The aggregate liability of Prometheus in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) will not exceed $16,000,000.00 (the “ Cap ”) ( provided that, unless the R&W Policy is obtained, the Cap shall be reduced to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate liability of Prometheus pursuant to Section 8.2(a) with respect to Healthcare Representations, together with the aggregate liability of Prometheus with respect to all other claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a), not to exceed $20,000,000.00), which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnitees for any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations contained in Article 2 or Article 4, and other than in respect Healthcare Representations which shall be governed by Section 8.4(a)(ii) below). The Indemnity Basket Limitations and the Cap will not apply to the obligations of Prometheus to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees in connection with an inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation contained in Article 2 or Article 4 or any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(c).

The aggregate liability of Prometheus in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) with respect to Healthcare Representations, together with the aggregate liability of Prometheus with respect to all other claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a), will not exceed $20,000,000 (the “ Healthcare Cap ”), which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnitees for any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) solely in respect of Healthcare Representations.

(c)      For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under this Article 8, the amount of such Losses will be determined net of all related reserves properly accrued and directly related to the specific matter subject to indemnification on the Closing Balance Sheet or reflected in the final Closing Working Capital. The amount of a Loss arising out of any item included as a Current Liability in the calculation of Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.4 shall be calculated net of any amount so included.

(d)      With respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement: ( i ) all Losses shall be net of any Eligible Insurance Proceeds as well as any Tax benefit actually realized by any Target Company, Buyer or any of its respective Affiliates from such Losses as a result of paying or sustaining such Losses in the taxable year of such Loss or the immediately succeeding taxable year (determined by comparing the Taxes that were actually paid taking into account any deductions attributable to such Loss in such taxable year with those Taxes that would have been payable in the absence of such deductions in such taxable year, and assuming that such deductions are the last item of deduction on the applicable Tax Return); ( i i ) in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits, diminution in value or similar items; provided that an Indemnified Person may assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 8 for any Losses for consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits, diminution in value or similar items if such Indemnified Person is required by a Governmental Order to pay such damages to a third party, and ( i ii ) the parties shall report and cause to be reported any indemnification payment under Section 8.2 in respect of Losses of the Company and indirectly borne by any Buyer Indemnitee in the manner set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.2.

If the Indemnifying Party so requests within 180 days after receipt of a Notice of Insurance, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect (or cause the applicable Target Company to collect) the maximum amount of insurance proceeds thereunder, in which event all such proceeds actually received (net any deductibles, increases in premiums, and other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party or the Target Company in seeking such collection), shall be considered “ Eligible Insurance Proceeds ”. Any amount payable by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 8 shall be paid promptly and payment shall not be delayed pending any determination of Eligible Insurance Proceeds. In any case where an Indemnified Party, or any Target Company, recovers from a third party any Eligible Insurance Proceeds or any other amount in respect of any Losses for which an Indemnifying Party has actually reimbursed such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay (or the parties shall cause the applicable Target Company to pay) over to the Indemnifying Party such Eligible Insurance Proceeds or the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of ( i ) any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party (or applicable Target Company) to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim and ( ii ) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party (or Target Companies) in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(g)      For purposes of determining the existence or amount of any Losses in respect of the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct as of any particular date, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard or qualification contained in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded (other than in instances where the context dictates otherwise); provide d that such standard or qualification shall not be disregarded for the purposes of the initial determination of whether there was a failure of such representation or warranty to be true and correct.

Section 8.5      Notification of Claims; Third Party Claims .

(a)      A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article 8, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 8 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The parties agree that ( i ) in this Article 8 they intend to shorten (in the case of the limited survival periods specified in Section 8.1) the applicable statute of limitations period with respect to certain claims, ( ii ) notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 8.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and ( iii ) any claims for indemnification for which notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this Section 8.5 shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived.

(b)      Upon receipt of notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.5 in respect of a pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (such claim or demand being a “ Third Party Claim ” and including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party), the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge ( i ) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, ( ii ) provides for the payment of money as sole relief for the claimant, ( iii ) the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement and ( iv ) subject to the making of such payment, results in the full and general release of such Indemnified Person from all liabilities arising from or relating to the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In any event, the parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Article 8 and the records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with respect to such defense.

(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8 (including Sections 8.2 and Section 8.3), no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article 8 for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)      In the event any Indemnifying Party receives notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.5 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within twenty Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article 8. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party.

(e)      If the R&W Policy is obtained, the insurer under the R&W Policy and its agents and advisors shall be permitted to associate effectively with the parties hereto in the defense of any matter which might reasonably constitute a loss under the R&W Policy).

Section 10.5      Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns; provided that except as permitted below, this Agreement shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by any party without the prior written consent of the other party.

Section 10.7      Severability . If any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection, of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. Upon any such 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 an acceptable manner in order that the Contemplated Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

The Schedules are arranged in sections corresponding to the sections contained in this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Schedules as an exception to a particular covenant, agreement, representation or warranty will be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other covenants, agreements, representations and warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such other covenants, representations, agreements or warranties is reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the presence or absence of a specific cross-reference thereto.

Section 10.9      Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

The parties hereby waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and the posting of any bond or other security in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing (a) in no event shall the Company (unless and until the consummation of any assignment of the Debt Commitment Letter substantially concurrently with the Closing by the Buyer to the Company in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter) or Prometheus be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of the Debt Commitment Letter directly against the Debt Financing Sources or any Debt Financing Source Related Party and ( b ) it is acknowledged and agreed that Prometheus and the Company shall be entitled to specific performance to cause the Buyer to draw down the full proceeds of the amounts committed to be funded under the Equity Commitment Letters pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof .

Section 10.11      Prometheus Counsel . Recognizing that Debevoise & Plimpton LLP has acted as legal counsel to Prometheus and its Subsidiaries prior to date hereof, and that Debevoise & Plimpton LLP intends to act as legal counsel to Prometheus and certain of its Subsidiaries after the Closing, each of the Buyer and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates and the Target Companies to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Debevoise & Plimpton LLP representing Prometheus or its Subsidiaries (excluding the Target Companies) after the Closing as such representation may relate to the Buyer and the Target Companies or the Contemplated Transactions. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Prometheus and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, on the one hand, and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Contemplated Transactions shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Prometheus and its Subsidiaries, other than the Target Companies (and shall not belong to the Target Companies). Accordingly, the Target Companies shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP relating to such engagement from and after the Closing.

This Section 10.11 will be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 10.11 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP.

Section 10.12      No Recourse Against Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Company or Prometheus nor any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members or stockholders shall assert any claim against any Debt Financing Source or Debt Financing Source Related Party with respect to matters based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby , or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

services

Each Party acknowledges that the other Party and its Affiliates are not professional service providers of the Transition Services.

(b)     Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a) , a Provider may, from time to time: ( i ) reasonably supplement, modify, upgrade, substitute or otherwise alter (“ Change ”) any Transition Service, including taking any physical or information security measures with respect to such Transition Service, in a manner that does not adversely affect in any material respect (or materially delay) the quality or availability of such Transition Service only upon reasonable advance written notice (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without consent required from Recipient) and only where ( A ) Provider is applying such Change to the performance of the same service for itself and its Subsidiaries (if applicable), and ( B ) such Change would not increase the cost to Recipient for such Transition Services; provided that to the extent that any such Change is reasonably likely to modify, substitute or otherwise alter the receipt or use of such Transition Service, Provider shall provide Recipient with reasonable advance written notice of the implementation of the Change to the extent practicable under the circumstances. If a Change is required by applicable Legal Requirement, Provider may make any and all changes to the Transition Service necessary to comply with applicable Legal Requirement and any changes thereto; provided , further , that Provider shall provide Recipient such reasonable advance written notice as may be practicable of the implementation of any such Change.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Provider cancels or withholds any Transition Service according to this Section 3.1(c) , the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide Recipient with alternative Transition Services that substitute for such cancelled or withheld Transition Services, which shall be performed in accordance with this Section 3.1 .
