CONTRIBUTION AND RECEIPT

Section 2.01         Contribution. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, the Contributors shall contribute to the Beneficiary, and the Beneficiary shall accept from the Contributors, the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 2.02 (the “ Transaction ”).

Section 2.02         Contribution Amount.

(a)                 The aggregate consideration deliverable to the Contributors for the contribution of the Shares shall consist of: (i) Beneficiary Shares worth Seven Million Euros (€7,000,000) (the “ Initial Contribution Amount ”) and if delivered (ii) an additional number of Beneficiary Shares worth One Million Eight Hundred Eighteen Thousand Eighty Eight Euros (€1,818,088) deliverable on or before Additional Contribution Payment Deadline (the “ Additional Contribution Amount ”; the Initial Contribution Amount, together with the Additional Consideration Amount, if issued, the “ Contribution Amount ”); provided, however , that the Beneficiary shall only be obligated to deliver the Additional Contribution Amount if Scomedica’s Net Revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012 equals or exceeds Eight Million Euros (€8,000,000), in which case the Additional Contribution Amount shall become deliverable on the Additional Contribution Payment Deadline. The Contribution Amount shall be delivered by the Beneficiary in newly issued, unregistered shares of common stock of Beneficiary (“ Beneficiary Shares ”), valued at the volume-weighted average price of Beneficiary’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding (i) for the Initial Contribution Amount , the Closing , (ii) for the Additional Contribution Amount, the Additional Contribution Payment Deadline, or if earlier, the date of issuance of the Beneficiary Shares representing the Additional Contribution Amount, and (iii) for the reimbursement and indemnification payments provided for in Section 7.03 and Section 9.07 , (x) the Closing, to the extent such payments are made within a period of six (6) months as from the Closing or (y) the date such reimbursement or indemnification payments are due and payable to the extent such payments are made following the aforementioned six (6) month period (each the “Applicable Trading Price ”). The number of Beneficiary Shares issuable hereunder shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number of shares. For further clarity, the Applicable Trading Price shall equal the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (x) the average of the high and low trading prices per share of Beneficiary’s common stock for each of the relevant trading days by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares traded on such market on such trading day, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares traded on such market during the applicable ten (10) trading day period. For illustrative purposes only, the following example provides the calculation of the volume-weighted average price of Beneficiary’s common stock with a result of US$2.88 for the ten (10) trading days listed below:

(b)                For purpose of determining the number of Beneficiary Shares issuable hereunder, the Applicable Trading Price shall be converted from US dollars into Euro using the average Dollar:Euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on each of the ten (10) trading days referenced in Section 2.02(a) above.

(c)                 On the Closing Date, the Beneficiary shall issue to the Contributors the number of Beneficiary Shares equal to (i) the Initial Contribution Amount, divided by (ii) the Applicable Trading Price, provided that the Escrow Shares shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent as described in Section 2.03 below.

(d)                If the condition precedent to payment of the Additional Contribution Amount set forth in Section 2.02(a) has been satisfied, then on or before the Additional Contribution Payment Deadline, the Beneficiary shall issue to the Contributors, pro rata in accordance with their former holdings of Shares, the number of Beneficiary Shares equal to (i) the Additional Contribution Amount divided by (ii) the Applicable Trading Price.

(e)                 In no instance, however, will Beneficiary be obligated to issue to Contributors, or the Contributors to accept from Beneficiary, a number of shares of common stock in excess of 19.99% of the total Beneficiary common stock issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. Any portion of the Contribution Amount that cannot be paid in Beneficiary Shares due to the foregoing limit shall instead be paid in cash, except if the Parties subsequently agree differently.

(f)                 The Beneficiary Shares shall also be entitled to and benefit from certain registration rights that are described in the Registration Rights and Transfer Restriction Agreement (“ Registration Rights Agreement ”) attached hereto as Exhibit C . Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Beneficiary will prepare and file a resale registration statement on Form S-3 ( Form S-3 ”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) within twenty (20) Business Days of the Closing Date and Beneficiary will use its best efforts to have the Form S-3 registration statement declared effective within forty (40) Business Days of the Closing Date. In case of review of the Form S-3 registration statement by the SEC, the forty (40) Business Day period above will be extended to sixty (60) Business Days.

(g)                The Registration Rights Agreement also contains a sale plan that restricts the sale by any of the Contributors of the Beneficiary Shares to certain maximum daily volumes as described therein.

Section 2.03         Escrow of Shares. On the Closing Date, Beneficiary shall deliver to a mutually agreed third party escrow agent (the “ Escrow Agent ”) Beneficiary Shares otherwise issuable to the Warrantors, on a pro rata basis based on the Warrantors’ relative holdings of Shares, equal to fifteen per cent (15%) of the Initial Contribution Amount to secure the Warrantors’ indemnity obligations in respect of any breaches of the Contributors’ or the Companies’ representations, warranties and covenants (the “ Escrow Shares ”) for a period of one year from the Closing Date (the “ Escrow Period ”). At any time during the Escrow Period, a Majority of the Warrantors may require all, but not less than all, of the Escrow Shares to be sold and replaced in escrow, with the cash equivalent to 15% of the value of the Initial Contribution Amount as of the Closing Date (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.05 ); provided that if the cash value of the Escrow Shares upon sale is less than 15% of the value of the Initial Contribution Amount, then the Warrantors shall, on a pro rata basis, contribute an additional amount of cash within 10 Business Days such that the escrow corpus equals 15% of the value of the Initial Contribution Amount (as so adjusted). After the Escrow Period terminates, the Warrantors shall receive the Escrow Shares (or cash in lieu thereof, if the Escrow Shares have been sold at the direction of the Majority of the Warrantors), minus any amounts paid or potentially payable to the Beneficiary Indemnitees with respect to any pending claims for indemnification timely asserted in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.04         Transactions to be Effected at the Closing.

(a)                 At the Closing, the Beneficiary shall deliver to the Contributors:

(i)                  the Initial Contribution Amount in shares of unregistered common stock of Beneficiary, minus the Escrow Shares that will be placed in escrow;

(ii)                documentary evidence of the wire transfer of the One Hundred Euros (€100) amount to be paid in cash at Closing; and

(iii)              the Transaction Documents and all other agreements, documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by Beneficiary at or prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 8.03 of this Agreement.

(b)                At the Closing, Contributors shall deliver to Beneficiary:

(i)                  share transfer register and shareholder accounts of the Companies evidencing title to the Shares and to Scomedica Common Stock, free and clear of all Encumbrances, updated with any transfers having occurred prior to the Transaction and any evidence supporting such transfers; and

(ii)                the Transaction Documents and all other agreements, documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by Contributors at or prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 8.02 of this Agreement.

Section 2.05         Initial Contribution Amount Adjustment.

(a) Closing Adjustment .

(i) At least three Business Days before the Closing, the Agent shall, on behalf of the Contributors, prepare and deliver to Beneficiary a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “ Estimated Closing Working Capital ”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of Finesco and Scomedica as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “ Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement ”), and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officers of Finesco and Scomedica that the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with French GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Target Working Capital Amount, as shown on Exhibit D attached hereto.

(ii) The “ Closing Adjustment ” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital compared to a range of €1,100,000 to €1,300,000 target working capital (the “ Target Working Capital ”) as follows. The calculation of the Target Working Capital is set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto. If the Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds €1,300,000, the Closing Adjustment will be a positive number equal to Estimated Closing Working Capital minus €1,300,000 and the Initial Contribution Amount shall be increased by the amount of the Closing Adjustment. If the Estimated Closing Working Capital is lower than €1,100,000, the Closing Adjustment will be a negative number equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital minus €1,100,000 and the Initial Contribution Amount shall be reduced by the amount of the Closing Adjustment. If the Estimated Closing Working Capital is an amount between €1,100,000 and €1,300,000, the Closing Adjustment will be equal to €0. By way of example only, if the Closing Adjustment amount is €100,000, then the Initial Contribution Amount will equal €7,100,000; if the Closing Adjustment amount is negative €100,000, then the Initial Contribution Amount will equal €6,900,000.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment .

(i) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, Beneficiary shall prepare and deliver to the Agent a statement setting forth its good faith calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall contain an unaudited balance sheet of the Companies as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Closing Working Capital (the “ Closing Working Capital Statement ”), Beneficiary’s good faith calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment (as defined below), and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Beneficiary that the Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with French GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Target Working Capital Amount, as shown on Exhibit D attached hereto. The “ Final Working Capital Adjustment ” shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) compared to the Target Working Capital range as follows. If the Closing Working Capital exceeds €1,300,000, the Final Working Capital Adjustment will be a positive number equal to the Closing Working Capital minus €1,300,000. If the Closing Working Capital is lower than €1,100,000, the Final Working Capital Adjustment will be a negative number equal to the Closing Working Capital minus €1,100,000. If the Closing Working Capital is an amount between €1,100,000 and €1,300,000, the Final Working Capital Adjustment will be equal to €0.

(ii) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Final Working Capital Adjustment minus the Closing Adjustment (the “ Post-Closing Adjustment ”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Beneficiary shall issue to the Contributors, pro rata in accordance with their former holdings of Shares immediately prior to the Closing, additional newly-issued shares of Beneficiary’s unregistered common stock (valued as of the Closing Date) equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, each Contributor shall deliver to Beneficiary for cancellation a number of Beneficiary Shares (valued as of the Closing Date) equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment multiplied by the percentage of the Shares held by such Contributor as of the Closing, and Beneficiary and the Majority of the Warrantors shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release from the escrow and deliver to Warrantors, pro rata in accordance with their respective interests, a number of Escrow Shares such that, after such release, the value of the remaining Escrow Shares (valuing the Escrow Shares as of the Closing Date) equals fifteen percent (15%) of the adjusted Initial Contribution Amount.

(c) Examination and Review .

(i) Examination . After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, the Agent shall have 30 days (the “ Review Period ”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement and proposed Final Working Capital Adjustment. During the Review Period, Beneficiary shall and shall cause the Companies to afford Agent and its accountants and agents reasonable access to the books and records of the Companies and work papers prepared by or on behalf of Beneficiary and/or Beneficiary's Accountants, to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement or the proposed Final Working Capital Adjustment and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Beneficiary's possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement and the proposed Final Working Capital Adjustment as the Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing same and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Beneficiary or the Companies.

(ii) Objection . On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Agent may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the proposed Final Working Capital Adjustment by delivering to Beneficiary a written statement setting forth the Agent’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for disagreement therewith (the “ Statement of Objections ”). If the Agent fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement, the proposed Final Working Capital Adjustment and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by all Contributors. If the Agent delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Beneficiary and the Agent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “ Resolution Period ”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Beneficiary and the Agent, shall be final and binding on all parties.

The Independent Accountants, acting as experts, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants .

The maximum aggregate indemnification obligation of the Warrantors under Article IX or Article VII shall be limited to thirty percent (30%) of the Contribution Amount other than with respect to claims for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in the Beneficiary Basket Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary shall not have the right to recover Losses under this Article IX or Article VII relating to any individual claim or series of related claims based on a similar set of operative facts, and such Losses shall not apply to the Basket, unless such claim or series of related claims is greater than €15,000 (the “ De Minimis Amount ”), in which case the Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover for all such Losses (or all such Losses shall be applied against the Basket, as applicable) in connection with such claim or series of related claims including the De Minimis Amount.

(b)                The Beneficiary shall not be liable to the Contributor Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.04(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Sections 5.01 and 5.04 (the “ Contributor Basket Exclusions ”), or under Section 9.04(b) with respect to covenants to be performed prior to the Closing, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under such sections (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Contributor Basket Exclusions) exceeds €150,000 (the “ Basket ”), in which event the Beneficiary shall be required to pay or be liable only for those Losses exceeding €150,000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contributors shall not have the right to recover Losses under this Article IX relating to any individual claim or series of related claims based on a similar set of operative facts, and such Losses shall not apply to the Basket, unless such claim or series of related claims is greater than the De Minimis Amount, in which case the Contributors shall be entitled to recover for all such Losses (or all such Losses shall be applied against the Basket, as applicable) in connection with such claim or series of related claims including the De Minimis Amount.

All Indemnified Parties shall use good faith reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate any Losses potentially subject to indemnification hereunder and to recover any such Losses from any available insurance carrier or other third party potentially liable therefor . No party shall have any indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to any Loss to the extent arising from the enactment or amendment of any Laws entering in force after the Closing.

An Indemnifying Party shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure any matter giving rise to a potential claim for indemnification hereunder. An Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of any Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses to which such indemnification relates to the extent of any payment made in connection therewith. In any case, any given Loss will be indemnified only once and, as a consequence, shall not lead to several indemnifications by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party and/or any of its Affiliates.

Section 9.06         Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article IX is referred to as the “ Indemnified Party ”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX is referred to as the “ Indemnifying Party ”.

(a)                 Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “ Third Party Claim ”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall only relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations to the extent of any prejudice resulting therefrom. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is the Contributor and/or Warrantors, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (i) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) seeks damages in excess of the overall indemnification limits set forth in Section 9.05(a) (and after deducting the amounts of any claims previously offset against this cap), or (iii) alleges criminal violations by the Companies. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.06(b) , it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to defend or direct the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.06(a) or, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, then, in any such case, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.06(b) , pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Warrantors, Contributors and Beneficiary shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.06 ) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)                Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as provided in this Section 9.06(b) . If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, for the release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim at its expense and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.06(a) , it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)                 Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “ Direct Claim ”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall only relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations to the extent of any prejudice resulting therefrom. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to Scomedica's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)                Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

(e)                 Tax Claims . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of Scomedica (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 4.21 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VII ) shall be governed exclusively by Article VII , subject to Section 9.05 hereof.

Section 9.07         Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party, is finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX , the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days first by (i) in the case of Warrantors, withdrawal of a number of Escrow Shares with a value that is equal to the amount of such Loss (valuing the Escrow Shares at the Applicable Trading Price determined in accordance with Section 2.02(a) ), or at the sole discretion of the Warrantors, by payment of cash (from within or without the Escrow Account) in an amount equal to the amount of such Loss and, (ii) to the extent applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if (in the case of Warrantors) the value of the Escrow Shares or any payment pursuant to subclause (i) is insufficient to satisfy the indemnification obligations hereunder. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding. For purpose of determining the value of any Escrow Shares surrendered in satisfaction of any indemnifiable Loss hereunder incurred in a currency other than US Dollars, the amount of such Loss shall be converted into US Dollars using the applicable exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the Business Day preceding the date of such surrender.

Section 9.08         Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Contribution Amount for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.09         Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 6.09(d) and Section 11.12 , the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be as set forth in this Article IX . In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX . Nothing in this Section 9.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any injunctive remedies to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Person's criminal misconduct.
