-27-

Principles and the definitions contained in this Agreement and based solely on the written submissions of the parties and not an independent review, of the appropriate amount of each of the matters that remain in dispute solely to the extent indicated in the Notice of Disagreement that Seller and Purchaser have submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm’s final determination in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties, absent showing of fraud or manifest error in such final determination. With respect to each disputed matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, or less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Seller in the Notice of Disagreement or by Purchaser in the Initial Closing Statement with respect to such disputed matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accounting Firm shall not review or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the matters that remain in dispute to the extent indicated in the Notice of Disagreement and shall not consider any events or developments that occurred after the Closing. The Initial Closing Statement as finally determined either through agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b) or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.6(c), shall be the “Final Closing Statement.”

(d) All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne on a proportionate basis by Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such Person bears to the amount actually contested. The allocation of such fees and expenses shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with the foregoing sentence, which shall be binding and conclusive on the parties. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, each of Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries (including, in the case of Purchaser, the Transferred Entities) and its and their respective employees, accountants and other Representatives to, each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such personnel, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.6(c) and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall engage in any ex parte communication with the Independent Accounting Firm on matters relating to the Initial Closing Statement or Notice of Disagreement. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator, it being understood that in acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

(e) Absent fraud, the process set forth in Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser and Seller and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amount, the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expense Amount, the Post-Closing Adjustment, the calculations and amounts on which they are based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection therewith, and the application of the Accounting Principles in determining any such amounts, whether or not the underlying facts and circumstances constitute a breach of any representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement. All calculations made under this Section 2.6 shall be made in accordance with the Accounting Principles.

-28-

Section 2.7 Post-Closing Adjustment. The “Post-Closing Adjustment” may be either a positive or negative amount, and shall be equal to (a) the Purchase Price calculated based on the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Cash Amount and the Closing Transaction Expense Amount, each as set forth in the Final Closing Statement, minus (b) the Closing Purchase Price. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, then Purchaser shall pay in cash to Seller (or to an Affiliate designated by Seller) the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative amount, then Seller (or an Affiliate designated by Seller) shall pay in cash to Purchaser the absolute value of the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. The Closing Purchase Price, as adjusted by the Post-Closing Adjustment, shall be the “Final Purchase Price.” Any such payment pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Statement to an account designated in writing by the party entitled to such payment within three (3) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Statement. The parties hereto intend that any such payment pursuant to this Section 2.7 be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local Income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price of the Company Interests and shall not take an inconsistent position for applicable Tax purposes (including filing Tax Returns) unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or comparable provisions of provisions of state and local tax laws; provided with respect to a state or local determination that any such determination by an applicable Tax Authority shall only affect the parties’ obligations in the applicable jurisdiction).

Section 2.8 Withholding Rights. Seller, the Transferred Entities, Purchaser and any other applicable withholding agent hereunder shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Law related to Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made. Except (a) with respect to compensatory amounts paid to an employee, independent contractor, or similar, and any amounts required to be deducted as a result of Seller’s failure to deliver the IRS Form W-9 in the manner contemplated by Section 2.3(b)(i)(D), or (b) with respect to any amounts required to be paid to Purchaser, each payor party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party and the payee against whom such withholding is proposed with advance written notice of any amounts that such person intends to withhold or cause to be withheld under this Section 2.8, the basis therefor, and the calculation thereof, and each party shall cooperate in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party or such payee, to minimize or eliminate any potential deductions or withholdings to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any compensatory amounts payable to an employee, independent contractor, or similar of Seller pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement shall be payable through the relevant Transferred Entity’s regular payroll procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that under current Tax law as the date hereof no withholding of Tax is permitted or required under this Agreement in respect of any payments to Seller so long as Seller delivers a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or in respect of any payment to Purchaser so long as Purchaser delivers a duly executed IRS Form W-9.

Section 3.6 Rollover Seller Representations.

(a) Seller is acquiring the Rollover Units for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view toward, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributions or selling the Rollover Units, in violation of the federal securities Laws or any applicable foreign or state securities Law.

(b) Seller qualifies as an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. No events described in Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of Regulation D of the Securities Act have occurred with respect to Seller.

(c) Seller understands that the acquisition of the Rollover Units to be acquired by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement involves substantial risk. Seller and its officers have experience as an investor in securities and equity interests of companies such as the ones being transferred pursuant to this Agreement. Seller is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Rollover Units and Seller’s financial situation is such that it can afford to suffer a complete loss of Seller’s investment in the Rollover Units.

(d) Seller understands that the Rollover Units to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act. Seller acknowledges that such securities may not be transferred, sold, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act and any other provision of applicable state securities Laws or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom, and, in any case, in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement. Seller acknowledges that there is no public market for the Rollover Units and that there can be no assurance that a public market will develop.

(e) Seller acknowledges that it has been provided with such information as it deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of investing in the Rollover Units (including financial and other information regarding Purchaser Parent and its Subsidiaries) and has been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions as it deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of Purchaser Parent concerning the merits and risks of investing in the Rollover Units, and in making the decision to invest in Purchaser Parent, Seller has relied solely upon independent investigations made by Seller and the representations and warranties contained herein. Seller is not relying, and has not relied, on any other information, representations or warranties concerning Purchaser Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their businesses, operations or otherwise) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Rollover) other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article V of this Agreement. No representations or warranties, oral or otherwise, have been made to Seller or any party acting on Seller’s behalf that are inconsistent with the written materials which have been supplied to Seller by Purchaser Parent. Seller has consulted, to the extent deemed appropriate by Seller, with Seller’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning an investment in the issued Rollover Units and on that basis understands the financial, tax, legal and related consequences of an investment in the issued Rollover Units. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller is not relying on Purchaser Parent or any of its Affiliates for tax advice with respect to the tax consequences of, and related tax considerations involved in, an investment in the Rollover Units. Neither Purchaser Parent nor its Affiliates is guaranteeing or will have any liability to Seller in respect of the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting Purchaser Parent’s obligations under its Organizational Documents or as set forth herein, Purchaser Parent shall not have any liability or obligation (including, without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by Seller or any other Person), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to Seller, or to any Person claiming through Seller, in respect of the Rollover and the Rollover Company Securities.

Seller acknowledges and agrees that none of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, or any other Person on behalf of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, has made or makes, and Seller has not relied, and will not rely, upon, any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, with respect to any projections, forecasts, estimates or budgets made available to Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives of future revenues, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of any of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries.

Section 3.8 No Additional Representation or Warranties. Except for the Express Representations made by Seller, none of Seller, its Affiliates or any of its or their Representatives makes or has made any other representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of Seller, the Transferred Entities or their respective Affiliates, or the Business.

-33-

Seller has made available to Purchaser a true, correct and complete copy of each Organizational Document of the Transferred Entities as currently in effect.

Section 4.2 Capitalization of the Transferred Entities.

(a) The Company Interests are duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of the Company, and are not subject to restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions under applicable federal, state, provincial and other securities Laws).

The Interim Financial Statements were extracted from the underlying books and records of Seller, as of June 30, 2025, using the same principles, methodology, and practices used to extract the underlying data that were used to prepare the Business Financial Statements.

Section 4.4 Undisclosed Liabilities.

Section 5.6 Financing.

(a) Purchaser has delivered to Seller a true, complete and correct copy of (i) the fully executed Equity Commitment Letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement, by and between the Purchaser Sponsor and Purchaser, pursuant to which the Purchaser Sponsor has agreed, subject only to the terms and conditions thereof, to invest in Purchaser up to the amount set forth therein (the financing contemplated thereby, the “Equity Financing”), (ii) a fully executed debt commitment letter from the agents, arrangers, lenders and other entities acting in similar roles identified therein (together with any Persons that have committed to provide or arrange or otherwise have entered into agreements pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter or in connection with all or any part of the Debt Financing described therein (or any replacement debt financings), including the parties to any commitment letters, joinder agreements, credit agreements or indentures (or similar definitive documents), the “Debt Financing Sources”), dated as of the date hereof, addressed to Purchaser (as may be amended, restated, supplemented, modified, replaced or substituted in a manner not in violation of this Agreement and all exhibits, schedules or amendments thereto, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and the financing contemplated thereby, the “Debt Financing” and together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Letters”) and (iii) the related fee letter(s) referred to in the Debt Commitment Letter and all exhibits, schedules or amendments thereto, with amounts, economic, financial, dollar and ratio terms (including

-61-

related dates and “flex” terms) redacted (the “Fee Letter”), pursuant to which the Debt Financing Sources have committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to provide the commitments and lend Purchaser the amounts set forth therein for, among other things, the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject only to the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Letters, the Fee Letter and in this Agreement, the aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Financing Letters are sufficient to fund the Closing Purchase Price and any other amounts payable hereunder by Purchaser or Transferred Entities on the Closing Date, to the extent required in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter and any other amounts payable by Purchaser or the Transferred Entities on the Closing Date hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the payment of all of Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ costs and expenses incurred in the evaluation, negotiation and execution of the Sale and the other transactions contemplated hereby) (such amount, the “Required Amount”). The Equity Commitment Letter provides that Seller is an express third-party beneficiary of the Equity Commitment Letter for the purpose of obtaining specific performance of Purchaser’s right to cause the Aggregate Commitment Amount (as defined therein) to be funded thereunder.

(b) As of the date hereof, the Financing Letters are each in full force and effect and constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Purchaser and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. There are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount set forth in the Financing Letters (the “Financing”) or the availability of the full amount of the commitments set forth in the Financing Letters other than the conditions precedent expressly set forth in the Financing Letters as of the date hereof. Except as expressly permitted under Section 6.17, the Financing Letters have not been amended or modified in any manner, and the respective commitments contained therein have not been terminated, reduced, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect, and no such termination, reduction, withdrawal or rescission is contemplated by Purchaser or any other party thereto. As of the date hereof, Purchaser is not in material default of or material breach under the terms and conditions of any of the Financing Letters and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a material default or material breach or a failure to satisfy a condition under the terms and conditions of the Financing Letters.

(c) As of the date hereof, Purchaser has no reason to believe that (i) any of the conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing set forth in the Financing Letters (and the payment of all associated costs and expenses) will not be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) the Financing in the Required Amount contemplated by the Financing Letters will not be available to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Section 12.11, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Purchaser’s, its Affiliates’, or any other Person’s (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) ability to obtain the Financing.

(d) There are no side letters, understandings or other agreements or arrangements of any kind relating to the Financing Letters or the Financing that would adversely affect (i) the ability of Purchaser to satisfy any of the conditions to the Financing within its control, or (ii) the availability or aggregate amount of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters.

-62-

(e) Subject to Section 12.11, in no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters) by or to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other financing transaction be a condition to any of the obligations of Purchaser hereunder.

Section 5.7 Solvency. Assuming (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Seller and the Transferred Entities herein, (ii) the performance by Seller and the Transferred Entities of their obligations, and compliance with the covenants and agreements, under this Agreement and (iii) the Transferred Entities are Solvent immediately prior to the Closing, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Sale, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be Solvent and will have adequate capital to carry on their respective businesses. For purposes of this Section 5.7, (a) “Solvent” shall mean, with respect to the Solvent Entities (as defined below), taken as a whole, that: (i) the fair saleable value (determined on a going concern basis) of the assets of the Solvent Entities, taken as a whole, shall be greater than the total amount of the Liabilities (including all Liabilities, whether or not reflected in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, and whether direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, secured or unsecured, disputed or undisputed) of the Solvent Entities, taken as a whole, (ii) the Solvent Entities, taken as a whole, shall be able to pay their debts and obligations in the ordinary course of business as they become due, and (iii) the Solvent Entities, taken as a whole, shall have adequate capital to carry on their businesses and all businesses in which they are engaging or are about to engage, and (b) “Solvent Entities” shall mean (i) with respect to the Transferred Entities for purposes of clause (a)(iii) above, the Transferred Entities immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) after giving effect to the consummation of the Sale, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.8 Sponsor Guaranty. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser Sponsor has delivered to Seller a true, complete and correct copy of the executed Sponsor Guaranty. The Sponsor Guaranty is in full force and effect and constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Purchaser Sponsor in favor of Seller, enforceable by Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. The Purchaser Sponsor is not in default of or breach under any of the terms or conditions of the Sponsor Guaranty, and no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default of or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition under the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Guaranty. The Purchaser Sponsor has access to sufficient capital to satisfy the full amount of the guaranteed obligations under the Sponsor Guaranty in full.

Section 5.9 Investment Decision. Purchaser is acquiring the Company Interests for investment and not with a view toward or for the sale in connection with any distribution thereof, or with any present intention of distributing or selling such Company Interests. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other federal, state, foreign or local securities Law, and agrees that such Company Interests may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, distributed, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from such registration available under the Securities Act, and in compliance with any other federal, state, foreign or local securities Law, in each case, to the extent applicable.

Section 5.10 Independent Investigation. Purchaser has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, technology, management and prospects of the Transferred Entities and the Business, which investigation, review and analysis were done by Purchaser and its

-63-

Representatives. In entering into this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that it has relied solely upon the Express Representations made by Seller and the aforementioned investigation, review and analysis and not on any factual representations or opinions of Seller, the Transferred Entities, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives (except the Express Representations made by Seller).

Purchaser further acknowledges that no Representative of Seller, the Transferred Entities or their respective Affiliates has any authority, express or implied, to make any representations, warranties or agreements other than the Express Representations made by Seller and subject to the limited remedies herein provided. Purchaser acknowledges that, should the Closing occur, Purchaser shall acquire the Transferred Entities and the Business without any representation or warranty as to merchantability or fitness thereof for any particular purpose, in an “as is” condition and on a “where is” basis, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Express Representations made by Seller.

Section 5.11 Rollover Units. Upon issuance, the Rollover Units will be duly authorized and validly issued to Seller and Seller will acquire good and valid title to the Rollover Units, free and clear of any Lien except as may exist by reason of the Limited Partnership Agreement, applicable securities Laws or any Liens created by Seller.

Section 5.12 No Other Representations or Warranties; No Reliance. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has relied exclusively on the Express Representations made by Seller and that, except for the Express Representations made by Seller, none of Seller or any Affiliate thereof, or any other Person or entity on behalf of Seller or any Affiliate thereof, has made or makes, and Purchaser has not relied, and will not rely, upon, any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, with respect to the Business, Seller, the Transferred Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates, businesses, affairs, assets, Liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, future operating or financial results, estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects) or with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any other information (or any omissions therefrom) provided or made available to Purchaser or its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives by or on behalf of Seller or any Affiliate or Representative thereof.

Section 5.13 No Additional Representation or Warranties. Except for the Express Representations made by Purchaser, none of Purchaser, its Affiliates or any of its or their Representatives makes or has made any other representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(a) After the date of this Agreement until the Closing, and subject to the requirements of applicable Laws, Seller shall and shall cause the Transferred Entities to afford to Representatives of Purchaser reasonable access to the personnel, facilities, properties, books and records, data and information, of the Business (including Transferred Entity Employee personnel files), under the supervision of the personnel of Seller or its Subsidiaries, during normal business hours and in accordance with the reasonable procedures established by Seller, in each case, as is reasonably requested in writing by Purchaser or its Representatives for purposes of reasonable separation, transition and integration planning following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Seller shall furnish reasonably promptly to Purchaser such information concerning the Business as Purchaser may reasonably request so long as such request is related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the operation of the Business following the Closing (other than any publicly available document filed by it pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws); provided, that Seller and the Transferred Entities shall not be required to make available medical records, workers compensation records, the results of any drug testing or other sensitive or personal information if doing so could result in a violation of applicable Law. Seller shall cause the Representatives of the Transferred Entities to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its Representatives in connection with such access, examination and planning. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.1(a), Sellers and the Transferred Entities may withhold any document (or portions thereof) or information (i) that is of a competitively sensitive nature, (ii) may violate any Contracts of confidentiality or contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement to which Seller or any Transferred Entity is a party or by which Seller or any Transferred Entity is bound to or (iii) that may jeopardize any attorney client or other legal privilege; provided, that (A) in the case of clause (i) Seller shall, and shall cause Transferred Entities to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such competitively sensitive information through a permissible method (such as a “clean room” arrangement) and (B) in the case of clauses (ii) through (iii), Seller shall, and shall cause Transferred Entities to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such disclosure without violating such Contracts or Laws and without resulting in a loss of such attorney-client privileges or attorney work product protection. All information and documents provided pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) will be subject

-65-

to the Confidentiality Agreement, and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has and will continue to abide by, and will cause its Representatives thereunder to continue to abide by, the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Purchaser or its Representatives be permitted to conduct any invasive, intrusive or subsurface sampling or assessment of any environmental media at the properties of the Transferred Entities (including the Business Owned Real Property and the Business Leased Real Property) without the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) Purchaser agrees that any access granted under Section 6.1(a) shall not interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Business or any other business of Seller or its Affiliates. Purchaser and its Representatives shall not communicate with any of the employees, customers, suppliers, financing sources, lenders and other business relations of Seller or its Affiliates (other than in the ordinary course of business and unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements) without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the date of this Agreement until the Closing, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, Seller shall allow, and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to organize meetings and/or calls between Seller, Purchaser and any customer or supplier of the Business (each an “Engagement Relationship”) to discuss Purchaser’s post-Closing plans for the Business, provided that Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree, in advance of any such meeting or call, on the agenda and messaging for any such meetings or calls. Seller shall, and shall cause the Transferred Entities to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Business Employee who holds the main relationship with such Engagement Relationship and the applicable Senior Vice President to participate in such meetings or calls. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) shall limit any rights or obligations in Section 6.21 or Section 6.23.

(c) After the Closing, until the date that is seven (7) years following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Transferred Entities to, afford Seller and its Representatives, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, access to the books, records, properties and employees of each Transferred Entity and the Business to the extent that such access may be reasonably requested for reasonable business purposes, including in connection with financial statements, any potential Action or investigation by or before a Governmental Entity and SEC or other Governmental Entity reporting obligations; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights of discovery of Seller or its Affiliates; provided, further, that neither Purchaser nor any of the Transferred Entities will be required to disclose any information to Seller or its Representatives if such disclosure relates to an Action or dispute between or among any of the parties hereto, or would be reasonably likely, upon the advice of counsel, to (1) jeopardize any attorney client or other legal privilege, (2) violate any Contracts of confidentiality to which such Person is subject, or (3) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement to which such Person is a party or by which such party is bound, provided, that in the case of clauses (1) through (3), Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Transferred Entities to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such disclosure without violating such Contracts or Laws and without resulting in a loss of such legal privileges or protections.

Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of destroying any such books and records prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date in order to provide Seller the opportunity to copy such books and records in accordance with this Section 6.1(d).

(e) This Section 6.1 shall not apply to Taxes, Tax Returns or Tax matters, which are the subject of Section 8.3

The parties hereto expressly agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, including with respect to termination thereof, if, for any reason, the Sale is not consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b) For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, hold in confidence and not disclose to any third party any and all information and data to the extent relating to the Transferred Entities or the Business (“Business Information”); provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to information (i) that becomes available on a non-confidential basis to Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates from and after the Closing from a third-party source that is not known by Seller or its applicable Affiliates to be under any obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information, (ii) that is in the public domain or enters into the public domain other than as a result of breach by Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates of this Section 6.2(b), (iii) to the extent used by Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or any other Contract between Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, (iv) that is, following the Closing, independently developed or derived by Seller or any of its Affiliates without use of or reference to any Business Information or (v) that Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates is required by Law or required or requested pursuant to legal or regulatory process to disclose. In the event that Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates is required by Law or required or requested pursuant to legal or regulatory process to disclose such information, Seller shall reasonably promptly notify Purchaser in writing unless not permitted by Law, which notification shall include the nature of such requirement or request and the extent of the required or requested disclosure, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, to obtain assurance that any such information will be afforded confidential treatment.

(c) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to, hold in confidence and not disclose to any third party any information or data to the extent relating to the Retained Businesses; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to information (i) that becomes available on a non-confidential basis to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from and after the Closing from a third-party source that is not known by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates to be under any obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information, (ii) that is in the public

-67-

domain or enters into the public domain other than as a result of breach by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of this Section 6.2(c), (iii) to the extent used by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or any other Contract between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates, on the other hand, (iv) that is, following the Closing, independently developed or derived by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without use of or reference to any Business Information or (v) that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is required by Law or required or requested pursuant to legal or regulatory process to disclose; provided further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be permitted to disclose Business Information subject to the Confidentiality Agreement to the Debt Financing Sources, other potential sources of capital, rating agencies, appraisers, field examiners, prospective lenders or investors in connection with the arrangement or syndication of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing, subject to the Debt Financing Sources, other potential sources of capital, rating agencies, appraisers, field examiners, prospective lenders or investors entering into customary confidentiality undertakings with respect to such information.

Section 6.3 Required Actions.

(a) Purchaser and Seller shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Laws to consummate and make effective in an expeditious manner the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) taking all actions reasonably necessary to obtain (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, clearance, expiration or termination of a waiting period, authorization, Order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity (“Regulatory Approvals”) (which actions shall include furnishing all information required under any Regulatory Laws) required to be obtained or made by Purchaser or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that otherwise become applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Additionally, each of Seller and Purchaser shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Laws to fulfill all conditions precedent to this Agreement as promptly as practicable and shall not (and each of the Seller and Purchaser shall cause Purchaser Sponsor, its controlled Affiliates and Representatives not to) take any action after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) materially prevent, delay or impede the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any Regulatory Approvals required to be obtained or made by Purchaser or Seller, or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (B) otherwise cause any of the conditions set forth in Article IX of this Agreement to fail to be satisfied or prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the Sale or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Prior to the Closing, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, Purchaser and Seller shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required Regulatory Approvals. In that regard, prior to the Closing, subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 6.2, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, each of Seller and Purchaser shall promptly consult with the other party to provide any necessary information with respect to all filings made by such party with any

-68-

Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such party to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement, the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 6.2, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, each party to this Agreement shall promptly inform the other party to this Agreement, and if in writing, furnish the other party with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other party of) any communication from any Governmental Entity or other such Person regarding the Sale or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and permit the other party to review and discuss reasonably in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written or oral communication, correspondence or submission with or to any such Governmental Entity or other such Person. If any party to this Agreement or any Representative of such party receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Sale or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party will make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other party to this Agreement, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Purchaser or its Representatives, on one hand, and Seller or its Representatives, on the other hand, shall not participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement or the Sale, or with any other Person in connection with any Action by a private party relating to any Regulatory Laws in connection with this Agreement or the Sale, or make oral submissions at meetings or in telephone or other conversations, unless it consults with the other party reasonably in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Purchaser and Seller may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other party under this Agreement as “outside counsel only.” Such designated materials and any materials provided by Purchaser to Seller or by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.3, and the information contained therein, shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and shall not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees (other than in-house counsel), officers or directors of the recipient, unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be) or its legal counsel; it being understood that materials provided pursuant to this Agreement may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual obligations and (iii) as necessary to protect privileged attorney-client communications or attorney work product.

(c) Purchaser and Seller shall file or cause to be filed, as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than twenty-five (25) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, notifications under the HSR Act, and Purchaser and Seller shall file or cause to be filed, as promptly as practicable, any other filings and/or notifications under applicable Regulatory Laws.

(d) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Regulatory Laws. In connection therewith, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Sale or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Regulatory Laws, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to initiate and/or participate in any Actions, whether judicial or administrative, to (i) oppose or defend against any Action by any Governmental Entity to prevent or enjoin the consummation of the Sale or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or (ii) take such action as necessary to overturn any regulatory Action by any Governmental

-69-

Entity to block the consummation of the Sale or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by defending any such Action brought by any Governmental Entity to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, overturned or terminated, including by appeal if necessary, any Order that makes illegal, or prohibits the consummation of, the Sale or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement resulting from any such Action.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates, to use reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Regulatory Laws so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date), including (i) proposing, negotiating, agreeing to, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate Order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any businesses, product lines or assets of the Transferred Entities, and Purchaser, and (ii) otherwise taking or committing to take actions, or agreeing to restrictions, that after the Closing would limit the Transferred Entities’, or Purchaser’s freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, any businesses, product lines or assets of the Transferred Entities or Purchaser (such actions contemplated in clauses (i) and (ii), “Remedial Actions”); provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed (y) to require Purchaser or its Affiliates (or permit Seller, the Transferred Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates) to offer, propose, take, negotiate, commit to, effect or agree to take any Remedial Action if such action, individually or in the aggregate with all other such actions taken together, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of the operations of the Transferred Entities, taken as a whole (it being understood, for purposes of determining whether such Remedial Action would reasonably be expected to have such a material adverse effect, any proceeds received, or expected to be received, from effecting any Remedial Action shall not be taken into consideration) or (z) to require Purchaser to commit to take or agree to take any such Remedial Actions which would bind Purchaser or its Affiliates in respect of any matter if the Closing does not occur. No actions taken pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) shall be considered for purposes of determining whether a Business Material Adverse Effect has occurred or may occur.

(f) Whether or not the Sale is consummated, Purchaser shall be responsible for all filing fees, including filing fees under the HSR Act, due to any Governmental Entity to obtain any consent, clearance, expiration or termination of a waiting period, authorization, Order or approval pursuant to this Section 6.3.

With respect to Liabilities pursuant to, under or relating to any Moving Contract or Shared Contract, from and after the Closing, such Liabilities shall be allocated between (A) Seller, on the one hand, to the extent arising out of or relating to the Retained Businesses, and (B) Purchaser and the Transferred Entities, on the other hand, to the extent arising out of or relating to the Transferred Entities or the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities arising from its (or its Affiliates’) direct or indirect breach of any Moving Contract or Shared Contract.

-76-

any continuing obligations or Liability to Purchaser or any Transferred Entity.

Section 6.9 Guarantees; Commitments.

(a) From and after the Closing, solely to the extent the substitution described in Section 6.9(b) is not completed with respect to any such Guarantee (as described below) prior to the Closing, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any of its Affiliates against any Liabilities that Seller or any of its Affiliates suffer, incur or are liable for by reason of or arising out of or in connection with (i) Seller or any of its Affiliates issuing or maintaining, making payment under, being required to pay or reimburse the issuer of, or being a party to, any guarantee, surety bond, letter of credit or other similar obligation solely relating to the Business or any Transferred Entities, in each case whether arising from Contract, Permit, operation of Law or otherwise (collectively, the “Guarantees”), (ii) any claim or demand for payment made to Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any of the Guarantees or (iii) any Action by any Person who is or claims to be entitled to the benefit of or claims to be entitled to payment, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any Guarantee, and shall reimburse Seller for any Losses incurred in connection with any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be required under this Section 6.9(a) with respect to any Liability resulting from the Seller’s or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives’ willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

(b) Without limiting Section 6.9(a) in any respect, subject to Section 6.9(c), Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at its sole expense, to cause itself or its Affiliates to be substituted, on terms and conditions substantially the same as such Guarantee in its current form, for Seller and any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities), and for Seller and its Affiliates to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of, or otherwise terminate (and cause Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) to be released in respect of), all obligations of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) under each Guarantee set forth on Section 4.7(a)(xiii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (including, in each case, by delivering at Closing (i) executed agreements to assume reimbursement obligations for such Guarantees, (ii) executed instruments of guaranty, letters of credit or other instruments requested by any banks, landlords, customers or other counterparties with respect to any Guarantees, and (iii) any other documents reasonably requested by Seller in connection this Section 6.9). With respect to any Guarantees identified by Seller that are not set forth on Section 4.7(a)(xiii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate or enter into replacement arrangements (on terms and conditions substantially the same

-77-

as such Guarantees in their current form) for, such Guarantees reasonably promptly following notice of the existence thereof from Seller to Purchaser. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, at the request of Seller or any of its Affiliates, Purchaser shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to assign or cause to be assigned any Contract or Permit underlying such Guarantee to a Subsidiary of Purchaser meeting the applicable net worth and other requirements in such Contract or Permit to give effect to the provisions of the preceding sentence. For any Guarantees for which Purchaser or any Transferred Entity is not substituted in all respects for Seller and its Affiliates (or for which Seller or any of its Affiliates is not released) effective as of the Closing and that cannot otherwise be terminated effective as of the Closing (with Seller and its Affiliates to be released in respect thereof), Purchaser shall continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect such substitution or termination and release as soon as practicable after the Closing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.9, and without limiting Section 6.9(a) in any respect, the parties acknowledge and agree that, with respect to the Guarantees set forth on Section 6.9(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, (i) Seller and its applicable Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect such Guarantees until July 31, 2027, after which time Seller and its Affiliates may terminate any and all such Guarantees and (ii) Purchaser shall not be obligated to cause itself or its Affiliates to be substituted for Seller or its applicable Affiliates with respect to such Guarantees prior to such date.

Section 6.10 Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities shall cease to be insured by the Seller Group’s current and historical insurance policies or programs or by any of its current and historical self-insured programs, and, except to the extent expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.10(b), none of the Transferred Entities, Purchaser or its other Affiliates shall have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such insurance policies, programs or self-insured programs (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover any assets of the Transferred Entities or any Liability of the Transferred Entities or of or arising from the operation of the Business or any Transferred Entity. The Seller Group may amend, effective at the Closing, any insurance policies and ancillary arrangements in the manner Seller deems appropriate to give effect to this Section 6.10. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for its operation of the Transferred Entities and the Business. Except to the extent expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.10(b), Purchaser further covenants and agrees not to (directly or through the Transferred Entities) seek to assert any claims under or in respect of any past or current insurance policy of the Seller Group under which any Transferred Entity or the Business is a named insured.

(b) Seller shall not, and shall cause the other members of the Seller Group to not, retroactively cancel, modify or amend, in any manner materially adverse to the Transferred Entities, the Seller Group’s occurrence-based insurance policies with respect to claims arising out of any actual or alleged act, omission, circumstance, matter, event or occurrence existing or occurring prior to the Closing relating to the Transferred Entities or the Business (such policies, the “Occurrence-Based Policies,” and such claims (regardless of when reported or asserted), “Pre-Closing Claims”). With respect to any Occurrence-Based Policy affording coverage to the Transferred Entities for any Pre-Closing Claim, Seller shall, and shall cause the other members of the Seller Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Transferred Entities any applicable coverage under such Occurrence-Based Policy, including (A) noticing or reporting such Pre-Closing Claim, (B) reasonably assisting and cooperating with Purchaser and the Transferred Entities in asserting the Pre-Closing Claim to the insurer of such Occurrence-Based Policy and (C) remitting any insurance proceeds received by the Seller Group in respect of such Pre-Closing Claim to the Transferred Entities.

-78-

uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts relating to or associated with such claims and (2) reimburse Seller promptly upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 6.10(b). This Section 6.10(b) shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance, and nothing in this Section 6.10(b) is intended to waive or abrogate in any way the Seller Group’s own rights to insurance coverage. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for its operation of the Transferred Entities and the Business with respect to the Post-Closing Claims.

Section 6.11 D&O Indemnity.

(a) The parties hereto agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liability for or in connection with acts or omissions occurring at any time prior to or on the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder), that now exist in favor of any Person who prior to or on the Closing Date is or was a current or former director, manager, officer or employee of a Transferred Entity (each, a “D&O Indemnified Person”), solely as provided in the Organizational Documents of a Transferred Entity, or in any Contract between a D&O Indemnified Person and a Transferred Entity as set forth on Schedule 6.11(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (an “Indemnity Agreement”) (such rights, the “Indemnification Obligations”), will survive the Closing and will continue in full force and effect for six (6) years following the Closing Date. In furtherance the foregoing, for the six (6) year period following the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause the Transferred Entities to, and the Transferred Entities shall (i) maintain in the Organizational Documents of each of the Transferred Entities provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liability that in each such respect are at least as favorable to each D&O Indemnified Person as those contained in each Transferred Entity’s respective Organizational Documents, as applicable, as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Person and (ii) continue each Indemnity Agreement without termination, revocation, amendment or other modification that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Person.

(b) If Purchaser or any Transferred Entity (or any of its successors or assigns) (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person (including by dissolution, liquidation, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar action), then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that such other Person fully assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.11 will survive the Closing. This Section 6.11 will be for the irrevocable benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person and his or her respective heirs, executors, administrators, estates, successors and assigns, and each such Person will be an express intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement for such purposes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations under this Section 6.11 will not be terminated, revoked, modified or amended in any way so as to adversely affect any Person referred to in the second sentence of this Section 6.11(c) without the written consent of such Person. With respect to any Indemnification Obligations occurring prior to or on the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement and the

-79-

transactions contemplated hereby), each Transferred Entity, as applicable, will be the indemnitor of first resort, responsible for all such indemnification and advancement that any D&O Indemnified Person may otherwise have from any direct or indirect, current or former stockholder or equityholder of any of the Transferred Entities (or any current or former Affiliate of such stockholder or equityholder) and without right to seek or obtain subrogation, indemnity or contribution.

Section 6.12 Litigation Support. Seller shall retain the defense (including all costs associated therewith) and sole control for matters set forth on Section 6.12 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Retained Matters”). Seller shall be afforded reasonable access to any Contract, books and records, and other documents and data to the extent related to the Retained Matters and, for the avoidance of doubt Seller shall retain the counsel of its choice and seek recovery and indemnification under any applicable indemnification provisions. The conduct of the Retained Matters shall be subject to the procedures applicable to any Third Party Claim in Section 11.5 (other than clause (c) thereof) (with Seller being the Indemnifying Party and Purchaser being the Indemnified Party), mutatis mutandis, except that (a) Seller shall not be permitted to settle or compromise any Retained Matter under any circumstances without Purchaser’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditions), provided that (a) such settlement or judgment does not involve any equitable relief, other non-monetary relief, or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party, (b) the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts in such settlement or judgment (c) such settlement or judgment includes a complete and unconditional release of any Indemnified Party affected by such Third Party Claim, and (d) in addition to their right to participate in, and be consulted on, the defense of such Retained Matters, Purchaser shall be afforded the reasonable opportunity, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to (1) review and comment on all material filings, submissions and other documentation in any Retained Matter and (2) participate in all conferences and meetings relating to any Retained Matter. In the event and for so long as any party hereto or any of its respective Affiliates is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Action, investigation, charge, claim, or demand by or against a third party (other than an Action brought against or by the other party hereto or any Affiliate of such other party) in connection with (a) any transactions contemplated under this Agreement, (b) any fact, situation, circumstance or transaction related to or in connection with or arising from the Retained Businesses, the Business or the Transferred Entities, as applicable and (c) Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates (and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their other Representatives) to, at the expense of the other party, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party (or its applicable Affiliates), and its counsel in such prosecution, contest or defense, including using commercially reasonable efforts to make available its personnel, participate in meetings, provide such testimony and access to their books and records and take such other actions as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense; provided, that if any party hereto reasonably believes upon advice of counsel that such cooperation, testimony or access would breach attorney-client, work product or similar privilege or any confidentiality obligations set forth in written agreements with third parties, the parties hereto shall cooperate in seeking a reasonable alternative means whereby the requesting party and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives are provided such cooperation, testimony or access in a manner that does not jeopardize such privilege or protection or breach such obligation. From and after the Closing, (i) Seller hereby agrees to, to the extent applicable, move for substitution or take similar actions under applicable Law for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in any and all Actions primarily related to the Business for any member of the Seller

-80-

Group, and for such member of the Seller Group to be released from any and all such Actions effective as of the Closing and (ii) Purchaser hereby agrees to, or to cause its Affiliates to, to the extent applicable, move for substitution or take similar actions under applicable Law for Seller or one or more of its Affiliates to be substituted in any and all Actions not primarily related to the Business for any Transferred Entities, and to move for the Transferred Entities to be released from any and all such Actions. In the event of any conflict between this Section 6.12 and Section 7.14, Section 7.14 shall control.

Section 6.13 Misallocation; Misdirected Payments.

(a) If, following the Closing, any Excluded Asset or Retained Liability is found to have been transferred to or retained by the Transferred Entities or their Affiliates, Purchaser shall cause the applicable Transferred Entity to, and the applicable Transferred Entity shall, use reasonable best efforts to (i) transfer, or cause its applicable Affiliate to transfer such Excluded Asset or Retained Liability to the applicable member of the Seller Group as soon as practicable for no consideration, and Seller shall cause the applicable member of the Seller Group to accept and assume such Excluded Asset or Retained Liability, and (ii) obtain (and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and the applicable Transferred Entity in obtaining) all consents from Persons necessary or appropriate for the purposes of transferring, assigning, and conveying such Excluded Asset or Retained Liability (or part thereof) or the relevant interests in them to the applicable member of the Seller Group; provided, that, until such consent is obtained, the parties hereto shall cooperate so that the applicable member of the Seller Group obtains the rights and benefits and assumes the risks and obligations of the relevant Excluded Asset or Retained Liability.

(b) If, following the Closing, any Business Asset or Business Liability is found to have been transferred to or retained by a member of the Seller Group, either directly or indirectly, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) transfer, or cause the applicable member of the Seller Group to transfer, such Business Asset or Business Liability to the applicable Transferred Entity or its applicable Affiliate as soon as practicable for no consideration, and Purchaser shall cause the applicable Transferred Entity to accept and assume such Business Asset or Business Liability, and (ii) obtain (and Purchaser and the applicable Transferred Entity shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Seller in obtaining) all consents from Persons necessary or appropriate for the purposes of transferring, assigning, and conveying such Business Asset or Business Liability (or part thereof) or the relevant interests in them to the applicable Transferred Entity or its applicable Affiliate; provided, that, until such consent is obtained, the parties hereto shall cooperate so that the applicable Transferred Entity obtains the rights and benefits and assumes the risks and obligations of the relevant Business Asset or Business Liability.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, following the Closing, (i) if any payments due with respect to the Business are paid in error to any member of the Seller Group, Seller shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Seller Group to, promptly remit by wire or draft such payment to an account designated in writing by Purchaser and (ii) if any payments due with respect to the Retained Businesses are paid in error to Purchaser, the Transferred Entities or their Affiliates, Purchaser shall, or cause its Affiliates to, promptly remit by wire or draft such payment to an account designated in writing by Seller.

-81-

(d) The parties shall reasonably cooperate to effect any transfers or other arrangements described in Section 6.13(a) in a manner that is Tax efficient for the parties and their respective Affiliates, including by treating the Person initially in possession of any such payment referenced in Section 6.13(a) after the Closing as holding such payment as an agent or nominee for the transferee thereof for all Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.13(a) shall not apply to Tax Refunds or credits, which are governed by Section 8.9.

Section 6.14 Use of Seller Names. Except as expressly provided in this Section 6.14, Section 6.18 and the Marks included in the Business Intellectual Property (including the Transferred Marks), neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) shall use, or have or acquire the right to use or any other rights in any Marks of Seller or any of its Affiliates, including “APRIA”, “BYRAM”, and “ASCENDRA”, or any variations or derivatives thereof or any names, trademarks, service Marks or logos of Seller or any of its Affiliates (excluding, in each case, the Transferred Marks or other Marks included in the Business Intellectual Property), or any name, trademark, service Mark or logo that is confusingly similar to any of the foregoing (the “Seller Names”).

Section 6.15 Use of Transferred Marks; License.

(a) Except as expressly provided in this Section 6.15, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (excluding, from and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) shall use, or have or acquire the right to use or any other rights in, any Marks included in the Owned Intellectual Property, including “Owens & Minor, Inc.”, “Owens & Minor”, “O&M”, “OMI”, or any variations or derivatives thereof or any names, trademarks, service Marks or logos of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) or any name, trademark, service Mark or logo that is confusingly similar to any of the foregoing (the “Transferred Marks”).

(b) Seller and its Affiliates may continue temporarily to use the Transferred Marks following the Closing, and solely in a manner consistent with the continued operation of their respective businesses immediately prior to the Closing, to the extent used immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that, effective as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (and in any event within six (6) months thereafter), Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (excluding, from and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities), to: (i) cease and discontinue any use of any Transferred Marks in any corporate, legal entity, trade, “doing business as” or other fictitious business name, uniform resource locator, domain name, social media handle or similar identifier; and (ii) change its corporate, legal entity, trade, “doing business as” or other fictitious business names to names that do not contain, and are not confusingly similar to, any Transferred Marks, and file (or cause to be filed) all amendments, certificates and notifications with applicable Governmental Entities and registrars necessary to effect such name changes at the Closing. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date (and in any event within six (6) months thereafter) Seller shall and shall cause each of Affiliates, as applicable, to, (i) cease and discontinue use of all Transferred Marks and (ii) complete the removal of the Transferred Marks from all products, signage, vehicles, properties, technical information, stationery and promotional or other marketing materials, any electronic medium or website, and other assets. Pursuant to the foregoing, the Transferred Entities hereby grant to the Seller Group a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except as permitted hereunder), royalty-free, fully paid-up license and right to use and display the Transferred Marks for up to a six (6) month period immediately following the Closing solely as such Transferred Marks were used in connection with the operation of the Business as of the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Group may continue to use the Transferred Marks at all times following the Closing (i) as required by applicable Law and as may be required to perform contractual obligations existing as of the Closing, (ii) on internal business and legal documents, (iii) in a neutral, non-trademark manner to describe the history of the Transferred Entities or Business, or (iv) otherwise as permitted by “fair use” principles.

Section 6.16 Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement; Non-Compete.

(a) As an inducement for Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall not, and shall cause each other member of the Seller Group not to, at any time prior to five (5) years from the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, solicit the employment or services of, or hire, any Transferred Business Employee as of the Closing Date (x) with a title of Director or above or (y) in the commercial team, unless such Person (i) has been terminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates subsequent to the Closing or (ii) has otherwise ceased employment or engagement with any Transferred Entity for a period of at least six (6) months prior to the date of such solicitation or hire. For purposes of this Section 6.16, the terms “solicit the employment or services” shall not be deemed to include generalized searches for employees through media advertisements of general circulation, employment search firms, open job fairs or otherwise.

(b) For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause each other member of the Seller Group not to (i) induce or attempt to induce any customers, distributors or suppliers with a business relationship with the Transferred Entities to divert their business to any competitor of the Transferred Entities, or in any way materially and intentionally interfere with the relationship between such customer, distributor or supplier and the Transferred Entities, or (ii) disparage Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in any way that could adversely affect the goodwill, reputation or business relationships of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) with the public generally, or with any of their customers, suppliers or employees. For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall instruct its controlled Affiliates not to, disparage Seller or any of its Affiliates in any way that could adversely affect the goodwill, reputation or business relationships of Seller or any of its Affiliates with the public generally, or with any of their customers, suppliers or employees.

(c) For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), Seller shall not, and shall cause each other member of the Seller Group not to, directly or indirectly through any Person or contractual arrangement, engage in any business anywhere that competes, in whole or in part, with the Business (the “Competitive Business”) or perform management, executive or supervisory functions with respect to, acquire, own, operate, join, control, render financial assistance to, receive any economic benefit from, exert any influence upon, participate in, render services or advice to, or allow any of its officers or employees to be connected as an officer, employee, partner, member, stockholder, consultant or otherwise with, any business or Person that engages in the Competitive Business. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Person shall acquire (in one transaction or a series of transactions, and whether through any merger, reorganization, consolidation, tender offer, self-tender, exchange offer, stock acquisition, asset acquisition, binding share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture or otherwise) a controlling interest in Seller, such Person and its Affiliates (other than members of the Seller Group) shall not be subject to this Section 6.16(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit (i) any member of the Seller Group from engaging in the Retained Business at the Closing Date, (ii) any member of the Seller Group from directly or indirectly acquiring (in one transaction

-83-

or a series of transactions, and whether through any merger, reorganization, consolidation, tender offer, self-tender, exchange offer, stock acquisition, asset acquisition, binding share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture or otherwise) any interest in a Person or business engaged in a Competitive Business, and operating and managing such Person or business; provided that if such Competitive Business represents five percent (5%) or more of the net revenues or net income of such acquired Person or business, as applicable, for such acquired business’s or Person’s most recently completed fiscal year, then the applicable member of the Seller Group shall, within twelve (12) months after the consummation of Seller’s or one or more Subsidiaries’ acquisition (whether by merger, business combination, stock purchase or otherwise) of such Person or business so long as the Non-Competition Period is still in effect, either (x) dispose of such Person or business or the relevant portion thereof that is engaged in the Competitive Business or (y) discontinue the operation of such Competitive Business, or (iii) any member of the Seller Group (other than the Transferred Entities) from performing their obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

(d) Each party acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.16 are reasonable and necessary, in terms of time, area and line of business, to protect the legitimate interests of the other parties and constitute a material inducement to the parties to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any covenant contained in this Section 6.16 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.16 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.17 Financing.

(a) Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision (including any remedy) under the Equity Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) adds new (or adversely expands any existing) conditions to the receipt of the Equity Financing or any other terms to the Equity Financing as compared to those in the Equity Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement, (ii) adversely affects the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights against the Purchaser Sponsor under the Equity Commitment Letter, (iii) reduces (or has the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing, or (iv) could otherwise be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Closing beyond the date the Closing is required to occur under this Agreement. Purchaser 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, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letter, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the commitment for the Equity Financing set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms, (ii) satisfy (and cause each of its Affiliates to satisfy), or if deemed reasonably advisable by Purchaser obtain the waiver of, on a timely basis, all conditions applicable

-84-

to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in such Equity Commitment Letter that are within its control and that are to be satisfied by it to consummate the Equity Financing at or prior to Closing, (iii) consummate the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing, (iv) comply in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, and (v) fully enforce its rights pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter. Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take or refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that could reasonably be expected to result in failure to satisfy any of the conditions contained in the Equity Commitment Letter.

(b) Purchaser 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 (i) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Purchaser set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including definitive agreements related thereto and, to the extent required thereby, any “flex” terms contained in the Fee Letter) that are within its control and that are to be satisfied by it to consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing, including the payment of any commitment, engagement or placement fees required as a condition to the Debt Financing, (ii) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (other than modifications to such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Purchaser so long as such modifications would be permitted under the restrictions on amendments and modifications otherwise set forth in this Section 6.17), and (iii) consummate the Debt Financing at the Closing; provided, however, that if commitments and funds in the amounts and on the terms set forth in a Debt Commitment Letter become unavailable to Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth therein, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (the “Alternative Financing”) in amounts (after taking into consideration the amount of the Equity Financing that is available) equal to or greater than the Required Amount; provided, that if Purchaser proceeds with Alternative Financing, it shall be subject to the same obligations with respect to the Alternative Financing as set forth in this Section 6.17 with respect to the Debt Financing and all references in this Agreement to the Debt Financing (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by Purchaser that speak as of the date hereof) shall be deemed to also refer to the Alternative Financing.

(c) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Seller and the Transferred Entities apprised of material developments relating to the Debt Financing on a reasonably current basis. Purchaser shall give the Seller prompt notice (i) of any material breach or default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing of which Purchaser has knowledge thereof, (ii) of the receipt by Purchaser of (1) any written notice or (2) other written communication, in each case from any Debt Financing Source with respect to any (A) actual or potential material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any Debt Financing Source of any material provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing with respect to the obligation to fund the Debt Financing or the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded at the Closing and (iii) if at any time for any reason Purchaser believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing necessary to satisfy the Required Amount. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Seller delivers to Purchaser a written request for information, Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Seller relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Purchaser shall not replace, amend or waive the Debt

-85-

Commitment Letter without the Seller’s prior written consent if such replacement, amendment or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to an amount, when taken together with the Equity Financing, less than the Required Amount, (ii) imposes new or additional conditions, or otherwise expands any of the conditions, to the receipt of Debt Financing, or (iii) has the effect of any other amendment, modification or waiver that could reasonably be expected to delay the Closing beyond the date the Closing is required to occur under this Agreement or prevent the Closing; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may, without the written consent of the Company, (1) amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add Debt Financing Sources that have not previously executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement and to grant to such Debt Financing Sources such approval rights as are customarily granted to additional lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities, (2) amend the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing to give effect to any “flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and/or Fee Letters, (3) to amend titles, allocations and fee sharing arrangements with respect to existing and additional Debt Financing Sources and (4) to increase the amount of the Debt Financing. Any reference in this Agreement (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by Purchaser that speak as of the date hereof) to “Debt Commitment Letter” and “Debt Financing” shall include such debt financing and letters as amended, restated, supplemented, modified, replaced or substituted in compliance with this Section 6.17 and any Alternative Financing in compliance with this Section 6.17. “Financings” (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by Purchaser that speak as of the date hereof) shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing as amended, restated, supplemented, modified, replaced or substituted in compliance with this Section 6.17 and any Alternative Financing in compliance herewith.

(d) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, as promptly as reasonably possible following the date hereof, use reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken any action that is necessary and proper, including obtaining any required consents approvals or amendments to the Debt Commitment Letter, to extend the Termination Date (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) to a date that is three (3) months following the Outside Date (as defined herein as in effect on the date hereof but without giving effect to the provisos set forth in such definition). Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed on its progress with respect to such extension and prior to executing any documents in connection with such extension of the Debt Financing under the Debt Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller and provide any related document to Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the obligations of Purchaser in this Section 6.17(d) shall only be required if Seller, its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives are in compliance in all material respects with Section 6.18(a)(i)(x) and 6.18(a)(i)(y) below and (ii) it is understood and agreed that, for the avoidance of doubt, reasonable best efforts required of Purchaser in this Section 6.17(d) shall not require the Purchaser to (x) incur any additional fees (other than customary ticking fees or extension fees) or grant any additional economics to any party, (y) obtain any Alternative Financing or any other financing from any source other than the Debt Financing Sources or (z) agree to any terms that are less favorable to Purchaser in any respect than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter.

Section 6.18 Assistance with Financing.

(a) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to, provide such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Purchaser to arrange, syndicate and obtain the Debt Financing to be obtained by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

-86-

information pursuant to this subclause (z) that is not reasonably available under its or their current reporting systems or that the Seller or its Subsidiaries are not reasonably able to produce without undue burden (other than any Business Financial Statements or other financial statements contemplated by this Agreement); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Seller, its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives in clauses (i)(x) and (i)(y) above shall not be subject to a reasonable best efforts standard and shall be completed in all respects;

(ii) using reasonable best efforts to facilitate the pledging of, granting a security interest in and obtaining perfection of any Liens on, collateral in connection with the Closing, and cooperating with any collateral appraisals and field examinations as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or the Debt Financing Sources, in each case solely with respect to the Transferred Entities;

(v) using reasonable best efforts to obtain documents reasonably requested by Purchaser or the Debt Financing Sources relating to the release of the Transferred Entities from the Retained Indebtedness and the release on the Closing Date of all related Liens;

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take or permit the taking of any action pursuant to this Section 6.18: (A) that would require Seller, the Transferred Entities or any of their Affiliates or any other Persons who are directors or officers of such entities to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt Financing in each case with respect to the Transferred Entities other than those that are conditioned upon the Closing occurring or that would only be effective at or after the Closing Date, (B) that would require Seller of any of its Affiliates (other than a Transferred Entity) or any other Persons to execute or deliver any certificate, opinion, document, instrument or agreement or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, opinion, document, instrument or agreement, except with respect to “know-your-customer” information and delivery of customary authorization letters referred to above, (C) that would require any Transferred Entity to execute or deliver any certificate, document, instrument or agreement, or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, document, instrument or agreement, in each case, prior to the Closing, except with respect to “know-your-customer” information and execution and delivery of customary authorization letters referred to above (it being understood that no obligations of any Transferred Entity under any certificate, document, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant to this Section 6.18 shall be required to be effective prior to the Closing, except with respect to “know-your-customer” information and execution and delivery of customary authorization letters referred to above), (D) that would cause any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement to be breached or would cause any condition to the Closing to fail to be satisfied, (E) that would require Seller or any of its Affiliates to pay any commitment or other similar fee in connection with the Debt Financing, (F) that could cause any director, officer or employee or stockholder of Seller or any of its Affiliates to incur any personal liability, (G) that could reasonably be expected to conflict with, result in any material violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) under, any of their respective Organizational Documents, or any applicable Law or material Contracts, (H) that provides access to or discloses information that Seller or any of its Affiliates reasonably determines would reasonably be expected to jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality obligations binding on, Seller or any of its Affiliates, (I) to prepare or deliver (1) any financial statements or information that are not available to it and prepared in the ordinary course of its financial reporting practice, (2) any projections or pro forma financial statements or (3) any financial statements or information relating to any Person or asset other than Transferred Entities in each case of the foregoing clauses (1) through (3), other than as set forth in Section 6.18(a) and the financial statements set forth on Section 4.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, (J) that would cause significant competitive harm to Seller or its Subsidiaries if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (K) take any action that, in the good faith determination of the Company, would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Seller, the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (L) change any fiscal period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall require the Seller or the Company to cause the delivery of any legal opinions or any certificate as to solvency by the Seller or the Company or their Subsidiaries. All non-public or other confidential information provided by Seller or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.18 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 6.2 of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 6.18 or otherwise shall require Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than, at or following the Closing, any Transferred Entity) to encumber any of its assets or be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing or require any Transferred Entity to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing prior to the Closing.

-88-

Purchaser shall, at or after the Closing or following the valid termination of this Agreement, promptly upon request by Seller, reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for all reasonable and documented fees, costs, expenses and Liabilities incurred by any of them or their respective Representatives in connection with fulfilling their respective obligations pursuant to this Section 6.18 (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees); provided that Purchaser shall not be required to reimburse Seller or any of its Affiliates for costs and expenses with respect to financial statements, financial information or other materials contemplated by this Agreement, prepared prior to the date hereof or, after the date hereof, that Seller or such Affiliate would have prepared in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 6.18 represent the sole obligations of Seller and any of its Representatives with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of any financing to be obtained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) or the Ancillary Agreements shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with the Debt Financing or any other financing by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the arrangement thereof) and any information used in connection therewith; provided that the foregoing shall not apply in the Seller’s or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives’ willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. The reimbursement and indemnification obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Section 6.18(b) are referred to, collectively, as the “Reimbursement Obligations.” Seller hereby consents to the use of the logos of Seller and its Subsidiaries in connection with any such Debt Financing; provided that such logos shall be used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect Seller and/or its Subsidiaries or their reputation or goodwill.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article VII, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities shall not assume any obligations under, or Liabilities with respect to, or receive any right or interest in any trusts relating to, any assets of or any insurance, administration or other Contracts, or related obligations pertaining to, any Seller Benefit Plan. Except as otherwise provided for pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, as of the Closing Date, the Transferred Business Employees and their eligible dependents will cease any participation in each of the Seller Benefit Plans; provided that Transferred Business Employees and their eligible dependents may continue to participate in such Seller Benefit Plans as terminated but vested employees (or eligible dependents thereof) in accordance with, and subject to their eligibility under, the terms of such Seller Benefit Plans. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall assume, or shall cause the Transferred Entities to assume or retain, as the case may be, sponsorship of, and all Liabilities and other obligations with respect to, the Transferred Entity Benefit Plans.

Section 7.9 Paid Time Off. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, all accrued but unused vacation and other paid time off for any Business Employee who is transferring to a Transferred Entity in accordance with Section 7.2(a) (including, for the Transferred India Business Employees, all accrued earned/privilege leave as of the Closing in accordance with applicable state Shops and Establishments legislation and the Factories Act, 1948, as applicable) shall be rolled over to and assumed by such Transferred Entity prior to Closing. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall, and shall cause the Transferred Entities to, continue to credit to each Transferred Business Employee all accrued vacation and other paid time off that such Transferred Business Employee has not used as of the Closing Date. For purposes of clarity, no payout of any vacation, sick pay or other paid time off shall be made in connection with the Closing unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 7.10 Additional Actions. Purchaser agrees to take, or cause its applicable Subsidiary to take, the actions on Section 7.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

Section 7.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 12.5, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall (a) be treated as a creation of, amendment to, modification for any purpose of, or termination of any Seller Benefit Plan, Transferred Entity Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program or agreement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Seller, any Transferred Entity, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, (b) prevent Purchaser or its Affiliates from amending or terminating any Transferred Entity Benefit Plan or any other Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms, (c) prevent Purchaser or its Affiliates, on or after the Closing Date, from terminating the employment of any Transferred Entity Employee (subject to Section 7.2), or (d) confer any rights or remedies (including third-party beneficiary rights) on any current or former director, employee, consultant or independent contractor of Seller, any Transferred Entity, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or any beneficiary or dependent thereof or any other Person, other than the parties hereto.

Section 7.12 Immigration Compliance. From and after the date of this Agreement and following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to process and support visa, work permit, green card or similar applications with respect to Business Employees as of the Closing Date, and Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, cooperate with Purchaser and its Affiliates in preparing and filing any necessary applications to secure such support visa, work permit, green card or similar application with respect to Business Employees as promptly as practicable. Purchaser and its Affiliates, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to employ any Business Employees who are foreign nationals working in the United States in non-immigrant visa status (the “U.S. Foreign National Employees”) under terms and conditions such that Purchaser and its Affiliates, as applicable, qualify as a “successor employer” under applicable United States immigration laws effective as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates agree to assume all immigration-related liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such U.S. Foreign National Employees.

Section 7.13 Restrictive Covenant Enforcement. Seller agrees that, commencing as of the Closing and for fifteen (15) months thereafter (the “Enforcement Period”), Seller shall or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, solely to the extent permitted by applicable Law, enforce its rights under any employee non-solicitation or non-hire covenant between Seller or its applicable Affiliate (other than a Transferred Entity) and any Restricted Executive (as defined below), in the event that such Restricted Executive breaches any such covenant by soliciting or hiring any Transferred Business Employee for employment with any Person that engages in activities the same as or similar to those engaged in by the Business or otherwise competes with the Business. For purposes of this Section 7.13, “Restricted Executive” means any individual who was employed by Seller or any of its Affiliates at the level of Vice President or above, other than a Transferred Business Employee. Purchaser agrees to reimburse Seller or any of its Affiliates, within thirty (30) days following receipt of any invoices from Seller or its Affiliate, for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses and all other liabilities reasonably incurred in furtherance of Seller or any of its Affiliates taking any actions necessary to comply with this Section 7.13. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.13 requires Seller or any of its Affiliates to expand the scope of any restrictive covenant with a Restricted Executive, and Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.13 are limited by the terms and scope of the relevant employee non-solicitation and non-hire covenants currently in place with any Restricted Executive and applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.13, during the Enforcement Period, Seller may, or may cause its applicable Affiliate to, in Seller’s sole discretion, assign to Purchaser or its Affiliate, its rights (to the extent such rights are assignable and are not limited or impaired by such assignment) under a Restricted Executive’s non-solicitation or non-hire covenant described in this Section 7.13, solely for the purpose of enforcing such rights, in the event that such Restricted Executive engages in a breach of such covenant described in this Section 7.13. In the event of such assignment, Seller shall be relieved of all other obligations under this Section 7.13.

Section 7.14 Replacement Awards. Seller agrees that, when Purchaser or one of its Affiliates becomes obligated to make any payment in respect of any “Replacement Award” (as defined in Section 7.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule): (i) Purchaser shall provide notice to Seller of the amount paid by Seller in respect of the Replacement Award, along with the amount of the employer portion of any payroll or similar Taxes with respect thereto, within thirty (30) days following such payment (collectively, the “Reimbursement Amount”), and (ii) within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser or the applicable affiliate for

-100-

the full amount of the Reimbursement Amount; provided, that reimbursement for Replacement Awards per this Section 7.14 shall only be for the portion of Replacement Awards that were originally scheduled to vest on or after January 1, 2027, regardless of when actually vested or paid; provided, further, that the employer portion of any payroll or similar Taxes reimbursable by Purchaser shall be calculated as if the applicable recipient of the Replacement Award payment received compensation from Seller, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) equal to such recipient’s annual salary for the remainder of the applicable calendar year before receiving the Replacement Award payment.

Section 7.15 Replacement Benefit Plans. Seller shall, in coordination with Purchaser, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Transferred Entity to adopt standalone health and welfare benefit plans (collectively, “Replacement Benefit Plans”) for Transferred Business Employees located in the United States to provide coverage as of January 1, 2026. Such Replacement Benefit Plans, and all assets, Liabilities and contracts maintained or entered pursuant to or in connection therewith, shall be assumed or retained by a Transferred Entity and shall constitute Transferred Entity Benefit Plans for purposes of this Agreement. To the extent (i) the Replacement Benefits Plans are not effective as of the Closing Date or (ii) any Transferred Business Employee on short-term or long-term disability as of the Closing Date is not eligible to participate in any Replacement Benefit Plan that is a group health plan (excluding voluntary benefits), Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree on an alternative arrangement to ensure that such Transferred Business Employees are able to continue to participate in Seller benefit plans providing health and welfare benefits (which alternative arrangement may be provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement).

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

Section 8.1 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The parties agree that each of Owens & Minor Distribution, Inc., O&M Halyard, Inc., Medical Action Industries, Inc. and any other Transferred Entity that is directly held by the Company shall be treated as a C corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes as of the Closing Date and the transactions contemplated by this agreement shall be treated as a transfer of the stock of each such entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, Seller shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to) (i) cause any such entity to be treated as an entity other than a C corporation for Tax purposes, or (ii) take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be treated as a transfer of assets of the Transferred Entities for U.S. federal or state income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein impacts Purchaser’s rights under Section 6.29 with respect to the transfer of Tally Surgical.

(b) The Purchase Price shall, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local Income Tax purposes, be allocated among each of the Transferred Entities that is directly held by the Company in the manner set forth on Section 8.1(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Headline Allocation”). Each of Seller, Purchaser, the Transferred Entities and their respective Affiliates shall prepare and file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Headline Allocation and shall take no position inconsistent with the Headline Allocation on any Tax Return or in any proceeding before any Tax Authority for Tax purposes unless required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or comparable provision of state or local Tax laws provided with respect to a state or local determination that any such determination by an applicable Tax Authority shall only affect the parties’ obligations in the applicable jurisdiction).

-101-

(c) Upon Seller’s request and Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, it shall be unreasonable for Purchaser to withhold its consent if Purchaser would not be adversely affected by such action), any U.S. subsidiary of Owens & Minor Distribution, Inc., O&M Halyard, Inc., or Medical Action Industries, Inc. shall convert to a disregarded entity prior to the Closing.

Section 8.2 Straddle Period Allocation. For all applicable purposes under this Agreement, any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned as follows: (a) property, ad valorem, intangible, and other periodic Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (b) Taxes (other than Taxes allocable under clause (a) of this Section 8.2) allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed on the basis of a “closing of the books,” as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date; provided that (x) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of calendar days in each period, and (y) the taxable year of any partnership, pass-through entity or “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code that any Transferred Entities owns, directly or indirectly, shall be deemed to end at the end of the Closing Date for such purposes and, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes with respect to income included under Section 951 and 951A of the Code shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. Any Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined without regard to any activities or operations of the Transferred Entities taken at the direction of Purchaser outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date after the Closing (except to the extent contemplated by this Agreement).

Section 8.3 Cooperation and Exchange of Information.

(a) Not more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of a request from Seller, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Seller a package of Tax information materials, including schedules and work papers, reasonably requested by Seller in writing to enable Seller to prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by it with respect to the Transferred Entities, the Business or the Retained Business for the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(b) Each party to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the other party to this Agreement such cooperation, documentation and information as such other party reasonably may request in connection with (i) the preparation of any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (ii) the determination of Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes or (iii) the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, in each case, to the extent such documentation and information relates to the Transferred Entities or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with all relevant portions of relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to

-102-

rulings or other determinations by Tax Authorities, and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property and other information, which any such party may possess. Each party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its own cost to provide an explanation of any documents or information so provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller or any of its Affiliates be required to disclose or provide access to any Tax Return of a member of the Seller Group or any Consolidated Tax Return or any accompanying schedules, work papers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax Authorities, powers of attorney, or any other information with respect to any Consolidated Tax Return (other than the portion of such Consolidated Tax Return and any other such information that relates to the Transferred Entities prepared on a pro forma basis). Any information obtained under this Section 8.3 shall be kept confidential, except as may be necessary in connection with the filing of a Tax Returns or claims for refund or in the course of a Tax Proceeding. The parties further agree that the sharing of information and cooperation contemplated by this Section 8.3 shall be done in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the parties.

(c) Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters of the Transferred Entities for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (ii) five (5) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them after offering the other party reasonable notice and opportunity to take possession of such Tax Returns and other documents at such other party’s own expense (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, that (a) Seller shall have no obligation to retain or offer Purchaser any Tax Returns or other documents not required to be provided under Section 8.3 and (b) Purchaser shall not be required to retain or offer Seller any Tax Returns or other documents, except to the extent that such Tax Returns or other documents relate to Income Taxes of a Transferred Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period).

Section 8.4 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

Following the Closing:

(a) Purchaser shall timely prepare or cause to be timely prepared all Tax Returns for Income Taxes of the Transferred Entities (other than Consolidated Tax Returns) for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period the due date of which, taking into account applicable extensions, is after the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”). Each such Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the most recent past practice, procedures and accounting methods of the applicable Transferred Entity that are supported by a “more-likely-than-not” or higher level of confidence, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or explicitly set forth in this Agreement (the “Preparation Principles”). Purchaser shall deliver a copy of each Pre-Closing Tax Return to Seller at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date thereof (taking into account any applicable extensions) for Seller’s review, comment, and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and Purchaser shall incorporate any timely comments made by Seller that are consistent with the Preparation Principles.

-103-

(b) Purchaser and Seller shall consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to the Tax Returns referenced in Section 8.4. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to any Tax Return prepared by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.4(a), any such open issues shall be referred to the Independent Accounting Firm promptly for review and resolution (in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.6). Upon the resolution of all such items, the relevant Tax Return shall be timely filed on that basis. Notwithstanding the deadlines set forth in this Section 8.4 with respect to the preparation of any Tax Return described therein, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to set earlier or later deadlines if it is reasonably necessary in order to timely file or to allow sufficient time for preparation and review of such Tax Return prior to the due date of such Tax Return (including applicable extensions).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in the preparation or filing of, any Consolidated Tax Return.

(d) To the extent Seller and its applicable Subsidiaries are permitted to make such election under applicable Law, Seller intends to, and intends to cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, make the high-tax election for the non-U.S. Transferred Entities for the 2025 tax year.

Section 8.5 Tax Contests.

(a) Following the Closing, if Seller, Purchaser, any of the Transferred Entities and any of the Affiliates of the foregoing receives notice of any audit, examination, investigation, proceeding, or other action against a Transferred Entity that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period of a Transferred Entity that could reasonably be expected to increase the liability of any member of the Seller Group for Seller Indemnified Taxes for which Seller is liable under this Agreement or decrease Seller’s entitlements to Tax Refunds to which it is entitled to under this Agreement, or otherwise affect a Consolidated Tax Return (a “Tax Contest”), then the party receiving notice of such Tax Contest shall promptly give written notice to the other party. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Contest and, to the extent known, the amount thereof and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received relating to such Tax Contest.

(b) In the case of a Tax Contest solely with respect to clause (c) of Seller Indemnified Taxes for which the Seller is liable under this Agreement, Seller shall have the right, at its own expense, to control the conduct of such Tax Contest; provided that Purchaser shall have the right to participate in (but not control) such Tax Contest at its own expense (including attending any meetings or conferences with the relevant Tax Authority and having an opportunity to comment on any written materials prepared in connection with any such Tax Contest), Seller shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith and keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of developments with respect to such Tax Contest, and Seller shall not settle, compromise or concede any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned; provided, further, that if Purchaser and Seller agree in writing that Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Contest, then Seller shall have the right to participate in (but not control) such Tax Contest at its own expense, and Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or concede any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

-104-

(c) In the case of any Tax Contest that is not described in Section 8.5(b), Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Contest; provided, that Purchaser (i) shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith and keep Seller reasonably informed of the status of developments with respect to such Tax Contest, (ii) permit Seller to participate in such Tax Contest, including attending any meetings or conferences with the relevant Tax Authority and having an opportunity to comment on any written materials prepared in connection with any such Tax Contest, and (iii) shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, settle, compromise or concede any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned; provided, further that if Purchaser and Seller agree in writing that Seller shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Contest, then Purchaser shall have the right to participate in (but not control) such Tax Contest at its own expense, and Seller shall not settle, compromise or concede any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Contest with respect to any Consolidated Tax Return (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any Tax Contest with respect to any Consolidated Tax Return with respect to clause (a) or (b) or (d) of Seller Indemnified Taxes); provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to a Tax Contest with respect to clause (e) of Seller Indemnified Taxes for the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in (but not control) such Tax Contest at its own expense, subject to any restrictions on such participation that Seller reasonably determines are necessary to prevent Purchaser from having access to information regarding Seller’s Consolidated Tax Return that does not directly relate to the Transferred Entities (in which case Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare redacted documents or otherwise facilitate Seller’s participation in such Tax Contest).

Section 8.6 Certain Tax Matters. Without Seller’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and other than actions explicitly contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall not take any actions with respect to the Transferred Entities on the Closing Date after the Closing that are outside the ordinary course of business. The parties agree that (a) no election shall be made to ratably allocate items under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b), (b) all extraordinary items as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(C) occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing shall be allocated to the day following the Closing Date, (c) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties shall, and shall cause the Transferred Entities to, treat the Closing Date as the last date of a taxable period of the Transferred Entities that are United States persons, and (d) all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be reported in the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent deductible by the Transferred Entities in such period at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of confidence.

Section 8.7 Post-Closing Tax Covenant. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) not to take any of the following actions unless consented to by Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed): (i) make (other than pursuant to Section 8.2) change or revoke any Tax election (including an election to waive the carryback of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute existing as of the

-105-

Closing Date for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date) of a Transferred Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or that has retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) file (other than pursuant to Section 8.4) or amend any Tax Return of a Transferred Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) enter into any voluntary disclosure proceedings or agreements with a Tax Authority with respect to a Transferred Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to (1) increase any Seller Indemnified Taxes for which Seller is liable under this Agreement, (2) reduce the amount of any Tax Refund to which Seller is entitled to pursuant to Section 8.9 of this Agreement, or (3) affect a Consolidated Tax Return by more than a de minims amount.

Section 8.8 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall each pay, when due, and be responsible for, fifty percent (50%) of any sales, use, transfer, real property transfer, registration, documentary, conveyance, franchise, goods and services, stamp, value added, or similar Taxes and related fees and costs (including any penalties or interest) imposed on or payable in connection with the acquisition transaction contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”). For the avoidance of doubt, Transfer Taxes shall not include any Income Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Pre-Closing Restructuring shall be borne by Seller when due. The party required under applicable Law to file the Tax Returns with respect to any such Transfer Taxes shall prepare, at its own expense, and timely file such Tax Returns, after providing the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Tax Returns. Each of the parties shall cooperate on a reasonable basis in connection with the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to, and the payment of, any such Transfer Taxes, including joining (or causing any applicable Affiliate to join) in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. If one Party incurs Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of another Party pursuant to this Section 8.8, the Party responsible for such Transfer Taxes shall indemnify the other Party for such Transfer Taxes.

Section 8.9 Refunds.

(a) Without duplication, Seller shall be entitled to any refunds of Seller Indemnified Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or refunds of Taxes of the Transferred Entities for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are set forth on Section 8.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s entitlement to any such Tax refund that is set forth in Section 8.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall not exceed the amount of any such Tax refund set forth on such schedule, which schedule may be updated prior to the Closing by Seller (x) to reflect any such Tax refunds (including amounts thereof) that are known as of Closing or (y) to revise any amounts reflected thereon) that are received by a Transferred Entity in cash after the Closing Date (or that, in lieu of a cash refund, is actually credited against and reduce any Taxes of a Transferred Entity payable in cash for a Post-Closing Tax Period (including interest thereon received from the relevant Tax Authority and including refunds and credits arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date or otherwise)), provided that such Taxes that are refunded or credited were (A) paid by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) (including by way of indemnification under this Agreement) (B) paid by the Transferred Entities before the Calculation Time, or (C) taken into account as an Income Tax Liability in the calculation of Indebtedness (“Tax Refunds”). Any such Tax Refund for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned to Seller in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 8.2. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and to cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to claim any Tax Refund that the Transferred Entities are entitled to under applicable Law as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Purchaser shall and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) to cause the applicable Tax Authority that issues any Tax credit that is described in this Section 8.9 to issue a cash refund in lieu of such Tax credit. If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) actually receives a Tax

-106-

Refund, then Purchaser shall pay, or cause its Affiliates to pay, to Seller the amount of such Tax Refund (including any interest paid thereon by the relevant Tax Authority and net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including Taxes) incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entity) in obtaining any such Tax Refund or paying such Tax Refund to Seller) within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the Tax Refund or the application of such Tax Refund against actual cash Tax liabilities otherwise payable, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to (i) any Tax Refund attributable to any Loss or other attribute arising in a Tax period (or portion thereof) commencing after the Closing Date, (ii) any Tax Refund included as an asset in Working Capital, Transaction Expenses, or Indebtedness (as finally determined), (iii) any Tax Refund that is required to be paid to a third party pursuant to an agreement in place as of the Closing or to an insurer pursuant to the terms of a R&W insurance policy, and (iv) any Tax Refund that is credited against a Tax for which the Seller is liable under the terms of this Agreement. In the event any Tax Refund paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 8.9 is subsequently disallowed or required to be repaid to the applicable Governmental Entity, Seller shall promptly repay to Purchaser or the applicable Transferred Entity the amount of such Tax Refund previously paid to Seller. The parties hereto intend that any such payment pursuant to this Section 8.9 be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local Income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price of the Company Interests and shall not take an inconsistent position for all applicable Tax purposes (including filing Tax Returns) unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or comparable provisions of state and local Tax laws; provided with respect to a state or local determination that any such determination by an applicable Tax Authority shall only affect the parties’ obligations in the applicable jurisdiction).

Section 8.10 Other Tax Matters.

(a) Unified Loss Rules/Tax Attributes.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and after the application of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(c), Seller (or any other member of a combined, consolidated or unitary group that includes Seller) may, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(B), reattribute all or any portion of any applicable Subsidiary’s Category A, Category B, and Category C attributes. For the avoidance of doubt, Category A, Category B, and Category C attributes have the meaning described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(4)(i) and any reattribution of Category A, Category B, and Category C attributes of lower-tier subsidiaries is determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1502-36(d)(5) and 1.1502-36(d)(6)(iv)(C).

(ii) Following any reattribution described in Section 8.10(a)(i) above, Seller or any other member of a combined, consolidated or unitary group that includes Seller shall make, or shall cause to be made, a valid and timely election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) (and comparable provisions of state and local income tax Laws) to reduce the basis of the stock of the Transferred Entities that are directly held by the Company (i.e., Owens & Minor Distribution, Inc., O&M Halyard, Inc., Medical Action Industries, Inc.) solely to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction to the tax basis of assets designated in Class II, Class III, Class IV, and Class V of the Transferred Entities or any of their lower-tier Subsidiaries (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1502-36(d)(5) and 1.1502-36(d)(6)(iv)(C)). For the

-107-

avoidance of doubt, reduction of the tax basis of assets designated in Class VI and Class VII assets will be permitted and no election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) to reduce the basis of stock shall be required to avoid reduction of tax basis to Class VI or Class VII assets. For the avoidance of doubt, Class II, Class III, Class IV, Class V, Class VI, and Class VII assets have the meaning described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-6(b).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything herein to the contrary, in no event will Seller or any other member of a combined, consolidated or unitary group that includes Seller be required to reduce the stock basis in the Transferred Entities that are directly held by the Company (i.e., Owens & Minor Distribution, Inc., O&M Halyard, Inc., Medical Action Industries, Inc.) pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) in a manner that would lead to Seller recognizing a net capital gain as a result of the sales of stock of the Transferred Entities that are directly held by the Company (i.e., Owens & Minor Distribution, Inc., O&M Halyard, Inc., Medical Action Industries, Inc.).

(iv) At least 30 days prior to the due date for the filing of any election required pursuant to this Section 8.10(a)(ii) to reduce stock basis, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser for review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) the statement to be filed to make the election and information supporting the amount of stock basis reduction determined for this purpose, including documentation supporting Seller’s basis in the stock of the Transferred Entities immediately prior to the Closing, the application of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(c), and the net inside attribute amounts (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(3)(iii)(B)) of such Transferred Entities, subject to any reasonable redactions that Seller deems reasonably necessary in order to avoid sharing information regarding Seller’s Consolidated Tax Return that does not directly relate to the Transferred Entities. To the extent permitted by Law and consistent with the foregoing, Seller shall make or cause to be made comparable elections for purposes of state and local income tax laws. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Seller or any of its Affiliates elects to reduce the Tax basis of the stock of any Transferred Entity pursuant to this Section 8.10(a)(ii), neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall take any contrary position on any Tax Return or otherwise take any action inconsistent with such election.

(b) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any Tax sharing, allocation or indemnification agreement between any Transferred Entity, on the one hand, and Seller (or any Affiliate of any Seller other than a Transferred Entity), on the other hand, shall be terminated as of the Closing Date such that any Transferred Entity will not have any further obligations to Seller or any of its Affiliates under any such Tax sharing agreement.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either or both of Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall terminate and become void and have no effect, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any party to this Agreement, except as set forth below; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from Liability for Fraud or willful and material failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of Section 6.2 (Confidentiality), Section 6.3(f) (Required Actions), Section 6.6 (Public Announcements), the Reimbursement Obligations set forth in Section 6.18(b) (Assistance with Financing), Article XII (General Provisions) and this Section 10.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b)

(i) In the event of termination of this Agreement (A) pursuant to Section 10.1(b) and, at the time of such termination, one or more of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) (only to the extent related to any Regulatory Laws) have not been satisfied or waived, but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Article IX have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (so long as such conditions are capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on such date)) or (B) pursuant to Section 10.1(c) (to the extent related to any Regulatory Laws), then promptly, but in any event within fifteen

-112-

(15) Business Days after the date of such termination, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller (or, if instructed by the Seller in writing, its designee) an amount in cash equal to $9,375,000.00 (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Seller (or its designee).

Seller shall have the right to assign its right to receive a Termination Fee to one or more Persons in its sole discretion.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Section 10.3(a) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not otherwise enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Purchaser fails to pay the applicable Termination Fee pursuant to Section 10.3(a) on or prior to the date such amounts are due hereunder, and, in order to obtain such payment, Seller commences an Action that results in a final, nonappealable judgment against Purchaser for the payment of the applicable Termination Fee pursuant to Section 10.3(a) (“Enforcement Action”), Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the reasonable documented, out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Seller, as applicable, in connection with such Enforcement Action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such Enforcement Action) (such fees, costs, expenses and interest, collectively, “Enforcement Costs”); provided that in no event shall Purchaser be obligated to pay any Enforcement Costs in excess of $7,000,000.

(d) Other than in connection with the enforcement of the Confidentiality Agreement or the Sponsor Guaranty and the Seller’s injunctive, specific performance and equitable relief rights, as and only to the extent expressly permitted in Section 12.11, Seller’s right to terminate this Agreement and receive full payment of the applicable Termination Fee, any Enforcement Costs, to the extent payable pursuant to Section 10.3(b) and the Reimbursement Obligations, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and its Affiliates against Purchaser, the Purchaser Sponsor, the Debt Financing Sources any of their respective former, current and future direct and indirect equityholders, controlling persons, stockholders, Affiliates, general or limited partners, Representatives, and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons (each of the foregoing, a “Purchaser Related Party”) for any and all losses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) suffered or incurred as a result of or under or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Debt Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Debt Financing or any of the definitive agreements entered into in connection therewith or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance of any services thereunder), including the termination of this Agreement, any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser, and the failure to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Seller shall not bring nor permit any of its

-113-

Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives, or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing Persons to bring any Action against Purchaser or any other Purchaser Related Party seeking such losses suffered or incurred as a result of or under, or otherwise relating to or arising out of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) in no event shall Purchaser be required to pay, or cause to be paid, a Termination Fee on more than one occasion or to pay more than one Termination Fee and (ii) any payment of the applicable Termination Fee (together with Enforcement Costs, if applicable), as applicable, described in this Section 10.3 is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without limitation to Seller’s rights in respect of specific performance pursuant to Section 12.11, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser and any other Purchaser Related Party for money damages resulting from (i) a breach of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Sponsor Guaranty (including willful and material breach) or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) the failure of the Closing or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, in each case collectively, whether in equity or law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, shall be limited to an amount, in the aggregate in respect of clauses (i) and (ii), equal to the amount of the applicable Termination Fee, the Enforcement Costs and the Reimbursement Obligations, and in no event shall Seller or any other Person seek to recover any money damages (including consequential, indirect or punitive damages) in excess of such amount.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Seller (and no other Person) may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 12.11 and the payment of the Termination Payments pursuant to this Section 10.3, but under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both an award of money damages (including all or a portion of the Termination Payments) and also a grant of specific performance of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 12.11.

Section 10.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, either Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or covenants of the other, or conditions for such party’s benefit, contained in this Agreement. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver.

Except in the case of (i) Fraud and (ii) any covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement relating to the Pre-Closing Restructuring, the Restructuring Plan, the Separation Plan or the Transition Service Agreement (the “Restructuring Covenants”), the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or in any certificates or other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and the covenants and agreements of Seller or Purchaser contained in this Agreement that contemplate performance, in whole or in part, prior to the Closing, shall terminate at, and will not survive, the Closing. The covenants and agreements of Seller or Purchaser contained in this Agreement that contemplate performance, in whole or in part, at or after the Closing and any Restructuring Covenants that are not satisfied, in whole or in part, at or prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing until they are fully performed in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants and agreements of the parties contained in Article VIII with respect to Tax matters and any indemnity obligation of Seller for any Seller Indemnified Taxes shall terminate no earlier than ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the assessment or collection of Tax liabilities (giving effect to any extensions, waivers, and mitigation thereof); provided, further, that any claim made by Purchaser with respect to such Tax matters within such time period shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved.

Section 11.2 Indemnity by Seller. From and after the Closing, and subject to this Article XI, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (i) the Retained Liabilities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes), (ii) the Pre-Closing Restructuring (including any breach by Seller of any of the Restructuring Covenants) or any breach by Seller of any its covenants or agreements in this Agreement to be performed, in whole or in part, at or after the Closing, (iii) any Seller Indemnified Taxes, except to the extent that such Taxes referenced in this clause (iii) were actually taken into account as a liability in Closing Indebtedness Amount or Working Capital Adjustment Amount (in each case as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7), (iv) fifty percent (50%) of any final settlement amounts or judgments paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with items 7, 8 and 9 on Section 3.5 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (v) fifty percent (50%) of any amounts paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to the Specified Lease to the extent such amounts are not otherwise recovered pursuant to a sublease arrangement. “Specified Lease” shall be defined as set forth on Section 11.2 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

Section 11.3 Indemnity by Purchaser. From and after the Closing, and subject to this Article XI, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless any Seller Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (i) the Business Liabilities (excluding Taxes) or (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement to be performed, in whole or in part, at or after the Closing.

Section 11.4 Limitation on Indemnity. Purchaser and Seller agree, for themselves and on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees, respectively:

(a) The amount of any and all Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 shall be determined net of (i) any amounts recovered by an Indemnified Party under insurance policies or any other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses, in each case, net of costs of collection and any increase to premiums resulting from making any claim thereunder and (ii) an amount equal to any net Tax benefit actually realized by the applicable Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates, including, in the case of Purchaser, the Transferred Entities) as of the time

-115-

that the indemnity payment is made as a result of the incurrence of such Loss with respect to the taxable period during which such Loss is incurred, determined after taking into account any Tax detriment arising from indemnification hereunder and treating the applicable Tax item as the last item to be used. In any case where an Indemnified Party so recovers, under insurance policies or from any other collateral source, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was indemnified pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable, not already taken into account pursuant to this Section 11.4(a), such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the applicable Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (A) any amount previously so paid to such Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such matter and (B) any amount expended by the applicable Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(b) Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 or otherwise under this Agreement for any Loss to the extent that such matter is solely attributable to any breach by the other party of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 or otherwise under this Agreement for any Loss to the extent that such matter is solely attributable to any breach by Seller of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 for any Loss to the extent that the liability underlying such Loss is included in the calculation of Working Capital for purposes of determining the Final Purchase Price. Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 or otherwise under this Agreement for any Loss to the extent relating to the amount, sufficiency, or usability in any Post-Closing Tax Period of any net operating loss, capital loss, Tax basis or other Tax asset or Tax attribute that, in each case, were generated in or arose in a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this limitation shall not apply to any Taxes paid or payable for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(c) Neither Purchaser Indemnitees nor the Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover for the same Loss more than once under this Article XI or otherwise under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement even if a claim for indemnification or otherwise in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one covenant, agreement or representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 11.5 Notification of Claims. Purchaser and Seller agree, for themselves and on behalf of Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees, respectively:

(a) A Person that is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article XI (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article XI, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim (to the extent known or reasonably ascertainable); provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. The parties agree that (i) notices for claims must be delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period specified in Section 11.1 and (ii) any claims for indemnification for which notice is not delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived; provided that if, prior to the expiration of

-116-

the applicable survival period, an Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the requirements of this Section 11.5 of a claim for indemnification, such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Section 11.5 notwithstanding the expiration of the applicable survival period.

(b) Upon receipt of notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11.5 in respect of a pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party (such claim or demand being a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim irrevocably committing to be responsible for any loss of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, with its own counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) and at its own expense; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11.5(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, and if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, shall cease to defend and control such Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim includes any criminal charges against any Indemnified Party, (ii) the Third Party Claim involves any injunctive relief or equitable remedy against any Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them or (v) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to actively pursue the defense of such Third Party Claim in good faith.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not or is not entitled to assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 11.5(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense, and any costs and expenses associated with such defense (including reasonable attorney’s and accountant’s fees) shall be indemnifiable Losses hereunder, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The parties shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim, and the party that is in control of the defense of such claim pursuant to the terms hereof shall keep the other party reasonably informed of the progress and material developments of such defense. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided that (A) such settlement or judgment does not involve any equitable relief, other non-monetary relief, or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts in such settlement or judgment and (C) such settlement or judgment includes a complete and unconditional release of any Indemnified Party affected by such Third Party Claim.

-117-

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 11.5 shall not apply with respect to any Third Party Claims that are Tax Proceedings (which are instead governed by Section 8.5).

Section 11.6 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 2.5, Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 10.3 and Section 12.11, the parties hereby agree that, other than in the case of Fraud, following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of a party for any Liabilities or Losses (including any Liabilities or Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that each party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby shall be the applicable indemnification rights set forth in this Article XI. In furtherance of the foregoing and subject to Section 2.5, Section 10.3 and Section 12.11, other than in the case of Fraud, (a) Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each of its controlled Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities), or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of them, and each of their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives, from and after the Closing Date, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (including claims for contribution under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any other Environmental Law) any Purchaser Indemnitee may have against Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives and (b) Seller, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (excluding the Transferred Entities), or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of them, and each of their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives, from and after the Closing Date, any and all rights, claims and causes of action any Seller Indemnitee may have against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, in the case of each of clause (a) and clause (b), in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each of its controlled Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities), or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of them, and each of their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives any right of rescission it may otherwise have or to which it may become entitled.

Section 11.7 Tax Treatment.

Section 12.3 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, and all proceedings (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of the parties in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof, shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such dispute, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such dispute, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County, in the event any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such court, (iv) waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (v) agrees that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such Action, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County. Each party agrees that service of process upon such party in any such Action shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 12.7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement agrees that (i) it will not bring or support any person in any action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any of the Debt Financing Source Parties in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, in any forum other than the federal and New York state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York; and (ii) except as specifically set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters, all claims or causes of action (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any of the Debt Financing Source Parties in any way relating to the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing shall (A) restrict the

-120-

rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates to bring any claim or cause of action against Purchaser or its Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Debt Financing Source Parties), including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) to limit or otherwise restrict Purchaser from fully enforcing its rights, and the obligations of the Debt Financing Source Parties under, the Debt Commitment Letters and the definitive agreements related thereto.

NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT OR RELATED INSTRUMENTS (INCLUDING THE DEBT FINANCING). NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS Section 12.3. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS Section 12.3 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

Section 12.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party to this Agreement may directly or indirectly assign, in whole or from time to time in part, any or all of its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without

-122-

the express prior written consent of each other party to this Agreement, except that (a) Seller may transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Seller, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve Seller of any of its obligations or Liabilities hereunder and the Liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Agreement following such assignment shall not exceed the amount of its Liabilities had no such assignment occurred, and (b) Purchaser (i) may transfer or assign, its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to any Affiliate of Purchaser, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations or Liabilities hereunder and the Liabilities of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement following such assignment shall not exceed the amount of its Liabilities had no such assignment occurred or (ii) may assign its rights (but not its obligations) hereunder as collateral to any Debt Financing Source or any agent or trustee for the Debt Financing Sources in connection with the Debt Financing. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 12.8 shall be void.

Section 12.9 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought. Any party to this Agreement may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the other party to this Agreement with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other party to this Agreement to be performed or complied with. The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Section 10.3 (Effect of Termination), Section 12.3 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 12.5 (No Third-Party Beneficiaries), Section 12.8 (Successors and Assigns), this Section 12.9, Section 12.11 (Specific Performance) and Section 12.13 (Non-Recourse) (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of such Sections) may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in any manner that is adverse in any respect to any Debt Financing Source Party without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

Section 12.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 12.11 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, subject to Section 12.11(b), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto and the third party beneficiaries of this

-123-

Agreement (but only with respect to the provisions of this Agreement to which such Person is a third party beneficiary) seeking to enforce this Agreement against such nonperforming party under this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in Law or in equity, but subject to the limitation in Section 10.3. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose, and irrevocably waives its right to object to, the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party hereto seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree that Seller shall be entitled to specific performance against Purchaser of Purchaser’s obligations under Section 6.18, but subject to the limitations in Section 10.3.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Closing, Seller shall only be entitled to specific performance to cause Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to effect the Closing in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, if (A) all conditions in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of such conditions), (B) Purchaser fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing would have been required to occur pursuant to Section 2.3, (C) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or Purchaser has received irrevocable written confirmation that, if the Equity Financing is funded, the Debt Financing will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing, (D) Seller has irrevocably notified Purchaser in writing that all of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.3 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of such conditions) have been satisfied or waived by Seller, as the case may be (or Seller has irrevocably confirmed to Purchaser in writing that any such conditions will be waived at Closing), (E) Seller is (and at all times following delivery of such irrevocable written notice) ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing, and (F) Purchaser failed to consummate the Closing within four (4) Business Days following the later of (x) the date on which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3 and (y) the date that Seller delivers the irrevocable written notice contemplated by clause (D) above.

Section 12.12 No Admission. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission by Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, in any Action by or on behalf of a third party, that Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or that such third party or any of its Affiliates, is or is not in breach or violation of, or in default in, the performance or observance of any term or provisions of any Contract.

Section 12.13 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter, any related fee letters or the Sponsor Guaranty, or any other Ancillary Agreement, (i) this Agreement may be enforced only against, and any Action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought only against, the entities

-124-

that are expressly named as parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party and (ii) with respect to each party, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, direct or indirect general or limited partners, managers, shareholder, equityholder, attorney, advisor, lender, agent, representative, successor, beneficiary, heir, assignee or Affiliate of such named party (the “Related Parties”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or tort, at Law or in equity or otherwise, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of such named party or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 12.13 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Related Parties and each such Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 12.13. No Debt Financing Source Party shall have any liability or obligation to Seller, the Transferred Entities and their Affiliates and any of the Seller’s, any Transferred Entity’s or any of their Affiliates’ respective current, former or future officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, stockholders, limited partners, managers, members or partners with respect to any claim or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise) relating to (a) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, (b) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (c) any breach or violation of this Agreement and (d) any failure of the transactions contemplated hereunder to be consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.13 does not limit or affect any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have against the Debt Financing Source Parties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letters.

Section 12.14 Privilege. Purchaser hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its controlled Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities after the Closing), that, following the Closing, Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“Seller Group’s Counsel”) may serve as counsel to the Seller Group and their Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the negotiation, performance or subject matter hereof or thereof, or the Sale, notwithstanding any representation by Seller Group’s Counsel prior to the Closing Date of the Transferred Entities. Purchaser hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its controlled Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities after the Closing), (i) to waive any claim they have or may have that Seller Group’s Counsel has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser or any of its controlled Affiliates (including any Transferred Entity), on the one hand, and the Seller Group or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, Seller Group’s Counsel may represent the Seller Group and/or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Purchaser or any of its controlled Affiliates (including any Transferred Entity) and even though Seller Group’s Counsel may have represented any Transferred Entity in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities after the Closing) also further agree that, as to all communications to or from Seller Group’s Counsel, on the one hand, and any or all of the Transferred Entities, the Seller Group or their Affiliates and their respective Representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the negotiation, performance or subject matter hereof or thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs and will belong solely to the Seller Group and will not

-125-

pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or its controlled Affiliates (including any Transferred Entity after the Closing). Without limitation of the foregoing, none of Purchaser or any of its controlled Affiliates (including any Transferred Entity after the Closing) may access, use or rely upon any communications described in the immediately preceding sentence in any dispute against or involving the Seller Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser or any of its controlled Affiliates (including any Transferred Entity), on the one hand, and a third party other than (and not an Affiliate of) a party to this Agreement, on the other hand, a Transferred Entity may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Seller Group’s Counsel to such third party; provided, however, that such Transferred Entity may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that it has consulted with independent counsel of its own choosing with respect to the meaning and effect of this Section 12.14. Seller Group’s Counsel is an express intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 12.14, and may enforce the same. This Section 12.14 will survive the Closing and will remain in effect indefinitely.

Section 12.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, pdf or other electronic method (including DocuSign) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
