2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE-BASED

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(FOR EMPLOYEES)

AgreementNumber

     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT, is dated as of [dateandyear] (the “Grant Date”) by and
between Osteotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [Name], an employee of the
Company or an employee of a subsidiary of the Company (the “Employee”) located at [Address],
pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

     For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:

	1.	 	Grant of Stock Units.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan, the Company hereby
grants to the Employee restricted stock units (as adjusted in accordance with the last sentence of
this paragraph, the “Stock Units”) covering [Units] shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common
stock (the “Common Stock”). Each Stock Unit represents one share of Common Stock. The number of
restricted stock units that will be issued to the Employee may be increased or decreased in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule A hereto.

	2.	 	Vesting Schedule.

(a) Subject to the limitations contained herein and in the Plan, the Stock Units shall vest,
and Shares shall be issued in accordance with Section 3 below, to the extent that both the
“Performance Conditions” (as defined below) and the “Service Requirement” (as defined below)
are satisfied.

(i) Performance Conditions. The Performance Conditions that must be
satisfied as a condition to the vesting of the Stock Units are set forth on Schedule
A attached hereto (the “Performance Conditions”).

(ii) Service Requirement. If the Employee has not ceased being an employee
of the Company or its subsidiaries prior to the close of business on the third
anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Service Requirement”), the Stock Units for which
the Employee has satisfied the Performance Conditions shall become fully vested on
that date. To the extent that the Performance Conditions and Service Requirement
are achieved, the appropriate number of Shares will be issued in accordance with
Section 3 below on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. Additional vesting may
apply under the circumstances specified in Section 4(c).

1

 

     (b) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, if the Employee ceases to be employed
by the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason including as a result of the Employee’s death or
disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the achievement of the
Performance Conditions and the Service Requirement, all Stock Units granted hereunder shall be
forfeited by, and no further rights shall accrue to, the Employee.

	3.	 	Benefit Upon Vesting.

     Upon the vesting of the Stock Units, the Employee shall be entitled to receive, and the
Company shall issue to the Employee, a number of Shares equal to the number of Stock Units that
have vested on the third anniversary of the Grant Date subject to Section 7 below.

	4.	 	Adjustment of Shares.

     (a) The number of shares issuable upon vesting of the Stock Units shall be adjusted
proportionately in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be provided under the Stock Units upon the occurrence of a stock split or reverse stock
split of the Common Stock or a dividend payable to all holders of the Common Stock in shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Plan.

     (b) In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company all unvested Stock Units shall
terminate.

     (c) In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the Stock Units shall be
subject to the definitive agreement governing the Change of Control. Such agreement, without the
Employee’s consent, may provide for:

          (i) The continuation of the Stock Units (but in each case adjusted to reflect the transaction
terms) by the Company if the Company is the surviving corporation;

          (ii) The assumption, substitution or replacement of the Stock Units with equivalent awards by
the surviving corporation or its parent (but in each case adjusted to reflect the transaction
terms);

          (iii) Accelerated vesting of, and lapse of restrictions applicable to, the Stock Units; or

          (iv) The settlement of the Stock Units (including the termination thereof) in cash.

Except for adjustments to reflect the transaction terms as referenced above or, to the extent the
Stock Units are subject to accelerated vesting or lapse of restrictions approved by the Board of
Directors or the Compensation Committee upon specific events or conditions (and then only to the
extent such acceleration benefits are reflected in the transaction agreement, this Agreement or
another written agreement between the Employee and the Company), any Stock Units that are assumed,
substituted, replaced with equivalent awards or continued shall continue following the

2

 

transaction to be subject to the same vesting or other restrictions that applied to the original
Stock Units.

	5.	 	Restrictions.

     Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or applicable law, the Stock Units or
rights granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred until the Stock Units
become vested in accordance with Section 2 and the Shares are issued under Section 3. The period
of time between the Grant Date and the date on which the Stock Units become vested is referred to
herein as the “Restriction Period.”

	6.	 	No Stockholder Rights.

     Stock Units represent hypothetical shares of Common Stock. During the Restriction Period, the
Employee shall not be entitled to any of the rights or benefits generally accorded to stockholders
with respect to the Stock Units.

	7.	 	Taxes.

     (a) The Employee shall be liable for any and all taxes of any nature and whether arising under
U.S., state, local or foreign laws, including withholding taxes, interest or penalties arising out
of this grant, the vesting of Stock Units hereunder, the transfer of Shares or other property in
settlement of the Stock Units, or any subsequent transfer or disposition of the Shares or such
property. In the event that the Company or the Employee’s employer, including any affiliate or
subsidiary qualified to deduct tax at source (the “Employer”), is required to withhold any amount
(including in connection with income tax, employment or payroll taxes, social security
contributions or other similar amounts, with such obligation in aggregate referred to herein as the
“Withholding Obligation”) as a result of any event occurring in connection with the Stock Unit, the
Employee shall make a cash payment in U.S. dollars to the Company as necessary to cover all
applicable Withholding Obligations at or prior to the time the event giving rise to the Withholding
Obligation occurs; provided that (i) the Company has the right to withhold a portion of the Shares
otherwise to be delivered upon vesting of the Stock Units having a Fair Market Value equal to the
amount of Withholding Obligation in accordance with such rules as the Company may from time to time
establish or (ii) the Company may establish alternative procedures to ensure satisfaction of all
applicable Withholding Obligations arising in connection with the Stock Units, including any means
described in Sections 6.4(b) and (c) of the Plan. The Employee will receive a cash refund for any
payment of cash or fraction of a surrendered share not necessary to satisfy the Withholding
Obligations.

     (b) The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for any tax-related item
legally due by Employee is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and that the Company and or
the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any such tax
items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Stock Units, including the vesting of Stock
Units, subsequent payment of Common Stock and/or cash related to such Stock Units or the subsequent
sale or other disposition of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to such Stock Units; and (ii) do
not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this

3

 

grant of Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for such tax items. The
Company may refuse to deliver the benefit described in Section 3 if the Employee fails to comply
with the Employee’s obligations as set forth in this Section 7.

	8.	 	Data Privacy Consent.

     The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer,
in electronic or other form, of the Employee’s personal data as described in this document by and
among, as applicable, the Employer, and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the
exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the
Plan. The Employee understands that the Company, its affiliates, its subsidiaries and the Employer
hold certain personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, name, home
address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other
identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in
the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled,
purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor for the purpose of
implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Employee understands that the Data
may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and
management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Employee’s country or elsewhere
and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the
Employee’s country. The Employee understands that the Employee may request a list with the names
and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the administrator of the Plan
as may be designated from time to time by the Company (the “Plan Administrator”). The Employee
authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or
other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s
participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a
broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Common Stock acquired
under the Plan. If the Employee is a citizen or resident of a country which is a member of the
European Union, the Data will only be shared with third parties that are subject to the EU Privacy
directive as locally implemented, the Safe Harbor framework or other adequate certification. The
Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer
and manage participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that he or she may, at any time,
review Data in order to correct, change or delete inaccurate information, request additional
information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the
Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the Plan
Administrator in writing. The Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect
the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of
refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, the Employee understands that he or she may contact the
Plan Administrator at the Company.

	9.	 	Plan Information.

     The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has access to and is deemed to have received a
copy of the Plan from the Company and agrees to receive stockholder information, including copies
of any annual report, proxy statement and periodic report, from the Company’s website at
http://www.osteotech.com/finreq.htm. The Employee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Plan
prospectus, Plan information and stockholder information are also available upon written or
telephonic request to the Plan Administrator.

	10.	 	Employee Acknowledgments.

     By accepting this grant of Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is
established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended,
suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this
Agreement. The Employee acknowledges that all decisions with respect to future grants, if any,
will be at the sole discretion of the Company. The Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not
create a right to further employment with Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of
Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause and
it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party,
insofar as permitted by law. The Employee agrees that Stock Units, stock unit grants and resulting
benefits are an extraordinary item that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of
any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer and are outside the scope of the Employee’s
employment contract, if any, unless otherwise specifically provided in such employment contract.
Stock Units, stock unit grants and resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected
compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance,
resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards,
pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law. This grant of
Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the
Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. The Employee acknowledges
that the future value of the Shares is unknown, may increase or decrease from the date of grant or
vesting of the Stock Units and cannot be predicted with certainty. In consideration of this grant
of Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of
this grant of Stock Units or diminution in value of this grant of Stock Units resulting from the
Employee’s termination of employment by the Company or the Employer for any reason whatsoever and
whether or not in breach of any applicable laws. Upon the Employee’s termination of employment
(whether or not such termination constitutes a breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to
receive benefits shall be only as set forth in this Agreement and his or her termination of
employment shall be effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and
will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would
not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); and the Board or
Compensation Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no
longer actively employed for purposes of this grant of Stock Units. This entire Section 10 is
subject to any provision to the contrary set forth in an employment contract, if any, between the
Employee and the Company.

	11.	 	Notices.

     All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder shall be deemed
to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument given by personal delivery, air courier or
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to such party at
the address set forth below or such other address as may thereafter be designated in a written
notice from such party to the other party:

     If to the Company, to:

Attention: Chief Financial Officer

Osteotech, Inc.

51 James Way

Eatontown, New Jersey 07724

     If to the Employee, to:

Address provided above

     All such notices, advances and communications shall be deemed to have been delivered and
received (a) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery, (b) in the case of air
courier, on the business day after the date when sent and (c) in the case of mailing, on the third
business day following such mailing.

	12.	 	Miscellaneous.

     (a) The Company shall not be required to treat as the owner of Stock Units, and associated
benefits hereunder, any transferee to whom such Stock Units or benefits shall have been so
transferred in violation of this Agreement.

     (b) The Employee shall take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional
documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more
of the obligations or restrictions imposed on the Employee pursuant to the express provisions of
this Agreement.

     (c) The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Stock Units are issued pursuant to the
Plan and are subject to its terms. No waiver or breach of any condition of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach of condition, whether of like or different
nature. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware. In the event of any
conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan terms and
provisions shall govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the
meanings assigned to them in the Plan. Certain other important terms governing this Agreement are
contained in the Plan. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

6

 

     (d) The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are
determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions
shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

     (e) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof, merging any and all prior agreements.

     (f) To the extent the Company determines that this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A,
but does not conform with the requirements thereof, the Company may at its sole discretion amend or
replace the Agreement to cause the Agreement to comply with Code Section 409A.

     (g) To the extent that the Company in good faith determines that any payment provided for
hereunder (meaning, the vesting and obligation to issue any Shares hereunder) would otherwise
constitute a “deferral of compensation” resulting in additional tax under Code Section 409A and
that the Employee is a “key employee” (in each case as such terms are defined under Code Section
409A), no amounts shall be payable to the Employee pursuant hereto prior to the earliest of (a) the
Employee’s death following the date of Employee’s Termination, or (b) the date that is six months
following the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” with the Company (within the meaning
of Code Section 409A). For these purposes, each payment is hereby designated as a separate payment
and will not collectively be treated as a single payment.

SCHEDULE A

PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE STOCK UNITS AND ADJUSTMENT OF STOCK UNITS

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Fiscal Year 2008
	DEPS Targets
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Lower Bound
	 	90% of Budgeted DEPS
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Middle Bound
	 	100% of Budgeted DEPS
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Upper Bound
	 	160% of Budgeted DEPS

     Vesting Rules and Adjustment of Stock Units. The following rules shall apply in
connection with determining whether i) the number of Stock Units subject to the Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement to which this Schedule A is attached shall be increased or decreased, and ii) the
Performance Conditions have been satisfied with respect to the Stock Units:

	 	1.	 	With respect to fiscal year 2008, the determination of DEPS shall be made by the Board
(or any committee delegated such authority by the Board) promptly after the independent
auditors of the Company have delivered their audit report.
	 
	 	2.	 	No portion of the Stock Units shall satisfy the Performance Condition unless the Lower
Bound DEPS target has been achieved. If the Lower Bound DEPS target is not achieved, the
Stock Units shall immediately terminate.
	 
	 	3.	 	If the Lower Bound DEPS target is achieved, 60% of the Stock Units shall satisfy the
Performance Criteria and the remaining Stock Units shall immediately terminate.
	 
	 	4.	 	If the Middle Bound DEPS target is achieved, 100% of the Stock Units shall satisfy the
Performance Criteria.
	 
	 	5.	 	If the Upper Bound DEPS target is achieved, i) the number of Stock Units subject to the
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to which this Schedule A is attached shall be increased by
50%, and ii) 100% of the Stock Units, as increased by 50%, shall satisfy the Performance
Criteria.
	 
	 	6.	 	In the event that actual DEPS for fiscal year 2008 falls between the Lower Bound and
Middle Bound, the percentage of Stock Units that shall satisfy the Performance Criteria
will be determined based on a straight line interpolation calculation. For example, if
actual DEPS for fiscal year 2008 is exactly between the Lower Bound and Middle Bound DEPS
targets (i.e., 95% of Budgeted DEPS), 80% of the Stock Units shall satisfy the Performance
Criteria.

1

 

	 	7.	 	In the event that actual DEPS for fiscal year 2008 falls between the Middle Bound and
Upper Bound, i) the number of Stock Units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to
which this Schedule A is attached shall be increased based on a straight line interpolation
calculation, and ii) 100% of the Stock Units, as increased, shall satisfy the Performance
Criteria. For example, if actual DEPS for fiscal year 2008 is exactly between the Middle
Bound and Upper Bound DEPS targets (i.e., 130% of Budgeted DEPS), i) the number of Stock
Units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to which this Schedule A is attached
shall be increased by 25%, and ii) 100% of Stock Units, as increased, shall satisfy the
Performance Criteria.

“Budgeted DEPS” means budgeted diluted earning per share as set forth in the Company’s Board
approved budget for fiscal year 2008.

“DEPS” will equal, diluted earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP for the Company’s
fiscal year 2008. As used in the preceding sentence “fiscal year” shall mean the Company’s fiscal
year ending on December 31, 2008, unless the Board shall otherwise adjust the Company’s fiscal
year. The DEPS Targets set forth above will be adjusted by the Board in good faith in the event
that the Board adjusts the Company’s fiscal year. Any such adjustment by the Board shall be final
and binding on all persons.

The DEPS Targets set forth herein will be adjusted by the Board in good faith to reflect each
acquisition or disposition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries subsequent to the Grant Date
of any business, operation, entity (including the acquisition of only a portion of an entity whose
results will be consolidated by the Company in accordance with GAAP), division of any entity or any
assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any such adjustment by the Board shall be final
and binding on all persons.

“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time.

hereto specifically acknowledge that time is of the essence with respect to the Closing. All

Seller.

- 13 -

 

Section 2.2 Assets to be Sold

     (a) On the Closing Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller
shall sell, assign and transfer, and will cause the Selling Subsidiaries to sell, assign and
transfer, to Buyer all of Seller’s and the Selling Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and
to the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, as provided
herein.

     (b) Such transfers will be effected by Seller or one or more Selling Subsidiaries, as the case
may be, transferring to Buyer, in each case, as shall be mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer,
pursuant to (i) one or more bills of sale as shall be necessary to transfer to Buyer good and valid
title to all the Acquired Assets other than Transferred Real Property, free and clear of all Liens
other than Permitted Liens (the “Bills of Sale”), (ii) one or more assignment and

Agreements (or portions thereof relating to the Patient Monitoring Business or the Purchased
Assets) to be assigned and transferred to Buyer at the Closing (the “Contract
Assignments”), (iii) the Conveyancing Documents, (iv) one or more general assignments as shall
be necessary to assign to Buyer all of the rights to the Transferred Trademarks (the “Trademark
Assignments”); provided, however, that it shall be Buyer’s responsibility to

following execution by Seller (or the applicable Selling Subsidiaries), (v) one or more general
assignments as shall be necessary to assign to Buyer all of the rights to the Copyrights comprised

applicable Selling Subsidiaries).

     (c) If any separate agreements are necessary for the sale, assignment and transfer of any
Purchased Assets outside of the United States, such agreements shall be on terms wholly consistent
with and as close as reasonably possible to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, the parties shall arrange for such separate agreements providing for the sale,
assignment and purchase of the Purchased Assets located in Belgium, France, Germany, the United
Kingdom and the Netherlands to be prepared and entered into by the respective local Selling
Subsidiaries and Buyer or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date. Each party shall be

- 14 -

 

Section 2.3 Assumption of Liabilities

     (a) At the Closing, Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and shall agree to pay, perform
and discharge the Assumed Liabilities, and shall promptly reimburse Seller for the performance by
Seller (or its Affiliates) of any such obligation the performance of which by Buyer is not accepted
by the obligee in the exercise of such obligee’s lawful rights. Buyer is not assuming any debt,
liability or obligation of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, other than the Assumed Liabilities,
and Seller and its Affiliates shall retain all other liabilities and obligations of Seller and its
Affiliates, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
Excluded Liabilities.

     (b) Buyer’s assumption of the obligations with respect to Assumed Agreements, subject to the
ongoing obligations of the parties post-Closing pursuant to Section 2.8, shall be evidenced by
Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Contract Assignments.

Section 2.4 Purchase Price.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consideration to be paid by Buyer

Assumed Liabilities by Buyer. The Purchase Price shall be paid in the manner and at the time set

Section 2.5 Excluded Assets

     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not and does not

this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby any right, title or interest in or to any of
the Excluded Assets.

     Prior to Closing, the parties shall agree to an allocation of the consideration (the

relevant Assumed Liabilities which are treated under the Tax Laws of the relevant jurisdiction as
part of the total consideration received in exchange for the sale of the Purchased Assets) among
the Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries and the portion of the Total Consideration allocated to
each such entity among the Purchased Assets transferred by such entity to Buyer or its Affiliates,
in each case, in accordance with applicable Tax Law and substantially in the form set forth in
Schedule 2.6; provided, however, that the parties may agree to modify the form provided in
Schedule 2.6 (including to the extent that an agreed upon allocation is required with

“Allocation Schedule”). Except as otherwise required by Law, (i) the Allocation
Schedule will apply for U.S. and foreign Tax purposes, and (ii) Buyer and Seller and their
respective subsidiaries will (A) act in accordance with the Allocation Schedule in the preparation

Section 2.7 Transfer Taxes and Value Added Tax; Bulk Sales

     (a) Subject to any obligation imposed by Law or Governmental Entity, Seller and Buyer agree to
fully and reasonably cooperate to minimize the impact of all Transfer Taxes and value added Tax
levied on the sale, assignment or transfer of the Purchased Assets to be sold and transferred as
provided herein. All Transfer Taxes resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.

     (b) Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller and its Affiliates with the provisions of the
bulk transfer and bulk sales Laws of any applicable jurisdictions; provided, that,
that Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their respective
successors and assigns from and against any and all losses of any such Persons, directly or
indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from the failure to comply with any such Laws;
and provided, however that nothing in this Agreement will prevent either party from
asserting as a bar or defense in any action or proceeding brought under any bulk sales or bulk
transfer Law that such Law does not apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.8 Non-Assignability of Assets

     To the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to Buyer of any Purchased Asset or Assumed Agreement
is prohibited by any Law or would require any governmental or third party authorizations,
approvals, consents or waivers (“Consent”) and such Consent shall not have been obtained
prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or delivery, or any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, thereof. For a
period (the “Transfer Period”) beginning on the Closing Date (or, if earlier, the
Non-Compete Expiration Date) and ending on the earlier of (a) one year from such date or (b) Seller
consummates a Seller Change of Control (provided, however, that the Transfer Period shall not, in
any case, be less than six months), Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain or satisfy, at the earliest practicable date, all Consents to facilitate the full and
expeditious transfer of legal title, or Seller’s or its Selling Subsidiaries’ rights, as the case
may be, to the Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that
neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor, nor shall Seller have
any obligation to extend or renew any such Assumed Agreement that may expire during such period.
If the necessary Consent is obtained, Seller shall assign and transfer any such Purchased Asset or
Assumed Agreement to Buyer at no additional cost, and Buyer shall thereupon assume all obligations
and liabilities of Seller under any such Assumed Agreement in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. If the necessary Consent
is not obtained within such period, Seller’s obligations to Buyer with respect to such
Purchased Asset or Assumed Agreement shall expire, Seller shall be free to terminate any such
Assumed Agreement in accordance with its terms, and under no circumstances shall the Purchase Price
be reduced on account of the failure to obtain any such Consent. If any such Consents are not
obtained and/or satisfied by the time of the Closing and Buyer in its sole discretion waives such
requirement, then, at Seller’s expense: (a)

- 16 -

 

Seller shall continue to use such commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain same, (b) Seller shall at the Closing enter into such arrangements as
Buyer may reasonably request in order to provide to Buyer the benefit of any the non-transferred
items, until such items have been transferred to Buyer (or its Affiliate, as applicable), if ever,
whether by assignment, novation or otherwise and (c) Buyer shall perform such non-transferred items
as subcontractor to Seller (to the extent subcontracting is permissible under the relevant item)
or, where subcontracting is not permissible, as agent for Seller, until such items have been
transferred to Buyer (or its Affiliate, as applicable), if ever, whether by assignment, novation or
otherwise. Nothing herein shall be construed as an attempt to transfer any Contract, Permit,
Approval or other Purchased Asset which by its terms requires Consent to do so unless such Consent
has been obtained. Buyer shall grant Seller a license to any and all Purchased Assets to the
extent the same are necessary for Seller to continue to perform its obligations under any such
Assumed Agreement.

Section 2.9 Delivery by Seller

     At the Closing, Seller will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer the following (unless
delivered previously):

     (a) stock certificates and stock powers with respect to the Artema Stock duly executed to
Buyer, free and clear of any Liens;

     (b) the Secretary’s Certificate referred to in Section 5.1(c) hereof; and

     (c) duly executed counterparts of the Transaction Documents.

Section 2.10 Delivery by Buyer

     At the Closing, Buyer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller (or one or more of
Seller’s Affiliates, as designated by Seller) the following (unless previously delivered):

     (a) the Base Purchase Price less the Estimated Net Working Capital Deficiency or plus the
Estimated Net Working Capital Excess, as the case may be, by transfer of immediately available
funds (to such account as Seller may direct by written notice delivered to Buyer at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the Closing Date);

     (b) the Secretary’s Certificate referred to in Section 5.2(c) hereof; and

     (c) duly executed counterparts of the Transaction Documents.

Section 2.11 Net Working Capital Adjustments; Accounts Receivable Adjustments

     (a) Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital Adjustment. At least three (3)
Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a good faith estimate of
the Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”).
The amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than

- 17 -

 

$49,132,000 (the “Target Closing Date Net Working Capital”) is the “Estimated Net
Working Capital Deficiency” and the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Date Net
Working Capital exceeds the Target Closing Date Net Working Capital is the “Estimated Net
Working Capital Excess.” Seller shall make available to Buyer all work papers and other books
and records utilized in calculating the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital.

     (b) Post-Closing Closing Date Net Working Capital Adjustment. As promptly as
practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify
Seller in writing of its final determination of the Patient Monitoring Business’ actual (rather
than estimated) Closing Date Net Working Capital (sometimes referred to herein as the “Buyer’s
Report”), which determination shall set forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s calculation of the
Closing Date Net Working Capital. The Buyer’s Report shall also set forth, and explain in
reasonable detail, any differences between Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Working
Capital and Seller’s Calculation of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital. The Closing
Date Net Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Standards. A copy
of all work papers and other books and records utilized in the preparation of the Buyer’s Report
shall be made available to Seller at such time. Seller will notify Buyer in writing (the “Net
Working Capital Dispute Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receiving the Buyer’s Report if
Seller disagrees with the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital as set forth
in the Buyer’s Report, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
disagreement, the amounts involved and Seller’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Working
Capital. If no Net Working Capital Dispute Notice is received by Buyer within such thirty (30) day
period, the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital as set forth in the Buyer’s
Report shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. Seller and Buyer will give each other
and their respective representatives reasonable access during normal business hours and upon
reasonable notice to the personnel, books and records of the Seller and its Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, relating to the Closing Date Net Working
Capital to assist Buyer in the preparation of the Buyer’s Report and to assist Seller in the
preparation of any Net Working Capital Dispute Notice.

     (c) Upon receipt by Buyer of a Net Working Capital Dispute Notice, Seller and Buyer shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Closing Date Net Working
Capital set forth in the Net Working Capital Dispute Notice. To the extent Buyer and Seller are
unable to agree with respect to the Closing Date Net Working Capital within thirty
(30) days after receipt by Buyer of the Net Working Capital Dispute Notice (the
“Resolution Period”), Buyer and Seller shall promptly but not later than five (5) Business
Days after the expiration of the Resolution Period submit the issues as to the proper amount of the
Closing Date Net Working Capital for a binding determination to any internationally recognized
accounting firm that is not an affiliate of, or engaged as the accounting firm for, any of Seller,
Buyer and their respective Affiliates (an “Independent Accounting Firm”) that is mutually
acceptable to Seller and Buyer, or, if no such agreement is reached within five (5) Business Days
after the expiration of the Resolution Period, each of Seller and Buyer shall select an Independent
Accounting Firm, whereupon such Independent Accounting Firms shall jointly select a third
Independent Accounting Firm. Such accounting firm selected by Seller and Buyer, or by the two

- 18 -

 

Independent Accounting Firms, as the case may be, may consider only items disputed by the Net
Working Capital Dispute Notice and matters affected thereby, and its determination of the Final
Closing Date Net Working Capital (as defined below) shall not be less than the Closing Date Net
Working Capital set forth in the Buyer’s Report or more than the Closing Date Net Working Capital
set forth in the Net Working Capital Dispute Notice. Such accounting firm’s determination shall be
made within thirty (30) days after their selection, shall be set forth in a written statement as to
the dispute and the resulting computation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital delivered to
Buyer and Seller, shall be final, binding and conclusive and shall constitute an arbitral award
upon which a judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The amount of the
Closing Date Net Working Capital as agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, as deemed agreed upon pursuant
to the next-to-last sentence of Section 2.11(b) or as determined by such accounting firm in
accordance herewith, shall be the “Final Closing Date Net Working Capital.” The fees and
expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the party (either Seller or Buyer) whose latest
offer or position as to an acceptable amount for the Closing Date Net Working Capital at the time
the issue is submitted to such accounting firm is furthest away from the Final Closing Date Net
Working Capital as determined by such accounting firm.

     (d) If the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Date Net
Working Capital, the amount equal to the difference between the two (the “Final Net Working
Capital Deficiency”) shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after the
amount of the Final Net Working Capital Deficiency has been determined. If the Final Closing Date
Net Working Capital is more than the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the amount equal
to the difference between the two (the “Final Net Working Capital Excess”) shall be paid by
Buyer to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after the amount of the Final Net Working Capital
Excess has been determined.

     (e) The amount of Final Net Working Capital Deficiency or Final Net Working Capital Excess, if
any, paid pursuant to Section 2.11(d), shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price.

     (f) The following terms shall have meanings set forth below:

     (i) “Current Assets” shall mean, as of a specified date, all of the
current assets of the Patient Monitoring Business (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, Inventory), other than Excluded Assets (which Excluded Assets shall include,
for the avoidance of doubt, Accounts Receivable), as determined in accordance with
GAAP;

     (ii) “Current Liabilities” shall mean, as of a specified date, all of
the current liabilities of the Patient Monitoring Business, other than Excluded
Liabilities, as determined in accordance with GAAP; and

     (iii) “Closing Date Net Working Capital” shall mean, as of the closing
of business on the Closing Date, (a) the Current Assets minus (b) the Current

- 19 -

 

Liabilities, all as determined for the Patient Monitoring Business as of the closing
of business on the Closing Date and in accordance with GAAP.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

     Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Purchased Assets are sold “as is, where is” and Buyer
agrees to accept the Purchased Assets in the condition they are in at the place they are located on
the Closing Date based on its own inspection, examination and determination with respect to all
matters, and without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any
nature made by, on behalf of or imputed to Seller, except for such representations and warranties
as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Buyer acknowledges that Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to (i) any
forecasts, projections, estimates or budgets delivered or made available to Buyer of future
revenues, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows or future
financial condition (or any component thereof) or (ii) any other information or documents made
available to Buyer or its counsel, accountants or advisors, except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement or the Schedules or Exhibits hereto. BUYER AGREES THAT THE REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES GIVEN HEREIN BY SELLER ARE IN LIEU OF, AND BUYER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO,
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH MAY OTHERWISE BE APPLICABLE BECAUSE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE UNIFORM
COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER STATUTE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

in any section relating to forward looking statements and any other disclosures included therein to
the extent they are primarily predictive or forward-looking in nature) or (2) as explicitly set
forth in the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in
any Disclosure Schedule shall also be deemed disclosure with respect to any other
Disclosure Schedule to which such disclosure is reasonably apparent), Seller represents and
warrants to Buyer as follows:

Section 3.1 Qualification, Organization, Selling Subsidiaries, etc.

     (a) Each of Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized. Each of Seller and the

to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted,
except where the failure to have such power or authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

- 20 -

 

     (b) Each of Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries is qualified to do business or licensed and,
where applicable as a legal concept, is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of
its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (c) The authorized capital stock or other equity interests of Artema consists of SEK 1,000,000
share capital, par value SEK 0.04 per share. As of the date hereof, (i) SEK 632,135 of Artema

shares of Artema Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are
not subject to any pre-emptive or subscription rights (and were not issued in violation of any
preemptive or subscription rights). Seller, directly or indirectly through one or more wholly
owned Subsidiaries of Seller, beneficially owns and has good and valid title to all the Artema
Stock, free and clear of all Liens. There are (i) no options, warrants, or similar rights to

Section 3.5 Financial Statements

     Attached hereto as Exhibit D are true, complete and correct copies of the Financial
Statements. The Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) fairly present in all material
respects (a) the assets and liabilities of the Patient Monitoring Business as of December 31, 2007
(the “Interim Balance Sheet Date”) and June 30, 2007 and (b) the revenues and expenses of
the Patient Monitoring Business for the six-month period ended December 31, 2007 and the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006. The Financial Statements (i) are prepared from, and
in accordance with, the books and records of Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries and (ii) reflect in
all material respects the costs and expenses of the Patient Monitoring Business as if the Patient
Monitoring Business was independent and not affiliated with any other corporation or business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that the Financial Statements were prepared
solely for the purpose of this Agreement and for the internal management purposes of Seller and
that the Patient Monitoring Business was not conducted on a stand-alone basis as a separate entity
during the periods indicated in the Financial Statements and that the allocations and estimates
included in the Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have
resulted if the Patient Monitoring Business had been operated and conducted on a stand-alone basis
as a separate entity during such periods. Other than as set forth in this Section 3.5, Seller
makes no representations with regard to the Financial Statements or the other financial information
of the Patient Monitoring Business (including any estimates, projections, plans or budgets).

Section 3.7 Absence of Certain Changes or Events

Section 3.8 Inventory

     All of the Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, the cost thereof being
determined on a first-in, first-out basis, except as disclosed in the Financial Statements.

“Inventory Summary”). Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.8, all of the Inventory
reflected in the Inventory Summary and all such Inventory acquired since the Interim Balance Sheet
Date consist of items of a quality and quantity useable and saleable in the ordinary course of

finished goods) reflected in the Inventory Summary and (ii) none of the Inventory acquired after
the Interim Balance Sheet Date is obsolete or otherwise not saleable within a twelve-month period
(and to the extent obsolete or otherwise not saleable, has been written off or written down to net

Closing Date, as the case may be). All of the Inventory (whether parts/raw materials,
work-in-process or finished goods) reflected in the Inventory Summary and all such Inventory
acquired after the Interim Balance Sheet Date are of such quality as to meet or exceed the Base PM
Business’ internal standards and any applicable governmental quality control standards. The
Inventory levels with respect to the Base PM Business are not excessive and have been maintained at

Material Adverse Effect and(ii)  neither Seller nor any of the Selling Subsidiaries has received

Seller and Buyer shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion
of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of

review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any
proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity. Each of Seller and Buyer agrees not to
participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any
Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby unless it consults with

other party and its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate.

     (e) Subject to and in furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties
contained in this Section 6.6, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including
any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Regulatory Law, each of Seller and
Buyer shall cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use their respective reasonable
best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted,
reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary,
preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     (a) Seller’s ISRA Obligations and Seller’s Additional Environmental Obligations shall be
limited to meeting the Appropriate Remediation Standard. To the extent acceptable to Governmental

groundwater) to meet the Appropriate Remediation Standard and to cooperate in obtaining all
necessary approvals of the use of such controls.

     (b) Seller’s ISRA Obligations and Seller’s Additional Environmental Obligations shall not

agents and representatives with reasonable access to the Transferred Real Property in Mahwah, New
Jersey, to allow Seller to complete Seller’s ISRA Obligations and Seller’s Additional Environmental

ARTICLE VII

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

Section 7.1 Employee Matters

     (a) Effective as of the Closing, the employees listed on the Agreed List of Employees shall
become employees of Buyer on terms of employment in accordance with Section 7.1(b) below. All such
employees who become employed by Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries effective as of the Closing or
thereafter are hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” Employment with
Buyer of Transferred Employees shall commence immediately on the Closing Date, except that
employment of individuals on leave of absence or short-term disability leave, maternity leave,
salary continuation and extension type of leave, military leave or workers compensation (“Leave
Employees”), except as otherwise provided by Law, shall become

- 45 -

 

effective as of the date they
first present themselves for active work with the Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer, except to
the extent otherwise required by Law, shall have no obligation to hire Leave Employees unless such
individuals first present themselves for active work with Buyer within six (6) months following the
Closing Date. For purposes hereof, Leave Employees who accept an offer of employment from Buyer
shall be deemed to be Transferred Employees as of the date they accept employment with Buyer.

     (b) For the period ending on December 31st of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year that includes the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), Buyer shall
provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Transferred Employee, compensation and benefits
that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the compensation and benefits provided to
Transferred Employees immediately before the Closing (excluding any retiree welfare benefits,
compensation or benefits provided pursuant to equity-based awards or any defined benefit plans and
any payments or benefits that would become payable upon a change of control of Seller).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) Buyer shall or shall
cause its Subsidiaries to provide the Transferred Employees whose employment with Buyer terminates
during the Continuation Period with severance benefits that are at least equal to levels of base
salary provided as severance under Seller’s broad-based severance policy as such policy is in
effect immediately prior to the Closing (to the extent that the benefits under such policy as of
the Closing Date are not more generous than the benefits provided thereunder as of the date of this
Agreement), as set forth on Schedule 7.1(b) and (B) during such Continuation Period,
severance benefits offered by Buyer to the Transferred Employees shall be determined without taking
into account any reduction after the Closing in base salary paid to the Transferred Employees. The
Buyer Savings Plan described in Section 7.1(e) shall be a savings-type defined contribution plan
intended to be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and shall accept rollover
contributions and provide a loan feature.

     (c) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate, benefit
accrual and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Buyer and its Subsidiaries
providing benefits to any Transferred Employees established during the Continuation Period (the
“New Plans”), each Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service
with the Seller before the Closing, provided that the foregoing shall not apply with
respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its
application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.
All such periods of employment have been provided to Buyer, specified by employee, prior to the
Closing Date. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) each
Transferred Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any
and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is analogous to a Seller Benefit Plan
or Seller Foreign Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately before the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) for purposes of each New Plan
providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee, Buyer
shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New
Plan to be waived for such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such
conditions would not have been waived under the analogous plan of Seller or the

- 46 -

 

Selling
Subsidiaries in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing and
Buyer shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Transferred Employee and his or her
covered dependents under the Seller Benefit Plan or Seller Foreign Plan to be taken into account
under the corresponding New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum
out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered
dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such
New Plan.

     (d) Buyer and Seller agree to use the “alternate procedure” specified in Revenue Procedure
2004-53 for reporting the wages of the Transferred Employees and the payment of FICA taxes with
respect to the Transferred Employees. As soon as administratively feasible following the Closing
Date, Seller shall provide Buyer the information required for reporting wages on Form W-2 for each
Transferred Employee for the year in which the Closing Date occurs.

     (e) As soon as reasonably practical following the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish a
defined contribution plan (or cover Transferred Employees under an existing defined contribution
plan sponsored by Buyer) (the “Buyer Savings Plan”) for the benefit of Transferred
Employees who, as of the Closing Date, are participants in the Amended and Restated Datascope Corp.
401(k) Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan of Seller (the “Savings Plan”). Seller
shall fully vest all Transferred Employees in their account balances under the Savings Plan and all
other retirement plans of Seller or the Selling Subsidiaries (as set forth on Schedule
7.1(e)) intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code as of the Closing Date. As soon
as practical following the Closing Date (the “Transfer Date”), in accordance with Code
Section 414(1), Seller shall cause the trustee of the Savings Plan to transfer directly to the
Buyer Savings Plan to transfer the full account balances of each of the Transferred Employees who
is a participant
under the Savings Plan valued as of the valuation date under the Savings Plan coincident with
the Transfer Date or the Business Day immediately preceding the Transfer Date. The value of the
account balance of each Transferred Employee will be transferred in cash and marketable securities
(or such other form as may be agreed by Buyer and Seller) to the Buyer’s Savings Plan, except that
the value of any outstanding participant loans, which any such Transferred Employee has as of the
Transfer Date will be transferred in kind. Notwithstanding that the Closing will occur prior to
the Transfer Date, the Savings Plan will not default any outstanding loan of any Transferred
Employee, whose account balance under the Savings Plan will be transferred to the Buyer Savings
Plan pursuant to this Section 7.1(e). In no event, however, shall such transfer take place until
the furnishing to Buyer by Seller of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service with respect to the qualification of the Savings Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code on
which Seller is entitled to rely as of the Transfer Date.

     (f) Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, to the extent permitted by Law, with Buyer’s
attempts to obtain information relating to the Transferred Employees employment with the Patient
Monitoring Business, excluding making available to Buyer such employees’ personnel files and
performance evaluations (all of which files and evaluations shall be

- 47 -

 

transferred as of the
Closing). To the extent permitted by Law, Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with access to
information necessary in order to carry out the provisions of this Section 7.1, including, without
limitation, making available all information regarding base wages, compensation and bonus and
benefit entitlements of the individuals on the Agreed List of Employees during their employment
with Seller as of the date of this Agreement.

     (g) Seller shall retain liability for all earned but untaken vacation and/or paid time off
credited to each Transferred Employee by Seller or the Selling Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.

     (h) Nothing in this Section 7.1 or any other provision of this Agreement (i) shall be
construed to modify, amend or, except as is otherwise provided in Section 7.1(b) with respect to
Buyer’s 401(k) plan, establish any benefit plan, program, or arrangement or in any way limit, and
Seller and Selling Subsidiaries shall take no action after the date hereof that would limit, the
ability of the parties hereto or any other Person to modify, amend, or terminate any of the Seller
Benefit Plans, Seller Foreign Plans or New Plans as may be allowed under the terms of such plans or
applicable Law or (ii) confers or is intended to confer upon any Transferred Employee (or any
beneficiary or dependent thereof) any rights, including any right to employment or continued
employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or
condition of employment, compensation or benefits.

Section 7.2 Books and Records; Access

     (a) Seller agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer as soon as practicable after
the Closing, copies of all material books, records and other documents of Seller or its Affiliates
to the extent related to the Patient Monitoring Business and the Purchased Assets as Buyer may
reasonably request; provided that any portions thereof that do not relate to the Patient
Monitoring Business or the Purchased Assets may be redacted from the copies delivered to
Buyer. From and after the Closing, Seller will permit Buyer and its duly authorized
representatives access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to all Contracts,
books, records and other data of Seller or its Affiliates to the extent relating to the Purchased
Assets and Assumed Liabilities conveyed and assumed at the Closing (to the extent that such
Contracts, books, records and data were not previously delivered to Buyer); provided that
any portions thereof that do not relate to the Patient Monitoring Business or the Purchased Assets
may be redacted from the copies to which such access is permitted. In addition, Seller agrees
that, from and after the Closing, Buyer or its authorized representatives may, at Buyer’s cost and
expense, make copies of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ books and records (or redacted portions
thereof) to the extent related to the Patient Monitoring Business, including the pricing
information of the Products, to the extent that such books and records were not delivered to Buyer.

     (b) From and after the Closing Date and for a period of seven (7) years, in connection with
the preparation of Tax Returns (including Tax Returns relating to the calendar year in which the
Closing occurs) or in connection with any Tax, regulatory or accounting investigation, inquiry or
review or any pending or threatened third party action or injury that is related to the

- 48 -

 

ownership
of the Purchased Assets or the operation of the Patient Monitoring Business prior to the Closing,
upon reasonable prior notice, and except as determined in good faith to be appropriate to ensure
compliance with any applicable Laws and subject to any applicable privileges (including the
attorney-client privilege) and contractual confidentiality obligations, the Buyer shall, and shall
cause Artema and its representatives to, (i) afford Seller and its Affiliates reasonable access,
during normal business hours, to the offices, properties, books and records of the Buyer and Artema
in respect of Artema, the Patient Monitoring Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed
Liabilities, (ii) furnish to Seller and its Affiliates such additional financial and other
information regarding Artema, the Patient Monitoring Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed
Liabilities as Seller may from time to time reasonably request and (iii) make available to Seller
and its Affiliates the employees of Buyer and Artema in respect of Artema, the Patient Monitoring
Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities whose assistance, expertise, testimony,
notes and recollections or presence is necessary to assist Seller in connection with Seller’s
inquiries for any of the purposes referred to above, including, at Seller’s sole cost, the presence
of such persons as witnesses in hearings or trials for such purposes; provided,
however, that such investigation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or
operations of Buyer or any of its Affiliates; and provided further, that the
external auditors and accountants of Buyer or its Affiliates shall not be obligated to make any
work papers and data available to any Person unless and until such Person has signed a customary
confidentiality agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to such auditors or accountants. Seller shall be obligated to pay for Buyer’s costs in
satisfying any of its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.2(b).

     (c) The rights under this Section 7.2 to receive, copy or have access to Contracts, books,
records, Tax Returns, work schedules and other documents and data shall survive until the later to
occur of the expiration of the statute of limitations for the imposition of Tax with respect to the
years to which such Contracts, books, records, documents and data pertain, or
seven (7) years from the year to which such Contracts, books, records, documents and data
pertain, provided that such access or copying shall not unduly interfere with the business
and affairs of the party or applicable Affiliate(s) permitting such access or copying. Neither
party shall be obligated hereunder to disclose to the other party any information the disclosure of
which would violate any Law.

Section 7.3 Insurance

     As of the Closing Date the coverage under all insurance policies related to the Patient
Monitoring Business shall continue in force only for the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates, and
not for the benefit of Buyer or its Affiliates. As of the Closing Date Buyer agrees to arrange for
its own insurance policies with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities
covering all periods and agrees not to seek, through any means, to benefit from any of Seller’s or
its Affiliates’ insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the
Patient Monitoring Business.

- 49 -

 

Section 7.4 Payments from Third Parties

     In the event that, on or after the Closing Date, either party shall receive any payments or
other funds due to the other pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise, then the party receiving
such funds shall promptly forward such funds to the proper party. The parties acknowledge and
agree there is no right of offset regarding such payments and a party may not withhold funds
received from third parties for the account of the other party in the event there is a dispute
regarding any other issue under this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Further Assurances

     (a) Each of Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all conditions
to its and the other parties’ obligations hereunder to be timely satisfied and to perform and
fulfill all obligations on its part to be performed and fulfilled under this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to the end that the transactions contemplated
herein shall be effected substantially in accordance with its terms as soon as reasonably
practicable. Each of Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver during the Transfer Period such
further certificates, agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the other party
may reasonably request to consummate or implement the transactions contemplated hereby or under the
other Transaction Documents or to evidence such events or matters, including (i) transferring to
Buyer any Purchased Assets which was not transferred to Buyer at the Closing Date and any asset,
right, benefit or other property which is not a Purchased Asset but that the parties mutually agree
to transfer to Buyer and (ii) transferring back to Seller any asset, right, benefit or other
property which is not a Purchased Asset but was transferred to Buyer at Closing.

     (b) Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts, and instruct its employees, auditors or other
authorized representatives to use reasonable efforts, to cooperate with requests to furnish to
Buyer, auditors or other authorized representatives of Buyer financial information regarding the
Patient Monitoring Business as such persons may reasonably request for the purposes of Buyer’s
preparation of standalone historical financial statements in respect of the Patient Monitoring
Business.

     (c) At any time from the Effective Date through the Transfer Period, upon the request of
Buyer, the parties shall meet to discuss in good faith any concerns over the completeness of the
lists of patent applications included in the schedule of Transferred Patent Rights. If the parties
determine that any unpublished patent application owned by Seller or the Selling Subsidiaries as of
the Effective Date exclusively relates to the Patient Monitoring Business (as determined based on
the independent claims of such application) and has been omitted from such schedule, the parties
shall amend such schedule to include such omitted unpublished patent applications. If the parties
determine that any unpublished patent application owned by Seller or the Selling Subsidiaries as of
the Effective Date primarily relates to the Patient Monitoring Business (as determined based on the
independent claims of such application) and has been omitted from such schedule, the parties shall
work together in good faith to put in place appropriate arrangements between the parties relating
to such unpublished patent applications, including licenses thereto.

- 50 -

 

     (d) All cash collected on or after the Closing Date with respect to Accounts Receivable which
constitute Excluded Assets shall belong to, and if received by Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates,
shall be received for the benefit and the account of, Seller, and Buyer shall (and shall cause each
of their respective Affiliates to), on a weekly basis, transfer and remit to Seller all such
amounts received by or paid to Buyer and/or any of their Affiliates. By way of clarification, to
the extent Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates receives cash from a distributor which has accounts
receivables owing to Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates and Accounts Receivable owing to Seller,
such cash (to the extent of the outstanding Accounts Receivable from such distributor) shall be
received for the benefit and the account of, Seller, and Buyer shall (and shall cause each of their
respective Affiliates to), on a weekly basis, transfer and remit to Seller all such amounts.

Section 7.6 Tax Matters

     (a) Seller shall timely file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns (other than Income Tax
Returns) related to the Purchased Assets (solely for purposes of this Section 7.6 and except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.6(b), the term “Purchased Assets” shall exclude the Artema Stock)
and all Tax Returns of Artema required to be filed by Seller, the Selling Subsidiaries, or Artema
on or before the Closing Date (after taking into account any extensions) and shall pay all Taxes
shown due on such Tax Returns. Buyer shall timely file, or cause to be filed, (i) all Tax Returns
related to the Purchased Assets (other than Income Tax Returns) and (ii) all Tax Returns of Artema
for the taxable periods, or portions thereof, ending on, before or including the Closing Date which
have not been filed prior to or on the Closing Date and Buyer shall remit to the proper taxing
authority all Taxes shown due thereon.

     (b) Buyer shall not have the right to file any amended Tax Return with regard to the Purchased
Assets or Artema for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period) without Seller’s
consent. Seller shall have the right to file any amended Tax Returns with regard
to the Purchased Assets or Artema with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a
Straddle Period). Either party shall have the right to file an amended Tax Return with regard to
the Purchased Assets with respect to any Straddle Period, provided that in the event that any such
filing proposed by one party would affect the obligations of the other party under this Agreement,
then the party proposing to amend such Tax Return shall obtain the written consent of the other
party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Section 7.6, Seller shall not have the right to file any amended Tax Return with regard to the
Purchased Assets (including, for this purpose, Artema Stock) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period if such
amendment is reasonably likely to result in increased Taxes to Buyer, unless Buyer consents.

     (c) With respect to Tax refunds:

     (i) Seller shall be entitled to any refunds or credits (including interest paid
therewith) received in respect of any Tax liability (x) of Artema or (y) with regard
to the Purchased Assets, in each case in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period;
provided that Seller shall not be entitled to any such refund or credit

- 51 -

 

(including interest paid therewith) to the extent such refund or credit was taken
into account in determining the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital or any
adjustment thereto under Section 2.11 hereto or otherwise to the extent Buyer
actually pays the Tax for which such refund or credit is owed.

     (ii) Except as provided in Section 7.6(c)(i), Buyer shall be entitled to any
refunds (including interest paid therewith) in respect of any Tax liability of
Artema or with regard to the Purchased Assets.

     (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Taxing Authority
subsequently disallows any item or refund with respect to which a party has received
payment from the other party pursuant to this Section 7.6(c), such recipient party
shall promptly pay (or cause to be paid) to the other party the full amount of such
item or refund (including any interest paid therewith).

     (d) For purposes of this Agreement, income, deductions, and other items in respect of a
Straddle Period shall be calculated by treating the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable
period, and the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the taxable period that is so deemed
to end on and include the Closing Date shall be allocated based on an actual closing of the books
of the relevant entity as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that in closing
books, Taxes (such as Property Taxes) that are not imposed on income, receipts, or otherwise on a
transactional basis and exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis
(including but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated on a
daily basis.

     (e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Seller, prior to the Closing Date, from
making, or causing to be made, an election under Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-3 with
respect to Artema.

     (f) Buyer shall not make, or cause to be made, an election under Treasury Regulation section
301.7701-3 with respect to Artema that goes into effect, and as to which the transactions described
in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-3(g) occur, on or prior to the Closing Date without the
consent of Seller.

     (g) With the consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or withheld by Seller in its sole
discretion, Buyer shall not make, nor allow any Affiliate to make, the election permitted to be
made under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to Artema (the “Artema 338 Election”).
However, if requested by Seller, Buyer shall, at Seller’s expense, make the Artema 338 Election.
If the Artema 338 Election is made, Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller of the filing of
such election, which notice shall contain the information required by Treasury Regulations section
1.338-2(e)(4), and shall be furnished in the time and manner set forth therein.

     (h) Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate to, during the period from the Closing
until December 31, 2008, cause Artema to (i) enter into a transaction which would directly or
indirectly result, for United States federal income tax purposes, in a dividend

- 52 -

 

distribution to
Buyer or its Affiliates or an inclusion to income to Seller for U.S. tax purposes or (ii) engage in
any activity or transaction which could be considered out of the ordinary course of business for
Artema for the calendar year that includes the Closing Date. In addition, Buyer agrees that it
shall promptly provide Seller with any information reasonably requested by Seller related to the
foreign tax credits claimed by, or available to, Seller (or the affiliated group of which Seller is
the parent). If Buyer, in accordance with Section 7.6(g), makes the Artema 338 Election, then
Buyer’s obligations in the first sentence of this Section 7.6(h) shall be null and void.

Section 7.7 Covenant Not to Compete

     (a) Seller agrees that for a period (such period, the “Non-Compete Expiration Date”)
between the Closing Date and the earliest to occur of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing
Date; (ii) the first anniversary of the date of a Buyer Change of Control; and (iii) the first
anniversary of the date of a Seller Change of Control, Seller shall not, and shall cause its
Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, manage, operate, control, engage or acquire any
ownership interest in any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business entity
that engages in a business in competition with Buyer with respect to the Base PM Business, as the
Base PM Business has been conducted during the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of this
Agreement, on a worldwide basis (each a “Seller Competing Business”); provided,
however, that it shall not be a violation of this Section 7.7(a) for Seller or any of its
Affiliates (i) to own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person
that are traded on a national securities exchange (or a securities exchange outside the U.S.) if
Seller or any of its Affiliates (A) is not a controlling Person or a member of a group that
controls such Person and (B) does not, directly or indirectly, own more than 5% of the voting
securities of such Person, (ii) to directly or indirectly acquire any Person that includes a Seller
Competing Business that, at the time of such acquisition,
constituted less than 20% of the assets or revenue of such Person, provided that
Seller disposes of such Seller Competing Business within twelve (12) months after the closing date
of such acquisition (regardless of whether such twelve (12) month period extends beyond the
Non-Compete Expiration Date) or (iii) provide services pursuant to the Transition Services
Agreement. Also, in the event that from the period between the Closing Date until the Non-Compete
Expiration Date, Seller completes a business combination transaction with a Person that is engaged
in any Seller Competing Business, which transaction results in such Person beneficially owning more
than 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of Seller outstanding immediately prior to
the consummation of such transaction (a “Seller Change of Control”), such Person and its
Affiliates (other than Seller (or the surviving entity of Seller or successor in interest of Seller
or its assets) and its Subsidiaries) shall not be subject to the restrictions in this Section
7.7(a) and Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be subject to the restrictions in Section 7.7(b).
For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.7(a) shall prevent Seller or any of its
Affiliates from operating, and it shall not be a violation of this Section 7.7(a) for Seller or any
of its Affiliates to operate, the Non-PM Business.

     (b) Buyer agrees that until the Non-Compete Expiration Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause
its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, manage, operate, control, engage or acquire any
ownership interest in any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business entity

- 53 -

 

that engages in a business in competition with Seller with respect to the Non-PM Business, as the
Non-PM Business has been conducted during the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of this
Agreement, on a worldwide basis (each a “Buyer Competing Business”); provided,
however, that it shall not be a violation of this Section 7.7(b) for Buyer or any of its
Affiliates (i) to own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person
that are traded on a national securities exchange (or a securities exchange outside the U.S.) if
Buyer or any of its Affiliates (A) is not a controlling Person or a member of a group that controls
such Person and (B) does not, directly or indirectly, own more than 5% of the voting securities of
such Person, (ii) to directly or indirectly acquire any Person that includes a Buyer Competing
Business that, at the time of such acquisition, constituted less than 20% of the assets or revenue
of such Person, provided that Buyer disposes of such Buyer Competing Business within twelve
(12) months after the closing date of such acquisition (regardless of whether such twelve (12)
month period extends beyond the Non-Compete Expiration Date) or (iii) provide services pursuant to
the Transition Services Agreement, or use the marks subject of, and pursuant to, the Trademark
License Agreement. Also, in the event that from the period between the Closing Date until the
Non-Compete Expiration Date, Buyer completes a business combination transaction with a Person that
is engaged in any Buyer Competing Business, which transaction results in such Person beneficially
owning more than 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of Buyer outstanding immediately
prior to the consummation of such transaction (a “Buyer Change of Control”), such Person
and its Affiliates (other than Buyer (or the surviving entity of Buyer or successor in interest of
Buyer or its assets) and its Subsidiaries) shall not be subject to the restrictions in this Section
7.7(b) and Seller and its Affiliates shall not be subject to the restrictions in Section 7.7(a).
For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.7(b) shall prevent
Buyer or any of its Affiliates from operating, and it shall not be a violation of this Section
7.7(b) for Buyer or any of its Affiliates to operate the Patient Monitoring Business.

Section 7.8 Non-Solicitation

     (a) For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Buyer will not, and will cause
all of its Subsidiaries and its and such Subsidiaries’ respective officers and directors not to,
and shall not authorize or permit its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, hire, retain,
employ or solicit to employ or hire or retain any of the employees of Seller and its Affiliates as
of the Closing Date or any time during the twelve (12) month period ending on the Closing Date;
provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to (i) general solicitations
of employment not specifically directed towards employees of Seller and its Affiliates or (ii) any
such individual whose employment relationship is terminated by Seller or any of its Affiliates
following the Closing.

     (b) Except with respect to the individuals set forth on Schedule 7.8, for a period of
two (2) years following the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause all of its Subsidiaries
and its and such Subsidiaries’ respective officers and directors not to, and shall not authorize or
permit its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, hire, retain, employ or solicit to employ or
hire or retain any of the employees of Buyer and its Affiliates as of the Closing Date (including,

- 54 -

 

for this purpose, the persons on the Agreed List of Employees) or any time during the twelve (12)
month period ending on the Closing Date; provided, however, that this provision
shall not apply to (i) general solicitations of employment not specifically directed towards
employees of Buyer and its Affiliates or (ii) any such individual whose employment relationship is
terminated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates following the Closing.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Termination or Abandonment

     This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at
any time:

     (a) by either Seller (by action duly authorized by the Board of Directors of Seller, or an
authorized committee thereof) or Buyer (by action of the Board of Directors of Buyer, or an
authorized committee thereof) if there has been a breach or failure to perform by the other party
of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, which breach or
failure to perform (1) in the case of a breach or failure to perform by Seller, would give rise to
the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.1, and (2) in the case of a breach or failure to
perform by Buyer, would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.2 (and in
each case such breach is not reasonably capable of being cured or such condition is not reasonably
capable of being satisfied within seven (7) Business Days after the receipt of notice thereof by
the defaulting party from the non-defaulting party, it being understood and agreed that
this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(a)(i) during, or following,
such period of seven (7) Business Days if such breach is cured during such period);
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement is not available to
the non-breaching party if the other party is at that time in material breach of this Agreement;

     (b) by either Buyer or Seller, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental
Entity shall have issued a final, non-appealable order, decree or ruling in each case permanently
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby;

     (c) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller duly authorized by the Board of Directors of
Seller and the Board of Directors of Buyer, or authorized committee thereof; or

     (d) by either Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September
30, 2008, unless the failure to consummate such Closing is the result of a wilful and material
breach of any Transaction Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement; provided,
however, that the passage of such period shall be tolled for any part thereof during which any
party shall be subject to a non-final order, decree, ruling or action restraining, enjoining or
otherwise prohibiting the consummation of such Closing.

- 55 -

 

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination

     In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, written notice
thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party specifying the provision hereof pursuant to
which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void, except
that the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive in accordance with its terms and Sections 8.2,
9.11, 9.12, 9.13 and 9.14 shall also survive such termination, provided, however, that nothing
herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to the date of
such termination. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any breach or threatened breach of
the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not
be an adequate remedy and accordingly the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies,
each party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific
performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 No Survival of Representations and Warranties

     None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered
pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing, other than the representations and warranties
in (a) Sections 3.2(a), 3.19, 4.2, and 4.8, which shall survive indefinitely.

Section 9.2 Schedule Updates

     Seller may, from time to time prior to or at the Closing, by notice in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, supplement, amend or create any Schedule corresponding to the
representations and warranties contained in Article III in order to add information or correct
previously supplied information. No such supplemental, amended or additional Schedule shall be
deemed to cure any breaches of a representation or warranty on or prior to the Closing; however, if
the Closing occurs, such supplement, amendment or addition will be effective to cure and correct
for all purposes any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant which would have existed if
Seller had not made such supplement, amendment or addition, and all references to any Schedule
hereto which is supplemented or amended as provided in this Section 9.2 shall for all purposes
include such added information or corrected information. Buyer and Seller may, from time to time
prior to or at the Closing, agree in accordance with Section 9.3 to supplement or amend any
Schedule corresponding to the definitions contained in Article I or the covenants or agreements.

Section 9.3 Amendments; Waivers

     At any time prior to the Termination Date, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an
amendment, by Buyer and Seller, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the

- 56 -

 

waiver is
to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Buyer or Seller in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 9.4 Assignment; Binding Effect

     Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties,
except that Buyer may assign, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, its rights, interest and
obligations under this Agreement to one or more direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of
Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller, but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of
its obligations hereunder to the extent any such subsidiary does not satisfy its obligations
hereunder.

Section 9.5 Severability

     Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon any such
determination, the parties hereto 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 to the end
that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.6 Notices
