Section 2.02 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Units and the Acquired Assets shall be $76,000,000 (the “Base Amount”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof (the Base Amount as so adjusted, the “Purchase Price”). The parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price as provided in Section 6.04(b).

Section 2.03 Transactions to be Effected at the Closing.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller:

(ii) the Transaction Documents and all other agreements, documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by Seller at or prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement.

Section 2.04 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Closing Adjustment.

(i) At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Working Capital Statement”), certified by the chief financial officer of Seller, setting forth an estimate of Closing Working Capital as of the last day of the most recently ended month for which financial statements are available (the “Estimated Working Capital”). The Estimated Working Capital Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles and in the same manner as set forth in the Sample Working Capital Statement.

(ii) In the event that the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Cap, the Base Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the positive difference between the Estimated Working Capital and the Working Capital Cap (a “Price Adjustment Increase”). In the event that the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Threshold, the Base Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the positive difference between the Estimated Working Capital and the Working Capital Threshold (a “Price Adjustment Decrease”):

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, if the Estimated Working Capital is an amount (1) equal to or greater than the Working Capital Threshold and (2) equal to or less than the Working Capital Cap, there shall be no adjustment to the Base Amount at the Closing.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller, acting pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”),

certified by the chief financial officer of Seller, setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall contain an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein). The Closing Working Capital Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles and in the same manner as set forth in the Sample Working Capital Statement.

(ii) After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Buyer shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Buyer and Buyer’s Accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Seller and/or Seller’s Accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Seller’s possession or under Seller’s control) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Seller or the Company.

(iii) On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Buyer may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Seller a written statement setting forth Buyer’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Buyer’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Buyer fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Working Capital reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer. If Buyer delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding.

(iv) If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”, and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller’s Accountants or Buyer’s Accountants to be appointed by mutual

agreement of Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountants shall only consider and have authority to resolve the Disputed Amounts and shall have no other rights or obligations with respect to any Undisputed Amounts, including but not limited, audit rights. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made in accordance with the Accounting Principles and without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively, the difference between which, in the aggregate, shall be referred to as the “Disputed Amount Range”.

(v) Buyer and Seller shall each bear fifty percent (50%) of all fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants; provided, that, if the Independent Accountants determine the Disputed Amounts to be within ten percent (10% measured by the Disputed Amount Range) of Buyer’s calculations as set forth of the Statement of Objections, then Seller shall be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of Independent Accountants, and if the Independent Accountants determine the Disputed Amounts to be within ten percent (10% measured by the Disputed Amount Range) of the calculations set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement, then Buyer shall bear all fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants. For purposes of clarification, if the Disputed Amount Range is $500,000 and the Independent Accountants’ determination of the Disputed Amounts is within $50,000 of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Objections, then the Seller shall be responsible for all of the fees of the Independent Accountants. If the Independent Accountants’ determination of the Disputed Amounts is within $50,000 of the amounts reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement, then the Buyer shall be responsible for all of the fees of the Independent Accountants.

(vi) The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Closing Working Capital shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(vii) No later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Review Period if Buyer does not dispute any items in the Closing Working Capital Statement or, if Buyer disputes items in the Closing Working Capital Statement, after all Disputed Items have been resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.04(b):

(G)

if the Closing Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Cap and a Price Adjustment Decrease was effected pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(ii), then an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Price Adjustment Decrease plus (y) an amount equal to the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the Working Capital Cap, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller;

Section 5.03 No Solicitation of Other Bids.

(a) Seller shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Affiliates (including the Company) or any of its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding a Competing Proposal; or (ii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding) regarding a Competing Proposal. Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company) and all of its and their Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, a Competing Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Competing Proposal” shall mean any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates) concerning (1) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving the Company; (2) the issuance or acquisition of Units of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company; or (3) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of the Company’s properties or assets.

(b) In the event that Seller receives an unsolicited Competing Proposal from any Person, Seller may participate in discussions with such Person, disclose any information concerning the Company to such Person and permit such Person to conduct customary due diligence review of the Company and the Subsidiaries, provided that Seller may not disclose any of the terms of this Agreement which have not been publicly disclosed in accordance with applicable Law. If the Board of Directors of Seller, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties to Seller’s stockholders, deems an unsolicited Competing Proposal to be superior to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of the determination by its Board of Directors, advise Buyer orally and in writing of the terms of the Competing Proposal and, subject to Seller’s and the Company’s compliance with any applicable confidentiality agreement, provide copies of the Competing Proposal to Buyer. Upon receipt of written notification, Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days in which to indicate that it will match all of the terms of the Competing Proposal, including, but not limited to, the price (such proposal, a “Matching Proposal”). For purposes of this Section 5.03, Buyer shall be deemed to match the price term of a Competing Proposal if the revised price offered by Buyer is equal to the price in the Competing Proposal minus the Termination Fee payable to Buyer in accordance with Section 5.03(c); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if Buyer’s revised price term is deemed to match the price term of the Competing Proposal but Buyer does not otherwise match each of the other terms of the Competing Proposal (other than terms related to the structure of the transaction if the structure proposed by the Competing Proposal is a sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of the Company’s properties or assets), such revised price shall not be deemed to constitute a Matching Proposal for purposes of this Section 5.03. If Buyer delivers to Seller a Matching Proposal within five Business Days, Seller shall immediately cease discussions with the Person making the Competing Proposal and Seller’s rights under this Section 5.03(b) to engage in discussions concerning an unsolicited Competing Proposal shall terminate. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Competing Proposal may not be deemed to be superior to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless such Competing Proposal exceeds the material economic and non-economic terms of this Agreement (other than any terms set forth herein related to the timing of the Closing and any regulatory approvals required by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby) and shall not provide any material concessions to the buyer under the Competing Proposal that are not made available to Buyer under this Agreement.

(c) In the event that Buyer does not deliver to Seller a Matching Proposal within five (5) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of the Competing Proposal from Seller, Seller may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(c)(iii) and shall, upon termination of this Agreement, pay to Buyer the amount of $3,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”), which shall be Buyer’s sole right and remedy with respect to a termination of the Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.3 and Section 9.1(c)(iii).

(b) If any event, condition, fact or circumstance that is required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.04 requires any change in the Disclosure Schedule, or if any such event, condition, fact or circumstance would require such a change assuming the Disclosure Schedule were dated as of the date of the occurrence, existence or discovery of such event, condition, fact or circumstance, then Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer an update to the Disclosure Schedule specifying such change. Each update shall be deemed to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedule for the purpose of determining the accuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Company or Seller in this Agreement, whether for purposes of Article VIII or otherwise under this Agreement (other than in connection with any willful breach, intentional misrepresentation or fraud), but shall not be deemed to supplement and amend the Disclosure Schedule for the purpose of determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 has been satisfied.

If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law (excluding disclosure to a Tax Authority, which is governed by the immediately preceding sentence), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 5.07 Non-competition; Non-solicitation

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may (A) own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Seller is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person, (B) continue to operate its retained businesses as such retained businesses have been conducted prior to and on the date of this Agreement, and (C) perform any services for Buyer or its Affiliates, including such services as are contemplated under the Transition Services Agreement.

(b) For a period of 18 months commencing on the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its controlled Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee of the Company or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or

hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.07(b) shall prevent Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Company or Buyer or (ii) after 180 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(c) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its controlled Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of the Company or potential clients or customers of the Company for purposes of diverting their business or services from the Company.

(d) Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.07 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(e) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.07 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.07 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.07 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.07 shall restrict Seller or any of its Affiliates from taking commercially reasonable steps to carry out its rights and obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.08 Governmental Approvals and Consents

(a) Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, (i) make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions (including those under the HSR Act and the LFCE) required under any Law applicable to such party or any of its Affiliates; and (ii) use reasonable best efforts (excluding any payment of money or divestiture of assets) to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary, in each case, for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction

Documents. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall not wilfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

(b) Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all consents from, all third parties that are described in Section 3.05 of the Disclosure Schedules.

(ii) avoid the imposition of any order or the taking of any action that would restrain, alter or enjoin the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document; and

(iii) in the event any Governmental Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document has been issued, to have such Governmental Order vacated or lifted.

(d) If any consent, approval or authorization necessary to preserve the rights or benefits under any Contract listed on Section 5.08(d) of the Disclosure Schedules is not obtained prior to the Closing, Seller shall, subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with Buyer and the Company in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable. If such consent, approval or authorization cannot be obtained, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Company with the rights and benefits of such Contract for the term thereof, and, if Seller provides such rights and benefits, the Company shall assume all obligations and burdens thereunder.

(e) All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any Tax Returns, any interactions between Seller or the Company with Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each party shall give notice to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.08 shall require, or be construed to require, Buyer or any of its Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or interests of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to Buyer of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(i) retain the books and records (including personnel files) of the Company relating to periods prior to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practices of the Company; and

(ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Seller reasonable access (including the right to make, at Seller’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records;

provided, however, that any books and records related to Tax matters shall be retained pursuant to the periods set forth in Article VI.

(ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Buyer or the Company reasonable access (including the right to make, at Buyer’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records;

provided, however, that any books and records related to Tax matters shall be retained pursuant to the periods set forth in Article VI.

(c) Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 5.09 where such access would violate any Law.

Section 5.10 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer and assign all of its rights and obligations under the Ahmad Employment Agreement to A&G. Seller shall pay, when due, to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ all benefits to which he is entitled under the deferred compensation plan in which he participates, in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and will indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any claim ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ may have with respect to any such plan.

Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume all Liabilities arising from the employment of any former or current employee of the Company, including those relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any workers’ compensation claim by such employee that results from an accident, incident or event occurring, or from an occupational disease which becomes manifest, before, on or after the Closing Date. If Buyer is unable to assume any such Liability (or any portion thereof) or the administration of any such claim because of the operation of applicable Law or for any other reason, Seller shall retain such Liability and Buyer shall reimburse and otherwise fully indemnify Seller for such Liability, including the costs of administering the plans, programs or arrangements under which any such Liabilities have accrued or otherwise arisen.

Section 5.12 Joinder Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Joinder Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing Date. Buyer agrees not to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, take any action or omit to take any action, as the case may be, that has the effect of triggering any obligation of Seller under the Joinder Agreement. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates takes any action or omits to take any action, as the case may be, that gives rise to any Liability of the Seller pursuant to the terms of the Joinder Agreement, then Buyer shall reimburse and otherwise fully indemnify Seller for such Liability.

Section 5.13 Closing Conditions.

Article VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.01 Tax Covenants.

(a) All transfer (including real property transfer or gains), documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recordation, value added and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) that may be imposed on or assessed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 100% by Buyer; provided, however, that in the event that any value added or other similar Taxes are due and payable as a result of the transfer of any of the Retained Assets by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to Seller or any of its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date, such Taxes shall be borne 100% by Seller. The parties shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns for Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation. Expenses incurred in connection with filing all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes shall be borne 100% by Buyer.

(b) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Seller to Buyer (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Seller, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Buyer objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Seller in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Seller of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller (the “Accounting Referee”) and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within twenty days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Seller and

then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Buyer; provided, however, that, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall prepare on Buyer’s behalf any Tax Return of the Company that relates to the period of time from the Closing Date through the date on which the Transition Services Agreement terminates pursuant to the terms set forth therein. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have no responsibility for preparing or filing any Tax Return of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or any Tax Return of an Affiliated Group of which Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) is a member.

(c) Following the Closing, Buyer will not, unless required under applicable Tax Law, (i) file (or cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to file) an amended Tax Return with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a Tax period beginning before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Seller or (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 6.02 Tax Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify the Company, Buyer, and each Buyer Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Tax Representations; (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation by Seller of, or failure of Seller to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI; (c) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (d) all income or franchise Taxes of any member of an Affiliated Group (other than an Affiliated Group that includes Buyer or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries)) of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date that are imposed on the Company or its Subsidiaries under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law (but excluding any such liability for such Taxes to the extent directly or indirectly attributable to membership in any Affiliated Group for any period (or any portion of a period) beginning after the Closing Date); and (e) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company and/or its Subsidiaries arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, if the liability for such Taxes relates to an event or transaction both occurring before the Closing Date and effected or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date, in each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith; provided, however, that Seller shall not be responsible for, and shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold Company, Buyer, or any Buyer Indemnitee harmless from and against (1) Taxes resulting from (A) any transactions occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business or (B) any breach by Buyer of Section 6.01(c), or (2) Taxes, to the extent such Taxes are treated as a liability in the calculation of Closing Working Capital. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 6.02 within ten (10) Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Company, which reimbursements, in the aggregate, shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

Section 6.03 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(a) in the case of Taxes based upon, or related to, income or receipts, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

Section 6.04 Election.

(a) Election.

(i) Buyer and Seller agree (1) to make an Asset Sale Election with respect to the purchase and sale of the Units of the Company hereunder and (2) that, solely with respect to the deemed purchase (as applicable for Tax purposes) of the Equity Securities of the Mexican Subsidiaries, Buyer is permitted to make an election, if available under applicable Tax Law, under Section 338(g) of the Code (together with any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign Law), provided that such election under Section 338(g) of the Code (together with any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign Law) must be made within one year after the Closing Date and Buyer must notify Seller in writing within five Business Days of making such elections.

(ii) At any time prior to the two year anniversary following the Closing Date, Seller may, by written notice to Buyer (the “Additional Tax Gross-Up Notice”), demand payment for any additional amount necessary to cause Seller’s after-Tax net proceeds (after taking into account any Tax with respect to payments made under this Section 6.04(a)(ii) and any liability under Section 6.04(a)(iii) (which for this purpose shall be treated as a Tax)) from the sale of the Units and Acquired Assets to be equal to the after-Tax net proceeds that Seller would have received had the Asset Sale Election and any election under Section 338(g) of the Code (together with any corresponding elections under state, local, and/or foreign Law) not been made, taking into account all appropriate federal, state, local and foreign Tax implications (such additional amount, the “Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount”); provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable for any such Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount to the extent Seller’s additional Tax liability relates to the failure of any of the representations set forth in Section 3.22 to be true and correct in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Additional Tax Gross-Up Notice shall include an itemized calculation in reasonable

detail of the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount along with appropriate supporting documentation and work papers used in the preparation thereof, but may exclude any information that is not directly related to the calculation of the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount. Buyer shall have 30 calendar days following receipt of the Additional Tax Gross-Up Notice during which to review the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount, together with the supporting documentation, work papers and any other information Buyer may reasonably request, and to notify Seller in writing of any dispute of the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, if any, and the basis for such dispute. If Buyer does not provide written notice to Seller within such 30-day period disputing Seller’s calculation of the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount, then Seller’s calculation of such amount shall be deemed final. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount within 45 days following the delivery by Seller of an Additional Tax Gross-Up Notice, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountants. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne by Buyer unless the change in the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount is in favor of Buyer by an amount greater than ten percent (10%) of the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount as set forth in the Additional Tax Gross-Up Notice, in which case Seller shall bear all fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants. Within five Business Days after the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount is finally determined under this Section 6.04(a)(ii), Buyer shall pay such amount to the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Buyer has not made any election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any corresponding elections under state, local, and/or foreign Law) other than as permitted in this Section 6.04(a), Buyer’s obligation under this Section 6.04(a)(ii) shall not exceed $350,000.

(iii) Subject to Section 6.04(a)(ii), Seller shall be liable for (and shall indemnify Buyer and the Company against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay) any Tax (other than Transfer Taxes, if any) directly attributable to the deemed sales resulting from making the Asset Sale Election and any election permitted to be made under Section 338(g) of the Code (together with any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign Law) pursuant to Section 6.04(a)(i). To the extent any indemnification obligation under this Section 6.04(a)(iii) is determined after the final determination of the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount, Seller’s indemnification obligation shall be reduced by the amount by which the Additional Tax Gross-Up Amount would have been increased if such indemnification obligation had been taken into account under Section 6.04(a)(ii).

(iv) Except as provided in Section 6.04(a)(i), Buyer agrees not to make any election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or under any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law).

(b) Allocation of Purchase Price. In connection with the Asset Sale Election and any elections made under Section 338(g) of the Code (together with any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign Law) pursuant to Section 6.04(a)(i), Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Liabilities of the Company and the applicable Subsidiaries (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company, the assets of applicable Subsidiaries, and the Acquired Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Seller and delivered to Buyer within 60 days following the Closing Date for its approval. If Buyer notifies Seller in writing that Buyer objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 30 days following the Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Buyer, the Company and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, except to the extent otherwise required by a determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code). Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.04 herein shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

Section 6.05 Contests. Buyer agrees to give written notice to Seller of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Buyer pursuant to this Article VI (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification hereunder. Seller shall be entitled (at its own expense) to participate and, at its option, take control of the defense of any pending or threatened Tax Claim, in whole or in part (including any resulting litigation), and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. If Seller elects to assume the defense of a Tax Claim, Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of all material developments relating to such Tax Claim, and shall allow Buyer sufficient notice and opportunity to participate in the Tax Claim to the extent of any claims for Taxes for which Buyer (or the Company or any Subsidiary) may be liable. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall settle or compromise (or cause to be settled or compromised) a matter involving a claim for Taxes for which the other party may be liable under this Agreement without the prior written consent of such other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld.

Section 6.06 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VI or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Seller and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of

such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Seller or Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.06 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not be required to furnish to Buyer any Tax Returns (or information related thereto) of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), including any Tax Return of an Affiliated Group of which Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) is a member.

Section 6.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 6.08 Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Tax Representations and this Article VI shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

Section 6.09 Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article VIII may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article VI, the provisions of this Article VI shall govern.

Section 6.10 Tax Refunds. If Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives a Tax refund arising with respect to Tax periods of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries ending on or before to the Closing Date, within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of such Tax refund, Buyer shall pay the amount of such Tax refund to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.10 shall require that the Buyer make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of the Buyer and the Company) that is with respect to (i) any refund of Tax that is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred in a Post-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period beginning on or before the Closing Date); (ii) any refund of Tax resulting from the payments of Taxes made on or after Closing Date to the extent Seller has not indemnified the Buyer or the Company for such Taxes; or (iii) any refund for Tax that gives rise to a payment obligation by the Company to any Person under applicable Law or pursuant to a provision of a contract or other agreement entered (or assumed) by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 8.03 Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify and defend each of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date); or

(b) any breach or non-fulfilment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (other than Article VI, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach thereof shall be pursuant to Article VI).

Section 8.04 Certain Limitations.

(a) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.19, 3.20 and 3.24 (the “Buyer Basket Exclusions”)), until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Buyer Basket Exclusions) exceeds $760,000.00, at which point Seller will indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees for all Losses in excess of $760,000.00.

(b) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.03(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Sections 4.01 and 4.05, or with respect to a claim for indemnification arising under Section 5.11 (the “Seller Basket Exclusions”)) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.03(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Seller Basket Exclusions) exceeds $760,000.00, at which point Buyer will indemnify the Seller Indemnitees for all Losses in excess of $760,000.00.

(c) The maximum amount of losses for which either party is obligated to indemnify the other pursuant to this Article VIII shall be $7,600,000.00 (the “Indemnity Cap”); provided that the Indemnity Cap shall not apply to Losses incurred by Buyer as a result of a breach of Sections 3.01, 3.12, 3.19, 3.22 and Article VI or to Losses incurred by Seller as a result of a breach of Sections 4.01 or 4.03, which Losses shall not exceed the Purchase Price in the aggregate.

(d) For purposes of this Article VIII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

(e) The amount of any Losses under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 for which Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as the case may be (such indemnifying party, the “Indemnitor” and such Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as the case may be, the “Indemnitee”), shall be reduced by (i) any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnitee on or prior to the date of the claim that result from or arise out of such Losses, net of any corresponding Tax costs incurred by such party and (ii) any amounts recovered by the Indemnitee under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to have responsibility. Each Indemnitor shall pursue in good faith all claims available under such third-party insurance coverage and from any Person alleged to have responsibility. If the Indemnitee receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses (which were not earlier taken into account in calculating Losses), subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnitor, then the Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitor for any payment made or out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount actually received by the Indemnitee.

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 15 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an 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 the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than

reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 15 calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably

requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

(e) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the Tax Representations or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI) shall be governed exclusively by Article VI hereof.

Section 8.06 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding/and including] the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Buyer’s senior debt. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.

Section 8.09 Mitigation of Damages. Each Indemnified Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate Losses in respect of any claim for which such Indemnified Party is seeking or may seek indemnification under this Article VIII and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof (including making good faith efforts to recover any Losses from insurers of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under applicable insurance policies); provided, however, any reasonable third-party costs or expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party for which it the prevailing party (determined as contemplated above) in connection therewith shall be Losses for purposes of this Article VIII. No Indemnified Party shall be required to procure or maintain any particular insurance coverage or take any action or pursue or obtain any recovery prior to seeking recovery for any Losses from any other party in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Other Recoveries. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Loss under this Article VIII to the extent such Indemnified Party has recovered, reduced or setoff, or with respect to clause (i) of this Section 8.10 has the ability to receive the benefit of, such Loss from a third party based upon the same claim giving rise to such Damage under this Article VIII, including (i) amounts actually recovered, reduced or setoff pursuant to indemnification under any Contract or (ii) amounts actually recovered, reduced or setoff pursuant to any insurance policies held by or for the benefit of such Indemnified Party (including, for these purposes, any rights of the Company under any Contract or insurance policy to which it is a party or by which it receives benefits) (but no Indemnified Party shall be required to procure or maintain any particular insurance coverage) and the amount of any Loss shall be reduced by any amount actually received by such Indemnified Party with respect to such damages under any such insurance coverage; provided, however, that such recovery, reduction or setoff shall (A) be net of any reasonable third-party costs or expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in obtaining such recovery, reduction or setoff, (B) not include any loans, contributions or payments from any Affiliate of such Indemnified Party to such Indemnifying Party (to the extent such Affiliate has not sought or is not seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party for such Damage) and (C) not include any amounts which are self-insured (whether through retention or otherwise). If such a recovery, reduction or setoff is actually received or enjoyed by an Indemnified Party after it receives payment under this Agreement with respect to any Loss from an Indemnifying Party, then a refund equal in aggregate amount of such recovery, reduction or setoff (net of reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery, reduction or setoff) will be made promptly to such Indemnifying Party, but only to the extent of the payment made by such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party, with respect to such Loss.

Section 8.11 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Sections 5.07, 10.10 and 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or wilful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Person’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

Section 10.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 5.07(e), upon such

determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (a) provided, however, that prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, without the prior written consent of Seller, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries; and (b) except that Buyer may assign any of its rights or interests hereunder or under the Transition Services Agreement or any of the other related agreements or documents to a Financing Source or any agent for any of them and their respective successors and assigns as security for amounts owing to them. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.08 No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 6.02 and Article VIII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except that the Financing Sources shall be express third-party beneficiaries of Sections 5.02(a) - (d), 9.02(b), 10.06, 10.07(b), 10.09 and 10.10(f).

Section 10.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The provisions of this Agreement for which the Financing Sources are third party beneficiaries as set forth in Section 10.08 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Financing Sources unless the affected Financing Sources shall have consented in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, to such termination or modification.

Section 10.10 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 10.10(f), this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 10.10(f), the sole and exclusive method for resolving any claim or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or relating to the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement (other than with respect to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(c) relating to and Disputed Amounts), whether such Claim arose or the facts on which such Claim is based occurred prior to or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be mediation and arbitration as provided in this Section 10.10.

(c) Either party may give notice of a Claim in writing to the other party and the parties shall designate a mutually agreed mediator to resolve the Claim. If the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, they shall submit the Claim to JAMS, Inc. in Wilmington, Delaware, and request a panel of prospective neutrals to conduct a mediation process, who shall be individuals with substantial experience with equity purchase agreements and complex commercial contracts as well as familiarity with Delaware law relevant to transactions of this type. The mediation shall be convened within thirty (30) days of the notice of the Claim, or as soon thereafter as is feasible. If the mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the Claim, either party may give notice of its intention to arbitrate the Claim in accordance with Section 10.10(d).

(d) Any arbitration to resolve a Claim shall be administered by JAMS, Inc. in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) before one arbitrator to be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules to conduct any such arbitration. The arbitrator shall have substantial experience with equity purchase agreements and complex commercial contracts as well as familiarity with Delaware law relevant to transactions of this type. All meetings of the parties and all hearings with respect to any such arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, or such other place as the parties may designate. Each party to the arbitration shall bear its own costs and expenses (including all attorneys’ fees and expenses, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law), and all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (such as filing fees, the arbitrator’s fees, hearing expenses, etc.) shall be borne equally by the parties; provided, however, that the arbitrator may, in the arbitrator’s discretion, award costs and expenses to the prevailing party in the arbitration.

(e) In the event that any party or any of such party’s Affiliates, associates or representatives is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any information concerning an arbitration or mediation proceeding conducted in accordance with this Agreement (the “Disclosing Party”), such Disclosing Party shall notify the other parties promptly of the request or requirement so that any such other party may seek an

appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.10. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates, associates or representatives believes in good faith, upon the advice of legal counsel, that it is compelled to disclose any such information, such Disclosing Party may disclose such portion of the information as it believes in good faith, upon the advice of legal counsel, it is required to disclose; provided that the Disclosing Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request and expense of such other party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Arbitration Information required to be disclosed as such other party shall designate. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.10 to the contrary, the parties shall have no obligation to keep confidential any Arbitration Information that becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of the disclosing party’s acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of such party’s Affiliates, associates or representatives. The parties agree that, subject to the right of any party to appeal or move to vacate or confirm any decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of an arbitration as provided in this Section 10.10, the decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of any arbitration under the Arbitration Rules shall be final, conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto and any party may institute litigation to enforce any final decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of the arbitration.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any Action of any kind or description, whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise, against a Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof) sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably waives any and all rights to a trial by jury in respect of any claim, controversy or dispute (whether based in contract, tort or otherwise) against a Financing Source.

Section 10.11 Seller Remedies.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer as a result of the unavailability of the Financing by June 30, 2016 for any reason other than due to the action or inaction of Seller, Hong hereby agrees to pay to Seller a sum equal to $500,000, which shall be Seller’s sole right and remedy with respect to a termination of the Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.11(a).

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Seller as a result of any breach of this Agreement by Buyer other than as set forth in Section 10.11(a), then Seller shall have the right to pursue any and all rights and remedies available to Seller pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable Law.

Section 10.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the

same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
