The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement and determining Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Indebtedness, the Spasticity Collaborative Adjustment Amount, Transaction Expenses, and the final Closing Consideration Amount under this Section 2.5 is to adjust for inaccuracies in the estimates in the amounts of Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses and to determine the final Closing Consideration Amount, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement or determining the amounts of Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses or the final Closing Consideration Amount. Notwithstanding any adjustment to the foregoing items under this Section 2.5, the Closing Statement will be deemed issued as of the Closing Date for purposes of the Accounting Principles and for purposes of determining the impact of any subsequent events on the Closing Statement. In



preparing the Closing Statement, no effect will be given to (i) the financing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the financing of transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any purchase accounting or other similar adjustments resulting from the consummation of such transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Spasticity Collaborative Adjustment Amount shall not be adjusted in connection with the foregoing adjustments to the Purchase Price.
Section 2.6    Disputes Regarding Closing Statement.
(a) During the sixty (60) day period following receipt of the Closing Statement (such period, the “Dispute Period”), Purchaser will provide to Seller such documents, books, records and work papers as Seller may reasonably request to review the Closing Statement. On or prior to the last day of the Dispute Period, Seller may provide written notice to Purchaser disputing the calculation of all or a part of the Closing Consideration Amount set forth in the Closing Statement (the “Dispute”), setting forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement with which Seller disagrees (the “Dispute Notice”). If Seller does not deliver to Purchaser the Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, then the Closing Statement will be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by Seller in the form in which it was delivered and will be final and binding on the Parties. If Seller delivers the Dispute Notice to Purchaser within the Dispute Period, then Purchaser and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Dispute Notice, provided that all such discussions will be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and the corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign Law. If Purchaser agrees with Seller’s calculation of the Closing Consideration Amount set forth in the Closing Statement, then Seller’s calculation of the Closing Consideration Amount set forth in the Dispute Notice will be final and binding upon the Parties.
(b)If Purchaser and Seller cannot reach agreement to resolve every element of the Dispute within such thirty (30) day period, then Purchaser and Seller will jointly engage an accounting expert to resolve the Dispute (the Person appointed pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), the “Accounting Expert”). The Accounting Expert will be (i) one or more independent members (having no conflict of interest) of the dispute resolution group of KPMG LLP, or (ii) if such Person refuses or is unable to accept such appointment, another nationally recognized certified public accounting firm mutually agreed between Seller and Purchaser, or (iii) if following such Person’s refusal or unacceptance, Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on such accounting firm, then either Purchaser or Seller may request that the CPR International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution appoint a certified public accountant (having no conflict of interest) who at the time is, or for at least five (5) years formerly was, a partner (or in a position of equivalent stature) in an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing, to serve as the Accounting Expert. Each of Seller and Purchaser will cooperate with the other Party and the Accounting Expert and use its reasonable efforts to complete the engagement of the Accounting Expert as promptly as possible.
(c)The Accounting Expert’s sole function will be to resolve each element of the Dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice not resolved by Purchaser and Seller (the “Disputed Elements”) as an accounting expert and not as an arbitrator, by determining in accordance with this Agreement and with the Accounting Principles, whether and to what extent, if any, the calculation of the Closing Consideration Amount set forth in the Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.5 requires adjustment with respect to such Disputed Elements and, if so, the amount of any such adjustment or adjustments.
(d)In resolving the Dispute, the Accounting Expert will limit its consideration to



(i) reviewing the Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice, as supplemented by written submissions of Seller and Purchaser, which may explain their respective positions, and (ii) conducting a conference at which each of Seller and Purchaser may present additional documents, materials, testimony and other information, and have present their respective advisors, counsel and accountants at the conference; provided that Purchaser and Seller will be limited by their positions set forth in the Closing Statement and Dispute Notice, respectively, and the written submissions or other materials submitted by Purchaser and Seller or presented at the conference may not raise any element that is not a Disputed Element. Any such conference may be held, in the discretion of the Accounting Expert, by telephone conference, videoconference or in person. The Accounting Expert may not conduct any independent investigation or review concerning the Disputed Elements or any other matter. Each of Seller and Purchaser will provide to the other Party and the Accounting Expert any documents, books, records and work papers as such Party or the Accounting Expert may reasonably request to review the Closing Statement and to resolve the Dispute.
(e) Purchaser and Seller will direct the Accounting Expert to as promptly as possible, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date of its engagement, render its decision on each Disputed Element in a writing to Purchaser and Seller setting forth a written statement of findings and conclusions, including a written explanation of its reasoning, a revised Closing Statement reflecting its decision and a revised calculation of the Closing Consideration Amount based on the information in the revised Closing Statement.
(f) The Accounting Expert will be bound by this Agreement and may not revise any element of the Closing Statement that is not disputed by the Parties or assign a value to any Disputed Element of the Closing Statement greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The process set forth in this Section 2.6 will be the exclusive remedy of the Parties for any Dispute. Each of the Accounting Expert’s decisions, the revised Closing Statement, and the revised calculation of the Closing Consideration Amount, absent fraud or manifest error, will be final and binding upon the Parties, and judgment may be entered on the award. The Accounting Expert may not and will not have authority or jurisdiction to resolve or decide any matter or dispute other than, as provided in and in accordance with this Section 2.6, resolving the Dispute by determining whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Statement and resulting calculation of the Closing Consideration Amount should be revised with respect to any elements or amounts of the Closing Statement subject to the Dispute. Any other dispute or matter arising under or with respect to this Agreement (including any dispute over whether any claim, issue, element or amount is within the authority of the Accounting Expert to determine) will be reserved for and determined by a court specified in Section 13.15.
(g) Seller and Purchaser will share the fees and expenses of the Accounting Expert in inverse proportion to the relative amounts subject to the Dispute determined in favor of such Party, in accordance with the following formulas: (i) Purchaser will pay a portion of such fees and expenses equal to the total fees, costs and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved in favor of Seller and the denominator of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute, and (ii) Seller will pay a portion of such fees, costs and expenses equal to the total fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved in favor of Purchaser and the denominator of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Purchaser and Seller will pay the fees, costs and expenses of their respective attorneys, accountants and other representatives in connection with the Dispute.



Section 2.7    Additional Consideration.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7, Seller may be entitled to additional consideration (the “Additional Consideration”) for the Shares, not to exceed $70,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Additional Consideration Cap”) upon the achievement of one or more of the Milestone Thresholds during the Milestone Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Consideration Cap shall only apply to the Additional Consideration, if any, payable in accordance this Section 2.7, and shall not limit the amount of any other payments that may become due or payable to Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 7.7) or any other Transaction Document. The Additional Consideration, if any, will be calculated as follows:
(i)If Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during any Milestone Year equals or exceeds the First Milestone Threshold (but does not equal or exceed any higher Milestone Threshold), then, subject to Section 2.7(a)(iv), Seller shall be entitled to receive the First Milestone Payment with respect to such Milestone Year.
(ii)If Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during any Milestone Year equals or exceeds the Second Milestone Threshold (but does not equal or exceed any higher Milestone Threshold), then, subject to Section 2.7(a)(iv), Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Second Milestone Payment with respect to such Milestone Year.
(iii)If Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during any Milestone Year equals or exceeds the Third Milestone Threshold, then, subject to Section 2.7(a)(iv), Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Third Milestone Payment with respect to such Milestone Year.
(iv)If Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during any single Milestone Year equals or exceeds the sum of any two or more Milestone Thresholds (to the extent a corresponding Milestone Payment has not already been earned), then the highest applicable Milestone Payment shall be paid with respect to such Milestone Year in accordance with this Section 2.7; provided that (x) each Milestone Payment may be earned only once (whether or not multiple Milestone Payments are earned in any single Milestone Year), and (y) in no event will the Milestone Payments, in the aggregate, exceed
$70,000,000.
(v)By way of example only, if Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2027 calendar year is equal to $75,000,000 and Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2028 calendar year is equal to $49,000,000, then Purchaser would pay Seller the Third Milestone Payment with respect to calendar year 2027 and no Milestone Payment would be payable with respect to calendar year 2028.
(vi)By way of another example, if Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2027 calendar year is equal to $65,000,000, Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2028 calendar year is equal to $55,000,000, and Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2029 calendar year is equal to $70,000,000, then Purchaser would pay Seller: the Second Milestone Payment with



respect to calendar year 2027; the First Milestone Payment with respect to calendar year 2028; and the Third Milestone Payment with respect to calendar year 2029.
(vii)By way of another example, if Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2027 calendar year is equal to $65,000,000, Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2028 calendar year is equal to $75,000,000, Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2029 calendar year is equal to $45,000,000 and Net Revenue from the sale of Business Products during the 2030 calendar year is equal to $55,000,000, then Purchaser would pay Seller: the Second Milestone Payment with respect to calendar year 2027; the Third Milestone Payment with respect to calendar year 2028; and the First Milestone Payment with respect to calendar year 2030. No Milestone Payment would be payable with respect to calendar year 2029.
(viii)In no event may more than one Milestone Payment be earned in any single Milestone Year.
(b)Within forty five (45) days after the end of each Milestone Year during the Milestone Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written statement (a “Milestone Statement”) prepared in accordance with this Section 2.7, setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Net Revenue for such period and the resulting Milestone Payment due, if any, under this Section 2.7, together with a reconciliation of any Milestone Payments previously paid to Seller during such Milestone Year, and delivered with reasonable supporting detail with respect to the calculation of each of the components of Net Revenue (including, without limitation, Net Revenue by quarter, sales by SKU, a gross-to-Net Revenue reconciliation of total revenues, Net Revenue by region, and volumes by SKU and region but excluding country-level sales data and customer-level information (the “Supporting Detail”)). Net Revenue shall be determined from Purchaser’s and its Affiliate’s (including the Company’s) books and records in accordance with Purchaser's revenue recognition policies. In addition, within fifteen (15) days after the end of each of (i) the third quarter of each Milestone Year and (ii) the fourth quarter of each Milestone Year, Purchaser shall deliver a written statement setting forth the aggregate amount of year-to-date Net Revenue for such Milestone Year, delivered with reasonable supporting detail (each a “Flash Report”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Flash Reports will be delivered for informational purposes only and that the information in the Flash Report delivered for any fourth quarter of a Milestone Year will be superseded by the Milestone Statement, when issued; provided, for clarity, that nothing in this sentence shall limit, modify or impair Seller’s rights with respect to the review, dispute or final determination of any Milestone Statement.
(c)As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days following delivery by Purchaser of a Milestone Statement (the “Review Period”), Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller accepts or disputes the accuracy of the items contained in such Milestone Statement. In the event Seller disputes the accuracy of any items contained in the Milestone Statement, Seller shall, no later than the end of the Review Period, deliver written notice to Purchaser of any such good faith disagreement that Seller has with respect to the contents of the Milestone Statement (each, a “Milestone Dispute Notice”). The Milestone Dispute Notice shall explain, in reasonable detail, the basis for such disagreement. During the Review Period, (i) Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the relevant books and records of the Business for the purpose of Seller’s review of the Milestone Statement and (ii) upon Seller’s reasonable request, Purchaser shall make available personnel responsible for preparing, or qualified and knowledgeable regarding, the calculations set forth in any Milestone Statement or Flash Report to meet with Seller or its representatives and discuss such calculations and the supporting detail



delivered in connection therewith. If Seller does not deliver a Milestone Dispute Notice within the Review Period, such Milestone Statement shall be deemed final, conclusive, and binding on the Parties.
(d)If Seller delivers a Milestone Dispute Notice within the Review Period, then Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreement. If Purchaser and Seller, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve a disagreement within thirty (30) days after Seller’s delivery of a Milestone Dispute Notice, then the dispute shall be submitted for resolution to the Accounting Expert in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.6, mutatis mutandis. The Milestone Statement (as modified by the Accounting Expert) shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Parties hereto.
(e)The Milestone Payments subject to a Milestone Dispute Notice will be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller within five (5) Business Days after the determination of such Milestone Payment becomes final and binding upon the Parties as provided in this Section 2.7.
(f)During the Milestone Period, Purchaser will, and will cause each of its Affiliates to, (i) not act or fail to act with the primary purpose of undermining the achievement of the Milestone Payments contemplated hereby, including by reducing the Net Revenue or Milestone Payments, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) process in Europe for the Business Products, including pursuing CE marking certification for such products; provided, that, other than with respect to the obligations of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, Purchaser shall have sole and full discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Business following the Closing.
(g)In the event Purchaser or any of its Affiliates sells, transfers, or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the Business or the assets of the Business (whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, or otherwise) to any third party (a “Business Transfer”) prior to the payment in full of all Milestone Payments that have been earned or may be earned hereunder, then (i) Purchaser shall require, as a condition to the consummation of such Business Transfer, that the acquiror or transferee expressly assume in writing all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 2.7 with respect to any unpaid Milestone Payments (whether or not yet earned), on terms no less favorable to Seller than those set forth herein, and (ii) in the event such acquiror or transferee does not assume such obligations in full, all Milestone Payments that have not yet been earned shall be deemed earned and shall become immediately due and payable to Seller upon the closing of such Business Transfer.
(h)Once per Milestone Year, the Seller (or its designated representative) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice, to inspect Purchaser’s (or an applicable Affiliate’s) books and records relating to the calculation of Net Revenue and each component thereof (including, without limitation, the Supporting Detail), with such inspection to be conducted during normal business hours and at the Seller’s expense. Any inspection permitted under this Section 2.7(h) is strictly limited to reviewing only the documents necessary to verify the accuracy of the calculation of Net Revenue and each component thereof. Such inspection rights do not include, and shall not be construed to include, any right to evaluate, assess, opine upon, or determine Purchaser’s business judgment, commercial decisions, pricing strategy, sales practices, customer relationships, operation or management of the business, or any matter other than the calculation of Net Revenue and the resulting Milestone Payment, if any.
(i)Purchaser has neither furnished nor provided, whether written or oral, any assurances or commitments regarding the achievability of the Milestone Payments or the likelihood thereof and



Seller acknowledges that there is no assurance that Seller will earn any portion of the Milestone Payments and the Parties solely intend the express provisions of this Agreement to govern their contractual relationship. Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller for any incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of the failure to satisfy conditions to the payment of any part of the Milestone Payments, whether liability is asserted in tort or contract, or otherwise. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have the right to operate the Business in accordance with their own commercially reasonable discretion and Purchaser is under no obligation to provide any specific level of investment or financial assistance to the Business. Seller further acknowledges that the payment of any Milestone Payments is speculative and subject to, among other things, the future performance of the Business, which cannot be predicted with accuracy. Accordingly, Purchaser makes no representations, warranties, covenants or guaranties as to the future performance of the Company or the likelihood of any Milestone Payments.
(j)Seller understands and agrees that: (i) the contingent right to receive any portion of the Milestone Payments shall not be represented or memorialized by any form, certificate or other instrument and does not constitute an equity or ownership interest in the Company, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, is not transferrable, except by operation of Law or pursuant to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar transaction, and any other attempted transfer shall be null and void; and (ii) Seller shall have no rights as a security holder in the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates solely as a result of Seller’s contingent right to receive any Milestone Payment hereunder.
(k)Any Additional Consideration paid hereunder shall be treated for all purposes as part of the Share Purchase Price.
Section 2.8    Closing Deliveries. At or before the Closing, the Parties will deliver the documents and instruments that are set forth in this Section 2.8.
(a)Subject to the delivery of the items set forth in Section 2.8(b), at or before the Closing, Purchaser will execute or deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Company the following:
(i)evidence that, concurrently with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser has initiated the payments required under Section 2.3(c);

(b) Subject to the delivery of the payments set forth in Section 2.3(c) and the items set forth in Section 2.8(a), at the Closing, Seller or the Company, as applicable, will execute or deliver to Purchaser (or any other Person that is indicated below) all of the following:

(xi)a certificate executed by an officer of the Company to the effect that the conditions set forth in Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) have been satisfied with respect to the Company.

Section 2.9 Withholding Rights. The Company, Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Withholding Agents”) may deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as such Withholding Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other Tax Law; provided that, with respect to any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement after the Closing Date that is not treated as compensation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, each applicable Withholding Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Seller of any amounts subject to deduction or withholding at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment thereof; provided further, however, that no failure of a



Withholding Agent in providing such notice to Seller shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. And Purchaser and the applicable Withholding Agent will reasonably cooperate with Seller and the affected payee to minimize or eliminate any such deduction or withholding to the extent permissible pursuant to applicable Law. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld by a Withholding Agent and properly and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts will be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made. Purchaser will promptly furnish to Seller and the applicable payee evidence of the payment to the applicable Governmental Authority of any amount deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.9.
Section 2.10 Allocation of Asset Purchase Price and Share Purchase Price. Seller and Purchaser agree to allocate the Asset Purchase Price and, in the event the Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, the Share Purchase Price (and, in each case, other relevant items of consideration paid to Seller) among the Purchased Assets and, if applicable, the assets of the Company, for all tax purposes in accordance with the methodology for allocation provided on Schedule 2.10 attached hereto (the “Allocation Methodology”). Within ninety (90) days after determination of the Closing Consideration Amount pursuant to Section 2.4, Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a statement allocating the Purchase Price (including those Assumed Liabilities that are Liabilities for Tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets and, if applicable, the assets of the Company, in accordance with the Allocation Methodology (the “Allocation”). The Parties agree that the Allocation shall be modified to reflect any adjustments made pursuant to this Agreement or the payment of any indemnification claims pursuant to Article XII as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Sellers in good faith (and, if applicable, consistent with the prior allocation of similar items). If Seller disagrees with any items reflected in the Allocation, Seller shall notify Purchaser within thirty (30) days of receiving the Allocation of such disagreement and its reasons for so disagreeing, in which case the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable best efforts to resolve any disputed items prior to the finalization of the Allocation. In the event the Seller and the Purchaser cannot agree on the Allocation, Seller and Purchaser shall each determine their own allocation of the Asset Purchase Price (and other relevant items) for applicable Tax purposes and shall not be bound by the Allocation. To the extent that the Parties agree on the Allocation, (a) the Parties shall file all Tax Returns (including IRS Forms 8594 and 8883, if acceptable, amended returns and claims for refunds) in a manner consistent with the Allocation, including any adjustments to such Allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.10, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to sustain such Allocation in any subsequent Tax audit or dispute, and (b) no party (and none of their respective Affiliates) will take any Tax position inconsistent with the Allocation on any Tax Return or otherwise, except as otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code or any similar provision of any state, local or non-U.S. Law.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER REGARDING THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASED ASSETS

Seller makes the representations and warranties regarding the Company and the Purchased Assets set forth in this Article III on the date hereof and on the Closing Date.
Section 3.1 Organization, Existence and Good Standing. The Company is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has full corporate power and authority to own all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as



presently conducted and is qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing (where applicable) in all jurisdictions where the nature of its business or the nature and location of its assets or Personnel requires such qualification and where the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.2 Power and Authority, Authorization and Execution. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is, or at the Closing will be, a party. The execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is, or at the Closing will be, a party by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been, or prior to the Closing will have been, duly and validly approved by the board of directors of the Company. No other approvals or actions are necessary on the part of the Company to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is, or at the Closing will be, a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Company.
Section 3.3     Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (assuming that this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the other Persons party thereto), except to the extent enforcement may be affected by Laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and creditors’ rights and by the availability of injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies (collectively, “Enforceability Exceptions”). At the Closing, the Transaction Documents to be executed and delivered by the Company at the Closing will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms (assuming that the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party will be duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the other Persons party thereto), except to the extent enforcement may be affected by Enforceability Exceptions.
Section 3.4    Consents; Non-Contravention.
(a)Except as set forth on Section 3.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, neither Seller, nor the Company is required to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, Order or approval of any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is, or at the Closing will be, a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, except for any such notice, filing, authorization, consent, Order or approval as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)Assuming that all notices, filings, authorizations, consents, Orders and approvals contemplated by Section 3.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule have been duly made or obtained, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company or Seller is, or at the Closing will be, a party, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein: (a) will violate any provision of the Governing Documents of the Company; (b) will conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default or an event creating rights of acceleration, termination, modification, or cancellation, or a loss of rights under, any Material Contract;
(c) will violate any material Law or material Order to which the Company, Seller or any of the Company’s or Seller’s assets are subject or otherwise bound; or (d) will result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon the Company or Seller, or any of the Company’s or Seller’s assets, except, in the case of clauses (b), (c) and (d) above, for any such conflict, breach, default, event, loss, violation, creation or imposition as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.



For the avoidance of doubt, given that the certificates allowing the CE marking of the Business Products are Excluded Assets, in order to operate the Business, Purchaser will need to independently obtain its own certificates (declarations of conformity and certificates issued by a competent Notified Body, all as applicable) relating to the CE marking of products aimed at the European Union market or other markets that recognize the authority of the CE marking.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to any notices, filings, authorizations, consents, Orders, approvals, Permits, registrations, certifications, designations or appointments that may be required in connection with Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ operation of the Business following the Closing, including any such requirements relating to European regulatory matters (including the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) process or CE marking certification for the Business Products), all of which are expressly disclaimed.

Section 3.5    Capitalization.
(a)The ownership of the Company is represented by the Shares and all of the Shares are held by Seller. Other than the Shares, there are no Equity Securities of the Company authorized, issued, or outstanding. All of the Shares have been validly issued and there are no unsatisfied capital commitments in respect thereof. Except for its Governing Documents, the Company is not a party to any agreements with respect to the voting, ownership or transfer of any Shares. Upon the Closing, the Shares will be delivered to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens (other than any Liens which may result from any actions taken by Purchaser or arising under any applicable securities Laws or the Governing Documents of the Company).
(b)The Company does not directly or indirectly hold or beneficially own any Equity Securities in any Person.
(c)The Company has furnished to Purchaser complete, current and accurate copies of all Governing Documents of the Company as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. The Governing Documents of the Company are in full force and effect, and no other Governing Documents are applicable to or binding upon the Company. The Company is not in violation of its Governing Documents in any material respect.
Section 3.6    Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities
(a)Section 3.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth (i) the unaudited statements of selected assets and liabilities and selected revenue and costs of the Business for the year ending December 31, 2024 and (ii) the unaudited statements of selected assets and liabilities and selected revenue and costs of the Business for the year ending December 31, 2025 (the “Most Recent Balance Sheet”) (collectively, the “Financial Statements”).

Section 6.5    Restrictive Covenants.
(a)Confidential Information.
(i)Seller acknowledges and agrees that (A) the success of the Company and the Business after the Closing depends upon the continued preservation of the confidentiality of the Confidential Information by Seller, (B) the preservation of the confidentiality of the Confidential Information by Seller is an essential premise of the bargain between such Seller and Purchaser, and (C) Purchaser would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement in the absence of the obligations and restrictions set forth in this Article VI. Accordingly, Seller hereby agrees with Purchaser that Seller, and its Controlled Affiliates and Representatives, will not, and that Seller will cause its Controlled Affiliates and Representatives not to, at any time on or after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, without



the prior written consent of Purchaser, use, disclose, communicate or otherwise divulge, any Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the information subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5(a) will not include any information generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation hereof) and (y) the provisions of this Section 6.5(a) will not prohibit any disclosures (A) required by any applicable Law so long as reasonable prior notice is given to Purchaser of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity is afforded to Purchaser or the Company to contest the same (to the extent permitted by Law), (B) made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement, any Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (C) made in connection with the performance by Seller or its Controlled Affiliates of any obligations arising under this Agreement, any Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated herein or therein (including, without limiting the foregoing, disclosures made to investigators, research partners, key opinion leaders, or other third parties participating in collaborative research arrangements or investigator-initiated trials, in each case, to the extent necessary for the conduct of such research, collaboration, or trial) or (D) made to Representatives of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates on a need-to-know basis in connection with (1) the preparation of financial statements, Tax Returns, and other regulatory or compliance filings of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates, (2) post-Closing recordkeeping and accounting obligations of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates, or (3) any other post-Closing obligations of Seller arising under applicable Law; provided that Seller shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.5(a) by any such Representative with respect to such disclosed Confidential Information.
(ii)The obligations set forth in Section 6.5(a), and Purchaser’s rights and remedies with respect thereto, shall remain in full force and effect for a period of ten (10) years following the Closing Date; provided that, if the Confidential Information loses its confidential nature through any act or omission of Seller (including any breach of Section 6.5(a)), the obligations with respect to such Confidential Information shall continue until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date regardless of such loss of confidentiality. To the extent this Agreement is being enforced in a jurisdiction that requires a time restriction for non-disclosure restrictions applicable to information that does not rise to the level of a statutory trade secret, the time restriction for the obligations in Section 6.5(a) with respect to such information that does not qualify as a statutory trade secret shall be ten (10) years following the Closing Date.
(b)Non-Competition.
(i)From the Closing Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), no Restricted Party shall, directly or indirectly, engage in, own, manage, operate or control, a Restricted Business in the Restricted Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing



in this Agreement or in the definition of Restricted Business shall prohibit or in any way restrict a Restricted Party from (A) making or maintaining passive investments of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding equity securities in any entity engaged in the Restricted Business listed for trading on any recognized securities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets, (B) owning, managing, operating or otherwise engaging in any pharmaceutical business that is ancillary or complementary to a Restricted Business but does not constitute a Restricted Business, (C) fulfilling any contractual obligations of any Restricted Party or any of its Affiliates existing as of the Closing Date or arising under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or (D) acquiring the equity securities or assets of any Person (the “Acquired Entity”) that engages in a Restricted Business, so long as (x) at the time of such acquisition, less than five percent (5%) of the consolidated revenues of the Acquired Entity and its subsidiaries for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to such acquisition are derived from activities that would be prohibited by this Section 6.5(b), (y) at the time of such acquisition the Acquired Entity is in the development stage and has not yet achieved any revenue and (z) from and after the closing of such acquisition and for the remainder of the Restricted Period, none of the Restricted Parties shall, and the Restricted Parties shall cause their Affiliates and the Acquired Entity not to, (i) make any additional investment of capital (including capital expenditures, marketing spend, or R&D expenditures) in, (ii) expand, develop or otherwise grow, or (iii) actively promote or solicit new business for, any portion of the Acquired Entity’s business that constitutes a Restricted Business (collectively, such Restricted Business of an Acquired Entity, the “De Minimis Business”); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit maintenance of existing operations of the De Minimis Business in the ordinary course as conducted as of the acquisition date.
(ii)Each Restricted Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive period of time, geographic scope and scope of restricted activity specified herein are reasonable and necessary in view of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the nature of the business in which the Company was engaged or is engaged as of the Closing. Each Restricted Party further acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.5(b) are reasonable and necessary to protect Purchaser’s investment under this Agreement and to safeguard the value and goodwill associated with the Shares. Each Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement but for each Restricted Party’s agreements and obligations pursuant to this Section 6.5(b) to protect such value and goodwill. If the scope of any stated restriction is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction(s) to its full extent, then the Parties agree that such restriction shall be enforced and/or modified to the maximum extent permitted by Law. The Parties agree that in the event of a breach of this Section



6.5(b), the Restricted Period shall be extended with respect to the breaching party by the period of the breach.
(c)Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, no Restricted Party shall, whether for its own account or for the account of any Person, directly or indirectly:
(i)intentionally cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, distributor, or other Person who is a business relation of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing or who was a customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, distributor, or business relation of the Company within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing (the “Non-Solicit Business Relations”), to reduce or cease doing business with the Company, or otherwise intentionally interfere in any fashion with the operations of the Business or the Company; provided, however, that no Restricted Party shall be deemed to have violated this Section 6.5(c)(i) by reason of marketing, selling or otherwise commercializing any products or services to Non-Solicit Business Relations that do not constitute a Restricted Business and that do not violate Section 6.5(b) (provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, the De Minimis Business shall be expressly excluded from the scope of this proviso, and any activities undertaken in connection therewith shall be restricted or prohibited by this Section 6.5(c)(i)); or

(ii)solicit for employment, hire or retain any Person who is an employee, independent contractor or other Personnel of the Company as of the Closing, or who was an employee, independent contractor or other Personnel of the Company at any time within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Closing; provided that, it shall not be a breach of this clause (iii) for such Restricted Party to post general solicitations or advertisements for employees or contractors so long as such general solicitations or advertisements are not specially directed to Personnel of the Company and no hiring or retaining results therefrom.
Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive period of time, geographic scope and scope of restricted activity specified herein are reasonable and necessary in view of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the nature of the business in which the Company was engaged or is engaged as of the Closing. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.5(c) are reasonable and necessary to protect Purchaser’s investment under this Agreement and to safeguard the value and goodwill associated with the Shares. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement but for Seller’s agreement and obligations pursuant to this Section 6.5 to protect such value and goodwill. If the scope of any stated restriction is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction(s) to its full extent, then the parties agree that such restriction shall be enforced and/or modified to the maximum extent permitted by Law.
(d)Non-Disparagement. For a period of ten (10) years following the Closing, each of Seller and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their respective Controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, make any disparaging statement, or release any information that has the effect of disparaging
(i) in the case of Seller, the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, the Business, the products offered or provided in the Business, or (ii) in the case of Purchaser, Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates, or any business or products of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates (for avoidance of doubt, other than the Business), in each case including any statements made to the press or other media in



the United States of America or in any other country. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit any truthful statements made in connection with a Proceeding or otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law.
(e)Remedies. Upon any breach or alleged breach of this Section 6.5 by Seller, Purchaser and/or the Company shall be entitled to each of the following remedies, which shall be deemed cumulative:
(i)Seller hereby acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.5 shall cause irreparable injury to the goodwill and proprietary rights of the Company and Purchaser, for which the Company and Purchaser shall not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Seller agrees that the Company and/or Purchaser shall be able to seek and obtain immediate injunctive relief in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and/or permanent injunction against Seller to restrain or enjoin any actual or threatened violation of any provision of this Section 6.5 without any requirement of posting a bond or other surety or proving damages.
(ii)To the extent calculable, the Company and/or Purchaser shall also be entitled to recover from Seller monetary damages for any violation of Section 6.5.
(iii)The Company and/or Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Seller all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by them in seeking either enforcement of Section 6.5 or damages for a breach of such Sections or in defending any action brought by Seller to challenge or construe the terms of any of such Sections.
(iv)The Company and/or Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available to them.

Section 6.6 Release. Effective upon the Closing, each of Seller, on behalf of itself and its past, present or future successors, assigns, employees, agents, Controlled Affiliates and representatives (including their past, present or future officers and directors) (collectively, the “Seller Releasors”) irrevocably and unconditionally releases, waives, acquits and forever discharges Purchaser, the Company, their Affiliates, and their respective successors, assigns, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”), at or before the Closing, of and from any and all actions, suits, claims, causes of action, damages, accounts, liabilities and obligations (including attorneys’ fees) held by any Seller Releasor, whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, direct or derivative, solely to the extent arising out of or relating to Seller’s capacity as a current or former owner of the Shares, the operation of the Business, or such Seller Releasee’s service, as applicable, as a director, manager or officer of the Company or the Seller Group, except for any of the foregoing set forth in, under or arising out of (i) any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document, (ii) any claim that cannot be waived or released by applicable Law, (iii) any claim for Fraud by any Releasee, (iv) any rights or claims arising under any commercial agreement, arrangement or relationship with any Releasee entered into in the ordinary course of business, (v) in the case of a Covered Person, any claims with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company of the Covered Persons and (vi) any claims arising out of the fact that a Seller Releasor is or was a director, manager, or officer with respect to any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date (all collectively, “Seller Released Claims”). The foregoing release



of Seller Released Claims are intended to be effective as a general release of, and bar to, all such claims, whether presently known or unknown. Accordingly, each party waives any and all rights and benefits under, or equivalent to, Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which states as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
Seller for itself and the other Seller Releasors, expressly acknowledges that it, he or she may later discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which it or the respective Seller Releasor now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this Agreement, might have materially affected its terms, but nevertheless hereby waives any claim that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims or facts.

Purchaser acknowledges that it is not authorized to, and agrees that it will not, and it will not permit any member of the Purchaser Group to, contact any officer, director, manager, employee, client, patient, payor, supplier, vendor, referral source, lessee, lessor, shareholder, lender, noteholder or other material business relation of the Company or its Affiliates before the Closing with respect to the Company, the Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, without receiving the prior written consent of the Company before each such contact.
Section 7.2 Transfer of Permits. If any Permit (excluding any “CE” marking certifications) of any Seller Group Entity must be reissued to any Person to operate its business following the Closing because of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts (and the Company will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser) to obtain such Permit; provided that the Seller Group Entities will not be required to make any payment to any third party with respect to Purchaser’s efforts to obtain any Permit unless Purchaser pays or reimburses the relevant Seller Group Entity for any such payment.

Section 5.3 Liability Insurance and Indemnification.

(a)[Reserved]
(b)For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause the Company to maintain on terms no less favorable than the current terms, and to honor in accordance with such terms, the provisions of the Governing Documents of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement and the provisions of any other agreements in effect on the date of this Agreement set forth on Section 7.3 of the Disclosure Schedules with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company of the Covered Persons, it being the intent of the Parties that the Covered Persons will continue to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification, and advancement of expense to the fullest extent of the Law.

claims that the Company currently has or, in the future, may have against Seller or Seller’s direct or indirect shareholders, partners, directors, managers, officers, trustees, employees or the representatives for any of such Person’s actions or omissions in his, her or its capacities as officers, directors or managers of the Company with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date.

In the event Purchaser, the Company or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or at least a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then Purchaser will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, will assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.3.
Section 7.4 Reserved.

Section 7.5 Labor Matters.
(a)Business Employees. For purposes hereof, the term “Business Employee” means each individual listed on Section 7.5 of the Disclosure Schedule. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall offer employment, effective as of the Closing and on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 7.5, to each Business Employee who is not an Inactive Employee. With respect to each Business Employee who is an Inactive Employee as of the Closing Date and who returns to work within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates will make an offer of employment to such Inactive Employee, with such offer to be on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 7.5. Each Business Employee who accepts Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment and commences work for Purchaser or such Affiliate shall be referred to hereafter as a “Transferred Employee”. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and support Purchaser’s offers to hire the Business Employees as reasonably requested by Purchaser. Seller shall terminate the employment of all Transferred Employees who are not Inactive Employees effective as of the Closing.
(b)Compensation and Benefits.
(i)As of the Closing Date, and for a period of at least twelve (12) months thereafter, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including the Company following the Closing) will provide each Transferred Employee with (A) an annual base salary or an hourly wage rate, as applicable, that is not less than that provided to such Transferred Employee by the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing, (B) incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, to



those provided to such Transferred Employee by the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing, and (C) employee benefits that are not less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiary or Affiliate that employs the Transferred Employee; provided, however, that Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, change other terms or conditions of employment of Business Employees at any time after Closing, and Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser may terminate the employment of any Business Employee, at any time after Closing.
(ii)Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including the Company following the Closing) will use commercially reasonably efforts to treat and cause each benefit plan, program, practice, policy and arrangement maintained by Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary or Affiliate (including the Company following the Closing) following the Closing in which any Transferred Employee (or the spouse, domestic partner or any dependent of any Transferred Employee) participates or is eligible to participate (each, a “Purchaser Plan”) to treat, for all purposes (including determining eligibility to participate, vesting, and level of benefits), all service with the Company and its Affiliates (or predecessor employers to the extent that the Company, any of its Affiliates or any Benefit Plan provides past service credit) as service with Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be taken into account to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits or was not taken into account for such purposes under the corresponding Benefit Plan, and further provided that Seller and the Company have provided or made available to Purchaser the data necessary and in the format required to allow Purchaser to satisfy such requirements.
(iii)Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including the Company following the Closing) will use commercially reasonably efforts to cause each Purchaser Plan that is a welfare plan, within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, (A) to waive any and all eligibility waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability requirements, pre-existing condition limitations and other exclusions and limitations with respect to the Transferred Employees and their spouses, domestic partners and dependents to the extent waived, satisfied or not applicable under the corresponding Benefit Plan, and (B) to recognize for each Transferred Employee for purposes of applying annual deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums under such Purchaser Plan any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Transferred Employee and his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents under the corresponding Benefit Plan during the plan year of such Benefit Plan in which occurs the later of the Closing Date and the date on which such Transferred Employee first becomes eligible to participate in such Purchaser Plan, provided that Seller and the Company have provided or made available to Purchaser the data necessary and in the format required to allow Purchaser to satisfy such requirements.
(iv)At Closing, each of the Transferred Employees set forth on Schedule 7.5(b)(iv) shall be granted the right to receive cash transaction bonuses in the amounts and on the dates set forth opposite their names on Schedule 7.5(b)(iv). The aggregate amount of the foregoing cash transaction bonuses shall not exceed $2,200,000. The aggregate amount of the foregoing bonuses plus the employer portion of any payroll, employment or similar Taxes payable in respect of such bonuses is referred to herein as the “Transaction Bonus Amount”.



(v)Nothing in this Section 7.5 is intended to, or will be construed to, (A) confer upon any Transferred Employee or any other Person other than the Parties to this Agreement any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to continued employment or (B) establish, amend or be deemed to establish or amend any Benefit Plan or any benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or limit the rights of the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to establish, amend or terminate any Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement, whether before or after Closing, except, in the case of this clause (B), to the extent required to satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 7.5.
Section 7.6 Confidentiality. Purchaser will be bound by and comply with the Confidentiality Agreement as if Purchaser was an original party to such agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part of this Agreement and will survive the execution of this Agreement notwithstanding any terms to the contrary set forth therein. The provisions of this Section 7.6 will terminate upon the Closing or, if this Agreement is terminated under Article XI, then in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 7.7    Other Applications.
(a)Following Closing, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, during the Milestone Period, to engage and license to a third party the spine application of the Intellectual Property of the Business solely for use in the spinal field (the “Spine License”). Purchaser shall pay Seller twenty-five percent (25%) of any upfront and milestone consideration paid to Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company), plus an additional payment equal to 7.5% of net sales of Purchaser (or its Affiliates) to the licensee of the Spine License (the “Additional Spine Consideration”), until the ten (10) year anniversary of Closing (the “Spine Consideration and Royalty Period”). Purchaser shall provide reasonable supporting detail with respect to the calculation of each of the components of net sales (including, without limitation, the Supporting Detail, to the extent applicable) with respect to the Spine License, to the extent any such net sales exist.
(b)Once per calendar year during the Spine Consideration and Royalty Period, Seller (or its designated representative) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice, to inspect Purchaser’s books and records to the extent necessary to verify the payments due to Seller pursuant to this Section 7.7, and Purchaser shall make available personnel responsible for preparing, or qualified and knowledgeable regarding, the calculations of net sales, and to meet with Seller or its representatives and discuss such calculations and the supporting detail delivered in connection therewith. Such inspection shall be conducted during normal business hours and at Seller’s expense. Any inspection permitted under this Section 7.7(b) is strictly limited to reviewing only the documents necessary to verify the accuracy of the calculation of net sales and each component thereof (including, without limitation, the Supporting Detail, to the extent applicable).
(c)If following such inspection, Seller does not agree with Purchaser’s calculation of net sales, then Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable assurances as to financial capability, resources, creditworthiness or other qualifications as may be reasonably requested by any Person whose consent or approval is sought hereunder.
Section 8.2 Efforts to Consummate. Without limitation of Section 8.1, during the Pre-Closing Period, each of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article IX and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as soon as practicable. During the Pre-Closing Period, none of the Parties will intentionally perform any act that, if performed, or intentionally omit to perform any act that, if omitted to be performed, would prevent or excuse the performance of this Agreement by any Party or that would allow a Party to terminate this Agreement under Section 11.1(c) or Section 11.1(d).Inspection of Records.
(a)For a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law), each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand (each, a “Requesting Party”), shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, provide the other Party (the “Responding Party”) and its Representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to the books, records and personnel of the Requesting Party and its Controlled Affiliates to the extent relating to the Business or the Company for periods prior to or concurrent with the Closing Date, in each case as reasonably necessary in connection with (i) the preparation of Tax Returns or financial statements, (ii) the conduct of any audit, examination or Proceeding, (iii) the enforcement of rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or (iv) any other reasonable business purpose relating to the Business or the Company.

Such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Responding Party or its Affiliates.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3:
(i)the Responding Party shall not be required to provide access to any information to the extent such access would reasonably be expected to (A) waive any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege, (B) violate applicable Law or any binding agreement with a third party, or (C) breach any confidentiality obligation; provided that the Responding Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit access in a manner that does not result in such waiver, violation or breach;

Purchaser shall retain, and shall cause the Company to retain, such books and records for periods after the Closing Date in accordance with its standard record retention policies; provided that Purchaser shall not destroy any such records within such six (6)-year period without first providing Seller reasonable prior written notice and an opportunity to obtain copies at Seller’s expense.
Section 8.4    Publicity.
(a)From and after the Closing, each Party will, and will cause their respective Controlled Affiliates and representatives to, maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the terms thereof. The Parties will not, and will cause each of their Affiliates not to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except with the prior agreement of Seller and Purchaser (and the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to consult and agree with each other regarding the content of any press release or other public announcements), and no such disclosure will contain any financial terms related to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.4, (i) any Party may, without the prior consent of the other Parties, issue or cause the publication of any press release, public announcement or disclosure to the extent that such Party reasonably determines such action to be required by Law, in which event such Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other Parties hereto reasonable time to comment on (or block or otherwise seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy regarding) such press release, public announcement or disclosure in advance of its issuance and such press release, public announcement or disclosure will only contain such information that the disclosing party was required by Law to disclose; (ii) the Parties may make disclosures to their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, counsel, accountants, auditors and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses or as necessary to assist such Party in exercising its rights or satisfying and performing its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, provided that the provisions of Section 8.4(a) will apply to such directors, managers, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, counsel, accountants, auditors and other representatives and the Party disclosing such information will be responsible for any breach of the provisions hereof by them; (iii) Seller or any of its Affiliates may disclose to its current, former or prospective partners, members, investors or other direct or indirect shareholders who are affiliated with investment funds of Seller’s Affiliates and their respective representatives, as applicable, the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that the recipient of such information is subject to confidentiality obligations; and (iv) the Company may make any announcement to its employees, members, shareholders, customers, investigators, key opinion leaders, or other business relations, in each case, that the Company reasonably believes is required or desirable.



Section 8.5    Further Assurances; Shared Contracts.
(a) From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Controlled 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, Purchaser and the Purchaser 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 Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee under this Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee under this Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including (i) transferring back to Seller or a Subsidiary any asset or liability that is not 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 Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee at or after the Closing and (ii) transferring to Purchaser or a Purchaser 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 Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee at or after the Closing). If, at any time from and after the Closing, either Purchaser or Seller discovers that it or any of its Affiliates is the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess any Purchased Asset or Excluded Asset or is liable for any Assumed Liability or Excluded Liability that is properly attributable to the other Party (or its respective designees or Affiliates) pursuant to this Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, such Party will promptly give notice in writing to the other Party and promptly take the actions contemplated by this Section 8.5(a). Each Party will cooperate with the other Party and use its commercially reasonable efforts to set up procedures and notifications as are reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery contemplated by this Section 8.5(a).
(b) Nothing in this Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to transfer or assign any Purchased Asset, including any Transferred Contract, Permit, certificate, approval, license, 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 Authority 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) to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Contract, Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee notifies Seller that any such Purchased Asset should be transferred or assigned notwithstanding the absence of a requisite third party consent or Governmental Authority 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 Authority consent or any right of a third party to cancel such Purchased Asset. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents and deliver any required notices under all Nonassignable Assets, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts 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 Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Controlled 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 Purchaser or a Purchaser 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 Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee, and Seller or its applicable Controlled Affiliate shall hold such Nonassignable Assets in trust for the benefit or burden, as applicable, of Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designee until the consummation of the applicable assignment. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to, also take or cause to be taken at Seller’s or its designee’s expense such actions in its name or otherwise as Purchaser may reasonably request so as to provide Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser 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 Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser 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 Purchaser and cooperate to assign or transfer such previously Nonassignable Asset to Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designee.
(c)Purchaser 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, Permits, certificates, approvals, licenses, 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 Assignment and Assumption Agreement.
(d)From and after the Closing Date, Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates authorizes Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Purchaser’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller or its Affiliates under the Nonassignable Assets.
(e)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.
(f)Set forth on Section 8.5(f) of the Disclosure Schedule is a list of the Shared Contracts to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. If requested by Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee, and to the extent legally permissible, Seller and its Affiliates, as applicable, shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts after the date hereof to facilitate and assist Purchaser or such Purchaser Designee, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, in negotiating new contracts with the counterparty to each of the Shared Contracts that will be effective on or after the Closing Date on terms that are substantially similar to the terms contained in the Shared Contracts solely to the extent exclusively related to the Business (each such new Contract, a “Replacement Contract”). If requested by Seller, and to the extent legally permissible, Purchaser and its Affiliates, as applicable, shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts after the date hereof to facilitate and assist Seller in negotiating a Replacement Contract. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and enter into Replacement Contracts as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date (and to the extent legally permissible, prior to Closing).
(g)Except as otherwise agreed to between the Parties pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, if Purchaser or its applicable Purchaser Designee is not able to obtain a Replacement Contract prior to the Closing, then, following the Closing Date, to the extent permissible under applicable Law and



under the terms of the applicable Shared Contract, (i) at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, Seller and its Controlled Affiliates, as applicable, shall continue to perform the obligations under such Shared Contract primarily relating to the Business, (ii) Purchaser or such Purchaser Designee shall take all such actions necessary, or reasonably requested by Seller or its Controlled Affiliates, as applicable, to facilitate performance of the obligations under such Shared Contract primarily relating to the Business, (iii) Seller or its Controlled Affiliates, as applicable, shall hold in trust for the benefit of Purchaser or such Purchaser Designee, and shall promptly forward to Purchaser or such Purchaser Designee, any monies or other benefits received pursuant to such Shared Contract primarily relating to the Business, and (iv) the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to institute alternative arrangements intended to put the Parties in a substantially similar economic position as if such Shared Contract had been replaced by a Replacement Contract. Seller shall not amend, modify, or voluntarily terminate any Shared Contract if such action would have a materially disproportionate effect on the Business in relation to Seller’s and its Affiliate’s other businesses without the advance written consent of Purchaser.
Section 8.6    Termination of Intercompany Arrangements.
(a)Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, including the Transition Services Agreement, effective as of the Closing, all Contracts, arrangements, understandings and agreements of any nature (whether written or oral) solely between or among (i) the Company, on the one hand, and (ii) Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates (other than the Company), on the other hand (collectively, the “Intercompany Arrangements”), shall be terminated in their entirety, without any further force or effect.
(b)As of the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Controlled Affiliates (other than, following the Closing, the Company) shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under any Intercompany Arrangements, and each Party hereby waives any and all claims it may have against any other Party arising under or relating to any Intercompany Arrangements; provided, however, that nothing herein shall (i) affect any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) limit or impair any rights to indemnification under Article XII, or (iii) release or waive any rights or claims arising out of Fraud.
(c)All intercompany accounts between the Company, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company), on the other hand, shall be satisfied, settled, canceled or otherwise extinguished as of the Closing, without any further liability to Purchaser or the Company, except to the extent specifically included in the calculation of the Closing Consideration Amount (including, if applicable, as Cash, Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses) or otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement.
(d)Each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Controlled Affiliates to, at the sole cost of the requesting Party, execute and deliver such further documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to evidence the termination of the Intercompany Arrangements in accordance with this Section 8.6.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Intercompany Arrangements identified on Section 8.6 of the Disclosure Schedule shall survive the Closing to the extent and on the terms set forth therein.

ARTICLE X
TAX MATTERS
Section 10.1    Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.
(a) Seller will have the sole and exclusive right to prepare and file (i) all Consolidated Tax Returns for any taxable period, and (ii) all income Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that are due for filing after the Closing. The Parties hereto and each of their Affiliates acknowledge and agree that any Transaction Tax Deductions shall be claimed on any Consolidated Tax Return or any income Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the maximum extent permissible by applicable Law and shall be reflected on such applicable Tax Returns. Each such income Tax Return described in the foregoing clause (ii) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices, procedures and accounting methods of the Company, except as otherwise required by this Agreement. Seller shall provide (or cause to be provided) each such income Tax Return of the Company described in the foregoing clause (ii) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period to Purchaser for its review at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such income Tax Return (after applicable extensions) and shall incorporate all reasonable comments made by Purchaser. The party required to do so under Law shall file, or cause to be filed, each of such income Tax Returns consistent with the terms set forth in this Section 10.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor Seller will be required to provide to Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) any Consolidated Tax Return, provided, that, when a position, election or transaction on any Consolidated Tax Return has a material impact on the Tax attributes of the Company or when otherwise reasonably relevant to any Tax matter that is the subject of this Agreement, Seller shall provide relevant information to Purchaser in the form of appropriate redacted materials, excerpts, schedules or workpapers, or reproductions of portions of any such Consolidated Tax Return.
(b) Purchaser, at its cost and expense, will prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, all Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods that are due for filing after the Closing Date (after giving effect to any valid extensions of the applicable filing deadline) that are not described in Section 10.1(a). To the extent any items reported on any such Tax Returns could reasonably be expected to result in a Tax liability to or otherwise adversely impact Seller (including through any reduction in the amount of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to this Agreement) or could reduce the amount or value of any Tax Refund payable to Seller hereunder, Purchaser will cause such Tax Returns to be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company unless otherwise required by Law, permit Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at least thirty (30) days prior to filing, incorporate any reasonable comments of Seller with respect to each such Tax Return, and not file, or cause or permit to be filed, any such Tax Return without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser will elect to



file (and cause the Company to join in filing) a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return with the Company for the taxable period beginning on the day following the Closing Date.

Section 10.2     Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, the Taxes of the Company attributable to any Straddle Period will be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the first day of the Straddle Period and ends on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”), and the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the day immediately after the Closing Date and ends on the last day of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”). The amount of such Tax allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will: (a) in the case of any property or similar ad valorem Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; (b) in the case of any other Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date (provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, will be apportioned on a daily basis; and further provided that any Transaction Tax Deductions claimed on an income Tax Return of the Company for a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period); and (c) in the case of any Tax imposed with respect to an interest in an entity treated as a CFC, partnership, or disregarded entity for purposes of the Code, be determined as if the taxable year of such CFC, partnership, or disregarded entity ended on the end of the Closing Date. The amount of such Tax allocated to the Post-Closing Straddle Period will equal the balance of such Tax attributable to the Straddle Period. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate the taxable year of the Company on the Closing Date.
Section 10.3 Refunds. Seller will be entitled to any Tax Refunds or overpayments (or, in each case, credits in lieu thereof) that are received by Purchaser or the Company, which relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Pre-Closing Straddle Period of the Company, but excluding (a) any adjustment to a loss or other Tax attribute of the Company (as opposed to the receipt of cash), (b) refunds resulting from a carryback of a loss or other Tax attribute of Purchaser, any Affiliate thereof, or the Company from a Post-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date), (c) any refund that the Company is otherwise obligated to pay over to any third party due to contractual arrangements in existence at or prior to the Closing or (d) any refunds or overpayments (or, in each case, credits in lieu thereof) that were taken into account in calculating the Purchase Price (as finally determined) (each such refund, a “Tax Refund”). For purposes of this Section 10.3, in the event that any actual cash tax liability of the Company for Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Pre-Closing Straddle Period is less than the amount of such liability for Taxes taken into account in calculating the Purchase Price (as finally determined), then such difference will be treated as a Tax Refund payable to Seller under this Section 10.3. Purchaser will cause the Company to make all filings and take all actions necessary to secure such Tax Refunds as promptly as possible (and in any event, within thirty (30) days after receiving notice from Seller regarding the availability thereof), and Purchaser will pay to Seller the amount of any such Tax Refund within 5 days after the actual receipt of such Tax Refund (or entitlement thereto, with respect to an amount credited in lieu of a refund). The Parties agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 10.3 will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for applicable Tax purposes, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.
Section 10.4    Control of Audit or Tax Litigation.
(a)After the Closing, each of Purchaser, on one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, will promptly notify the other in writing within seven days following receipt of notice of any pending or



threatened Proceeding regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company (a “Tax Proceeding”) for which such other party (or such other party’s Affiliates) may be liable.
(b)After the Closing, Seller will (i) control the defense of any Tax Proceedings related to a Consolidated Tax Return for any taxable period and (ii) have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of any Tax Proceeding related solely to an income Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period at Seller’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that (notwithstanding any contrary provision of Section10.4(b)), Seller shall not have the right to control any such Tax Proceeding described in the foregoing clause (ii) if (A) the outcome of such Tax Proceeding may materially adversely affect the Tax liability of the Company, Purchaser or any Affiliate of any of them, for any period ending after the Closing Date, or (B) Seller has failed or ceased diligently to defend against the adjustment in Tax proposed in such Tax Contest. With respect to any Tax Proceeding governed by the foregoing subsection (ii), Seller will (C) provide Purchaser with copies of all significant correspondence, notices or other written materials received from any Governmental Authority and otherwise keep Purchaser advised of any significant developments, and of any significant communications involving representatives of the Governmental Authorities, (D) permit Purchaser to participate in such Tax Proceeding at Purchaser’s cost and expense, (E) permit Purchaser to review and comment on any documents in connection with such Tax Proceeding and take any reasonable comments of Purchaser into consideration prior to filing any document and (F) shall not settle, adjust or compromise such Tax Proceeding in a manner that may materially adversely affect the Tax liability of the Company, Purchaser or any Affiliate of any of them, for any period ending after the Closing Date, without with Purchaser’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c)After the Closing, Purchaser will control the defense of any Tax Proceeding that is not described in Section 10.4(b) or the defense of which Seller, in its sole discretion, elects not to control or does not timely assume control. To the extent any such Tax Proceeding could reasonably be expected to result in a liability to or otherwise impact Seller or any of its beneficial owners (including through any reduction in the amount of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to this Agreement) or reduce the amount or value of any Tax Refund payable to Seller hereunder, Purchaser will (i) provide Seller with copies of all significant correspondence, notices or other written materials received from any Governmental Authority and otherwise keep Seller advised of any significant developments, and of any significant communications involving representatives of the Governmental Authorities, (ii) permit Seller to participate in such Tax Proceeding at Seller’s sole cost and expense, (iii) permit Seller to review and comment on any documents in connection with such Tax Proceeding and take any reasonable comments of Seller into consideration prior to filing any document, and (iv) not settle, adjust or compromise (or cause the Company to settle, adjust or compromise) any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 10.5 Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of all sales, use, transfer, real property transfer, value-added, stamp, documentary, recording, equity transfer, and similar Taxes and fees, and any deficiency, interest, or penalty asserted with respect thereto, arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). The party responsible under applicable Law will timely file or cause to be filed all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes and the other party shall promptly reimburse such filing party for its share of such Transfer Taxes. In the event that any Transfer Taxes may be reclaimed, recovered or refunded from any Person in accordance with customary practice, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reclaim, recover or obtain a refund of such Transfer Taxes and shall cooperate with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6.

(a)by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;
(b)in writing by either Purchaser or Seller if the Closing has not occurred at or before 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of this Agreement; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(b) will not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;
(c)by Purchaser, if any of the representations or warranties of the Company or of Seller set forth in Article III or Article IV, as applicable, are not accurate, or if the Company or Seller has failed to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or Seller, as applicable, set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing), such that the conditions to the Closing set forth in either Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) are not capable of being satisfied as of the Closing and the breach or breaches causing such representations or warranties not to be accurate, or the failures to perform any covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured within twenty (20) Business Days after written notice thereof is delivered to the Company; provided that Purchaser is not then in breach of this Agreement such as would cause the condition to the Closing set forth in either Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) to not be satisfied as of the Closing;
(d)by Seller, if any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser set forth in Article V is not accurate, or if Purchaser has failed to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing), such that the conditions to the Closing set forth in either Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) are not capable of being satisfied as of the Closing and the breach or breaches causing such representations or warranties not to be accurate, or the failures to perform any covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured within twenty (20) Business Days after written notice thereof is delivered to Purchaser; provided that none of the Company or Seller is then in breach of this Agreement such as would cause the condition to the Closing set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) from being satisfied as of the Closing; provided further that neither a breach by Purchaser of Section 5.7 nor the failure to deliver the Purchase Price or the payments contemplated by Section 2.3 at the Closing (or the date on which the Closing would have occurred but for the breach of this Agreement by Purchaser) as required hereunder will be subject to cure hereunder unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company; or

Agreement and no Party will be relieved of its duties, liabilities and obligations to any other Party under Article XIII and (b) nothing contained in this Section 11.2 will relieve any Party from liabilities, losses or damages arising out of any willful and intentional breach prior to the termination of this Agreement by such Party of any covenants or other obligations to be performed by such Party contained in this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be deemed to include any failure by Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby if obligated to do so under this Agreement).
ARTICLE XII

Subject to the applicable provisions of this Article XII, as of and following the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, the Company and their respective successors, equity holders, Personnel, Representatives and Affiliates (other than the Seller Indemnified Parties) (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Indemnity Losses incurred or suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of or arising out of:
(a)any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties of or related to the Company or Seller contained in Articles III and IV;

(a)any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser contained in Article V; and
(b)any breach or failure to perform by Purchaser of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement.



Section 12.3 Indemnification Notice; Litigation Notice. If a party believes that it has suffered or incurred any Indemnity Loss to which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 12.1 or 12.2 (such party, the “Claimant”), the Claimant shall so notify, as the case may be, (a) Purchaser, in the event the Claimant is a Seller Indemnified Party, or (b) Seller, in the event the Claimant is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, promptly in writing (x) identifying the party or parties which the Claimant believes has an obligation to indemnify (the “Indemnifying Party”) and (y) describing such Indemnity Loss, including the amount thereof, if known, in such detail as is reasonably practicable (the “Indemnification Notice”). If any Proceeding is instituted by a third party with respect to which the Claimant intends to claim any Liability or expense as an Indemnity Loss under this Article XII (a “Third-Party Claim”), it shall promptly notify the applicable party (as set forth above) of such Third-Party Claim describing such Indemnity Loss and the amount thereof, if known, all with reasonable detail (the “Litigation Notice”) in lieu of an Indemnification Notice.
Section 12.4     Disagreement Notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not agree that the Claimant is entitled to full reimbursement for the amount specified in the Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claimant (the “Disagreement Notice”) within thirty (30) calendar days of its receipt of the Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be. Failure to deliver a Disagreement Notice in a timely manner shall be considered an express acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Claimant with respect to the Indemnity Loss set forth in the Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Claimant the amount specified in the Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. Any dispute regarding indemnification shall be resolved as provided for in Section 13.9.
Section 12.5    Defense of Third-Party Claims
(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Litigation Notice to (i) notify the Claimant, in writing, that it elects to conduct and control the Third-Party Claim (the “Election Notice”) and (ii) appoint counsel reasonably acceptable to the Claimant to be lead counsel in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not give the foregoing Election Notice during such thirty (30) day period, the Claimant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to defend, contest, settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to all Claimants arising out of the same or similar set of circumstances in connection with such defense, to the extent such Third-Party Claim (i) seeks non-monetary relief, (ii) involves a criminal allegation by a Governmental Authority, (iii) involves a claim by a current customer or supplier of the Claimant (or the Company in the event the Claimant is another Purchaser Indemnified Party) or involves a claim which, if adversely determined, would be reasonably expected to establish a precedent, custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or prospects of the Claimant (or the Company in the event the Claimant is another Purchaser Indemnified Party), (iv) would reasonably be expected to result in an Indemnity Loss (including the cost of defense) which exceeds the amount, if any, then remaining under the Indemnification Cap, (v) involves, in the opinion of counsel of the Claimant, a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant, or (vi) involves a claim that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend (clauses (i) through (vi), the “Exception Claims”).



(b) If the Indemnifying Party timely gives the foregoing Election Notice and such Third-Party Claim is not an Exception Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, the conduct and settlement of such Third-Party Claim, and the Claimant shall provide its reasonable cooperation, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, including providing reasonable access during regular business hours to records and Personnel of the Claimant to the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not thereby consent to the imposition of any injunction against the Claimant (or the Company in the event the Claimant is another Purchaser Indemnified Party) without the prior written consent of the Claimant, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Claimant to participate in such conduct or settlement through legal counsel chosen by the Claimant, but the fees and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne solely by the Claimant, (iii) upon a final determination of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Claimant for the full amount of any Indemnity Loss incurred by the Claimant, except fees and expenses of legal counsel that the Claimant incurred pursuant to clause (ii) following the receipt by the Claimant of the Election Notice, (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to pay or settle such Third-Party Claim provided that (A) the claim is solely for monetary damages, all of which are being paid, satisfied or otherwise resolved by the Indemnifying Party, (B) the Claimant has no Liability with respect to such settlement and (C) the terms of such settlement provide for a full release of the Claimant, and (v) the Claimant shall have the right to pay or settle any such Third-Party Claim with the consent of the Indemnifying Party.
(c) If (i) the Claimant does not receive an Election Notice within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the Litigation Notice with respect to a Third-Party Claim or (ii) such Third-Party Claim is an Exception Claim, in each case, the Claimant may defend against such matter as it deems appropriate at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and shall not be recoverable from such Claimant under this Article XII in the event that the Claimant assumes the defense of any such matter, it shall not settle or consent to an entry of judgment without the prior written consent of the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, that no such settlement or consent to entry of judgment entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (or which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide in order to comply with this Section 12.5(c)) shall be determinative of the existence of a claim covered by this Article XII or the amount of any Indemnity Loss for which the Indemnifying Party is liable hereunder.
(d)To the extent of any conflict between this Section 12.5 and Section 10.4, Section 10.4 shall govern.

Section 10.6 Survival. Claims for indemnification under Section 12.1(a) and Section 12.2(a) shall only be valid to the extent that such claims are made on or prior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, claims arising from any breach of any of the Fundamental Representations or representations under Section 3.9 (Taxes) shall survive for the greater of (a) the six (6) year anniversary of this Agreement and (b) the applicable statute of limitation, plus sixty (60) days.






Section 12.7    Limitation on Indemnified Costs.
(a)Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses arising under Section 12.1(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Indemnity Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(a) exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Indemnification Basket”); provided, however, that the Indemnification Basket shall not apply to Indemnity Losses arising from any breach of any Fundamental Representation or any representations under Section 3.9 (Taxes). After the Indemnification Basket is exceeded, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be paid the amount of all Indemnity Losses from the first dollar, subject to the limitations on recovery and recourse set forth herein.
(b)Seller in the aggregate shall not be liable to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses arising under Section 12.1(a) in excess of ten percent (10%) of the total consideration actually paid to Seller from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to Indemnity Losses arising from any breach of any Fundamental Representation or any representations under Section 3.9 (Taxes). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller in the aggregate shall not be liable to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Indemnity Losses in excess of the total consideration actually owed to and received by Seller (the “Aggregate Cap”); provided, however, that the Aggregate Cap shall not apply to Indemnity Losses arising from any Excluded Liabilities.
(c)For the purpose of calculating Indemnity Losses hereunder (but not for purposes of determining the existence of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty in this Agreement), except for the Specified Instances, each qualification to a representation or warranty by use of the word “material” or “materially” or the words “in all material respects” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be disregarded. For purposes hereof, “Specified Instances” means (a) the use of the word “Material Adverse Effect” in Section 3.10 and (b) the use of the word “Material” when used as the first word of the defined terms “Material Contracts” and “Material Permits”.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) in calculating the amount of any Indemnity Loss, the amount of such Indemnity Loss shall be reduced by
(A) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Claimant in respect of such Indemnity Loss, net of related costs reasonably incurred in obtaining such recovery, and (B) any amount actually recovered by the Claimant from any third party with respect thereto, net of related costs reasonably incurred in obtaining such recovery; (ii) each Claimant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Indemnity Loss for which indemnification may be sought hereunder; and (iii) no Claimant shall be entitled to recover the same Indemnity Loss more than once.

Section 12.8 Special Rule for Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XII, in the event of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty by any party hereto that constitutes Fraud by or on behalf of Seller or the Company (including any Fraudulent act committed by and Personnel or Representative of Seller, the Company or a Seller Group Entity, in each case who is entitled to act under applicable Law on behalf of Seller, the Company or a Seller Group Entity) (as of or prior to Closing) on the one hand, or Purchaser or the Company (following Closing), on the other hand, then (a) claims of Fraud with respect to such representation or warranty shall survive indefinitely and the limitations set forth in Section 12.7, as applicable, shall not apply to any Indemnity Loss that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any such breach.



Section 12.9     Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in Section 2.6, Section 11.2 or Section 13.16, for specific performance or injunctive relief with respect to claims under any Transaction Document, and for legal or equitable relief for any claim for Fraud, the right to indemnification under this Article XII shall constitute the sole and exclusive right and remedy available to any party hereto for any claims or losses under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party hereto shall initiate or maintain any Proceeding against any other party hereto which is directly or indirectly related to any such claims.
Section 12.10     Payment of Losses. Any Indemnity Losses to which a Purchaser Indemnified Party becomes entitled by reason of the provisions of this Article XII shall be paid as follows, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in this Article XII:
(a)First, Purchaser shall set off all or any portion of such amount against any earned, but unpaid Milestone Payments or any amounts owed to any Seller Group Entity pursuant to the TSA, in either case existing as of the date such payment is due, at its sole option;
(b)and thereafter, only after any earned but unpaid Milestone Payments have been exhausted, from Seller.
Section 12.11     Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, it is the intention of the Parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and the Parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

No Party or any party to any such contract will raise the use of .PDF or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of .PDF or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such Party forever waives any such defense.

Section 13.8     Severability.

Section 13.18    Legal Representation.
(a)Each of the Parties acknowledges that Perkins Coie LLP (“PC”) currently serves as counsel to each of Seller and its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, including in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There may come a time, including after consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, when the interests of Seller and the Company may no longer be aligned or when, for any reason Seller, PC or the Company believes that PC can or should no longer represent Seller and the Company. The Parties understand and specifically agree that PC may withdraw from representing the Company and continue to represent Seller and its Affiliates, even if their respective interests, and the interests of the Company, are or may be adverse, including in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and even though PC may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for the Company or any of its Affiliates, and each of Purchaser and the Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties intend that all communications at or before the Closing between the Company, Seller and Seller’s Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Group” and each, a “Seller Group Entity”) or any of them, on the one hand, and any of their attorneys, on the other hand, including all communications relating to the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any alternative transactions (collectively, the “Protected Communication”), and all associated rights to assert, waive and otherwise administer the attorney-client privilege and right of confidentiality of any Seller Group Entity (the “Associated Rights”), will, from and after the Closing, rest exclusively with Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Company) and will not be transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered, by operation of law or otherwise, to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Purchaser Group”). Accordingly, as of immediately before the Closing, for the consideration set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged: (i) all



Protected Communication and Associated Rights are, and will be deemed for all purposes, transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered in full to Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Company) and (ii) no member of the Purchaser Group will have any right, title, interest or benefit in or to any of the Protected Communication or any Associated Rights.

(c)Purchaser agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the Purchaser Group, from and after the Closing, that Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Company) (i) will have the right to take possession and control of all Protected Communication effectively as of the Closing and (ii) if and to the extent Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Company) fail to take such possession and control (which failure will not, alone or in association with any other act or omission, be deemed a waiver of any of their rights under this Section 13.18), each of Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Company) will have the right to access and copy, from time to time, any Protected Communication in the possession or control of any member of the Purchaser Group from and after the Closing, during normal business hours and on not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice, as Seller or any of its Affiliates (excluding the Company) (as applicable) determines, in its sole discretion, may be necessary or desirable in connection with any post-Closing matter, whether or not such matter is known to any member of the Purchaser Group. If and to the extent that, at any time from and after the Closing, any member of the Purchaser Group will have any right or opportunity to assert or waive an attorney-client privilege or right of confidentiality with respect to any Protected Communication, each member of the Purchaser Group will not, and will cause the other members of the Purchaser Group not to, waive such privilege or right of confidentiality without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole discretion).
