The Initial Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.05(b) and 2.06(a) shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date Purchase Price”; and the Closing Date Purchase Price as further adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”.

(i) increased by the amount by which the sum of (A) the Cash on Hand on the Initial Drop Dead Date and (B) the aggregate cash advances or contributions made by Seller and its Affiliates to or for the benefit of the Business during the period commencing on the Initial Drop Dead Date and ending as of 12:01 a.m. PT on the Closing Date (irrespective of whether made in the form of debt or equity) exceeds the Cash on Hand as of 12:01 a.m. PT on the Closing Date; or

(ii) decreased by the amount by which the Cash on Hand as of 12:01 a.m. PT on the Closing Date exceeds the sum of (A) the Cash on Hand on the Initial Drop Dead Date and (B) the aggregate cash advances or contributions made by Seller and its Affiliates to or for the benefit of the Business during the period commencing on the Initial Drop Dead Date and ending as of 12:01 a.m. PT on the Closing Date (irrespective of whether made in the form of debt or equity).

(c) The Closing Date Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller to Buyer no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of clarification, Seller shall retain for its own account all Cash on Hand as of Closing (the “Closing Cash on Hand”), and shall be entitled to transfer the Closing Cash on Hand from the Business Bank Accounts to one or more account(s) designated by it at any time on or after the Closing.

Section 2.06 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet (prepared in accordance with GAAP (other than as provided in Appendix II) consistently

applied in accordance with the Statement of Accounting Principles) for the Business as of 12:01 a.m. PT on the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) and Seller’s calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital. If the Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Initial Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of the Closing Adjustment. If the Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Initial Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Closing Adjustment.

(b) (i) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall contain the balance sheet (prepared in accordance with GAAP (other than as provided in Appendix II) consistently applied in accordance with the Statement of Accounting Principles) for the Business as of 12:01 a.m. PT on the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”). If the Drop Dead Date is extended beyond the Initial Drop Dead Date, then the Estimated Closing Working Capital and Closing Working Capital shall be calculated under this Section 2.06 as if the Closing Date occurred on the Initial Drop Date.

(i) After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Seller shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. From and after the Closing until the expiration of the Review Period, Seller and Seller’s Representatives shall have full access to Buyer’s books and records, employees, and work papers prepared by Buyer and/or Buyer’s Representatives to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement, provided, that such access shall be permitted upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer.

(ii) (A) On or prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Seller may deliver to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections to the Closing Working Capital Statement (an “Objection Statement”). After delivery of an Objection Statement, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections and if they are unable to reach an agreement within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Objection Statement, then any amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, and not as an arbitrator, and shall decide only the specific items under dispute by the Parties, which decision shall be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Objection Statement, respectively.

(A) The Independent Accountant shall be directed to issue a final and binding decision within thirty (30) days after submission of the Objection Statement to the Independent Accountant and such decision shall be final and binding on the Parties. If Seller does not deliver an Objection Statement to Buyer on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(B) The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Independent Accountant.

(iii) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital as agreed or determined pursuant to this Section 2.06 minus the Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.

(iv) Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall (A) be due (x) within ten (10) Business Days after the earlier of the acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement by Buyer or, if no Objection Statement is delivered, the expiration of the Review Period, or (y) if an Objection Statement was delivered, then within ten (10) Business Days after the resolution described in clause (ii) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be.

(v) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.07 Allocation of Purchase Price. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (including any Assumed Liabilities treated as consideration for the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes) (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable and prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller. In the event of any such objection, 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 forty-five (45) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of such Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Seller and Buyer agree (a) to file their respective IRS Form 8594 and all federal, state and local Tax Returns in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, (b) not to take any position inconsistent therewith or make any inconsistent adjustment on any Tax Return, (c) to provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete IRS Form 8594, and (d) to promptly notify the other if any Governmental Authority proposes to reallocate the Purchase Price or Assumed Liabilities in a manner inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule.

Section 2.08 Non-assignable Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.08, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Purchased Asset would result in a violation of applicable Law, or would require the Consent of a

Person who is neither a party to this Agreement nor an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority), and such Consent shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, thereof; provided, however, that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Article VII, the Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof. Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required Consent or any release, substitution or amendment required to novate all liabilities and obligations under any and all Assigned Contracts or other liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Buyer shall be solely responsible for such liabilities and obligations from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor. Once such Consent, release, substitution or amendment is obtained, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Purchased Asset to which such Consent, release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration. Applicable sales, transfer and other similar Taxes in connection with such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or license shall be paid by Buyer in accordance with Section 6.11.

(b) Until such Consents, releases, substitutions or amendments are obtained, or to the extent that any Purchased Asset and/or Assumed Liability cannot be transferred to Buyer following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.08, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting), to the extent permitted by applicable Law, intended to both (i) provide Buyer with the economic and operational benefit of any such Purchased Assets and (ii) cause Buyer to perform and discharge fully the liabilities and obligations of Seller with respect to such Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities from and after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Seller shall hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, such Purchased Asset and all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller to the extent related to such Purchased Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.08. To the extent and for so long as Buyer obtains the benefit of any Purchased Asset pursuant to this Section 2.08(b), Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all Losses incurred by or asserted against Seller as a result of Seller’s direct or indirect ownership, management or operation of any such Purchased Asset. Seller shall be permitted to set off against such amounts all direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.08 shall not apply to any Consent required under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law, which Consent shall be governed by Section 6.07.

(c) From the Closing Date until the date on which a Purchased Asset that is not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to Buyer at Closing is transferred to Buyer, in each case, in accordance with this Section 2.08:

(i) Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority relating to such Purchased Asset, including, without limitation, any notices of default, cure notices or negative performance ratings;

(ii) Buyer shall promptly provide Seller a copy of any notice or other communication referenced in clause (i) above;

(iii) each Party, promptly after the receipt of any notice of default, cure notice or negative performance rating relating to such Purchased Asset, shall (A) consult and cooperate with the other Party, in all reasonable respects, in connection with (1) any communication and/or negotiations with the relevant Governmental Authority regarding such notice of default, cure notice or negative performance rating and (2) the development and implementation of the plan to remedy the actual or potential breach, default or performance issue relating to such notice of default, cure notice or negative performance rating, (B) make available to the other Party all records relating to such notice of default, cure notice or negative performance rating and (C) furnish, without expense, to the other Party, management employees of the such Party as may be reasonably necessary for any of the foregoing; and

(iv) with respect to the Government Contracts, Seller shall have the right to (A) review all books and records in Buyer’s possession relating to any audit conducted by a Government Authority that recommends a downward adjustment to the contract price, or disallowance of any cost incurred, of such Government Contract, (B) respond to any findings of a Governmental Authority during an audit that recommends a downward adjustment to the contract price, or disallowance of any cost incurred, of such Government Contract, (C) submit a claim to the contracting officer disputing any such downward adjustment to the contract price of such Government Contract, (D) file an appeal under such Government Contract’s disputes clause and under the Contract Disputes Act from any final decision of the contracting officer for such Government Contract relating to a downward adjustment to the contract price thereof and (E) meet with Buyer’s management employees as may be reasonably necessary for any of the foregoing.

Prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld for any reason, Buyer shall not directly or indirectly contact or communicate with any officer, director, employee, supplier, customer, subcontractor, partner, financing source, or other business relation of Seller or its Affiliates (except ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ to the extent permitted by this Section 6.03 or the Confidentiality Agreement) regarding the Transactions, the operations, prospects or finances of the Business or to seek any information in connection therewith from such Person. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, during the period commencing on the Initial Drop Dead Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of this Agreement and (b) 12:01 a.m. PT on the Closing Date (the “Extension

Period”), if applicable, and subject to applicable Law, Seller shall provide Buyer and its Representatives reasonable opportunity to consult with the Business’s management employees regarding operational matters of the Business; provided that (A) Buyer must provide advance written notice to Seller of its desire to meet with such management employees to discuss such operational matters; and (B) Seller shall have an opportunity to have a Representative present at any such meeting. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this Section 6.03.

Section 6.04 Supplement to Disclosure Schedules. At any time prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules in writing with respect to any matter arising or of which Seller becomes aware after the Effective Date (each a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or determining whether the condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) has been satisfied; provided, however, that if Buyer has the right to, but does not elect to, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(b) within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such Schedule Supplement, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matter and to assert that the condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) has not been satisfied as a result of such inaccuracy or breach relating to such matter.

Section 6.05 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to, offer employment effective on the Closing Date, to substantially all of the Employees (but in any event no less than ninety percent (90%) of the Employees as of the Effective Date), including Employees who are absent due to vacation, family leave, short-term disability or other approved leave of absence (the Employees who accept such employment and commence employment on the Closing Date, the “Transferred Employees”).

(b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date which is one (1) year from the Closing (or if earlier, the date of the Transferred Employee’s termination of employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer), Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to, provide each Transferred Employee with a compensation package (including base salary or hourly wages, target bonus opportunities, retirement and welfare benefits and severance benefits) that is substantially the same to the compensation packages provided by Buyer to its employees; provided, however, that such compensation packages will not result in a material reduction to the compensation packages provided to the Transferred Employees by Seller.

(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”) for the benefit of any Transferred Employee, effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, recognize all service of the Transferred Employees with Seller, as if such service were with Buyer, for vesting and eligibility purposes; provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (x) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (y) such service was not recognized under

the corresponding Benefit Plan. With respect to each health or welfare Buyer Benefit Plan, subject only to any required approval of the applicable insurance provider, if any, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under such Buyer Benefit Plan, and (ii) cause each Transferred Employee to be given credit under such Buyer Benefit Plan for all amounts paid by such Transferred Employee under any similar Seller Benefit Plan for the plan year that includes the Closing Date for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Buyer Benefit Plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(d) On or before the Closing Date, Seller will (i) take any necessary action to fully vest as of such date each Transferred Employee’s account balances and other accrued benefits under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇. 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”), (ii) take such actions, if any, as may be necessary to provide for the distribution to each Transferred Employee of his or her vested account balance under the Seller 401(k) Plan, (iii) permit the Transferred Employees to elect on the Closing Date (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable) a direct rollover of his or her account balance under the Seller 401(k) Plan to the extent permitted by applicable Laws to a defined contribution plan designated by Buyer (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”), and (iv) cause the Seller 401(k) Plan to deliver to the Buyer 401(k) Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date the promissory notes and other loan documentation, if any, of the Transferred Employee if he or she has elected such a direct rollover in accordance with the procedures prescribed by Seller (and, if the Transferred Employee makes a timely election in accordance with such procedures, then Seller will not cause the Transferred Employee’s loan, if any, to be accelerated under the Seller 401(k) Plan). The Buyer 401(k) Plan shall accept the direct rollover of electing Transferred Employees’ benefits in cash and, if applicable, promissory notes that are not accelerated from the Seller 401(k) Plan. Seller represents, covenants and agrees with respect to the Seller 401(k) Plan, and Buyer represents, covenants and agrees with respect to the Buyer 401(k) Plan, that, as of each date of a rollover described in this paragraph, such plan will satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a), (k), and (m) of the Code.

(e) Effective as of the Closing, the Transferred Employees shall cease active participation in the Benefit Plans. Seller shall remain liable for all eligible claims for benefits under the Benefit Plans (including the Pension Plans) that are incurred by the Employees prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) life, accidental death and dismemberment, short-term disability, and workers’ compensation insurance benefits, on the event giving rise to such benefits; (ii) medical, vision, dental, and prescription drug benefits, on the date the applicable services, materials or supplies were provided; and (iii) long-term disability benefits, on the eligibility date determined by the long-term disability insurance carrier for the plan in which the applicable Employee participates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the transition period that begins on the Closing Date and ends on the earlier of: (i) the four month anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) the date the Buyer establishes medical, vision and dental insurance plans and Transferred Employees and their eligible spouses and dependents are enrolled under such medical, vision and dental insurance plans (the “Transition Period”), Seller will provide group health plan continuation coverage to the Transferred Employees and will accept payment from Buyer for the applicable premium cost of continuation coverage under Seller’s group health insurance plan.

Seller will provide such continued group health plan coverage during the Transition Period if the Transferred Employees elect continuation of group health plan coverage in accordance with the group health plan continuation coverage provisions of Section 601 et seq. of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code, as applicable, and Buyer makes timely payment of the premium on behalf of Transferred Employees for such coverage in the amount of 102% of the applicable premium (as such term is defined in applicable Treasury Regulations) amounts until the end of the Transition Period. The premium amount will be paid by Buyer as soon as practicable, but not later than 10 days prior to the beginning of each monthly coverage period, except as may otherwise be required by applicable law. Buyer may determine whether or not to collect a portion of the premium from the Transferred Employees corresponding to the portion of the applicable premium paid by such Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, but Buyer will have the sole obligation to collect and remit to Seller the full premium amount on behalf of the Transferred Employees. Seller will have no obligation to collect any share of the premium amount from the Transferred Employees during the Transition Period.

(f) Buyer and Seller intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any Employee who accepts an employment offer by Buyer that is consistent with the requirements of Section 6.05(b), including for purposes of any Benefit Plan that provides for separation, termination or severance benefits (other than the Seller 401(k) Plan and the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Obligations, in which case the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be treated as a separation from service), and that each such Employee will have continuous employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing. Buyer shall be liable and hold Seller harmless for: (i) any statutory, common law, contractual or other severance with respect to any Transferred Employee; and (ii) any claims relating to the employment of any Transferred Employee arising in connection with or following the Closing, including without limitation any claims or liabilities related to failure to comply with the WARN Act or any comparable Law in effect in the State of California or the State of Missouri.

(g) This Section 6.05 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties, and nothing in this Section 6.05, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.05. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 6.05 shall not create any right in any Transferred Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

Section 6.06 Confidentiality. The Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, in addition, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of outside counsel), Buyer covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided pursuant to this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 6.06 shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

Section 6.07 Governmental Approvals and Consents. From the Effective Date through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement:

(a) Each Party shall, as promptly as possible, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all Consents from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary 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. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required Consents. If required by the HSR Act, each Party agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date and, until this Agreement is terminated, to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Each Party will consult with the other in advance of any material meetings or communication (whether in person or otherwise) with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining all such Consents.

(b) 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 interactions between Seller 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.

(c) Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all Consents from, all third parties that are described in Section 4.03 of the Disclosure Schedules and Schedule 5.03; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom Consent is requested.

(d) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any Person in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Governmental Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the consummation of the Closing; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, upon termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall have any further obligation under this Section 6.07(d).

Section 6.08 Books and Records.

(a) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by Seller prior to the Closing, cooperation under Section 6.12(b), or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing, Buyer shall:

(i) retain the Books and Records (including personnel files) relating to periods prior to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practices of Seller; and

(ii) upon reasonable notice, afford Seller’s Representatives reasonable access (including the right to make, at Seller’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such Books and Records.

(b) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made by or against or incurred by Buyer after the Closing, cooperation under Section 6.12(b), or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing, Seller shall:

(i) retain the books and records (including personnel files) in Seller’s possession which relate to the Business and its operations for periods prior to the Closing; and

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

(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 6.08 where such access would violate any Law.

Section 6.09 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no Party shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement, including furnishing to the other drafts of all such press releases or announcements prior to their release.

Section 6.10 Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer.

Section 6.11 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Buyer when due. Buyer shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Seller shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

Section 6.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Apportionment of Ad Valorem and Property Taxes.

(i) All ad valorem taxes, real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar obligations (“Property Taxes”) attributable to the Purchased Assets, including Taxes indirectly payable pursuant to a Lease, with respect to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date between Seller and Buyer determined by prorating such Property Taxes on a daily basis over the entire Tax period.

(ii) Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid, when due, to the appropriate taxing authorities all Property Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets for any Straddle Period. Buyer shall provide Seller with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each Property Tax Return prepared by Buyer that relates to a Straddle Period prior to filing such Property Tax Returns and shall make changes to such Property Tax Returns reasonably requested by Seller. To the extent Seller receives invoices for Property Taxes following the Closing which are payable by Buyer, Seller shall forward such invoices promptly to Buyer. Buyer shall send to Seller a statement that apportions the Property Taxes between Seller and Buyer based upon Property Taxes actually invoiced and paid to the taxing authorities by Buyer for the tax year which includes the Closing Date, with Seller being responsible for the Property Taxes attributable to the period prior to and including the Closing Date. This statement shall be accompanied by proof of Buyer’s actual payment of such Property Taxes for such tax year. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement and proof of payment, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its pro-rated portion of such Property Taxes.

(b) Tax Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the Tax matters relating to the Business, including the preparation or filing of Tax Returns and the defense of any Tax dispute. Such cooperation shall include complying with such Party’s obligations under Section 6.08, granting reasonable access during normal business to such Party’s employees to provide additional information with respect to such Tax matters (including such information necessary for Seller to complete any sales, use or income Tax Returns), and, where appropriate, the execution of powers of attorney.

(c) Tax Returns. In the event that Buyer believes that a change to a Property Tax Return requested by Seller pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.12(a)(ii) is not reasonable or in the event that Buyer and Seller disagree as to an allocation schedule for a Straddle Period prepared pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.12(a)(ii), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreement. If they fail to resolve their disagreement within ten (10) days, the matter shall be referred to the Independent Accountant for its prompt determination, which determination shall be binding upon the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall accept any change to a Property Tax Return requested by Seller unless the Independent Accountant determines that such request was unreasonable. The fees of the Independent Accountant for such determination shall be divided equally between Seller and Buyer. The provisions of this Section 6.12(c) shall not be interpreted as requiring any Property Tax Return to be filed in an untimely manner, but, if the determination agreed by the parties or made by the Independent Accountant is agreed or made subsequent to the filing of the Property Tax Return to which it relates and is inconsistent with the Property Tax Return as filed, an appropriate amended Property Tax Return shall promptly be filed.

Section 6.13 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 6.14 Replacement of Credit Support Obligations. Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any claims or drawings on any Support Obligations set forth on Section 7.03(g) of the Disclosure Schedules after the Closing to the extent that such Support Obligations are not released or returned by the beneficiary thereof prior to the Closing, and shall promptly pay Seller for the actual out-of-pocket costs of and fees incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection therewith. In the event that any Support Obligation maintained by Seller is returned to Buyer, Buyer shall promptly deliver such replaced Support Obligation to Seller.

Section 6.15 Transition Matters. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that on the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates shall cease and permanently discontinue all uses of the “▇▇▇▇” name, any trademarks associated therewith and any derivatives thereof (together, the “▇▇▇▇ Name”) and the “AIRBUS” name, any trademarks associated therewith and any derivatives thereof (together, the “AIRBUS Name”) and complete the removal of the ▇▇▇▇ Name and AIRBUS Name from all assets, properties and materials of or related to the Business, including all products, technical information and promotional materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be permitted to use the ▇▇▇▇ Name: (a) on invoices, products, technical information and other deliverables to the extent specifically required for Buyer to comply with the requirements of any Government Contract that is an Assigned Contract until the novation thereof, and (b) for ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, on finished goods and inventory bearing the ▇▇▇▇ Name existing as of Closing, to the extent that it is impracticable for Buyer to remove the ▇▇▇▇ Name from such finished goods and inventory; provided that Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller based upon, arising from or relating to Buyer’s use of the ▇▇▇▇ Name. Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates, agrees that from and after the Closing Date that Buyer and its Affiliates (a) will not expressly, or by implication, do business as or represent themselves as Seller, or (b) with respect to products or services sold or provided by them after the Closing Date, will not represent that such products or services are those of Seller. Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights in the ▇▇▇▇ Name or the AIRBUS Name and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall contest the ownership or validity of any rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates in or to the ▇▇▇▇ Name or the AIRBUS Name.

Section 6.16 Non-Compete. For a period beginning on the Closing Date until the date which is two (2) years after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any business, whether in corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise, that is engaged in, or otherwise competes with, the semiconductor segment of the Business as conducted on the Closing Date in the United States (the “Seller Competitive

Activities”). Nothing in this Section 6.16, will restrict or prevent Seller from, directly or indirectly, maintaining and/or undertaking passive investments in Persons primarily engaged in the Seller Competitive Activities so long as the aggregate interest represented by such investments does not exceed five percent (5%) of any class of the outstanding equity or debt securities of any such Person.

Section 6.17 Non-Solicit. During the Restricted Period, Seller will not hire or engage or recruit, solicit or otherwise attempt to employ or engage or enter into any business relationship with any of the officers or management employees of the Business as of the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 6.17 prevents Seller from (a) general solicitations that are not directed specifically to these employees or the hiring thereof, or (b) hiring any employee (i) whose employment was terminated by Buyer or its Affiliates or (ii) who contacts Seller on their own initiative.

Section 6.18 Financial Arrangements Applicable During Extension Period.

(a) During the Extension Period, if any, Seller will not make any cash distributions from the Business Bank Accounts to itself or any of its Affiliates other than payments in respect of the costs, goods and services specified in clauses (i)-(v) hereof to the extent Seller and/or any of its Affiliates incurs or pays such costs on behalf of, or provides such goods or services to, the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business:

(i) payment for the purchase of goods or inventory;

(ii) payment for services under agreements that relate specifically to services provided directly to the Business, which agreements (A) if existing as of the Initial Drop Dead Date, are listed in Section 4.06(a) of the Disclosure Schedules or (B) if entered into after the Initial Drop Dead Date, individually provide for annual payments of not more than $250,000 or are cancellable without penalty upon less than 90 days’ notice;

(iii) payment for the Business’s share of outside ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for insurance and custom clearance fees;

(iv) payment of interest (at a rate not to exceed 3% per annum) on the aggregate cash advances made by Seller and its Affiliates to or for the benefit of the Business during the Extension Period; and

(v) payment for other direct costs that are incurred or paid specifically on behalf of the Business and which would have been incurred and paid directly by the Business if the Business were a stand-alone entity; provided that, if requested by Buyer in writing, Seller shall provide evidence to Buyer of any such direct costs.

(b) Without limiting clause (a) hereof, during the Extension Period:

(i) the Business shall not repay to Seller or any of its Affiliates any cash advances made by Seller and its Affiliates to or for the benefit of the Business;

(ii) the Business shall not pay to Seller or any of its Affiliates the unpaid interest, if any, as of the Initial Drop Dead Date on cash advances made by Seller and its Affiliates to or for the benefit of the Business;

(iii) the Business shall not be charged for corporate overhead; and

(iv) all interest accrued in respect of the monies on deposit in the Business Bank Accounts shall accrue for the benefit of, and shall be paid at Closing to, Seller.

Section 6.19 Post-Closing Payments in Respect of Purchased Assets. If Seller receives any payments in respect of the Purchased Assets at any time after the Closing (other than in respect of checks that have been deposited but have not yet cleared (i.e., incoming float)), Seller shall (a) receive such payments in trust for the benefit of Buyer, (b) segregate such funds from Seller’s other funds and (c) deliver such funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer within ten (10) days of receipt thereof.

Section 6.20 Post-Closing Litigation Cooperation. So long as any Party is actively contesting or defending against any action, suit, claim, investigation or other legal proceeding in connection with (a) the Transactions or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Business, the other Party will reasonably cooperate with such Party and such Party’s counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel as is reasonably necessary, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as will be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party or one of its Affiliates is entitled to indemnification therefor under ARTICLE VIII); provided that the obligations of the Parties under this Section 6.20 shall not apply to the extent the matter in question involves a dispute between the Parties.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify Buyer against, and shall hold Buyer harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer 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 Seller contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.06(e)(i)(D));

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in Section 4.06(e)(i)(D) and (ii) for a period of four (4) years after the Closing Date, any downward indirect rate adjustments resulting from a Governmental Authority’s final findings following an incurred cost audit with respect to a Government Contract for work performed 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 Seller against, and shall hold Seller harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller 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;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

Section 8.04 Certain Limitations. 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”. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) No claim for indemnification may be asserted against either Party, neither Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the Indemnified Party, for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein, unless written notice of such claim is received by the Indemnifying Party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.04(d).

(b) Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) exceeds one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event Seller shall be required to pay or be liable for such Losses from the first dollar; provided, however that the Threshold Amount shall not apply with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of or with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section 4.07, or Section 4.15. With respect to any claim as to which Buyer may be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02(a), (i) Seller shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed $100,000, and (ii) no Losses may be claimed by Buyer to the extent such Losses are included in the calculation of any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.06 (in each case, which Losses shall not be counted toward the Threshold Amount).

(c) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.02(a) shall not exceed $8,000,000; provided, however that the limitation set forth in this Section 8.04(c) shall not apply with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of or with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section 4.07, or Section 4.15 or to any claims arising out of fraud. The aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.02(d) shall not exceed $5,000,000 (which amount shall be Buyer’s exclusive source of recovery for indemnification under Section 8.02(d)). In no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of Seller with respect to all Losses under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or the Transactions in the aggregate exceed the Purchase Price.

(d) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(e) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit realized or reasonably expected to be realized as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party.

(f) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to indemnification based on a Third Party Claim.

(g) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

(h) Seller shall not be liable under this Article VIII for any Losses related to any liability that is reflected or reserved for in the Financial Statements or taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of a specific representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement to the extent that any of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ has actual knowledge prior to the Closing that such representation or warranty is untrue or inaccurate, taking into account any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier in such representation and warranty, which knowledge is based on or acquired from, in whole or in part, (i) the materials included in Seller’s electronic data room site maintained by ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on behalf of Seller or (ii) information otherwise actually received by any of Messrs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Price in a writing or via electronic mail.

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party 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 prompt written notice thereof. 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. 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, at its own cost and expense, 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. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, 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 6.06) 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 (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), 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 five (5) Business 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 claim 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 prompt written notice thereof. 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 thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30) day

period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives 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 Indemnified Party’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 thirty (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.

Section 8.06 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 8.07 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims 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 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 this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.11 or to seek any remedy on account of any fraud by any Party hereto.

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 shall not have been satisfied (or waived by Buyer) by the Drop Dead Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(c) by Seller by written notice to Buyer if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.03 shall not have been satisfied (or waived by Seller) by the Drop Dead Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

Section 10.03 Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. 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. 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 therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, 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; provided that Astronics may assign its rights and obligations as “Buyer” hereunder to the Buyer Assignee if and only if Astronics provides prior, written notice of such assignment to Seller. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder. For purposes of clarification, the assignment by Astronics to Buyer Assignee of Astronics’ rights and obligations as “Buyer” hereunder shall not relieve Astronics of any of its obligations as “Buyer” hereunder.

Section 10.08 No Third Party Beneficiaries. 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.

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.

Section 10.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.

(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN NEW YORK CITY, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10(c).
