paid by Purchaser from (or, if paid by the Company, shall be deemed to reduce) the Appraisal Holdback (and, to the extent that the Appraisal Holdback is insufficient first by the Sellers’ Representatives on behalf of the Sellers from the Representative Account and, if still insufficient, from the Escrow Account).
 
(d) Within five (5) Business Days following such time as (i) all Dissenting Stockholders have either been paid, pursuant to applicable Law for their Dissenting Shares or have ceased to be Dissenting Shareholders and been paid for their Shares in accordance with Section  6.19, and (ii) Purchaser owns one-hundred percent (100%) of the Company Securities, Purchaser shall release the remaining balance, if any, of the Appraisal Holdback to the Paying Agent (to be allocated among the Sellers and the Non-Exercising Optionholders in accordance with Exhibit B hereto).
 
2.9 Net Working Capital Adjustment.
 
(a) Closing Date Purchase Price Adjustment.
 
(i) Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Purchaser with an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of immediately after the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of the estimated Closing Working Capital (as defined in Section  2.9(b)(i) below), derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”).  The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Working Capital shall be prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation and accrual methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end, as if such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Working Capital were being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end.
 
(ii) If Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than Target Working Capital, then the Base Purchase Price payable at Closing will be decreased by the positive difference between Estimated Closing Working Capital and Target Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Shortfall”).  If Estimated Closing Working Capital is greater than Target Working Capital, then the Base Purchase Price payable at Closing will be increased by the positive difference between Estimated Closing Working Capital and Target Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Excess”).  “Target Working Capital” shall be $1,000,000.
 
(b) Post-Closing Date Purchase Price Adjustment.
 
(i) Following the Closing, the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided herein to reflect the difference between Closing Working Capital and Estimated Closing Working Capital.  “Closing Working Capital” means the Net Working Capital of the Company as of immediately after the Closing, provided, however, that if, as of the Closing Date, one or more of the individuals listed on Schedule  6.26 has not executed a Parachute Payment Waiver as provided in Section  6.26(a), the Company shall include in its calculation of Closing

Net Working Capital, a deemed liability equal to the portion of the value of the tax deductions lost pursuant to Section 280G of the Code which result from the acceleration of vesting for Company Options and Accelerated Shares and shall reduce the Company’s Net Working Capital on a dollar by dollar basis to reflect the loss of such Tax deductions (the “280G Deduction”).  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the value of the acceleration of the Company Options and Accelerated Shares shall be determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1, Q&A-12 and Q&A-13.  The value of the lost Tax deduction shall deemed to be equal to (A) the dollar amount of the Tax deduction the Company could have as a result the acceleration of vesting for Company Options and Accelerated Shares had Parachute Payment Waivers been exercised, multiplied by (B) 39.5%.
 
(ii) Within 45 days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representatives a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of immediately after the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) audited by the Company’s accountants and a statement of Closing Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”).  The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation, estimation and accrual methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end, as if such Closing Balance Sheet was as of a fiscal year end.
 
(iii) The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement (and the computation of Closing Working Capital indicated thereon) delivered by Purchaser to the Sellers’ Representatives shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless the Sellers’ Representatives, within 15 days after delivery to the Sellers’ Representatives of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement, notifies Purchaser in writing that the Sellers’ Representatives disputes any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefor.  The parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute and, if the parties so resolve all disputes, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement (and the computation of Closing Working Capital indicated thereon), as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.  If the parties do not reach agreement in resolving the dispute within 15 days after notice is given by the Sellers’ Representatives to Purchaser pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the parties shall submit the dispute to the accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche, LLP, or, if such firm will not act, to such other “big four” accounting firm which is mutually agreeable to the parties (the “Arbiter”) for resolution.  Promptly, but no later than 20 days after acceptance of its appointment as Arbiter, the Arbiter shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Arbiter shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of the Closing Working Capital which shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.  All proceedings conducted by the Arbiter shall take place in Orange County, California.  In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section  2.9 and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party.  The fees, costs and
 

 
 DAL:0506861/00010:1931463v15

expenses of the Arbiter shall be allocated to and borne by Purchaser and the Sellers based on the inverse of the percentage that the Arbiter’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Arbiter with the Sellers’ portion paid first from the Adjustment Holdback and, if needed, by the Sellers’ Representatives from the Representative Account and, if needed, from the Escrow Account.  By way of example and not of limitation, if Purchaser and Sellers’ Representatives have a dispute over $100 and the Arbiter awards $60 to Sellers (60% of the amount in dispute) and $40 to Purchaser (40% of the amount in dispute), Purchaser would bear 60% of the fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter and Sellers would bear 40% of the fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter.
 
(iv) Upon final determination of Closing Working Capital as provided in Section  2.9(b)(iii) above, (A) if Closing Working Capital is greater than Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Base Purchase Price shall be increased by the excess of Closing Working Capital over Estimated Closing Working Capital and Purchaser shall promptly, but no later than five (5) Business Days after such final determination, pay the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment thereof, to the Paying Agent to be allocated among the Sellers and the Non-Exercising Optionholders in accordance with Exhibit B hereto, and (B) if Closing Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Base Purchase Price shall be decreased by the excess of Estimated Closing Working Capital over Closing Working Capital and the Sellers shall promptly, but no later than five (5) Business Days after such final determination, pay to Purchaser (including by way of offset against the Adjustment Holdback) the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment thereof as determined below.
 
(v) Any remaining amounts of the Adjustment Holdback, after deduction pursuant to Section  2.9(b)(iv) above, if any, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Paying Agent, to be allocated among the Sellers and the Non-Exercising Optionholders in accordance with Exhibit B hereto, not later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Balance Sheet is determined final.  If the Adjustment Holdback is insufficient to satisfy any amount due to the Purchaser pursuant to Section  2.9(b)(iv) above, such excess amount will be paid by the Sellers’ Representatives on behalf of the Sellers and the Purchaser shall not be required to demand such payment from the Escrow Account.
 
(vi) For the purposes of this Section  2.9(b), interest will be payable at the “prime” rate, as announced by The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, from time to time to be in effect, calculated based on a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
 
2.10 Earnout Payments.

distribution to Sellers in accordance with Exhibit B hereto) $25,000,000 (each such $25,000,000 payment, a “Base Earnout Payment”).  The parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent that Deemed Net Revenue is less than Target Net Revenue for any Base Earnout Year (i) no Earnout shall be payable by Purchaser for such Base Earnout Year and (ii) Deemed Net Revenue for such Base Earnout Year shall not be carried forward to any subsequent Earnout Year for purposes of determining whether Target Net Revenue for such subsequent Earnout Year is met or exceeded (nor for any other purpose).
 
(c) Subject to subsections (g) and (j) through (m) of this Section  2.10, for each Earnout Year in which Deemed Net Revenue exceeds Target Net Revenue for such Earnout Year, Purchaser shall pay to Paying Agent (for distribution to Sellers in accordance with Exhibit B hereto) an amount equal to the amount by which the Deemed Net Revenue for such Earnout Year exceeds the Target Net Revenue for such Earnout Year, multiplied by 0.5 (each such payment, an “Excess Earnout Payment”).
 
(d) In the event that due to external conditions (whether or not market related) Purchaser’s actual selling price for the Product during any Earnout Year (based on unbundled, arms’-length sales to un-Affiliated third parties) is lower, by ten percent (10%) or more, than the applicable Deemed Product Price for such Earnout Year (the percentage by which the actual Product price is lower than the Deemed Product Price, the “Product Reduction Percentage”):

(ii) the parties shall adjust the Target Product Revenue for (A) such Earnout Year and (B) for each subsequent Earnout Year (as set forth on Annex 1 hereto) by a percentage amount equal to the Product Reduction Percentage; and
 
(iii) the parties shall recalculate Target Net Revenue for (A) such Earnout Year and (B) for each subsequent Earnout Year (as set forth on Annex 1 hereto) by adding (X) Target Procedure Revenue for each such Earnout Year (as adjusted, if applicable, pursuant to Section  2.10 (e)(ii) below) to (Y) Target Product Revenue for each such Earnout Year, as adjusted pursuant to Section  2.10(d)(ii) above.
 
Purchaser may not adjust the Deemed Product Price and Target Product Revenue pursuant to this Section  2.10(d) more than once per Earnout Year.
 
(e) In the event that due to external conditions (whether or not market related) the actual amount charged by Purchaser for each Procedure performed during any Earnout Year (utilizing Products sold in unbundled, arms’-length sales to un-Affiliated third parties) is lower, by ten percent (10%) or more, than the applicable Deemed Procedure Price for such Earnout Year (the percentage by which the actual Procedure charge is lower than the Deemed Procedure Price, the “Procedure Reduction Percentage”):
 
(i) the parties shall adjust the Deemed Procedure Price for (A) such Earnout Year and (B) for each subsequent Earnout Year (as set forth on Annex 1 hereto), by a percentage amount equal to Procedure Reduction Percentage;

(g) Notwithstanding Sections  2.10(b) and 2.10(c), no Earnout Payments (Base Earnout Payment or Excess Earnout Payments) shall be owed by Purchaser:

Documents as in violation of any Law, the Company shall, at Purchaser’s request, use commercially reasonable efforts, and Purchaser shall cooperate with the Company, to contest and resist any such Legal Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the other Transaction Documents, including by pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal.
 
(e) The Company will cooperate in taking any action required to be taken by any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that is within its control and that Purchaser reasonably requests the Company to take so long as the effectiveness of such action is conditioned on the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the Company shall not be required to take any actions that, individually or in the aggregate, would in the reasonable judgment of the Company result in a negative impact on the business of the Company if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated.
 
(f) All fees required to be paid in connection with filings required under the HSR Act  in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid fifty-percent (50%) by the Company and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser.  All out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in connection with their respective obligations pursuant to this Section  6.5 shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses.
 
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns that the operation of the Company’s business shall remain in the dominion and control of the Company until the Closing and that none of the foregoing Persons will provide, directly or indirectly, any directions, orders, advice, aid, assistance or information to any director, officer or employee of the Company except as specifically contemplated or permitted by this Section  6.5 and not otherwise in violation of Law.
 
6.6 Further Assurances.  Each of the Company and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
6.7 Non-Competition.
 
(a) Each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees that such Restricted Seller has technical and other expertise associated with the business of the Company including the Restricted Business.  In addition, each Restricted Seller has valuable business contacts with clients and potential clients of the Company.  Furthermore, each Restricted Seller’s reputation and goodwill are an integral part of the Company’s success throughout the areas where it conducts business.  If a Restricted Seller deprives Purchaser of the Restricted Seller’s goodwill or in any manner uses his or her reputation and goodwill in competition with Purchaser in contravention of this Agreement, Purchaser will be deprived of the benefits it has bargained for
 

 
 DAL:0506861/00010:1931463v15

pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.  But for the Restricted Sellers’ entry into the covenants contemplated by this Section  6.7, Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement with the Restricted Sellers.  Each Restricted Seller, in exchange for the consideration to be paid pursuant hereto, is willing to enter into the covenants contemplated by this Section  6.7.
 
(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Purchaser, for a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, except to work with and for the Company or the Purchaser, each Restricted Seller shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, engage in, operate, control, work for, consult with, render services for, do business with, maintain any interest in (proprietary, financial or otherwise) or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business, whether in corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise, engaged in the Restricted Business; provided, however, that the restrictions contained in this Section  6.7 shall not restrict (i) the acquisition by the Restricted Sellers, directly or indirectly, of less than 2% of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly traded company engaged in a Restricted Business or (ii) a Restricted Sellers’ employment by a Person engaged in the Restricted Business to the extent that such Restricted Seller is employed by a division of such Person which is not engaged in the Restricted Business.  Each Restricted Seller acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Company is worldwide and that, accordingly the foregoing restriction shall apply on a worldwide basis.
 
(c) Each Restricted Seller acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other provisions hereof are reasonable, fair and equitable in scope, terms and duration, are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Purchaser, and are a material inducement to Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and Purchaser is relying on the terms of this Section  6.7 in doing so.
 
(d) All of the parties agree that the duration and area for which the covenant not to compete set forth in this Section  6.7 is to be effective have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated parties and specifically hereby agree that such duration and area are reasonable under the circumstances.  The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section  6.7 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then this Section  6.7 shall be deemed a covenant for such lesser period of time, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy and such covenant as modified shall remain in full force and effect and may be enforced against the applicable party.  The parties intend that this covenant shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America and for any other country in the world where this covenant is intended to be effective.  Additionally, the parties intend that this covenant shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants for each Restricted Seller and that the invalidity of any portion of this Section  6.7 as to any Restricted Seller shall not effect the validity of such covenants as to any other Restricted Seller.
 
(e) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section  6.7 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section  6.7 will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser, the amount of which will be
 

 
 DAL:0506861/00010:1931463v15
 
52
 
 

 
 
impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated.  Accordingly, the remedy at Law for any breach of this Section  6.7 will be inadequate.  Therefore, Purchaser will be entitled to a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section  6.7 without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever.  The rights and remedies provided by this Section  6.7 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have hereunder.
 
(f) The covenants set forth in this Section  6.7 are intended to function as an agreement separate from the remainder of this Agreement and the invalidity of any portion of this Section  6.7 shall not affect the continued validity of any other portion of this Agreement.
 
(g) In the event that Purchaser were to seek damages for any breach of this Section  6.7, the Non-Competition Payments delivered to the Sellers hereunder which are allocated by the parties to the foregoing covenant shall not be considered a measure of or limit on such damages.
 
6.8 Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.
 
(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Purchaser, for a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, each Restricted-Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including Affiliates who are Sellers) not to, directly or indirectly cause, solicit, induce or encourage any employees of the Company to leave such employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual unless such employee of the Company was terminated without Cause from his employment with the Company or resigned from such employment for Good Reason.
 
(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Purchaser, for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, each Restricted Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including Affiliates who are Sellers) not to, directly or indirectly:  (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any Material Employees of the Company to leave such employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual unless such Material Employee was terminated without Cause from his employment with the Company or resigned from such employment for Good Reason; or (ii) cause, induce or encourage any material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier, or licensor of the Company (including any existing customer of the Company and any Person that becomes a client or customer of the Company after the Closing) or any other Person who has a material business relationship with the Company, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship.
 
(c) From and after the date hereof and continuing in perpetuity or until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE IX, each Seller shall not and shall use its best efforts to cause his or her directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Purchaser or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Purchaser, any Confidential Information (as defined below).  No Seller shall have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause its officers, directors or Affiliates to keep confidential) any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure
 

 
 DAL:0506861/00010:1931463v15
 
53
 
 

 
 
thereof is specifically required by applicable Law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, the Sellers shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order.  For purposes of this Section  6.8 (c), “Confidential Information” means any information with respect to the Company, including methods of operation, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, Technology, inventions, Trade Secrets, know-how, Software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters.  “Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public on the date of the disclosure or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder, (iii) was known to the receiving party prior to such disclosure by the Seller hereunder (other than any Confidential Information disclosed to the receiving party on a basis under which the receiving party is bound by confidentiality obligations) as evidenced by documentary or other physical evidence predating the date of the disclosure or (iv) was lawfully disclosed or made available to the receiving party by a third party having no obligation to the Seller to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
 
(d) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section  6.8 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section  6.8 will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated.  Accordingly, the remedy at Law for any breach of this Section  6.8 will be inadequate.  Therefore, Purchaser will be entitled to a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section  6.8 without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever.  The rights and remedies provided by this Section  6.8 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have hereunder at law or in equity.
 
(e) The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section  6.8 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then this Section  6.8 shall be deemed a covenant for such lesser period of time, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy and such covenant as modified shall remain in full force and effect and may be enforced against the applicable party.  Additionally, the parties intend that this covenant shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants for each Seller and that the invalidity of any portion of this Section  6.8 as to any Seller shall not effect the validity of such covenants as to any other Seller.
 
(f) The covenants set forth in this Section  6.8 are intended to function as an agreement separate from the remainder of this Agreement and the invalidity of any portion of this Section  6.8 shall not affect the continued validity of any other portion of this Agreement.
 
6.9 Preservation of Records.  Subject to any retention requirements relating to the preservation of Tax records, the Sellers and Purchaser agree that each of them shall (and shall cause the Company to) preserve and keep the records held by them relating to the respective

businesses of the Company for a period of seven years from the Closing Date and shall make such records and personnel available to the other as may be reasonably required by such party in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, legal proceedings against or governmental investigations of the Sellers, the Company or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or in order to enable the Sellers or Purchaser to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby.  In the event the Sellers or Purchaser wishes to destroy (or permit to be destroyed) such records after that time, such party shall first give 90 days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within that 90-day period, to take possession of the records within that 90-day period.
 
6.10 Publicity.
 
(a) None of the Purchaser, the Company or the Sellers shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other party hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless disclosure is otherwise required, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Purchaser or its Affiliates lists securities, provided that, to the extent required by applicable Law, the party intending to make such release shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law to consult with the other party with respect to the text thereof.
 
(b) Each of Purchaser and the Sellers agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall not be disclosed or otherwise made available to the public and that copies of this Agreement shall not be publicly filed or otherwise made available to the public, except where such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law and only to the extent required by such Law.  In the event that such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law, each of Purchaser, the Company and the Sellers (as applicable) agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “confidential treatment” of this Agreement with the SEC (or the equivalent treatment by any other Governmental Authority) and to redact such terms of this Agreement the other party shall request.
 
6.11 Use of Name.  The Sellers hereby agree that upon the Closing, Purchaser and the Company shall have the sole right to the use of the name “LenSx” or similar names and any service marks, trademarks, trade names, d/b/a names, fictitious names, identifying symbols, logos, emblems, signs or insignia related thereto or containing or comprising the foregoing, or otherwise used in the business of the Company, including any name or mark confusingly similar thereto and the Marks listed on Schedule  4.13(a) (collectively, the “Company Marks”).  The Sellers shall not, and shall not permit their respective Affiliates to, use such name or any variation or simulation thereof or any of the Company Marks.  Each of the Sellers shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, immediately after the Closing, cease to hold itself out as having any affiliation with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

8.4 Indemnification Procedures.
 
(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII.
 
(b) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section  8.2 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section  8.3) (a “Third Party Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party.  The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.  Subject to the provisions of this Section  8.4, the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder; provided that the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the indemnified party as provided hereunder.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified by it hereunder, it shall within five (5) days of the indemnified party’s written notice of the assertion

of such Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so; provided, that (i) the indemnifying party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the indemnified party as provided hereunder, (iii) after giving effect to any applicable Deductible, caps and the limitations on recourse specified in Section  8.6, it is reasonably anticipated that, as between the indemnifying party and the indemnified parties, the indemnifying party will actually bear financial responsibility for fifty percent (50%) or more of any Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim, and (iv) the indemnifying party can be reasonably anticipated to have the financial wherewithal (including as a result of any monies in the Escrow Account or any anticipated Earnout Payments) to indemnify the indemnified party if the Third-Party Claim is successful.  If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim.  If the indemnified party defends any Third Party Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills.  If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Third Party Claim.  The parties hereto agree to provide reasonable access to the other to such documents and information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section  8.4 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant or claimants and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim.
 
(c) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement, in each case with respect to a Third Party Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall pay all of such remaining sums so due and owing to the indemnified party in accordance with Section  8.4.

(c) Straddle Period Tax Allocation.  The Company shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close the taxable period of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date.  If applicable law does not permit the Company to close its taxable year on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to the Sellers for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, except to the extent such Taxes were already accounted for in the Net Working Capital Adjustment as a reduction to Closing Working Capital on the Closing Working Capital Statement, and (ii) to Purchaser for the period subsequent to the Closing Date.  Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company as of the close of the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.  In the case of any Taxes of the Company imposed on a periodic basis (including real property and ad valorem Taxes) the allocation between Purchaser and the Sellers described in this Section  8.5 (c) shall be made based on the number of days during the Straddle Period on or before the Closing Date, on the one hand, and the number of days in the Straddle Period after the Closing Date, on the other hand.
 
(d) Tax Audits.
 
(i) If notice of any Legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Claim”) shall be received by either party for which the other party may reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to Section  8.5 (a), the notified party shall notify such other party in writing of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the notified party to give the other party notice as provided herein shall not relieve such failing party of its obligations under this Section  8.5 except to the extent that the other party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.
 
(ii) Purchaser shall have the right, at the expense of the Sellers to the extent such Tax Claim is subject to indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to Section  8.5 hereof, to represent the interests of the Company in any Tax Claim; provided, that with respect to a Tax Claim relating exclusively to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date for which Sellers may reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to Section  8.5 (a), Purchaser shall not settle such claim without the consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
(e) Transfer Taxes and Payment of Other Taxes.  The Sellers shall severally be liable for and shall pay (and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against) all sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, transfer or similar fees or

taxes or governmental charges as levied by any Governmental Authority including any interest and penalties) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Party shall bear all other Taxes arising as a result or payable in respect of this Agreement or its implementation, all to the extent such Taxes apply on each Party under applicable law.
 
(f) Disputes.  Any dispute as to any matter covered hereby shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Sellers and the Purchaser.  The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser on the other.  If any dispute with respect to a Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner which the party responsible for preparing such Tax Return deems correct.
 
(g) Time Limits.  Any claim for indemnity under this Section  8.5 may be made at any time prior to sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable Tax statute of limitations with respect to the relevant taxable period (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive).
 
(h) Exclusivity.  The indemnification provided for in this Section  8.5 shall be the sole remedy for any claim in respect of Taxes, including any claim arising out of or relating to a breach of Section  4.10.  In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section  8.5, on the one hand, and the provisions of Sections  8.1 through 8.3, on the other, the provisions of this Section  8.5 shall control.
 
(i) Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.  The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE III as an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price for all income tax purposes.  If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under ARTICLE III (including this Section  8.5) is determined to be taxable to the party receiving such payment by any Taxing Authority, the paying party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any Losses incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).
 
8.6 Recourse for Indemnity Claims.
 
(a) Any payment the Sellers are obligated to make to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE IV (other than Section  8.7 hereof) shall be paid:
 
(i) first, to the extent there are sufficient funds in the Escrow Account, by release of funds to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent within five (5) Business Days after the date notice of any sums due and owing is given to the Sellers (by delivery to the Sellers’ Representatives) (with a copy to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) by the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party and shall accordingly reduce the Escrow Balance; and
 
(ii) second, by withholding of funds from any future Earnout Payments (including from the portion of any Earnout Payment not constituting an Escrowed Earnout

71
 
 

 
 
Amount, such that any Escrowed Earnout Amount will be deposited in the Escrow Account without prior deduction).
 
(b) Notwithstanding Section  8.6 (a), to the extent that any Seller is obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section  8.2(a)(ii), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (i) shall be permitted (but shall not be required) to recover such sums due and owing in accordance with the priorities specified in Section  8.6 (a), and may in, lieu thereof (ii) require such Seller to pay all sums due and owing to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that, except in the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the maximum amount the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may recover from any Seller pursuant to this clause (b) shall not exceed the cash distributions to such Seller pursuant to this Agreement (including the actual or later release of any Escrow Amount or any Earnout Payment) (treating any withholding Taxes withheld on amounts paid to such Seller, or other amounts withheld pre-Tax on amounts otherwise payable to any Sellers, as if they had been paid to such Seller for this purpose).
 
(c) To the extent that, on the date any Earnout Payment is to be made there exist indemnity claims which were asserted by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period and which are not yet resolved (“Unresolved Claims”) the Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) retain an amount (up to the total amount of the Earnout Payment) equal to the amount of the Unresolved Claims (subject to the limitations in Section  8.3) but only to the extent that the amount of such Unresolved Claims exceeds the then-current Escrow Balance (including any Escrowed Earnout Amount to be deposited into the Escrow Account in connection with such Earnout Payment(s), if any) which is not then subject to a notice on account to any prior Unresolved Claim.  Any portion of an Earnout Payment retained by Purchaser for Unresolved Claims shall be released by Purchaser (to the extent not utilized to pay Purchaser for any such claims resolved in favor of a Purchaser Indemnified Party) upon their resolution in accordance with this ARTICLE III.
 
8.7 Freedom to Operate Payments and Recourse.  Except for any Royalty FTO Payments paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates for any Base Earnout Year in which Deemed Net Revenue does not exceed Target Net Revenue (which economic burden shall be borne solely by Purchaser), each of Purchaser and Sellers shall bear fifty percent (50%) of the economic burden of any FTO Payments in the manner set forth in this Section  8.7.
 
(a) One-Time FTO Payments.  Sellers shall bear the economic burden of fifty percent of any One-Time FTO Payments as follows:
 
(i) first, to the extent there are sufficient funds in the Escrow Account, by release of funds equal to fifty percent (50%) of such One-Time FTO Payment to Purchaser from the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent within five (5) Business Days after the date notice of any sums due and owing is given to the Sellers (by delivery to the Sellers’ Representatives) (with a copy to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) by Purchaser Indemnified Party and shall accordingly reduce the Escrow Balance; and
 

 
 DAL:0506861/00010:1931463v15
 
72
 
 


(ii) second, by withholding of funds from any future Earnout Payments (including from the portion of any Earnout Payment not constituting an Escrowed Earnout Amount, such that any Escrowed Earnout Amount will be deposited in the Escrow Account without prior deduction).

(i) Prior to the Escrow Release Date Sellers shall bear the economic burden of fifty percent of any Royalty FTO Payments solely through the deduction from Deemed Gross Revenue contemplated by clause (ii) of the definition of “Deemed Net Revenue.”
 
(ii) Following the Escrow Release Date Sellers shall bear the economic burden of fifty percent (50%) of any Royalty FTO Payments solely by release of funds to Purchaser from the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent (no more frequently than on a quarterly basis) equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Royalty FTO Payments made by Purchaser (and not previously recovered by Purchaser through an offset against Deemed Gross Revenue or through a previous release from the Escrow Account), to the extent there are sufficient funds in the Escrow Account, within five (5) Business Days after the date notice of any sums due and owing is given to the Sellers (with a copy to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) by Purchaser and shall accordingly reduce the Escrow Balance.
 
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall not be obligated to bear fifty percent (50%) of the economic burden of any FTO Payments to the extent that such fifty percent (50%) burden (including by way of offset from Deemed Gross Revenue in the computation of Deemed Net Revenue pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof and by way of recourse to the Escrow Account) exceeds in the aggregate, when aggregated with any indemnifiable Losses which are subject to the Cap, $200,000,000 (the “FTO Cap”).

10.4 Specific Performance.  The Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law.  Therefore, the obligations of the Sellers and Purchaser under this Agreement, including the Sellers’ obligation to sell the Company Securities to Purchaser, shall
 

 
 DAL:0506861/00010:1931463v15

be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.  Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
10.5 Successors and Assignees.
 
(a) If the Company Securities shall at any time be sold or transferred by Purchaser following the Closing, the burdens and benefits of each of the obligations, undertakings, indemnities, representations or warranties undertaken or given by the Sellers or the Purchaser under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be assignable to the purchaser or transferee of the Company Securities and such purchaser or transferee shall be entitled to enforce the same against the Sellers as if it were named in this Agreement as the Purchaser and Sellers shall be entitled to enforce the same against any such purchaser or transferee as if such purchaser or transferee were named in this Agreement as the Purchaser.
 
(b) Save as set out herein, no assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either the Sellers or Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including Purchaser’s rights to purchase the Company Securities and Purchaser’s rights to seek indemnification hereunder) to any Affiliate of Purchaser or any Person to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates proposes to sell all or substantially all of the assets relating to the business.  Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.
 
(c) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
 
10.6 Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Purchaser, the Company and the Sellers shall each be responsible for their respective costs in connection with transactions contemplated hereby.  The Sellers shall be responsible for costs in connection with (a) any other documents or actions relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) all expenses and charges incurred by the Company in connection with the preparation, negotiation, or execution of this Agreement and all ancillary documents.
 
10.7 Delays or Omissions; Waiver.  The rights of a party may be waived by such party only in writing and specifically; the conduct of any one of the parties shall not be deemed a waiver of any of its rights pursuant to this Agreement and/or as a waiver or consent on its part as to any breach or failure to meet any of the terms of this Agreement or as an amendment hereto.  No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.  The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.  No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or
 

 
 DAL:0506861/00010:1931463v15
 
81
 
 

 
 
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.
 
10.8 Amendment.  This Agreement (together with the recitals, schedules, appendices, annexes and exhibits attached hereto) may be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought.
 
10.9 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (together with the recitals, schedules, appendices, annexes and exhibits attached hereto) contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and all prior negotiations, discussions, agreements, commitments and understandings between them with respect thereto not expressly contained herein shall be null and void in their entirety, effective immediately with no further action required.
 
10.10 Severability.
 
(a) If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
 
(b) Where provisions of any applicable Law resulting in such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability may be waived, they are hereby waived by each party to the full extent permitted so that this Agreement shall be deemed valid and binding agreements, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms.
 
10.11 Counterparts, Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  A signed Agreement received by a party hereto via facsimile will be deemed an original, and binding upon the party who signed it.
 
10.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.
 
(a) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Texas over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.  The parties hereby irrevocably waive,
 

 
 DAL:0506861/00010:1931463v15
 
82
 
 

 
 
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
 
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section  10.12.
 
(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.  THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
 
10.13 Governing Law.  The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to conflict of laws.
 
10.14 Further Actions.  At any time and from time to time, each party agrees, without further consideration, to take such actions and to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
 
10.15 No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement shall create or confer upon any person or entity, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities, except as expressly provided herein.
