The Initial Closing Statements shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement and be accompanied by reasonable supporting detail. During the five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller and the Company Group shall provide Acquiror and its representatives with access to information that Acquiror reasonably requests relating to the Initial Closing Statements and Seller’s preparation thereof. Seller shall consider in good faith any changes Acquiror proposes to the Initial Closing Statements.

The Preliminary Adjustment Statements shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement and be accompanied by reasonable supporting detail. For the avoidance of doubt, the Preliminary Adjustment Statements will be adjusted to take into account any items reflected thereon which items have been paid by the Seller from assets outside of the Company Group and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.1(b) but prior to the determination of the Final Purchase Price, so as to avoid double-counting of such items.

(iii) Acquiror shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any action with respect to the accounting books, records, policies and procedures of the Company Group and its Subsidiaries that would obstruct or prevent the preparation or review of the Preliminary Adjustment Statements. Acquiror shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause the Company Group and its Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate, with Seller in the review of each of the Preliminary Adjustment Statements, including (A) providing Seller and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), facilities and employees of the foregoing and (B) cooperating in all reasonable respects with Seller and its representatives, including the provision on a timely basis of all other information necessary in connection with the review of such Preliminary Adjustment Statements; subject to Access Limitations; provided, that the accountants of Acquiror shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Seller except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after Seller has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers and confidentiality in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(iv) If Seller disagrees with any of the items included in the Preliminary Adjustment Statements, then Seller may, within the sixty (60) day period immediately following Seller’s receipt of the Preliminary Adjustment Statements, deliver a written notice of the specific item in disagreement to Acquiror (a “Notice of Disagreement”). Each disagreement contained in a Notice of Disagreement will specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Disputed Item, as well as a reasonable basis therefor and relevant supporting documentation and calculations (each specific item in disagreement meeting the requirements of this Section 2.4(c)(iv) and included in a timely Notice of Disagreement, a “Disputed Item”), and any other items and amounts that are not Disputed Items, and the calculation thereof, set forth in the Preliminary Adjustment Statements shall be final and binding on the parties. If Seller does not deliver a timely Notice of Disagreement meeting the requirements of this Section 2.4(c)(iv), then the Preliminary Adjustment Statements delivered by Acquiror pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(ii) above shall be final and binding on the parties and deemed to set forth the Final Purchase Price. If Seller delivers a timely Notice of Disagreement meeting the requirements of this Section 2.4(c)(iv), then, during the thirty (30) day period following

delivery of such Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”), Acquiror and Seller shall seek in good faith to resolve the Disputed Item(s). During the Resolution Period, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Acquiror in its review of Notice of Disagreement, including (A) provide Acquiror and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), facilities and employees of the foregoing and (B) cooperate in all reasonable respects with Acquiror and its representatives, including the provision on a timely basis of all other information necessary in connection with the review of such Notice of Disagreement, subject to Access Limitations; provided that the accountants of Seller shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Acquiror except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after Acquiror has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers and confidentiality in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(v) If, at the end of the Resolution Period, Acquiror and Seller have not resolved each Disputed Item, then either Acquiror or Seller may cause each unresolved Disputed Item to be submitted to Ernst & Young LLP (it being agreed a separate group that does not provide services to Acquiror or Seller will be dedicated to resolving any Disputed Item) or, if Ernst & Young LLP is unwilling or unable to serve, a nationally-recognized accounting firm mutually agreed to by Seller and Acquiror (the “Accounting Firm”), for review and resolution. The Accounting Firm shall, and Acquiror and Seller shall cause the Accounting Firm to, (A) act as an expert and not an arbitrator, (B) make a final determination based solely on the applicable provisions of this Agreement (and not by independent review), including application of the Accounting Principles, (C) base its decision on a single presentation submitted in writing by each of Acquiror and Seller and on one (1) written response to each such presentation (unless the Accounting Firm requests an additional response from either Acquiror or Seller), and not on independent investigation, and (D) with respect to each unresolved Disputed Item, render a determination within the ranges of values claimed by each of Acquiror and Seller (which shall not be greater than or less than the values set forth in the Preliminary Adjustment Statements or the Notice of Disagreement, as applicable). Each of Seller and Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a final determination as to each Disputed Item within thirty (30) days following the engagement of the Accounting Firm. During such thirty (30) day period, each of Acquiror and Seller shall provide the Accounting Firm with reasonable access to information relating to any Disputed Item, subject to Access Limitations. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Seller, on the one hand, and Acquiror, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items unsuccessfully disputed by each (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm for review and resolution.

(vi) The final determination as to each Disputed Item as determined by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, absent a showing of a mathematical error by the Accounting Firm or fraud or willful misconduct. The Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be referred to herein as the “Final Purchase Price”.

(d) Adjustment to Estimated Purchase Price.

(i) If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then Acquiror shall pay, or cause to be paid, an aggregate amount equal to such excess

within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of such amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one (1) or more accounts as designated in writing by Seller.

(ii) If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then (1) Acquiror and Seller shall deliver joint written instructions, instructing the Escrow Agent to pay an amount equal to such shortfall to Acquiror from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and (2) Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, such shortfall amount within five (5) Business Days from the date of the joint written instructions by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Agent for credit toward the Indemnification Escrow Fund; provided, that if the amount of such shortfall exceeds the then-remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, then Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, such shortfall amount within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of such amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one (1) or more accounts as designated in writing by Acquiror.

2.5 Escrow. At the Closing, Seller, Acquiror and the Escrow Agent shall enter into an Escrow Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex C (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which the Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be deposited into an escrow account with the Escrow Agent for the purpose of funding Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and Article IX hereof (such amount held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the “Indemnification Escrow Fund”). Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, all funds remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, net of (i) any shortfall amount that has not been paid by Seller pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(ii)(B)(2) and (ii) funds equal to the amount of pending claims asserted prior to the Escrow Release Date, shall be released by the Escrow Agent for distribution to Seller no later than five (5) Business Days following the Escrow Release Date pursuant to joint written instructions, instructing the Escrow Agent to release such amount in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, and as each pending claim is finally determined, the excess amount of the corresponding reserve over the amount of the resolved claim shall be released by the Escrow Agent for distribution to Seller pursuant to joint written instructions, instructing the Escrow Agent to release such excess funds. Acquiror shall pay the fees of the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement.

2.6 Withholding. Acquiror, the Company Group and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amount otherwise payable with respect to this Agreement (including any amounts payable pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom or with respect thereto under the Code or other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts (a) shall be timely remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Acquiror, the Company Group, or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall timely furnish copies of all required Tax Returns (or the relevant sections thereof) reporting such withheld amounts. Acquiror, the Company Group, or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Person with respect to such deduction and withholding is to be made (other than in respect of any compensatory withholding or withholding required as a result of Seller’s failure to comply with Section 2.3(a)(v) hereof) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of any withholding and agree to reasonably cooperate with Seller, at its request and expense, to minimize any required withholding.

2.7 Treatment. For the avoidance of doubt, all payments made under Sections 2.4 and 2.5 shall constitute an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

2.8 Purchase Price Apportionment and Allocation.

(a) The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Company Group for all Tax purposes in accordance with the percentages set forth on Exhibit 2.9 attached hereto (the “Tier 1 Purchase Price Allocation”).

(b) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Acquiror shall deliver to Seller an allocation of the Purchase Price and other relevant items attributable to the purchase and sale of Caidan Management and MeridianRx pursuant to the Tier 1 Purchase Price Allocation among the assets of Caidan Management and MeridianRx, respectively, for all Tax purposes (the “Tier 2 Purchase Price Allocation” and together with the Tier 1 Purchase Price Allocation, the “Purchase Price Allocations”). The Tier 2 Purchase Price Allocation shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and in accordance with the procedures and principles set forth on Annex E. In the event of any dispute with respect to the Tier 2 Purchase Price Allocation, the parties shall work together in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts. If the parties are unable to reach such agreement, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c)(v). The parties agree to (A) be bound by the Purchase Price Allocations as finally determined hereunder, (B) act in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocations in connection with the preparation, filing, and audit of any Tax Return (including, without limitation, in the filing of IRS Form 8594 and any other corresponding Tax forms) and (C) take no position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocations for any Tax purpose (including in any Tax Contest) except as required pursuant to final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code.

Transaction Documents, except (i) compliance with the HSR Act, (ii) compliance with the CMS Notice Requirements, (iii) the Required Company Consents and (iv) any such filings, notices, permits, authorizations, registrations, consents or approvals, the failure to make or obtain has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither Acquiror nor its Affiliates shall take without the prior written consent of Seller (and neither the Company Group nor its Subsidiaries shall be required to take) any action contemplated by this Section 6.3 with respect to the Company Group or its Subsidiaries the effectiveness or consummation of which is not conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing. Nothing in this Section 6.3 imposes any obligations on Seller or any of its Affiliates as to any interests or holdings of Seller or any of its Affiliates, other than the Company Group and its Subsidiaries, either prior to or after the Closing.

6.4 Access.

(a) From the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, the Company Group and Seller shall afford to Acquiror and its employees and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, and in a manner so as to not interfere unreasonably with the normal business operations of the Company Group, to (i) the books and records, employees and properties of the Company Group and (ii) such additional financial and operating data and other information relating to the Company

Group and its business and assets as Acquiror may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Group and Seller shall have no such obligations with respect to (a) information that, if provided, would adversely affect the ability of Seller or any of its Affiliates to assert attorney-client or attorney work product privilege or a similar privilege, (b) information relating to communications regarding the divesture of Seller, any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries (including information relating to the identity of other Persons expressing an interest in acquiring Seller, any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries and the terms of all such proposals) and (c) information that, in the reasonable opinion of Seller’s legal counsel, would be reasonably expected to result in a violation of any Law or Order or any Contract executed prior to the date of this Agreement (it being understood that the Company Group and Seller shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to Acquiror to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or violating such Law or Order or such Contract).

(b) The parties hereto agree that all information obtained from any other party hereto or its Affiliates, officers, agents, representatives or employees, whether or not relating to the business of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, which, notwithstanding anything contained therein, shall remain in full force and effect following the execution of this Agreement and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate.

(c) Other than as contemplated by Section 6.4(a), none of Acquiror, any Affiliate of Acquiror or any employee or representative of any of the foregoing shall, directly or indirectly, contact or communicate with any employees or consultants of Seller, any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries or any Third Party that has business dealings with Seller, any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or perform or cause to be performed any invasive or subsurface investigation of the properties and facilities of any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, except with the express prior written consent of Seller in each instance.

6.5 Notification of Certain Matters. From the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement (a) the Company Group and Seller shall give Acquiror prompt notice in writing of any effect, change, event, occurrence, state of facts, circumstance or development that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Company Group and Seller, on the other hand, shall give each other prompt notice in writing of: (i) any effect, change, event, occurrence, state of facts, circumstance or development that (A) renders, or would reasonably be expected to render, any representation or warranty of such party set forth in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate to an extent such that the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.3(a), as applicable, would not be satisfied if the Closing were to then occur or (B) constitutes a breach or default of any covenant or agreement of such party set forth in this Agreement to an extent such that the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(b) and 7.3(b), as applicable, would not be satisfied if the Closing were to then occur; or (ii) any Action commenced or, to the Knowledge of Seller or to the Knowledge of Acquiror, as applicable, threatened against or otherwise affecting the notifying party, which relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction

Documents; provided, that no such notification, nor any failure to make such notification, shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the parties.

6.6 Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller agrees that no member of the Company Group, any of its Subsidiaries, nor Seller, nor shall any member of the Company Group, any of its Subsidiaries, nor Seller permit their respective controlling persons, equityholders, employees, officers, board directors, Affiliates, advisors, agents or other representatives to: (a) encourage, initiate, solicit, entertain, negotiate, facilitate, discuss, accept, approve, endorse or agree to, directly or indirectly, any proposal or offer (a “Proposal”) by a Third Party (other than Acquiror or any other Person Acquiror designates) regarding (i) the sale or license of all or any material assets of any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the sale of obsolete assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or with respect to the Restructuring (including with respect to Meridian Iowa)) or (ii) any sale of Equity Equivalents, merger, business combination, joint venture, consolidation, public offering, recapitalization, refinancing or other similar transaction involving any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, transfers amongst direct equityholders of Seller or transfers by direct equityholders of Seller to any trust or other estate planning vehicle, the sole beneficiaries of which are such current equityholder’s spouse or lineal descendants (the transactions referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, each a “Competing Transaction”), (b) provide any information regarding any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries (including this Agreement and any other materials containing Acquiror’s or its Affiliates’ proposal) to any Person who has made or would reasonably be expected to make a Proposal regarding a Competing Transaction (other than to Acquiror or its representatives and agents and any other Person designated by Acquiror) or (c) enter into any Competing Transaction or any agreement, memorandum of understanding or letter of intent relating thereto. Each member of the Company Group, each of its Subsidiaries, Seller and each of their respective controlling persons, equityholders, employees, officers, board directors, Affiliates, advisors, agents or other representatives, as applicable, shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any previously undertaken or ongoing activities, discussions or negotiations with any other Person with respect to any Competing Transaction (other than with Acquiror or its representatives and agents and any other Person Acquiror designates). Seller shall (A) promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) notify Acquiror if it, any member of the Company Group or any of their controlling persons, equityholders, board directors, officers or Affiliates or, to the Knowledge of Seller, any of its advisors, agents or other representatives, as applicable, receives after the date of this Agreement, any Proposal regarding a Competing Transaction or any indications of interest or requests for information in respect of such Proposal and (B) promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) request in writing that all Persons who have or could be expected to make a Proposal regarding a Competing Transaction and to whom nonpublic information concerning any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries has been distributed on or prior to the date of this Agreement destroy or return such information to any member of the Company Group as soon as possible (and, if applicable under contractual arrangements between any Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries and such Persons, certify as to the destruction of such information) and immediately cause any Third Party (other than Acquiror or its representatives and agents and any other Person Acquiror designates) to cease to have any access to the Data Room or any similar data site.

6.7 Cash and Cash Equivalents. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment is negative, Seller shall cause the Company Group to have an aggregate amount of Cash on Hand equal to or greater than the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment and $0.

6.8 Directors and Officers. Prior to or concurrently with the Closing, Acquiror or its Affiliates shall obtain and pay for extended reporting periods (or “tails”) for any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies that (a) provide coverage for the period from the Closing Date and ending six (6) years from the Closing Date, (b) cover current or former directors or officers of each member of the Company Group who is or prior to the Closing becomes, or has been at any time prior to the date of the Agreement, an insured under the Company Group’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and (c) contain terms (including with respect to coverage and amounts) and conditions (including with respect to deductibles and exclusions) that are no less advantageous with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events that occurred before or at the Closing (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company Group if the cost thereof does not exceed 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company Group for the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company Group before the date of this Agreement (the “D&O Cap”). If Acquiror or its Affiliates are unable to obtain the “tail” policy and unable to obtain the insurance described in the prior sentence for an amount less than or equal to the D&O Cap, Acquiror or its Affiliates shall instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the D&O Cap. Acquiror shall cause such “tail” insurance policies to be maintained in full force and effect, for their full term.

6.9 Financing.

(a) Without Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Acquiror shall not agree to any replacement, amendment or modification to the Financing Commitments if such replacement, amendment or modification would (x) reduce the amount of aggregate cash proceeds available from the Financing to less than required to consummate the Closing, (y) impose new or additional conditions precedent that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the Financing materially less likely to occur or (z) materially impact the ability of Acquiror to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitments of the definitive agreements with respect thereto. Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments (including the flex provisions therein, but not in excess or outside of such provisions unless so agreed by Acquiror, and taking into account the anticipated timing of the Marketing Period), including using its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as set forth on Schedule 6.9. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Acquiror shall give Seller prompt written notice: (A) of any breach or default or threatened breach or default by any party to any Financing Commitment, in each case, of which Acquiror becomes aware, if such breach or default would reasonably be expected to result in a material delay of the Closing Date; and (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any breach or default or threatened breach, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing

Commitment. If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable (after giving effect to any other financing sources then available) on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions but not in excess or outside such flex provisions unless so agreed by Acquiror) contemplated in the Financing Commitments in effect on the date of this Agreement so as not to enable Acquiror to proceed with consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a timely manner, Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing being replaced that is still available, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and on terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable to Acquiror, taken as a whole (taking into account any flex provisions, but not in excess or outside of such flex provisions unless so agreed by Acquiror) (as determined by Acquiror in good faith), than those set forth in the Financing Commitments in effect on the date of this Agreement (“Alternative Financing”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Acquiror be deemed or construed to require Acquiror to, and Acquiror shall not be required to, (1) pay any fees materially in excess of those contemplated by the Financing Commitments or (2) agree to any economic provision that is materially outside of, or materially less favorable than, any applicable economic provision of the Financing Commitments or any related fee letter (including any flex provision therein). Acquiror shall, upon written request, keep Seller reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. Any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” and “Financing Commitments” (other than Section 5.5) shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments on the date of this Agreement, as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced (in whole or in part) by this Section 6.9(a), including any Alternative Financing.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company Group shall use reasonable best efforts to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the employees and representatives of the Company Group to, provide to Acquiror, at Acquiror’s sole expense, all reasonable cooperation reasonably requested by Acquiror in connection with the Financing, including:

(i) furnishing Acquiror and its Financing Sources as promptly as reasonably practicable with financial and other similar information regarding the Company Group and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Acquiror or the Financing Sources in connection with the Financing, including financial statements (including the financial statements set forth in clause (ii) below) (which, with respect to annual financial statements, shall have been audited and, with respect to interim financial statements, shall have been reviewed by the independent accountants for the Company Group as provided in Statement on Auditing Standards Section AU 722), pro forma financial statements of the Company Group (provided, that it is understood that the preparation of combined pro forma financial information and the assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments to be made are the responsibility of Acquiror), business and other financial data of the type and form required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and of type and form customarily included in a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act for a public offering of the debt securities contemplated by the Financing Commitments, assuming that such offering was consummated at the same time during the Company Group’s fiscal year as the offering of debt securities contemplated by the Financing Commitments (other than consolidating financial statements; provided, that customary data as to the total assets, revenue,

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA of non-guarantor Subsidiaries shall be provided), all other data that would be necessary for the underwriter to such offering of the debt securities contemplated by the Financing Commitments to receive customary “comfort” (including “negative assurance” comfort) from the Company Group’s independent accountants in connection with such offering of the debt securities contemplated by the Financing Commitments, and reasonable and customary authorization letters to the financing sources authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders and containing customary information;

(ii) furnishing Acquiror and its Financing Sources as promptly as reasonably practicable with the Required Information;

(iii) participating in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers, underwriters, initial purchasers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, the financing and senior management and representatives, with appropriate seniority and expertise, of the Company Group and its Subsidiaries), presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the financing.

(iv) facilitating the pledging of collateral and perfection of security interests (including obtaining customary payoff letters, lien releases and instruments of termination or discharge) as required by the Financing Commitments, including executing and delivering any customary collateral documents and other customary documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by Acquiror and cooperating and assisting Acquiror in obtaining customary legal opinions, appraisals, surveys, title insurance, other certifications and documents as reasonably required by the Financing Sources for financings similar to the Financing, and cooperating with and assisting Acquiror in connection with obtaining such items;

(v) assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agencies and rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, offering documents (including assistance in the preparation of pro forma financial statements giving effect to the transactions hereunder), private placement memorandum and similar documents required in connection with the Financing;

(vi) facilitating the execution and delivery at the Closing of definitive Financing documents by the Company Group and its Subsidiaries and all other customary documents in connection therewith, including pledge and security agreements, mortgages, guarantees, filings and certificates as reasonably required in connection with the Financing (including a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of a member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to solvency matters regarding the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries and consents of independent accountants for the use of their reports in any materials relating to the Financing, provided, that any obligations contained in such documents shall be effective no earlier than as of the Closing);

(vii) if reasonably requested in writing at least ten (10) days prior to Closing, providing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, and as reasonably requested by Acquiror, all documentation and other information with respect to the Company Group, the Company Group’s Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates that the Financing Sources have determined is required by regulatory authorities in connection with applicable “know your customer”, anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and beneficial ownership regulations);

(viii) using reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Acquiror to satisfy the conditions precedent to the Financing to the extent within the control of the Company Group and causing the taking of corporate actions by the Company Group and its Subsidiaries reasonably necessary to permit the completion of the Financing;

provided, that (A) the foregoing shall not require such cooperation to the extent that it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operation of any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, and (B) no member of the Company Group nor any of its Subsidiaries (or any director, officer or employee thereof) shall be required to commit to take any action (including the payment of any commitment or other fee or the incurrence of any liability prior to the Closing to the extent not prepaid by Acquiror) that is not contingent upon the Closing (including the entry into any Contract) or that would be effective prior to the Closing Date or that would create any material risk of personal liability on the part of any director, officer or employee of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company Group hereby consents to the reasonable use of the Company Group’s and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided, that such logos are used in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries.

6.10 Restructuring.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall take (or cause to be taken) each of the actions set forth on Annex D including executing and delivering all related agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents to effect such actions (collectively, the “Restructuring”).

(b) Seller shall consult with Acquiror on a regular basis and cooperate in good faith in connection with the Restructuring, and Seller shall not enter into any Contract, make any filing or take any material action not expressly contemplated by Annex D in connection with the Restructuring without the prior written consent of Acquiror (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller may modify the transactions set forth on Annex D only with the prior written consent of Acquiror (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.11 Post-Closing Access to Information. After the Closing, each of Acquiror and Seller shall afford the other and its counsel, accountants and other representatives, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the books, records and other information in such party’s possession or control relating to the assets, liabilities or operations of the Company Group and its Subsidiaries with respect to periods prior to the Closing, and the right to make copies and extracts

therefrom at its expense, to the extent such access is reasonably required by the requesting party for any proper business purpose. Without limitation, after the Closing, each of Acquiror and Seller shall make available to the other, as reasonably requested, and to any Tax authority that is legally permitted to receive the following pursuant to its subpoena power or its equivalent, all books, records and other information relating to Tax Liabilities or potential Tax Liabilities for all periods prior to or including the Closing Date and shall preserve all such books, records and other information until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations for assessment or refund of Taxes or extensions thereof. Subject to the previous sentence, each of Acquiror and Seller agrees, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, not to destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the books, records or other information described in this Section 6.11 without first offering in writing to surrender such books, records or other information to the other, which other party shall have ten (10) days after such offer to agree in writing to take possession thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Closing, books, records and other information in the possession or control of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed in Acquiror’s possession or control for purposes of this Section 6.11.

6.12 Financial Statements.

(a) Seller shall provide to Acquiror (i) (A) by July 31, 2018, an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for Seller and its Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018, including the comparable period in the prior year, and accompanying notes to such financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP and Regulation S-X, and (B) promptly, and in any event within fifty (50) days after the end of each fiscal quarter ending prior to the Closing Date, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018, an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for Seller and its Subsidiaries as of and for such period, including the comparable period in the prior year, and accompanying notes to such financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP and Regulation S-X (collectively, the “Additional Interim Financial Statements”), (ii) promptly, and in any event within eighty (80) days after the end of each fiscal year of Seller ending prior to the Closing Date, beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the audited, consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows of Seller and its Subsidiaries as of and for such fiscal year, and accompanying notes to such financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP and Regulation S-X (together with the Additional Interim Financial Statements, collectively, the “Additional Financial Statements”), and (iii) within fourteen (14) days after the end of each full fiscal month ending after the date of this Agreement, such monthly financial data and information, if any, to the extent regularly prepared for Seller’s or the Company Group’s internal use in respect of Seller and its Subsidiaries.

(b) Seller shall provide to Acquiror as soon as reasonably practicable upon such statements becoming available, statutory financial statements (together with the related SAP Statements) of Meridian Michigan and Meridian Illinois as filed with Illinois DOI or Michigan DOI, as applicable, after the date hereof, prepared in accordance with SAP and applicable Law.

6.13 Affiliate Obligations. On or prior to the Closing Date, all unsatisfied Liabilities of any kind (including inter-company accounts, notes, guarantees, loans, or advances) between any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a Company Affiliate, on the other hand, shall be settled or otherwise eliminated or terminated, as applicable, and cancelled in full, effective as of the Closing, with no continuing Liability by any party (“Affiliate Obligations”).

6.14 Detroit Lease. Caidan Management shall request a waiver, to be effective immediately before the Closing, from 1000 Webward LLC of Caidan Management’s automatic lease expansion obligation set forth under Section 47 of the Detroit Lease that provides that Caidan Management shall have no obligation to lease the 117,109 square feet of additional space provided in the Detroit Lease and will not be required to enter into any amendment to the Detroit Lease to reflect the foregoing; provided, however, that Caidan Management has no obligation to pay any amount in connection with the foregoing.

(b) by either Acquiror or Seller upon written notice to the other, if:

(i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before January 31, 2019 (the “Outside Date”), unless the failure to consummate the transactions as contemplated by this Agreement by such date is primarily the result of a breach by Acquiror (in the case of termination by Acquiror) or any member of the Company Group or Seller (in the case of termination by Seller); provided, however, that to the extent that on the Outside Date, all of the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived other than (A) those conditions that by their nature can be satisfied only at the Closing and (B) any one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a), 7.1(b), 7.2(f), 7.2(g), 7.3(d) or 7.3(e), (provided in the case of Section 7.1(a), only if the applicable Restraint in whole or in part relates to the HSR Act, any other antitrust or competition Laws, a Required Acquiror Consent or a Required Company Consent), then the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to the date that is ninety (90) days from the Outside Date (or such other date as the parties agree in writing) unless a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has enacted, issued, promulgated or enforced an Order prohibiting or preventing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided further that if the Outside Date occurs either (A) during the Marketing Period or (B) before the commencement of the Marketing Period but after all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b)(i)(B) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature can be satisfied only at the Closing), then the Outside Date shall be extended automatically to the third (3rd) Business Day of the first month commencing after the Condition Satisfaction Date and the Closing shall be deemed effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the first day of the month in which the Closing occurs; or

(ii) a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated or enforced a Restraint which is final and non-appealable, or there shall be in effect any Law, in each case permanently prohibiting or permanently preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that has the effect of rendering it unlawful to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party if such Restraint or other action was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(c) by Acquiror, if any member of the Company Group or Seller breaches their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) and (ii) cannot be or is not cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, that Acquiror is not otherwise in material default or material breach of this Agreement;

(d) by Seller, if Acquiror breaches its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) and (ii) cannot be or is not cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, that no member of the Company Group or Seller is otherwise in material default or material breach of this Agreement; or

(e) by Seller, if (i) the Marketing Period has ended and all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature can be satisfied only at the Closing but which conditions would be capable of being satisfied if the

Closing were at the time of such termination), (ii) Acquiror declines to complete the Closing within five (5) Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2 and (iii) Seller has confirmed in writing to Acquiror that (x) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature can be satisfied only at the Closing but which conditions would be capable of being satisfied if the Closing were at the time of such termination) or will be waived by Seller and (y) was ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing had Acquiror not declined to complete the Closing within five (5) Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2.

8.2 Effect of Termination. If any party terminates this Agreement pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect, except that (a) the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 6.4(b), this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article XI shall survive such termination indefinitely and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any party from Liability for Fraud or any willful and material breach of this Agreement.

8.3 Termination Fees.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) or 8.1(b)(ii) and, at the time of such termination, one or more conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1(a), 7.1(b), 7.2(g) or 7.3(e) (but for the purposes of Section 7.1(a), only if the applicable Restraint in whole or in part relates to the HSR Act, any other antitrust or competition Laws, or a Required Acquiror Consent) shall have not been satisfied but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature only can be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions would be capable of being satisfied if the Closing were at the time of such termination), then Acquiror shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller a fee (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”) in cash equal to Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000).

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 8.1(e), then Acquiror shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller a fee (the “Reverse Termination Fee”, and together with the Regulatory Termination Fee, the “Termination Fees” and each a “Termination Fee”) in cash equal to One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000).

(c) In any circumstance in which this Agreement is terminated and Seller has the right to receive a Termination Fee pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b), such Termination Fee shall be paid within two (2) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement, it being understood that in no event shall Acquiror be required to pay or cause to be paid any Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Upon payment of any Termination Fee, none of (i) Acquiror, (ii) the former, current or future holders of any equity, partnership or limited liability company interest, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates (including Acquiror Parent and its Subsidiaries), members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders, assignees of Acquiror, (iii) the Financing Sources or any of their respective former, current or future equityholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, managers or agents or (iv) any holders or future holders of Equity Equivalents, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders or assignees of any of the foregoing (the Persons described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be collectively referred to as the “Acquiror Group”) shall have

any further Liability with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Financing) to Seller, the Company Group or any other Person (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) (except with respect to any member of the Acquiror Group in the case of fraud by such member), and neither Seller, the Company Group nor any other Person shall have any claim or recourse against any member of the Acquiror Group as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Acquiror contained herein or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Financing or the failure to consummate any of the foregoing) (except with respect to any member of the Acquiror Group in the case of fraud by such member). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Company Group receives any Termination Fee from Acquiror pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b), such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller, the Company Group and their respective Affiliates and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall (A) any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) Seller or any former, current or future, direct or indirect, stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, representative, Affiliate or assignee of Seller, (C) any member of the Cotton Family or their respective Family Group or any former, current or future agent, representative, or Affiliate of any member of the Cotton Family, or (D) any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, representative, Affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing (the Persons described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) shall be collectively referred to as the “Seller Group”) seek, or permit to be sought, on behalf of any member of the Seller Group, or be entitled to any monetary damages from any member of the Acquiror Group in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Financing), other than (without duplication) payment of the Termination Fee from Acquiror to the extent provided in Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b) (except with respect to any member of the Acquiror Group in the case of fraud by such member). Nothing in this Section 8.3(c) shall in any way expand or be deemed to expand the circumstances in which Acquiror or any other member of the Acquiror Group may be liable under this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Financing). The provisions of this Section 8.3(c) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each member of the Acquiror Group.

(d) Acquiror acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Article VIII are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that, without these agreements, Seller and the Company Group would not enter into this Agreement, and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.3 do not constitute a penalty but constitute payment of liquidated damages and that Seller’s and the Company Group’s liquidated damages amount is reasonable in light of the substantial but indeterminate harm anticipated to be caused by Acquiror’s breach or default under this Agreement, the difficulty of proof of loss and damages and the inconvenience and non-feasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. If Acquiror fails to pay the Termination Fee payable under Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b), then Acquiror shall pay to Seller and its Affiliates all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the collection of such overdue amounts and the enforcement by Seller of its rights under this Section 8.3(d), together with interest on such overdue amounts at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” (as announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any successor thereto) in effect on the date on which such payment was required to be made.

The Responsible Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim giving rise to an Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at such Responsible Party’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to be the

lead counsel in connection with such defense within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, that prior to the Responsible Party assuming control of such defense, it shall confirm to the Indemnified Party in writing such Responsible Party’s financial ability to provide full indemnification to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Action (including the ability to post any bond required by the court or adjudicative body before which such Action is taking place) and, subject to the limitations set forth herein, agree in writing to be fully responsible for all Losses relating to such Action; provided, further, that:

(ii) the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to entry of judgment with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Responsible Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) If the Responsible Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, then:

(i) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate (at its sole cost) in the defense of the Third Party Claim and to employ a reputable counsel of its choice for such purpose (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that (A) any fees and expense of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date that the Responsible Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim shall be indemnified Losses hereunder and (B) the Responsible Party shall control such defense, including any settlement or compromise of the Third Party Claim;

(ii) the Responsible Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, including through the retention and (upon the Responsible Party’s request) provision to the Responsible Party of records that are reasonably relevant to the Third Party Claim and the provision of access to employees on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided; and

settlement contains unconditional and irrevocable releases of the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities with respect to the Third Party Claim.

9.7 Final Purchase Price Adjustment. All indemnification payments made under this Article IX shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

9.8 Exclusive Remedies. Except for Losses arising from the commission of Fraud, the remedies provided in this Article IX, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall, from and after the Closing, be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the Acquiror Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (except for any other remedies expressly set forth in Sections 2.4 and 11.12 and the Parent Guaranty, the Guaranty and the Restrictive Covenant Agreement), and no Acquiror Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person shall have any other rights or remedies in connection with any breach or default of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other Loss arising out of the negotiation, entry into or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In addition to the foregoing, except for Losses arising from the commission of Fraud, the amount of indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in this Article IX shall be the maximum amount of indemnification obligations arising in connection with this Agreement, and Acquiror shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement (or any other Transaction Document) or any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Acquiror to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. The Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to only a single recovery (without duplication) for indemnified Losses, even if such matter shall involve breaches of multiple representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

ARTICLE X

10.1 Tax Matters. The following provisions shall apply following the Effective Time:

(a) Allocation of Taxes for a Straddle Period. For any Straddle Period, Taxes shall be attributable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date in an amount equal to: (i) in the case of any Taxes not described in clause (ii) below (such as Taxes based on gross receipts, income, withholding, premiums, payments or similar Taxes), the portion of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date, as determined on the basis of the deemed closing of the books and records of the Company Group at the end of the Closing Date (and for such purposes, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity owned by any Person shall also be deemed ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date) and (ii) in the case of any Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the beginning of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(b) Tax Returns for Straddle Periods and Pre-Closing Periods. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Income Tax Returns of each member of the Company Group and each of its Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are due (including applicable extensions) after the Closing Date (the “Seller Prepared Income Tax Returns”), and all such Income Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice except to the extent such practices are not a position that is “more likely than not” to be sustained under as otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, that Seller shall provide drafts of each such Income Tax Return to Acquiror for Acquiror’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (including any applicable extensions). Seller shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments to such Tax Returns made in writing by Acquiror and shall not file or cause to be filed any such Tax Return without the prior written consent of Acquiror (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller shall pay any Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns (for the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent such Taxes were already taken into account in the Preliminary Adjustment Statements, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4, as an actual reduction to Final Purchase Price. Acquiror shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods of each member of the Company Group and each of its Subsidiaries due after the Closing Date other than Seller Prepared Income Tax Returns; provided, that Acquiror shall provide drafts of each such Tax Return to Seller for Seller’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days (or in the case of non-income Taxes, five (5) days) prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (including any applicable extensions). Acquiror shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments to such Tax Returns made in writing by Seller and shall note file any such Tax Return without the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller shall pay to Acquiror the amount of the Taxes with respect to such Tax Returns for which Seller is responsible under Section 9.1(a)(iv) within three (3) days following any demand by Acquiror for such payment (for the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent such amounts were already taken into account in the Preliminary Adjustment Statements, as finally determined, as actual reductions to Final Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4).

(c) Disputes Over Filing of Tax Returns. If Seller and Acquiror disagree about any aspect of any Tax Return covered by this Section 10.1 and are unable to resolve such disagreement through good faith negotiations, then they shall submit such disagreement to the Accounting Firm (or another mutually acceptable Person), who shall resolve such disagreement as promptly as practicable and the costs of the Accounting Firm (or such other mutually acceptable Person) shall be borne one-half by Acquiror and one-half by Seller.

(d) Tax Sharing Agreements. Seller and each member of the Company Group and each of its Subsidiaries shall terminate as of the Closing Date any Tax sharing agreements or arrangements between Seller and any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, and such Tax sharing agreements or arrangements shall have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year). After the Closing Date, each member of the Company Group and each of its Subsidiaries shall not have any further rights or Liabilities thereunder or under any payables or receivables arising therefrom or thereunder.

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Acquiror and the Company Group, on the one hand, and Seller on the other, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party (and at the requesting party’s expense), in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 10.1 and any audit or other Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon the other party’s request, the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit or other Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Such cooperation shall also include Acquiror causing the Company Group or its Subsidiaries to prepare all such information, schedules and worksheets that are necessary for the preparation of Tax Returns to be prepared by pursuant to this Section 10.1. Acquiror and the Company Group, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company Group and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date for a period of seven (7) years and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority; provided, that Acquiror may dispose of such books and records that are offered in writing to, but not accepted by, Seller.

(ii) Acquiror and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(f) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (excluding any such Taxes incurred in respect of the Restructuring) (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Acquiror when due, and Acquiror shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Restructuring.

(g) Tax Contests. After the Closing, each of Acquiror and Seller shall promptly notify the other in writing of the proposed assessment or the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) or of any demand or claim with respect to Taxes, of which such party has been informed in writing by any Taxing Authority, of Acquiror or the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time, could be grounds for indemnification under this Agreement. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to Seller, Acquiror, or any member of the Company Group) describing the asserted Liability for Taxes in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such asserted Liability for Taxes, provided, that failure to so notify Seller shall not relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. In the case of a Tax Contest that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall have the right, at its expense, to control the conduct of such Tax Contest; provided, that (i) Seller shall diligently prosecute such Tax Contest in good faith, (ii) Seller shall keep Acquiror reasonably informed of the status of developments with

respect to such Tax Contest, (iii) Seller shall not settle, discharge, or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Acquiror(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and (iv) Acquiror shall have the right to fully participate in any such Tax Contest at its sole expense. Acquiror shall control and shall have the right to discharge, settle, or otherwise dispose of all other Tax Contests; provided, that with respect to any Tax Contest to the extent it relates to the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, (i) Acquiror shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the status of developments with respect to such Tax Contest, (ii) Acquiror shall not settle, discharge, or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and (iii) Seller shall have the right to fully participate in any such Tax Contest. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 10.1(g) and Section 9.6, this Section 10.1(g) shall control.

(h) Refunds.

(i) All refunds of Taxes of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) to the extent the underlying Taxes were paid prior to the Adjustment Time, taken into account in the Preliminary Adjustment Statements, as applicable, as finally determined, treated as a reduction to Final Purchase Price or paid (directly or indirectly) by Seller from non-Company Group assets following the Closing (whether in the form of cash received or as a credit applied against any Tax otherwise payable, and whether received in respect of or reelected on an originally filed Tax Return or amended Tax Return, or arising as a result of a Tax Contest) shall be the property of Seller, except to the extent such refund or reduction in any Tax otherwise payable (i) is reflected in the calculation of the amounts reflected in the Preliminary Adjustment Statements, as applicable, as finally determined, or was taken into account in determining the amounts required to be paid by Acquiror under Section 10.1(b), or (ii) is attributable to the carryback of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute generated in a post-Closing Tax Period. To the extent that Acquiror or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing) receives a refund that is the property of Seller as provided hereunder, Acquiror shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller the amount of such refund (and any interest received from the Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), less any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or Taxes incurred in respect thereof. The amount due to the Seller shall be payable by Acquiror within ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Authority (or, if the refund is in the form of a credit applied against a Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax otherwise payable, ten (10) days after the earlier of the due date of the Tax Return , forms, deposit coupons and the like claiming such application of the refund or other such application against a Tax); provided that such amount may be offset by amounts then owing by the Seller Indemnified Persons to Acquiror Indemnified Persons pursuant to IX. Acquiror shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing) to, take all commercially reasonable actions requested by Seller to timely claim any refunds that will give rise to a payment under this Section 10.1(h), provided that Seller pays all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated therewith if the claim is not made by filing an original Tax Return or IRS Form 1139 (or equivalent state Tax form).

(ii) All Transaction Tax Deductions shall be treated as incurred in a Pre-Closing Tax Period and shall be included in any applicable pre-Closing Tax Return to the extent permitted by applicable Law in accordance with a position that is “more likely than not” to be upheld by the relevant Taxing Authority (it being understood that the seventy percent (70%) safe harbor set forth in Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-1 C.B. 746, shall be applied to any “success-based fees” as described therein). All Tax Reductions for a Post-Closing Tax Period that result from or are attributable to the utilization of Transaction Tax Deductions in the Post-Closing Tax Period or to a net operating loss carryforward from a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case calculated on a “with and without” basis, shall be for the sole benefit of Seller. To the extent the Acquiror or the Company Group receives or realizes a Tax Reduction that is for the benefit of the Seller pursuant to this Section 10.1(h), Acquiror shall, within five (5) Business Days receiving such Tax Reduction (if it is in the form of a Tax refund), or filing the Tax Return realizing the Tax Reduction (if it is in the form of a Tax credit, offset or reduction in Taxes paid), pay to Seller the amount of such Tax Reduction.

(i) Tax Treatment. The parties agree to treat the purchase and sale of the Caidan Management and MeridianRx as a purchase and sale of 100% of the undivided interests in the assets of each of Caidan Management and MeridianRx for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes. The parties agree that with respect to any deferred revenue or similar liability of Seller that is assumed by Acquiror in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such assumption shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the same manner as the assumption by Acquiror of any other contingent liability and shall not be treated as a separate and distinct transaction in which Acquiror receives payment in consideration for such assumption.

(j) Post-Closing Actions. Neither Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries to), without the express written consent of Seller (unless otherwise required by applicable Law) (i) make any election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the acquisition of the Company Group and its Subsidiaries, (ii) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or with respect to any Straddle Period) of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) carry back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period any item on the income Tax Return of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries for a tax period ending after the Closing Date, (iv) make, or cause to be made, any Tax election, or adopt or change any method of accounting in each case that would be retroactive to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion thereof for any Straddle Period), or undertake any extraordinary action after the Closing on the Closing Date, that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect Seller’s liability for Taxes hereunder, including (A) reporting any transaction related deduction pursuant to the “next day rule” under Treasury Regulations section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) or (B) electing to ratably allocate items pursuant to an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law). Neither Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries to), without the express written consent of Seller (A) initiate any discussion with any Governmental Authority regarding Taxes of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period outside of the ordinary course of business, (B) enter into any “voluntary disclosure agreement” or similar agreement with any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or (C) file past due Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax

Period for the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries in a jurisdiction where the same has not previously filed Tax Returns.

10.2 Benefits.

(a) Benefit Plans. Subject to Section 10.2(b), Acquiror, in its reasonable discretion, may permit employees of any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries who are employed by any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date, including any such employee on vacation, leave of absence, or disability (the “Continuing Employees”) to be eligible to participate at any time on or after the Closing Date in the benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements of Acquiror or its Affiliates (including any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing) (the “New Plans”). Continuing Employees shall be given credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting and, with respect to vacation, sick leave and paid time off, benefit and severance only accrual rates (but not benefit accrual) under any New Plans that may be offered to such Continuing Employees (other than any equity or equity-based compensation, long-term incentive compensation and retiree insurance or coverage or retiree medical premium credit plans or arrangements) for such employees’ service with a member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent and for the same purpose(s) that such service was taken into account under a corresponding Employee Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date; provided, that no such service shall be credited to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits or coverage or would not be credited to other similarly situated employees of Acquiror or its Affiliates; and provided, further, that no service will be recognized to the extent that it would provide any Continuing Employee with benefits (including, for these purposes, years of service for purposes of eligibility or vesting) under any severance, defined benefit pension, non-qualified deferred compensation, equity compensation or retiree welfare plan of Acquiror.

(b) 401(k) Plan. To the extent requested by Acquiror at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company Group shall (or shall cause the applicable plan sponsor to), (i) adopt written resolutions, which shall be contingent upon, and effective as of immediately prior to, the Closing, to terminate, the Company 401(k) Plan and any other Employee Benefit Plan that is sponsored and maintained by any member of the Company Group and that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code with a cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Code (collectively, the “401(k) Plans”) in compliance with its terms and the requirements of applicable Law, and (ii) make all employer contributions to the 401(k) Plans on behalf of Continuing Employees for all periods of service prior to the Closing Date that would have been made on behalf of such Continuing Employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred (regardless of any service or end-of-year employment requirements) but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date, with such contributions, if any, to be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing. To the extent Acquiror does make the foregoing request, then it shall permit Continuing Employees who were participating or were eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plans immediately prior to the Closing to be eligible to participate in the Comprehensive Health Management, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”) as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing, and all Continuing Employees shall be given credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the Savings Plan for such employees’ service with

a member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent and for the same purpose(s) that such service was taken into account under the 401(k) Plans.

(c) Welfare Plans. For the remainder of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, Acquiror shall (or shall cause the applicable plan sponsor to) continue to maintain and operate all the Company Benefit Plans that are welfare benefit plans in which any Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate in immediately prior to the Closing on a substantially similar basis as immediately prior to such time.

(d) Continuing Employee Arrangements. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, for a period of one (1) year from the consummation of the Closing, Acquiror shall cause the Company Group to provide each Continuing Employee with (i) base salary or a base wage rate, as the case may be, at least as favorable as the base salary or wages, as the case may be, of such employee at the Closing Date, and (ii) employee benefit plans, programs, and arrangements and annual cash bonus opportunities (excluding any equity-based compensation and benefits, defined benefit pension benefits, and retiree medical and life insurance benefits, or long-term deferred compensation benefits) that provide such benefits and annual cash bonus opportunities that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to either (A) those provided to such employee under the Company Benefit Plans in effect for such employee immediately prior to the consummation of the Closing or (B) those provided to similarly situated employees of Acquiror or its Affiliates.

(e) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 10.2 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 10.2, express or implied, is intended to confer or shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or any other Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any current or former directors, officers, employees, contractors or consultants of any member of the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries, or Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries) any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever (including any third-party beneficiary rights) under or by reason of this Section 10.2 or this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.2 shall constitute the establishment of or an amendment or modification to any Employee Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or agreement of any kind, at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any member of the Company Group, Acquiror or any of their respective Affiliates or shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting the ability of any member of the Company Group, Acquiror or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any plans, programs, policies, arrangements, agreements or understandings. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Company Group, Seller and their respective Affiliates shall take no action that would have the effect of requiring, Acquiror to continue any specific benefit or compensation plans, programs, policies, arrangements or agreements or to continue the employment (or any particular term or condition of employment) of any specific Person.

10.3 Caidan Mark. Within one (1) year after the Closing, Acquiror shall cause the Company Group and its Subsidiaries, as necessary, to change their names to names that do not include the name or mark “CAIDAN” (the “CAIDAN Mark”) and Acquiror shall cause the Company Group and such Subsidiaries to make all filings necessary to effectuate such name changes. Acquiror shall cause the Company Group and its Subsidiaries to discontinue their use of the CAIDAN Mark as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing but in no event later than one (1) year after the Closing.

During such one (1) year period following the Closing, the Company Group and its Subsidiaries shall have the right and license to continue using the CAIDAN Mark in connection with their respective businesses consistent with such quality standards and reputation and in a manner substantially similar to the manner in which they used the CAIDAN Mark prior to the Closing.

10.4 Information During the Run-Out Period. Within ten (10) Business Days following each month during the Run-Out Period, Acquiror shall provide to Seller the following information with respect to the business of such member of the Company Group and its Subsidiaries: (i) monthly lag tables; (ii) a monthly report that includes claims received from providers and claims that have been approved or paid; (iii) minutes of each G&A committee meeting; and (iv) a listing of paid claims and the amounts of overturned denials by the G&A committee, subject in each case to the Access Limitations.

11.4 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

11.5 Counterparts.

Acquiror and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, from time to time (including following the Closing) at the reasonable request of another party hereto, without any additional consideration, furnish such requesting party such further information or assurances, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments and conveyances, and take such other actions and do such other things, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

11.11 Press Release and Announcements. The timing and content of the initial public announcement regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the general public shall be mutually agreed upon in advance by Acquiror and Seller.

11.12 Specific Performance.

(a) Each party hereto acknowledges that the parties hereto will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any party of any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Transaction Documents. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, including an injunction or injunctions or Orders for specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Each party hereto further agrees that no other party hereto or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 11.12, and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Subject to and without limiting the rights arising under Section 8.1, each party hereto further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the right of Seller or the Company Group to obtain an injunction or injunctions or Orders for specific performance, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief described in Section 11.12(a) above, no such right may be enforced to cause the Closing to be consummated or the Purchase Price to be paid, unless:

(i) all conditions in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature only can be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions would be capable of being satisfied) or irrevocably waived in writing at the time when the Closing would have otherwise occurred;

(ii) Acquiror is required to complete the Closing pursuant to Section 2.2;

(iii) the Financing has been funded or the lenders party to the Financing Commitment have irrevocably confirmed in a written notice delivered to Acquiror that all conditions to the funding of the Financing have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature only can be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions would be capable of being satisfied);

(iv) Seller has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice delivered to Acquiror that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature only can be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions would be

capable of being satisfied) or will be waived by Seller and if specific performance under this Section 11.12(b) is granted and the Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur; and

(v) Acquiror has not consummated the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.13 Schedules and Annexes. The Company Disclosure Schedules and Annexes referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to articles, sections, paragraphs, schedules and Annexes shall be deemed references to articles, sections, paragraphs, schedules and Annexes of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any fact or item disclosed in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed disclosed in each other Section of the Company Disclosure Schedules to which such fact or item may apply so long as (a) such other Section is referenced by applicable cross reference or (b) the relevance of such disclosure to such other Section is reasonably apparent on its face. The Disclosure Schedule and Annexes to this Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to specific provisions of this Agreement, and are not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as, a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller or any member of the Company Group. The specification of any dollar amounts or the inclusion of any facts or items in the Company Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement, representation or warranty that such dollar amounts, facts or items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to establish matters that are within or outside of the ordinary course of business. At its option, Seller and the Company Group may include in the Company Disclosure Schedules facts or items that are not required to be set forth therein for informational purposes or to avoid any misunderstanding, and Acquiror acknowledges that such additional facts or items may not include other matters of a similar nature or impose any requirement to disclose any information beyond what is specifically required by this Agreement. The information contained in the Company Disclosure Schedules is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained in the Company Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be an admission by any party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of any Law or breach of Contract). References in the Company Disclosure Schedules to any Contract, Benefit Plan, Order, instrument, document or Action are qualified in their entirety by reference to more detailed information in documents attached thereto or previously delivered or made available to Acquiror or any of its representatives.

11.14 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Any and all claims, controversies, and causes of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws or other rule that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

11.15 Consent of Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for the City of Wilmington (and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for the City of Wilmington does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the jurisdiction of the courts of the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”), for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other

Transaction Documents, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such Actions may be heard and determined exclusively in the Chosen Courts. Each of the parties thereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in the event any Action arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any Chosen Court, (c) irrevocably consents to the service of process in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, on behalf of itself and its property, by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 11.8 and (d) agrees that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in any court other than the Chosen Courts. The parties hereto agree that a final trial court judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law; provided, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. This Section 11.15 shall not be construed as a waiver of the parties’ rights to seek enforcement of a decision of the Chosen Courts before any other courts, whether in the United States or abroad. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any Action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing Commitments or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof) and in furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto (i) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at its address provided in Section 11.8 shall be effective service of process against it for any such action brought in any such court, (iii) waives and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

11.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any Action arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including with respect to the Financing) or the other Transaction Documents. Each party hereto acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver in this Section 11.16.

11.17 Conflicts; Certain Communications.

(a) Conflicts and Privilege. Acquiror, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include, following the Closing, the Company Group and its Subsidiaries) agrees that, notwithstanding any current or prior representation of the Company Group and its Subsidiaries by Foley & Lardner LLP and Bodman PLC, Foley & Lardner LLP and Bodman PLC shall be allowed to represent Seller and each of its Affiliates in any matters and disputes adverse to Acquiror, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates that either are existing on the date hereof or arise in the future and relate to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Acquiror, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include, following the Closing, the Company Group and the Subsidiaries) hereby (i) waives any claim that Acquiror, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group and their respective Affiliates have or may have that Foley & Lardner LLP or Bodman PLC has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) agrees that, if a dispute arises after the Closing between Acquiror, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates and Seller or any of its Affiliates, then Foley & Lardner LLP and Bodman PLC may represent Seller or such Affiliate in such dispute even though the interests of Seller or such Affiliate may be directly adverse to Acquiror, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates and even though Foley & Lardner LLP and Bodman PLC may have represented the Company Group or any its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for Acquiror, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates. Acquiror, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Company Group and its Subsidiaries), agrees that, as to all communications between or among Foley & Lardner LLP and Bodman PLC and Seller, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller, shall be controlled by Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed by Acquiror, the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between Acquiror, the Company Group or any of its Subsidiaries and a Third Party (other than Seller or any of its Affiliates) after the Closing, then the Company Group or its Subsidiary, to the extent applicable, may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third party of confidential communications by Foley & Lardner LLP and Bodman PLC; provided, that neither the Company Group nor any of its Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller.

(b) Certain Communications. Acquiror, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Company Group and its Subsidiaries) agrees that all communications involving Seller, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group or any agent or representative of any of the foregoing with, and work product of, Foley & Lardner LLP and Bodman PLC as they relate to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, together with all written or other materials consisting of, containing, summarizing or embodying such communications and work product (collectively, the “Protected Information”) shall be exclusively controlled by Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed by Acquiror, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates following the Closing. After the Closing, none of Acquiror, the Company Group, any Subsidiary of the Company Group or their

respective Affiliates shall disclose to any Person any Protected Information, including in connection with any claims under Article IX.

11.18 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may be enforced only against the named parties hereto. Following the Closing, (a) all claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto and (b) neither any past, present or future Affiliate nor any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or representative of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including any Person negotiating or executing this Agreement on behalf of a party hereto) (the “Non-Recourse Parties”) shall have any liability or obligation with respect to this Agreement or with respect to any claim or cause of action that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 11.18 shall relieve the Non-Recourse Party in the case of Fraud.

11.19 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
