The Seller and each Subsidiary have complied with all applicable contractual and legal requirements pertaining to information privacy and security related to the Business. No complaint relating to an improper use or disclosure of, or a breach in the security of, any such information has been made or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller or its Subsidiary with respect to the Business. To the Knowledge of the Seller, there has been, with respect to the Business, no: (i) unauthorized disclosure of any third party proprietary or confidential information in the possession, custody or control of the Seller or its Subsidiary or (ii) breach of the Seller’s or its Subsidiary’s security procedures wherein confidential information has been disclosed to a third person. The Seller has actively policed the quality of all of the Business’s goods and services sold, distributed or marketed under each of its Trademarks and has enforced adequate quality control measures to protect its rights in Trademarks that it has licensed to others.

- 9 -

(e) Infringement by Seller. None of the Customer Offerings, or the making, using, copying, preparing derivative works of, importing, offering to sell, sale or other distribution thereof by the Seller or its Subsidiary in the manner so done by the Seller and its Subsidiary or authorized use or distribution thereof by any reseller, distributor, customer or user thereof, or any other activity of the Seller or its Subsidiary in connection with the Customer Offerings, infringes or violates, or constitutes a misappropriation of, any Intellectual Property rights of any third party. None of the Internal Systems (to the Knowledge of the Seller with respect to the Internal Systems provided by third parties), or the Seller’s or its Subsidiary’s use thereof, or any other activity undertaken by them in connection with the Business, infringes or violates, or constitutes a misappropriation of, any Intellectual Property rights of any third party. Section 2.12(e) of the Disclosure Schedule lists any complaint, claim or notice, or threat of any of the foregoing (including any notification that a license under any patent is or may be required), received by the Seller or its Subsidiary with respect to the Business alleging any such infringement, violation or misappropriation and any request or demand for indemnification or defense received by the Seller or its Subsidiary with respect to the Business from any reseller, distributor, customer, user or any other third party; and the Seller has provided to the Buyer copies of all such complaints, claims, notices, requests, demands or threats.

(f) Infringement of Rights. To the Knowledge of the Seller, no person (including, without limitation, any current or former employee or consultant of Seller or its Subsidiary) is infringing, violating or misappropriating any of the Seller Owned Intellectual Property or any Seller Licensed Intellectual Property which is exclusively licensed to the Seller or its Subsidiary. The Seller has provided to the Buyer copies of all correspondence, complaints, claims, notices or threats concerning the infringement, violation or misappropriation of any Seller Owned Intellectual Property.

(g) Outbound IP Agreements. Section 2.12(g) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies each license, covenant or other agreement pursuant to which the Seller or its Subsidiary has licensed or otherwise granted any right to any person, or covenanted not to assert any right, with respect to any existing or future Seller Intellectual Property.

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify the Buyer in respect of, and hold the Buyer harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof resulting from, relating to or constituting:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(b) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the License Agreement or the Patent License Agreement;

- 25 -

(d) the failure of the Seller, in connection with the sale of the Acquired Assets by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, to comply with, and obtain for the Buyer the benefits afforded by compliance with, any applicable bulk transfers laws if such compliance is required; or

(e) any claims of a counterparty to any of the Common Distribution Agreements listed on Schedule 5.15, but only to the extent such claims relate solely to the Dental Business.

6.2 Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller in respect of, and hold it harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Seller resulting from, relating to or constituting:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(b) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the License Agreement or the Patent License Agreement; or

6.3 Indemnification Claims.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within 20 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VI and (B) the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is liable under this Article VI and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action involving primarily criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by

- 26 -

the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.3(a) or (ii) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further liability. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, an Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party. The indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall not commence or accrue until actual receipt of the Claim Notice.

(c) Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a Response, in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer) or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.

(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.3, if a distributor of the Business which the Buyer desires to retain (and not, for avoidance of doubt, any distributor of the Business terminated by the Buyer) asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that an Indemnified Party is liable to such distributor for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, and such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such Indemnified Party may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, for any such Damages for

- 27 -

which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification under the terms of this Article VI, it being agreed that the amount paid to such distributor shall not be determinative of the amount of Damages suffered by the Indemnified Party, and that the Indemnified Party shall be obligated to prove the amount of such Damage without regard to the amount so paid and without introducing the amount paid to such distributor into evidence until the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to Damages has been determined).

(e) In the event that an Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds after being paid (or having paid with respect to a Third-Party Action) pursuant to indemnity under this Article VI, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly remit such proceeds, net of the costs of recovering such proceeds, to the Indemnifying Party up to the amount previously paid by such Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim Notice. In the event that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder receives insurance proceeds in respect of a Claim Notice for which indemnification is provided by an Indemnifying Party prior to the date such indemnification payment is due, such payment shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of insurance proceeds received by such Person, net of the costs of recovering such proceeds, with respect to such Claim Notice, less any applicable premiums and deductibles paid. Each Indemnifying Party shall be fully subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any other person (including, without limitation, rights against any insurer or under any applicable insurance policy) in respect of any Claim Notice for which the Indemnifying Party is liable hereunder, and the Indemnified Party shall execute and deliver to or upon the request of the Indemnifying Party any written confirmations of such subrogation or other assignment of rights as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to give effect to such subrogation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that an Indemnified Party receives any insurance proceeds, surety bond payments, or other payments from any other person in respect of any Claim Notice that has been paid by an Indemnifying Party hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly remit such proceeds to the Indemnifying Party.

6.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties that are covered by the indemnification agreements in Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.2(a) shall (a) survive the Closing and (b) shall expire on the date 15 months following the Closing Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the Closing without limitation and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.8 shall survive until 30 days following expiration of all statutes of limitation applicable to the matters referred to therein. If an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or an Expected Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party in writing. The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VI shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by an Indemnified Party with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder.

- 28 -

6.5 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate liability of the Seller for Damages under Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.1(b) shall not exceed Two Million Nine Hundred Forty Thousand ($2,940,000), and (ii) the Seller shall not be liable under this Section 6.1(a) unless and until the aggregate Damages for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.1(b) exceed $250,000 (at which point the Seller shall become liable for the aggregate Damages in excess of $250,000); provided that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply to (A) a claim pursuant to Section 6.1(a) relating to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.8, (B) a claim pursuant to Section 6.1(b) relating to a breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 5.1 through 5.4 or (C) to any claim pursuant to Section 6.1(c) related to Taxes. For purposes solely of this Article VI, all representations and warranties of the Seller in Article II (other than Section 2.6) shall be construed as if the term “material” and any reference to “Business Material Adverse Effect” (and variations thereof) were omitted from such representations and warranties.

(b) Except with respect to claims based on fraud or knowing misrepresentation, after the Closing the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VI and Section 8.13 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall have no obligation to pay or indemnify for (i) any Tax (or related Damages) to the extent such Tax relates to a period beginning on or after the day immediately following the Closing Date or a Buyer Obligation Period or (ii) any Transfer Tax the Buyer is responsible to pay pursuant to Section 5.4(b).

6.6 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Unless otherwise required by a determination of a Taxing authority that is final, any payments made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTY

9.1 Seller Affiliate Guaranty.

(a) Seller Affiliate is executing this Agreement solely to guaranty the payment and performance by the Seller of its obligations under Article VI hereof. Seller Affiliate hereby guarantees, as a primary obligation of Seller Affiliate, that the Seller shall fully, completely and timely pay and perform all of its obligations under Article VI hereof subject to the terms and conditions of those provisions (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). If the Seller fails or refuses to pay or perform any such obligations and liabilities, the Seller Affiliate shall, upon the written request of the Buyer (a “Performance Demand”), immediately pay or perform such obligations, as applicable. A single Performance Demand shall be effective as to any specific default during the continuance of such default until the Seller or Seller Affiliate shall have cured such default, and additional written demands concerning such default shall not be required until such default is cured.

(b) This Section 9.1 is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Other than the delivery of a Performance Demand as set forth in Section 9.1(a), there are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Section 9.1. The obligations of Seller Affiliate hereunder shall be continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(i) any exercise or non-exercise by the Buyer of any right or privilege under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreement executed pursuant to this Agreement or any notice of such exercise on non-exercise;

(ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Seller;

(iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Seller or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation;

(iv) any requirement that the Buyer exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Seller or any other person or entity before seeking to enforce the obligations of Seller Affiliate under this Section 9.1;

(v) the existence of any defense, set-off or other rights (other than a defense of payment or performance) that Seller Affiliate may have at any time against the Buyer, the Seller or any other person or entity, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;

- 43 -

(vi) any other act or failure to act or delay of any kind by the Buyer, the Seller or any other person or entity; or

(vii) any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 9.1, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of Seller Affiliate hereunder, including but not limited to all defenses of a surety.

(c) This Section 9.1 shall continue to be effective, or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or performance, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored, returned or rejected by the Buyer for any reason as determined by a court of applicable jurisdiction, including upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Seller, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Seller or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. Seller Affiliate agrees that it will indemnify the Buyer on demand for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Buyer in connection with such rescission or restoration, which amounts shall be in addition to all other obligations hereunder. If the Buyer is required to refund part or all of any payment of the Seller with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, such payment shall not constitute a release of Seller Affiliate from any liability hereunder, and Seller Affiliate’s liability hereunder shall be reinstated to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law and shall not be construed to be diminished in any manner.

(d) Seller Affiliate is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated. Seller Affiliate has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance of Seller Affiliate’s obligations hereunder, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and no other corporate action on the part of Seller Affiliate is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller Affiliate and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Seller Affiliate, enforceable against Seller Affiliate in accordance with its terms.
