(d) If the Net Adjustment Amount is negative (in which case the Net Adjustment Amount for purposes of this Section 3.5(d) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount), Tenet and the Ulysses LLCs shall deliver written notice to the

Escrow Agent specifying the amount of the Net Adjustment Amount, and the Escrow Agent shall pay to Tenet such amount out of the Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided, that in the event the amount of funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund is less than such Net Adjustment Amount, any such shortfall shall be paid to Tenet through a one-time reduction in the amount of such shortfall from the first payment of either the “Estimated 9.5x Consideration” (as defined in the NewCo Stockholders Agreement) or “Estimated Premium Consideration” (as defined in the NewCo Stockholders Agreement) to be paid with respect to Shares owned by the Ulysses LLCs in accordance with Section 6.5 of the NewCo Stockholders Agreement, in either case, pro rata in accordance with their respective fully diluted percentages set forth on the Payout Spreadsheet.

under any Contract, (ii) obtain all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities and (iii) make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with any Governmental Authority, including filings required under the HSR Act with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (an “Antitrust Authority”). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Tenet and Ulysses Holdings each shall, no later than 5 Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, cause to be filed a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 7.8 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act as soon as practicable (but in any event prior to the Termination Date).

Tenet, on the one hand, and the Ulysses LLCs, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for one-half of any filing and other similar fees payable in connection with the filing of a Notification and Report Form and any other submissions under the HSR Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, Tenet shall not be required by this Section 7.8 or any other provision of this Agreement to take or agree to undertake any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order or other arrangement, that would (i) require the divestiture of any assets of Tenet, Ulysses Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) limit Tenet or NewCo’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to consolidate and control, Ulysses Holdings and its Subsidiaries or any of their assets or businesses or any of Tenet’s or its Affiliates’ other assets or businesses, and Ulysses Holdings shall not agree to take any such action, without the prior written consent of Tenet.

Each party agrees to provide the other party and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between such party and/or any of its Affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Without limitation of any obligations of the parties hereunder, from and after the date of this Agreement (including following the Closing Date), Ulysses Holdings and the Ulysses LLCs shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (and Tenet shall use its

commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Ulysses Holdings and the Ulysses LLCs in obtaining) documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenet, evidencing that the counterparties to the Contracts set forth in Schedule 7.8(c) of the Ulysses Disclosure Schedules have (i) consented to the transactions contemplated hereby and have waived any termination, buyout, put/call or other rights which may be triggered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) acknowledged and agreed that any exclusivity, restrictive covenants, non-competition or similar provisions in such Contracts will not apply to any existing or future businesses of Tenet or any of its Affiliates (other than NewCo); provided, that in no event shall Ulysses Holdings or the Ulysses LLCs be obligated to pay any amounts in seeking to obtain any acknowledgment or agreement contemplated by item (ii) above. All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining any third-party consents shall be Transaction Expenses of Ulysses Holdings.

Section 7.9 Termination of Related Party Agreements. At or prior to the Closing, Ulysses Holdings shall take all action necessary to cause all agreements between Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the holders of capital stock of Ulysses Holdings or Related Parties, on the other hand, to be terminated without any further liability or obligations on the part of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. At or prior to the Closing, Tenet shall take all action necessary to cause all agreements between the Tenet Contributed Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the holders of capital stock of the Tenet Contributed Companies or Related Parties, on the other hand, other than the agreements specified on Schedule 7.9 of the Tenet Disclosure Schedules, to be terminated without any further liability or obligations on the part of the Tenet Contributed Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Immediately following (and in any event within one hour, and prior to any public announcement, of) the execution of this Agreement, Ulysses Holdings shall deliver to Tenet written consents, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, signed by the holders of Ulysses Common Stock who hold the outstanding Ulysses Common Stock sufficient to constitute the Ulysses Stockholder Approval, in accordance with the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Ulysses Holdings (the “Ulysses Stockholder Consent”).

Section 7.11 Public Announcements. The parties shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law or in connection with any financing transaction undertaken in connection with this Agreement.

Prior to Closing, Ulysses Holdings shall (a) deliver to Tenet documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenet, executed by each Person listed in Schedule 7.12(a) of the Ulysses Disclosure Schedules and (b) use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Tenet documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenet, executed by each other Person with an employment agreement, providing in each case that any change in status or reduction of duties or responsibilities directly resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not

constitute “good reason” for purposes of determining such Person’s entitlement to severance benefits or the acceleration of any vesting or other rights under any employment agreement or otherwise. After the Closing, NewCo shall establish for the benefit of certain members of its management, as determined by NewCo’s board of directors, a management equity incentive plan.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time following the Closing it becomes apparent that any entity or asset that should have been transferred in connection with this Agreement, either directly or indirectly pursuant to this Agreement was not so transferred, or any entity or asset unrelated to the business of NewCo was inadvertently transferred to NewCo, the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, as applicable, in each case as promptly as practicable: (A) transfer all rights, title and interest in such entity asset to the party to whom such entity or asset was intended to be transferred hereunder, in each case for no additional consideration; and (B) hold its right, title and interest in and to such entity or asset in trust for the applicable party until such time as such transfer is completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (A) none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the consummation thereof, nor the occurrence of the Closing shall be subject in any respect to the consummation of the Financing, (B) no cooperation with the Financing shall unreasonably interfere, as determined by Ulysses Holdings in good faith, with the ongoing business or operations of the Ulysses Holdings and its Subsidiaries and none of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action that unreasonably interferes with its ongoing business or operations; and (C) none of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action, commit to take any action or enter into any agreement, document or instrument, in each case, that (1) would encumber or require the delivery or pledge of any assets of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, (2) would result in a violation of Law or breach of any Contract or subject any of Ulysses Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives to any actual or potential liability or loss of any privilege, or (3) would result in any liability or any obligation under any definitive financing agreement or any related document, instrument or certificate or any other liability, potential liability or obligation in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing.

(c) Ulysses Holdings will use its reasonable best efforts to update Required Information as may be necessary such that the Required Information does not, to the knowledge of Ulysses Holdings, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state

any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time).

Ulysses Holdings hereby waives any provision of any Law applicable hereto which restricts or in any way limits the rights of any obligee against a guarantor or surety following a default or failure of performance by an obligor with respect to whose obligations the guarantee or surety is provided.

Section 7.17 Release.

Except as provided in Article IX, Section 10.10 and Section 10.15 nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the provision of Section 10.10 and Section 10.15 shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Financing Source and its successors and assigns.

Section 10.9 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware (including in respect of the statute of limitations or other limitations period applicable to any such dispute or controversy), without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of Delaware.

Section 10.10 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party or its Affiliates against any other party or its Affiliates shall be brought and determined in the Court of

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees (a) that any claim, cross-claim, suit, action or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving any of the Financing Sources arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Financing or the performance of services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of a state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York and the appellate courts thereof, (b) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such claim, suit, action or proceeding in any other courts, other than a state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York, (c) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which any of them 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 (d) that any such claim, controversy or dispute shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Section 10.11 Assignment; Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, that no assignment shall limit the assignor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.12 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the parties shall be

entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then in any federal court located in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
