(a)Purchase Price.

Buyer shall hold back the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars $50,000.00 (the “TSA Holdback”) from the Purchase Price. In the event that the Parties mutually agree to terminate the Transition Services Agreement on or prior to September 30, 2014, the TSA Holdback shall be retained by Buyer and shall not be paid to Seller pursuant to this Agreement. If the Parties do not mutually agree to terminate the Transition Services Agreement on or prior to September 30, 2014, the TSA Holdback shall be paid by Buyer to Seller, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, on or prior to October 10, 2014.

(b)Allocation.

If Seller notifies Buyer in writing within 30 days after delivery of such Allocation Schedule that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute regarding the preparation of the Allocation Schedule. Any disagreements remaining between Seller and Buyer after such 30-day period shall be resolved by Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP (the “Valuation Expert”) based solely on submissions of the parties, and the Valuation Expert shall choose the allocation of either the Seller or Buyer as the proper allocation, and any determination by the Valuation Expert with respect thereto shall be final and binding on the Parties. All expenses of the Valuation Expert shall be shared equally by the Seller and Buyer. The Parties recognize that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities do not include Buyer’s acquisition expenses and that Buyer will allocate such expenses appropriately. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall take any Tax position inconsistent with such Allocation Schedule, except to the extent otherwise required by law. If the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Allocation Schedule shall be adjusted as appropriate and Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in making any such adjustments.

(xii)the Parties shall execute and deliver to each other a cross-receipt evidencing the transactions referred to above.

1.4.Consents to Assignment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer (or an assignment or transfer of) any asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto or of the issuing Governmental Entity, as the case may be, would constitute a breach thereof or default thereunder, would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of the rights of any such third party, would be ineffective, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) or Buyer thereunder and such consent is not obtained at or prior to the Closing (each such consent, a “Deferred Consent” except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 1.4). With respect to each Deferred Consent, (i) the asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit to which such Deferred Consent relates (a “Deferred Item”) shall be withheld from the sale pursuant to this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price, (ii) from and after the Closing, Seller and Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain such Deferred Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing, and (iii) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects, in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement proposed by Buyer under which (A) Buyer would obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of any third party) the economic claims, rights and benefits, (B) Buyer would assume any related economic burden (including Taxes) with respect to the Deferred Item and (C) at the request of Buyer, Seller will, on behalf of Buyer, enforce its rights under any such Deferred Item provided that Buyer pays all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such enforcement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall have the meaning assigned to it in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Required Consents nor the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act or foreign antitrust or trade regulation laws listed in Schedule 5.1(e) shall constitute a Deferred Consent for purposes of this Section 1.4.

1.5.Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when requested by either Party hereto and at the requesting Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Article II. The disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the corresponding section and/or subsection of this Article II and shall also qualify such other sections and subsections in this Article II to the extent it is reasonably evident that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.

2.1Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware and is duly qualified to conduct business under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of the Acquired Assets makes such qualification necessary, except for any such failures to be so qualified that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) to the extent resulting from any (i) breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Article II of this Agreement or (ii) failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement; or

(b) to the extent resulting from or constituting Excluded Liabilities.

6.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VI, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Seller in respect of, and hold Seller harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Seller:

(a) to the extent resulting from any (i) breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in Article III of this Agreement or (ii) failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement; or

(b) to the extent resulting from or constituting Assumed Liabilities.

6.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Third-Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A person or entity entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party, provided, however, that delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall only relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. At any time following the delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement unless it is determined by a court of applicable jurisdiction that the Indemnifying Party was not required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such claim under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one (1) law firm for all Indemnified Parties. The Party not controlling the defense of a third party indemnity claim may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in

- 24-

connection therewith shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement unless it is determined by a court of applicable jurisdiction that the Indemnifying Party was not required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such claim under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one (1) law firm for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Procedure for Other Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI which is not subject to Section 6.3(a) shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a reasonably detailed description, including the amount (to the extent known), of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI and a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of the applicable Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.14.

6.4 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Agreement and the certificates delivered at Closing pursuant to Sections 5.1(c) and 5.2(c) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 2.7(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) (collectively the “IP Representations”) shall survive the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereunder and continue until the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire, (ii) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 2.6 and Section 2.7(a) (collectively, the “Title Representations”) shall survive the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereunder and continue until the date that is six (6) years after the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire and (iii) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3(a) and of Buyer contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3(a) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby without limitation. “Fundamental Representations” means the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3(a), 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3(a).

(b) None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing only until the expiration of the term of the undertaking set forth in such agreement and covenant.

(c) Neither Party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation or warranty after the termination or expiration thereof, subject to Section 6.4(d) hereof.

- 25-

(d) Any valid claim that is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim shall survive until such claim is finally resolved and satisfied solely for purposes of such claim.

6.5 Limitations.

(a) From and after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VI and the remedies expressly provided in Section 10.13 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims resulting from any breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, in no event shall Buyer, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated under this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the last clause of this Section 6.5(b), but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the following limitations shall apply:

(i) the aggregate liability of Seller for all Damages under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to $8,700,000;

(ii) the aggregate liability of Buyer for all Damages under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to $8,700,000;

(iii) no individual claim or series of related claims for indemnification under this Article VI shall be valid and assertable unless it is (or they are) for an amount in excess of $50,000;

(iv) Seller shall be liable under this Agreement for only that portion of the aggregate Damages hereunder that exceeds $1,305,000; and

(v) Buyer shall be liable under this Agreement for only that portion of the aggregate Damages hereunder that exceeds $1,305,000;

provided, however, that (x) the limitations of Section 6.5(b) shall not apply to the Fundamental Representations, the IP Representations, the Title Representations or to any claim described in Sections 6.1(a)(ii), 6.1(b), 6.2(a)(ii), or 6.2(b), (y) the aggregate liability of Seller for all Damages for a breach of the Title Representations shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price and (z) the aggregate liability of Seller for all Damages for a breach of the IP Representations shall not exceed an amount equal to $21,750,000.

(c) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible or liable for any Damages or other amounts under this Article VI that are consequential, in the nature of lost profits, special or punitive, except with respect to any consequential loss or lost profits that arise directly out of breaches of Sections 9.1(f) and 9.6 or a breach of the IP Representations; provided, however that in the case of a breach of the IP Representations, Buyer shall only be entitled to indemnification for consequential losses or lost profits that are a direct result of Buyer being enjoined from selling a Business Product because such Business Product infringes the intellectual property of a third party. Each Indemnified Party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and

- 26-

remedies available in order to minimize the Damages for which indemnification is provided to such Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.

(d) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be reduced by any related recoveries that the Indemnified Party receives under insurance policies or other related payments received from third parties and the amount of any net Tax benefit realized by such Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) which is attributable to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates. The Parties shall apply a total combined Tax rate of 40% for purposes of calculating the net Tax benefit of an Indemnified Party under this Section 6.5(d). An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all insurance or other third-party claims and Tax benefits to which it may be entitled in connection with any Damages it incurs. If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance or other third-party payment in connection with any claim for Damages for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such insurance or other third-party payment, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this Agreement with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance or other third-party payments received, over (ii) the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Agreement.

(e) In no event shall a Party be liable for any Damages arising from or relating to, directly or indirectly, (i) a breach that is remedied by the breaching Party prior to the non-breaching party suffering Damages or for which the non-breaching Party receives full compensation within a reasonable period of time after the breaching Party receives notice of such breach or (ii) any act, omission or transaction carried out by or at the request, or with the consent of, the non-breaching Party before, on or after the Closing Date.

- 27-

6.6 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the extent permissible under applicable law and rules (including the Code) and U.S. GAAP, all indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(e) Buyer may terminate this Agreement within fifteen (15) days following delivery by Seller to Buyer of an update to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 9.2(b) where (i) such update is of any event or development that occurred after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing and would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the failure to include such update on the date of this Agreement results in a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Article II of this Agreement, without giving effect to any right of Seller to update the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, which breach would cause the condition set forth in Section 5.1(a) not to be satisfied (without giving effect to the exception in Section 5.1(a)(i));

provided, however, that neither Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b) through (d) if the basis for termination results from a material breach by such Party of any of its agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement.

Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for and pay the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the portion of the taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

(f) Confidentiality. Each of Buyer and Seller (each, a “Receiving Party”) shall hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence all Information concerning the other Party furnished to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or the other Party’s Affiliates or representatives at any time prior to Closing or pursuant to this Section 9.1 (in each case, except to the extent that such Information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party (or its Affiliates, consultants or advisors) in violation of the terms of this Section 9.1, (ii) was within the possession of the Receiving Party prior to it being furnished to the Receiving Party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party pursuant hereto, provided that the source of such information was not known by the Receiving Party at the time of receipt to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party or any other party with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party from a source other than the Disclosing Party (or its Affiliates or representatives), provided that such source is not, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge at the time of receipt, bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party or any other party with respect to such information, or (iv) was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party without utilizing any Information or violating any of the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement), and the Receiving Party shall not release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors, unless compelled to disclose such Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law or so as not to violate the rules of any stock exchange; provided, however, that in the case of disclosure compelled by judicial or administrative process, the Receiving Party shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) notify the Disclosing Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.1(f). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party is compelled to disclose any Information by judicial or administration process, such Receiving Party may so disclose the Information; provided, however, that at the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the expense of the Disclosing Party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Information required to be disclosed. From and after the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates not to, either directly or indirectly, disclose, publish or make use of (except to pursue its rights under this Agreement or any of the ancillary agreements), without the prior written consent of Buyer, any knowledge, information or documents of a proprietary or confidential nature with respect to the Business (including information, knowledge or documents relating to the personnel of the Business or the Acquired Assets), except (x) to the extent such knowledge, information or documents shall have become public knowledge other than through improper disclosure by Seller or its Affiliates or (y) as required by law (including by interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigation, demand or other legal process); provided, however, that in the case of disclosure compelled by judicial or administrative process, Seller shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.1(f).

9.2 Disclosure Generally.

(a) Any information furnished in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall qualify and limit Seller’s representations and warranties in the corresponding section and/or subsection of Article II hereof and shall also qualify such other sections and subsections in Article II to the extent it is reasonably evident that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Acquired Assets or the Business Products, has resulted in or would result in a Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the ordinary course of business. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Seller’s knowledge”, “known by Seller” or other words of similar meaning shall mean the actual knowledge on the date hereof of the persons listed on Schedule 9.2(a) after reasonable inquiry and shall not refer to the knowledge of any other person or entity.

(b) Seller shall be entitled to submit to Buyer, from time to time between the date hereof and the Closing Date, written updates to the Disclosure Schedule disclosing any events or developments that occur or any information learned between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Article II shall be construed for all purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 5.1(a) hereof) in accordance with the Disclosure Schedule, as so updated; provided that Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such update to the Disclosure Schedule to the extent provided in Section 7.1(e).

9.3 Covenants Regarding New Buyer Employees. It is the intent of the Parties that all Designated Employees be offered employment by Buyer, as set forth in further detail below in this Section 9.3. For purposes of this Agreement, “New Buyer Employees” shall mean those Designated Employees who accept employment with Buyer or its subsidiaries in connection with the Closing.

(a) Employment Offers to Designated Employees. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall make offers of employment to the Designated Employees. Each offer of employment to a Designated Employee shall provide compensation terms and other benefits (including severance) comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer on the date hereof (“Comparable Terms”). For greater clarity, the base salary to be offered to each such Designated Employee by Buyer shall be the same or higher than the base salary provided to such Designated Employee by Seller on the date hereof.

(b) New Buyer Employees. On the Closing Date, the New Buyer Employees will be considered to have resigned from their employment with Seller, and Buyer shall thereafter, either directly or through one of its Affiliates, employ all such New Buyer Employees, for at least a period of three (3) months following the Closing Date (the “Retention Period”), on the Comparable Terms, except that Buyer may terminate any such New Buyer Employee for violations of law or gross misconduct.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.3(c)(i), all costs, expenses, liabilities and disbursements, if any, incurred in connection with the termination by Seller or any Affiliate thereof of any employment of any Designated Employee in connection with the Closing (including any Designated Employee who does not accept an offer of employment with Buyer) (“Termination Costs”) shall be borne by Buyer, directly or through prompt

- 32-

reimbursement of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller upon presentation of evidence of such costs or disbursements. The estimated Termination Costs for each Designated Employee are set forth in Schedule 9.3(c)(i). Seller shall be responsible for, and shall pay at or prior to the Closing, all accrued but unpaid salary or wages of the New Buyer Employees relating to work performed prior to the Closing. Seller or its Affiliate shall retain responsibility for and shall pay to all departing Designated Employees any unused vacation or paid time off, pro rata or other incentive bonuses for the portion of the bonus period ending on the Closing Date (subject to any discretionary authority it may retain as to eligibility for or calculation of such bonuses), amounts payable under “Success Incentive” letters or other stay-pay and change of control arrangement in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and benefits under Seller’s Employee Benefit Plans (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any severance). For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and/or Seller’s Employee Benefit Plans shall retain responsibility for and shall pay all required disability payments relating to any disability liability with respect to a Designated Employee that arises prior to Closing, including liability arising out of any disability claim asserted prior to Closing.

(ii) All costs and disbursements incurred in connection with the employment, engagement or termination by Buyer of any New Buyer Employee on or after the Closing Date shall be borne solely by Buyer.

(i) Subject to Section 9.3(a), with respect to New Buyer Employees, (i) Buyer will allow such New Buyer Employees and their eligible dependents to participate in the employee benefit plans maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates on terms comparable to those provided by Buyer or its Affiliates to its similarly situated employees, (ii) each such New Buyer Employee will receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting under such plans for years of service with Seller or any ERISA Affiliate prior to the Closing Date, provided that Seller provides the applicable service information at such time and in such format as the administrator of the applicable Buyer plan shall reasonably require, and (iii) Buyer will make commercially reasonable efforts to cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any group pension, health, life, accident or disability plans of Buyer in which such New Buyer Employees and their eligible dependents will participate to be waived and will provide credit for any co-payments and deductibles prior to the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket or similar requirements under any such plans that may apply after the Closing Date, provided that Seller provides the applicable information at such time and in such format as the administrator of the applicable Buyer plan shall reasonably require.

(ii) Buyer shall cause a tax qualified defined contribution retirement plan established or maintained by Buyer (the “Buyer Plan”) to accept eligible rollover distributions (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from New Buyer Employees who participated in Seller’s 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”) with respect to any account balances distributed to them in cash on or after the Closing Date by the 401(k) Plan, subject to any restrictions under applicable law. Direct rollovers of outstanding loans from Seller’s 401(k) Plan to the Buyer Plan shall be permitted, subject to receipt of evidence satisfactory to the plan administrator of the Buyer Plan that Seller’s 401(k) Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the transferred amount meets the requirements for an eligible rollover distribution under Section 402(c) of the Code.

- 33-

(e) Immigration Related Obligations. Subject to Seller’s compliance with immigration laws in all material respects prior to Closing, Buyer shall assume any of Seller’s immigration related obligations and liabilities relating to Designated Employees who are foreign nationals of the country in which they are working, such as (but not limited to), those arising in connection with filings by Seller of Labor Condition Applications, nonimmigrant/immigrant visa petitions, work permit applications or extensions and Applications for Alien Employment (Labor) Certification.

(f) Limitations. Nothing contained in this Section 9.3 shall give any current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith or any Employee Benefit Plan or trustee thereof or any other third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 9.3.

(g) Temporary Employees. Buyer may offer employment to any Temporary Employee, but is not obligated to do so. If Buyer makes such an offer and the Temporary Employee accepts the offer (each such employee, a “Buyer Temporary Employee”), then Buyer shall be responsible for liabilities and obligations relating to the Buyer Temporary Employee which arise from and after the Closing, and Seller shall remain responsible for liabilities and obligations relating to the Buyer Temporary Employee for periods prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall remain responsible for the liabilities and obligations relating to Seller’s employment of any Temporary Employee who does not receive an offer from Buyer or who receives, but declines to accept, such offer.

9.4 Use of Name for Transition Period.

(a) Following the Closing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Buyer shall have no rights to use any trademarks, tradenames, logos or any contraction, abbreviation or simulation of Seller (the “Retained Marks”) and will not hold itself out as having any affiliations with Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retained Marks do not include the Designated Trademarks.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4(a) but subject to Section 9.4(d), Buyer may utilize sales promotional aids, literature and other printed material transferred by Seller to Buyer on the Closing Date and containing the Retained Marks (the “Sales Material”); provided, that no such material may be used by Buyer on or after the Closing Date for any purpose unless, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer provides reasonable notice of the fact that the any such product was formerly a product of Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4(a) but subject to Section 9.4(d), Buyer may continue to use the Retained Marks following the Closing Date on inventories existing on the Closing Date, provided that the products in such inventories are not modified or enhanced in any manner.

(d) Buyer will use its best efforts to discontinue the use of the Retained Marks on such inventory and Sales Material within 180 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, Buyer will be deemed to have used its best efforts where the “copy exact” nature of the product labelling requires a period longer than 180 days to alter the product labels, in which case Buyer shall have such additional time as reasonably required for institution and approval of the necessary product label changes in conformance with the “copy exact” requirements and processes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4(a), Buyer may disclose to its customers and potential customers that it is designing, manufacturing and selling the Business Products as the acquirer of the Business from Seller from and after the Closing Date.

- 34-

(e) The licenses to use the Retained Marks set forth in this Section 9.4 shall not prohibit Seller or any of its subsidiaries from using the Retained Marks (or any similar name or logo) during the term of the respective license or thereafter in any manner.

9.5 Payment of Certain Monies. In the event that Seller (or an Affiliate thereof) inadvertently pays or discharges, after the Closing, any Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall reimburse Seller or such Affiliate for the amount so paid or discharged within thirty (30) days of being presented with written evidence of such payment or discharge. Buyer shall promptly forward to Seller all monies received by Buyer or its Affiliates following the Closing with respect to any Excluded Asset promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after Buyer determines that such amounts are due to Seller hereunder. In the event that Seller (or an Affiliate thereof) receives payment of amounts otherwise due to Buyer (including amounts for Business Product ordered prior to Closing, but shipped in whole or part after Closing), then Seller shall promptly forward to Buyer all monies received by Seller or its Affiliates following the Closing with respect to any such Acquired Asset promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after Seller determines that such amounts are due to Buyer hereunder.

9.6 Covenant Not to Compete. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “Noncompetition Period”), no Noncompetition Party shall design, license, manufacture, market, service, or sell any product that is competitive with the Business Products (“Competitive Activities”); provided, however, that, for greater clarity, the foregoing covenant shall not prohibit, or be interpreted as prohibiting, any Noncompetition Party from:

(a) continuing anywhere in the world in any type of business conducted by any Noncompetition Party on the date hereof (including any extensions or additions to such business), other than the Competitive Activities;

(b) entering into any relationship with a person or entity not owned, managed, operated or controlled by any Noncompetition Party for purposes unrelated to the Competitive Activities;

(c) making equity investments in publicly owned companies which conduct Competitive Activities, provided such investments do not exceed 5% of the outstanding stock of any such publicly owned company;

(d) acquiring any person or entity which conducts Competitive Activities if either:

(i) in the calendar year prior to such acquisition, the consolidated revenues of such person or entity from its Competitive Activities do not constitute more than 25% of the total consolidated revenues of such person or entity; or

(ii) the applicable Noncompetition Party promptly commences and thereafter pursues until the expiration of the Noncompetition Period, the transfer of that portion of the business of such person or entity as constitutes Competitive Activities upon terms and conditions and at a price reasonably determined by the applicable Noncompetition Party.

For purposes of the Agreement, “Noncompetition Party” means Seller and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries of Seller while (but only while) such entity is a direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Seller.

- 35-

9.7 Covenant Not to Solicit. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, no Noncompetition Party shall (a) solicit for employment any of the New Buyer Employees or Buyer Temporary Employees while they remain employed by Buyer (or any of its Affiliates), except for general solicitations of employment not specifically directed at New Buyer Employees or Buyer Temporary Employees or (b) hire any New Buyer Employees or Buyer Temporary Employees, except in each case where the employment of such New Buyer Employees or Buyer Temporary Employees has been terminated by Buyer prior to such hiring.

9.8 Records Delivery. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all of the books and records of the Business necessary to operate the Business as currently conducted (except for (i) such corporate records that are not exclusively related to the Business and as to which Buyer will have separate access under this Article 9 and (ii) personnel files which may not be delivered without the applicable employee’s consent or which delivery is prohibited by applicable law) and to understand the rights and liabilities of the Business as of the Closing, including the Designated Books and Records.

Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement

This amendment (the “Amendment”), dated May 9, 2014 is to the Asset Purchase Agreement by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and MKS Instruments, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Buyer”), dated as March 17, 2014 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement). Buyer and Seller are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that certain of the Acquired Assets are owned by foreign subsidiaries of the Seller, and

WHEREAS, the Parties intend to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement to provide for the transfer and sale of such assets to be directly between the applicable subsidiaries of the Buyer and Seller,

NOW THEROFRE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Amendment and the Asset Purchase Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:


1.	Definitions

(a)”Foreign Assets” mean that portion of the Acquired Assets that is owned directly by the Seller’s foreign subsidiaries, rather than the Seller itself.

(b)“Seller Foreign Sub” means each subsidiary of the Seller that is incorporated or organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States and that owns any Foreign Assets. Each Seller Foreign Sub is listed on Schedule 1 hereto.

(c)“Buyer Foreign Sub” means each subsidiary of the Buyer that is incorporated or organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States and that has been designated by the Buyer to purchase any portion of the Foreign Assets. Each Buyer Foreign Sub is listed on Schedule 1 hereto.

(d)“Foreign Asset Value” means the aggregate value of the Foreign Assets, which shall be book value, or, where book value is not applicable, the fair market value as mutually agreed to by the Parties. For purposes of Section 2(c)(i) below, the Foreign Asset Value shall be converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Section 10.17 of the Asset Purchase Agreement (entitled “Foreign Exchange Conversions”).


2.	Closing

(a) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Seller shall list on Schedule 2 each of the Foreign Assets, identifying the Seller Foreign Sub that owns each such Foreign Asset and the Foreign Asset Value for each such Foreign Asset (as determined in accordance with Section 1(d) above).

(b) On the first business day (local time for the applicable foreign subsidiary) following the Closing, Seller shall cause each of its Seller Foreign Subs to sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver the Foreign Assets owned by it to the respective Buyer Foreign Sub identified on Schedule 1, and Buyer shall cause its Buyer Foreign Subs to purchase and acquire from Seller Foreign Subs all of such Seller Foreign Subs’ right, title and interest in and to such Foreign Assets, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

- 1-

(i) the Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer in accordance with the terms of Section 1.2(a) of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be reduced by the aggregate U.S. dollar amount of the Foreign Asset Value, and

(ii) the Buyer shall cause the Buyer Foreign Subs to pay to the Seller Foreign Subs (in local currency) the respective portion of the Foreign Asset Value ascribable to the Foreign Assets acquired by such Buyer Foreign Sub as set forth on Schedule 2, on the first business day (local time for the applicable foreign subsidiary) following the Closing.

For purposes of clarity, the aggregate Purchase Price amount shall not change, but a portion of the Purchase Price equal to the Foreign Asset Value (as determined in accordance with this Amendment) shall be paid by the Buyer Foreign Subs in lieu of being paid by the Buyer.

(d) The Seller shall cause the Seller Foreign Subs, and the Buyer shall cause the Buyer Foreign Subs, to execute Bills of Sale with respect to the Foreign Assets ascribable to them, in substantially the form attached to the Asset Purchase Agreement, with appropriate adjustments to reflect local legal requirements.


3.	General

(a) This agreement is being entered into solely to provide for the purchase and sale of the Foreign Assets among the Buyer Foreign Subs and the Seller Foreign Subs, rather than Buyer and Seller themselves. This amendment is not intended to increase or decrease the aggregate rights and obligations of the Parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement in any way. Seller hereby guarantees the obligations of the Seller Foreign Subs to the Buyer and the Buyer hereby guarantees the obligations of the Buyer Foreign Subs to the Seller, in each case as such rights exist under the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Asset Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

(b) This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party hereto and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart. This Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail.
