2. Purchase Price.

2.1 Payment of Purchase Price to Company.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Assets is $8,000,000:

(i) less any cash, cash equivalents, or accounts receivable related to the Business, measured as of the Closing Date, retained by Spire or its Affiliates (the “Retained Assets”);

(ii) less any Excess Liabilities actually assumed by Masimo;

(iii) plus or minus, as applicable, any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.1(e); and

(iv) plus the amount of the Assumed Liabilities.

The amount as calculated pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”.

(b) The Company shall deliver to Masimo, on or before March 6, 2012, a preliminary balance sheet of the Business as of February 29, 2012 prepared in good faith in accordance with GAAP (the “Preliminary Balance Sheet”). Based on such Preliminary Balance Sheet, the Company shall identify (i) which of the items described in Section 2.1(a)(i) above it intends to retain at Closing (the amount of such items, the “Preliminary Retained Assets”), and (ii) the amount by which the total value of the liabilities shown on the Preliminary Balance Sheet to be assumed by Masimo exceeds $500,000 (the “Preliminary Excess Liabilities”). The Company shall also calculate a preliminary estimate of the Straddle-Period Expenses as set forth in Section 2.1(e) and identify whether the net amount of such expenses shall be charged to Masimo or the Company (such amounts, the “Preliminary Straddle-Period Expenses”). Masimo shall have the right to review and comment on the amounts calculated in accordance with this Section 2.1(b) and the proposed allocation of Preliminary Straddle-Period Expenses, and the Company and Masimo shall agree on such amounts in good faith on or prior to the Closing Date. The “Preliminary Purchase Price” shall be equal to $8,000,000, less the Preliminary Retained Assets, less the Preliminary Excess Liabilities, plus or minus, as the case may be, the Preliminary Straddle-Period Expenses.

(c) At the Closing, Masimo shall deliver as payment on account of the Purchase Price: (i) ninety percent (90%) of the Preliminary Purchase Price (the “Closing Payment”), which will be paid to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to written transfer instructions delivered to Masimo by the Company at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing, and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the Preliminary Purchase Price (the “Escrow Fund”), which will be paid by wire transfer to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Fund shall be held pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement and will be held by the Escrow Agent as collateral and partial security to secure the rights of the Masimo Indemnitees under Section 10. The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent until 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”); provided, however, that in the event any Masimo Indemnitee has made a

claim under Section 10 prior to the end of the Escrow Period, then, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Period shall continue in respect of that portion of the Escrow Fund subject to the claim (and the Escrow Agent will continue to hold such portion of the Escrow Fund in escrow) until such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(d) Not more than thirty (30) days after the Closing, the Company shall prepare in good faith a final balance sheet of the Business as of the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and, based on such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, shall calculate the amounts of the Retained Assets, the Excess Liabilities, the Straddle-Period Expenses and the Purchase Price. The Company shall deliver such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet along with the calculations described in this Section 2.1(d) to Masimo promptly thereafter. Masimo shall have thirty (30) days to review such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations described herein. During such thirty (30) day period, the Company shall provide promptly to Masimo all information and reasonable access to employees as Masimo shall reasonably request in connection with the review of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, including all work papers of the Company who prepared or reviewed such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. If within such thirty (30)-day period, Masimo has not disputed such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet or the calculations described therein, such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations therein shall be final for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed the “Closing Balance Sheet.” If, and to the extent that Masimo disputes any amounts in good faith, Masimo and the Company shall meet and jointly discuss such disputes and work in good faith to come to a mutually agreed upon resolution. Upon the final resolution of such matter, the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and calculations derived therefrom, reflecting any revisions mutually agreed upon, shall be deemed the “Closing Balance Sheet” and final for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon the final agreement by the Company and Masimo on the Closing Balance Sheet and the determination of the Retained Assets, the Excess Liabilities, the Straddle-Period Expenses and the Purchase Price, the parties shall determine the difference between the Preliminary Purchase Price and the Purchase Price. To the extent that the Purchase Price exceeds the Preliminary Purchase Price, Masimo shall make payment of such amount to the Company within five (5) business days. To the extent that the Preliminary Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price, the Company shall make payment of such amount to Masimo within five (5) business days. Such amount shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or Masimo, as the case may be, at least one (1) day prior to such payment being made.

(e) Government Payments and other expense items such as rent, utilities and similar expenses with respect to the Assets or the Business that relate to a period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date are considered “Straddle-Period Expenses” and shall be apportioned among the parties such that Spire shall be liable for that portion of such Straddle-Period Expenses relating to, or arising in respect of, periods through the Closing Date, and Masimo shall be liable for that portion of such Straddle-Period Expenses relating to, or arising in respect of, periods after Closing Date. Such expenses shall be apportioned between Spire and Masimo pursuant to Schedule 2.1(e) and shall be taken into account in the Purchase Price adjustments under this Section 2.1. To the extent the amounts of any such pro-ratable items are not finally known at the time of the Closing, appropriate settlement shall be made within ten (10) days after the amount of any such item is finally known and determined. Any adjustment to the Purchase

Price shall be paid solely in cash.

2.2 Possession. The assignment to Masimo Subsidiary of Spire’s rights, title and interest in and to the Assets, and the transfer of the Assumed Liabilities to Masimo Subsidiary, will be effective as between Spire and Masimo Subsidiary as of the close of business (Pacific Time) on the Closing Date.

2.3 Sales, Use and Transfer Tax. The Company and Masimo each shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of any documentary transfer taxes and any sales, use or other taxes, duties, fees and governmental exactions imposed by reason of the transfer of the Assets provided hereunder and any deficiency, interest or penalty asserted with respect thereto.

2.4 Allocation of Purchase Price and Adjustments. Schedule 2.4 sets forth the methodology by which the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Assets for tax purposes shall be prepared. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing, Masimo shall provide the Company with a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price in relation to the Assets (the “Allocation”), which shall be based on and consistent with Schedule 2.4. Such Allocation shall provide the consideration payable in respect of such Assets. Upon receipt by the Company, the Company shall have thirty (30) days to review and comment on the Allocation. If within such thirty (30)-day period, the Company has not disputed such Allocation, such Allocation shall be final for all purposes and binding on the parties. To the extent that the Company disputes the Allocation in good faith within such thirty (30)-day period, the parties shall meet and jointly discuss such disputes and work in good faith to come to a mutually agreed upon resolution. In the event the parties fail to reach a mutually agreed upon resolution within thirty (30) days after the Company first provides Masimo with notice that it disputes the Allocation, the parties shall jointly engage an independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”) which shall be independent from each of Masimo and Spire and mutually agreeable to the parties to determine the Allocation. The Allocation, as determined by the Independent Accountant using the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.4, shall be deemed final for all purposes and binding on the parties. Each party agrees that it will not, in its Government Returns or elsewhere, take a position inconsistent with the allocations provided for in the Allocation deemed final under this Section 2.4. The Company and Masimo each shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of any fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the engagement of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.4.

3. Closing. The purchase and sale of the Assets shall be consummated at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Paul Hastings LLP, in Costa Mesa, California, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on March 9, 2012, or at such other time, date or place as Masimo and Spire may agree in writing (such date and time being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”).

4. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary.

The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the ownership, use or leasing of the Assets, or the conduct or nature of the Business as and to the extent now conducted makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Transferring Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which the ownership, use or leasing of the Assets, or the conduct or nature of the Business as and to the extent now conducted makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company is the sole member of the Transferring Subsidiary. There are no existing options, warrants, rights, calls or commitments of any character relating to the equity interests or assets of the Transferring Subsidiary.

This Agreement and the Collateral Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary and constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary enforceable against the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

4.4 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under (with or without notice or passage of time, or both), or otherwise give any Person a basis for accelerated or increased rights or termination or nonperformance under, any Purchased Contract or other contract to which any of the Assets is bound or affected, (b) result in the violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company or the Transferring Subsidiary or any applicable statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, permit, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award, whether foreign or domestic (“Legal Requirement”), or (c) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any Asset or any of the assets owned, used or controlled by the Company or the Transferring Subsidiary.

10.5 Third Party Claims.

(a) Within five (5) days after receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it in good faith disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will seek to defend against any Third Party Claim at its own cost and expense; provided that, in the event the Indemnifying Party seeks to defend against such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must (i) use counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; and (ii) within such five (5)-day period, provide evidence acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has adequate financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its obligations under this Section 10.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.5(a): (i) it shall diligently conduct the defense and, so long as it diligently conducts the defense, shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any Indemnified Party’s fees or expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim other than reasonable costs of investigation; (ii) the election will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Indemnifiable Claim are within the scope of and entitled to indemnification; (iii) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation by the Indemnified Party of any Legal Requirement or any rights of any Person, (B) the Indemnified Party receives a full release of and from any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party and for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10, by each Person bringing the Third Party Claim, and (C) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid

in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in the manner and within the period provided in Section 10.5(a), or if the Indemnifying Party does not diligently conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any determination resulting from such Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect it or any Affiliate other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to relief under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of any Indemnifiable Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) Any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related proceeding at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel. Both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and shall cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.

(f) Each Indemnified Party and each Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in a manner to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each Indemnified Party and each Indemnifying Party agrees that: (i) it shall use its reasonable best efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure); and (ii) all communications between any Person and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(g) Any claim under this Section 10 for any matter involving a Third Party Claim shall be indemnified, paid or reimbursed promptly. If the Indemnified Party shall for any reason assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for the costs of investigation and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party.

10.6 Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims and Escrow. Masimo’s claims for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 shall be satisfied first from funds held in escrow pursuant

to Section 2.1(c), and then, to the extent the funds held in escrow are insufficient to pay all such claims, directly by Spire, subject to the provisions of Section 10.3. The procedure for payments from escrow shall be governed by the Escrow Agreement. The procedure for making and paying claims for indemnification that arise after the expiration of the Escrow Period shall be governed by the same procedures for resolution set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

10.7 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, Section 10 shall provide the exclusive remedy for any breach of representation or warranty, covenant or other agreement or claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than as set forth in Section 11.5, and with respect to claims for fraud, willful misrepresentation or willful breach.

10.8 Diminution of Value. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that Damages shall not include any diminution of value.

11. Covenants Not to Compete, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality.

11.1 Covenant Not To Compete. Each of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary covenants and agrees that none of the Company, the Transferring Subsidiary or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company or Transferring Subsidiary (whether now existing or formed after the date of this Agreement) (each, an “Other Subsidiary”) shall, for the account of the Company, Transferring Subsidiary or Other Subsidiary, or jointly with another, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any Person, as principal, agent, stockholder, participant, partner, promoter, director, officer, manager, member, employee, consultant, sales representative, or otherwise: (i) for a period beginning with the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, engage or invest in, consult with, or own, control, manage, assist or otherwise participate in the ownership, control, or management of, or render services or advice to, or lend its name to or in connection with any business, activity or other function that competes with the Business, and (ii) for a period beginning with the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, solicit or induce any individual employed by Masimo who was an employee of the Company or the Transferring Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing to leave such employment (other than through standard publications in trade journals and other general forms of advertising) (collectively, the “Restrictions”). In addition, any entity that now or hereafter holds a majority of the outstanding voting interests of the Company, the Transferring Subsidiary or any Other Subsidiary, or that acquires after the Closing all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Transferring Subsidiary or any Other Subsidiary, shall be subject to the Restrictions if it hires one or more Transferred Employees. The Company and the Transferring Subsidiary each represent that it has operated the Business throughout the world and given the contacts established by the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary throughout the world, the scope of this provision is reasonable.

11.2 Confidential Information of the Business. From and after the Closing, the Company, the Transferring Subsidiary, their Affiliates, and their respective employees and agents shall hold and treat all technical, business and other information of or about the Business which

derives value from not being generally known to the public (“Confidential Information”) in confidence, and shall not, without the prior written consent of Masimo, disclose or reveal any Confidential Information to any other Person. The Company and the Transferring Subsidiary each also agree that from and after the Closing, no Confidential Information will be used by the Company, the Transferring Subsidiary or their employees or agents. With respect to Confidential Information that does not constitute a trade secret under applicable law, the obligations of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary in this Section 11.2 shall continue until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. With respect to Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, the obligations of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary in this Section 11.2 shall continue for as long as such Confidential Information continues to constitute a trade secret under applicable law. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the obligations of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary set forth in this Section 11.2 shall not apply to any information which is required to be disclosed by law or by subpoena, civil investigative demand or other legal process or by any request of any Governmental Entity.

11.3 Covenant not to Sue. Each of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary covenants and agrees that, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing, none of the Selling Group Members, for the account of any Selling Group Member or jointly with another, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any Person, as principal, agent, stockholder, participant, partner, promoter, manager, member, consultant, sales representative, or otherwise, will sue Masimo or any successor or assign under any intellectual property rights for the use, practice, sale, or offering for sale, of any of the Assets or products made, used, sold or offered for sale using or incorporating any of the Assets.

11.4 Severability. In the event any of the covenants in this Section 11 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time, or over too great a geographical area, or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

11.5 Specific Performance. The Company and the Transferring Subsidiary acknowledge that a breach of the covenants contained in this Section 11 will cause irreparable damage to Masimo, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary agree that if either the Company or the Transferring Subsidiary breaches the covenants contained in this Section 11, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, Masimo shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief, without, in the event of a final judgment, posting a bond or other security.

12. General Provisions.

This Agreement, including the annexes, schedules and exhibits attached hereto and other documents referred to herein, and the confidentiality provisions of the separate nondisclosure agreement signed by the parties, contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect of their subject matter and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral and written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter (including the letter of intent dated January 27, 2012).

12.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any party, other than to its lenders, without the written consent of the other parties and any such purported assignment by any party without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Masimo may, without obtaining the consent of any party hereto, assign all of the rights and remedies of Masimo with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary under this Agreement to any current or prospective holder of Indebtedness of Masimo or any Affiliate of Masimo.

12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including electronically transmitted counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

12.7 Recitals, Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules. The recitals, exhibits, schedules and annexes to this Agreement are incorporated herein and made a part hereof as if fully set forth at length herein. Any reference to a “Schedule” or “Schedules” in this Agreement includes those Schedules made a part of that certain Disclosure Letter from the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary to Masimo dated March 9, 2012, and delivered by the Company and the Transferring Subsidiary concurrently herewith (the “Disclosure Letter”).

12.9 Construction. The article, section and subsection headings used herein are inserted for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation

of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, unless a clear contrary intention appears: (a) the singular number includes the plural number and vice versa; (b) reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and assigns but, if applicable, only if such successors and assigns are not prohibited by this Agreement, and reference to a Person in a particular capacity excludes such Person in any other capacity or individually; (c) reference to any gender includes each other gender; (d) reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time-to-time in accordance with the terms thereof; (e) “hereunder,” “hereto” and words of similar import shall be deemed references to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article, section, subsection or other provision thereof; (f) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term; (g) “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or;” (h) relative to the determination of any period of time, “from” means “from and including” and “to” means “to but excluding;” and (i) references to documents, instruments or agreements shall be deemed to refer as well to all addenda, exhibits, schedules or amendments thereto. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and in the event of any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation, no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

12.10 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Delaware. Any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement shall be brought or otherwise commenced exclusively in any state or federal court located in the County of New Castle, State of Delaware. Each party to this Agreement:

(a) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of each state and federal court located in the County of New Castle, State of Delaware (and each appellate court located in the State of Delaware) in connection with any legal proceeding;

(b) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. mail addressed to it at the address set forth in Section 12.1 shall constitute effective service of such process, summons, notice or document for purposes of any such legal proceeding;

(c) agrees that, solely with respect to this Agreement, each state and federal court located in the County of New Castle, State of Delaware, shall be deemed to be a convenient forum;

(d) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in the County of New Castle, State of Delaware, any claim by either Spire or Masimo that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court; and

(e) agrees that a final judgment in any proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

12.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES OF THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

12.12 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any dispute related to or based upon this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
