TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC.

EXECUTIVE PERQUISITE PROGRAM

I. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Executive Perquisite Program (the “Program”) is to provide a consistent and
competitive level of perquisites and benefits to top level executives of Trinity Industries, Inc.
(the “Company”) by providing a monthly cash perquisite allowance (the “Perquisite Allowance”).
Specifically, the Perquisite Allowance is to be used at the discretion of the executive for (i)
expenses related to the use of executive’s personal automobile for business purposes and for the
first 10,000 business miles, (ii) country club, health club, dinner or luncheon club, or airport
club dues and fees, and (iii) other perquisite type expenses such as financial planning, income tax
preparation and home security. The Program does not preclude reimbursement of normal business
expenses such as business meals at a club and business use of a personal automobile beyond 10,000
business miles.

It is intended that the Perquisite Allowance will eliminate charges to the Company of personal
benefits for the executives that are not provided to Company employees generally other than
occasional de minimis items such as the use of Company tickets to entertainment events. The
Perquisite Allowance is not intended to cover personal use of the Company’s aircraft.

II. ELIGIBILITY

Corporate officers, operating presidents and certain other executives as approved from time to time
will be eligible to participate in the Program.

III. VALUE

Each participant will receive a Perquisite Allowance of 7.5% of their base pay payable at the end
of the month. The Perquisite Allowance will increase to 10% of the executive’s base pay when the
Company’s annual earnings exceed $1 a share and it is forecast that annual earnings will remain
above that level for the next year.

IV. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

The Program may be terminated or amended at any time by the Company. Notification of termination
or amendment will be given to the then Participants. If the Program is terminated during a Plan
Year, payment will be prorated to the date of termination. The Company’s decision relative to such
payment shall be final and binding on all parties.

 

 

V. EFFECTIVE DATE

The terms of the Program as described herein are effective commencing January 1, 2004 and will
continue until cancelled or changed by the Company.

VI. NO CONTRACT

Nothing in the Program shall be deemed by implication, conduct of the parties, or otherwise to
constitute a contract of employment or otherwise to impose any limitation on any right of the
Company or any of its operating units to terminate an executive’s employment at any time.

VII. PAYMENTS

Payments made pursuant to the Program will not be considered for purposes of calculating benefits
under any Company Retirement Plan.

 

 

	 	 	 
	 

	AUTOMOBILE ALLOWANCE	 

It is assumed that the first $6,000 paid under the Executive Perquisite Program relates to an
Automobile Allowance.

As a condition of the Automobile Allowance, an executive will be expected to use his or her
personal vehicle for business purposes. Therefore, Trinity will require that the following
conditions be met:

	 	1.  	Each executive is required to carry auto liability insurance with limits not less than
$250,000 for bodily injury to any one person, $500,000 for bodily injury each accident and
$100,000 property damage each accident or $500,000 combined single limit for bodily injury
and property damage. A current certificate of insurance or a copy of the declaration page
showing insurance limits must be provided to Risk Management. If this requires an
adjustment in the executive’s existing coverage then the executive must obtain it at the
next renewal.
	 
	 	2.  	In order to receive the $500 monthly allowance an executive must have a four door
vehicle suitable for business use. This does not mean the executive must drive a four door
vehicle every day. If an executive does not have a four door vehicle available the
executive will forfeit $6,000 of the Perquisite Allowance.
	 
	 	3.  	The vehicle must be maintained in good operating condition and kept clean inside and
out.
	 
	 	4.  	Mileage reimbursement will not be allowed for the first 10,000 business miles driven in
a year. If the executive expects to drive over 10,000 business miles in a year, the
executive will need to maintain a log of business miles showing point of origin,
destination and business purpose. For business miles driven above 10,000 miles, the
executive may claim reimbursement at the standard mileage rate.exv10wc

Section 2.03  Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase
Price”) shall consist of
$1,400,000,000 (the “Initial Purchase Price”), (ii) the Milestone Payments contemplated by
Section 2.04 and (iii) the Assumed Liabilities. To the extent that any amount of VAT is required
to be paid with respect to any payment made by the Purchaser to BSC under this Section 2.03 or

required to be paid.

(b)    Within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, the Purchaser shall provide to BSC, for
income Tax purposes, the Purchaser’s proposed allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased
Assets (the “Allocation Statement”). BSC shall review the Allocation Statement and, to the
extent BSC in good faith disagrees with the content of the Allocation Statement, BSC shall, within
twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the Allocation Statement, provide written notice to the
Purchaser of such disagreement, which notice shall contain specific items of disagreement and
reasons therefor. If BSC does not object by written notice within such 21-day period, the
Purchaser’s Allocation Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder
and for all Tax purposes. If BSC notifies the Purchaser that it objects to the Allocation
Statement, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any such disagreement until the 90th
day following the Closing Date (the “Allocation Date”). If the parties cannot resolve
their differences at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, the Allocation Statement will
become an estimated allocation used for purposes of the

27

 

Closing. If the parties cannot resolve their differences by the Allocation Date, the issues
in dispute shall be referred to a third party firm that has expertise in valuation matters and that
is mutually agreeable to the Purchaser and BSC (the “Third Party Firm”) and the decision of
the Third Party Firm will be binding on the parties. The decision will be reflected in a revised
Allocation Statement which will be considered the final allocation. The costs of the Third Party
Firm shall be borne equally by the Purchaser and BSC.

(c)    The Purchaser and BSC each agree to file, and to cause their respective Affiliates to
file, their income Tax Returns and all other Tax Returns and necessary forms in such a manner as to
reflect the allocation of the consideration as determined in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and
shall take no position inconsistent therewith in any audit, litigation or other proceeding.

Section 2.04  Milestone Payments. No later than five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of an event described in this Section
2.04, the Purchaser shall deposit in the Purchase Price Bank Account the applicable payment
associated with such event as specified below (any such payment, a “Milestone Payment”),
less any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law (provided that the Purchaser and BSC shall
cooperate in good faith to determine the amount of any such Taxes required to be withheld);
provided that if the event described in Section 2.04(a) occurs prior to the Closing Date,
the Purchaser shall deposit in the Purchase Price Bank Account on the Closing Date the Milestone
Payment applicable to such event:

(a)    $50,000,000 if (i) the FDA provides written notification of clearance of the 510(k)
submission for the TargetTM Detachable Coils provided to the Purchaser by BSC prior to
the date of this Agreement; provided that the parties agree that any deviations from such
form in the written notification of such clearance from the FDA shall be disregarded for purposes
of this Section 2.04(a) to the extent such deviations would not change the indications for use
contained in such 510(k) submission and otherwise would not materially and adversely delay or
affect the Purchaser’s ability to market and sell TargetTM Detachable Coils (it being
agreed that any requirement that post-market clinical trials be conducted will not by itself
constitute a material and adverse effect for this purpose), and (ii) BSC has at least 3,500 units
of TargetTM Detachable Coils in inventory that comply with, and are available to be
delivered pursuant to, the terms of the Supply Agreement;

(b)    $15,000,000 following the completion of the Cork Separation Activities (as such term is
defined in the Separation Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement,
which may occur prior to the Cork Manufacturing Transfer Date;

(c)    $15,000,000 following the occurrence of the Cork Manufacturing Transfer Date in accordance
with the terms of the Separation Agreement;

(d)    $10,000,000 following the occurrence of the Fremont Manufacturing Transfer Date in
accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement; and

(e)    $10,000,000 following the occurrence of the West Valley Manufacturing Transfer Date in
accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement.

28

Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall take
place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Shearman & Sterling LLP,
599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York at 10:00 A.M. New York time on the fifth Business Day
following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto set

satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) or at such
other place or at such other time or on such other date as BSC and the Purchaser may mutually agree
upon in writing. The day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”.

contrary contained herein, if BSC or any Seller fails to provide the Purchaser with such
certification, the Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold the requisite amount from the Initial
Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1445 of the Code and the applicable Regulations and that
any amount so withheld shall be considered to have been paid by the Purchaser to BSC or any such
Seller;

Intellectual Property, including whether such Intellectual Property is invalid or unenforceable;

(e)    a true and complete copy, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of BSC or the
Sellers, as the case may be, of the resolutions duly and validly adopted by the Board of Directors
of each such Person and (to the extent necessary to authorize due execution and delivery) the
equity holders of each Seller, evidencing their authorization of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement to which such Person is, or will on the Closing Date be,

thereunder;

and enforceable Intellectual Property rights. There is no Action pending nor, to the Knowledge of
BSC, threatened in writing against BSC or the Sellers concerning the foregoing. Neither BSC nor
any Seller is asserting rights in any of the Transferred Intellectual Property against any other
Person in any pending or threatened Action concerning the infringement, misappropriation or

any Assumed Liabilities described in Section 2.02(a)(iii) and shall not excuse the Purchaser from
its obligation under Section 8.03 to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for such Assumed

Property, (ii) no other representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall apply to
infringement, misappropriation or other violation of Intellectual Property and (iii) no other
representation or warranty, express or implied, is being made by BSC with respect to infringement,

after the Closing or the expiration of the relevant period for the statutes of limitations, the
Purchaser shall (i) retain the books and records relating to the Business relating to periods prior
to the Closing, and (ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the officers, employees, agents and
representatives of BSC or the Sellers reasonable access (including the right to make, at BSC’s
expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records; provided
that the Purchaser shall notify BSC at least 20 Business Days in advance of destroying any such
books and records in order to provide BSC the opportunity to copy such books and records in
accordance with this Section 5.02(b).

(c)    In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made by or against or incurred by the
Purchaser relating to the Business or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of seven years
after the Closing or the expiration of the relevant period for the statutes of limitations, BSC
shall (i) retain the books and records relating to the Business relating to periods prior to the
Closing which shall not otherwise have been delivered to the Purchaser and (ii) upon reasonable
notice, afford the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Purchaser reasonable
access (including the right to make, at the Purchaser’s expense, photocopies), during normal
business hours, to such books and records; provided that BSC shall notify the Purchaser at
least 20 Business Days in advance of destroying any such books and records in order to provide the
Purchaser the opportunity to copy such books and records in accordance with this Section 5.02(c).

51

 

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 5.02 shall not
apply to Tax Returns and related information (that are exclusively addressed in Section 5.14).

Section 5.03  Confidentiality. (a) The terms of the letter agreement dated as of April 5, 2010 (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”) between BSC and the Purchaser are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall
continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement
and the obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 5.03 shall terminate; provided that
the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate only in respect of that portion of the Evaluation
Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) relating to the Business. If this Agreement
is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall
nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

(b)    Nothing provided to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.02(a) shall in any way amend or
diminish the Purchaser’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement. The Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that any Evaluation Material provided to the Purchaser pursuant to Section
5.02(a) or otherwise by BSC, the Sellers or any officer, director, employee, agent, representative,
accountant or counsel thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality
Agreement.

Section 5.04  Regulatory and Other Authorizations. (a) Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain all
authorizations,
consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities and officials that may be or become
necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to,
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and will cooperate fully with the other party in
promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals, including
cooperation to enable the Purchaser to obtain, to the extent not included in the Purchased Assets,
all material Permits and Registrations necessary for the operation of the Business as currently
conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted and the ownership of the Purchased Assets.
Each party hereto agrees to make promptly (but in no event later than ten Business Days of the date
hereof) its respective filing, if necessary, pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to supply as promptly as practicable to the
appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may
be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Each party hereto agrees to make as promptly as practicable
its respective filings and notifications, if any, under any other applicable antitrust,
competition, or trade regulation Law (together with the HSR Act, the “Antitrust Laws”), to
supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional
information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the applicable Antitrust Law
and not to enter into any transaction prior to the Closing that would reasonably be expected to
make it more difficult, or increase the time required, to obtain any necessary consents or
approvals under such Laws.

(b)    Each party shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent reasonably
practicable, each will consult the other on, all information relating to the other and each of
their respective Affiliates that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted
to, any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the

52

 

transactions contemplated hereby; provided that materials may be redacted (x) to
remove references concerning the valuation of the Purchased Assets, (y) as necessary to comply with
contractual arrangements, and (z) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other
privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(c)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree to use their
reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law
that may be asserted by any antitrust or competition Governmental Authority or any other party so
as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as
practicable, and in any event prior to the End Date. In addition, the parties shall use their
reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by
any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or
judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing prior to the
End Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with the
receipt of any necessary approvals under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, neither the
Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to divest or hold separate any material
assets or business.

(d)    Each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it
or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance (and to consider any
comments made by the other party in relation to) any proposed communication by such party to any
Governmental Authority relating to such matters. Neither party to this Agreement shall participate
in or agree to participate in any substantive meeting, telephone call or discussion with any
Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of the
investigation), litigation or other inquiry relating to such matters unless it consults with the
other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other
party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, telephone call or discussion. The
parties to this Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such
information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection
with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including
under the HSR Act. Each party to this Agreement will provide the outside legal counsel for the
other party with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of
their representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on
the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided
that materials may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Purchased
Assets, (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (z) as necessary to address
reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(e)    Each party to this Agreement shall (i) subject to Section 5.04(d) above, respond as
promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries or requests for additional information and
documentary material received from any Governmental Authority in connection with any antitrust or
competition matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
(ii) not extend any waiting period or agree to refile under the HSR Act (except with the prior
written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) and (iii) not enter into any agreement with

53

 

any Governmental Authority agreeing not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

Section 5.05  Consents. (a) Each party hereto agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents,
approvals and authorizations not contemplated by Section 5.04 that may be required in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the parties further agree as set forth in Schedule 5.05.

(b)    Each party hereto agrees that, in the event that any consent, approval or authorization
necessary to preserve for the Business any right or benefit under any Contract to which BSC or any
Seller is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, BSC will, and will cause the Sellers to,
subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with the Purchaser in attempting to obtain such consent,
approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable. If such consent, approval or
authorization cannot be obtained, BSC shall, and shall cause the Sellers to, use their commercially
reasonable efforts to provide the Purchaser with the rights and benefits of the affected Contract
for the term of such Contract, and, if BSC and the Sellers provide such rights and benefits, the
Purchaser, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations and burdens thereunder to the same
extent provided in Schedule 2.02(a)(i) in respect of Transferred Contracts and to the extent the
obligations and burdens are not substantially different than the obligations and burdens on BSC or
Sellers under such Contract as of the Closing Date and do not include any Excluded Liabilities set
forth in Sections 2.02(b)(i) through (xiv).

Section 5.06  Retained Names and Marks. (a) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to the
“BOSTON
SCIENTIFIC”, “BSCI” and “BSC” names, together with all names that resemble the foregoing so as to
be likely to cause confusion or mistake or to deceive, and all trademarks, service marks, Internet
domain names, tag lines, logos, trade names, trade dress, packaging designs, media branding
designs, company names and other identifiers of source or goodwill containing or incorporating any
of the foregoing (collectively, the “Retained Names and Marks”) shall be retained by BSC or
any of its Affiliates, and that, except as expressly provided below, any and all right of the
Purchaser to use the Retained Names and Marks hereunder shall terminate as of the Closing and shall
immediately revert to BSC, along with any and all goodwill associated therewith. The Purchaser
further acknowledges that it is not acquiring any rights to use the Retained Names and Marks,
except as expressly provided herein.

(b)    After the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be entitled to use, solely in connection with
the operation of the Business as operated in all material respects immediately prior to the
Closing, all of its existing stocks of signs, letterheads, invoice stock, advertisements and
promotional materials, inventory, packaging and other documents and materials (“Existing
Stock”) containing the Retained Names and Marks, provided that the Purchaser shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to remove, or cease using the Retained Names and Marks (or in the
case of advertisements, promotional materials, inventory and packaging, over-label or re-sticker
such Existing Stock so as to conceal such Retained Names and Marks) as promptly as practicable
after the Closing. After the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (or until such
Existing Stock is exhausted in the case of the inventory of any Product for which the Retained
Names and Marks are embedded in such Product as part of the manufacturing process

54

 

and not reasonably capable of being stickered or labeled), the Purchaser shall have no right
to use the Retained Names and Marks hereunder and shall have removed or obliterated all Retained
Names and Marks from such Existing Stock or ceased using such Existing Stock (or in the case of
advertisements, promotional materials, inventory and packaging, shall have over-labeled or
re-stickered such Existing Stock so as to conceal such Retained Names and Marks).

(c)    Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.06, no other right to use the Retained
Names and Marks is granted by BSC to the Purchaser or its Affiliates whether by implication or
otherwise, and nothing hereunder permits the Purchaser or its Affiliates to use the Retained Names
and Marks in any manner other than in connection with Existing Stock. The Purchaser shall ensure
that all its uses of the Retained Names and Marks as provided in this Section 5.06 shall be only
with respect to goods and services of a level of quality commensurate with the quality of goods and
services with respect to which the Retained Names and Marks were used in the Business prior to the
Closing. Any and all goodwill generated by the use of the Retained Names and Marks under this
Section 5.06 shall inure solely to the benefit of BSC. The Purchaser or its Affiliates shall not
use the Retained Names and Marks hereunder in any manner that may damage or tarnish the reputation
of BSC or the goodwill associated with the Retained Names and Marks. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this Section 5.06 shall preclude the Purchaser and its Affiliates from keeping records
and other historical or archived documents containing or referencing the Retained Names and Marks
or referring to the historical fact that the Business was previously conducted under the Retained
Names and Marks, provided that with respect to any such reference, the Purchaser shall not use the
Retained Names and Marks to promote any products or services and the Purchaser shall make explicit
that the Business is no longer affiliated with BSC, the Sellers or any of their Affiliates.

(d)    The Purchaser agrees that BSC shall have no responsibility for claims by third parties
arising out of, or relating to, the use by the Purchaser of any Retained Names and Marks after the
Closing, except as provided under Article VIII. In addition to any and all other available
remedies, and except as provided pursuant to Article VIII, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold
harmless BSC and its Affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and
assigns, from and against any and all such claims that may arise out of the use of the Retained
Names and Marks by the Purchaser (i) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section
5.06, other than such claims that the Retained Names and Marks infringe the Intellectual Property
rights of any third party, or (ii) in violation of or outside the scope permitted by this Section
5.06. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser hereby
acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.06, BSC, in
addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to seek a preliminary injunction,
temporary restraining order or other equivalent relief restraining the Purchaser and any of its
Affiliates from any such breach or threatened breach.

Section 5.07  Notifications. Until the Closing, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any
fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is
aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any breach of a representation or warranty or
covenant of such party, which breach would reasonably be expected to result in any of the
conditions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement becoming incapable of being satisfied. The
delivery of notice pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies
available hereunder to the party

55

 

receiving such notice or the representations or warranties of the parties or the conditions to the
obligations of the parties hereto.

Section 5.08  Bulk Transfer Laws. Each party hereby waives compliance by the other parties with any applicable bulk sale or bulk
transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to the
Purchaser.

Section 5.09  Audited Special Purpose Financial Statements. BSC has retained Ernst & Young LLP to audit the unaudited special purpose
statement of assets to
be acquired and liabilities to be assumed of the Business for the fiscal years ended as of December
31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 and the related unaudited special purpose statements of revenue and
direct expenses of the Business and prior to the Closing shall (i) deliver to the Purchaser such
audited special purpose financial statements (the “Audited Special Purpose Financial
Statements”) and (ii) after the execution by the Purchaser of such reasonable acknowledgement
or non-reliance letters as BSC’s auditors may request, permit access to the work papers related
thereto; provided that any information in such workpapers not pertaining to the Business
shall be redacted prior to access by the Purchaser of such workpapers (provided that such redaction
shall not impair any information pertaining to the Business).

Section 5.10  Non-Solicitation. (a) BSC shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of
the Purchaser or except as expressly provided in any Ancillary Agreement, for a period of 18 months
from the applicable Employee Transfer Date, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire
any Transferred Employee whose employment was transferred as of such Employee Transfer Date;
provided that (i) BSC and its Affiliates are not prohibited from employing any such person
who contacts BSC or any such Affiliate on his or her own initiative and without any direct or
indirect solicitation by BSC or such Affiliate, and (ii) the term “solicit for employment” shall
not be deemed to include general solicitations of employment not specifically directed toward any
such Person.

(b)    The Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written
consent of BSC or except as expressly provided in any Ancillary Agreement, for a period of (x)
except as otherwise provided in clause (y) below, 18 months from the Closing Date in the case of
clause (I) below and 12 months from the Closing Date in the case of clause (II) below, directly or
indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any individual who is employed by BSC or any of its
Affiliates as of the date hereof (or at any time during such period) and (I) becomes known to the
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, agent or advisor of the
Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
Ancillary Agreements or (II) is recommended as a potential employee of the Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates (who, when hired, would be classified as a Manager or above in the Purchaser’s human
resources system) by any of the individuals who received a Special Retention Bonus Program
Participation Notice as described in Section 6.03 of the Disclosure Schedule, to the individual
with responsibility for hiring decisions on behalf of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (y)
18 months from the Cork Manufacturing Transfer Date, the Fremont Manufacturing Transfer Date or the
West Valley Manufacturing Transfer Date (as applicable), directly or indirectly, solicit for
employment or hire any individual (other than the Transferred Employees) who (A) is employed in the
Cork Facility or the Fremont manufacturing facility by BSC or any of its Affiliates as of the Cork
Manufacturing Transfer Date or the Fremont

56

 

Manufacturing Transfer Date, respectively, or (B) was employed in the West Valley Facility
prior to the West Valley Manufacturing Transfer Date and is employed elsewhere by BSC or any of its
Affiliates as of the West Valley Manufacturing Transfer Date; provided that (i) the
Purchaser and its Affiliates are not prohibited from employing any such person who contacts the
Purchaser or any such Affiliate on his or her own initiative and without any direct or indirect
solicitation by the Purchaser or such Affiliate, and (ii) the term “solicit for employment” or
“solicitation” shall not be deemed to include general solicitations of employment not specifically
directed toward any such person.

Section 5.11  Non-Competition (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in any of the Ancillary Agreements, for a period
of three years after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not
to, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world, use in the Restricted Areas, except in those
Restricted Areas described in clauses (d), (f) and (h) of the definition of Restricted Areas, any
of (i) the products set forth on Schedules A through C to the Technology Transfer Agreement,
including as improved during such three year period, (ii) the Transferred Intellectual Property,
(iii) the Intellectual Property provided under the Transferred IP Agreements or (iv) the
Transferred Products Know-how (which, as used in this Section 5.11(a), has the meaning assigned to
it in the Technology Transfer Agreement) licensed under the Technology Transfer Agreement.

(b)    Except as otherwise specifically provided in any of the Ancillary Agreements, for either
(x) a period of five years after the Closing Date or (y) a period of three years after the last
Facility Transfer Date, whichever is longer, BSC shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to,
directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world, engage in the Business or, without the prior written
consent of the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, own an interest in, manage, operate, join,
control or participate in or be connected with, as a member, agent, partner, stockholder or
investor, any Person anywhere that engages in the Business; provided that, for the purposes
of this Section 5.11(b), (i) the ownership of securities having no more than five percent of the
outstanding voting power of any such Person which are listed on any national securities exchange
shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Section 5.11(b) as long as BSC and its Affiliates
have no other connection or relationship with such Person, (ii) the ownership of no more than ten
(10) percent of the outstanding ownership interest in any fund which invests in, manages or
operates such Person shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Section 5.11(b) so long as (A)
the principal purpose of such fund is not to make investments in Persons that engage in the
Business, and (B) BSC or the Affiliate thereof owning such interest does not control or exercise
any influence over such Person, and (ii) BSC and its Affiliates shall not be prohibited from
acquiring shares of capital stock or assets of any Person (an “Acquired Business”) that has
operations that would otherwise be restricted under this Section 5.11(b) or from continuing to
operate such Acquired Business if (A) the primary purpose or effect of such acquisition shall not
be for BSC or its Affiliates to engage in the Business, (B) the Acquired Business is not primarily
engaged in any business that engages in the Business, and (C) either (x) the annual net revenues of
the portion of the Acquired Business that engages in the Business do not exceed $30 million for the
most recently completed fiscal year of the Acquired Business prior to such acquisition or (y) if
the annual net revenues of the portion of the Acquired Business that engages in the Business exceed
$30 million for the most recently completed fiscal year or in any twelve (12) month period ending
after the Closing Date (but prior to the expiration of the period set forth in the preceding
sentence), BSC and its Affiliates shall sell or otherwise dispose of that portion of

57

 

the Acquired Business that engages in the Business no later than twelve (12) months after
either the date of such acquisition or the last day of the last month of the twelve month period in
which the aggregate net revenues of the portion of the Acquired Business that engaged in the
Business exceeded $30 million, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in
this Section 5.11(b) shall apply to any Person or its Affiliates (other than BSC and its Affiliates
prior to the date of acquisition (and their respective assets however held)) that acquires a
majority of the capital stock of BSC and that prior to such acquisition already was engaged in the
Business.

(c)    If any covenant in this Section 5.11 is found to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any
situation in any jurisdiction by a final determination of a court or any other Governmental
Authority of competent jurisdiction, the parties agree that: (i) such determination will not affect
the validity or enforceability of (A) the offending term or provision in any other situation or in
any other jurisdiction or (B) the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 5.11 in any
situation in any jurisdiction; (ii) the offending term or provision will be reformed rather than
voided and the court or Governmental Authority making such determination will have the power to
reduce the scope, duration or geographical area of any invalid or unenforceable term or provision,
to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision
with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the
intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision, in order to render the restrictive covenants
set forth in this Section 5.11 enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; and
(iii) the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5.11 will be enforceable as so modified.

(d)    Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall prevent Purchaser or its Affiliates from reprocessing
any medical device for any purpose for use in any field; provided that the foregoing shall
not permit the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to market or promote any Product described in
clause (i) of Section 5.11(a) in a manner that violates Section 5.11(a).

Section 5.12  Collection of Accounts Receivables; Inventory.

(a)    To the extent any amounts with respect to Accounts Receivable are received by the
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates that arise from the conduct of the Business prior to 11:59 pm on
the day immediately preceding the Closing Date or by BSC or any of its Affiliates that arise from
the conduct of the Business after such time, the Purchaser or BSC, as the case may be, shall
promptly remit such amounts to the other.

(b)    BSC covenants and agrees that the value of gross finished goods inventory included in the
Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date, determined in a manner consistent with the Unaudited
Special Purpose Financial Statements, shall not be less than the amount set forth on Schedule
5.12(b).

Section 5.13  Further Action. The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable Law, the Transferred Contracts or otherwise, and to execute and deliver such documents
and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate
and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

58

 

Section 5.14  Tax Cooperation and Exchange of Information. BSC and the Purchaser will provide each other with such cooperation and
information as either of
them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for
refund, determining any liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes or participating in or
conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes relating to this Agreement, the
Purchased Assets or the Business. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies
of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules and related work
papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing authorities;
provided that in no event shall BSC or the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates
be required to provide access to or copies of any income Tax Returns of BSC, the Purchaser, or any
such Affiliate including the Sellers. BSC and the Purchaser will make themselves (and their
respective employees) available, on a mutually convenient basis, to provide explanations of any
documents or information provided under this Section 5.14. Each of BSC and the Purchaser will
retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material records or other documents in
its possession (or in the possession of its Affiliates) relating to Tax matters relevant to the
Purchased Assets for the taxable period first ending after the Closing and for all prior taxable
periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods
to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions, or (ii) six
years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. After such time, before BSC
or the Purchaser shall dispose of any such documents in its possession (or in the possession of its
Affiliates), the other party shall be given the opportunity, after 90 days’ prior written notice,
to remove and retain all or any part of such documents as such other party may select (at such
other party’s expense). Any information obtained under this Section 5.14 shall be kept
confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or
claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding. Any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in furnishing such information or assistance pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall be borne
by the party requesting it.

Section 5.15  Conveyance Taxes. Conveyance Taxes attributable to the sale of the Purchased Assets or the Business shall be borne
fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by BSC and the Sellers when due.
Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall complete and execute a resale or other exemption
certificate with respect to inventory and similar items sold hereunder, and shall provide the other
party with an executed copy thereof. BSC, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall use reasonable
efforts and cooperate in good faith to exempt the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets from
any such Conveyance Taxes. The Purchaser, BSC and the Sellers shall cooperate in the preparation
and filing of all necessary Tax Returns or other documents with respect to all such Conveyance
Taxes; provided, however, that in the event any such Tax Return requires execution by any
Seller, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to such Seller a copy of such Tax Return at least
five (5) days before the due date thereof, and such Seller shall promptly execute such Tax Return
and deliver it to the Purchaser, which shall cause it to be filed. The parties shall provide
reimbursement for any Tax described in this Section 5.15 that is paid by the other parties as may
be necessary such that the Purchaser, on the one hand, and BSC and the Sellers, on the other each
pay fifty percent (50%) of such Conveyance Taxes.

Section 5.16  VAT and Recoverable Taxes. Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Recoverable Taxes shall be borne entirely by the
party entitled to

59

 

recover such Taxes under applicable Law. VAT, to the extent not considered Recoverable Taxes,
shall be paid by the Purchaser on any supplies effected for VAT purposes under or pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.16. The Purchaser, BSC
and the Sellers shall cooperate to file any Tax Return relating to VAT or Recoverable Taxes, to the
extent necessary. To the extent that any VAT is chargeable on any Purchased Assets transferred
pursuant to this Agreement, the transferring person (the “Supplier”) shall deliver to the
recipient (the “Recipient”): (i) a valid VAT invoice where required by applicable Law or
practice and (ii) any other documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Recipient to assist
it to recover the VAT chargeable or payable, in each case, in such form and within such timing as
may be required by Law. An amount equal to the amount of VAT chargeable or payable by the Supplier
on the Purchased Assets transferred shall be paid in addition to the consideration provided in this
Agreement, by the Recipient to the Supplier within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a valid VAT
invoice (or where no invoice is required, within five (5) Business Days of demand) or, if later,
two (2) Business Days before the date on which the obligation to account for VAT would have had to
be discharged in order to avoid liability to interest or a charge or penalty. The Supplier shall
account for all amounts in respect of VAT paid to it by the Recipient to the appropriate Tax
Authorities in compliance with applicable Laws. The Supplier and the Recipient shall use
reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to determine the appropriate rate of VAT and to
exempt the transfer of the Purchased Assets from any VAT and/or, where available, to apply for a
specific VAT-relief for a “Transfer Of a Going Concern” (TOGC). This shall include, but not be
limited to, cooperation to ensure that the transfer of the Purchased Assets is treated as the
transfer of a business or part thereof under Articles 19 and 29 of the VAT Directive (2006/112/EC)
and is not a supply of goods or the supply of services. In the event that VAT is incorrectly
charged by the Supplier, and the Supplier is entitled to recover the amount of incorrectly charged
VAT, the Supplier shall use its reasonable best efforts to recover such amount and shall pay such
recovered amount over to the Recipient within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 5.17  Proration of Taxes. Except as provided in Section 5.15 or 5.16, the portion of any Tax payable with respect to a
Straddle Period that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date
or Facility Transfer Date applicable to the Purchased Asset or Transferred Employee (or, with
respect to any Deferred Asset or Deferred Closing Transfer Employee, the applicable Deferred
Closing Date) shall be (i) in the case of property and similar ad valorem Taxes and any other Taxes
not described in clause (ii) below relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, equal to the
amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that fall on or prior to the Closing Date,
Facility Transfer Date or Deferred Closing Date, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the
number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of sales and similar Taxes,
employment Taxes and other Taxes that are readily apportionable based on an actual or deemed
closing of the books relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, computed as if such taxable
period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date or Facility Transfer Date applicable
to the Purchased Asset or Transferred Employee or, with respect to any Deferred Asset or Deferred
Closing Transfer Employee, the applicable Deferred Closing Date. If any Taxes subject to proration
pursuant to the preceding sentence are paid by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the one hand, or
BSC or its Affiliates, on the other hand, then the proportionate amount of such Taxes for which the
non-paying party is responsible under the terms of this

60

 

Agreement
shall be promptly reimbursed to the paying party by the non-paying party after the payment of such Taxes. Any
refunds, credits or similar benefits relating to such Taxes shall be allocated between the
Purchaser and BSC in the same manner that the Taxes to which the refunds, credits or similar
benefits relate were paid, and BSC shall promptly pay to the Purchaser, or the Purchaser shall
promptly pay to BSC, as the case may be, the portion of such refund, credit or similar benefit
received or realized that is allocable to the other party hereunder.

Section 5.18  BSC Compensation Tax Items. (a) BSC and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that BSC and its Affiliates will take into
account any BSC Compensation Tax Items in computing liability for U.S. federal, state and local
income Taxes (and shall be responsible for all withholding and information reporting with respect
to such amounts), and that neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates will take into account
any such BSC Compensation Tax Items in computing liability for such Taxes except as provided in
this Section 5.18 or as otherwise required by applicable Law. The same approach shall be followed
for purposes of computing liability for Taxes outside the United States, except to the extent the
Laws of a particular jurisdiction provide to the contrary. 

(b)    If BSC determines that, under applicable Law, neither BSC nor any of its Affiliates is
permitted to take into account any BSC Compensation Tax Item, and the Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates determines in good faith that it is permitted or required to take into account such BSC
Compensation Tax Item in computing its income Tax liability, which determination shall be
conclusive and binding on the parties, then the Purchaser shall calculate in good faith and pay to
BSC the amount of any actual income Tax savings realized in the year such BSC Compensation Tax Item
is taken into account as a result of the BSC Compensation Tax Item, it being understood that an
actual income Tax saving shall only be treated as occurring in a year to the extent that the
Purchaser’s actual income Tax payable in respect of such year without taking the BSC Compensation
Tax Item into account is greater than the amount of actual income tax that would have been payable
in such year had such BSC Compensation Tax Item not been taken into account. The Purchaser shall
make such payment, reduced by all expenses (including any employment Taxes) incurred by the
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Section 5.18, to BSC, and provide BSC
with copies of the calculations of such actual income Tax savings, within ninety (90) days
following the filing of the Purchaser’s income tax Return for the year in which such BSC
Compensation Tax Item is realized. The Purchaser’s calculation of such Tax savings shall be
binding and conclusive on the parties in the absence of manifest error. In the event that the
Purchaser’s deduction of any BSC Compensation Tax Item is disallowed by any Governmental Authority
in any audit, litigation, proceeding or otherwise, BSC shall repay to Purchaser the amount
Purchaser determines it had previously paid to BSC in respect of such disallowed BSC Compensation
Tax Item, together with any penalty, interest or other charges imposed by any Governmental
Authority in connection with such disallowance and any other out of pocket expenses incurred by the
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

(c)    In connection with any BSC Compensation Tax Items, BSC and the Purchaser agree to provide
each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the
other, as provided under Section 5.14, which cooperation shall include providing information with
respect to information reporting and withholding requirements applicable to the exercise by
Transferred Employees and Former Employees of

61

 

options to acquire BSC capital stock and the coordination of the responsible party for such
reporting and withholding requirements.

Section 5.19  Tax Treatment of Deferred Transfers. The parties agree that (i) with respect to any Purchased Asset that is to be
transferred to the
Purchaser pursuant to the Separation Agreement and (ii) with respect to any Deferred Asset that is
to be transferred to the Purchaser on a Deferred Closing Date, a completed sale shall not be
treated as occurring for Tax purposes until the relevant Facility Transfer Date or Deferred Closing
Date, as applicable, on which legal title to the Purchased Asset passes to the Purchaser. Neither
the Purchaser nor BSC shall take (or cause any Affiliate to take) any position to the contrary in
any Tax Return or other Tax filing, or in connection with a Tax audit, litigation or other
proceeding.

Section 5.20  Successor Employer. BSC, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall, to the extent possible, treat the Purchaser as a
“successor employer” and BSC and the Sellers as “predecessors,” within the meaning of Sections
3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to Transferred Employees for purposes of Taxes
imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act, as amended, or the United States
Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended. Each of the Purchaser, BSC and the Sellers agrees
to adopt the “Standard Procedure” described in IRS Revenue Procedure 2004-53 and furnish a separate
IRS Form W-2 to each Transferred Employee with respect to wages paid by the Purchaser, on the one
hand, and BSC and the Sellers, on the other.

Section 5.21  Risk of Loss. The risk of loss or damage by fire or other casualty to any of the Transferred Sites or Tangible
Personal Property before the Closing is assumed by BSC. In the event that any of the Transferred
Sites or Tangible Personal Property shall suffer any fire or casualty or any injury before the
Closing, BSC agrees to (i) repair the damage (or cause the damage to be repaired by a landlord, as
applicable) at its sole cost and expense before the Closing Date, (ii) assign to the Purchaser the
proceeds of all insurance coverage in respect of such loss so long as such proceeds are a
reasonable approximation of the cost of such repairs, or (iii) make an appropriate reduction in the
Initial Purchase Price based on a reasonable approximation of the cost of such repair. Except as
otherwise provided in the Separation Agreement, the risk of loss or damage by fire or other
casualty to any of the Transferred Sites or Tangible Personal Property after the Closing is assumed
by the Purchaser.

Section 5.22  Intercompany Arrangements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (other than pursuant to
any Ancillary Agreement) as of the Closing, all services, commitments, agreements or other
arrangements that existed prior to the Closing between BSC and any Seller or any other Affiliate of
BSC with respect to the Business shall cease or be terminated. Any such cessation or termination
shall be without penalty to, and shall not require any action by, the Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates.

Section 5.23  Mixed Contracts. Except as may otherwise be agreed by the parties in writing, any Contract (other than any
Transferred Contract) to which BSC or any Seller is a party prior to the Closing, in each case,
that inures to the benefit or burden of each of the Business and the BSC Other Businesses,
including those Contracts listed on Schedule 5.23 of the Disclosure Schedule (a “Mixed
Contract”), shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, be separated on or after the Closing
so that each of the Purchaser and BSC shall be entitled to the

62

 

rights and benefits and shall assume the related portion of any Liabilities inuring to their
respective businesses. If any Mixed Contract cannot be so separated, BSC and the Purchaser shall,
and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, take such other commercially reasonable
efforts to cause (i) the rights and benefits associated with that portion of each Mixed Contract
that relates to the Business to be enjoyed by the Purchaser; (ii) the Liabilities associated with
that portion of each Mixed Contract that relates to the Business to be borne by the Purchaser;
(iii) the rights and benefits associated with that portion of each Mixed Contract that relates to
the BSC Other Businesses to be enjoyed by BSC; and (iv) the Liabilities associated with that
portion of each Mixed Contract that relates to the BSC Other Businesses to be borne by BSC. The
costs of such separation shall be borne by the parties in proportion to the rights and benefits
inuring to each of them under the Mixed Contract. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Liabilities to be borne by the Purchaser under any Mixed Contracts hereunder
shall not include and the Purchaser shall not assume or have any responsibility for, and BSC shall,
and shall cause the Sellers to, retain and be responsible for paying, performing and discharging
when due, any Excluded Liabilities set forth in Sections 2.02(b)(i) through (xiv).

Section 5.24  Schedules and Exhibits to Certain Ancillary Agreements; OUS Transfer Agreements. (a) The parties acknowledge that the
schedules and exhibits specified in Schedule 5.24(a) that
are attached to the forms of the Separation Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the
Supply Agreement and the Sales Agent Agreement are subject to modification between the date hereof
and the Closing Date to the extent agreed by the parties, including to provide for greater detail
or specificity regarding the subject matter thereof. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith
any such modifications to such schedules and exhibits prior to the Closing Date; provided
that the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, subject to their compliance with such
obligation to negotiate in good faith, failure to agree on any modifications to such schedules and
exhibits will not excuse either party from the performance of any of its obligations hereunder,
including its obligation to effect the Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in Article VII.

(b)    BSC and the Purchaser agree to negotiate in good faith to make any changes necessary to
the form of OUS Transfer Agreement attached hereto to conform to applicable local Law, provided
that the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not
affected by such changes. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any OUS
Transfer Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail; provided that in the case of
any inconsistency that relates solely to the timing and specific terms of the transfer of title to
one or more Purchased Assets in a particular jurisdiction, the OUS Transfer Agreement in that
particular jurisdiction shall prevail.

Section 5.25  IP Docket; Assignment Documents. (a) Prior to the Closing, BSC shall provide the Purchaser with a schedule that lists
all
of the
registration, maintenance, annuity and renewal fees, and corresponding due dates, that must be paid
in order to maintain the Transferred Intellectual Property during the sixty (60) day period
following the Closing. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, BSC shall also deliver to
the Purchaser all information and documents in its possession, including all reasonably available
electronically stored information and documents, for the Purchaser to maintain continuity of
prosecution of all pending applications within the Transferred Intellectual Property.

63

 

(b)    Following the Closing Date and upon the written request of the Purchaser, BSC hereby
agrees, at its sole expense, to use and shall cause its Sellers to use commercially reasonable
efforts to promptly obtain and deliver to Purchaser any existing patent assignment or other
documents demonstrating ownership by BSC or a Seller of the Transferred Intellectual Property, to
the extent not already provided pursuant to Section 2.06(d).

Section 5.26  Additional Patents. (a) The Purchaser shall within ten (10) years following the Closing Date, notify BSC in
writing
of any patent issued, or patent application filed, prior to the Closing Date owned by or licensed
to BSC or the Sellers as of the Closing Date that: (x) is neither included in the Business
Intellectual Property, nor licensed to the Purchaser pursuant to the Seller IP License Agreement;
and (y) the Purchaser determines may be infringed by the import, use, manufacture, offer to sell or
sale of (“Covers”) a Transferred Product (which, as used in this Section 5.26, has the
meaning assigned to it in the Technology Transfer Agreement), as such Transferred Product exists
in, or is used or made by, the Business as conducted by BSC or the Sellers as of the Closing Date.
The rights in any such patent or patent issuing from such application, as between the Parties,
shall be assessed as follows:

(i) if any claim of such patent Covers a Transferred Product, or method of using
or making a Transferred Product, as such Transferred Product exists in, or is used or
made by, the Business as conducted by BSC or the Sellers as of the Closing Date, and
does not also Cover another commercialized or development phase device, or the using
or making of such a device, of BSC or any of its Affiliates existing on or before the
Closing Date, then BSC and the Purchaser shall promptly execute (1) an assignment
transferring ownership of or the license to such patent to the Purchaser, and (2) an
amendment to the Purchaser IP License Agreement adding such patent as a Licensed
Patent or Third Party Licensed Patent thereunder, as applicable, which assignment and
amendment will be effective as of the Closing Date;

(ii) if any claim of such patent Covers a Transferred Product, or method of
using or making a Transferred Product, as such Transferred Product exists in, or is
used or made by, the Business as conducted by BSC or the Sellers of the Closing Date,
and also Covers another commercialized or development phase device, or the using or
making of such a device, of BSC or any of its Affiliates existing on or before the
Closing Date, then such patent will be added to Schedule A or C of the Seller IP
License Agreement, as applicable, and BSC and the Purchaser shall promptly execute an
amendment to the Seller IP License Agreement, which amendment will be effective as of
the Closing Date; and

(iii) if no claim of such patent Covers a Transferred Product, or method of
using or making a Transferred Product, as such Transferred Product exists in, or is
used or made by, the Business as conducted by BSC or the Sellers as of the Closing
Date, then BSC or the Seller shall retain the exclusive right, title and interest in
any such patent.

64

 

(b)    If a dispute arises under this Section 5.26, regarding (i) whether or not the patent or
patent application identified by the Purchaser Covers a Transferred Product, as such Transferred
Product exists in, or is used or made by, the Business as conducted by BSC or the Sellers as of the
Closing Date; and, if so, (ii) whether or not any claim of any such patent satisfies any one of
clauses (i) – (iii) of this Section 5.26, that dispute, as well as the selection of a single
arbitrator to arbitrate the dispute, will be arbitrated before the American Arbitration Association
in Delaware under their Resolution of Patent Disputes rules in a binding, non-appealable
arbitration proceeding.

(c)    If BSC or any of the Sellers chooses or is required by an arbitrator to assign or license
the rights to a patent or patent issuing from an application to the Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 5.26, then (i) BSC and the Sellers shall have no liability (x) for failure of such
identified patents or applications to be so included in the Business Intellectual Property or
licensed pursuant to the Seller IP License Agreement, or (y) arising out of BSC’s or the Sellers’
use or encumbering of such identified patents or applications prior to receipt of such written
notice from the Purchaser, (ii) such assignment or license shall only be granted to the fullest
extent (if any) that BSC and the Sellers have the right to grant such assignment or (sub)license as
of the date of such assessment, and (iii) any royalties or fees paid or payable to BSC or any of
the Sellers by any third party following the Closing Date for a license or transfer of any other
interest, to the extent such royalties or fees are directly attributable to the practice by such
third party of a claim of or the transfer of, as applicable, any patent that is required to be
assigned (but not licensed) to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.26, shall be paid to the
Purchaser as of the date of notice given to BSC by the Purchaser.

ARTICLE VI

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 6.01  Offers of Employment and Automatic Transfers. (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Transition Services
Agreement, (i) as of each
applicable Employee Transfer Date, the Purchaser shall, solely as required by applicable Transfer
Law, automatically become the employer of the Corresponding Transfer Date Employees and (ii) as of
each applicable Employee Transfer Date, and subject to (A) Purchaser’s satisfactory completion of
reasonable drug testing and reasonable criminal background check screening and (B) OIG debar
checking, sales representative credentialing and work authorization (including to Form I-9
documentation), as applicable and reasonably necessary, (C) execution of
non-compete/confidentiality agreements with terms no more restrictive to the applicable employee
than those currently in effect with respect to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser and
(D) any other documents as required by applicable Law to effect employment (collectively, the
“Purchaser’s Employment Contingencies”), the Purchaser shall offer employment to the
Corresponding Transfer Date Employees whose employment is not required to be transferred
automatically pursuant to Transfer Law. In the event that the Purchaser intends not to offer
employment to a Corresponding Transfer Date Employee due to a purported failure by such
Corresponding Transfer Date Employee to satisfy the Purchaser’s Employment Contingencies, then the
Purchaser shall promptly inform BSC in writing of such intention and the specific grounds therefor,
and shall consider in good faith any objection BSC may have to the

65

 

Purchaser not offering employment to such Corresponding Transfer Date Employee. Such offer or
transfer of employment initially shall be, subject to applicable Law, at salary or other base
compensation rate (including sales commission rates) that is no less favorable to such Employee
than the rate in effect immediately prior to such applicable Employee Transfer Date. In addition,
the Purchaser shall offer employment at a location that is no more than thirty-five (35) miles from
the employee’s principal place of work immediately prior to the applicable Employee Transfer Date.
The Purchaser shall commence and conclude all activities necessary to effectuate satisfaction of
the Purchaser Employment Contingencies with respect to the Corresponding Transfer Date Employees
whose employment is not required to be transferred automatically pursuant to Transfer Law at its
own cost and within the sixty (60) days prior to the applicable Employee Transfer Date or, solely
with respect to the Closing Transfer Employees, within the period of time commencing on the date
hereof and concluding on the Closing, provided that BSC and the Sellers shall have provided access
to the applicable Corresponding Transfer Date Employees, and all employment records and files
relating thereto, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the applicable Employee Transfer Date and,
solely with respect to the Closing Transfer Employees, shall have provided to the Purchaser
immediately following the date hereof, access to the Closing Transfer Employees, and all employment
records and files relating thereto. BSC and the Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to
cause the Corresponding Transfer Date Employees to accept such offers of employment that are
required to be made by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.01(a). In the event that the
Purchaser fails to comply with any of the requirements of this Section 6.01(a), other than to the
extent such failure is attributable to the failure of BSC or its Affiliates to comply with
applicable Transfer Laws or the provisions of Section 6.01(b) or the Transition Services Agreement,
the Purchaser shall be responsible for and indemnify, defend and hold harmless BSC and its
Affiliates against any cost, obligation or liability arising therefrom under WARN (or any
comparable non-U.S. Law) and the BSC Severance Pay and Layoff Notification Plan, as Amended and
Restated, effective as of August 1, 2008, or any other applicable Plan; provided that BSC
and its Affiliates shall be responsible for and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser
against any cost, obligation or liability to the extent attributable to a failure of BSC or its
Affiliates to comply with applicable Transfer Law or the provisions of Section 6.01(b) or the
Transition Services Agreement or arising from the inability of any applicant or employee to meet
the Purchaser’s Employment Contingencies to the Purchaser’s satisfaction, including any claims
brought by individuals for failure to become employed or continue in employment with the
Purchaser’s Employment Contingencies. As used herein, “Transferred Employee” means each
Corresponding Transfer Date Employee who accepts such offer or whose employment transfers
automatically under applicable Transfer Laws and who, in either case, actually commences employment
with the Purchaser as of the applicable Employee Transfer Date. With respect to any employee who
is on short-term disability leave, workers’ compensation leave, or other authorized leave of
absence as of the date of the applicable Employee Transfer Date and who accepts such offer of
employment with the Purchaser or whose employment transfers automatically, such employment with the
Purchaser shall commence and such employee shall become a Transferred Employee as of the date of
such employee returns to active employment, subject to applicable Law.

(b)    Cooperation. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other as may
be or may become required, necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement, the Transition
Services Agreement or applicable Law, including applicable Transfer Law, to consummate and make
effective the transactions contemplated hereby, or as may be agreed to by

66

 

the parties hereof, including assistance in any meeting with, filing with or notification to,
or obtaining any consent, authorization, order or approval of, (i) any Corresponding Transfer Date
Employee, (ii) any works council, labor union, or employee representative, or (iii) any
Governmental Authority. BSC and the Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchaser in the Purchaser’s
recruitment of the Corresponding Transfer Date Employees, including (x) permitting the Purchaser
reasonable and prompt access to the Corresponding Transfer Date Employees to communicate to such
employees any information concerning employment offers and employment with the Purchaser in
accordance with this Agreement, (y) providing on a timely basis any notices required of BSC or its
Affiliates under applicable Transfer Law and, to the extent such notice addresses matters effective
after the applicable Employee Transfer Date, consulting with Purchaser in respect thereof and (z)
subject to applicable Law, providing prompt access to personnel files, organizational succession
planning, talent review and development planning documents of such employees. BSC and the Sellers
shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain favorable relations with the Corresponding Transfer
Date Employees from the date hereof up to and including the applicable Employee Transfer Date,
including taking all steps reasonably necessary to retain the services and goodwill of each such
employee, and shall refrain from taking any action that could harm or damage relations with the
Corresponding Transfer Date Employees or that could cause any such employee to terminate the
employee’s service with BSC or any Seller prior to the applicable Corresponding Transfer Date;
provided that nothing herein shall be construed as preventing BSC from enforcing its
employment policies against Corresponding Transfer Date Employees in accordance with its customary
practices.

          Section 6.02  Employee Benefits. (a) Except as contemplated by Section 6.03 or the Transition Services Agreement, as of the
applicable Employee Transfer Date, each Transferred Employee shall cease to be covered under the
Plans. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Transition Services Agreement, as of the
applicable Employee Transfer Date, the Transferred Employees shall be covered by the employee
benefit plans of the Purchaser. For a period from the date of the applicable Employee Transfer
Date until eighteen (18) months following such date, the Purchaser shall provide the Transferred
Employees (i) who are employed in the United States by the Purchaser with a level of employee
benefits substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to similarly
situated employees of the Seller, and (ii) who are employed by the Purchaser outside the United
States with a level of employee benefits substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee
benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser, provided that, in the case of
either (i) or (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, “employee benefits,” as used herein, shall not
include any bonus or incentive compensation benefits.

(b)    (i) Provided that BSC’s incentive and bonus plans applicable to the Transferred Employees
who will be employed by the Purchaser are listed in Section 6.02(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule
(the “Incentive Plans”), the Purchaser shall honor the percentage of target amount for each
Transferred Employee, under the terms of the Incentive Plans (A) with respect to Closing Transfer
Employees, through December 31, 2011, (B) with respect to the Cork Transfer Employees, the Fremont
Transfer Employees, the West Valley Transfer Employees, the Deferred Closing Transfer Employees and
the Delayed Transfer Employees, if the applicable Employee Transfer Date has occurred on or prior
to September 30 of a given calendar year, through the end of such calendar year, and (C) with
respect to the Cork Transfer Employees, the Fremont Transfer Employees, the West Valley Transfer
Employees, the Deferred Closing

67

 

Transfer Employees and the Delayed Transfer Employees, if the applicable Employee Transfer
Date has occurred on or following October 1 of a given calendar year, through the end of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable Employee Transfer Date occurred
(in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C) hereof, the “Incentive Compensation Continuation
Period”). The Purchaser shall be responsible for payments that are earned by the applicable
Transferred Employees pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plans during the Incentive
Compensation Continuation Period, even if any such payment is required to be made during the year
following such Incentive Compensation Continuation Period. Following such Incentive Compensation
Continuation Period, the applicable Transferred Employees shall be covered under a bonus or
incentive plan of the Purchaser that is provided to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser
to the extent applicable.

(ii) An amount equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate
target incentive pool for the Business as set forth in the The BSC 2010 Performance
Incentive Plan (the “PIP”) for the 2010 fiscal year attributable to each
Closing Transfer Employee on Section 6.02(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule (the
“2010 Bonus Pool”) shall be paid to the Closing Transfer Employees
identified on Section 6.02(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule. BSC shall pay a
percentage portion of the 2010 Bonus Pool equal to the greater of (i) fifty percent
(50%) and (ii) a percentage equal to the percentage of the 2010 Bonus Pool that
would be earned by the Closing Transfer Employees based on actual performance as
determined in good faith following the end of the PIP performance year by BSC in its
sole discretion, and, to the extent not paid by BSC, on or before March 15, 2011,
the Purchaser shall pay (or shall cause one of its Affiliates to pay) the remainder,
provided that, in no event shall Purchaser be responsible for paying in excess of
fifty percent (50%) of the target bonus amount designated for each Closing Transfer
Employee on Section 6.02(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule. No later than March 2,
2011, BSC shall provide Purchaser with a list of each Closing Transfer Employee on
Section 6.02(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule and the corresponding amount of bonus
that has been paid by BSC to such Closing Transfer Employee and the amount of bonus
to be paid by Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.02(b)(ii) shall
apply only to those Closing Transfer Employees identified on Section 6.02(b)(ii) of
the Disclosure Schedule and no other Transferred Employees and shall apply in
respect of 2010 only, and except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.02(b) or
the Transition Services Agreement, neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall have
any obligation in respect of wage payments to Transferred Employees in respect of
the period preceding the Closing.

(iii) With respect to payments due under any sales retention bonus program of
BSC or its Affiliates that is identified on Section 6.02(b)(iii) of the Disclosure
Schedule, the Purchaser shall make payments to Transferred Employees, as and when
they otherwise become due under such program following the Closing Date, equal to
the amount otherwise due under such program (exclusive of amounts attributable to
fringe or similar benefits) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days in the applicable retention period following the Closing Date and the
denominator of

68

 

 which is the number of days in the retention period; provided that in
no event shall the aggregate bonus amount on which Purchaser’s payment obligation
under this Section 6.02(b)(iii) is determined (before application of the proration
fraction described in the preceding provisions of this Section 6.02(b)(iii)) exceed
$2,150,000.

(c)    For a period from the date of the applicable Employee Transfer Date until twelve (12)
months following such date (the “Severance Plan Continuation Period”), the Purchaser shall
honor the terms of the severance plans applicable to the Transferred Employees who are employed by
the Purchaser, provided that such plans are listed in Section 6.02(c) of the Disclosure Schedule,
and following such Severance Plan Continuation Period, the applicable Transferred Employees shall
be covered under a severance plan of the Purchaser that is provided to similarly situated employees
of the Purchaser, to the extent applicable.

(d)    Each Transferred Employee shall (without prejudice to any rights under relevant Transfer
Laws or other applicable Laws relating to deemed continuity of service) receive credit for services
with BSC and its Affiliates and predecessors under the Purchaser’s employee benefit plans to the
extent of participation therein for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual solely to
the extent such credit was provided to such Transferred Employee under the applicable Plan as of
immediately prior to the applicable Employee Transfer Date and provided that in no event
shall such service be credited to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits or the
funding thereof, or cause a Transferred Employee to receive any benefit whatsoever other than
additional eligibility, vesting or benefit accrual service credits under Purchaser’s employee
benefit plans (to the extent of participation therein), to the extent applicable.

          Section 6.03  Existing Agreements. From and after the applicable Employee Transfer Date, the Purchaser hereby assumes and shall
honor the agreements listed in Section 6.03 of the Disclosure Schedule, subject to any amendment or
modification agreed to between the Purchaser and the applicable employee who is a party to such
agreement.

          Section 6.04  WARN. The Purchaser shall be responsible for any obligation with respect to the Transferred Employees
under the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act of 1988 and any applicable state or
local equivalent arising or accruing after the applicable Employee Transfer Date (collectively,
“WARN”) and any comparable non-U.S. Law. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01(a),
BSC shall be responsible for any such obligation arising or accruing before the applicable Employee
Transfer Date. On or before the Closing Date, BSC and the Sellers shall provide a list of the name
and site of employment of any and all employees of Seller who have experienced, or will experience,
an employment loss or layoff – as defined by WARN or any comparable non-U.S. law requiring notice
to employees in the event of a closing or layoff – within ninety (90) days prior to the Closing
Date. BSC shall update this list up to and including the Closing Date. The parties hereto agree
to cooperate in good faith to determine whether any notification may be required under WARN as a
result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

          Section 6.05  COBRA. BSC shall be responsible for the administration of and shall retain any and all obligations and
liabilities for continuation coverage under the

69

 

Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), with respect
to the Transferred Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries for “qualifying events”
occurring on or prior to the date on which the Transferred Employee becomes a Transferred Employee
(for purposes of clarity, to the extent such Transferred Employees are covered under an employee
benefit plan providing for such COBRA continuation benefits), and the Purchaser shall be
responsible for all obligations and liabilities for COBRA continuation coverage for Transferred
Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries with respect to “qualifying events” occurring
after the date on which the Transferred Employee becomes a Transferred Employee (for purposes of
clarity, to the extent such Transferred Employees are covered under an employee benefit plan
providing for COBRA continuation benefits).

          Section 6.06  401(k) Plans. (a) Effective as of the applicable Employee Transfer Date, no Transferred Employee shall
actively participate in BSC’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (“BSC’s 401(k) Plan”). On the
date of the applicable Employee Transfer Date, Transferred Employees who participate in BSC’s
401(k) Plan shall immediately be 100% vested in their individual account balances under BSC’s
401(k) Plan.

(b)    As soon as administratively practicable following the date of the applicable Employee
Transfer Date, BSC shall advise such Transferred Employees who participated in BSC’s 401(k) Plan of
their right to elect to receive a distribution of, or to directly rollover, their individual
account balances in BSC’s 401(k) Plan. To the extent permitted by Law and provided that the
Purchaser is reasonably satisfied that BSC’s 401(k) Plan is qualified within the meaning of Section
401(a) of the Code, as soon as practicable following the date of the applicable Employee Transfer
Date, such account balances may be transferred by Transferred Employees to a defined contribution
retirement plan maintained by the Purchaser (the “Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan”) in a direct
rollover or rollover contribution. Service of each Transferred Employee prior to the applicable
Employee Transfer Date which was recognized under BSC’s 401(k) Plan shall be credited to such
Transferred Employee for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan.
Prior to the applicable Employee Transfer Date, the Purchaser shall amend the Purchaser’s 401(k)
Plan to the extent necessary to accept direct rollovers from BSC’s 401(k) Plan and to permit
Transferred Employees to make rollover contributions to the Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan.

          Section 6.07  Accrued Vacation. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, BSC shall pay to each Transferred Employee, as
soon as administratively practicable, but no later than two (2) pay periods following the
applicable Employee Transfer Date, a cash payment reflecting the value of such employee’s unused
accrued vacation and any other paid time off calculated at the employee’s base hourly or salary
rate in effect just prior to the applicable Employee Transfer Date.

          Section 6.08  No Guarantee of Continued Employment; No Third-Party Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VI or otherwise in this Agreement, nothing in
this Agreement shall confer upon any Transferred Employee the right to continue in employment with
the Purchaser following the applicable Employee Transfer Date, or is intended to interfere with the
Purchaser’s right or ability (i) to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee for any
reason or no reason following the applicable Employee Transfer Date or (ii) subject to Section
6.02, to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or

70

 

arrangement in the sole discretion of the Purchaser. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
all provisions contained in this Article VI are included for the sole benefit of the respective
parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right in any other Person, including any
employees, former employees, any participant in any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement
maintained by Sellers or BSC or any beneficiary thereof.

          Section 6.09  Compliance with Law. BSC, Sellers and the Purchaser agree to comply with all applicable Laws pertaining to the
subject matter of this Article VI. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties
herein expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) any action ostensibly required or permitted under
this Article VI shall only be required or permitted to the extent consistent with applicable Law;
(ii) applicable Law may also require a party herein to take actions in addition to those it is
otherwise contractually obligated to take hereunder; and (iii) any failure of a party hereto to
abide by applicable Law pertaining to the subject matter of this Article VI shall be deemed a
breach of this Agreement.

claim is finally and fully resolved.

Section 8.02  Indemnification by BSC. The Purchaser and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns
(each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by BSC for
and against all losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and
penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered or incurred by them
(hereinafter, a “Loss”), directly or indirectly, arising out of or resulting from: (a) the
breach of any representation or warranty made by BSC contained in this Agreement (it being
understood that for purposes of this Section 8.02(a) all “materiality” and “Material Adverse
Effect” qualifications and exceptions contained in such representations and warranties shall be
disregarded); (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement by BSC contained in this Agreement; or
(c) the Excluded Liabilities. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that BSC shall not have any
liability under any provision of this Agreement (other than Section 8.02(a)) for any Loss to the
extent it relates solely to actions taken by the Purchaser and its Affiliates after the Closing
Date.

Section 8.03  Indemnification by the Purchaser. BSC and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns
(each, a
“Seller

73

 

Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Purchaser for and against
any and all Losses, directly or indirectly, arising out of or resulting from: (a) the breach of
any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement (it being
understood that for purposes of this Section 8.03(a) all “materiality” qualifications and

of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; (c) the Assumed

Deferred Closing Country from and after the applicable Deferred Closing Date; or (d) any claims by
or in respect of Transferred Employees to the extent arising or otherwise attributable to the
period after the applicable Employee Transfer Date, except in the case of clauses (c) and (d) for
Losses, directly or indirectly, arising out of or resulting from (i) the breach of any

purposes of this Section 8.03 all “materiality” and “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications and
exceptions contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded), (ii) the breach

breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, unless written
notice of such claim or action is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or Action on or prior to the
date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim or Action is
based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 8.01.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) no Indemnifying
Party shall be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or 8.03(a), as
applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered
from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds, in the case where the Purchaser is the Indemnifying
Party, an amount equal to 1.5% of the Purchase Price and, in the case where BSC is the Indemnifying
Party, an amount equal to 1.5% of the Purchase Price less the amount of Excess Costs paid by the
Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.05, after which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for
those Losses in excess of such amount (except in the case of any Losses for any breach of any
representation or warranty contained in Section 3.02(c), Section 3.10(a), Section 3.10(b) or
Section 3.12(b), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all such Losses); (ii) no
Losses may be claimed under Section 8.02(a) or 8.03(a) or shall be included in calculating the
aggregate Losses set forth in clause (i) above other than Losses in excess of $150,000 resulting
from any single claim or aggregated claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances;
(iii) the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party
arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Section 8.02(a) or 8.03(a), as applicable,
shall be an amount equal to 10% of the Purchase Price; and (iv) except (A) in the case of Third
Party Claims in which an Indemnified Party pays an amount to a third party in respect of a Claim by
a third party and (B) any breach of Section 5.06 (Retained Names and Marks), Section 5.10
(Non-Solicitation) or 5.11 (Non-Competition), neither party hereto shall have any liability under
this Article VIII for any punitive, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of
future

74

 

revenue or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity; provided that the
foregoing limitations in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall not apply to any breach of Section
3.15 or the Specified Representations and Warranties; provided further that clause
(iii) above shall not apply to any breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section
3.10(a), Section 3.10(b) and Section 3.12(b). In addition, no action taken by BSC or any Seller
in compliance with Section 5.01(b) shall be deemed to be a breach of any representation or warranty
or other covenant or agreement of BSC or any Seller under this Agreement for any purpose hereunder.

(c)    For all purposes of this Article VIII, “Losses” shall be net of any insurance recoveries
actually paid to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under any insurance policy in connection
with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification; provided, the amount of such
recovery shall be reduced by any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and by the
amount of any increase in insurance premiums resulting from making the claim giving rise to such
recovery.

Section 8.05  Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims; Mixed Actions. (a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of
any
matter which an
Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under
this Agreement, within 60 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and
method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in
respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, that the
failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations
under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially
prejudiced by such failure.

(b)    If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, claim, demand or
assessment made by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or its Affiliates against it
which may give rise to a claim for Losses under this Article VIII (each, together with any matter
set forth in Section 2.02(b)(vii), a “Third Party Claim”), within 60 days of the receipt of
such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party
Claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying
Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled, at its option, to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at
its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the
Indemnified Party within 45 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party. If the
Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim the Indemnified
Party may, upon giving prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party, participate in such defense
at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the claim for indemnification is with
respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against the
Indemnified Party, then to the extent the Third Party Claim relates to the foregoing, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to conduct and control the defense of such criminal proceeding,
action, indictment, allegation or investigation with counsel of its choosing, and the reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Indemnifying
Party, or (ii) if the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood
exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of

75

 

such action or claim with counsel of its choosing and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to
the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records,
materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s
control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying
Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such
Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third
Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party (which may be withheld in the Indemnified Party’s sole discretion), enter into any settlement
or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if
such settlement, compromise or judgment (x) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing by the
Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (y) does not include an unconditional written release
by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liability in
respect of such Third Party Claim or (z) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the
Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates other than solely the payment of money damages for which
the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense
of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such
defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and
information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control
relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party
assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third
Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Third Party Claim
constitutes a Mixed Action, the parties shall jointly discuss in good faith a strategy for the
conduct and control of a Mixed Action, including the selection of counsel (the “Defense
Strategy”); provided that if the parties cannot agree in writing on the Defense
Strategy for such Mixed Action within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the notice
referred to above in respect of such Mixed Action, each party shall be entitled, subject to clause
(i) of Section 8.05(b), to assume and control the defense of the portion of such Mixed Action for
which it is responsible or otherwise may be obligated to indemnify the other party (the
“Assumed Portion”); provided further that each such assuming party shall not,
without the prior written consent of the other party (which may be withheld in the other party’s
sole discretion), enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment
with respect to such Assumed Portion if such settlement, compromise or judgment (x) involves a
finding or admission of wrongdoing by either party or any of its Affiliates, (y) does not include
an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the other party and its Affiliates
from all liability in respect of such Assumed Portion, or (z) imposes equitable remedies or any
obligation on the other party or any of its Affiliates in respect of such Assumed Portion other
than solely the payment of money damages for which the assuming party is responsible or the other
party will be indemnified hereunder. Each party to a Mixed Action may participate in the defense
of the other party’s Assumed Portion of such Mixed Action (including by having its representatives
and counsel appear at all hearings, depositions and settlement negotiations related

76

 

thereto), regardless of whether the Mixed Action is subsequently bifurcated or otherwise
separately tried in part or whole, and will bear the costs and expenses incurred by it in
connection with such participation, unless otherwise agreed in accordance with the Defense
Strategy. Each party shall also cooperate with the other party in the defense of the other party’s
Assumed Portion and make available to the other party, at the other party’s expense, all witnesses,
pertinent records, materials and information in such party’s possession or under its control
relating thereto as is reasonably required by the other party. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Mixed Action” means any Third Party Claim that a party believes is reasonably likely to
include both (1) claims in respect of which it will be the Indemnified Party under this Article
VIII and (2) claims (A) as to which no right of indemnification exists for such party under this
Article VIII, or (B) as to which it is the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII.

Section 8.06  Tax Treatment. To the extent permitted by Law, the parties hereto agree to treat all payments made under this
Article VIII, under any other indemnity provision contained in this Agreement, and for any
misrepresentations or breach of warranties or covenants, as adjustments to the Purchase Price for
all Tax purposes.

Section 8.07  Remedies. The Purchaser and BSC acknowledge and agree that, (a) following the Closing, the indemnification
provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser and BSC
for any claims under this Agreement, provided that nothing in this Section 8.07 shall
restrict or prohibit any party bringing any action for fraud, intentional misrepresentation,
intentional and material breach or from seeking specific performance of any obligation hereunder,
and (b) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except in the case of actual fraud, no
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to
any right on the part of the Purchaser or BSC, after the Closing Date, to rescind this Agreement or
any of the Ancillary Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each
party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take all reasonable steps to mitigate its
Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to
any Losses.

Section 8.08  Set-Off Rights.

(a)    Other than as expressly provided in this Section 8.08, neither party hereto shall have any
right to set-off any amounts determined to be owed under this Agreement (including by an
Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII) against any amount
payable by such party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, any of the Ancillary
Agreements or otherwise.

(b)    The Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold and set-off against the Milestone Payments the
amount of any Third Party Claim against a Purchaser Indemnified Party that has been made in writing
and in respect of which the Purchaser has sought indemnification from BSC in accordance with
Sections 8.04(a) and 8.05(b) or the amount of any payment due by BSC under Section 14.06 of the
Separation Agreement (a “Set-Off Claim”) subject to the terms of this Section 8.08.

(c)    No set-off may be made unless the Purchaser has provided a written notice of request (a
“Request Notice”) in respect of a Set-Off Claim at least forty-five (45) days

77

 

prior to the date the Purchaser is required to make a Milestone Payment pursuant to Section
2.04 (a “Milestone Payment Date”), unless the Purchaser first receives notice of a Third
Party Claim within such forty-five (45) day period, in which case the Purchaser shall give a
Request Notice in respect of such Set-Off Claim as promptly as practicable (but in no event later
than five (5) Business Days) following receipt of such notice. The Request Notice shall include
(i) a description of the Purchaser’s good faith basis for determining that such Set-Off Claim gives
rise to a right of indemnification under Section 8.02, and (ii) the Purchaser’s good faith estimate
of the amount of Loss reasonably likely to be incurred by a Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect
of such Set-Off Claim (the “Requested Set-Off Payment”).

(d)    If BSC does not deliver written notice to the Purchaser disputing a Set-Off Claim or the
amount of a Requested Set-Off Payment, which notice shall describe the basis for BSC’s dispute of
such Set-Off Claim (a “Set-Off Dispute Notice”), by 5:00 p.m. New York time on the tenth
(10th) Business Day after BSC’s receipt of the Request Notice, then, as of the Business
Day following the end of such 10 Business Day period, the Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold
and set-off such Requested Set-Off Payment against the next Milestone Payment in accordance with
Section 8.08(h).

(e)    If BSC delivers a Set-Off Dispute Notice in accordance with Section 8.08(d), BSC and the
Purchaser will attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute in respect of the Set-Off Claim. If
they fail to resolve their dispute for any reason within ten (10) Business Days after BSC’s
delivery of the Set-Off Dispute Notice to the Purchaser, the dispute shall be arbitrated in
Wilmington, Delaware by a single arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association and the expedited procedures thereof (other than, to the
extent possible, rule E-10-Compensation). BSC or the Purchaser shall submit the dispute to
arbitration as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days) after
the ten Business Day period referred to above, and shall instruct the arbitrator to determine only
whether the Purchaser is entitled to set-off all or any portion of the amount of the Requested
Set-Off Payment in accordance with this Section 8.08. The decision of the arbitrator shall be
rendered as promptly as practicable (if possible no later than thirty (30) days) after the
appointment of the arbitrator, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The decision and award of the
arbitrator shall be deemed final and conclusive for purposes of whether the Purchaser shall be
entitled to set-off the amount of the Requested Set-Off Payment under this Section 8.08, but not in
respect of any other matter relating to such Set-Off Claim, including whether any Purchaser
Indemnified Party is ultimately determined to be entitled to be indemnified in respect of such
Set-Off Claim under Section 8.02. The decision and award of the arbitrator shall be final and
binding on the parties for the purpose set forth above, and may be entered and enforced in any
court having jurisdiction.

(f)    If the arbitrator rules that the Set-Off Claim is not a claim that entitles the Purchaser
to withhold and set-off all or any portion of the Requested Set-Off Payment against the next
Milestone Payment (the “Disallowed Requested Set-Off Payment”), the Purchaser shall have no
right to withhold or set-off the Disallowed Requested Set-Off Payment in respect of such Set-Off
Claim and, if the Requested Set-Off Payment in respect of such Set-Off Claim has previously been
deposited in the Escrow Account, BSC shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to release an
amount equal to the Disallowed Requested Set-Off Payment (plus any interest earned on such
Disallowed Requested Set-Off Payment at a rate of interest

78

 

from time to time publicly announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its prime or base rate plus
2%) to BSC from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(g)    If the arbitrator rules that the Purchaser is entitled to set-off all or any portion of
the Requested Set-Off Payment in respect of such Set-Off Claim (the “Allowed Requested Set-Off
Payment”), the Purchaser shall have the right to withhold and set-off against the Milestone
Payments the Allowed Requested Set-Off Payment in respect of such Set-Off Claim, and the amount of
the Allowed Requested Set-Off Payment may be deposited, or if the Requested Set-Off Payment has
previously been deposited, retained, in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the
Escrow Agreement.

(h)    If BSC has not delivered a Set-Off Dispute Notice in accordance with Section 8.08(d), or
if the amount of the Requested Set-Off Payment has not been determined in accordance with this
Section 8.08 prior to the date of the next Milestone Payment Date, the Purchaser shall deposit an
amount equal to the Requested Set-Off Payment into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”)
on the Milestone Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Otherwise, the
amount of the Allowed Requested Set-Off Payment shall be deposited by the Purchaser in the Escrow
Account on such date. The Requested Set-Off Payment or the Allowed Requested Set-Off Payment (as
applicable) shall be released from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow
Agreement.

Section 8.09  Information; Waiver. The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants
and obligations in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect
to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or
compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any
condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or
compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification or any
other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01  Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)    by either BSC or the Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the six
(6) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “End Date”); provided that
the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(a) shall not be available to any
party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or
shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

79

 

(b)    by either the Purchaser or BSC in the event that any Governmental Order restraining,
enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have
become final and nonappealable;

Section 10.03  Public Announcements. Neither party to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public
announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party
unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the parties to this
Agreement shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public
announcement or communication.

Section 10.04  Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic and legal substance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected in any manner materially adverse to
either party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal
or incapable of being enforced, 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 in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as
originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

81

 

Section 10.05  Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire
agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede
all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between BSC and the Purchaser with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 10.06  Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written
consent of BSC and the Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion
of BSC or the Purchaser), as the case may be; provided that the Purchaser may assign this
Agreement or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates of the Purchaser
(a “Purchaser Affiliate”) upon notice to BSC but without the consent of BSC, so long as any
such assignment (a) shall not release the Purchaser from any obligation or liability hereunder and
(b) is not likely to delay the Closing, provided that BSC acknowledges and agrees that the
Purchaser may, subject to its compliance with clause (a) above, assign certain of its rights and
obligations hereunder to the Purchaser Affiliates specified in Schedule 10.06.

Section 10.07  Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by,
or on behalf of, BSC and the Purchaser or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.08.

Section 10.08  Waiver. Either party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and
warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party
pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or conditions
to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if
set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any
term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent
waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.
The failure of either party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a
waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 10.09  No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Article VIII relating to Indemnified Parties, this
Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall
confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this
Agreement.

Section 10.10  Currency and Exchange Rates. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references to currency, monetary values and
dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall
be made in United States dollars. In the event that there is any need to convert U.S. dollars into
any foreign currency, or vice versa, for any purpose under this Agreement, the exchange rate shall
be that published by the Wall Street Journal three (3) Business Days before the date on which the

82

 

obligation is paid (or if the Wall Street Journal is not published on such date, the first date
thereafter on which the Wall Street Journal is published), except as otherwise required by
applicable Law (in which case, the exchange rate shall be determined in accordance with such Law).

Section 10.11  Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto could be irreparably damaged if
any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms
or are otherwise breached and that any non-performance or breach of this Agreement by any party
hereto could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the parties hereto
would not have any adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy
to which any party hereto may be entitled, at law or in equity (including monetary damages), such
party shall be entitled to seek enforcement of any provision of this Agreement by a decree of
specific performance and to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent
breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond
or other undertaking.

Section 10.12  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles that would result in the
application of any laws other than the laws of the State of Delaware. Except as provided in
Sections 2.03(b), 5.26 and 8.08(e), all Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall
be heard and determined exclusively in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state
appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of
Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court
within the State of Delaware and any direct appellate court therefrom). Consistent with the
preceding sentence, the parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such
courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by either
party hereto and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or
otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of
the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that
the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any
of the above-named courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such
Action may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by Law. Each party agrees that notice or the service of process in any Action arising out
of or relating to this Agreement shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner
contemplated by Section 10.02, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of
any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

Section 10.13  Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER

83

 

PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.13.

Section 10.14  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or pdf transmission) in one
or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same agreement.

84

 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of BSC and the Purchaser has caused this Agreement to be executed as
of the date first written above by its respective officers thereunto duly authorized.
