intended to be, and is hereby adopted as, a plan of reorganization under Section 368 of the Code with each of B/E and KLX as a party to the reorganization;

18

would have otherwise been so Transferred or Assumed, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly effect such Transfer or Assumption of such Asset or Liability.  Any Transfer or Assumption made pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred immediately prior to the Distribution, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b)                                 In the event that it is discovered after the Distribution that there was (i) a Transfer by KLX (or other member of the KLX Group) or the Assumption by B/E (or other member of the B/E Group) of any KLX Asset or KLX Liability, as the case may be, or (ii) a Transfer by B/E (or other member of the B/E Group) or the Assumption by KLX (or other member of the KLX Group) of any B/E Asset or B/E Liability, as the case may be, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly Transfer such Asset back to the Party (or other member of such Party’s Group) which made such erroneous Transfer or to rescind any Assumption of such Liability, as the case may be.  Any Transfer made or Assumption rescinded pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if such Asset or Liability had never been originally Transferred or Assumed, as the case may be, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(c)                                  To the extent that any Transfers contemplated by this Agreement (other than any Transfer contemplated by Section 2.01(c)) shall not have been consummated on or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall cooperate to effect such Transfers as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred; provided, however, that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts following the Distribution Date to seek to obtain any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and the Assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Agreement.

(d)                                 In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated, from and after the Effective Time (i) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Party whose Group retains such Asset shall thereafter hold, or cause the applicable member of its Group to hold, such Asset (at no net Tax cost to such Party or such member) for the use and benefit of the member of the other Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member entitled thereto) to the extent related to such other Party’s business and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Party whose Group was intended to Assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the member of the other Group retaining such Liability (at no net Tax cost to such retaining member) for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability to the extent related to such other Party’s business.  In addition, the Party whose Group retains such Asset or Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to whose Group such Asset is to be Transferred or by the Party whose Group will Assume such Liability in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred or Assumed at the Effective Time and so that all the benefits and burdens

19

relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the member or members of the B/E Group or the KLX Group entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to Assume such Liability.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e)                                  If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of the Assumption of any Liability contemplated by Section 2.04(c), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(f)                                   The Person retaining any Asset or Liability due to any deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or any deferral of the Assumption of such contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, Assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Person entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability and at no net Tax cost to such retaining Person, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Person entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability.

(g)                      Each of B/E and KLX shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (A) the deferred Assets as Assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the Effective Time and (B) the deferred Liabilities as Liabilities having been Assumed and owed by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), unless required by a Tax Law or any other Law or good faith resolution of a contest or proceeding relating to Taxes).

Section 2.05                             Transfer Documents.  In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfer of Assets and the acceptance and Assumption of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent necessary, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or prior to the Effective Time, the Transfer Documents reasonably necessary to evidence the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party or the other members of its Group of the B/E Liabilities or KLX Liabilities, as applicable, and the valid Transfer to the applicable Party or other member of such Party’s Group of all right, title and interest in and to the B/E Assets or the KLX Assets, as applicable, to be Transferred hereunder.

(d)                                 It is the intent of each Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.01, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring and all conditions existing on or before the Effective Time, whether known or unknown, between any Party (and/or other member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, and the other Party (and/or other member of such Party’s Group), on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members on or before the Effective Time), except as specifically set forth in Section 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(b) and except for the Ancillary Agreements and the Continuing Arrangements.  At any time, at the reasonable written request of the other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

(e)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any information exchanged or provided to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement (but excluding any such information included in a Disclosure Document) which is an estimate or forecast, or which is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate.

Section 7.02                             Indemnification by B/E.  Except as otherwise set forth in any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, following the Effective Time, B/E shall, and shall cause the other members of the B/E Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the KLX Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the KLX Indemnitees to the extent arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the B/E Liabilities or alleged B/E Liabilities, (ii) any breach by any member of the B/E Group of any of the Shared Contracts, (iii) with respect to statements or omissions made or occurring after the Effective Time, any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact contained in any document filed with the SEC by any member of the KLX Group pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only (A) to the extent that those Liabilities are caused by any misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or omission in any information that is furnished in writing to any member of the KLX Group by any member of the B/E Group after the Effective Time, (B) if such member of the B/E Group has been informed in writing in advance that such information will be used in such filing, and (C) if the information used by a member of the KLX Group in any such filing is not materially different to the information furnished by a member of the B/E Group, or (iv) any breach by B/E or any member of the B/E Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement unless such Ancillary

34

Agreement or Continuing Arrangement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 7.03                             Indemnification by KLX.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, following the Effective Time, KLX shall, and shall cause the other members of the KLX Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the B/E Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the B/E Indemnitees to the extent arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the KLX Liabilities or any alleged KLX Liabilities, (ii) any breach by any member of the KLX Group of any of the Shared Contracts, (iii) with respect to statements or omissions made or occurring after the Effective Time, any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact contained in any document filed with the SEC by any member of the B/E Group pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only (A) to the extent that those Liabilities are caused by any misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or omission in any information that is furnished in writing to any member of the B/E Group by any member of the KLX Group after the Effective Time, (B) if such member of the KLX Group has been informed in writing in advance that such information will be used in such filing, and (C) if the information used by a member of the B/E Group in any such filing is not materially different to the information furnished by a member of the KLX Group, or (iv) any breach by KLX or any member of the KLX Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement unless such Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 7.04                             Procedures for Indemnification.

(a)                                 An Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter that an Indemnitee has determined has given, or reasonably anticipates could give rise to, a right of indemnification under this Agreement (other than a Third Party Claim which shall be governed by Section 7.04(b)), within 30 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b)                                 If an Action is made against a B/E Indemnitee or a KLX Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) by any Person who is not a Party or otherwise a member of a Group of a Party (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the other Party which is or may be required pursuant to this ARTICLE VII or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within 30 days) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that

35

the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days), copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

(c)                                  Unless there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the applicable Indemnitee, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, an Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume and control the defense of any such Third Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnitees, if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the applicable Indemnitees within 30 days of the receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim from such Indemnitees.  After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information and materials in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party.

(d)                                 If an Indemnifying Party cannot pursuant to Section 7.04(c) or elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 7.04(c), such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnitee is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information and materials in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnitee.

(e)                                  If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(f)                                   In the case of a Third Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that consent from the Indemnitee shall not be required if such settlement contains a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee and does not permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other non-monetary relief (including, for the avoidance of doubt, debarment) to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee.

(g)                                  Except as may otherwise be specifically provided for in the Ancillary Agreements and except as set forth in Section 10.02(d) or Section 10.02(f) hereof, the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any failure by the other Party to perform and comply with any covenants and

36

agreements in this Agreement and any other dispute, controversy or claim (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to, or arise under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on or prior to the Effective Time), between or among any member of the B/E Group, on the one hand, and any member of the KLX Group, on the other hand.

Section 7.05                             Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.  B/E and KLX agree that, from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party with respect to which one or both Parties (or any other member of either Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, then the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action.

Section 7.06                             Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds.

(a)                                 Any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this ARTICLE VII will be calculated net of Insurance Proceeds received by the Indemnitee that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss.  If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b)                                 Any insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification and contributions provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto.  The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds (other than Insurance Proceeds under an arrangement where future premiums are adjusted to reflect prior claims in excess of prior premiums) to which the Indemnitee is entitled in connection with any Indemnifiable Loss for which the Indemnitee seeks contribution or indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII (it being understood that the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds shall not require the Indemnitee to commence any litigation proceedings against any such third party); provided, however, that the Indemnitee’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

(c)                                  All Indemnity Payments under this Agreement shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnitee arising from the receipt of Indemnity Payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnitee arising from the incurrence or payment of any Indemnifiable Loss.  In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit

37

before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any Indemnity Payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any Indemnifiable Loss.  For purposes of this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall be deemed to have “actually incurred” or “actually realized” a net Tax cost or a net Tax benefit, respectively, to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable (including Taxes payable on an estimated basis) by such Indemnitee is increased above or reduced below, as the case may be, the amount of Taxes that such Indemnitee would be required to pay but for the receipt or accrual of the Indemnity Payment or the incurrence or payment of such amount indemnified against as the case may be.  The Parties shall make any adjusting payment between each other as is required under this Section 7.06(c) within ten (10) days of the date an Indemnitee is deemed to have actually realized or actually incurred each net Tax benefit or net Tax cost, respectively.  The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any Final Determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s liability for Taxes and any payments necessary to reflect such adjustment shall be made within ten (10) days of such determination.

Section 7.07                             Characterization of Payments.  In each case to the extent permissible under applicable Tax Law, except for any interest for any period beginning after the Distribution Date, any amount payable by KLX to or for the benefit of a member of the B/E Group or by B/E to or for the benefit of a member of the KLX Group under this ARTICLE VII shall be treated for Tax purposes as a distribution or capital contribution, respectively, between KLX and B/E occurring immediately prior to the Distribution, and other payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as occurring immediately before the Distribution.  Following the filing by a Party of a Tax Return consistent with such treatment, such Party shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment before any taxing authority, except to the extent that a Final Determination by any taxing authority with respect to any Party causes any such payment to be treated otherwise.

Section 7.08                             Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.

(a)                                 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this ARTICLE VII shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (ii) any knowledge prior to the date hereof by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(b)                                 The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this ARTICLE VII shall survive the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its respective Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 7.09                             Tax Indemnity Matters.  Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE VII to the contrary, the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to the indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be solely governed by the Tax Sharing Agreement and shall not be subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE VII.

38

ARTICLE VIII

ACCESS TO RECORDS; ACCESS TO INFORMATION; LEGAL AND OTHER MATTERS

Section 8.01                             Provision of Corporate Records.  Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is or may be sought pursuant to ARTICLE VII (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), and subject to appropriate restrictions for privileged or Confidential Information:

(a)                                 After the Distribution Date until the earlier of (i) the seventh anniversary of the Distribution Date or (ii) the date on which B/E is entitled to destroy Information related to the period prior to the Distribution Date pursuant to its record retention policies, upon the prior written request by KLX for specific and identified Information which relates to (A) KLX (or other member of its Group) or the conduct of the CMS Business prior to the Distribution Date, or (B) any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement to which B/E and KLX (or any other member of their respective Groups) are parties, B/E shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such documents (or the originals thereof if the Party making the request has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of B/E or any of its Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party.

(b)                                 After the Distribution Date until the earlier of (i) the seventh anniversary of the Distribution Date or (ii) the date on which KLX is entitled to destroy Information related to the period prior to the Distribution Date pursuant to its record retention policies, upon the prior written request by B/E for specific and identified Information which relates to (A) B/E (or other member of its Group) or the conduct of the Manufacturing Business, prior to the Distribution Date, or (B) any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement to which KLX and B/E (or other member of their respective Groups) are parties, as applicable, KLX shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such documents (or the originals thereof if the Party making the request has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of KLX or any of its Subsidiaries, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party.

Section 8.02                             Access to Information.  Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to ARTICLE VII (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), from the Distribution Date and for so long as any access is required, each of B/E and KLX shall afford to the other and its authorized accountants, counsel and other designated Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, subject to appropriate restrictions for privileged or Confidential Information and to preserve the completeness and integrity of the Information, to the personnel, properties, and Information of such Party and its Subsidiaries insofar as such access is reasonably required by the other Party and relates to (i) such other Party or the conduct of its business prior to the Effective Time or (ii) any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement.  Nothing in this Section 8.02 shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of Information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that

39

in the event that a Party is required to disclose any such Information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s consent to the disclosure of such Information.

Section 8.03                             Disposition of Information.

(a)                                 Each Party acknowledges that Information in its or in another member of its Group’s possession, custody or control as of the Effective Time may include Information owned by the other Party or a member of such Party’s Group and not related to (i) its Group or its business or (ii) any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement to which it or any member of its Group is a party.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding such possession, custody or control, such Information shall remain the property of such other Party or other member of such other Party’s Group.  Each Party agrees (i) that any such Information is to be treated as Confidential Information of the Party to which it relates and handled in accordance with Section 8.06 (except that such Information will not be used for any purpose other than a purpose permitted under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Continuing Arrangement) and (ii) following a reasonable request from the other Party, subject to applicable Law, to use commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time to (1) purge such Information from its databases, files and other systems and not retain any copy of such Information (including, if applicable, by transferring such Information to the Party to which such Information belongs), or (2) if such purging is not practicable, to encrypt or otherwise make unreadable or inaccessible such Information.

Section 8.04                             Witness Services.  At all times from and after the Distribution Date, each of B/E and KLX shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon reasonable written request, its and any other member of its Group’s officers, directors, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that (i) such persons may reasonably be required to testify in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved (except for Actions between members of each Group) and (ii) there is no conflict of interest in the underlying Action between the requesting Party and B/E and KLX, as applicable; provided, however, that the existence of a claim for indemnification under ARTICLE VII shall not in and of itself be deemed a conflict of interest.  A Party providing a witness to the other Party under this Section 8.04 shall be entitled to receive from the recipient of such services, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees who are witnesses or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service as witnesses), as may be reasonably incurred and properly payable under applicable Law.

Section 8.05                             Reimbursement; Other Matters.  Except to the extent otherwise provided by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Continuing Arrangement, a Party providing Information or access to Information to the other Party under this ARTICLE VIII shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for

40

such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses, as may be reasonably incurred in providing such Information or access to such Information.

Section 8.06                             Confidentiality.  Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall hold, and shall cause each of the other members of their respective Groups to hold, and shall each cause their respective Representatives (including those of each other member of their respective Groups) to hold, in strict confidence, and not to disclose or release or use, without the prior written consent of the other Party, any and all Confidential Information concerning the other Party (or any other member of such Party’s Group) or its respective business; provided, however, that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Information and are informed of their obligation to hold such Information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if the Parties or any other member of their respective Groups are required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding by one Party against the other Party, or (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements, Tax Returns or other required disclosures.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, each Party shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, promptly notify the other of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Parties will reasonably cooperate in obtaining, at the sole cost of the Party seeking such order or other remedy.  In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed shall or shall cause the other Party to furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the sole cost and expense of the Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed, to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Information.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 10.02(f), each Party hereby acknowledges that the other Party, in addition to any other remedies available to it for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 8.06, shall be entitled to seek a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order or other equivalent relief restraining such Party and any member of such Party’s Group from any such breach or threatened breach.

Section 8.07                             Privileged Matters.

(a)                                 The Parties recognize that certain legal and other professional services (both internal and external) have been and will be provided prior to and after the Distribution Date and have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the B/E Group and the KLX Group, and that each of the members of the B/E Group and the KLX Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law; provided, however, that with respect to such services the Parties agree as follows:

41

(i)                                     the Parties shall not be entitled to assert privilege with respect to such legal and other professional services provided prior to the Distribution Date against the other Party or any other member of the other Party’s Group;

(ii)                                  B/E shall be entitled, on behalf of itself or any member of the B/E Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information to the extent relating to the Manufacturing Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of B/E or KLX.  B/E shall also be entitled, on behalf of itself or any other member of the B/E Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting B/E Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by any member of the B/E Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of B/E or KLX;

(iii)                               KLX shall be entitled, on behalf of itself or any other member of the KLX Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information to the extent relating to the CMS Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of B/E or KLX.  KLX shall also be entitled, on behalf of itself or any other member of the KLX Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting KLX Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by any member of the KLX Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of B/E or KLX; and

(iv)                              the Parties shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 8.07, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 8.07(a)(ii) and 8.07(a)(iii).  All privileges relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve members of both the B/E Group and the KLX Group in respect of which such Parties retain any responsibility or Liability under this Agreement, shall be subject to a shared privilege among them.

(b)                                 No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or as provided in Section 8.07(c) or Section 8.07(d) below.

(c)                                  In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, or any other members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Group’s, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties.

42

(d)                                 If a dispute arises between the Parties, or any other member of their respective Groups, regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of either Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to any request for waiver by the other Party.  Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

(e)                                  Upon receipt by any Party or by any other member of a Party’s Group of any subpoena, discovery, court order or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any other member of its Group’s current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 8.07 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged Information.

Section 8.08                             Ownership of Information.

(a)                                 Any Information owned by one Party or any other member of such Party’s Group that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party.  Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information.

(b)                                 Any Information provided by or on behalf of or made available by or on behalf of the other Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be on an “as is”, “where is” basis and no Party is making any representation or warranty with respect to such Information or the accuracy or completeness thereof.

Section 8.09                             Other Agreements.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.06, the provisions of Sections 8.01 through 8.08 and Section 8.10 shall not apply with respect to Information, Records, Actions and other matters relating to Tax matters, all of which shall be governed by the Tax Sharing Agreement.

Section 8.10                             Control of Legal Matters.

(a)                                             General.  (i) On or prior to the Distribution Date, B/E shall assume (or, as applicable, retain), or cause the applicable member of the B/E Group to assume (or, as applicable, retain) control of each of the B/E Litigation Matters, and B/E shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have a member of the B/E Group substituted for any member of the KLX Group to the extent it is named as a defendant in any such B/E Litigation Matters; provided, however, that no member of the B/E Group shall be required to make any such effort if the removal of any member of the KLX Group would, in the reasonable judgment of B/E, jeopardize insurance coverage or rights to indemnification from third parties applicable to such

43

B/E Litigation Matters or otherwise cause B/E to Assume a Liability at the parent level that was originally a Liability of another member of the B/E Group.

(ii)                                  On or prior to the Distribution Date, KLX shall assume (or, as applicable, retain), or cause the applicable member of the KLX Group to assume (or, as applicable, retain) control of each of the KLX Litigation Matters, and KLX shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have a member of the KLX Group substituted for any member of the B/E Group to the extent it is named as a defendant in any such KLX Litigation Matters; provided, however, that no member of the KLX Group shall be required to make any such effort if the removal of any member of the B/E Group would, in the reasonable judgment of KLX, jeopardize insurance coverage or rights to indemnification from third parties applicable to such KLX Litigation Matters or otherwise cause KLX to Assume a Liability at the parent level that was originally a Liability of another member of the KLX Group.

(b)                                             Actions Commenced After the Distribution Date.  Except as provided in Section 8.10(a), after the Distribution Date, the Parties agree that with respect to all Actions commenced against any member of the B/E Group, any member of the KLX Group or members of both Groups relating to events that take place before, on or after the Distribution Date, such Actions shall be controlled by:

(i)                                     a member of the B/E Group, if such Action relates solely to the B/E Assets, B/E Liabilities or Manufacturing Business (as the Manufacturing Business is conducted after the Distribution Date) (a “Future B/E Litigation Matter”), and B/E shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have a member of the B/E Group substituted for any member of the KLX Group to the extent it may be named as a defendant in such Future B/E Litigation Matter; provided, however, that no member of the B/E Group shall be required to make any such effort if the removal of any member of the KLX Group would, in the reasonable judgment of B/E, jeopardize insurance coverage or rights to indemnification from third parties applicable to such Future B/E Litigation Matter;

(ii)                                  a member of the KLX Group, if such Action relates solely to the KLX Assets, KLX Liabilities or CMS Business (as the CMS Business is conducted after the Distribution Date) (a “Future KLX Litigation Matter”), and KLX shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have a member of the KLX Group substituted for any member of the B/E Group to the extent it may be named as a defendant in such Future KLX Litigation Matter; provided, however, that no member of the KLX Group shall be required to make any such effort if the removal of any member of the B/E Group would, in the reasonable judgment of KLX, jeopardize insurance coverage or rights to indemnification from third parties applicable to such Future KLX Litigation Matter; and

(iii)                               except as provided in Section 8.10(b)(i) or Section 8.10(b)(ii), or as may be otherwise agreed by KLX and B/E, a member of each of the KLX Group and the B/E Group jointly if (A) members of both Groups jointly operate or operated at the relevant time the business to which such Action relates or such Action relates to both the B/E Assets, B/E Liabilities or Manufacturing Business and the KLX Assets, KLX Liabilities or CMS Business, (B) an Action arises from or relates to any Disclosure Document or

44

any other document filed with any Governmental Entity (including the SEC) at or prior to the Distribution Date by B/E or KLX in connection with the Distribution, (C) an Action is brought by or on behalf of the current or former shareholders of B/E or KLX and relates to any filing by B/E or KLX with the SEC other than those described in clause (B), or (D) an Action is brought by any Person against B/E or KLX with respect to the Distribution (the matters in clauses (A) through (D) being “Future Joint Litigation Matters”); provided, however, that no member of either Group may settle a Future Joint Litigation Matter without the prior written consent of the members of the other Group named or involved in such Future Joint Litigation Matter, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided further that either Party may settle a Future Joint Litigation matter if such settlement is for money only and provides a full release from any Liability under such Future Joint Litigation Matter for the other Party and, as applicable, the members of the other Party’s Group (including any Liability for any payment of any kind in connection with such settlement).

(c)                                              Claims Against Third Parties.  Actions by any member of either Group against third parties, and any proceeds or other benefits that may be received as a result of such Actions and any Liabilities arising out of or resulting from such Actions, that are (i) listed in Schedule 8.10(c)(i) or that relate to the Manufacturing Business and not to the CMS Business shall be the property of the applicable member of the B/E Group (“B/E Claims”), (ii) listed in Schedule 8.10(c)(ii) or that relate to the CMS Business and not to the Manufacturing Business shall be the property of the applicable member of the KLX Group (“KLX Claims”), and (iii) listed in Schedule 8.10(c)(iii) or that relate to both the Manufacturing Business and the CMS Business shall be the property of, and shall be shared by, B/E and KLX in proportion to their respective interests (“Joint B/E and KLX Claims”).

(d)                                 Retention of Counsel.  The Parties agree that attorneys who have worked for any member of the B/E Group prior to the Distribution Date are not conflicted from representing any members of the KLX Group subsequent to the Distribution Date, except to the extent such representation on any specific matter will be adverse (whether actually or potentially) to a member of the B/E Group.

(e)                                 Notice to Third Parties; Service of Process; Cooperation.

(i)                                     To the extent necessary to effectuate the provisions in this Agreement, each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of their respective Groups to, promptly notify their respective agents for service of process and all other necessary parties, including plaintiffs and courts, and shall provide instructions for proper service of legal process and other documents.

(ii)                                  Each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of their respective Groups to, attempt in good faith to not accept service on behalf of any member of the other Party’s Group, and shall, and shall cause the other members of their respective Groups to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to each other any legal process or other documents incorrectly delivered to them or their agents as soon as possible following receipt.

45

(f)                                   Indemnity.  Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall affect in any way the indemnification provisions in ARTICLE VII or the allocation of Liabilities between the Parties under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

INSURANCE

Section 9.01                             Insurance.

(a)                                 Until and including the Distribution Date, B/E shall (i) cause the members of the KLX Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to continue to be covered as insured parties under B/E’s policies of insurance in a manner which is no less favorable than the coverage provided for the B/E Group and (ii) permit the members of the KLX Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to submit claims arising from or relating to facts, circumstances, events or matters that occurred on or prior to the Distribution Date to the extent permitted under such policies.  With respect to policies currently procured by KLX for the sole benefit of the KLX Group, KLX shall continue to maintain such insurance coverage through the Distribution Date in a manner no less favorable than currently provided. Without limiting any of the rights or obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 9.01(b), B/E and KLX acknowledge that, as of immediately after the Distribution Date, B/E intends to take such action as it may deem necessary or desirable to remove the members of the KLX Group and their respective employees, officers and directors as insured parties under any policy of insurance issued to any member of the B/E Group by any insurance carrier.  The KLX Group will not be entitled following the Distribution Date, absent mutual written agreement otherwise, to make any claims for insurance thereunder to the extent such claims are based upon facts, circumstances, events or matters occurring after the Distribution Date or to the extent any claims are made pursuant to any B/E “claims-made” policies after the Distribution Date.  No member of the B/E Group shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the availability of any coverage under any such insurance policy.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, B/E shall, and shall cause the other members of the B/E Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to cause all insurance policies of the B/E Group that immediately prior to the Effective Time provide coverage to or with respect to the members of the KLX Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to continue to provide such coverage with respect to acts, omissions or events occurring prior to the Effective Time or claims made prior to the Effective Time in accordance with their terms as if the Distribution had not occurred and B/E shall provide, and shall cause other members of the B/E Group to provide, such cooperation as is reasonably requested by KLX in order for KLX to have in effect after the Distribution Date such new “claims-made” policies as KLX deems appropriate with respect to claims made after the Distribution Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall B/E be required, at its own expense or with any detriment to B/E, to extend or maintain coverage under “claims-made” policies with respect to any claims first made against a member of the KLX Group or first reported to the insurer after the Distribution Date.

(b)                                 After the Distribution Date, the members of the KLX Group shall have the right to participate with B/E to resolve Pre-Separation Insurance Claims under the applicable B/E insurance policies up to the full extent of the applicable and available limits of Liability of such

46

policy.  B/E or KLX, as the case may be, shall have primary control over those Pre-Separation Insurance Claims for which the B/E Group or the KLX Group, respectively, bears the underlying loss, subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant policy of insurance governing such control.  If a member of the KLX Group is unable to assert a Pre-Separation Insurance Claim because it is no longer an “insured” under a B/E insurance policy, then B/E shall assert such claim in its own name and deliver the Insurance Proceeds to KLX.  Any Insurance Proceeds received by any member of the B/E Group for members of the KLX Group shall be for the benefit of the KLX Group.  Any Insurance Proceeds received for the benefit of both the B/E Group and the KLX Group shall be distributed pro rata based on the respective share of the underlying loss.

(c)                                  With respect to Pre-Separation Insurance Claims, whether or not known or reported on or prior to the Distribution Date, KLX shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the KLX Group to, report as soon as practicable such claims arising from the CMS Business to B/E, following which B/E shall report as soon as practicable such claims reported by such member of the KLX Group to the applicable insurer(s), and KLX shall, or shall cause the applicable member of KLX Group to, individually, and not jointly, assume and be responsible for the reimbursement Liability (i.e., deductible or retention) related to its portion of the Liability and/or any retrospective premium charges associated with the workers compensation, automobile and general liability claims so submitted by it to the extent such amounts payable by B/E after the Distribution Date are greater than they otherwise would have been if such amounts had been based on the most recent actuarial projections established for such claims immediately prior to the Distribution, unless otherwise agreed in writing by B/E.  B/E shall, and shall cause each member of the B/E Group to, reasonably cooperate and assist the applicable member of the KLX Group with respect to such claims and shall arrange for the applicable member of the KLX Group to post any such collateral in respect of the reimbursement obligations as may reasonably be requested by the insurers.  In addition, B/E shall, if requested, provide information to KLX on claims history including quarterly loss reports and annual actuarial claims reports for the previous five policy terms.  B/E agrees that Pre-Separation Insurance Claims of members of the KLX Group shall receive the same priority as Pre-Separation Insurance Claims of members of the B/E Group and be treated equitably in all respects, including in connection with deductibles, retentions, coinsurance and retrospective premium charges.

(d)                                 B/E shall not be liable to KLX for claims, or portions of claims, not reimbursed by insurers under any policy for any reason, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of any insurance carrier(s), policy limitations or restrictions (including exhaustion of limits), any coverage disputes, any failure to timely file a claim by any member of the B/E Group or any member of the KLX Group or any defect in such claim or its processing.  In the event that insurable claims of both B/E and KLX (or the members of their respective Groups) exist relating to the same occurrence, the Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of the joint defense and shall not settle or compromise any such claim without the consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policy).  Nothing in this Section 9.01 shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise.

ARTICLE X

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 10.01                      Disputes.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement (the terms of which, to the extent so provided therein, shall govern the resolution of disputes, controversies or claims that are the subject of such Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement), the procedures for discussion, negotiation and arbitration set forth in this ARTICLE X shall apply to all disputes, controversies or claims (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to, or arise under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on or prior to the Effective Time), between or among any member of the B/E Group, on the one hand, and any member of the KLX Group, on the other hand (collectively, “Agreement Disputes”).

Section 10.02                      Dispute Resolution.

(a)                                 B/E and KLX will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any Agreement Dispute on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis.  In furtherance of the foregoing, any member of the KLX Group or the B/E Group involved in an Agreement Dispute may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding an in-person meeting involving senior-level management representatives of B/E and KLX (or, if B/E and KLX agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within each such entity).  A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the General Counsel of each of B/E and KLX (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Section 10.02).  Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between B/E and KLX may be established by B/E and KLX from time to time; provided, however, that the representatives of B/E and KLX shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to meet within 30 days of the Escalation Notice.

(b)                                 If the senior level management representatives of B/E and KLX are not able to resolve the Agreement Dispute within 30 days after the date of receipt of the Escalation Notice (or such shorter time as is necessary to avoid immediate irreparable injury), then the Agreement Dispute shall be submitted to the General Counsel of B/E and the President and Chief Operating Officer of KLX.

(c)                                  If B/E and KLX are not able to resolve the Agreement Dispute through the processes set forth in Section 10.02(a) and Section 10.02(b) within 60 days after the date of the Escalation Notice, such Agreement Dispute shall be determined, at the request of either B/E or KLX, by arbitration, which shall be conducted (i) by three arbitrators, consisting of one arbitrator appointed by B/E, one arbitrator appointed by KLX and a third arbitrator appointed by the two arbitrators appointed by B/E and KLX or, if the arbitrators appointed by B/E and KLX cannot agree on a third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the President of the American Arbitration Association, and (ii) in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (except with respect to the selection of arbitrators) in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration.

48

(d)                                 The decision of the arbitrators (which, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, may include an order to specifically perform any provision of this Agreement) shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and the expense of the arbitration (including the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party) shall be paid as the arbitrators determine.  The decision of the arbitrators shall be executory, and judgment thereon may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.  The seat of the arbitration shall be Palm Beach County, Florida.

(e)                                  The existence of, and any discussions, negotiations, arbitrations or other proceedings relating to, any Agreement Dispute shall be considered by each Party as Confidential Information until such time as a judgment thereon is entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, other than as set forth in Section 6.01(f) or Section 8.06, no member of the KLX Group and no member of the B/E Group shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against the other Party or any Person acting by, through or under such other Party, in order to enforce the instituting Party’s rights hereunder, except that any such member shall be permitted to seek an injunction in aid of arbitration with respect to an Agreement Dispute to preserve the status quo during the pendency of any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 10.02(c).  All judicial proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.

Section 10.03                      Continuity of Service and Performance.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE X with respect to all matters not subject to such Agreement Dispute.

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

Section 11.01                      Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated and the Distribution may be abandoned at any time prior to the Distribution Date by and in the sole discretion of B/E.

Section 11.02                      Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no Liability on the part of either Party.

Section 11.03                      Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Parties or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 11.04.

49

Section 11.04                      Waiver.  Either Party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party and (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Party or conditions to such Party’s obligations contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby.  Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.  The failure of either Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01                      Limitation of Liability.  IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY MEMBER OF THE B/E GROUP OR THE KLX GROUP BE LIABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE KLX GROUP OR THE B/E GROUP, RESPECTIVELY, FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE VII.

51

Section 12.06                      Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 12.07                      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Continuing Arrangements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
