory plan, program or arrangement at any time.
5.8 No Additional Representations; Disclaimer.
(a)Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, nor any other Person acting on behalf such Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, has made any (and Purchaser and its Affiliates have not relied on any) representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding such Seller or any of its businesses or assets, except as expressly set forth in Article 2 of this Agreement.
(b)In connection with Purchaser’s investigation of Sellers, Purchaser may have received from or on behalf of Sellers certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of Sellers. Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make projections and other forecasts and plans, that Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts), and that Purchaser shall have no claim against any Seller or any other Person with respect thereto. Accordingly, no Seller makes any representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts), and Purchaser has not relied thereon.
