2.7 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement.

(i) As soon as practicable, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative a statement (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement”) of (A) Cash and Cash Equivalents, (B) Net Working Capital, (C) Closing Indebtedness, (D) Company Transaction Expenses and (E) the KSA Net Asset Amount, which, in each case, sets forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s basis for such calculations.

(ii) After receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, Sellers’ Representative shall have sixty (60) days to review it. To the extent reasonably required to complete its review of the Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives shall have access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably required for such review. Sellers’ Representative shall deliver notice (the “Closing Date Statement Notice”) to Purchaser on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement (the “Notice Period”) either (A) specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items and a summary of the basis therefor or (B) accepting Purchaser’s Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement. If Sellers’ Representative delivers the Closing Date Statement Notice notifying Purchaser of any objections to the Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of such Closing Date Statement Notice (the “Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amount will be final and binding for all purposes under this Agreement. If Sellers’ Representative notifies Purchaser that it has accepted the Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, if Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser resolve the disputed amount(s) in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, or if Sellers’ Representative fails to provide the Closing Date Statement Notice on or prior to the last day of the Notice Period, the Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement shall be deemed final and binding and shall be the “Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement” for purposes of Section 2.7(b).

(iii) If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser have not reached an agreement on any objections with respect to the Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, then all amounts and issues remaining in dispute will be submitted by Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser to a mutually acceptable independent (i.e., no prior business relationship with Purchaser, the Company or the Sellers) accounting firm that is one of the ten

26

largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Neutral Auditor”) for a determination resolving such amounts and issues. Purchaser agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditor, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Neutral Auditor. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditor will be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items submitted to the Neutral Auditor by Purchaser or Sellers’ Representative that are unsuccessfully disputed by it (as finally determined by the Neutral Auditor) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser and the Sellers in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Neutral Auditor will be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense. The Neutral Auditor shall determine only those issues still in dispute at the end of the Resolution Period and the Neutral Auditor’s determination will be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination by the Neutral Auditor will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative to the Neutral Auditor and not on the Neutral Auditor’s independent review. Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Neutral Auditor of the disputed items (but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after engagement of the Neutral Auditor), and each of Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other and any questions and requests of the Neutral Auditor. In deciding any matter, the Neutral Auditor (A) will be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.7(a) and (B) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or Sellers’ Representative or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Purchaser or Sellers’ Representative.

(iv) The Neutral Auditor’s determination will be made within forty-five (45) days after its engagement (which engagement will be made no later than five (5) Business Days after the end of the Resolution Period), or as soon thereafter as possible, will be set forth in a written statement delivered to Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser and will be final, binding, non-appealable, and enforceable as an arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction under the terms of the Federal Arbitration Act or its state law equivalents for all purposes hereunder; provided that such determination may be reviewed, corrected or set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction, but only upon a finding that the Neutral Auditor committed manifest error with respect to its determination. The term “Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement” means the definitive Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement deemed to be the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(ii) or the definitive Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement resulting from the determination made by the Neutral Auditor in accordance with this Section 2.7(a)(iv), as applicable.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustments.

(i) Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(A) Downward Adjustment. If the Net Working Capital, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, is less than the estimated Net Working

27

Capital, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the Aggregate Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such shortfall.

(B) Upward Adjustment. If the Net Working Capital, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, is greater than the estimated Net Working Capital, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the Aggregate Purchase Price will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess.

(ii) Cash and Cash Equivalents Adjustment.

(A) Downward Adjustment. If Cash and Cash Equivalents, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, are less than the estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the Aggregate Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such shortfall.

(B) Upward Adjustment. If Cash and Cash Equivalents, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, are greater than the estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the Aggregate Purchase Price will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess.

(iii) Indebtedness Adjustment.

(A) Downward Adjustment. If Closing Indebtedness, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, is greater than the estimated Closing Indebtedness, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the Aggregate Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess.

(B) Upward Adjustment. If Closing Indebtedness, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, is less than the estimated Closing Indebtedness, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the Aggregate Purchase Price will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such shortfall.

(iv) Company Transaction Expenses Adjustment.

(A) Downward Adjustment. If Company Transaction Expenses, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, are greater than the estimated Company Transaction Expenses, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the Aggregate Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess.

(B) Upward Adjustment. If Company Transaction Expenses, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, are less than the estimated Company Transaction Expenses, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the Aggregate Purchase Price will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such shortfall.

The amount of any decrease to the Aggregate Purchase Price, pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), shall be paid to Purchaser in cash from the funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account, which shall be Purchaser’s sole source of recovery for any such decrease to the Aggregate Purchase Price. The amount of any increase to the Aggregate Purchase Price, pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), shall be

28

paid by Purchaser to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages set forth in the Allocation Schedule, to the bank accounts designated by Sellers’ Representative in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, by wire transfer in immediately available funds; provided, however, that the portion of any such payment to Stock Seller by Purchaser shall be adjusted by any amount due to or from Stock Seller pursuant to Section 2.7(c). Within three (3) Business Days after the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement is deemed final in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(ii) or determined by the Neutral Auditor in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(iv), (1) Purchaser shall make any payment required thereby pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) and (2) Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent in writing to pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (x) any funds owed to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) from the Adjustment Escrow Account to the account designated by Purchaser and (y) the remainder thereof, if any, to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage set forth in the Allocation Schedule to the accounts designated by Sellers’ Representative in accordance with the Allocation Schedule.

(c) Post-Closing Adjustment of the Portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price Paid to Stock Seller.

(i) If the KSA Net Asset Amount, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, is greater than the estimated KSA Net Asset Amount, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable by Purchaser to Stock Seller, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess and such amount shall be paid by Purchaser to Stock Seller in accordance with Section 2.7(b).

(ii) If the KSA Net Asset Amount, as set forth on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet Statement, is less than the estimated KSA Net Asset Amount, as set forth on the Closing Payment Statement, the portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable by Purchaser to Stock Seller, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such shortfall and such amount shall reduce any amount required to be paid by Purchaser to Stock Seller in accordance with Section 2.7(b); provided, however, that if such KSA Net Asset Amount shortfall exceeds the amount to be paid to Stock Seller by Purchaser, then Stock Seller shall pay the amount of such excess directly to Purchaser.

(d) Adjustment of the Aggregate Purchase Price; Exclusive Remedy. Payment of any amount owed pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, the provisions of this Section 2.7 and the arbitration provisions contemplated hereby shall be the exclusive remedy and exclusive forum of the parties with respect to the matters that are or that may be addressed through the purchase price adjustments contemplated hereby.

2.8 Escrow Agreement. Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall, at the Closing, execute an Escrow Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Escrow Agreement”), which provides for the Adjustment Escrow Amount to be held in escrow following the Closing Date and to be disbursed in accordance with Section 2.7 and the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

29

2.9 Withholding. Purchaser or its paying agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under any applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Purchaser or its paying agents, such deducted and withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted by Purchaser or its paying agents (or its designated Person) to the applicable Governmental Authority and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. If Purchaser determines that any such deduction or withholding is so required, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly (and no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is made) notify each applicable Person of any intention to so deduct and withhold and provide such Person the opportunity to provide any statement, form, or other documentation that would reduce or eliminate any such requirement to deduct and withhold, and cooperate with such Person as reasonably requested with respect to the filing of any Tax Return or conduct of any claim relating to any available refund of such amount remitted. Each Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and shall provide such information as reasonably necessary for Purchaser to determine whether any amounts are so required to be deducted and withheld.

2.10 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) No later than sixty (60) days after the determination of Net Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7), Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers’ Representative an allocation of the portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price allocated to the Purchased Units among the Company assets in a manner consistent with the applicable provisions of the Code and the methodologies set forth on Schedule 2.10(a) (the “Purchaser’s Draft Allocation”). If Sellers’ Representative disagrees with the Purchaser’s Draft Allocation, the Sellers’ Representative may, within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Purchaser’s Draft Allocation, deliver a notice (“Sellers’ Allocation Notice”) to Purchaser to such effect, specifying those items as to which Sellers’ Representative disagrees, the reasons for such disagreement, and Sellers’ Representative’s proposed allocation of the portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price allocated to the Purchased Units. If Sellers’ Representative does not timely deliver a Seller’s Allocation Notice, Sellers’ Representative will be deemed to have agreed to the Purchaser’s Draft Allocation. If Seller’s Allocation Notice is delivered to Purchaser within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser will negotiate in good faith for a period not to exceed twenty (20) Business Days from the receipt of Seller’s Allocation Notice to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation. If agreement is not reached within such twenty (20) Business Day period, the Purchaser’s Draft Allocation, with Sellers’ Allocation Notice, shall be submitted to the Neutral Auditor for resolution. The determination by the Neutral Auditor shall be final and binding upon the parties absent manifest error, and the costs incurred in retaining the Neutral Auditor shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by the Sellers’ Representative.

(b) Once all adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price have been made pursuant to Section 2.7, and all disagreements, if any, regarding the Purchaser’s Draft Allocation have been resolved as provided in Section 2.10(a), the parties shall amend the allocation of the Aggregate Purchase Price allocated to the Purchased Units, consistent with the allocations described in this Section 2.10, to reflect any appropriate adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price Allocation”).

30

(c) The parties hereby undertake and agree to timely file any Tax Return that may be required to be filed pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1060(b) of the Code or any other applicable Law. Neither party shall file any Tax Return or other document or otherwise take any position which is inconsistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation determined pursuant to this Section 2.10, except as may be adjusted by subsequent agreement following an audit by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority or by an Order; provided, that neither party (nor their respective Affiliates) shall be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation by any Governmental Authority. The parties hereto shall promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to the Final Purchase Price Allocation and agree to consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the state of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.

(A) as soon as practicable, and in any event, no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties hereto, to file the initial pre-merger notifications with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein required under the HSR Act (which filing, including the exhibits thereto, need not be shared or otherwise disclosed to the other parties except to outside counsel of each party) for each of Purchaser and the Sellers, in each case, to the extent available under applicable Law, requesting early termination of the waiting period with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and to file as soon as practicable any notification or other form necessary to obtain any consents, clearances or approvals required under or in connection with any other antitrust Law;

65

(B) to promptly provide to each and every federal, state, local or foreign court or Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable antitrust law, non-privileged information and documents requested by any such Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any such approval of such Governmental Authority that is necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(C) to use reasonable best efforts to take, and to cause each of its Affiliates to take, any and all actions necessary to obtain any consents, authorizations, permits, orders, clearances or approvals required under or in connection with any antitrust Law, enable all waiting periods under any antitrust Law to expire or be terminated and avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust Law asserted by any Governmental Authority, in each case, to enable the transactions contemplated hereby to occur prior to the Termination Date, including promptly complying with or modifying any requests for additional information (including any second request) by any Governmental Authority; and

(D) to refrain from entering into any agreement, arrangement or other understanding to acquire any assets or properties that would prevent or materially delay receipt of any approval under the HSR Act or other antitrust Law or prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, reasonable best efforts necessary to obtain any consents, clearances or approvals required under or in connection with the HSR Act or any other antitrust law, and to enable all waiting periods under the HSR Act or any other antitrust law to expire, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act or any other antitrust law asserted by any Governmental Authority, in each case, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including (A) offering, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, a hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any and all of the capital stock, assets, rights, products, Contracts, businesses or other operations or interests therein of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Purchaser or its Affiliates; and (B) contesting, defending and appealing any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of any party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and taking any and all other actions to prevent the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, it being understood that (1) the Company shall be under no obligation to take any of the actions contemplated by the foregoing clause (A) with respect to itself or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) the absence of such obligations on the Company in no way limits Purchaser’s obligations thereunder and (3) there shall be no diminution, offset or any other deduction from the purchase price for any action taken pursuant to the foregoing clause (A).

(iii) Purchaser and Sellers will not withdraw their initial filing under the HSR Act or any other antitrust Law, as the case may be, and refile it unless both Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser have consented in writing in advance to such withdrawal and refiling. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Seller, the Company or their respective Affiliates to take or agree to take any action with respect to the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’

66

business operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing.

(e) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements to which the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (including the Material Contracts) and such consents have not been (and may not be) obtained. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to Closing, Purchaser and the Company (to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser and at Purchaser’s expense) shall each use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents as Purchaser may so seek to obtain; provided that failure to obtain any such consent shall not delay or prevent the Closing or any in way be deemed to be a pre-condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that no party shall be required to expend any funds or issue any item of value to obtain any such consent which Purchaser may seek to obtain.

6.4 Satisfaction of Conditions. During the period from the date hereof to the earlier of immediately prior to the Closing and the date that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Article VIII and Article IX to be satisfied and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, in each case as promptly as practicable after the date hereof.

6.5 Intercompany Arrangements.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, all services (including cash management and treasury, accounting, Tax, insurance, human resources and employee benefits, environmental, banking, legal, data network and other services) provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Water Street Group Company, including any agreements or understandings (written or oral) with respect thereto, will immediately terminate without any further action on the part of the parties thereto and, except for any liabilities or obligations with respect thereto reflected in the finalized calculation of Net Working Capital or the Company Transaction Expenses pursuant to this Agreement, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or any Water Street Group Company or any of its post-Closing Affiliates, on the other hand, shall have any further liability or obligation with respect to any such terminated agreement or understanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Closing, the coverage under all insurance policies maintained by any Seller, any Water Street Group Company and/or any of their respective post-Closing Affiliates related to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, insurance policies maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which any of the foregoing Persons are the exclusive named insureds) shall continue in force only for the benefit of the Sellers and their post-Closing Affiliates and not for the benefit of Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any of the Company and its Subsidiaries).

(b) Each Water Street Group Company and/or any of their respective post-Closing Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.5. Without limiting the right of any such Persons under this Agreement, the Sellers may enforce the rights of each of them under this Section 6.5.

67

6.6 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Guarantor and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or, in the event any portion or all of such Financing becomes unavailable or otherwise undesirable, alternative financing with lenders reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, in an amount sufficient, when added to the available cash of Purchaser and any portion of the remaining Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter, if any, and any other sources available to Guarantor or Purchaser, to fund the payment of the Purchase Amount) as and to the extent (but only to the extent) required to fund the Purchase Amount and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed following the Company’s written request with respect to the status of Purchaser’s and Guarantor’s efforts to arrange the Financing (or replacement thereof). Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of each executed Commitment Letter (including, in the case of any alternative financing, new financing commitment letters that provide for such alternative financing) and any related fee letters (redacted as to economic terms and other commercially sensitive numbers and provisions specified in any such fee letter (including any provisions relating to “flex” terms or similar concepts), excluding in each case, any such provisions that could adversely affect the amount of the financing or the funding thereof). Purchaser shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, agree to any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter or any Debt Financing Document unless the terms and conditions thereof, as so amended, modified or waived, are in the aggregate at least as favorable to the Company and its Subsidiaries and Purchaser as those contained therein prior to giving effect to such amendment, modification or waiver; provided, that Purchaser may, without the Company’s prior written consent, enter into any amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Commitment Letter or any Debt Financing Document that would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the timely consummation of the Debt Financing or the conditions precedent set forth in the Commitment Letter.

(b) The Company shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, provide such cooperation that is reasonably requested by Guarantor or Purchaser to assist Guarantor and Purchaser in arranging, obtaining and syndicating any of the Financing, including, without limitation, by:

(i) providing customary information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as reasonably requested by Purchaser to assist Purchaser and the Financing Entities in their preparation of (A) materials for lender presentations, confidential information memoranda (public and non-public) and similar documents customary or required in connection with the Financing and (B) customary pro forma financial statements reflecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing (it being understood that nothing in this Section 6.6(b) shall require the Company to prepare any pro forma financial statements);

(ii) as promptly as practicable, on an ongoing basis until the Closing, furnishing Guarantor, Purchaser and the Financing Entities with the Required Financial Information (the receipt of which by Purchaser is hereby acknowledged) and such other financial

68

information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as is customary or reasonably necessary for the arrangement, syndication and completion of the Financing;

(iii) if requested in writing by Guarantor at least eight (8) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, furnish to Guarantor, Purchaser and the Financing Parties all information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries that is reasonably requested by Guarantor or Purchaser to the extent required in connection with the Financing by regulatory authorities under applicable “beneficial ownership,” “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, so long as the Company has not less than five (5) Business Days to furnish such information); and

(iv) providing customary authorization letters authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders and containing a customary representation to the Financing Parties for the Financing that such information does not contain a material misstatement or omission.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing in the foregoing Section 6.6(b) will require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to:

(i) pay or agree to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing Date for which it has not received prior reimbursement;

(ii) take any action or provide any assistance that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

(iii) take any action or provide any information that will conflict with or violate its organizational documents, any Contract by which such Person is bound or any applicable Laws, or (in the case of the disclosure of information) would result in the waiver of any legal privilege (provided, however, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide an alternative means of disclosing or providing such information to the maximum extent permitted by Law or to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of such legal privilege, as applicable, and in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not provide access or information in reliance on this clause, the Company shall provide notice to Purchaser that information is being withheld);

(iv) give indemnities that are effective prior to the Closing Date;

(v) pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing or any definitive agreements with respect thereto prior to the Closing Date, provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives shall cooperate with Guarantor and Purchaser to replace any officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries who will not be employed thereby immediately after Closing with Persons designated by Purchaser and to add any officers and directors designated by Purchaser, such replacements and additions to become effective immediately at Closing;

69

(vi) cause the execution of any certificates or other documents (other than customary authorization and representation letters) by any employee whose employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will terminate prior to or upon Closing or that are effective prior to the Closing (other than customary authorization and representation letters);

(vii) take any action or provide any assistance pursuant to this Section 6.6 that would reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to a director or officer or cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any Ancillary Documents to be breached or to become inaccurate; or

(viii) take any action or provide any assistance that involves preparing or providing to Purchaser or any financing sources any financial statements or other information that is not available to the Company and prepared in the ordinary course of its financial reporting practice.

In addition, no action, liability or obligation of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument (other than customary authorization and representation letters) relating to the Financing will be required to be effective until the Closing Date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor and Purchaser will be permitted to disclose any information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any Financing Parties, prospective Financing Parties and lenders under the Existing Purchaser Debt (and, in each case, to their respective Representatives) so long as such information is furnished by Guarantor or Purchaser subject to customary confidentiality undertakings or arrangements in connection with the Financing or the Existing Purchaser Debt, as applicable. The Company hereby consents to the use of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing and the Existing Debt Joinders, provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is reasonable and customary for such purposes and that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective products, services, offerings or intellectual property rights.

(e) Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, but excluding the costs of the Company’s preparation of its annual and quarterly financial statements) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives contemplated by Section 6.6(a) or Section 6.6(b) and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with any cooperation pursuant to Section 6.6(a) or Section 6.6(b) and any information used in connection therewith, except with respect to (i) any information provided in writing by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the Financing (to the extent used as it was provided) or (ii) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct by any such persons or material breach by any such persons of their obligations under this Agreement.

Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Sellers’ Representative, Purchaser shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, to destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of its books and records, or any portions thereof, relating to periods prior to the Closing Date and/or matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without first giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Sellers’ Representative and offering to surrender to Sellers’ Representative such books and records or such portions thereof.

71

request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any D&O Indemnified Party; provided that the Person to whom Costs are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such Costs if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Closing, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of the D&O Indemnified Parties with an insurer with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ insurer as of the date of this Agreement with benefits, terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage (“D&O Coverage”) that are at least as favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties as the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing policies with respect to any matters that existed or occurred at or prior to the Closing (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby) (“D&O Insurance”), or Purchaser shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits, terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that (i) Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 200% of the annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company or its Subsidiaries for such insurance and (ii) if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage at any time exceed such amount described in the foregoing clause (i), then Purchaser, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary shall obtain a policy which, in its good faith determination, provides the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) If Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser, the Company or any such Subsidiary of the Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2.

All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any D&O Indemnified Party as provided in the organizational documents of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such D&O Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the consummation of the transactions

72

contemplated hereby and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such D&O Indemnified Party.

7.3 Personnel Matters.

(a) Purchaser agrees that, consistent with applicable Law, (i) during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary thereof, each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries who continues employment with Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing (the “Continuing Employees”) will be provided with (A) base salary or wages that are no less favorable than those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (B) severance benefits which are no less favorable than those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (C) health and welfare benefits and other employee benefits (excluding equity and equity based arrangements, retiree welfare and defined pension benefit plans) substantially similar in the aggregate to such health and welfare benefits and other employee benefits made available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and (ii) during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on March 31, 2021, the Continuing Employees will be provided with cash bonus opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, cash bonuses for the 2020 calendar year shall be paid on or before February 28, 2021 in accordance with the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s bonus plan as of the Closing); provided, further, that the cash bonuses for the period beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending on March 31, 2021 shall be paid on or before June 30, 2021 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, so long as the applicable employee remains employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries through March 31, 2021, there shall be no requirement of employment through June 30, 2021 for receipt of such bonus, notwithstanding the terms of any applicable bonus plans). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Continuing Employees will only be eligible to participate in the STERIS Corporation 401(k) Plan (“STERIS 401(k) Plan”) effective on the first day of the payroll period that begins after the Continuing Employees have been continuously employed by an ERISA Affiliate of Purchaser for a period of ninety (90) days and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the STERIS 401(k) Plan.

(b) Purchaser shall cause any employee benefit plan providing for paid time off in which the Continuing Employees are entitled to participate after the Closing to take into account for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and level of benefits thereunder, service for the Company and its Subsidiaries as if such service were with Purchaser, to the same extent such service was credited under a comparable paid time off plan of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (except to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits, and except for accruals under any defined benefit pension plan), and not for purposes of any other Benefit Plan of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, including any short-term disability benefit provided by the Purchaser.

(c) Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain prior to the Closing a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its Subsidiaries from each Incentive Unit Holder and the Phantom Unit Holder with respect to any payments such Incentive Unit Holder or the Phantom Unit Holder will receive pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement, including: (i) an acknowledgement by the holder that any payment received under this Agreement in exchange for any Incentive Units or Phantom Units then held by such holder is in full

73

satisfaction of any obligations of the Company or its Affiliates to the holder with respect to such Incentive Units or Phantom Units, as applicable, and (ii) an indemnity by which each Incentive Unit Holder and the Phantom Unit Holder holds the Company and its Subsidiaries harmless from any Taxes payable by such Incentive Unit Holder or the Phantom Unit Holder, as applicable. Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser drafts of the form of release to be provided to Incentive Unit Holders and the Phantom Unit Holder in connection with this Section 7.3(c) promptly following the date hereof, and Sellers shall incorporate any revisions reasonably requested by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, obtaining the release from the Incentive Unit Holders and the Phantom Unit Holder as described in this Section 7.3(c) is not a condition to Closing.

(d) The Company shall terminate the Key Surgical LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust and any other Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Company 401(k) Plans”), effective no later than the day prior to the Closing. In advance of any such termination, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser drafts of any corporate actions to be taken to terminate any such Company 401(k) Plans, and the Company shall incorporate any revisions reasonably requested by Purchaser within three (3) Business Days before adoption. As soon as practicable following the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to, prepare and file with the IRS an Application for Determination for Terminating Plan on Form 5310 and, if necessary, in the opinion of the Purchaser, a submission to the IRS under the Voluntary Correction with the Internal Revenue Service Approval Program of the Employee Plan Compliance Resolution System with respect to each Company 401(k) Plan, and will prepare and file all other information required to be submitted in connection therewith, in accordance with applicable IRS requirements, including requirements concerning Notices to Interested Parties. The Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall cause proper administration of each such Company 401(k) Plan to continue during the pendency of the IRS determination request, and will take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to obtain a favorable determination letter, the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall oversee termination distributions from each such Company 401(k) Plan, in accordance with the terms of the respective Benefit Plan documents. Any such Benefit Plan which is a defined benefit plan covered by Title IV of ERISA shall be terminated with the PBGC as a Standard Termination on PBGC Form 500.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.3 are for the sole benefit of the parties and shall not (i) be deemed to constitute the adoption, amendment or modification of any employee benefit plan, including the Benefit Plans, or limit the right of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan, including the Benefit Plans, (ii) limit the right of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to terminate any employee at any time and for any reason (subject to severance and other related obligations as set forth herein), or (iii) create any third party beneficiary other rights in any other Person, including for the avoidance of doubt any employee, former employee, employee representative, or any participant in any employee benefit plan of Sellers, Purchaser or any of its or their Affiliates, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof.

7.4 WARN Act Notice. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for providing any notice required under the WARN Act in respect of the termination after the Closing of the employment of any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in the United States, and shall indemnify and hold the Sellers harmless from any liability arising from any failure

74

of Purchaser to comply fully with the foregoing covenant; provided, however, that as of the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with true and accurate information regarding any employee who was involuntarily terminated in the six (6) months prior to the Closing Date, including the effective date of the termination, the reason for termination, and the employee’s work location. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4, Purchaser shall not be responsible for any WARN liability resulting from Sellers’ failure to comply with their obligation to provide true and accurate information consistent with this Section 7.4.

7.5 Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a) Sellers’ Representative, at the sole cost and expense of the Sellers, shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed any Tax Returns of each of KSA Inc., KSA LLC, the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, for any Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date (and any amendments thereto) to be filed before, on, or after the Closing Date (a “Seller Prepared Tax Return”). To the extent that a Seller Prepared Tax Return needs to be filed after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause KSA Inc., KSA LLC, or the Company (or its applicable Subsidiary), as the case may be, to file such Tax Return.

Purchaser will provide any comments to Seller’s Representative as promptly as practicable (and not later than ten (10) days after receiving any such Seller Prepared Income Tax Return) and, if Purchaser does not provide any comments within ten (10) days, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted such Seller Prepared Income Tax Return. Sellers’ Representative shall accept all reasonable comments provided by Purchaser with respect to any Seller Prepared Income Tax Return submitted to Purchaser for review and comments. Prior to the due date for any Seller Prepared Income Tax Return, Sellers’ Representative, on one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall work together in good faith to resolve any disagreements with respect to such Seller Prepared Income Tax Return. Prior to the due date of any Seller Prepared Tax Return that is due to be filed after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause KSA Inc., KSA LLC, or the Company (or its applicable Subsidiary), as the case may be, to sign and timely file such Seller Prepared Tax Return, taking into account all changes to which parties agreed in the process of resolving any disagreements with respect to any Seller Prepared Income Tax Return. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not, and shall not allow the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) to, amend any Seller Prepared Tax Return or otherwise initiate (or agree to) any other Seller Representative Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The parties agree that the applicable Seller Prepared Tax Returns (i) shall include any deductions with respect to the Transaction Deductions and other items incurred by the Sellers, and (ii) to the extent applicable, shall include an election under Revenue Procedure 2011-29.

(b) From and after the Closing, except for Seller Prepared Tax Returns described in Section 7.5(a), Purchaser shall be responsible for the preparation of all Tax Returns for KSA Inc., KSA LLC, the Company and its Subsidiaries.

75

submit such Purchaser Prepared Income Tax Return to Sellers’ Representative for Sellers’ Representative’s review and comments. Sellers’ Representative will provide any comments to Purchaser as promptly as practicable (and not later than ten (10) days after receiving any such Purchaser Prepared Income Tax Return) and, if Sellers’ Representative does not provide any comments within ten (10) days, Sellers’ Representative will be deemed to have accepted such Purchaser Prepared Income Tax Return. Purchaser shall accept all reasonable comments provided by Sellers’ Representative with respect to any Purchaser Prepared Income Tax Return submitted to Sellers’ Representative for review and comments. Prior to the due date for any Purchaser Prepared Income Tax Return, Sellers’ Representative, on one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall work together in good faith to resolve any disagreements with respect to such Purchaser Prepared Income Tax Return. The parties agree that the applicable Purchaser Prepared Income Tax Returns (x) shall include any deductions with respect to the Transaction Deductions and other items incurred by the Sellers (with such deductions allocated to the pre-closing portion of such tax period), and (y) to the extent applicable, shall include an election under Revenue Procedure 2011-29. Except as otherwise taken into account in calculating the Aggregate Purchase Price (including any adjustments under Section 2.7), from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Taxes due and owing with respect to KSA Inc., KSA LLC, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries.

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.5 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention for the full period of any statute of limitations and (upon any other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(d) To the extent permissible under applicable Laws, the parties agree to elect (and have KSA Inc., KSA LLC, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries elect) to have each Tax year of the applicable entity end on the Closing Date and, if such election is not permitted or required in a jurisdiction with respect to a specific Tax such that KSA Inc., KSA LLC, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to file a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, to utilize the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall equal the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes), the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if each applicable entity filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology” (and for such purpose, the taxable year of any partnership or other pass-through entity or any controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to end on the Closing Date). For purposes of applying the

76

foregoing, (A) any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) for income Tax purposes shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; (B) any Tax or item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit from a Purchaser Closing Date Transaction shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date; and (C) any item of deduction attributable to any Transaction Deductions shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

7.6 No Section 338 Election. No party hereto nor any Affiliate thereof shall make an election under Section 338 of the Code or any similar provision of foreign, state or local Law in respect of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Equity, any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.7 Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be borne equally by Sellers and Purchaser, and the parties shall cooperate in the filing of all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes.

7.8 Section 6226 Election and Section 754 Election.

(a) Section 6226 Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative will not, and will not permit any other Person to, elect under Section 1101(g)(4) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 to have the amendments made by such provisions apply to any income Tax Return of the Company with respect to any Tax period beginning on or before December 31, 2017. The Sellers and Sellers’ Representative agree that if the IRS (or applicable state Governmental Authority) issues a notice of final partnership adjustment assessing an “imputed underpayment” against the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date beginning after December 31, 2017, or any Tax period beginning on or before December 31, 2017 for which an election under Section 1101(g)(4) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 was made, the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) shall make the election under Section 6226 of the Code (or any similar provision of Law) and the Sellers and Sellers’ Representative agree to cooperate, and to cause its respective Affiliates and the “partnership representative” and “designated individual” (as those terms are used in Section 6223 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 301.6223-1(b)(3) (or any similar provision of Law)) of the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable), to cooperate with Purchaser and its Affiliates, in making such election, including by timely providing information reasonably requested by Purchaser or the Company and assisting the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) in the preparation of any statements or other information required to be provided to the IRS or any other Person as required by Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (or any similar provision of Law).

(b) Purchaser will keep the Sellers and Sellers’ Representative informed of all administrative and judicial proceedings relating to any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date beginning after December 31, 2017, or any Tax period beginning on or before December 31, 2017 for which an election under Section 1101(g)(4) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 was made, for which the Company or any Subsidiary (as applicable) intends to make the election (a

77

“push out election”) under Section 6226 of the Code (or any similar provision of Law). The Company and Purchaser shall (i) promptly after receiving any written or oral notice from the IRS or any state or local taxing authority regarding Taxes of the Company or any meeting or other proceeding regarding such Taxes, furnish a copy of such written communication or notice or inform Sellers and Sellers’ Representative in writing of the substance of any such oral communication, (ii) keep Sellers and Sellers’ Representative apprised of the commencement, development and settlement of each audit, administrative hearing, or other proceedings regarding the Company’s tax matters, and (iii) shall make no concession to, or agreement with, the IRS concerning such Tax period which could increase the potential Tax liability of any Seller affected by the pushout election, without first consulting with the Sellers or Sellers’ Representative.

(c) Section 754 Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at the discretion of Purchaser, the Company, to the extent an election under Section 754 of the Code is not already in effect with respect to the Company, will make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code for the tax year that includes the Closing Date.

7.9 Prior Tax Agreements. The Sellers shall terminate or cause to be terminated any and all of the Tax sharing, allocation, indemnification or similar agreements, arrangements or undertakings in effect, written or unwritten, on the Closing Date as between any Seller or Affiliate thereof (other than between and among KSA Inc., KSA LLC, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and KSA Inc., KSA LLC, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, regardless of the period in which such Taxes are imposed, and there shall be no continuing obligation to make any payments under any such agreements, arrangements or undertakings.

7.10 Interim Operations. During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on, and including, the Closing Date, each of KSA Inc., KSA LLC, the Company and each of the Company’s Subsidiaries shall not: (i) make any Tax election, other than in the ordinary course of filing periodic Tax Returns, (ii) change or rescind any material Tax election, (iii) change or consent to any change in its method of accounting for Tax purposes (except as required by applicable Law), (iv) amend any material Tax Return, (v) settle, compromise, concede or abandon any Tax material liability, claim or assessment, (vi) enter into any closing agreement with any Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 1313 of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, (vii) waive or extend any statute of limitation with respect to any material Taxes, (viii) obtain any Tax ruling, or (ix) restructure, capitalize or otherwise modify any intercompany loans, in each case, without prior written consent from Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

7.11 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality.

(a) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, each of O’Connell and Milchman shall not (and shall cause his Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world, either for himself or through any other Person, have an ownership interest in, manage, participate, operate, control, permit his name to be used by, perform services for or otherwise become involved in (whether as an officer, director, manager, employee, investor, partner, proprietor, stockholder, member, trustee, consultant, agent, representative, broker, promoter or otherwise), any Person engaging or contemplating engaging in a Competing Business;

78

provided, however, that (i) nothing shall prohibit O’Connell, Milchman or any of their respective Affiliates from having a passive ownership interest of not more than two percent (2.0%) of any publicly-traded entity, so long as no such Person participates in any way in the management, operation or control of such publicly-traded entity, and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall prohibit O’Connell or Milchman from engaging in any activities or performing any services on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date with respect to O’Connell and Milchman only, and for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date with respect to each other Restricted Party, each Restricted Party shall not (and shall cause his or its Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, either for himself or itself or through any other Person, hire, solicit or induce, or attempt to hire, solicit or induce, any (i) salaried employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries employed in the United States as of the Closing Date and (ii) employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries employed in Europe in any commercial or strategic role (including sales and marketing, finance, manufacturing, management R&D, product management, product sourcing and logistics and general management) as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Key Employees”) to leave the employ of the Company or its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such Key Employee and the Company or its Affiliates; provided, that nothing in this Section 7.11(b) shall be deemed to prohibit any Restricted Party or its Affiliates from hiring, soliciting or inducing, or attempting to hire, solicit or induce, any Key Employee at any time following the date such Key Employee is terminated by the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, each Restricted Party shall hold, and cause his or its Affiliates to hold, in confidence and not disclose to any third party and shall not use, and cause his or its Affiliates not to use, for any purpose, any Confidential Information; provided, however, that such Restricted Party and his or its Affiliates shall be permitted to use such information (i) as may be reasonably required by such Person in connection with any Tax audits, governmental investigations or other similar proceedings involving such Restricted Party or such Affiliates, (ii) to comply with such Restricted Party’s obligations, or to enforce his or its rights, under this Agreement and each Ancillary Document or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or appropriate Order.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Restricted Party and its Affiliates may (A) disclose Confidential Information to any of their respective direct or indirect equityholders, partners, directors, officers and/or representatives, management companies, general partners or limited partners, tax, legal and accounting advisors and lenders that have agreed or been instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential and (B) disclose information of a type customarily provided by private equity funds with respect to their prior portfolio companies to past, current or potential limited partners or investors for fund raising, marketing and/or reporting purposes.

79

(d) Each Restricted Party agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 7.11 are reasonably designed to protect Purchaser’s substantial investment and are reasonable with respect to duration, geographic area and scope. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 7.11 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the 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 term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

11.2 Survival After Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Purchaser or Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) as provided in Section 11.1 above, this Agreement (and the provisions hereof) shall immediately become void and of no further force and effect (other than Section 6.2, this Section 11.2, Article XII and the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Purchaser, any Seller or the Company to one another or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (i) that no such termination shall relieve any such party from liability for any Willful Breach (as defined below) by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to the time of such termination and (ii) as provided above, with respect to Section 6.2, this Section 11.2, Article XII and the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement.

Each party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the obligations of the other parties hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief. Each party hereby waives any defense that a remedy at law would be adequate in any action for specific performance and any requirement under any law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

12.13 Disclosure Schedule. The disclosures in the Disclosure Schedule concerning the Restricted Parties, the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries are to be taken as relating to the representations and warranties of the Restricted Parties, the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole, notwithstanding the fact that the Disclosure Schedule is arranged by sections corresponding to the sections in this Agreement or that a particular section of this Agreement makes reference to a specific section of the Disclosure Schedule and notwithstanding that a particular representation and warranty may not make a reference to the Disclosure Schedule. The inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation of any kind exists with respect to any item, nor shall it be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that such information is material to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Restricted Parties. In addition, matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Neither the specifications of any dollar amount in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement or otherwise. Further, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the Ordinary Course of Business, and no party shall use the fact of setting forth or the inclusion of any such items or matter in any dispute or controversy involving any of the parties hereto as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedule is or is not in the Ordinary Course of Business for purposes of this Agreement.

92

12.14 Legal Representation; Related Matters. It is acknowledged by each of the parties hereto that the Company and each Restricted Party have retained Winston & Strawn LLP (“W&S”), Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP (“Arnold & Porter”) and/or Stinson LLP (“Stinson”) to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that W&S, Arnold & Porter and Stinson have not acted as counsel for any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that none of the other parties has the status of a client of W&S, Arnold & Porter or Stinson for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Purchaser hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser, on the one hand, and any Restricted Party and/or any of its respective post-Closing Affiliates, on the other hand, W&S, Arnold & Porter and/or Stinson may represent such Restricted Party or Affiliate in such dispute even though the interests of such Restricted Party or Affiliate may be directly adverse to Purchaser, the Company and/or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, and even though W&S, Arnold & Porter and/or Stinson may have represented the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Purchaser further agrees that, as to all communications among W&S, Arnold & Porter and/or Stinson and the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any Restricted Party and/or any of their respective post-Closing Affiliates that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Restricted Parties and may be controlled thereby, and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a third party, on the other hand (other than a party to this Agreement or any of its Affiliates) after the Closing, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Purchaser (including on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by W&S, Arnold & Porter or Stinson to such third party; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative.

12.15 No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement. Except to the extent named as a party to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, no past, present or future shareholder, member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee (present or former), Affiliate, financing source or agent or representative of any party to this Agreement will have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no claim will be brought or maintained by the Purchaser or any of its successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, manager, employee (present or former), partner, financing source or Affiliate of any party to this Agreement, or any agent or representative of any of the foregoing, which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party to this Agreement, and no recourse will be granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any party hereto set forth or contained in

93

this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder, or otherwise, in relation to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

12.16 Guarantee. As an inducement to the Sellers to enter into this Agreement, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Sellers, the prompt and full payment, performance and discharge by Purchaser of all obligations which are or may become due by Purchaser under this Agreement as and when payable and as and when required to be performed, including, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Any Seller may pursue the enforcement of any Guaranteed Obligations directly against Guarantor, without first pursuing any remedies against Purchaser. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing absolute and unconditional guarantee from Guarantor of Purchaser’s payment and performance under this Agreement and shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by (a) any acceleration, extension, modification or renewal in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of applicable Law or otherwise; (b) any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement; (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Purchaser or Guarantor; (d) any other provisions of Law expressly applicable to guarantees; (e) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by Purchaser or Guarantor against any Seller; or (f) any other circumstances whatsoever (with or without notice to Purchaser or Guarantor) that constitute, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Purchaser for the Guaranteed Obligations (it being understood that this clause is not intended to limit any contractual defenses that Purchaser may have under this Agreement that the circumstances underlying any such Guaranteed Obligations do not then require payment or performance of such Guaranteed Obligation under this guarantee). Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been performed in full.

12.17 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Appointment. By executing and delivering this Agreement, the Sellers hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Sellers’ Representative as their agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact for all purposes under this Agreement, with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that Sellers’ Representative may, in Sellers’ Representative’s sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with any of Sellers’ Representative’s duties and obligations as contemplated in this Agreement.

(b) Authorization. Each Seller hereby authorizes Sellers’ Representative, on its behalf and in its name, to:

(i) receive all notices or documents given or to be given to the Sellers by Purchaser pursuant hereto or in connection herewith and to receive and accept service of legal process in connection with any suit or proceeding arising under this Agreement;

(ii) provide wire instructions for each Seller’s portion of any consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement;

94

(iii) deliver to Purchaser at the Closing all certificates and documents to be delivered to Purchaser by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, together with any other certificates and documents executed by Sellers and deposited with Sellers’ Representative for such purpose;

(iv) engage counsel and such accountants and other advisors for Sellers and incur such other expenses on behalf of the Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as Sellers’ Representative may deem appropriate; and

(v) take such action on behalf of the Sellers as Sellers’ Representative may deem appropriate in respect of:

(A) waiving any inaccuracies in the representations or warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered by Purchaser pursuant hereto;

(B) waiving the fulfillment of any of the conditions precedent to Sellers’ obligations hereunder;

(C) taking such other action as Sellers’ Representative is authorized to take under this Agreement;

(D) receiving all documents or certificates and making all determinations, on behalf of the Sellers, required under this Agreement;

(E) waiving, modifying or amending any provision of this Agreement;

(F) all such other matters as Sellers’ Representative may deem necessary or appropriate to consummate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(G) taking all such action as may be necessary after the date hereof to carry out any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Irrevocable Appointment. The appointment of Sellers’ Representative hereunder is irrevocable and any action taken by Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 12.17 shall be effective and absolutely binding on each Seller notwithstanding any contrary action of, or direction from, any Seller.

(d) Purchaser’s Reliance. Any approval, consent, election, notice, decision, agreement, amendment, or other action of the Sellers required or permitted under, or otherwise provided for in, this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed given, made, or taken (as the case may be) if given, made, or taken by Sellers’ Representative, and Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any notice or other document (of any kind) executed or delivered by Sellers’ Representative for all such purposes.

95

(e) Indemnification; Sellers’ Representative’s Expenses. Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Sellers’ Representative as Sellers’ Representative except in the case of its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify Sellers’ Representative and hold Sellers’ Representative harmless from and against any debt, liability or other obligation incurred by Sellers’ Representative arising out of or in connection with the administration of Sellers’ Representative’s duties as Sellers’ Representative, except to the extent such debt, liability or other obligation is caused by Sellers’ Representative’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(f) Seller Reserve Amount. Sellers’ Representative shall use the Seller Reserve Amount to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Sellers’ Representative in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder, including costs and expenses incurred in connection with defending, contesting, or settling any threatened dispute or claim with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder. Sellers’ Representative shall have no liability to the Sellers for any loss of principal of the Seller Reserve Amount other than as a result of Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For Tax purposes, the Seller Reserve Amount shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the Closing. Any amounts remaining in the Seller Reserve Amount shall be paid by Sellers’ Representative to the Sellers in accordance with the Allocation Schedule at such time as Sellers’ Representative determines to be appropriate. The Sellers shall not receive interest or other earnings on the Seller Reserve Amount. No provision of this Agreement shall require Sellers’ Representative to expend or risk Seller Representative’s own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of Sellers’ Representative’s powers, rights, duties or privileges under this Agreement. Furthermore, Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless Sellers’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in Sellers’ Representative’s sole determination, are sufficient to protect Sellers’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by Sellers’ Representative in performing such actions. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Seller be obligated to reimburse Sellers’ Representative for any costs or expenses incurred by Sellers’ Representative in excess of the Seller Reserve Amount without the consent of such Seller.

Exhibit 99.1

STERIS Expands Healthcare Consumables Offering with Acquisition of

Key Surgical for approximately $850 million

DUBLIN, IRELAND - (October 6, 2020) - STERIS plc (NYSE: STE) (“STERIS” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company has signed a definitive agreement to purchase Key Surgical, a portfolio company of Water Street Healthcare Partners, LLC, through a U.S. subsidiary for $850 million. STERIS anticipates that the acquisition will qualify for a tax benefit related to tax deductible goodwill. Adjusting for the present value of the anticipated tax benefit, the purchase price is effectively reduced to approximately $810 million. Key Surgical, founded in 1988, is a leading global provider of consumable products serving hospitals and surgical facilities. Annual revenue for Key Surgical in calendar 2020 is anticipated to be approximately $170 million, with adjusted EBIT of approximately $50 million.

“Key Surgical strengthens, complements and expands STERIS’s product offering and reach around the globe.

We welcome the Key Surgical people to the STERIS team, and we look forward to working together to enhance our service to our Customers and the value for our shareholders.”

Under the terms of the agreement, STERIS will purchase the shares of Key Surgical at closing. The transaction will be financed through a combination of debt and cash on hand and is anticipated to close by December 31, 2020 pending customary closing conditions and regulatory approval. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to STERIS’s adjusted earnings after close and add approximately $40 million to revenue and about $0.10 to adjusted earnings per diluted share in STERIS’s fiscal 2021 fourth quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, adjusted EBIT, free cash flow and constant currency organic revenue are non-GAAP measures that may be used from time to time and should not be considered replacements for GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this release with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and operational decision making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered along with our GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.

Adjusted net income excludes the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, acquisition related transaction costs, integration costs related to acquisitions, redomiciliation and tax restructuring costs, COVID-19 incremental costs, and certain other unusual or non-recurring items. COVID-19 incremental costs includes the additional costs attributable to COVID-19 such as enhanced cleaning protocols, personal protective equipment for our employees, event cancellation fees, and payroll costs associated with our response to COVID-19, net of any government subsidies available. STERIS believes this measure is useful because it excludes items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.

The Company defines free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangibles, plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles. STERIS believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of the Company’s ability to fund future principal debt repayments and growth outside of core operations, pay cash dividends, and repurchase ordinary shares.

To measure the percentage organic revenue growth, the Company removes the impact of significant acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue. To measure the percentage constant currency organic revenue growth, the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue are removed. The impact of changes in currency exchange rates is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average currency exchange rates.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales, gross profit, operating income, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures below, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(in millions, except per share data)

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and decision making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of operations for the periods presented.

It is important for the reader to note that the non-GAAP financial measures used may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
