After the Closing Date, the Buyers shall not, and shall not allow any of the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or otherwise change any Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or for any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that it would not be unreasonable to withhold any such consent if such amendment, modification or change could result in adverse monetary consequences to any of the Sellers).

8.9.4. Tax Refunds. The Sellers shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes relating to the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries resulting from a claim for refund, the filing of a Tax Return or otherwise that is attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or to any portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (“Tax Refunds”). Subject to the escrow requirements below, the applicable Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, any Tax Refunds and the interest actually received thereon to the Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) days from the receipt thereof for further distribution to the Sellers and holders of the US Options in proportion to the amounts they were paid at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4 in respect of their interests in the Acquired Companies. Tax Refunds attributable to Straddle Periods shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 8.9.1(c). Upon the Sellers’ Representatives’ reasonable determination of the availability of a Tax Refund, the Sellers’ Representatives may request that the Buyers, any of the Acquired Companies, their Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof shall file a claim for a Tax Refund or file an amended Tax Return claiming a Tax Refund (with the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such filing being at the expense of the Sellers) and use commercially

reasonable efforts to conduct, at the Sellers' expense, the prosecution of any such claim for a Tax Refund. The Buyers shall as soon as reasonably practicable comply, or shall cause any applicable Acquired Company or Affiliate thereof to promptly comply with a request from the Sellers’ Representatives in accordance with the foregoing. Any Tax Refunds received prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date will be placed in the Escrow Account and treated as additional Escrow Funds, to be dealt with in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and 50% of any Tax Refund received on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, but prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, will be placed into the Escrow Account and treated as additional Escrow Funds, to be be dealt with in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a portion of any Tax Refund relates solely to tax deductions incurred in 2013 (but prior to the Closing) with respect to professional fees paid by the Acquired Companies to their financial advisors and accounting and Tax advisors (as determined on a with and without basis, by calculating the amount of Tax Refund that would have been received but for the Tax deductions attributable solely to such professional fees) (the “Buyer Refund”), the Buyers shall be entitled to the benefit of such Buyer Refund net of the relative portion of any expenses incurred (or payable) by the Sellers with respect to obtaining such Tax Refund (the “Net Buyer Refund”). Within five (5) days from the receipt of any Tax Refund which the Buyers reasonably determine includes a Buyer Refund, the Buyers shall provide the Sellers’ Representatives with a detailed schedule setting forth the calculation of the Net Buyer Refund and the parties shall consult and resolve in good faith any dispute with respect to such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Buyer may not delay the payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.9.4 of any other Tax Refunds or any portion thereof that is not a Buyer Refund pending the resolution of any dispute regarding the amount of the Net Buyer Refund.

8.9.15. [Reserved]

8.9.6. Transfer Taxes. The Buyers, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall jointly pay, in equal amounts, all Transfer Taxes, if any, relating to the Contemplated Transactions (for the avoidance of doubt, not including any financing contemplated by the Buyers in connection with the Contemplated Transactions), except that the Buyers shall not be responsible for Transfer Taxes, if any, arising solely as a result of the repayment of the Intercompany Loans and/or the payment of the Preferred Stock Consideration. Each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avail itself and make available to the other parties any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes, and to cooperate with the other parties in providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions. The Buyers shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all such Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes that are required to be filed by the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date (the “Transfer Tax Returns”). To the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall cooperate with the Buyers in the preparation and filing of such Transfer Tax Returns. Buyers shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representatives any such Transfer Tax Returns for review and comment as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than

twenty-five (25) days prior to the due date (including valid extensions) for filing such Transfer Tax Returns. The Buyers shall, upon reasonable request by the Sellers’ Representatives, provide copies of relevant supporting schedules and other reasonably requested information related to such Transfer Tax Returns. Crane, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representatives, on the other hand, agree to consult and resolve in good faith any dispute with respect to any Transfer Tax Returns prior to the due date for the filing of such Transfer Tax Return.

8.9.7. FIRPTA Certificate. Prior to the Closing, the US Holdco shall deliver to Crane a certificate in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c)(3), certifying that the US Holdco is not and has not been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” (as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code) during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c) of the Code (the “FIRPTA Certificate”).

8.9.8. Allocation of Purchase Price. For federal and all other applicable state, local and foreign income Tax purposes, the parties hereto agree that the purchase price and other consideration received by or treated for applicable Tax purposes as received by the Sellers in consideration for the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated between the Acquired Companies as set forth in Article 2 hereto. No party hereto shall take any position that is inconsistent with such allocation on its Tax Returns except as required by a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an applicable Taxing Authority.

8.9.9. Cooperation and Tax Record Retention. The Buyers and their Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sellers in connection with reasonable requests by the Sellers relating to Tax matters that relate to the Acquired Companies, including in connection with (i) the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Acquired Companies or any Tax Return relating to Transfer Taxes, (ii) Tax Proceedings, (iii) any claim or calculation relating to Tax Refunds, and (iv) the provision of information, records, or other documents relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Closing, the Buyers, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates shall provide the Sellers’ Representatives reasonable access to their relevant books and records and other documents reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representatives, and shall, upon reasonable request, make available (and take reasonable actions necessary to make available) to the Sellers’ Representatives the relevant persons (including, for the avoidance of doubt, relevant employees and/or Tax and accounting professionals) advising them to the extent necessary in order to provide additional information and explanation with respect to such relevant information and/or other items reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representatives in connection with Tax matters that relate to the Acquired Companies. The Buyers shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions thereof) applicable to such taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

8.9.10. Tax Proceedings.

(a) Crane shall promptly notify the Sellers’ Representatives in writing of the commencement or any notice of Tax deficiency, proposed Tax adjustment, Tax assessment, Tax audit, Tax examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other official claim with respect to Taxes relating to the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates that, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time could be grounds for a claim for indemnity pursuant to Section 9.2.1(iii) (a “Tax Proceeding”). The Buyers shall promptly deliver to the Sellers’ Representatives copies of relevant portion of notices and other documents received in connection with such Tax Proceedings.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Tax Proceedings relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Sellers’ Representatives shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof (at the Sellers’ expense) and, if the Sellers’ Representatives so choose, to assume the defense thereof (at the Sellers’ expense) with counsel selected by the Sellers’ Representatives by providing written notice to Crane within thirty (30) days after Crane provides written notice of such Tax Proceeding to the Sellers’ Representatives. If the Sellers’ Representatives assume defense and control of any Tax Proceedings, the Sellers’ Representatives shall keep Crane reasonably informed of the status of such Tax Proceedings and shall not settle such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Crane, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Sellers’ Representatives choose not to control a Tax Proceeding, then Crane, shall control and conduct such Tax Proceeding diligently and shall keep the Sellers’ Representatives reasonably informed of the status of such Tax Proceedings. Crane shall not settle such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the applicable Sellers’ Representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Tax Proceedings relating to a Straddle Period, the Sellers’ Representatives shall have the right to jointly control and manage any such Tax Proceedings with counsel selected by the Sellers’ Representatives together with Crane by providing written notice to Crane within thirty (30) days after Crane provides written notice of such Tax Proceeding to the Sellers’ Representatives. In any event, each party shall keep the other party reasonably informed of the status of such Tax Proceedings and no party shall in any event settle such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

8.9.11. Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax allocation, Tax sharing or similar agreements to which any Acquired Company or Subsidiary is a party, on the one hand, and the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than, for purposes of this Section 8.9.11, the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries) is a party, on the other hand, will be terminated as of the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries will not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

8.9.12. Tax Indemnity. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Seller shall be responsible for, and the Buyer Indemnities shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Loss with respect to: (A) any Taxes payable by the Buyers pursuant to Section 8.9.6; (B) Taxes of or allocable to any Tax period commencing on or after the Closing Date and the portion of any Straddle Period commencing after the Closing Date; (C) Taxes taken into account in determining or adjusting the US Net Purchase Price, the Japan Net Purchase Price or otherwise the consideration payable under this Agreement, (D) Taxes resulting from or attributable to a breach by a Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries) of any of their obligations under this Agreement and (E) Taxes attributable to actions taken by the Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies and their respective Subsidiaries) on the Closing Date but after the Closing (except to the extent such actions are expressly provided for in connection with the Closing).

8.10. Nonsolicitation of Employees. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, each Seller will not directly or indirectly, for itself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, call upon any employee who is, at the time the individual is called upon, an employee of any Buyer, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary of any Acquired Company for the purpose or with the intent of soliciting such employee away from or out of the employ of any Buyer, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary of any Acquired Company, or employ or offer employment to any individual who was or is employed by any Buyer, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary of any Acquired Company unless such individual will have ceased to be employed by the Buyers, the Acquired Companies or their respective Subsidiaries for a period of at least six months prior thereto; provided, however, that this Section 8.10 will not (i) be deemed to prohibit any Seller from engaging in general media advertising or solicitation that may be targeted to a particular geographic or technical area but that is not targeted towards employees of any Buyer, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary of any Acquired Company and (ii) apply in connection with the actions of any portfolio company affiliated with any Seller to the extent that employees or agents of such Seller or its direct or indirect owners did not cause such action. Each Seller recognizes and agrees that a breach by it of the covenants set forth in this Section 8.10 could cause irreparable harm to the Buyers, Acquired Companies or their Subsidiaries, that the Buyers’ remedies at law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach, a restraining order or injunction or both may be issued against such Seller, or any other offending party, without the posting of the bond, in addition to any other rights and remedies that are available to the harmed party. If this Section 8.10 is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction in which a Buyer seeks enforcement hereof, this Section 8.10 will be limited to the extent required to permit enforcement under such laws.

8.11. Notification. Until the Closing, the Acquired Companies, the Sellers’ Representatives and the Buyer will give prompt notice to the Buyers (with respect to the Sellers or the Acquired Companies) or the Sellers’ Representatives (with respect to the Buyers) of (a) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event which would reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 7.1 (as applicable), (b) any failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by the Acquired Companies, the Sellers or the Buyers (as applicable) under this Agreement and (c) the failure of any condition precedent to the Buyers’ or Sellers’ (as applicable) obligations under this Agreement.

The Acquired Companies and each Seller agrees that any such negotiations in progress as of the date of this Agreement will be terminated or suspended during such period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing set forth in this Section 8.12 shall limit the Sellers’ or the Acquired Companies’ ability to pursue the transactions described on Schedule 8.2.

8.13. Financial Statements. Until the Closing, on or before the 21^st day of each month, the Acquired Companies will deliver to the Buyers unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries (in the form customarily prepared by senior management of the Acquired Companies in the ordinary course of business) as at and for the monthly period ending on the last day of the preceding month, which will include a balance sheet and statement of income. The Acquired Companies will further deliver to the Buyers (A) (i) the annual audited combined financial statements of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, (ii) the annual audited consolidated financial statements of US Holdco and its Subsidiaries and (iii) the annual audited consolidated financial statements of Japan Holdco and its Subsidiaries, in each case for the period ended December 31, 2012 and (B) (i) quarterly unaudited combined financial statements of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, (ii) quarterly unaudited consolidated financial statements of US Holdco and its Subsidiaries and (iii) quarterly unaudited consolidated financial statements of Japan Holdco and its Subsidiaries, in each case promptly and in any event with three Business Days after the same have been finalized.

At or prior to the Closing, each Seller that holds warrants to purchase Shares will exercise such warrants in the manner contemplated on Schedule 3.3. At or prior to the Closing, the Acquired Companies will take all actions to ensure that, upon payment of the Preferred Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(f), the Preferred Stock ceases to be outstanding. At or prior to the Closing, each Seller will take all actions to ensure that any obligations relating to the Intercompany Loans owed by or owing to US Holdco and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Japan Holdco and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, cease to be outstanding.

8.17. Financing.

8.17.1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Buyers shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) described in the Financing Letter and shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision under the Financing Letter, if such amendment, modification or waiver (A) with respect to the Financing Letter, reduces (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount) or (B) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any other provision of the Financing Letter, in a manner

that would reasonably be expected to (x) delay or prevent or make less likely the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date or (y) adversely impact the ability of the Buyers to enforce their rights against other party to the Financing Letter. The Buyers shall promptly deliver to the Acquired Companies copies of any such amendment, modification or replacement. For purposes of this Section 8.17, references to “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Letters as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 8.17.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyers may amend, supplement, modify or replace the Financing Letter as in effect at the date hereof solely to add or replace lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Financing Letter as of the date of this Agreement.

8.17.2. Each of the Buyers shall use its reasonable best efforts (A) to maintain in effect the Financing Letter, (B) to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing Letter on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contained in the Financing Letter (or on terms not materially less favorable to the Buyers than the terms and conditions (including flex provisions) in the Financing Letter), (C) to satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions to funding in the Financing Letter and such definitive agreements thereto that are within its control and consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, (D) to enforce its rights under the Financing Letter and (E) to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Financing Letter. The Buyers shall keep the Acquired Companies informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyers shall give the Acquired Companies prompt notice (x) of any material breach or default (or any event that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any default or breach) by any party to the Financing Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which any Buyer becomes aware, (y) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from a Financing Source with respect to any (1) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Financing Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Financing Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing, and (z) if at any time for any reason the Buyers believe in good faith that they will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any of the Financing Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within three Business Days of the date the Acquired Companies deliver to the Acquired Companies a written request, the Buyers shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Acquired Companies relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon the occurrence of any circumstance referred to in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the second preceding sentence or if any portion of the Financing otherwise becomes unavailable or the Buyers become aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make any portion of the Financing becoming unavailable, the Buyers shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and

obtain in replacement thereof alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Contemplated Transactions with terms and conditions not materially less favorable to the Buyers (or their Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Letter, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event. The Buyer shall deliver to the Acquired Companies true and complete copies of all Contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Financing. The Buyers acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of the Financing, or any alternative financing, is not a condition to Closing.

8.17.3. The Acquired Companies shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to provide, on a timely basis, all reasonable cooperation requested by the Buyers in connection with the arrangement of Financing, including, (i) promptly providing the lenders and their respective agents with all financial information regarding the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries required to prepare customary bank information memoranda and lender presentations in connection with such Financing; (ii) participating (including by making members of senior management with appropriate seniority and expertise available to participate) in a reasonable number of meetings, due diligence sessions, presentations, drafting sessions and sessions with the rating agencies in connection with the Financing; (iii) reasonably cooperating with the lenders and their respective agents’ due diligence, to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the business of the Acquired Companies and their respective Subsidiaries, including access to documentation reasonably requested by persons in connection with bank financings; (iv) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts for any portion of the Financing, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication effort benefits from any existing banking relationship; and (v) reasonably cooperating with the preparation of bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents, rating agency presentations, road show presentations and written offering materials used to complete the Financing, to the extent information contained therein relates to the business of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries; provided, however, that neither the Acquired Companies nor any of their Subsidiaries shall be responsible for any cost, commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing.

8.17.4. The Buyers shall promptly, upon request by an Acquired Company, reimburse the Acquired Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries contemplated by Section 8.17.3 and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Acquired Companies, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith, except with respect to any information provided by the Acquired Companies or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives expressly for use in connection with the Financing and other than any such losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising as a result of any Fraud by an Acquired Company or its Subsidiaries or Representatives.

8.18. Release.

8.18.1. Each Seller, on such Seller’s own behalf and on behalf of each of such Seller’s Affiliates (collectively with such Seller, the “Releasors”), hereby releases and forever discharges, as of the Closing, each Acquired Company and each of such Acquired Company’s respective Subsidiaries, directors, officers and employees (collectively with the Acquired Companies, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, suits, charges, demands, complaints, causes of action, debts, damages, obligations, promises, judgments, agreements and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever (including claims for damages, costs, expenses, and attorneys’, brokers’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) (“Claims”), whether known or unknown and whether at law or in equity, arising from or related to events, facts, conditions or circumstances existing or arising on or prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any Claims that the undersigned has or may in the future have against the Releasees, and hereby irrevocably agrees to refrain from directly or indirectly asserting any claim or demand or commencing (or causing to be commenced or assisting with) any suit, action or proceeding of any kind, in any court or before any tribunal, against the Releasees based upon any Claim. The release contained in this Section 8.18.1 is effective without regard to the legal nature of the claims raised and without regard to whether any such claims are based upon tort, equity, implied or express contract or otherwise. Each Seller understands that this Section 8.18.1 (subject to the proviso below) includes a full and final release covering all known and unknown, suspected or unsuspected injuries, debts, claims or damages which have arisen or may have arisen from any matters, acts, omissions or dealings actually released in this Section 8.18.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a Seller is an employee of a Releasee, the foregoing release shall not apply to any Claims that such Seller has or may have arising under or in connection with any employment relationship between such Seller and any Releasee, any termination of any such employment relationship by any Releasee, or any salary, bonuses, severance or “change of control” payments, vacation pay, benefits or expense reimbursement and (ii) nothing set forth in the release set forth this Section 8.18.1 shall restrict or in any way affect any Claims of a Releasor under this Agreement and any document or agreement delivered in connection therewith.

8.18.2. For the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the released Claims set forth in Section 8.18.11 (but subject to the last sentence in Section 8.18.1), each Seller acknowledges that the release set forth in Section 8.18.1 is intended to include in its effect claims that the Releasors do not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of execution of this Release, and the release set forth in Section 8.18.1 contemplates the extinguishment of all such claims.

8.19. Amendment to Schedule 3.3. At any time after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative may update Schedule 3.3 to reflect events, matters, items, or facts first occurring or first existing after the date of this Agreement to the extent that, but for such update being made, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.3 would be inaccurate or incorrect as of the Closing as a result of any action taken in compliance with Section 8.2 or Section 11.7.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, even if a Buyer Indemnitee would otherwise be entitled to recover a Loss pursuant to this Agreement, other than with respect to (a) claims in respect of a breach of any Fundamental Representation, (b) claims made pursuant to Section 9.2.1(iii), (c) claims made pursuant to Section 9.2.1(ii) in respect of covenants of a Seller contained in Sections 8.3.2, 8.10 or 8.14, (d) claims first asserted under any provision of this Article 9 on or after April 1, 2014 and (e) claims made pursuant to Section 9.2.1(v), (i) no Buyer Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement unless the aggregate of all Losses relating to a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or any Seller contained in this Agreement would exceed $3,500,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible and (ii) the Sellers shall have no liability under this Agreement for any individual Loss or series of related Losses of less than $100,000 and such individual Losses or series of related Losses shall not be aggregated with unrelated Losses for purposes of clause (i) of this Section 9.2.3.

9.2.4. Any claim by any Buyer Indemnitees will be asserted solely and exclusively against the Escrow Funds pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Funds then remaining will be the Buyer Indemnitees sole and exclusive source of recovery for any amounts owing to Buyer Indemnitees hereunder; provided, that the Escrow Funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement will not be Buyer Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive source of recovery for claims made by the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to (A) Fraud, (B) the Fundamental Representations, (C) any breach of any covenant or agreement of any Seller contained in Sections 8.3.2, 8.10 or 8.14, (D) Section 9.2.1(iii), and (E) Section 9.2.1(i) or Section 9.2.1(ii), in each case in this clause (E) in respect of matters specified in Section 9.2.2. Other than for claims pursuant to (a) Section 9.2.1(iii) and (b) Section 9.2.1(i) or Section 9.2.1(ii), in each case in this clause or (b) in respect of matters specified in Section 9.2.2, any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees will first be effected by a payment made from the funds then held in the Escrow Account (the “Escrow Funds”), in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (and thereafter, to the extent a claim is expressly not

limited to the Escrow Fund pursuant to the proviso in the sentence above from the Sellers directly).

9.2.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, other than claims for Fraud, no claim will be brought or maintained by any party hereto, any Buyer Indemnitee, any Seller Indemitee, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, employee (present or former), direct or indirect owners, or Affiliate of any Acquired Company, or of any Affiliate of any of the above, as applicable (each of whom is deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Section 9.2.5), which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party hereto, and no recourse will be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.

9.2.6. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum liability of any Seller under this Agreement shall be the amount of the proceeds received by such Seller under Section 2.

9.2.7. All payments under this Section 9.2 will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds received by the Sellers pursuant to Article 2.

9.3. Indemnification of the Sellers.

9.3.1. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article 9), Crane will indemnify each Seller, its direct or indirect owners, its and their respective Affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from any Losses suffered or incurred by any such Seller Indemnitee to the extent such Loss directly relates to (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of any Buyer contained in this Agreement or the Buyers Closing Certificate (in each case, assuming that all qualifications contained herein or therein as to materiality, including each qualifying reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect,” the words “material” and “materiality” and all similar phrases and words, were deleted therefrom) and (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of any Buyer contained in this Agreement requiring performance by any Buyer Party or any breach of any covenant or agreement of any Acquired Company contained in this Agreement requiring performance by any Acquired Company after the Closing . All payments under this Section 9.3 will be treated by the parties hereto as an adjustment to the proceeds received by the Sellers pursuant to Article 2.

9.3.2. No Seller shall have any right of indemnification or contribution against any Acquired Company with respect to any breach by the Sellers or the Acquired Companies of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered by or on behalf of any Seller or the Acquired Companies pursuant to this Agreement, whether by virtue of any contractual or statutory right of indemnity or otherwise, and all claims to the contrary are hereby waived and released.

9.4. Expiration of Claims. The ability of any Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee to receive indemnification under Sections 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, will terminate on the applicable survival termination date (as set forth in Section 9.1), unless such Seller Indemnitee or a Buyer Indemnitee, as applicable, will have either (a) suffered or incurred a Loss or, based upon facts or circumstances existing at such time, reasonably expects to suffer or incur a Loss (which, in the case of any claim related to Taxes, must be based on issues actually raised in outstanding Tax Proceedings), in either case prior to the termination date and made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.3, prior to such termination date, as applicable or (b) delivered a notice to the indemnifying party that, as a result of a notice, claim, demand or other communication made by a Person not a party to this Agreement, the Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemitee, as applicable, reasonably expects to suffer or incur Losses, in which case such claim, if then unresolved, will not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in Section 9.1. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all claims by any Buyer Indemnitee other than (i) claims pursuant to Section 9.2.1(v) or Section 9.2.1(vi), (ii) claims specified in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 9.2.4, and (iii) claims asserted on or before March 31, 2014, will immediately terminate and expire on March 31, 2014.

9.5. Inter-Party Claims.

9.5.1. In order for a party hereto to be entitled to seek any indemnification provided for under this Agreement (such party, the “Claiming Party”), such Claiming Party must give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the other party or parties from whom such indemnification is sought (with respect to the Sellers, to the Sellers’ Representatives) (the “Defending Party”) in writing promptly after occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claiming Party’s claim for indemnification, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of such claim and certifying that such claim is being made in good faith; provided that failure to give, or delay in giving, such notification will not, subject to Section 9.4, affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Defending Party will have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay or the indemnification obligations are materially increased as a result of such failure or delay. The Claiming Party will thereupon give the Defending Party (or with respect to the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representatives) reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records and assets of the Claiming Party which evidence or support such claim or the act, omission or occurrence giving rise to such claim and the right, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to interview, with representatives of Crane present, any employee of the Claiming Party materially related thereto at a mutually convenient time.

9.5.2. After delivery of a Claim Notice, the Defending Party will deliver to the Claiming Party a written response in which the Defending Party will either:

(a) agree that the Claiming Party is entitled to receive all of the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice; or

(b) dispute the Claiming Party’s entitlement to indemnification by delivering to the Claiming Party a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, the basis for each such disputed item and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith.

9.5.3. If the Defending Party delivers an Objection Notice to the Claiming Party, or fails to respond to the Objection Notice within 30 days after delivery thereof, then the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with the provisions of Section 11.9.

9.6. Third Party Claims.

9.6.1. In order for a Claiming Party to seek any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person who is not a party hereto or an Affiliate of such party against the Claiming Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Claiming Party must notify the Defending Party (or with respect to the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representatives) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by such Claiming Party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notification on a timely basis will not, subject to Section 9.4, affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Defending Party will have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Claiming Party will deliver to the Defending Party, within 5 business days after the Claiming Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Claiming Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

9.6.2. If a Third Party Claim is made against a Claiming Party, the Defending Party (or with respect to the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representatives) will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses within 30 days after its receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim from the Claiming Party, to assume the defense thereof (subject to a reservation of rights) with counsel selected by the Defending Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party. However, in no event may the Defending Party assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim (A) involving criminal liability or (B) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Claiming Party. Should a Defending Party (or with respect to the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representatives) so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Defending Party will not be liable to the Claiming Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Claiming Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Defending Party (or with respect to the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representatives) assumes such defense, the Claiming Party will have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Defending Party, it being understood, however, that the Defending Party will control such defense. The Defending Party will be liable for

the fees and expenses of one counsel employed by the Claiming Party for any period during which the Defending Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Defending Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, then all the parties hereto will cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including by retaining and (upon the Defending Party’s request) providing to the Defending Party all records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and, if reasonably necessary, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Sellers’ Representatives will have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates will admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representatives (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the Defending Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Defending Party will not agree to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party, which consent the Claiming Party will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, unless (i) the terms of the judgment or proposed compromise or settlement include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Claiming Party by the third party of a full, complete and unconditional release of the Claiming Party (and its Affiliates) from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of law by the Claiming Party (or any of its Affiliates) or (B) any violation of the rights of any Person by the Claiming Party (or any of its Affiliates), and (iii) the sole form of relief is monetary damages which are paid in full by the Defending Party. The Claiming Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim effected without its consent (solely to the extent required pursuant to previous sentence).

9.7. Mitigation. Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith.

9.8. Determination of Loss Amount.

9.8.1. The amount of any and all Losses under this Article 9 will be determined net of (i) the net present value of any Tax benefits actually realizable by any Person seeking indemnification hereunder arising from the deductibility (or amortization or capitalization or other Tax benefit) of any such Losses and (ii) any amounts recovered (net of the costs of recovery) by any Claiming Party or any of such Claiming Party’s Affiliates under or pursuant to any insurance policy, title insurance policy, indemnity, reimbursement arrangement or contract (other than self-insurance or retrospective insurance arrangements) pursuant to which or under which such Claiming Party or such Claiming Party’s Affiliates is a party or has rights.

9.8.2. A Claiming Party shall not be entitled to recover Losses hereunder to the extent such Losses (i) are not the reasonably foreseeable result of any breach by the

Defending Party of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or arise from special circumstances of the Claiming Party that were not communicated prior to the date of this Agreement by the Claiming Party to the Defending Party, or (ii) constitute punitive or exemplary damages; provided, however, that a Claiming Party shall be entitled to recover any such Losses recovered by third parties in connection with a Third Party Claim against the Claiming Party. No Defending Party will be liable hereunder in respect of any claim if such claim would not have arisen but for a post-Closing change in legislation or GAAP or a change in interpretation of applicable Legal Requirements as determined by a court or pursuant to an administration rule-making decision.

9.8.3. No Buyer Indemnitee will be entitled to any indemnification under this Article 9 to the extent such matter (i) was taken into account in determining the Final Working Capital Amount pursuant to Section 2.5, or (ii) was specifically reserved for in the Interim Financial Statements.

9.9. Acknowledgments.

9.9.1. Each Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted, to its satisfaction, an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Acquired Companies and their respective Subsidiaries and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Buyer has relied on the results of its own independent investigation and verification, in addition to the representations and warranties of the Acquired Companies and the Sellers expressly and specifically set forth in Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement. SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES AND THE SELLERS CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES AND THE SELLERS TO THE BUYERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND EACH BUYER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY RELATING TO THE FUTURE OR HISTORICAL FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, ASSETS OR LIABILITIES OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES) ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED BY THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES AND THE SELLERS AND ARE NOT `BEING RELIED UPON BY ANY BUYER OR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES.

9.9.2. Each party hereto understands, acknowledges and agrees that except for instances of Fraud the remedies provided under Section 11.12 and the indemnification provided pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Article 9 will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto against the other parties hereto or any other Person with respect to (i) the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any other matter relating to

the Acquired Companies or their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, the operation of their respective businesses prior to the Closing, or any other transaction or state of facts involving the Acquired Companies or their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and that the parties hereto will have no other remedy or recourse with respect to any of the foregoing other than pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Article 9. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, may not avoid such limitation on liability by (x) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived or (y) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF A RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.

11.4. Severability.

11.7. Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors and permissible assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise transferred by any party hereto (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written agreement of Crane and the Sellers’ Representatives; provided, that (i) any Sellers’ Representative may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate thereof in its capacity as a Sellers’ Representative, and (ii) any Seller may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate thereof who purchases the Shares or Japan Options of such Seller, if, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii), such transferee Affiliate executes a joinder signature page to this Agreement agreeing to be bound hereby as a Seller or Sellers’ Representative (as applicable) to the same extent as such transferor (and upon the execution of such joinder, the transferor shall have no liability hereunder other than any liability resulting from actions taken prior to such transfer); and provided further, that any Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate if such assignee executes a joinder signature page to this Agreement agreeing to be bound hereby as a Buyer to the same extent as such transferor (provided, that no assignment of this Agreement by Crane will relieve Crane of any Liability under this Agreement). Any purported assignment in breach of this Section 11.7 shall be null and void.

11.8. Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon, or in connection herewith or the subject matter hereof will be governed by and construed in accordance with the 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 the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

11.9. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, hereby (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of New York, New York County or the United States District Court located in the State of New York, New York County for the purpose of any and all actions, suits or proceedings arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, (b) waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such action brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (c) agrees not to commence any such action other than before one of the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action to any court other than one of the above-named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may enforce a judgment of one of the above-named courts in any jurisdiction. Each party hereby (x) consents to service of process in any such action in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of New York, (y) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (x) or made pursuant to Section 11.1, will constitute good and valid service of process in any such action and (z) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise) in any such action any claim that service of process made in accordance with clause (x) or clause (y) does not constitute good and valid service of process.

11.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT, HE OR SHE SHALL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 11.10 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

11.11. Reliance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has been informed by each other party that the provisions of Sections 11.9 and 11.10 constitute a material inducement upon which such party is relying and will rely in entering into this Agreement, and each such party agrees that any breach by such party of any of the provisions of Sections 11.9 or 11.10 above would constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

11.12. Specific Enforcement. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or violated. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that, without posting bond or similar undertaking, each of the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court specified in Section 11.9 in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it shall not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

11.13. No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), or shall constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. No waiver of any right or remedy hereunder shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is intended to be effective (or in the case of the Sellers, by the Sellers’ Representatives).

11.14. Negotiation of Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

11.15. Disclosure Schedules. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules will not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment that such information is required to be listed in the Disclosure Schedules or that such items are material. The Disclosure Schedules are arranged in sections corresponding to the sections contained in this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Disclosure Schedules as an exception to a particular covenant, agreement, representation or warranty will not be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other covenants, agreements, representations and warranties unless the relevance of such item to such other covenants, representations, agreements or warranties is reasonably apparent, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate cross-reference thereto.

11.16. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted only for reference as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement, and will not affect in any way the construction, meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.17. Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or pdf signature by any party and such signature will be deemed binding for all purposes hereof without delivery of an original signature being thereafter required.
