Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within twenty (20) Business Days (the “Discussion Period”) commencing on the date Purchaser receives the Dispute Notice from Seller; provided that no item or amount which comprises the Initial Purchase Price calculation shall be in dispute, as all such other items and amounts shall have been definitively determined by the Parties hereto on or before the Closing Date. If Seller and Purchaser do not obtain a final resolution within the Discussion Period, then the items remaining in dispute may be submitted thereafter for resolution to BDO USA LLP, or if such firm refuses or is unable to serve in such capacity, or is otherwise not appointed and engaged for such purpose (including due to a conflict of interest), then another independent nationally recognized accounting firm to be agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser acting reasonably (either such firm, as the case may be, the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be engaged to serve as an accountant, and not as an arbitrator, and the terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be consistent therewith, consistent with this Section 2.3, and otherwise as agreed upon between Seller and Purchaser, and any associated engagement fees shall initially be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser; provided that such fees shall ultimately be allocated in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii). Seller and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to direct the Accounting Firm to render a determination (the “Determination”) of the dispute within thirty (30) Business Days after referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm, which Determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. In making the Determination regarding such dispute, the Accounting Firm shall select, with respect to each item in dispute, an amount equal to either Purchaser’s position as set forth in the Final Working Capital Closing Date Calculation or Seller’s position, as set forth in the Dispute Notice. In connection with the resolution of such dispute, the Accounting Firm shall have access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel necessary to make the Determination, and the Determination shall be based on and in accordance with the same accounting principles, methods, practices, categories, estimates, judgments and assumptions, as were used in preparing the Balance Sheet. Each of Seller and Purchaser and their respective representatives shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm

any material such party deems relevant to the Determination, provided that such material and its applications would be in accordance with Section 2.3(f), and shall have a continuing opportunity to discuss the matter and its position with the Accounting Firm, but no such presentation of materials or communication shall be on an ex parte basis unless agreed to in writing by the other party. The Determination shall be final, conclusive and binding absent fraud or manifest error upon Seller, the Company and Purchaser, and shall not be deemed an award subject to review under the Federal Arbitration Act or applicable Law. The procedures set forth in this Section 2.3 are the sole and exclusive mechanism for the adjustment of the Initial Purchase Price.

(ii) In the event Seller or Purchaser submit any items remaining in dispute to the Accounting Firm for resolution as provided in Section 2.3(b)(i), the responsibility for the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm shall be as follows:

(A) if such Accounting Firm resolves all of the applicable items remaining in dispute in favor of Purchaser’s position, then all of the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm (and the reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of Purchaser related thereto) shall be paid by Seller;

(B) if such Accounting Firm resolves all of the applicable items remaining in dispute in favor of Seller’s position, then all of the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm (and the reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of Seller related thereto) shall be paid by Purchaser; and

(C) if such Accounting Firm neither resolves all of the applicable items remaining in dispute in favor of Purchaser’s position nor resolves all of the applicable remaining objections in favor of Seller’s position, then fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm (and the reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of the parties related thereto) shall be paid in inverse proportion as Seller or Purchaser may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which inverse proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the Determination is made.

(c) Final and Binding Determination. The amount of Working Capital of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date as agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser (which shall be the Final Working Capital if Seller does not timely deliver a Dispute Notice), or as results from the Determination, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties hereto and shall be deemed the “Actual Working Capital” for all purposes hereunder.

(d) Adjustment of Initial Purchase Price. Upon the final determination of the Actual Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.3(c), the Initial Purchase Price shall either be increased by the amount, if any, by which the Actual Working Capital is greater than $40,300,000 or decreased by the amount, if any, by which the Actual Working Capital is less than $30,300,000.

(e) The Initial Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.3(d) shall be deemed to be the “Adjusted Purchase Price”. Seller shall pay the Purchaser the amount of any

reduction to the Initial Purchase Price calculated pursuant to Section 2.3(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts specified by Purchaser, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Adjusted Purchase Price is finally determined. Purchaser shall pay Seller the amount of any increase to the Initial Purchase Price calculated pursuant to Section 2.3(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts specified by Seller, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Adjusted Purchase Price is finally determined.

(f) Accounting Principles. The manner in which the Final Working Capital Closing Date Calculation, the Current Assets, the Current Liabilities and the Actual Working Capital are determined and the Determination is made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be in the same manner, and using the same accounting principles, methods, practices, categories, estimates, judgments and assumptions, as were used in preparing the Balance Sheet. A sample calculation of Working Capital as of December 31, 2015 derived from the Balance Sheet is set forth on Exhibit A.

(xvii) make or commit to make any capital expenditure other than as provided for in the forecast of the Business made available to Purchaser prior to the date hereof;

(xviii) fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain insurance in such amounts and against such risks and losses as are currently maintained in respect of the Business; or

Subject to this Section 5.1, nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Company, the Company Subsidiary or, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate, prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, the Company, the Company Subsidiary and, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its business operations.

Section 5.2 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, or, if earlier, the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, Purchaser may make or cause to be made such investigation of the Company, the Company Subsidiary or, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate and of its financial and legal condition as Purchaser deems reasonably necessary or advisable. Seller shall, and shall cause the Company, the Company Subsidiary and, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate (i) to afford to Purchaser and its authorized representatives, including its independent accountants, reasonable access to the properties, assets, personnel, books and records of the Company, the Company Subsidiary and, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate during normal business hours to review information and documentation related to the properties, assets, personnel, books, Contracts, commitments and other records of the Company, the Company Subsidiary and, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate and (ii) to make reasonably available the officers and employees responsible for the operation of the Business, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to discuss the ongoing operation of the Business, implementation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other matters relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that such investigation shall only be upon reasonable notice and shall not disrupt personnel and operations of the business of the Company, the Company Subsidiary or the Contributing Affiliate and shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. All requests for access to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company, the Company Subsidiary or, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate shall be made to such representatives of Seller as Seller shall designate, who shall be solely responsible for coordinating all such requests and all access permitted hereunder. It is further agreed that neither Purchaser nor its representatives shall (and Purchaser shall not permit any of its employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates to) contact any of the employees, customers, suppliers, distributors or other business relations of the Company or the Company Subsidiary, or with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in person or by telephone, mail or other means of communication, without the specific prior written authorization of such representative of Seller. Any access to the offices, properties, assets, personnel, books and records of the Company, the Company Subsidiary, or, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate shall be subject to the following additional limitations: (i) such access

shall not include competitively sensitive information, shall not violate any internal policies of Seller or any of its Affiliates, shall not result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of Seller, its Affiliates or third parties or violate any obligations of Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to confidentiality to any third party, shall not violate any Law or any Contract to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party (including, without limitation, any Lease) or otherwise expose Seller or any of its Affiliates to a material risk of Liability; provided, however, that in such instances, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to provide such information, in whole or in part, in a manner that would not result in any of the outcomes described in this clause (i); (ii) Purchaser shall give Seller notice of at least two (2) Business Days before conducting any inspections or communicating with any third party (provided that any such communication with a third party requires the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) relating to any property of Seller or any of its Affiliates, and a representative of Seller shall have the right to be present when Purchaser or any of its representatives conducts its or their investigations on such property; (iii) any environmental investigations by Purchaser and its representatives shall be limited to visual inspections of the property and operations and shall not, without prior written consent of Seller in its sole discretion (and, if required under the applicable Lease, the landlord), include any intrusive investigation or collection of samples of soil, groundwater, surface water, wastewater, building materials or any other environmental media or product; (iv) Purchaser shall (A) use its reasonable best efforts to perform all on-site due diligence reviews and all communications with any Person on an expeditious and efficient basis and (B) indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller or any of its Affiliates and each of their respective employees, directors and officers from and against all Losses resulting from physical damage or personal harm directly caused by Purchaser or any of its representatives under this paragraph; (v) such access shall be conditioned upon compliance by Purchaser and its authorized representatives with all applicable security procedures and protocol regarding the protection of confidential and classified information of Seller and its Affiliates, and only those of Purchaser’s personnel who are specifically authorized to have such access shall gain such access; and (vi) such access shall not result in the waiver of any applicable attorney-client privilege or work-product doctrine. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

(b) Purchaser agrees that it will, and will cause its Affiliates and its and their representatives to, keep confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained regarding Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than, from and after the Closing Date, any such documents, materials and other information exclusively relating to the Business) during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), the investigation provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and other related documents; provided, however that Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose such information to lenders and prospective lenders in connection with increasing the amount available for borrowing under its lines of credit, with such lenders or prospective lenders being treated as Representatives of Purchaser in accordance with, and as defined in, the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their representatives to, keep confidential any and all non-public information relating to the Business except to the extent such disclosure is determined by Seller or its representatives to

be required to be disclosed under applicable Laws or any listing agreement covering publicly traded securities, is requested by any Government Authority to be disclosed or is disclosed in connection with any Legal Proceeding. In the event that Seller or any of its Affiliates or representatives are required by any applicable Law or any such listing agreement to disclose any such non-public information, Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives to, (i) to the extent permissible by such applicable Law, provide Purchaser with reasonably prompt written notice of such requirement, (ii) disclose only that information that it determines (with the advice of counsel) is so required by such applicable Law to be disclosed and (iii) reasonably cooperate with Purchaser at Purchaser’s expense so that Purchaser may seek to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such non-public information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such non-public information shall not include information that (A) is or becomes available to the public after the Closing other than as a result of a disclosure in breach of this Section 5.2(c) or (B) becomes available to Seller or its Affiliates or representatives after the Closing from a source other than Purchaser or its Affiliates or representatives if the source of such information is not known by Seller or its representatives to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiary) with respect to such information.

Section 5.3 Efforts; Further Assurances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the Parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts (except where a different efforts standard is specifically contemplated by this Agreement, in which case such different standard shall apply) to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the consents of all Governmental Authorities and third parties necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, in the case of Purchaser, arranging guarantees from Purchaser or a creditworthy controlled Affiliate of Purchaser as requested by such Governmental Authorities or third parties. Each of the Parties shall be responsible for all costs it incurs in connection with obtaining such consents, including any fees or costs relating to making or obtaining any other national or supranational antitrust or competition filings, notifications or approvals; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall pay (and to the extent paid by the Company, reimburse the Company) for the filing fees associated with the HSR Act and any other national or supranational antitrust or competition filings, notifications or approvals and (ii) no Party shall be obligated to make any payments or make any commitments in order to obtain any third party consent (other than Purchaser’s obligation to arrange guarantees as described above).

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.3(a), as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall notify the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement which such notice shall seek written confirmation that: (1) the FAA will issue new FAA Permits allowing the Company to continue operating as a FAA repair station, perform modifications under the supplemental type certificate and manufacture parts under parts manufacturer approval, following Closing; or (2) new FAA Permits are not required with respect to consummation of the

transactions covered by this Agreement and that following Closing (including to the extent the FAA Permits existing as of the date hereof will be transferred to Purchaser), the FAA Permits shall remain in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, no such confirmation contemplated by the foregoing sentence shall serve as a condition precedent to the Closing. The Parties shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the notification, including by permitting the other party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication with the FAA and any other information supplied to the FAA or received from the FAA in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall promptly inform the other party of any communications with, and inquiries or requests for information from, the FAA in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and shall consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference, whether in person or by telephone, with the FAA.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.3(a), as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than ten (10) days after the date of this Agreement, each party hereto shall make an appropriate filing, if necessary, pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Any other notifications, filings and request for approvals relating to any other national or supranational antitrust or competition requirements shall be made as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to the HSR Act and any other national or supranational antitrust or competition requirements Seller, the Company, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates (i) shall not extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust Law or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Timing Agreement”), except with the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, (ii) shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all filings, notifications and any other material actions pursuant to this Section 5.3(c), including subject to applicable Law, by permitting counsel for the other party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority and by providing outside counsel for the other party with copies of all filings and submissions made by such party and all correspondence between such party (and its advisors) with any Governmental Authority and any other information supplied by such party and such party’s Subsidiaries to a Governmental Authority or received from such a Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) shall furnish to the other Parties such information and assistance as such Parties reasonably may request in connection with the preparation of any submissions to, or agency proceedings by, any Governmental Authority, (iv) subject to applicable Law, shall promptly inform the other party of any communications with, and inquiries or requests for information from, such Governmental Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and (v) subject to applicable Law, shall consult with the other Parties in advance of any meeting or conference, whether in person or by telephone, with any such Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by such applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, give the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences. During the period from the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and the Closing,

Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a material portion of the assets of or equity in, any Person if such acquisition would reasonably be expected to delay, hinder or prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 5.3(c) as “outside counsel only.”

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing, each Party shall notify the United States Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (the “DDTC”) of the transactions contemplated hereby under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations § 122.4 and of the intent to transfer all open licenses or other export authorizations included in the Assigned Assets. Each party shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of such notifications, including providing counsel for the other party the opportunity in advance to review the proposed notification prior to submission and considering in good faith the views of the other party in connection with the notifications. For the avoidance of doubt, no such notification contemplated by this clause (d) shall serve as a condition precedent to the Closing.

(e) In the event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding by any Governmental Authority or other Person is commenced which raises questions about the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, the Parties agree to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to defend against such claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require, or be construed to require, Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to litigate with or otherwise participate in any Legal Proceeding with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any approval pursuant to this Agreement. In order to permit the satisfaction of the Closing condition set forth in Section 6.1(b), Purchaser shall (and Purchaser shall permit the Company, the Company Subsidiary and the Contributing Affiliate to) (i) agree to (A) any sale, license, divestiture or other disposition or holding separate of any capital stock, businesses, assets, properties or other interests of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective controlled Affiliates or (B) the imposition of any limitation, restriction or condition on the ability of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective controlled Affiliates to conduct their respective businesses or own, acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of any capital stock, businesses, assets, properties or other interests ((A) and (B), the “Antitrust Actions”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (1) any such actions are conditioned upon and become effective only from and after the Closing and (2) under no circumstances, shall Purchaser be required to propose, negotiate, commit to, effect or agree to Antitrust Actions or other related actions that materially and adversely affect Purchaser and its Affiliates (including after the Closing the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole) or the Business. Subject to the foregoing, in no event will Seller (and Seller will not permit any of its Affiliates including the Company, the Company Subsidiary or the Contributing Affiliate to) propose, negotiate, effect or agree to any Antitrust Actions without the prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Company, the Company Subsidiary and the Contributing Affiliate) be required to propose, negotiate, effect or agree to, any Antitrust Actions.

Section 5.4 Post-Closing Access; Preservation of Records.

(a) Except as otherwise agreed, from and after the Closing, Purchaser will make or cause to be made available to Seller and its representatives, all books, records and documents in its or its Affiliates’ possession (including, for purposes of this Section 5.4, Tax Returns and personnel records or files related to Business Employees and Former Employees (as such term is defined in the Asset Contribution Agreement)) of the Company, the Company Subsidiary and, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate (and the assistance of employees responsible for such books, records and documents) during normal business hours as may be reasonably necessary for: (i) investigating, settling, preparing for the defense or prosecution of, defending or prosecuting any action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or other Governmental Authority; (ii) preparing reports to Government Authorities; (iii) preparing and delivering any accounting or other statement provided for under this Agreement or otherwise or (iv) preparing Tax Returns or responding to or disputing any Tax inquiry, audit or assessment; provided, however, that access to such books, records, documents and employees will not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Company and Company Subsidiary and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Company and Company Subsidiary incurred by them in connection therewith will be paid by Seller; provided, further, that nothing herein shall require Purchaser to disclose any information if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege available to Purchaser or its Affiliates, contravene any applicable Law or violate any confidentiality obligation to a third party (it being understood that in such instances, Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to provide such information, in whole or in part, in a manner that would not result in any of the outcomes described in this proviso). Purchaser will cause the Company and the Company Subsidiary to maintain and preserve all such Tax Returns, books, records and documents for the greater of (A) seven (7) years after the Closing Date or (B) any applicable statutory or regulatory retention period, as the same may be extended and, in each case, shall offer to transfer such records to Seller at the end of any such period.

(b) Except as otherwise agreed, from and after the Closing, Seller will make or cause to be made available to Purchaser and its representatives, all books, records and documents in its possession (including, for purposes of this Section 5.4, Tax Returns) of the Company, the Company Subsidiary and, with respect to the Business, the Contributing Affiliate (and the assistance of employees responsible for such books, records and documents) during normal business hours as may be reasonably necessary for: (i) investigating, settling, preparing for the defense or prosecution of, defending or prosecuting any action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or other Governmental Authority; (ii) preparing reports to Government Authorities; (iii) preparing and delivering any accounting or other statement provided for under this Agreement or otherwise or (iv) preparing Tax Returns or responding to or disputing any Tax inquiry, audit or assessment; provided, however, that access to such books, records, documents and employees will not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of Seller and its Affiliates and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Seller and its Affiliates incurred by them in connection therewith will be paid by Purchaser; provided, further, that nothing herein shall require Seller to disclose any information if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege available to Seller or its Affiliates, contravene any applicable Law or violate any confidentiality obligation to a third party (it being understood that in such instances, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to provide such information, in whole or in part,

in a manner that would not result in any of the outcomes described in this proviso). Seller will maintain and preserve all such Tax Returns, books, records and documents for the greater of (A) seven (7) years after the Closing Date or (B) any applicable statutory or regulatory retention period, as the same may be extended and, in each case, shall offer to transfer such records to Purchaser at the end of any such period.

Section 5.5 Public Announcements. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall issue an initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement each of which such press release shall be reasonably agreed upon by the other Party. Unless required by applicable Law or Governmental Authority (including disclosures advisable or required under applicable securities Laws or the rules or regulations of any United States securities exchange or listing agreement covering publicly traded securities), no press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be issued, released or generated by either Purchaser or Seller (and each of Purchaser and Seller shall instruct its respective representatives not to make any publicity concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) without the prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If such disclosure is required by applicable Law or Governmental Authority (including disclosures advisable or required under applicable securities Laws or the rules or regulations of any United States securities exchange or listing agreement covering publicly traded securities), the Party seeking to make such disclosure shall, before making such release or announcement, provide a copy thereof to the other Party reasonably prior to such issuance. Neither Party shall be required to provide notice to the other Party or otherwise comply with this Section 5.5 to the extent any proposed release or announcement is consistent with information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligations under this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6 Reorganization Transactions. Seller shall carry out, prior to the Closing Date, the Reorganization Transactions that are required to occur prior to the Closing as described in Annex A.

Section 5.7 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall bear all such Taxes, fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Reorganization Transactions.

Section 5.8 Tax Matters.

(a) Liability for Taxes.

(i) Seller shall be liable for and pay (A) all Taxes imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-6 or similar provision of state, local or foreign law solely as a result of the Company or the Company Subsidiary having been a member of a Consolidated Tax Group, (B) Taxes imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing

Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, (C) any payments owed by the Company or the Company Subsidiary under any Tax allocation, sharing or indemnity agreements (other than any such agreements solely between the Company and the Company Subsidiary or any such agreements entered into by the Company or the Company Subsidiary after the Closing), (D) any Taxes imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary in connection with the Reorganization Transactions, and (E) any liability of the Company or the Company Subsidiary for the payment of Taxes of a predecessor or any transferor or otherwise by operation of a similar principle of Law in each case which relate to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable for or pay, and shall not indemnify Purchaser from and against, (I) any Taxes to the extent such Taxes were taken into account as a liability or reserve in calculating Final Working Capital, (II) any Taxes that result from any actual or deemed election under Section 338 of the Code or any similar provisions of state, local or foreign law as a result of the purchase of the Shares or that result from Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser, the Company or the Company Subsidiary engaging in any activity or transaction that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be treated as a purchase or sale of assets of the Company or the Company Subsidiary for Tax purposes and (III) any Taxes imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary as a result of transactions occurring on the Closing Date that are properly allocable (based on, among other relevant factors, factors set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)) to the portion of the Closing Date after the Closing (Taxes described in this proviso, hereinafter “Excluded Taxes”).

(ii) Purchaser and Seller agree that, with respect to any transaction described in clause (III) of Section 5.8(a)(i), the Company and all persons related to the Company under Section 267(b) of the Code immediately after the Closing shall treat the transaction for all federal income Tax purposes (in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)) and (to the extent permitted) for other income Tax purposes, as occurring at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date.

(iii) Seller shall be entitled to any refund of (or credit against) Taxes allocable to any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to take such steps as may be reasonably available to secure any such refund or credit, including through the filing of amended Tax Returns for any period that ends on or before Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. Purchaser shall inform Seller shortly after the end of each calendar year as to whether any such refund or credit is, or with the taking of action would be, available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to any such refund of (or credit against) Taxes to the extent that such refund or credit (a) was taken into account as an asset in calculating Final Working Capital, (b) is used by Purchaser to offset any Taxes paid by Purchaser for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 8.2 or (c) arose from the carryback of losses, credits or other Tax attributes from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.

(iv) Purchaser shall be liable for and pay (A) all Taxes imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary for any taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date unless such Taxes are described in clause (A), (C) or (D) of Section 5.8(a)(i) and (B) all Excluded Taxes.

(v) For purposes of Section 5.8(a)(i)-(iv), whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company or the Company Subsidiary for the portion of a Straddle Period that ends on or before the Closing Date, and the portion of a Straddle Period that begins after the Closing Date, the determination shall be made by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Company or such Company Subsidiary for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Company or such Company Subsidiary were closed at the close of the Closing Date, provided, however, that (I) transactions occurring on the Closing Date that are properly allocable (based on, among other relevant factors, factors set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)) to the portion of the Closing Date after the Closing shall be allocated to the taxable year or period that is deemed to begin at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date (it being understood that the Reorganization Transactions shall be allocated to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date irrespective of when those transactions occur), and (II) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as property Taxes and depreciation deductions, shall be apportioned between such two taxable years or periods on a daily basis.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller makes no representation, warranty, and provides no other assurance, with respect to the amount of any Tax Attributes of the Company or the Company Subsidiary, or with respect to the availability on and after the Closing Date of any Tax Attributes of the Company or the Company Subsidiary. Seller shall have no liability for any Taxes resulting from or arising with respect to any sale of the Company or the Company Subsidiary (or any assets thereof) following the Closing Date.

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) Seller shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) (x) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiary on a combined, consolidated or unitary basis with Seller or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Company or the Company Subsidiary) and (y) all other income Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiary for taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and (z) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiary (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) on or prior to the Closing Date. In each case Seller shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiary after the Closing Date and Purchaser

shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. The Tax Returns filed under this Section 5.8(b)(i) shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by Law.

(ii) All Tax Returns that Purchaser is required to file or cause to be filed in accordance with this Section 5.8(b) that relate to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice and, on such Tax Returns, no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in preparing and filing similar Tax Returns in prior periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by Law. With respect to any such Tax Return to be filed by Purchaser, not less than 30 days prior to the due date for such Tax Return, taking into account extensions (or, if such due date is within 30 days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), Purchaser shall provide Seller with a draft copy of such Tax Return for Seller’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii) Neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser shall (or shall cause or permit the Company or the Company Subsidiary to) make or change any Tax election, amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitation with respect to) any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Company or the Company Subsidiary with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period, or take any other action that would increase any Tax liability or reduce any Tax benefit in respect of any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iv) Purchaser shall promptly cause the Company and the Company Subsidiary to prepare and provide to Seller a package of Tax information materials, including, without limitation, schedules and work papers (the “Tax Package”) required by Seller to enable Seller to prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(i). The Tax Package shall be completed in accordance with past practice, including past practice as to providing such information and as to the method of computation of separate taxable income or other relevant measure of income of the Company. Purchaser shall cause the Tax Package to be delivered to Seller within 60 days after the Closing Date.

(i) Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or, after the Closing Date, the Company or the Company Subsidiary of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period or relating to a Tax for which Seller may be liable pursuant to this Agreement; provided that no failure to give such notice shall relieve Seller of any liability hereunder except to the extent, if any, that the rights of Seller with respect to such claim are actually prejudiced.

(ii) Provided that Seller does not dispute its obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the asserted liability, Seller shall have the sole right to represent the Company’s and the Company Subsidiary’s interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and to employ counsel of Seller’s choice at Seller’s expense; provided, however, that Seller shall consult with the Company regarding any such audit or proceeding and inform the Company in a timely manner of any material events concerning any such audit or proceeding, and Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted, at Purchaser’s expense, to be present at, and participate in, any such audit or proceeding. Subject to Section 5.8(c)(iii), neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser shall be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any claim for Taxes which could adversely affect the liability for Taxes relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or to any Straddle Period or relating to a Tax for which Seller would be liable pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Seller shall have the right to settle or dispose of the portion of any audit or proceeding relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that no settlement or other disposition of any claim for Tax which would adversely affect any Purchaser Indemnified Party in any taxable period in any manner or to any extent (including the imposition of income Tax deficiencies, the reduction of asset basis or cost adjustments and the reduction of loss or credit carryovers) shall be agreed to without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) In the event of any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to any taxable period ending after the Closing Date, including a Straddle Period, with respect to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may seek an indemnity from Seller under this Section 5.8 or Article 8, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly represent the Company’s and the Company’s Subsidiary’s interests in such audit or proceeding, shall employ counsel of their mutual choice, and shall cooperate with the other and the other’s representatives in a prompt and timely manner in connection with any such audit or proceeding. Seller shall have the right to settle or dispose of the portion of any such audit or proceeding relating to any Tax for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may seek an indemnity from Seller under this Section 5.8 or Article 8; provided, however, that no settlement or other disposition of any claim for Tax which would adversely affect any Purchaser Indemnified Party in any taxable period in any manner or to any extent (including, but not limited to, the imposition of income tax deficiencies, the reduction of asset basis or cost adjustments and the reduction of loss or credit carryovers) shall be agreed to without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree regarding any aspect of the conduct of any such audit or proceeding, the decision shall be made by the counsel employed to pursue such audit or proceeding on the basis of counsel’s good faith judgment regarding the course of action that would produce the overall lowest present value of Tax and litigation cost to the Parties. Any expenses relating to any such audit or proceeding shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in the same proportion as such related Taxes are borne by Purchaser and Seller in accordance with this Article 5 and Article 8.

(d) Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

(i) timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Taxes described in Section 5.7 (relating to sales, transfer and similar Taxes);

(ii) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 5.8(b), and in connection therewith, provide the other party with any necessary powers of attorney;

(iii) cooperate fully in preparing for and defending any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiary;

(iv) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Company and the Company Subsidiary; and

(v) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request relating to Taxes of the Company and the Company Subsidiary.

Section 5.9 Employee Matters.

(a) For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or such earlier date as a Business Employee’s employment with the Company Subsidiary and its Affiliates terminates), Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause the Company Subsidiary or one of their Affiliates to provide, the Business Employees with substantially the same terms and conditions of employment, including a rate of base salary, base wages or other base compensation, short-term bonus opportunity (including any annual cash bonus opportunity, if applicable) and aggregate employee benefits (excluding equity, equity-based or other long-term incentive awards) that are, in each case, no less favorable than that as in effect for each such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Upon a return to active employment with Seller and its Affiliates by any Leave Employee, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to such Leave Employee with substantially the same terms and conditions of employment, including a rate of base salary, base wages or other base compensation, short-term bonus opportunity (including any annual cash bonus opportunity, if applicable) and aggregate employee benefits (excluding equity, equity-based or other long-term incentive awards) that are, in each case, no less favorable than that as in effect for such Leave Employee immediately prior to such Leave Employee’s date of termination with Seller and its Affiliates. The offer of employment to a Leave Employee shall provide for employment commencing as of the date that such Leave Employee returns to active employment. Purchaser shall provide Seller with the opportunity to review and comment upon such employment offers and consider in good faith all such comments. Each Leave Employee who accepts an offer of employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall be deemed to be a Business Employee

for purposes of this Section 5.9 (other than Section 5.9(g)) beginning on his or her date of hire with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates.

(b) Purchaser shall have, or shall cause the Company Subsidiary or one of its Affiliates to have, in effect for a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date a severance plan, practice or policy applicable to each Business Employee that is not less favorable to the Business Employee than the severance plan, practice or policy applicable to the Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and set forth on Schedule 5.9(b) (with credit for service as set forth in Section 5.9(e)).

(c) Effective as of the Closing Date, each Business Employee and each Leave Employee shall become fully vested in his or her account balance in the Company Retirement Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have, or shall cause the Company Subsidiary or one of its Affiliates to have, in effect a defined contribution plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Purchaser Retirement Plan”) in which Business Employees who meet the eligibility criteria thereof shall be immediately eligible to participate. Purchaser agrees to cause the Purchaser Retirement Plan to accept eligible rollovers by Business Employees from the Company Retirement Plan except as would reasonably be expected to cause the Purchaser Retirement Plan to cease to be qualified or become subject to Taxes or other penalties.

(d) Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company Subsidiary or one of its Affiliates to, maintain Welfare Plans, including a group health plan, in which Business Employees and their spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries, who meet the eligibility criteria thereof, no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date with respect to any Welfare Plan which is a group health plan and no later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date with respect to all other Welfare Plans, may participate in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Purchaser Welfare Plans”). Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall ensure that (i) no waiting periods which exceed thirty (30) days or ninety (90) days, as applicable, exclusions or limitations with respect to any pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability or good health or actively-at-work exclusions are applicable to any Business Employees covered by Welfare Plans maintained by the Contributing Affiliate, the Company Subsidiary or their Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Seller Welfare Plans”), or their spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries, under any similar Purchaser Welfare Plans, except in all cases to the extent any such waiting period, exclusion or limitation was applicable to and unsatisfied under the Seller Welfare Plans, and (ii) any costs or expenses incurred by the Business Employees (and their spouses, dependents and other beneficiaries) under the Seller Welfare Plans with respect to the plan year that includes the Closing Date, up to and including the Closing Date, shall be specifically applied for purposes of satisfying any similar deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket provisions and like adjustments or limitations on coverage under the Purchaser Welfare Plans for the plan year that includes the Closing Date to the same extent as would have applied under such Seller Welfare Plans. The Parties will reasonably cooperate in good faith prior to the Closing Date to share information required for Purchaser to discharge its obligations under this Section 5.9(d), and all Purchaser obligations under this Section 5.9(d) are subject to the receipt by Purchaser from Seller of the relevant information necessary to effectuate this provision.

(e) With respect to each employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement, including severance, vacation and paid time-off plans, policies or practices, sponsored or maintained by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser or such Affiliate shall recognize and grant, for all Business Employees, credit for all service with Seller, the Contributing Affiliate, the Company, the Company Subsidiary, their Affiliates and their respective predecessors to the same extent recognized or granted by Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date, for purposes of eligibility and vesting and, in respect of any severance, vacation and paid time-off plans, level of benefits; provided that no service credit shall be recognized or granted to the extent any duplication of benefits results therefrom.

(f) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume and honor in accordance with their terms, all employment, retention, severance and termination plans, agreements or arrangements (including change-in-control provisions) of Business Employees (“Retention Arrangements”) listed on Schedule 5.9(f) (or shall cause its Affiliates, including the Company and the Company Subsidiary, to retain and honor all such Retention Arrangements) and shall pay to each Business Employee any amounts that become payable to such Business Employee following the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the applicable Retention Arrangement (including the “Retention Bonus Payment” (as such term is defined in each respective Retention Arrangement)) (it being understood that such Retention Arrangements that are assumed by Purchaser hereunder shall be treated as an Assigned Plan and as a result, the Liabilities thereunder (except as provided below with respect to the Divestiture Completion Bonus Payment) shall be treated as Assumed Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement); provided, however, that Seller shall be responsible for and cause each “Divesture Completion Bonus Payment” (as such term is defined in each respective Retention Arrangement) (it being understood that the Liabilities related to such Divestiture Completion Bonus Payments shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement) which is due and payable under each such Retention Arrangement to be made. Purchaser shall obtain a waiver and release of claims fully releasing all claims the applicable Business Employee has or may have against Seller as well as Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, subject to the limitations set forth in the respective Retention Arrangement, and in a form customarily used by Purchaser and its Affiliates, in connection with the payment of the Retention Bonus Payment amounts to a terminated Business Employee, and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar waiver and release of all claims against Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, in a form customarily used by Purchaser and its Affiliates, in connection with the payment of any other Retention Bonus Payment amounts.

(g) Purchaser shall have in effect, or cause to be in effect, as of the Closing Date, health care and dependent care flexible spending reimbursement accounts under a cafeteria plan qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (the “Purchaser Cafeteria Plan”) in which Business Employees who meet the eligibility criteria thereof may immediately participate. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be transferred to Purchaser an amount in cash equal to the excess of the aggregate accumulated contributions to the flexible spending reimbursement accounts under Seller’s cafeteria plan in which such Business Employees participate (the “Seller Cafeteria Plan”) made during the year in which the Closing Date occurs by the Business Employees over the aggregate reimbursement payouts made for such year from such accounts to such Business Employees. Purchaser or its Affiliate shall cause the balance of each Business Employee’s accounts under the Seller Cafeteria Plan as of the

Closing Date to be credited to the Business Employee’s corresponding accounts under the Purchaser Cafeteria Plan in which such employee participates following the Closing Date. Once the Business Employee account balances and the Seller Cafeteria Plan records are actually transferred, but in no event prior thereto, and on or after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement by the Business Employees, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date, that have not been paid in full as of the Closing Date, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the Purchaser Cafeteria Plan, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Contributing Affiliate, the Company, the Company Subsidiary and their respective Affiliates from any and all claims duly incurred by or with respect to the Business Employees for reimbursement under the Seller Cafeteria Plan that have not been paid in full as of the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees to cause the Purchaser Cafeteria Plan to honor, through the end of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, the elections made by each Business Employee under the Seller Cafeteria Plan in respect of the flexible spending reimbursement accounts that are in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 5.9(g) shall cause liability to transfer to Purchaser until Seller Cafeteria Plan account balances and corresponding Seller Cafeteria Plan records which are necessary in order for Purchaser to meet its obligations under this Section 5.9(g) transfer to Purchaser.

(h) No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any Business Employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) or otherwise with Seller, Purchaser, the Company, the Company Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates, and no provision of this Section 5.9 shall create any such rights in any such Persons hereunder or otherwise in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Employee Benefit Plans or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement which may be maintained or contributed to by Seller, Purchaser, the Company, the Company Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 5.9 shall constitute or be deemed to be the creation of or an amendment to any Employee Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement of Seller, Purchaser, the Company, the Company Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates.

Section 5.10 Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire. Without the prior written consent of Seller, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall, for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, either directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire, employ or engage (either as a consultant or employee) any Person who is or was an employee (including any temporary or leased employees) of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Business Employees) on, or during the 60 days prior to, the Closing, that Purchaser or its Affiliates meets in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement except that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be precluded from placing any public advertisement or other form of generalized solicitation not specifically directed to such employees or hiring any such employee who responds to any such public advertisement. Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall, for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, either directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire, employ or engage (either as a consultant or employee) any Business Employee, except that Seller and its Affiliates shall not be precluded from placing any public advertisement or other form of generalized solicitation not specifically directed to such employees or hiring any such employee who responds to any such public advertisement.

Section 5.11 Guarantees. At or before the Closing, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to arrange (and Seller shall provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser in arranging) for substitute instruments to fully replace and release Seller or its applicable Affiliate as issuer, guarantor, credit support provider or account party with respect to (a) any letters of credit, guarantees and other financial assurance obligations issued or entered into by or on behalf of the Business (collectively, “Guarantees”) set forth on Schedule 5.11 and (b) any Guarantees issued in the ordinary course in connection with the Business prior to the Closing and not set forth in such list in respect of which Purchaser has provided its prior written consent. To the extent Purchaser is unable to obtain a substitute or replacement instrument, or to the extent the beneficiary or counterparty under any such Guarantee does not accept any such substitute instrument, Purchaser shall either (at Purchaser’s discretion) (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, against, and reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for, all amounts paid, including costs or expenses, in connection with such Guarantees, including Seller’s and its Affiliates’ expenses in maintaining such Guarantees or (ii) at Closing issue or cause to be issued by a third party reasonably acceptable to Seller, a letter of credit, guarantee or other financial assurance obligation for the account and benefit of Seller or its applicable Affiliates in an amount equal to Seller’s and its Affiliates’ entire potential Liability pursuant to all Guarantees not able to be so replaced in accordance with the foregoing sentence, in each case whether or not any such Guarantee is drawn upon or required to be performed, and Purchaser shall in any event, without duplication of amounts paid to Seller pursuant to any indemnity, letter of credit, guarantee or other financial assurance obligation, promptly reimburse Seller to the extent any Guarantee is called upon and Seller or its Affiliates make any payment or are obligated to reimburse the party issuing the Guarantee. Other than in cooperation with Purchaser, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and provided that Purchaser is in compliance with its obligations under this Section 5.11, Seller and its Affiliates shall take no steps to replace, remove or obtain the release of any Guarantee provided by Seller or any of its Affiliates or any third party on behalf thereof with respect to any Assigned Assets or Assumed Liabilities.

Section 5.12 Financial Statements. Pursuant to and subject to Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), prior to the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Purchaser such information and cooperation and assistance as Purchaser shall reasonably request for Purchaser to prepare the historical, annual and interim audited and unaudited financial statements of the Business and the pro forma financial information required to be filed pursuant to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K and in accordance with the requirements thereof, in a Form 8-K amendment following the Closing, including obtaining and providing such data and financial information with respect to the Business in the possession of Seller or its Affiliates as Purchaser shall reasonably request and afford Purchaser and its authorized representatives such access to employees of Seller or its Affiliates with knowledge of such data and financial information as Purchaser shall reasonably request. Following the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to provide to Purchaser such information and cooperation and assistance as Purchaser shall reasonably request for Purchaser to prepare such financial statements and pro forma financial information, including affording Purchaser and its authorized representatives such access to employees of Seller or its Affiliates whose employment did not transfer to Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and who have knowledge of the data and financial information with respect to the Business, as Purchaser shall reasonably request, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, and causing to be delivered a customary representation letter

promptly following Purchaser’s reasonable request therefor; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) nothing in this sentence shall require such information, cooperation or assistance to the extent it would unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Business or the other businesses or operations of Seller or its Affiliates and (B) Seller and its Affiliates shall not be required to incur any Liability in connection with providing such information, cooperation or assistance for which Seller is not entitled to reimbursement by Purchaser pursuant to the following sentence. Purchaser shall, promptly upon the written request of Seller, reimburse Seller, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs that have been incurred by Seller (including those of its representatives) in connection with providing Purchaser information and cooperation and assistance as provided in this Section 5.12.

Section 5.13 Receivables. From and after the Closing, if either Party receives any (a) funds intended for, or otherwise the property of, the other Party, the receiving Party shall promptly (i) notify and (ii) forward such funds to, the other Party or (b) purchase order, letter or other document intended for, or otherwise the property of, the other Party, the receiving Party shall promptly (i) notify and (ii) forward such document to, the other Party. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right and authority to collect for its own account all receivables that are included in the Assigned Assets and to endorse with the name of Seller or any applicable Affiliate of Seller any checks or drafts received with respect to any such receivables.

Section 5.14 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause its respective controlled Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Contribution Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event that Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective controlled Affiliates discovers following the Closing that (a) (i) any Assigned Asset was inadvertently not transferred and delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, Seller shall promptly transfer and deliver, or shall cause to be transferred, such Assigned Asset to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) any Excluded Asset was inadvertently transferred to Purchaser at the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly transfer, or shall cause to be transferred, such Excluded Asset back to Seller, or (b) any Assumed Liability was inadvertently not transferred to and assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly assume such Assumed Liability or (ii) any Excluded Liability was inadvertently assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, Seller shall promptly assume such Excluded Liability, in all cases, for no additional consideration.

Section 5.15 Wind Down of Trademarks. To the extent any names or trademarks owned by Seller or its Affiliates were used in the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date (other than the Assigned Trademarks (as defined in the Intellectual Property Contribution Agreement)), Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to use such names and trademarks in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with past use and practice, and shall wind down the use of such names and trademarks promptly following the Closing, but shall in any event cease any such use within three months of the Closing Date.

Section 5.16 Notification of Certain Matters. From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each of Seller and Purchaser shall notify the other of (a) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Contribution Agreements; (c) any Legal Proceeding commenced or threatened against such Person or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Contribution Agreements; (d) the occurrence of any Effect which to Seller’s knowledge or to Purchaser’s knowledge, as applicable, would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article 6 becoming incapable of being satisfied or that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the delivery of, or the failure to deliver, any notice, and the information or knowledge obtained by the other Party pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall not (i) affect or be deemed to affect or modify any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Closing in Article 6 or otherwise prejudice in any way the rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder, including pursuant to Article 8, (ii) be deemed to affect or modify a Party’s reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the other Party in this Agreement, (iii) be deemed to amend or supplement the Schedules or prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant by either Party or (iv) in the case of clause (d) above, give rise to a claim under Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.3(c) or constitute a failure to satisfy any condition under Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.3(b), in each case, solely on the basis of the failure to give such notice contemplated in this Section 5.16.

Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause to be settled or cancelled the amount included under the category “Intercompany Payables” reflected in the Balance Sheet, as the same may be at the time of such settlement or cancellation.

The representations and warranties of Seller, on the one hand, and of Purchaser, on the other hand, set forth in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 6.2(c) or by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.3(c) shall survive the Closing and terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authorization), Section 3.5 (Capitalization; Subsidiaries) and Section 3.17 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Seller Specified Reps”) shall survive indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 3.9 (Taxes) and in Section 3.12(b)-(e) (Employee Benefits) shall survive until thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations governing claims made for any breach of such representation or warranty, (iii) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 3.10 (Environmental Matters) shall survive until the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (iv) the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Section 4.1 (Organization), Section 4.2 (Authorization), Section 4.6 (Brokers), Section 4.7 (Financial Ability) and Section 4.8 (Solvency) (collectively, the “Purchaser Specified Reps”), shall survive indefinitely and (v) insofar as any bona fide good faith written claim for indemnification for breach thereof made prior to such date and delivered to the applicable party hereto, shall survive thereafter until fully and finally resolved and, as only to the claim specified therein, such applicable expiration shall not affect the rights to indemnification of the party making such claim. Any written claim by an Indemnified Party (as defined below) with respect to a breach of any covenant or other agreement in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by a party pursuant to Section 6.2(c) or Section 6.3(c) to be performed at or prior to the Closing by Seller, the Company or Purchaser may be given at any time prior to the day that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. All other covenants set forth herein shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms. Any party providing indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 is referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party”, and any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, an “Indemnified Party.”

Section 8.2 Indemnification by Seller. Effective as of the Closing and subject to the time limits set forth in Section 8.1, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser, its Affiliates and the officers, directors, employees and agents of Purchaser and its Affiliates, including following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries (each such Person, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses (whether in connection with a Direct Claim or a Third Party Claim) imposed upon or incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party based upon or arising from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty as of the date hereof or, subject to any changes to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5.1, as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (or, if made as of a specified date, as of such date), made by Seller, other than Seller Specified Reps (excluding the representations and warranties

addressed in clause (j) below), or any inaccuracy of the certificate delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.2(c) hereof with respect to such representations and warranties;

(b) any breach as of the date hereof or, subject to any changes to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5.1, as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (or, if made as of a specified date, as of such date), of any of Seller Specified Reps or any inaccuracy in the certificate to be delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.2(c) with respect to such representations or warranties;

(c) any breach of or failure by the Company or Seller to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by the Company or Seller on or before the Closing Date or any inaccuracy in the certificate delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.2(c) hereof with respect to such covenants or agreements;

(d) any breach of or failure by Seller to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Seller after the Closing Date;

(e) any breach of or failure by Seller to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Intellectual Property Contribution Agreement, whether such covenants or agreements are to be performed by Seller on or after the Closing Date, including any failure to discharge the Excluded Liabilities (as defined in such agreement) in accordance with the terms thereunder;

(f) any breach of or failure by International Contributing Affiliate to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Contracts Contribution Agreement, whether such covenants or agreements are to be performed by International Contributing Affiliate on or after the Closing Date, including any failure to discharge the Excluded Liabilities (as defined in such agreement) in accordance with the terms thereunder;

(g) any breach or failure by the Contributing Affiliate to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Asset Contribution Agreement which are to be performed by the Contributing Affiliate on or after the Closing Date, including any failure to discharge the Excluded Liabilities (as defined in such agreement) in accordance with the terms thereunder;

(h) any Liabilities arising solely as a result of the Reorganization Transactions other than any Liability (i) for which Purchaser is required to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.3 or (ii) arising from actions taken by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiary) following Closing;

(i) any Excluded Liability under any of the Contribution Agreements;

(j) (i) any Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 5.7, (ii) any Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 5.8(a) or (iii) any Taxes arising out of a breach of the representations contained in Section 3.9 as of the date hereof or, subject to any changes to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5.1, as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (or, if made as of a specified date, as of such date), made by Seller,

or any inaccuracy of the certificate delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.2(c) hereof with respect to such representations and warranties; and

(k) any Third Party Claim described on Schedule 8.2(k).

Section 8.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Effective as of the Closing and subject to the time limits set forth in Section 8.1, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller, its Affiliates and the officers, directors, employees and agents of Seller and its Affiliates other than, following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries (each such Person, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by such Seller Indemnified Party based upon or arising from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (or, if made as of a specified date, as of such date) made by Purchaser pursuant to Article 4, other than the Purchaser Specified Reps, or any inaccuracy in the certificate to be delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.3(c) with respect to such representations or warranties;

(b) any breach as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (or, if made as of a specified date, as of such date) of any of the Purchaser Specified Reps, or any inaccuracy in the certificate to be delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.3(c) with respect to such representations or warranties;

(c) any breach of or failure by Purchaser to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Purchaser on or before the Closing Date or any inaccuracy in the certificate to be delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.3(c) with respect to such covenants and agreements;

(d) any breach of or failure by Purchaser or the Company to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Purchaser or the Company after the Closing Date;

(e) any breach of or failure by the Company to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Intellectual Property Contribution Agreement which are to be performed by the Company after the Closing Date, including any failure to discharge the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in such agreement) in accordance with the terms thereunder;

(f) any breach of or failure by the Company Subsidiary to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Asset Contribution Agreement or the Contracts Contribution Agreement which are to be performed by the Company Subsidiary after the Closing Date, including any failure to discharge the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in each such agreement, as the case may be) in accordance with the terms thereunder;

(g) the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Purchaser contemplated by Section 5.2 and Section 5.11, if any;

(h) any Assumed Liability under any of the Contribution Agreements;

(i) any Taxes for which Purchaser is liable pursuant to Section 5.7 or Section 5.8(a); and

(j) except as expressly provided in Section 8.2, any Loss or Liability in connection with the ownership and operation of the Business, the Company or the Company Subsidiary after the Closing.

Section 8.4 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the rights to indemnification, except in relation to Taxes, pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 are subject to the following limitations:

(a) The maximum aggregate Liability of Seller to all Purchaser Indemnified Parties taken together for Losses for any claims for indemnification (i) pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be limited to $28,050,000.00 (the “Cap”) and (ii) pursuant to Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(c), Section 8.2(d), Section 8.2(e), Section 8.2(f), Section 8.2(g) and Section 8.2(k), shall be limited to the Adjusted Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller be liable in the aggregate to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in an amount greater than the Adjusted Purchase Price (except in the case of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(h), Section 8.2(i) or Section 8.2(j)); provided, further, that in no event shall the limitations set forth in clause (ii) in respect of Sections 8.2(e), Section 8.2(f) and Section 8.2(g) limit Seller’s indemnification obligation in respect of Excluded Liabilities pursuant to Section 8.2(i). In addition, Seller shall not be liable for Losses for any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b) unless and to the extent that each individual claim for indemnification made by the Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b) is for an amount greater than $25,000 (the “De Minimis Amount”) and, with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the total of all Losses for any such claims for indemnification shall exceed $1,870,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), and then only for the excess amount over the Deductible.

(b) The maximum aggregate Liability of Purchaser to all Seller Indemnified Parties taken together for Losses for any claims for indemnification (i) pursuant to Section 8.3(a) shall be limited to the Cap and (ii) pursuant to Section 8.3(b), Section 8.3(c), Section 8.3(d), Section 8.3(e), Section 8.3(f) and Section 8.3(g) shall be limited to the Adjusted Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be liable in the aggregate to the Seller Indemnified Parties for any claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in an amount greater than the Adjusted Purchase Price (except in the case of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(h), Section 8.3(i) or Section 8.2(j)); provided, further, that in no event shall the limitations set forth in clause (ii) in respect of Sections 8.3(e) or Section 8.3(f) limit Purchaser’s indemnification obligation in respect of Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 8.3(h). In addition, Purchaser shall not be liable for Losses for any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(b) unless and to the extent that each individual claim for indemnification made by a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(b) is for an amount greater than the De Minimis Amount and, with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a), the total of all Losses for any such claims for indemnification shall exceed the Deductible, and then only for the excess amount over the Deductible.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation under this Article 8 to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss to the extent it (i) was included in the Actual Working Capital or (ii) was the subject of a dispute with respect to the Final Working Capital Closing Date Calculation pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3(b) but did not result in an adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.3(d). Any such Loss shall be disregarded for all purposes of indemnification pursuant to this Article 8.

(d) Recovery by any Indemnified Party of any Loss suffered or incurred by such party as a result of any breach by any other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement shall be limited to the actual damages suffered or incurred by such party as a result of the breach by the breaching party of its obligations hereunder. In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any recovery under this Agreement for (i) special, exemplary, punitive, consequential, incidental or indirect damages and (ii) diminution in value or lost profits (including with respect to any Losses on account of lost opportunities); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of clause (i) to any such Losses (y) to the extent such Losses (other than punitive damages) were reasonably foreseeable or (z) if any Indemnified Party is held liable to any third party for such Losses.

(e) Any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Article 8 shall be paid without duplication, and in no event shall any Indemnified Party be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Loss. The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to an Indemnified Party in respect of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be reduced by any amounts actually received (including amounts received under insurance) by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (after deducting therefrom the full amount of any applicable premiums, deductibles, collection costs, premium adjustments, retrospectively rated premiums or other Losses incurred by it in procuring such recovery) and any Tax benefit actually realized in the taxable year of such Loss for such Indemnified Party in each case, as a result of the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses (such amounts (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the Losses incurred by it in procuring such recovery) are collectively referred to herein as “Indemnity Reduction Amounts”); provided, that no Indemnified Party shall be obligated to make such an insurance claim related to any Loss for which it is seeking indemnification or has obtained indemnification pursuant to this Article 8. If any Indemnified Party receives any Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect of a claim for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement after the full amount of such claim has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such claim and such Indemnity Reduction Amounts exceed the remaining unpaid balance of such claim, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim, less (ii) the amount of the indemnity payment that would have been due if such Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect thereof had been received before the indemnity payment was made. An insurer or other third party who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to any

benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each party hereto, as appropriate, will, or will cause each Indemnified Party to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue promptly any claims or rights it may have against all third parties which would reduce the amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement.

(f) In valuing a Loss, no adjustment shall be made as a result of any multiple, increase factor, or any other premium over fair market value, book or historical value which may have been paid by Purchaser for the Shares whether or not such multiple, increase factor or other premium had been used by Purchaser at the time of, or in connection with, calculating or preparing its bid, its proposed purchase price for the Shares or its final purchase price for the Shares.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights and remedies of an Indemnified Party shall not be limited by the fact that any Indemnified Party (i) had actual or constructive knowledge (regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained through such Indemnified Party’s own investigation or through disclosure by the other Party, its Representatives or any other Person) of any breach, event or circumstances, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, or (ii) waived (A) any breach of representation or compliance with any covenant or (B) any condition to the Closing set forth in Article 6.

(h) For purposes (i) of determining whether a breach of representation or warranty has occurred for the purposes of Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 any qualification as to “Material Adverse Effect” contained in Article 3 and Article 4 (other than Section 3.1 and Section 3.7) of this Agreement shall be deemed to be replaced with “material and adverse to the Business” and (ii) of calculating the amount of Losses related thereto, any qualification as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar qualification or standard contained in Article 3 and Article 4 of the Agreement shall be disregarded (it being understood that the word Material in the defined term “Material Contracts,” the qualification as to “Material Adverse Effect” contained in Section 3.7 and the qualification of the word “material” in Section 3.12(a) shall not be disregarded for any of such purposes).

Section 8.5 Indemnification Procedures; Third Party Claims.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within thirty (30) Business Days of such determination (a “Direct Claim”), stating in reasonable detail the factual basis for the claim, and the amount of the indemnifiable Loss, 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 or arises (the “Indemnity Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to give the Indemnity Notice shall not waive an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification, unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party was materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give notice. Any such Indemnity Notice need only specify such information to the knowledge of the Indemnified Party as of the date of such Indemnity Notice and shall not limit or prejudice any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party on the

basis of any limitation on the information included in such Indemnity Notice made based on advice of counsel to preserve the attorney client privilege. In the event of a claim, action, suit, proceeding or demand relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought by one party hereto against another, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a party has breached this Agreement, then such breaching party shall be liable for, and shall pay, the reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses that the non-breaching party has incurred in connection with such claim, action, suit, proceeding or demand, including any appeal therefrom.

(b) If any claim, action, suit, proceeding or demand is brought by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) against an Indemnified Party, and if such party intends to seek indemnification with respect thereto pursuant to this Article 8, such Indemnified Party shall promptly following receipt of notice of the assertion or commencement of such Third Party Claim notify the Indemnifying Party in writing and in reasonable detail of the Third Party Claim (the “Third Party Claim Notice”) (including the factual basis for the Third Party Claim, and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party was materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give notice; provided, further, that it is understood and agreed that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party prior to the settlement of a Third Party Claim (whether by paying a claim or executing a binding settlement agreement with respect thereto) or the entry of a judgment or issuance of an award with respect to a Third Party Claim shall constitute actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such Third Party Claim. Such notice shall also (i) reasonably identify the basis under which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article 8, (ii) if known, identify the amount of the indemnifiable Loss and method of computation thereof, and (iii) enclose true and correct copies of any written document furnished to the Indemnified Party by the Person that instituted the Third Party Claim. Any such Third Party Claim Notice need only specify such information to the knowledge of the Indemnified Party as of the date of such Third Party Claim Notice and shall not limit or prejudice any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party on the basis of any limitation on the information included in such Third Party Claim Notice made based on advice of counsel to preserve the attorney client privilege. Thereafter, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(c) The Indemnifying Party will have the right, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Third Party Claim Notice, to participate in or to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim (in either case at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any Third Party Claim that (i) seeks any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (ii) seeks monetary damages the amount of which would reasonably be expected to exceed any applicable limitation on the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible hereunder. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable to

the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof in the circumstances described below. Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will keep the other reasonably informed of all material developments upon becoming aware thereof relating to or arising in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, may retain separate counsel, and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control the defense of such Third Party Claim (including by failing to timely notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to control such defense in accordance with this Section 8.5(c)), the Indemnified Party may control the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel of its choosing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.5 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which (i) the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Losses in connection with such Third Party Claim, (ii) unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party completely from all Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, (iii) does not impose any Liability (including equitable remedies) on the Indemnified Party and (iv) does not involve a finding or admission of any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not make any payment toward a settlement of such claim, nor permit to be paid any monies as part of a settlement, unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any Liability, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any claim, such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any rights relating to such claim against any claimant

or plaintiff asserting such claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated rights.

(f) If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 8.5 and Section 5.8(c) (relating to Tax contests), the provisions of Section 5.8(c) shall control with respect to Tax contests.

(g) Purchaser and Seller agree to report each indemnification payment made in respect of a Loss as an adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price for federal income Tax purposes.

Section 8.6 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 2.3 and Section 9.11, and except for claims based on fraud, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Closing occurs, the remedies set forth in this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties hereto for any misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement (other than Section 5.2(b)) or, except under the Transition Services Agreement, in any certificate, agreement or document delivered in connection herewith (including the Contribution Agreements) or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby (including with respect to environmental, health or safety matters, including without limitation those arising under CERCLA or any other Environmental Laws or any other environmental matters). In no event shall Purchaser or Seller make any setoff against amounts otherwise due to the other Party or any of its Affiliates by reason of any claim either may have against the other Party under this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Mitigation. Purchaser, Seller and the Company shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or Liability with respect to which one party hereto is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or Liability.

In this Agreement, (a) the use of the term “including” means “including, without limitation”; (b) the word “or” shall be disjunctive but not exclusive; (c) a reference to a statute, regulation, proclamation, ordinance or by-law includes all statutes, regulations, proclamations, ordinances or by-laws amending, consolidating or replacing it, whether passed by the same or another Governmental Authority

with legal power to do so, and a reference to a statute includes all regulations, proclamations, ordinances and by-laws issued under the statute; (d) a reference to an entity includes any successor entity, whether by way of merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other business combination; (e) all reference to currency or “$” in this Agreement shall be deemed to be reference to United States dollars and (f) reference to a word defined hereunder shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party hereto. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision.

Section 9.5 Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibit, the Annexes and Schedules hereto, and all documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Disclosure of any item in any Schedule referenced by a particular section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to each other section in this Agreement if the relevance of such disclosure to such other section is reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross-reference thereto. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedules is intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts of the items so included or other item, are or are not material or that such fact or matter would with any other fact or matter have a Material Adverse Effect, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material or would with any other fact or matter have a Material Adverse Effect for purposes of this Agreement. No disclosure in the Schedules to the Agreement relating to any possible, potential or alleged breach or violation of any Law or Contract shall be construed as an admission that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. In disclosing the information in the Schedules, the Company expressly does not waive any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed herein. References in the Schedules to any agreement include references to such agreement’s exhibits and schedules.

Section 9.6 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Article 8, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto.

Section 9.8 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which

shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 9.9 Knowledge of Seller. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to Seller’s knowledge” and “known by Seller” and any derivations thereof shall mean as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge without independent investigation (and shall in no event encompass constructive, imputed or similar concepts of knowledge) of the individuals set forth on Schedule 9.9, none of whom shall have any personal Liability or obligations regarding such knowledge.

Section 9.10 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each party agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York state courts or the federal courts of the United State of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and any appellate court from any thereof, for the purpose of any legal action or proceeding against a party hereto with respect to the subject matter of, or related to, this Agreement. Each party irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought as provided in this subsection, and further irrevocably waives any claim that any such legal action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent a party has or may later acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from legal process with respect to itself or its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity under this subsection. Each party to this Agreement agrees that service of process shall be made in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 9.2. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10.

Section 9.11 Remedies. Seller acknowledges that the transactions contemplated hereunder are unique and that Purchaser shall be irreparably injured should such transactions not be consummated in a timely fashion. Consequently, Purchaser shall not have an adequate remedy at Law if Seller shall fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder when required to do so hereunder. In such event, Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other remedy available in equity or Law, to specific performance of such obligation by Seller, subject to: (a) Purchaser’s performance of its obligations hereunder; and (b) satisfaction by Purchaser of the other terms and conditions hereof.

contemplated hereunder, including with respect to the payment of the Initial Purchase Price, when required to do so hereunder.

Section 9.13 Failure or Indulgence not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 9.14 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in a written instrument executed by the Parties hereto.
