	 	4.4.2.	 	if the Completion Payment exceeds the Consideration, the Seller shall repay to the Purchaser
the overpayment of the Consideration.

	 	4.4.3.	 	Any payment to be made pursuant to Clauses 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 shall be made together with
interest on the amount payable from and including the day after the Completion Date to (but
excluding) the actual date of payment at the rate of three percentage points per annum above
the base interest rate (Basiszinssatz) as published from time to time by the German Federal
Bank (Deutsche Bundesbank). Such interest shall accrue from day to day, and shall be
compounded monthly.

	 	5.	 	COMPLETION

	 
	 	 	 	Completion shall take place at the offices of Seller’s Solicitors on the Completion Date
when each of the parties shall comply with the provisions of Schedule 7. On the Completion

Business is effectively hived out from the Seller to the Company and shall apply to the
Company as of Completion.

all respects and not misleading. The Seller shall be entitled to update all Schedules of this
Agreement to reflect the status on the Completion Date with respect to any events or
circumstances occurring after signing of this Agreement, within five (5) Business Days of each
such event or circumstance. The scope and content of each Warranty of Seller contained in
Schedule 3, as well as Seller’s liability arising therefrom shall be conclusively
(abschließend) defined by the provisions of this Agreement (including the limitations on
Purchaser’s rights and remedies), which shall be an integral part of the Warranties of Seller,
and no Warranty of Seller shall be construed as a guarantee (Garantie für die Beschaffenheit
der Sache) of Seller within the meaning of sections 443 and 444 of the German Civil Code.

	 	9.2.	 	The Seller undertakes and covenants with the Purchaser that at Completion Date the Company

the control of the Seller, for example death. The Seller will pay all amounts that become
payable to Employees under the Personal Incentive Plan and Other Incentive Plan of the
Business with respect to the fiscal year ending 30 June 2010 when due and will invoice the
Company for its pro rata share of such amounts (which for example would be 1/12th
of such amounts if Completion occurs on 28 May 2010) unless such amounts are otherwise
effectively paid by the Purchaser through inclusion of a prepaid amount equal to the Company’s
pro rata share within Working Capital. The Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay any such
invoice within ten (10) days after receipt.

	 	9.3.	 	The Seller undertakes and covenants that (i) Seller will file the trade registry application

replacement, repair or reworking of the V1 Adapter, all shipping and other costs related
thereto, and all regulatory compliance required in connection there with, in each case as
determined by Seller in its reasonable judgment and in the same manner as it would have
determined had it continued to own the Business after Completion (the “Required Action”).
In addition, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and the Company
from and against any and all cost, loss, and expense (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), but excluding indirect and consequential damages
and lost profit, relating to: (a) the Required Action; (b) any claims by any customer or
study participant associated with or arising out of the Problem; or (c) any claims by any
governmental agency or regulatory authority, including any investigation and determination,
associated with or arising out of the Problem (any such claims described in clauses (b) and
(c) shall be considered Third Party Claims governed by Clause 5 of Schedule 2).

	 
	 	 	 	The obligations of the Seller hereunder shall be without limit as to time or amount. All
claims by Purchaser relating to or arising from the Problem shall be exclusively governed
by this Clause 9.4 and, other than the parties’ agreement to comply with Clause 5 of
Schedule 2, as set forth above in this Clause 9.4, Schedule 2 shall not apply to such
claims or to the Seller’s obligations under this Clause 9.4.

	 	10.	 	WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF PURCHASER

	 	10.1.	 	The Purchaser represents and warrants by way of an independent guarantee (selbständiges
Garantieversprechen) pursuant to Section 311 para. 1 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches
Gesetzbuch, BGB) to the Seller that, on the date hereof and the Completion Date each of the

die Beschaffenheit der Sache) of Seller within the meaning of sections 443 and 444 of the
German Civil Code.

	 	10.2.	 	Authorization of the Purchaser: The Purchaser is a German limited partnership validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and has the
requisite power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement and each other
document contemplated thereby to which it is a party and perform the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and do not violate the articles of association or by-laws of the
Purchaser. This Agreement and each other document contemplated hereby constitute legal, valid
and binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser under applicable
laws in accordance with its respective terms.

	 	10.3.	 	No additional consents: Neither the execution nor the performance of the transactions
contemplated hereby require any person to give notice to or, save for the filing with the
relevant merger control authorities, filing or obtain third party consent. The execution or
performance of this Agreement does not violate any applicable law or decision by any court or
governmental authority binding on the Purchaser or any obligations of the Purchaser.

	 	10.4.	 	No challenge: There is no action, suit, investigation or other proceeding pending, or to the
best knowledge of the Purchaser threatened, or which ought reasonably to be expected against

in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, alter or materially delay the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and there are no facts or circumstances likely to give rise to
any such challenge.

 

15

 

	 	10.5.	 	Except as may be required pending the transfer or reregistration of licenses and Permits and
obtaining regulatory approvals required for the manufacture, use or sale of the Company’s
products or the provision of services, the Purchaser shall cause the Company and the
Subsidiary to cease making use of the trade names, trademarks and product or service marks of
Seller, Cardinal Health Inc., and any of their respective Affiliates as soon as reasonably
feasible but in no event later than twelve (12) months from Completion, to remove any
reference to any such names, marks or expressions from all products, products promotions or
advertising material, business cards or any other items and to change its corporate name to
delete any reference or similarity to “CareFusion”, “Cardinal Health” or corporate names of
the Seller Group, except in each case to the extent explicitly set out in separate written
agreements entered into by the parties, provided, however, that the tradenames, trademarks,
product or service marks of “Cardinal Health” shall not be used at all after the Completion
Date, except as set forth in the TTSA. The Purchaser and the Company shall indemnify for, and
hold harmless against, the Seller from any and all claims and liabilities resulting from the
continued use by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the trademark/logos of the Seller and
its Affiliates and/or Cardinal Health, Inc.

	 	10.6.	 	The Company shall pay the Bonuses to the beneficiaries on or before September 30, 2010.

	 	11.	 	COOPERATION 

	 	11.1.	 	The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other with an aim at enabling the Company
to obtain or register all licenses, Permits and regulatory approvals necessary to conduct the
Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller shall allow Purchaser to use
existing licenses, Permits and regulatory approvals until the necessary licenses, Permits and
regulatory approvals are obtained or registered by the Company.

	 	11.2.	 	For the period of time until the regulatory approvals have been obtained the parties shall
reasonably cooperate with each other to put the Company in the position it would have been in
had such regulatory approvals been obtained on the Completion Date.

	 	11.3.	 	The parties agree that for tax purposes the Hive Out will not have retroactive effect. To
this end, the Purchaser shall cause the Company not to file after the Completion an
application pursuant to Section 20 para. 5 of the German Reorganization Tax Act (UmwStG).

	 	11.4.	 	Seller will cooperate at the request of the Purchaser to obtain any consent of Ernst & Young
required with respect to the inclusion of the Financial Statements in any securities filings
of the ultimate parent of the Purchaser.

	 	12.	 	CROSS INDEMNIFICATION AND TRANSFER OF US EMPLOYEES AND US AND OTHER NON-GERMAN ASSETS

	 	12.1.	 	The parties acknowledge that the Seller and the Company will agree in the Hive Out
Agreement, a copy of which has been attached hereto as Schedule 8, to cross-indemnify one
another with respect to the statutory joint and several liability (gesamtschuldnerische
Haftung) pursuant to Sec. 133 UmwG (the “Cross-Indemnification Obligation”), it being
understood that the Guaranty shall also cover the Cross-Indemnification Obligation. For
clarity, the Cross Indemnification Obligation is exclusive to the Hive Out Agreement. If the
Company would be liable under a Cross-Indemnification Obligation to the Seller for a liability
allocated in the Hive Out Agreement to the Business, the parties agree that, notwithstanding
such provisions of the Hive Out Agreement, to the extent the Seller is liable to the Purchaser
under this Agreement for the same liability, the Company shall not be liable thereunder.

	 	12.2.	 	At Completion, the Seller shall cause its Affiliates that own the US assets of Seller’s
Group relating to the Business and listed in the bill of sale, assignment and assumption
agreement (the “US Assignment”), and assignment of trademarks and copyright assignment
agreement attached hereto as Schedule 10 (collectively, the “US Transfer Documents”) to
execute and deliver such documents at Completion. The purchase price for the sale and transfer
of these assets is included in the Consideration.

 

16

 

	 	12.3.	 	Upon Completion, the Seller shall cause its Affiliates owning any non-German assets of the
Seller’s Group that relate to the Business and are listed in the trademark assignment and
transfer agreement attached hereto as Schedule 11, to execute and to deliver such document(s)
at Completion. The purchase price for the sale and transfer of these assets is included in the
Consideration.

	 	12.4.	 	The parties will cooperate and support each other to transfer the employees which are
employed by US entities of Seller’s Group by means of such entities terminating employment and
Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser hiring such employees effective as of Completion. The
Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate that hire such employees to, execute and deliver
the US Assignment at Completion.

	 	13.	 	INFORMATION

	 
	 	 	 	The Seller shall provide, or procure to be provided, to the Purchaser all such information
in its possession or under its control as the Purchaser shall from time to time reasonably
require after the Completion Date necessary to conduct the Business (as it was conducted on
Completion) and affairs of the Company if and to the extent any such information is not in
the possession of the Company or cannot be procured, without unreasonable effort, by the
Company.

	 	14.	 	ANNOUNCEMENTS

	 
	 	 	 	No announcement, communication or circular concerning this Agreement shall be made (whether
before or after the Completion Date) by or on behalf of the parties without the prior
approval of the other (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) save for:

	 	14.1.	 	announcements to employees, customers, suppliers and agents of the Company and/or the
Purchaser and/or any company which is a member of the same group as the Purchaser in such form
as may be reasonably required by the Purchaser; and

	 	14.2.	 	such announcements as may be required by law or applicable rules and regulations of stock
exchanges, provided that the Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with a draft of
such announcement as soon as practicable and shall cooperate in connection with any such
announcement so as to (i) reasonably comply with such laws and regulations, (ii) be consistent
with such announcements, and (iii) prior to Completion, maintain confidentiality of
confidential commercial information the disclosure of which would cause substantial harm to a
party or its Affiliates.

	 	15.	 	COSTS

	 
	 	 	 	Each of the parties shall bear and pay its own legal, accountancy, actuarial and other fees
and expenses incurred in and incidental to the preparation and implementation of this
Agreement, it being understood that in no event shall the Company bear any of such fees and
expenses. As between the parties, any transfer taxes and similar domestic or foreign taxes
or charges and the costs and fees of the notary resulting from the execution and
consummation of this Agreement and the Deed in Reference shall be borne by the Purchaser.
Subject to Completion, Purchaser agrees to share equally any audit and review fees incurred
prior to Completion in connection with the Audited Financial Statements and review of the
Quarterly Financial Statements up to a maximum contribution of USD 400,000.00 (US dollars
four hundred thousand) (“E&Y Audit Costs”), which E&Y Audit Costs shall be paid promptly
following receipt of an invoice therefor. Any costs in excess of the aforesaid amount shall
be borne by the Seller. Any costs for the execution and notarization of the Hive Out shall
be borne by the Seller.

 

17

 

	 	16.	 	ASSIGNMENTS

	 
	 	 	 	This Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder cannot be transferred or assigned
in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party, except Purchaser
may assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any subsidiary or
Affiliate without prior consent, provided, however that the Purchaser shall be jointly and
severally liable (haftet gesamtschuldnerisch) for any and all obligations under this
Agreement.

	 	17.	 	ENTIRE AGREEMENT

	 
	 	 	 	This Agreement, together with the Schedules attached hereto and subject of the Deed in
Reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior written and oral agreements between the
parties hereto and all contemporaneous oral agreements between the parties hereto, relating
to the transaction contemplated hereby.

	 	18.	 	SEVERABILITY

	 
	 	 	 	Should any provision of this Agreement, or any provision incorporated into this Agreement
in the future, be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the
other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. Instead of the invalid or
unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision shall apply that, so far as is
lawfully possible, comes as close as possible to the intent and purpose of the invalid or
unenforceable provision. The same shall apply: (i) if the parties have, unintentionally,
failed to address a certain matter in this Agreement (Regelungslücke), in which case a
suitable and equitable provision shall be deemed to have been agreed upon which comes as
close as possible to what the parties, in the light of the intent and purpose of this
Agreement, would have agreed upon if they had considered the matter; or (ii) if any
provision of this Agreement is invalid because of the scope of any time period or
performance stipulated herein, in which case a time period or performance permitted by law
shall be deemed to have been agreed which comes as close as possible to the stipulated time
period or performance.

SCHEDULE 1

Completion Accounts

Part 1

	 	1.	 	The Completion Accounts shall comprise a consolidated balance sheet of the Business as at
close of business on the Completion Date prepared in accordance with US GAAP applied on a
basis consistent with the Audited Financial Statements except for changes in Deferred Revenues
based on clause (i) of the definition of Deferred Revenues (for example, the Audited Financial
Statements are based on amounts that would be deferred if revenues for project management
services had been recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the contract rather
than the Business’ historical practice of revenue recognition, which has been based on the
Business’ estimate of labor hours expected to be spent on such services over the duration of
the contract, which Seller may use in preparing the Draft Completion Accounts, subject to the
proviso in clause (i) of the definition of Deferred Revenues); provided, that for
purposes of this Schedule 1 Clause 1 goodwill shall not be subject to the provisions of
Schedule 1 Clause 6 below.

	 	2.	 	The Completion Accounts shall be prepared by the Seller in accordance with US GAAP, on a
basis consistent with the Audited Financial Statements.

	 	3.	 	The Seller shall procure the preparation and submission to the Purchaser of a draft of the
Completion Accounts (“Draft Completion Accounts”) as soon as reasonably practicable and in any
event within 20 Business Days of Completion. The Purchaser shall within 45 Business Days of
receipt of the Draft Completion Accounts give notice to the Seller (“Notice”) stating whether
or not it agrees with the Draft Completion Accounts and in the case of disagreement, the item
or items in dispute, the reasons for such dispute and details of its proposed adjustments to
the Draft Completion Accounts. Notwithstanding clause (i) of the definition of Deferred
Revenues, if the method for recognizing revenues for project management services is adjusted
from the Audited Financial Statements to the Draft Completion Accounts and Purchaser disagrees
with the calculation of Deferred Revenues in the Draft Completion Accounts because it
reasonably believes that the proportional amount of effort left to complete the services is
not representative of what the actual unbooked revenue is, then Purchaser shall include this
matter in its Notice as an item in dispute to be governed by this Schedule.

	 	4.	 	If the Purchaser does not give the Notice within the prescribed period, then it shall be
deemed to have agreed to the Draft Completion Accounts which shall constitute the Completion
Accounts.

	 	5.	 	If the Notice states that the Purchaser agrees with the Draft Completion Accounts, then such
accounts shall constitute the Completion Accounts.

 

1

 

	 	6.	 	If the Notice states that the Purchaser disagrees with the Draft Completion Accounts then:

	 	6.1	 	the Seller and Purchaser shall endeavor to agree in good faith to those items
detailed as disputed in the Notice and shall be deemed to have agreed to all other
items in the Draft Completion Accounts;

	 	6.2	 	if all the items in dispute are resolved by agreement between them, the
Seller and the Purchaser shall without undue delay sign a joint statement appending a
copy of the Draft Completion Accounts adjusted to reflect the disputed items as so
agreed and confirming that such accounts constitute the Completion Accounts;

	 	6.3	 	if within 30 Business Days of receipt of the Notice, the Seller and the
Purchaser have not agreed on the Completion Accounts in accordance with Schedule 1,
Part 1, Clause 3, the item or items that remain in dispute shall be referred for
determination by an Expert in accordance with the provisions of Part 2 of this
Schedule upon the written request of either the Seller or the Purchaser; and

	 	6.4	 	if the Seller and the Purchaser do not agree the Completion Accounts in
accordance with Schedule 1, Part 1, Clause 3, then the Draft Completion Accounts shall
be adjusted to reflect:

	 	6.4.1.	 	any disputed items that are agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser in
writing;

	 	6.4.2.	 	the Expert’s determination made pursuant to Part 2 of this Schedule with
respect to the disputed items; and

	 	6.4.3.	 	shall constitute the Completion Accounts.

	 	6.5	 	For the purpose of the calculation of Cash, Indebtedness, Working Capital and
the Consideration, (i) the relevant amounts shall be as shown in the Draft Completion
Accounts if no Notice is duly delivered by the Purchaser, or (ii) if such a Notice is
duly delivered, either as agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller pursuant to Schedule
1, Part 1, Clause 3, or, in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Draft
Completion Accounts as adjusted pursuant to Schedule 1, Part 1, Clause 6.4.

	 	7.	 	Save as provided in Part 2 of this Schedule, the parties shall bear and pay their own costs
incurred in connection with the preparation, review and agreement or determination of the
Completion Accounts.

	 	8.	 	The Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a statement of Allianz AG showing the cash surrender
value of the Pension Policies and the actuarially computed pension liabilities (“Actuarial
Pension Liabilities”) for which such balance is maintained on the Completion Date.

 

2

 

Expert

Part 2

	 	1.	 	Expert shall be BDO Deutsche Warentreuhand AG or any other accounting firm having
international reputation (the “Expert”). If such accounting firm is unwilling or unable to
act as the Expert and the parties cannot mutually agree upon another Expert with international
reputation within two weeks, an Expert with international reputation shall be appointed, upon
request of either party, by the Institute of Chartered Accountants (Institut der
Wirtschaftsprüfer) in Düsseldorf. Each of the Seller and Purchaser for itself and on behalf
of its Affiliates represent that neither it nor its counsel employ or have employed the Expert
under any engagements where during the preceding 36 months the Expert was paid in excess of
USD 100,000 in the aggregate.

	 	2.	 	The Expert, acting as an expert (Schiedsgutachter) and not as an arbitrator (Schiedsrichter),
shall, based on the standards set forth in Part 2, Clause 1 above, decide whether and to what
extent the Draft Completion Accounts require adjustment. The Expert, in making its
determination, shall only take into account any remaining differences submitted to it and
shall limit its determination to the scope of the dispute between the parties. Section 317 of

	 	1.	 	Remedies of the Purchaser for Breach of Warranties or Covenants

	 	1.1	 	In the event of a breach of any of the Warranties or a Covenant of the
Seller, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller of that breach, describe its
claim in reasonable detail and, to the extent then feasible, set forth the estimated
amount of such claim.

	 	1.2	 	Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, if there is any
breach or non-fulfillment of any of the Warranties or Covenants set forth herein, the
Purchaser shall have the right at its option to (i) waive such breach or
non-fulfillment; (ii) cause the Seller within no later than 10 Business Days after it
has received written notice from Purchaser of such breach of Warranty or Covenant to
put the Purchaser or the Company in such respective position in which the Purchaser or
the Company (as the case may be) would have been in had the Warranty or Covenant not
have been breached (i.e. restitution in kind; Naturalrestitution); (iii) cause the
Seller to pay such monetary damages in an amount equal to any Losses from or in
connection with any breach of Warranties or Covenants (Schadensersatz in Geld), to the
Purchaser or, alternatively and at the election of the Purchaser, to the Company
provided, however, that if such breach or non-fulfillment occurs prior to Completion
and results in a Material Adverse Effect such that the Condition set forth in Clause 8
of Schedule 5 has not been satisfied then, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser,
but not the Seller, shall have the rights under Clause 3.1. The Purchaser shall in no
event be entitled to any double recovery for any Losses under separate provisions of
the Agreement or pursuant to any provision of the law.

	 	1.3	 	“Losses” shall mean all liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses and other

Euro-for-Euro basis, including consequential or indirect damages (Folgeschäden,
mittelbare Schäden), lost profits (entgangener Gewinn), frustrated expenses
(vergebliche Aufwendungen) within the meaning of Section 284 of the German Civil Code.
Any Loss shall be computed net of (i) any present advantages and benefits (ii) of any
amounts which are received or would have been received by the Company in respect of
such Losses if the Company had in place a policy of insurance having substantially the
same terms as are commercially reasonable at the time of the Loss with policy limits
substantially the same as those that are commercially reasonable at the time of the
Loss, and any amounts due to post-Completion changes to law including, but not limited
to, tax rules or laws and applicable accounting rules and standards. For the avoidance
of doubt, neither the Purchaser nor the Company shall be obligated to change its
respective conduct of business in order to reduce any damages actually suffered by any
of them. The statutory obligation to mitigate damages pursuant to Section 254 of the
German Civil Code, as such obligation is interpreted under German law, shall remain
unaffected.

enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under all leases under which they are
operating, and all such leases are valid and subsisting in full force and effect
without any material default of the Company or the Subsidiary thereunder and, to the
Seller’s Knowledge, without any default thereunder of any other party thereto. No
event has occurred and is continuing, to the Seller’s Knowledge, which, with due
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or event of default by the
Company or the Subsidiary under any such lease or agreement or by any other party
thereto. The possession of such property by the Company or the Subsidiary has not
been disturbed and no claim has been asserted against the Company, the Seller or the
Subsidiary that is adverse to its rights in such Intellectual Property or leasehold
interests.

accrued for. With respect to any Policy that is an “occurrence” basis policy, the
Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the full benefits
and responsible for all deductibles or retention, if applicable, of such insurance
following Completion with respect to occurrences prior to Completion, as far as not
covered by insurance of the Purchaser. The Company and the Subsidiary maintain all
Policies in amounts and types required by law. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary

	 	 	 	To the extent requested by the Vendor and required to evaluate the potential
Indemnifiable Tax and the Tax reductions, the Purchaser shall provide the Vendor with all
relevant information, documents and assistance.

	 	4.3	 	Cooperation and Information

	 
	 	 	 	The Vendor’s prior agreement and consent is required with regard to the filing or
amendment of a Tax Return filed for the Company or the Subsidiary which relates to an
assessment period prior to and including the Accounts Date provided that such agreement
and consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and be deemed given if the Vendor does not
provide the Purchaser, the Company or the Subsidiary with a specific proposal for changes
within 15 Business Days after the Vendor has received the Tax Return notification from
the Purchaser, the Company or the Subsidiary.

	 
	 	 	 	The Purchaser shall inform the Vendor without undue delay about any proceeding of any Tax
Authority (e.g. announcement of Tax audits, Tax audit findings) which may give rise to a

documents and other information which might reasonably be necessary to evaluate the
existence of any such claim.

	 	4.4	 	Defense

	 	a.	 	The Vendor shall at its own costs be entitled to direct any measures
and actions by the Purchaser, the Company and the Subsidiary to defend against any
proceedings of any Tax Authority which may result in a claim of the Purchaser
under this Schedule 4. The Purchaser shall in particular

 

3

 

	 	b.	 	take such measures and actions as the Vendor may reasonably request
to defend against any Indemnifiable Taxes which may result in a liability for Tax

	 	c.	 	keep the Vendor informed of the status of the defense at any time
without undue delay; and

	 	d.	 	not acknowledge or settle any claims for Taxes without prior written
consent of the Vendor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

	 	5.	 	Tax Reductions

	 	5.1	 	If a member of Purchaser Group. is entitled to any benefit by refund,
set-off or reduction of Taxes after the Completion Date arising from facts which
give rise to Indemnifiable Taxes (“Tax Reduction Amount”), the cash value of such
Tax Reduction Amount shall reduce the Tax Indemnification Payment.

	 	5.2	 	Tax reductions shall include, without limitation, all benefits arising
out of or in connection with

	 	a.	 	the first-time recognition as an asset or a step-up in value in the
tax accounts, the extension of depreciation or amortization periods relating to an
assessment period prior to and including the Completion Date, to the extent this
leads to a step up in value as of the Accounts Date and will reverse in periods
after the Completion Date according to scheduled depreciations or amortizations
(planmäßige Abschreibungen) or a reduced capital gain, and/or

	 	b.	 	the non-recognition for Tax purposes of expenses in connection with
the establishment of liabilities, provisions, accruals and deferrals, reserves or
other kinds of expenses relating to an assessment period prior to and including
the Completion Date to the extent this leads to the recognition of expenses for
Tax purposes after the Completion Date, and/or

	 	c.	 	timing adjustments with regard to Value Added Tax (meaning taxes as
set forth in Sec. 3 of the German Value Added Tax Statute (UStG) or similar
foreign taxes) (e.g. shifting of Input Value Added Tax from an assessment period
prior to and including the Completion Date to a period after the Completion Date).

	 	5.3	 	The Purchaser, or at the election of the Purchaser the Company or the
Subsidiary undertake to notify the Vendor of any Tax Reduction Amount pursuant to
Clause 5.2 of Schedule 4 without undue delay and in any case in the Tax
Indemnification Notice pursuant to Clause 4.1 of Schedule 4

	 	5.4	 	The cash value of the Tax reductions shall be calculated by applying the
following principles:

	 	a.	 	it is assumed that the total income tax burden of the Company and/or
the Subsidiary will be 30%;

 

4

 

	 	b.	 	all Tax reductions will be determined abstractly (i.e., without
taking into account the concrete tax situation of the Company and/or the
Subsidiary);

	 	c.	 	it is assumed that the Tax reductions arise equally distributed over
(i) 15 years in case of a goodwill, (ii) 8 years in case of other depreciable or
amortizable fixed assets or in the case of pension provisions, (iii) 3 years in
case of other liabilities or provisions, and (iv) 1 year in all other cases;

	 	d.	 	Tax reductions arising in periods ending before the notification
pursuant to Clause4.1 of Schedule 4 shall not be discounted;

	 	e.	 	Tax reductions arising in periods ending after the notification
pursuant to Clause 4.1 of Schedule 4 shall be discounted to the due date as
defined in Clause 3.3 of Schedule 4 by applying an interest rate of 6% p.a.

	 	6.	 	Tax Straddle Period

	 
	 	 	 	Taxes for Tax periods beginning 1 January 2010 and ending after the Completion Date
(“Straddle Period”) shall be allocated to the Parties as follows:

	 	a.	 	The respective Straddle Period shall be divided into a time period
ending on the Completion Date (“Pre-Completion Date Straddle Period”) and a time
period beginning after the Completion Date (“Post-Completion Date Straddle
Period”).

	 	b.	 	The Completion Date shall be regarded for all Taxes as the last day
of the respective time period for such Tax Indemnification Payments or Tax refund
claims.

	 	c.	 	The indemnification obligation pursuant to Schedule 4, Clause 3 shall
be limited to the Taxes for which the Company or the Subsidiary would be liable on
a standalone basis for the Pre-Completion Date Straddle Period.

	 	d.	 	Taxes attributable to the Pre-Completion Date Straddle Period shall
be the Taxes to which the Company or the Subsidiary would be liable if the
Pre-Completion Date Straddle Period were a separate Tax assessment period (“als-ob
Veranlagung”). To the extent that any Taxes cannot be allocated either to the
Pre-Completion Date Straddle Period or the Post-Completion Date Straddle Period,
these Taxes shall be allocated on a pro rata temporis basis.

	 	7.	 	Tax Refunds

	 
	 	 	 	If a member of the Purchaser Group, the Company or the Subsidiary receives a Tax
refund (which means any tax refunds any Tax credit, including increase of tax credits,
set-off of taxes and the reduction or release without corresponding Tax payment of any
Tax liability or provision reported in the Accounts) attributable to the Company or the
Subsidiary with respect to any period ending prior to or on the Completion Date, an
amount equal to such Tax refund shall be paid by the Purchaser, the Company, or the
Subsidiary, respectively, to the Vendor if and to the extent that

 

5

 

	 	7.1	 	the Tax refund does not result in additional or increased Taxes or other
Tax disadvantages;

	 	7.2	 	the Tax refund results from any measure taken by the Purchaser after the
Completion Date, other than the loss carryback to a period ending prior to or on the
Completion Date of a Tax attribute that arises after the Completion Date.

	 	 	 	Payments pursuant to this Clause 7 of Schedule 4 shall become due within ten (10)
Business Days after (the earlier of) (i) the Tax refund or credit has been received by a
member of the Purchaser Group, Company or the Subsidiary by payment, set-off, reduction
or release of a Tax liability or provision or otherwise, or (ii) the Tax refund has been
assessed by the competent Tax authority and become final, binding and non-amendable. The
Purchaser shall give the Vendor written notice of any Tax refund that might give rise to
a claim pursuant to this Clause without undue delay after (the earlier of) the receipt or
the assessment of such Tax refund.

	 	8.	 	Limitations on Tax Indemnification Payment

	 
	 	 	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Schedule 4, the provisions under Schedule 2 Clause 2
shall not apply in the context of this Schedule 4.

	 	9.	 	Limitation Period

	 
	 	 	 	No claim may be made against the Vendor pursuant to this Schedule 4 upon expiry of a
limitation period of (i) six months after the final or non-appealable assessment of the
relevant tax according to the German General Tax Code or (ii) the expiry of six months
after the Completion Date. If the Purchaser makes claims against the Vendor in writing
under this Schedule 4, the limitation of such claims shall be suspended. This suspension
will end after three months after such Purchaser’s writing.

	 	10.	 	Fair Market Value

	 
	 	 	 	Vendor and Purchaser agree that that for purposes of determining the fair market value
for tax purposes of the assets, liabilities, and accruals of the Company caused by the
hive out down of the Business from the Seller to the Company as per the hive out date
shall be determined on the basis of the Consideration payable under the Agreement,
including any adjustments that may be made according to the Agreement after the
Completion Date and taking into account those adjustments to be made as are required by
law or pursuant to this Agreement and each Party agrees to file all Tax Returns, and
financial reports on that basis, and will not file Tax Returns or other financial reports
in a manner inconsistent with such position. If one of the Parties infringes this Clause
10, Schedule 2 Clause 1.2 applies accordingly.

	 	11.	 	Certain Claims under the Hive Out Agreement

	 
	 	 	 	The parties agree that a claim made by the Company pursuant to Part I, Section 11, Clause
(1) of the Hive Out Agreement is a claim with respect to Taxes with respect to a period
that closes on or prior to Completion that is covered by this Schedule 4, provided
however, that the parties agree that Clause 3.2 (other than 3.2(c)) of this Schedule 4
