Spanish Customer Transfer Agreement” means the agreement between CareFusion Iberia 308, S.L. and Natus Europe GmbH which provides for the treatment of certain tenders relating to the Business in Spain from Closing, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

“(vi) any Taxes resulting from the transactions described in Articles 3 and 4 of the Spanish Customer Transfer Agreement.”

Section 2. Designated Affiliates.

“, all increases in reasonable out-of-pocket costs in respect of Taxes (such as any Transfer Tax or VAT, including as a result of any resulting failure to be treated as a TOGC), to the Sellers or any Selling Affiliate arising as a result of any Designated Affiliate nominated by Purchaser not being formed or organized in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Purchased Assets or Transferred Employees are located immediately prior to Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.2 is intended to override or change Section 9.8 of the Agreement.”

(c) Section 9.8(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Section 3. Transfer Documents. Section 2.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end of such section:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Business Transfer Agreement entered into in connection with the Closing (a) any conflict between this Agreement and any Business Transfer Agreement is to be governed by and shall be resolved in favor of the applicable provision of this Agreement (including, by way of example, the formulation of Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities, Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities, purchase price adjustments, indemnification obligations of Purchaser and the Sellers, and allocation of Liabilities to Purchaser and the Sellers arising out of or related to Transferred Employees or Taxes), and (b) neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser will (and each party will cause its Affiliates not to) use or rely on any Business Transfer Agreement as a means of avoiding the terms and provisions of, or as a defense to any of the Sellers’ or Purchaser’s obligations under, this Agreement.”

(ii) if Closing does not occur, Purchaser shall return such Pre-Delivered Inventory to Sellers (or the applicable Selling Affiliates or Acquired Companies), at Purchaser’s cost and, upon completion of such delivery, the terms of sub-paragraph (i) above shall no longer apply to such returned Pre-Delivered Inventory.

“(l) The parties hereby acknowledge that (i) until the completion of the actions required to effect the Reorganization pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Agreement have taken place, various Employees in the United States of America are employed by an Affiliate of Sellers (the “Existing Employer”), and not by CareFusion 209, Inc (an Acquired Company) (“CareFusion 209”); (ii) the Reorganization will involve the transfer of such employees from the Existing Employer to CareFusion 209; (iii) the Existing Employer will have a Liability for U.S. payroll with respect to such Employees as of the Closing Date (the “U.S. Employee Payroll Liability”), which is reflected in the books of CareFusion 209; and (iv) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, given that the Existing Employer will be required to settle the U.S. Employee Payroll Liability via payments to the various Employees and Tax authorities and other parties, as appropriate, and yet such amount would otherwise be included in the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Net Working Capital will be increased for the amount of the U.S. Employee Payroll Liability, insofar as such liability is paid or settled by the Existing Employer and, for the sake of clarity and to avoid duplication, the amount of such payment or settlement has not been or is not taken into account in calculating the Closing Net Working Capital as another component thereof (e.g., Intercompany Receivable), and reasonably satisfactory

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser (with respect to any Shared Tooling that is an Excluded Asset or does not otherwise transfer to the Purchaser at Closing) or the Sellers (with respect to any Shared Tooling that is a Purchased Asset or held by the Acquired Companies) may provide notice to the other party hereto terminating its rights (including access and use thereof after the date of such notice) and obligations (including its portion of any maintenance or replacement costs after the date of such notice) under this Section 5.23 with respect to any such Shared Tooling owned by the other party identified in such notice.”

Section 12. Import Bond. A new Section 5.24 is hereby added to the Agreement, as follows:

The parties acknowledge and agree that, if the Purchaser fails to (or fails to cause its Designated Affiliates to) offer employment to the Employees in China (in accordance with the second sentence of Section 10.3 of the Agreement) prior to the Closing, then any dismissal of such Employees by the Sellers (or their Affiliates) will be subject to indemnification by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(ii) of the Agreement.

The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that neither the Sellers, CareFusion Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries will be in breach of Section 5.14 of the Agreement as a result of any solicitation or employment of any employees listed in Section 10.5(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or that certain Employee listed in Section 5.14 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

Section 17. Amendments to the Seller Disclosure Schedules. The Seller Disclosure Schedule is hereby supplemented, as set forth in Exhibit IV hereto. Such supplements to the Seller Disclosure Schedule are provided for informational purposes (subject to the terms of Section 11.7 of the Agreement), but no such supplement will be deemed to cure the representations and warranties to which such matters relate with respect to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(a) or otherwise affect any other term or condition contained in the Agreement.

Section 18. The Transition Services Agreement, a form of which was attached to the Agreement as Exhibit A, is hereby replaced with the form of Transition Services Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit V.

Section 21. Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction) govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Amendment and its Exhibits, including its validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement and any disputes or controversies arising therefrom or related thereto.
