3.2 EXCHANGE RATIO FOR PARENT OPTIONS AND PARENT WARRANTS.
(a) Pursuant to the terms of the P Merger Agreement, prior to the Effective
Time of the P Merger, Parent and Holdco shall take all requisite action so that,
as of the Effective Time of the P Merger, each Parent Option and each Parent
Warrant (and each other right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock), in each
case outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the P Merger, shall
be assumed by Holdco and represent an option or warrant (or other right), as the
case may be, to purchase shares of Holdco Common Stock, as provided below.
Following the Effective Time of the P Merger, each such Parent Option shall
continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions set
forth in the applicable Parent Stock Option Plan pursuant to which such Parent
Option was granted, and each such Parent Warrant (or other such right) shall
continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions, in
each case as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the P Merger,

except that each such Parent Option or Parent Warrant (or other right) shall be

which, in the case of any Parent Option, Parent Warrant or other right, shall
provide for Holdco's assumption of the obligations of Parent under the relevant
Parent Stock Option Plan (and any related agreement pursuant to which options,
warrants or other rights may have been granted). Prior to the Effective Time of
the P Merger, Parent shall make such amendments, if any, to the Parent Stock
Option Plans as shall be necessary to permit such assumption in accordance with
this Section 3.2(b).

the parties that, to the extent that any Parent Option constitutes an "incentive
stock option" (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) immediately prior
to the Effective Time of the P Merger, such Parent Option shall continue to
qualify as an incentive stock option to the maximum extent permitted by Section
422 of the Code, and that the assumption of the Parent Option shall satisfy the
conditions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

3.3 S MERGER. As of the Effective Time of the S Merger, by virtue of

3.3.3 CONVERSION OF COMPANY CAPITAL STOCK. (a) Each share of

nonassessable shares of Holdco Preferred Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio,
payable to the holder thereof, without, in the case of the cash consideration,
interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of
Company Capital Stock to the S Surviving Corporation; PROVIDED that, each holder
of Company Capital Stock shall receive, in lieu of any fractional shares of
Holdco Preferred Stock that such holder would otherwise receive pursuant to this
Section 3.3.3(a), cash equal to the proportionate liquidation value of any such
fractional shares. The aggregate consideration provided to holders of Company
Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 3.3.3(a) shall be referred to as the
"CAPITAL STOCK CONSIDERATION". Subject to the following sentence, payment of
the Capital Stock Consideration shall be by official bank check, or cash by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, on the Closing Date following the
Effective Time of the S Merger, together with delivery of validly issued and
executed certificates for all Holdco Preferred Stock (or, in lieu thereof,
validly issued and executed depositary shares or receipts evidencing ownership
of the underlying Holdco Preferred Stock). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Holdco shall (i) deposit with the Escrow Agent, at
the

Closing and on behalf of and out of the Capital Stock Consideration payable to
each Seller under this Section 3.3.3(a), an amount in cash equal to such

incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, such amount to be set forth in a notice from the Sellers' Representative

cash set forth opposite each such Option Holder's name in the Option
Consideration Notice. The aggregate consideration provided to all Option
Holders pursuant to this Section 3.3.3(b) shall be referred to as the "COMPANY
OPTION CONSIDERATION". Holdco shall loan or contribute to the Company all
amounts necessary to fund such payments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Company shall (i) deposit with the Escrow Agent,
at the Closing and on behalf of any Option Holder party to the General Indemnity
Escrow Agreement and out of the Company Option Consideration payable pursuant to
this Section 3.3.3(b) to each such Option Holder, an amount in cash equal to
each such Option Holder's Individual Escrow Amount, such amount to be held and
disbursed in accordance with the terms of the General Indemnity Escrow Agreement
and (ii) pay to or as directed by the Sellers' Representative, at the Closing
and on behalf of each Option Holder designated by

the Sellers' Representative and out of the Company Option Consideration payable

Option Holder's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate estimated expenses of the
Sellers and the Company incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, such amount to be set forth in a notice from
the Sellers' Representative to the Company given not later than one Business Day
prior to the Closing.

the Effective Time of the P Merger, Holdco shall repurchase each share of Holdco
Common Stock owned by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time of the
P Merger for $1.00 per share, payable to Parent upon surrender by Parent to
Holdco of the certificate representing each such share of Holdco Common Stock.

3.5 WITHHOLDING. Holdco and the Company shall deduct and withhold
from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any
holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Options such amounts as
Holdco and the Company are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the
making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or
foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld
amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid
to the holder of the shares of the Company Common Stock or Company Options in

(i) the Company has not incurred any withdrawal liability under Title IV of
ERISA which has not been satisfied nor, to the knowledge of the Company, would
the Company be subject to any material withdrawal liability if, as of the date

current or former employee of the Company.

following the Closing with respect to non-collectively bargained employees and
the amount of accrued benefits expressed as an

annuity commencing at normal retirement age shall not increase solely as a
result of such termination; PROVIDED that the foregoing is not a representation

with the termination of such a plan including without limitation any
acceleration of vesting with respect to otherwise unvested benefits under the
Company Pension Plan.

(i) It is contemplated that, as soon as practicable following
the Closing, the assets of the Company Pension Plan will, to the extent
necessary, be transferred in cash or kind, as may be mutually agreed between

occupies or uses any Leased Real Property and/or such improvements nor, to the
knowledge of the Sellers, are

there any disputes between any Person and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
with respect to Company Leases, which default or dispute would materially
adversely affect the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to remain in
possession of the property in question or otherwise adversely affect in any
material respect the ability to use such property for its current use. Except

the Effective Time of the S Merger, each of Parent and the Company shall, and
shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, afford the Sellers' Representative
or Parent, as the case may be, and their respective authorized representatives
(including its accountants, financial advisors and

properties, personnel, contracts and other agreements, books and records of
Parent and its Subsidiaries or the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may

or Parent, as the case may be, all information (including financial information)
concerning the business, properties, assets and personnel of Parent and its
Subsidiaries or the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Sellers' Representative
or Parent, respectively, may from time to time reasonably request. Each of

confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and, in
the event of the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Parent or the
Sellers, as applicable, promptly shall return or destroy, or cause to be

the Confidentiality Agreement.

6.4 CONSUMMATION OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS BY CLOSING. Parent and
Holdco shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiaries thereof, to effect the
following transactions (collectively, the "CAPITAL EVENTS"):

6.4.1 EQUITY ISSUANCE. Following the Effective Time of the
P Merger and prior to or concurrently with the Effective Time of the S Merger,
Holdco shall issue equity in the form of common stock or preferred stock (that
is not senior to the Holdco Preferred Stock), that will yield Holdco net
proceeds at least equal to $900,000,000, such proceeds to be used either to
finance the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for general corporate
purposes and/or to repay any outstanding indebtedness of Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries (the "EQUITY ISSUANCE"); PROVIDED, that if Holdco issues such
equity that yields

Holdco net proceeds at least equal to $750,000,000 and Holdco otherwise closes
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, this covenant shall be deemed
satisfied; and PROVIDED, FURTHER that the obligations of Parent and Holdco with
respect to the amount of equity issued pursuant to the Equity Issuance shall be
reduced by the aggregate liquidation value of all Holdco Preferred Stock issued
in connection with the S Merger in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof. If the
Equity Issuance is consummated through an underwritten offering, or private
placement, the managing underwriters or placement agents of such offering or
private placement shall be the Approved Managing Underwriters. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Parent and Holdco shall not be obligated to issue equity if
Holdco is unable to issue common stock at a per share price (before deductions
for underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least the Minimum Equity
Issuance Price (unless such failure results from, or can reasonably be
attributed to, the failure of Holdco or Parent to effect the financing
transactions (other than the Equity Issuance) contemplated by SCHEDULE 6.5);
PROVIDED that Parent and Holdco comply with the remaining provisions of this
Section 6.4.1. If by the 20th day prior to the Initial Termination Date, the
Closing shall not have occurred, Parent shall deliver a certificate to the
Sellers describing the status of the Equity Issuance. In addition, at any time
Parent believes that it will not be able to complete the Equity Issuance at a
price per share of at least the Minimum Equity Issuance Price, it will provide
to the Sellers (i) a certificate to that effect and (ii) a letter from the
Approved Managing Underwriters addressed to each of the Sellers setting forth in
reasonable detail the reasons the Approved Managing Underwriters believe the
Equity Issuance cannot be consummated at a price per share of at least the
Minimum Equity Issuance Price. Any certificate required to be delivered
pursuant to this SECTION 6.4.1 shall be executed by the chief executive officer
and chief financial officer of Parent.

6.4.2 OTHER FINANCINGS. Parent and Holdco shall, or shall cause
the S Surviving Corporation to, at the Effective Time of the S Merger, refinance
the loans incurred under the Chase Agreements and the Interim Loans such that
such loans shall be repaid in full at the Closing. Parent and Holdco shall take
all action necessary to comply with the terms and provisions of the Zero Coupon
Notes Indenture and the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture, including in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.5 CAPITALIZATION OF HOLDCO AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES. Subject to the
ability of Holdco to issue common stock at the Minimum Equity Issuance Price,
after giving effect to the Capital Events and other transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, Holdco and its Subsidiaries shall have a capitalization no less
favorable from the point of view of a creditor of Holdco than as set forth in
SCHEDULE 6.5 hereto.

6.6 REASONABLE EFFORTS; ADDITIONAL ACTIONS.

6.6.1 (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to take,
or cause to be taken, all action, and to do or cause to be done, and to assist

advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the

execute such documents and other papers as may be necessary or reasonably
requested to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) provide
the other party with access to appropriate records in its possession relating to
Tax matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries and make available to the other
party its Employees or external advisors with a view to assisting that other
party in the determination of its Tax liability.

6.6.2 If, at any time after the Effective Time of the S Merger,
the S Surviving Corporation shall determine or be advised that any deeds, bills
of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or
desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the S Surviving
Corporation the right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights,

representation or warranty that is not so qualified becoming untrue or
inaccurate in any material respect (in each case, to the extent any Seller, on
the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, has knowledge of the same) or
(ii) the failure by it or the Company to comply with in any material respect any
covenant or agreement to be complied with by it or the Company under this
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such notification shall affect the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the
conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

real property transfer taxes, stock transfer taxes and any similar taxes imposed
by any city or state of the United States (and any penalties and interest with
respect to such Taxes), to the extent any such taxes become payable in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of
the holders of Company Capital Stock or Company Options and (ii) the fees
payable in connection with filings pursuant to the HSR Act. The Company and
Holdco shall cooperate in complying with the requirements of such Taxes and

hand, shall issue any press release or make any public statements with respect
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior
written consent of Parent or the Company and the Sellers' Representative, as the

disclosure shall notify the other party (or parties) as promptly as practicable
(and, if possible, prior to making such disclosure) and it shall use its
reasonable best efforts to limit the scope of such disclosure and seek
confidential treatment of the information to be disclosed.

6.10 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. From and after the
Effective Time of the S Merger, (a) Holdco shall and shall cause its successors
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law and
consistent with the indemnification obligations under the Company's or its
Subsidiaries' Organizational Documents in effect on the date hereof, the present
and former officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries from and
against all losses, claims, damages and liability in respect of acts or
omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time of the S Merger and
(b) the S Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to
the full extent permitted by law and consistent with the indemnification
obligations under the Company's or its Subsidiaries' Organizational Documents in

successors) to establish and maintain, to the fullest extent permitted by any
Legal Requirements, provisions in its Organizational Documents concerning the

the provisions of the Company's Organizational Documents in effect on the date
hereof. Holdco shall cause to be maintained in effect for a period of not less
than six years from the Effective Time of the S Merger the current policies of
the directors' and officers' liability insurance or other policies comparable to
those policies maintained by Parent for its officers and directors (or a "tail"

prior to the Effective Time of the S Merger (the "D&O INSURANCE") for all
present and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
so long as the annual premium therefor would not be in excess of 200% of the
last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the Effective Time of the
S Merger (the "MAXIMUM PREMIUM"). If the existing D&O Insurance expires, is
terminated or canceled during such six-year period, Holdco shall use all
reasonable efforts to cause to obtain as much D&O Insurance as can be obtained
for the remainder of such period for an annual premium not in excess of the
Maximum Premium, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the covered
persons than the existing D&O Insurance. The present and former directors and
officers covered by this Section 6.10 shall be third party beneficiaries of this
Section.

or the Company with or into any other Person or transfer any of the assets
thereof other than in the Ordinary Course of Business, and, in the case of

hand, and the Company and the Sellers, on the other hand, each agree to
indemnify and save the other harmless from any claim or demand for commission or
other compensation by any broker, finder, agent or similar intermediary claiming

affiliates, on the one hand, or by the Company or the Sellers or any of their
affiliates, on the other hand, and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred

disclosed in SCHEDULE 6.18 hereto between the Company and certain Employees of
the Company (the "EMPLOYEE AGREEMENTS") and all Company Plans; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that nothing herein shall preclude Holdco or any of its affiliates from

Agreement, whether arising by reason of the S Merger or otherwise. Subject to
compliance by ▇▇▇▇▇ Bouts with the terms of the Bouts Agreement up to the

upon the Effective Time of the S Merger, Holdco will treat such resignation as a
"Termination for Good Reason" under the Bouts Agreement.

Following the Effective Time of the S Merger, Holdco and its
Subsidiaries will provide benefits to those of its Employees who were employed
by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time of
the S Merger substantially comparable in the aggregate to those generally
provided by Holdco and its affiliates to similarly situated Employees employed
by Holdco and its affiliates; PROVIDED that such Employees shall be credited for
service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and their respective predecessors
to the extent such service was recognized by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) for all purposes, including eligibility, vesting and benefit
levels (other than with respect to benefit accruals under any plans subject to

Governmental Authorities or any private offering memoranda and with Holdco's and
Parent's financing and loan syndication activities, in each case in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the
preparation of audited financial information and management's discussion and
analysis and delivery of consents and comfort letters of auditors of the Company

reasonable efforts to cause each director of the Company and its Subsidiaries to
execute and deliver at the time of the Closing a letter of resignation as a
director of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and from
such other positions with the Company or its Subsidiaries such individual may
then hold and a release of any and all claims such director had, has or may ever
have against the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than under Section 6.10
hereof); PROVIDED that, any such director that delivers such release shall
receive from the Company and any of its Subsidiaries of which such person is
director and from Parent and Holdco a release of any and all claims such
entities had, have or may ever have against such director in such capacity or
any other capacity in which such director serves

(other than to the extent indemnification would not be permitted under
applicable law or the Company's or its Subsidiary's Organizational Documents as

strike, picket, work stoppage or lockout arising after the date hereof and up to

under this Agreement.

10.5 PROCEDURES RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION. The party making a claim
under this Article 10 is referred to as the "INDEMNITEE," and the party against
whom such claims are asserted under this Article 10 is referred to as the
"INDEMNIFYING PARTY."

10.5.1 NOTICE OF ASSERTED LIABILITY. With respect to third party
claims, all claims for indemnification by any Indemnitee under this Article 10
shall be asserted and resolved as follows: Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnitee of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances, which, with the
lapse of time, would give rise to a claim or the commencement (or the threatened
commencement of) any action, proceeding or investigation (an "ASSERTED
LIABILITY") that may result in Losses which are subject to indemnification under

Sections 10.1 or 10.2, as applicable, the Indemnitee shall give notice thereof
(the "CLAIMS NOTICE") to the Indemnifying Party; PROVIDED that, for purposes of
this Section 10.5.1 delivery of the Claims Notice to the Sellers' Representative
shall be deemed delivery of such notice to each Seller in its, and all of the
Sellers in their capacity as an Indemnifying Party. The Claims Notice shall
describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the
amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Losses that
have been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee. The failure of an Indemnitee to
provide a Claims Notice with reasonable promptness shall not adversely affect
any indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

10.5.2 OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND. The Indemnifying Party may elect
to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any Asserted
Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects to compromise or defend such
Asserted Liability, it shall, within 30 days (or sooner, if the nature of the
Asserted Liability so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent do so, and
the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the
compromise of, or defense against, such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying
Party elects not to compromise or defend the Asserted Liability, fails to notify
the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or contests its obligations to
defend under this Agreement, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such
Asserted Liability (at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee
may settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the other; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the settlement or compromise does not result in any liability
to the Indemnifying Party, consent to such settlement or compromise shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party
may participate, at their own expense, in defense of such Asserted Liability.
If the

Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall make
available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within
its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense (in the judgment
of counsel engaged by the Indemnifying Party).

The Indemnitee has the right to employ its own counsel in any
compromise of, or defense against, any Asserted Liability, or in connection with
the Indemnitee's provision of reasonable cooperation and assistance to the
Indemnifying Party or the Indemnifying Party's counsel as provided above, but
the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel employed by the Indemnitee
will be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by
the Indemnitee has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or
(ii) the Indemnifying Party has not in fact employed counsel to compromise or
defend against the Asserted Liability within a reasonable time, in each of which
cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel retained
by the Indemnitee will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. It is
understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any
proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm
admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time retained by the
Indemnitee unless the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in
writing by the Indemnifying Party.

10.5.3 NOTICE OF DIRECT CLAIM. In the event that an Indemnitee
has a claim for indemnification that does not involve a third party (a "DIRECT
CLAIM"), the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such Direct Claim
with reasonable promptness, specifying, to the extent known, the nature,
circumstances and amount of such Direct Claim (a "DIRECT CLAIM NOTICE"),
HOWEVER, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide

such Direct Claim Notice with reasonable promptness shall not adversely affect
any indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. If the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnitee that it disputes the Indemnitee's
right of indemnification with respect to a Direct Claim, the Indemnitee and the
Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute. In the
absence of such an agreement, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to proceed to
enforce its rights hereunder including its rights to indemnification from escrow
funds, if any.

10.5.4 DETERMINATION OF LOSSES. The Losses of any Indemnitee
pursuant to this Article 10 shall be determined net of the value of a net Tax
benefit or Tax saving or increased by the cost of a net Tax cost (to the extent
not included in such Losses) (the "TAX ITEMS"). The Tax Item with respect to
each such Loss shall be determined by the Indemnitee in good faith in a written
notice delivered to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the
method of making such determination (the "DETERMINATION NOTICE"), using
reasonable assumptions and methods of valuation, including the marginal United
States, state, local and foreign income tax rate applicable (or reasonably
expected to be applicable) to the Indemnitee and applying to each Tax Item a
discount rate equal to 9% in order to compute such amount to the present value.
Tax cost shall include any income that may be recognized by the Indemnitee upon
receipt of any indemnification payment under this Article 10. In the event that
the Indemnifying Party shall disagree with the determination of the amount,
value or cost of a Tax Item, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee
in writing of such disagreement within 30 days of the Indemnifying Party's
receipt of the Determination Notice, such notice (the "NOTICE OF DISAGREEMENT")
shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, including
the Indemnifying Party's estimate of the amount, value or cost of the subject
Tax Item and the method used in arriving at such estimate. The Indemnitee

100

shall provide to the Indemnifying Party the assumptions and methods of
valuation, the Tax rates utilized, and other information relating to the
determination of such Losses in the Determination Notice, and other information
reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in preparing, or considering
whether to prepare, a Notice of Disagreement. If the Indemnifying Party does
not deliver a Notice of Disagreement to the Indemnitee within such 30-day
period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to the
determination set forth in the Determination Notice, which shall be final and
binding on each of the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party. If, within 30
days after the receipt of the Notice of Disagreement by the Indemnitee (the
"CONSULTATION PERIOD"), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee are unable to
resolve their disagreement, the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the
Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, shall promptly instruct their respective
firms of accountants to select, within 10 days of the earlier of the last day of
the Consultation Period and the date on which the parties mutually acknowledge
their inability to resolve their disagreement, a third such firm, which shall be
one of the five major independent certified public accounting firms (the
"ARBITRATOR"), to finally determine the amount, value or cost of the disputed
Tax Item, which determination shall be made within 30 days of submission of the
matter to the Arbitrator (the "DETERMINATION PERIOD"), and shall be final and
binding on the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnitee shall each be entitled to submit during the first 15 days of
the Determination Period such memoranda and analysis to the Arbitrator as each
deems appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall make
available to each other and the Arbitrator all working papers, tax returns, and
other documents as either shall reasonably request and that relate to the
disputed Tax Item. If the Arbitrator determines that the value of the disputed
net Tax benefit or Tax saving is greater than 15% of the value set forth in the
Determination Notice

101

or the value of the disputed net Tax cost is more than 15% less than the value
or amounts set forth in the Determination Notice, then the fees, costs and
expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne by the Indemnitee; otherwise, the

10.6.1 Subject to the obligations of the Sellers under the GL
Indemnification Agreement, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive
remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to a breach of any
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement shall
be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 10.

10.6.2 From and after the Closing, the Seller shall not be
entitled to make any claim for indemnification relating to a breach by Parent or

Merger Consideration.

10.6.3 No party shall be entitled to make any claim pursuant to
the indemnification provisions hereof, or otherwise, for Losses (i) attributable
to loss of profits or consequential damages arising out of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) attributable to any individual claim (or
series of claims arising from substantially the same set of facts) that is less
than $50,000 ("MINIMUM AMOUNT"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, for all such claims (or
series of claims) equal to or greater than the Minimum Amount, the parties
hereto shall be obligated to pay in full all such amounts including the Minimum
Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 10.4(a) and 10.4(b)

indemnification under Section 10.1 hereof are based upon, arise out of or are in
respect of Losses suffered in connection with the ownership of the Co-Ventures

be appropriately prorated to reflect the Company's or any of the Company's
affiliates' direct or indirect percentage ownership of such Co-Ventures.

that any payments by either party to the other in respect of their
