(e)                                  If Seller disagrees with the Final Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Final Purchase Price, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such disagreement with the Final Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Final Purchase Price, which notice shall set forth any such disagreement in reasonable detail, the specific item of the Final Balance Sheet or the calculation in the Final Purchase Price to which such disagreement relates and the specific basis for each such disagreement (the “Objection Notice”).  If Seller fails to deliver the Objection Notice within the Review Period, the Final Balance Sheet and Buyer’s calculation of the Final Purchase Price shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall be final and binding and used in computing the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.  If Seller delivers the Objection Notice within the Review Period, subject to Section 3.5(f) below, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement, and any resolution agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.

(f)                                   If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement as contemplated by Section 3.5(e) within 60 days after delivery of the Objection Notice, then Buyer and Seller shall submit the matter for resolution to a mutually agreeable independent international accounting firm (the “Independent Auditor”), who shall, acting as an arbitrator, resolve the dispute set forth in the Objection Notice.  In the event Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on an Independent Auditor within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such 60-day period, at the request of either party the Independent Auditor shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.  The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be borne equally by the parties.

(g)                                  The parties shall instruct the Independent Auditor to consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Objection Notice as being items which Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve.  Further, the Independent Auditor’s determination shall be based solely on the relevant Books and Records and the other written information provided by Buyer and Seller (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review), and the Independent Auditor shall not conduct additional discovery in any form.

21

(h)                                 The parties shall jointly instruct the Independent Auditor to make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after its engagement (i) whether or not the Final Balance Sheet was prepared, and the Final Purchase Price was calculated, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or, alternatively, (ii) only with respect to the disputed items submitted to the Independent Auditor, to what extent (if any) the Final Balance Sheet or the Final Purchase Price requires adjustment.  The Independent Auditor shall provide the parties with a written explanation in reasonable detail of each such required adjustment, including the basis therefor.  All negotiations pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence, and all negotiations and submissions to the Independent Auditor shall be treated as confidential information.  The Independent Auditor shall be bound by a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement.  The procedures of this Section 3.5 are exclusive and, except as set forth below, the determination of the Independent Auditor shall be final and binding on the parties.  The decision rendered pursuant to this Section 3.5(h) may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Either party may seek specific enforcement or take other necessary legal action to enforce any decision under this Section 3.5(h).  The other party’s only defense to such a request for specific enforcement or other legal action shall be fraud by or upon the Independent Auditor.  Absent such fraud, such other party shall reimburse the party seeking enforcement for its expenses related to such enforcement.

3.6                               Tax Allocation of Consideration.  No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare, and deliver to Seller the proposed allocation of the Consideration paid by Buyer (and/or its Affiliate(s) designated pursuant to Section 2.1) to Seller pursuant to this Agreement among the Purchased Assets for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code.  The proposed allocation shall be based on an appraisal of the fair market value of the Purchased Assets by an appraiser mutually agreed upon and selected by the parties hereto.  The proposed allocation shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon both Seller and Buyer unless Seller objects in writing within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such proposed allocation.  In the event that Seller objects in writing within forty-five (45) days, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute.  If Seller and Buyer fail to resolve the dispute within forty-five (45) days following Seller’s written objection, such dispute shall be submitted for resolution to the Independent Auditor selected in accordance with Section 3.5(f).  Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after its acceptance of appointment hereunder, the Independent Auditor shall determine (based solely on applicable Law and the prior appraisal and proposed allocation and not by an additional appraisal) the fair market value of the Purchased Assets solely for purposes of such allocation under this Section 3.6.  If such determination is made by the Independent Auditor, it shall be binding upon both Seller and Buyer and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.  Each of Buyer and Seller shall bear and pay one-half of the fees and other costs charged by the Independent Auditor.  Each of Seller and Buyer agrees to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 and all federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns in accordance with such agreed allocation (giving effect, consistent with such allocation, to mutually-agreed upon adjustments as a result of adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement).  Each of Seller and Buyer shall report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements for federal income Tax and all other Tax purposes in a manner consistent

22

with the allocation determined pursuant to this Section 3.6, and, except as otherwise required by Law, neither party nor their respective Affiliates shall take a Tax position that is inconsistent with the allocation.  Each of Seller and Buyer agrees to provide the other promptly with any other information reasonably required to complete such Form 8594 and any amended Form 8594, if applicable.  Each of Seller and Buyer shall notify and provide the other with reasonable assistance in the event of an examination, audit or other proceeding regarding the agreed upon allocation of the Purchase Price.

44

hereof, to include a specific exception for such berthing rights in the Title Commitment for the Ammonia Lease.

(c)                                  Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7.1 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 7.1 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law.  The covenants contained in this Section 7.1 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

7.2                               Confidentiality.  The Confidentiality Agreement is hereby amended to continue in full force and effect until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate; provided that such Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate only with respect to that portion of the materials provided relating to the Business.  Seller shall, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents and other representatives to, hold in confidence to the

46

same extent that Seller holds in confidence its other confidential information, and not use in the Restricted Business, any proprietary or other information relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business in the possession of Seller or any of the other foregoing Persons, except as required by Law.

7.3                               Books and Records.

(b)                                 In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by Buyer relating to the Business, for a period of seven years after the Closing or the expiration of the relevant period for the statutes of limitations (including any extensions thereof), Seller shall (i) retain the Books and Records relating to the Business relating to periods prior to the Closing which shall not otherwise have been delivered to Buyer and (ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the officers, employees, agents and representatives of Buyer reasonable access (including the right to make, at the Buyer’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such Books and Records; provided that Seller shall notify Buyer at least 20 Business Days in advance of destroying any such Books and Records prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing in order to provide Buyer the opportunity to copy such Books and Records in accordance with this Section 7.3(b).

7.4                               Bulk Sales Compliance.  Buyer and Seller waive compliance with the provisions of any applicable statutes relating to bulk transfers or bulk sales.  Buyer and Seller mutually agree to cooperate in securing any available exemptions from any such provisions.

7.6                               Insurance.  Effective at the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its Insurance Policies with respect to pre-Closing matters relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets.  Upon request by Buyer, Seller shall submit, and use commercially reasonable efforts to process, claims under such Insurance Policies relating to pre-Closing matters on behalf of Buyer.  Buyer shall pay the costs of such processing and the

47

deductibles under such Insurance Policies for claims related to the Business and the Purchased Assets.

7.7                               Transition Services.  Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith the terms and duration of a transition services agreement for the provision of any necessary transition services to be provided by Seller to Buyer in connection with Buyer’s operation of the Business and the Purchased Assets after the Closing.  Buyer and Seller shall work in good faith to agree upon a form of such transition service agreement on or prior to January 15, 2014.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

8.1                               Tax Matters.

(a)                                 Each of Buyer and Seller shall bear one half of all sales, use, value-added, stamp, transfer, registration, and similar Taxes which may become due and payable and are required to be paid in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.  Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with and assist each other in any efforts to minimize, or secure any available exemptions from, any such transfer or similar Taxes.  Each of Buyer and Seller shall bear one half of all fees in the nature of recording, filing, transfer and other similar fees (and the fees and costs of any title company retained to effect any such recordations, filings or transfers) required to be paid in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Obligations pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument contemplated herein or therein.

(b)                                 On or before the Closing, all state and local real and personal property Taxes, ad valorem and similar Taxes and assessments (“Property Taxes”) which have become due and payable upon any of the Purchased Assets on or before the Effective Time shall be paid by Seller, together with any penalty or interest thereon, to the relevant Governmental Authority.  All Property Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Purchased Assets that are due and payable with respect to a Taxable period beginning before the Effective Time and ending after the Effective Time (taking into account whether such Property Taxes are payable in advance or in arrears) shall be apportioned between (i) the period beginning before and ending at the Effective Time (the “Pre-Transfer Period”); and (ii) the period beginning on the day immediately after the Effective Time and ending on the last day of the relevant Taxable period (the “Post-Transfer Period”).  In performing such apportionment, all Property Taxes shall be prorated on the assumption that an equal amount of Property Tax applies to each day of the relevant Taxable period regardless of how installment payments are billed or made.  If the actual amount of any such item is not known as of the Effective Time, such proration will be based on the previous year’s assessment of such item and the parties will adjust such proration and pay any underpayment or reimburse for any overpayment

48

within 30 days after the actual amount becomes known.  Seller shall be liable for all such Property Taxes apportioned to the Pre-Transfer Period.  Buyer shall be liable for all such Property Taxes apportioned to the Post-Transfer Period and all Property Taxes allocable to Taxable periods beginning on or after the date immediately after the Effective Time.

(c)                                  After the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of any Post-Transfer Period and other Property Taxes for which Buyer is liable under Section 8.1(b) and which Seller has paid prior to the Effective Time.  No later than 15 days prior to the due date thereof, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of any Pre-Transfer Period and other Property Taxes for which Seller is liable under Section 8.1(b) and which remain unpaid as of the Effective Time.  Buyer shall pay all Property Taxes which become due and payable after the Effective Time with respect to a Taxable period beginning before the Effective Time and ending after the Effective Time.

(d)                                 Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1(b) with respect to Property Taxes, Seller shall, at its expense, prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns with respect to the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Obligations or the trust or escrow accounts that hold the Financial Assurance Amount for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Effective Time, including Tax Returns that are due after the Effective Time, and shall pay all Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns.

(e)                                  After the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall make available to the other party and its representatives such records as such party may reasonably require for the preparation of any Tax Returns or other similar governmental reports or forms relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets and required to be filed by such party, as well as such additional records as such party may reasonably require for the defense of any audit, examination, administrative appeal or litigation concerning any such Tax Return or other similar governmental report or form.  Each of Buyer and Seller agrees to timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) the Taxes referred to in this Section 8.1(e) including, without limitation, providing all applicable resale certificates (or other similar documentation) and registering as a licensed vendor in any state or local jurisdiction as may be required to claim exemption from or reduction of Tax.  To the extent any Tax information may be relevant with respect to any Tax matters of the other party hereto, each of Seller and Buyer agrees to preserve and make reasonably available to the other, such information, records and documents, in the original form if in existence, until the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations or extensions thereof and as otherwise required by Law.

(f)                                   Each of Buyer and Seller shall, as applicable, report the transfer of the Equipment and Fixed Assets as an occasional or isolated sale under Section 12A-1.037 of the Florida Administrative Code.

ARTICLE IX

EMPLOYEES AND BENEFIT PLANS

9.1                               Offers of Employment.

(a)                                 Prior to Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer reasonable access to Seller’s premises and the Books and Records to the extent permitted by applicable Law and necessary to make the employment offers to Transferred Employees.  A “Transferred Employee” shall be an Affected Employee who (i) is eligible to be employed in the United States, and (ii) is either (1) actively performing services for Seller immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (2) is on Family and Medical Leave Act or similar state-law family or pregnancy leave, military leave, short-term disability leave or other leave protected by federal, state or applicable local Law (other than workers’ compensation leave).  Buyer and Seller agree to announce to Affected Employees within fifteen (15) days of this Agreement that Buyer intends to offer employment to Affected Employees as provided under this Section 9.1 and consistent with Section 9.3(d), contingent upon approval of the transactions contemplated hereby by federal regulators.  No later than five (5) days before the Effective Time (or, with respect to the Transferred Employees set forth on Schedule 7.1(b), on or before such date set forth in Schedule 7.1(b)), Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer each Transferred Employee an offer of employment contingent upon the Transferred Employee completing all necessary paperwork and other legal requirements for Buyer to employ the Transferred Employee.  In addition, if an Affected Employee is not actively at work with Seller as of the Effective Time due to a workers’ compensation injury and the Affected Employee is certified as being able to return to work within twelve (12) months of the Effective Time, Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, make an offer of employment to such Affected Employee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1.  Effective immediately before the Effective Time (or, in the case of an Affected Employee out on workers’ compensation, when the Affected Employee is certified as being able to return to work), Seller shall terminate the employment of all the Transferred Employees, and all Transferred Employees shall commence employment with Buyer effective as of the Effective Time.

(b)                                 It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) Buyer’s offers of employment set forth in this Article IX shall not constitute any commitment, Contract or understanding, express or implied, of any obligation on the part of Buyer to a post-Closing employment relationship of any fixed term or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Buyer may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment; and (ii) employment offered by Buyer is “at will” and may be terminated by Buyer or by an employee at any time for any reason (subject to any written commitments to the contrary or requirements of Law).  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of Buyer to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any of the Transferred Employees after the Effective Time or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, or compensation or terms or conditions of employment of such employees.  Buyer acknowledges that, with respect to a Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Buyer following

50

the Effective Time, it, and not Seller, shall be responsible for any severance obligations to such terminated Transferred Employees.

9.2                               Vacation.  Seller agrees to be solely responsible and liable for all unused earned and, as applicable, accrued or banked vacation or paid time off for all Transferred Employees through the Closing Date, and hereby agrees to provide a cash payment to all such Transferred Employees in an amount equal to the cash equivalent of all earned and, as applicable, accrued or banked vacation or paid time off (but not including any sick time or any time off that is not required by Law to be paid to such employees upon termination of employment) based upon the Transferred Employee’s wage or salary on the day prior to the Closing Date.  Buyer shall be responsible for any vacation earned after the Effective Time by any Transferred Employees under Buyer’s policies.

9.3                               Salaries, Benefits, 401(k) Plan, and COBRA.

(a)                                 Seller shall be responsible for (i) the payment of all wages, benefits, deferred compensation, equity-based compensation and other remuneration due to Affected Employees for services performed up until the Effective Time; and (ii) the provision of health plan continuation coverage in accordance with the requirements under Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder (“COBRA”) with respect to Affected Employees who experience a “qualifying event” (within the meaning of COBRA) under any Employee Plan.  Buyer shall be responsible for (x) the payment of all wages, benefits, deferred compensation, equity-based compensation and other remuneration due to Transferred Employees for services performed after the Effective Time; and (y) the provision of health plan continuation coverage in accordance with the requirements under COBRA for any Transferred Employees who experience a “qualifying event” (within the meaning of COBRA) incurred after the Effective Time under any employee benefit plan of Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

(b)                                 Seller shall retain all of Seller’s Employee Plans and all obligations and Liabilities related to such Employee Plans (including for any claims made or incurred by Affected Employees and their beneficiaries); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not prevent the transfer of assets from Seller’s defined contribution plan and trust (the “Seller’s 401(k) Plan”) to the defined contribution plan and related trust for non-bargained employees maintained by Buyer (the “Buyer’s 401(k) Plan”) as provided under Section 9.3(e).  Buyer does not assume any of Seller’s Employee Plans or any obligations or Liabilities of such Employee Plans, or any obligations, Liabilities or benefit plans provided to any employees or former employees of Seller or its ERISA Affiliates.  Buyer shall not have any obligations or Liabilities under any Employee Plan or to Seller, Seller’s ERISA Affiliates, or any of their employees, former employees, or beneficiaries, other than the actions required to be taken to effectuate Section 9.3(e).

(c)                                  Seller agrees to notify Buyer as soon as practicable, but no later than five (5) Business Days, following the receipt of a request for information or other communication from the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation or any other Governmental Authority regarding the Qualified Employee Plans.  Seller shall file all

51

reports required due to the purchase of the Business with the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation and any other Governmental Authority in a timely manner and will provide a copy of all reports to Buyer at the same time they are filed with such Governmental Authority.

(d)                                 Buyer agrees that the starting base salary paid to each Transferred Employee by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, as reflected in the offers of employment pursuant to Section 9.1(a), shall be the same after the Effective Time as paid to such Transferred Employee by Seller immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Following the Effective Time, Buyer may change a Transferred Employee’s base salary based on its compensation policies and changes to a Transferred Employee’s duties.  Buyer agrees that following the Effective Time, each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in an incentive compensation plan maintained by Buyer.  Buyer agrees that from and following the Effective Time each Transferred Employee shall be permitted to participate in Buyer’s broad-based benefit plans, programs and arrangements offered to similarly situated employees employed by the Buyer, subject to the eligibility and other terms of Buyer’s broad-based benefit plans, programs and arrangements.  For each Transferred Employee, Buyer will credit such employee’s period of service with Seller and any of its Affiliates and predecessors from the Transferred Employee’s hire date (based on Section 4.15(a) of the Disclosure Schedule) through the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility and vesting under any employee benefits plans, programs, policies or arrangements of Buyer or its Affiliates.  Buyer also agrees to credit Transferred Employees as having satisfied a pro-rata portion of the deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums under Buyer’s health, pharmacy benefit, dental and vision plans based on the number of months that have passed in the plan year before the Effective Time (e.g., if the Effective Time occurs in April, each Transferred Employee shall be credited with 4/12ths of the deductibles, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximums for the year).

(e)                                  Seller agrees to provide Buyer with the most recent favorable determination letter for Seller’s 401(k) Plan.  Buyer agrees after the Effective Time to allow (i) a trustee-to-trustee transfer of the accounts of Transferred Employees whose accounts do not contain an funding source (such as ▇▇▇▇ contributions) not allowed under Buyer’s 401(k) Plan, and (ii) a rollover of the accounts of the remaining Transferred Employees excluding any funding source (such as ▇▇▇▇ contributions) not allowed under the Buyer’s 401(k) Plan.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer with respect to the trustee-to-trustee transfer.  Buyer agrees to allow Transferred Employees to make all elections permitted under Buyer’s 401(k) Plan.  The transfer of assets shall be conducted in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1 and Section 208 of ERISA.  During the period after the Effective Time and before the transfer of assets, with respect to any Transferred Employee whose account is to be transferred under trustee-to-trustee transfer and who has an outstanding participant loan balance under Seller’s 401(k) Plan, with respect to each payroll payment to such Transferred Employee with an outstanding loan under Seller’s 401(k) Plan, Buyer shall deduct from the Transferred Employee’s pay the loan payment(s) due by the Transferred Employee and timely forward the amounts to the trustee of the Seller’s 401(k) Plan for crediting against the Transferred Employee’s loan.

52

(f)                                   Buyer and Seller agree that they shall implement a retention incentive plan for certain key Affected Employees.  The key Affected Employees are listed on Schedule 9.3(f).  Buyer and Seller shall work in good faith to agree upon a form of such retention incentive plan on or prior to November 18, 2013, which shall be substantially consistent with the retention incentive plan attached as part of Schedule 9.3(f).  To receive the retention incentive payment, a key Affected Employee must (i) be continuously employed by Seller through the Effective Time, and (ii) be continuously employed by Buyer from the Effective Time through the date that is six (6) months after the Effective Time (or, if the transactions contemplated hereby are not approved by governmental regulators, employed by the Seller through the date that is six months after the date of the cancellation of the transactions contemplated hereby).  Provided that a key Affected Employee satisfies the retention incentive plan requirements, Buyer or Seller (as applicable under the retention incentive plan) shall pay the key Affected Employee a lump sum payment of the retention incentive on the date provided by under the retention incentive plan.  Within five (5) Business Days of such payment, (i) if Buyer pays the amounts under the retention incentive plan, then Seller shall reimburse Buyer for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the retention incentive paid to the key Affected Employees, and (ii) if Seller pays the amounts under the retention incentive plan, then Buyer shall reimburse Seller for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the retention incentive paid to the key Affected Employees.

9.4                               General Employment Provisions.

(a)                                 Seller and Buyer shall give any notices requested by Law and take whatever other actions with respect to the plans, programs and policies described in this Article IX as may be necessary to carry out the arrangements contemplated hereby.

(b)                                 Seller and Buyer shall each provide the other with such plan documents and summary plan descriptions, employee data or other information as may be reasonably required to carry out the arrangements described in this Article IX.

(c)                                  If any of the arrangements described in this Article IX are determined by the IRS or other Governmental Authority to be prohibited by Law, Seller and Buyer shall modify such arrangements to as closely as possible reflect their expressed intent and retain the allocation of economic benefits and burdens to the parties contemplated herein in a manner not prohibited by Law.

(d)                                 The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee, director or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Employee Plan or other employee benefit plan for any purpose.  Nothing in this Article IX shall be construed to (i) limit the right of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates to amend or terminate any Employee Plan or any other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, or (ii) require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to retain the

53

employment of any particular Transferred Employee for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date.

(a)                                 By the mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer;

(b)                                 Either Seller or Buyer, by written notice, may terminate this Agreement if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that a party may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(b) if such party is at such time in material breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;

(c)                                  By Seller or Buyer, if any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority shall have issued a final and non-appealable order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(d)                                 By Buyer if (i) Seller shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.2(a) or (b) and which cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof by Buyer or (ii) Seller has had a Material Adverse Effect; and

(e)                                  By Seller if Buyer shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.3(a) and which cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof by Seller.

57

In the event of any termination pursuant to this Section 12.1 (other than pursuant to clause (a)), written notice setting forth the reasons therefor shall forthwith be given by the terminating party to the other party.  The termination of this Agreement shall be effective upon delivery of such notice to the other party.

12.2                        Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except for the obligations set forth in Article XIV and Sections 15.1, 15.3, 15.4, 15.11, 15.12, 15.13 and 15.14, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for any fraud or willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the date of such termination.

ARTICLE XIII

INDEMNIFICATION

13.1                        Survival; Remedy for Breach.  With the exception of the representations and warranties relating to the status of title to the Owned Real Property or other matters covered by the Title Policies under Section 4.6(e) (Assets), Section 4.8(a) (Real Property) and the last sentence of Section 4.5(b) (Mineral Reserves), which shall expire at Closing, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided, however, that the representations and warranties made (a) under Section 4.13 (Environmental Matters) (the “Environmental Rep”) shall survive for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; (b) under Section 4.9 (Taxes) (the “Tax Rep”) shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereto), at which time the applicable provisions of the Tax Rep shall expire; (c) under Section 4.1 (Existence, Good Standing, Residency), Section 4.2 (Due Authorization) and the first sentence of Section 4.6(a) (Assets) with respect to title to the Purchased Assets (other than Real Property) shall survive indefinitely (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Reps”); and (d) under Section 5.1 (Existence and Good Standing) and Section 5.2 (Due Authorization) shall survive indefinitely (collectively, the “Buyer Fundamental Reps”).  Any claims or rights with respect to the covenants or agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement that contemplate performance on or prior to the Closing Date shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire.  No claim regarding a breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be made after the applicable period of survival.  Any claim asserted within any such period of survival as herein provided shall be timely made for purposes hereof such that the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of such claim, to the extent of such claim only, shall be deemed to continue to survive until such claim has been fully and finally resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The foregoing shall not limit the rights of any Person with respect to covenants to be performed after the Closing Date, which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period therefor.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of this Article XIII, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including any group with which Buyer files combined or consolidated Tax Returns) and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of them arising out of or relating to any of the following, without duplication:

(i)                                     any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty (other than the Environmental Rep, the Tax Rep and the Seller Fundamental Reps) made by Seller in this Agreement;

(ii)                                  any breach of, or inaccuracy in, the Environmental Rep (regardless of whether the Loss is an Assumed Environmental Liability);

(iv)                              any breach of or failure by Seller to perform any covenant or obligation set forth or contemplated in this Agreement;

(v)                                 the ownership or operation of the Excluded Assets;

(vi)                              the Clean Air Act NOV and the EPCRA NOV; and

(vii)                           any Excluded Obligations.

(b)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether a Loss arises out of, or relates to, an Assumed Obligation, the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to be indemnified, in accordance with the terms of this Article XIII, for such Loss if arising out of, or relating to, any of the matters set forth in Section 13.2(a).

13.3                        Indemnification by Buyer.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of this Article XIII, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates (including any group with which Seller files combined or consolidated Tax Returns) and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of them arising out of or relating to any of the following, without duplication:

(i)                                     any breach, or inaccuracy in, of any representation or warranty (other than the Buyer Fundamental Reps) made by Buyer in this Agreement;

59

(iv)                              any of the Assumed Obligations; and

(v)                                 the conduct of the Business or the use or ownership of the Purchased Assets by Buyer from and after the Effective Time.

13.4                        Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)                                 Seller shall not be liable with respect to (i) any matter referred to in Section 13.2(a)(i) or (ii) Section 13.2(a)(iv) with respect to any breach or failure to perform the covenants or agreements set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement unless the aggregate Losses incurred by Buyer thereunder exceed $12,500,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Indemnified Person will be entitled to make a claim against Seller for such Losses in excess of $6,250,000.  Seller shall not be liable with respect to Section 13.2(a)(ii) unless the aggregate Losses incurred by Buyer thereunder exceed $20,000,000 (the “Environmental Basket”), in which event the Indemnified Person will be entitled to make a claim against Seller for such Losses in excess of $10,000,000.  Seller’s combined aggregate liability under (x) Section 13.2(a)(i) and (y) Section 13.2(a)(iv) with respect to any breach or failure to perform the covenants set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to $62,500,000 (the “Cap”).  Seller’s aggregate liability under Section 13.2(a)(ii) and 13.2(a)(vi) shall not exceed an amount equal to $200,000,000 (the “Environmental Cap”).  Seller’s aggregate liability under Section 13.2(a)(iii) shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(b)                                 Buyer shall not be liable with respect to any matter referred to in Section 13.3(a)(i) unless the aggregate Losses thereunder exceed the Basket, in which event Seller will be entitled to make a claim against Buyer for such Losses in excess of $6,250,000.  Buyer’s aggregate liability under Section 13.3(a)(i) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Cap.  Buyer’s aggregate liability under Section 13.3(a)(ii) shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(c)                                  The parties agree that, for purposes of Sections 13.2(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Sections 13.3(a)(i) and (ii), the amount of the Losses (and not the existence of a breach) shall be determined without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications contained in such representations and warranties.

(d)                                 The amount for which an Indemnifying Person shall be liable with respect to any Loss shall be reduced (i) to the extent that the Indemnified Person shall theretofore have actually realized any net proceeds recovered from Third Parties (other than insurers) with respect to such Loss and (ii) by the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by an Indemnified Person (or any of its subsidiaries) due to the incurrence of such Loss.  If an Indemnified Person shall have received or shall have had paid on its behalf an indemnity payment with respect to a Loss and shall subsequently receive, directly or indirectly, such proceeds, then the Indemnified Person shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Person the net amount of such proceeds or, if less, the amount of such indemnity payment.  The Indemnified Person shall have no obligation to take any action to file claims under applicable policies to recover insurance proceeds that may be due to

60

the Indemnified Person in order to mitigate the Indemnifying Person’s obligations hereunder.

(e)                                  No party shall have any right to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Loss if such Loss is included in the calculation of the Net Working Capital.

(f)                                   Neither Buyer nor Seller (or their respective Affiliates) shall have any right to set-off any payment due under this Agreement or any other agreement by or among Buyer and Seller (or their respective Affiliates) against any other payments to be made pursuant this Agreement, any such other agreement or otherwise.

(g)                                  Each Indemnified Person shall consult and cooperate with the Indemnifying Person and shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take, all other commercially reasonable actions to mitigate Losses in connection with claims for which an Indemnified Person seeks indemnification hereunder.

13.5                        Claims.  As soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a Third Party Claim with respect to which indemnity may be claimed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnified Person shall promptly give notice to the Indemnifying Person of such claim or the commencement of any such Third Party Claim, which notice shall include a good faith estimate of the amount the Indemnified Person estimates that it is entitled to receive hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim from the Indemnifying Person; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article XIII unless and to the extent (if any) that such failure causes the Indemnifying Person to forfeit any material rights or defenses by reason of such failure.

13.6                        Assumption of Defense.  The Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim or, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that (a) the Indemnifying Person’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (b) the Indemnifying Person shall thereafter consult with and update the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person’s reasonable request from time to time; and (c) the Third Party Claim involves only monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief or does not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Person, based on the advice of counsel, involve a conflict of interest.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person; provided, however, that in the event the Indemnifying Person fails to actively and diligently conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, then in such event, upon twenty (20) days’ notice during which time such failure to so conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim is not cured, the Indemnified Person may hire separate counsel, and reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Person.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such Third Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

61

13.7                        Settlement or Compromise.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall not settle such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Person consents in writing.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (which may be withheld in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (x) does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (y) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Person will be indemnified hereunder. If the Indemnified Person is conducting the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

13.8                        Failure of Indemnifying Person to Act.  In the event that the Indemnifying Person does not elect to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, then (a) the Indemnified Person shall (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Person) have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim; and (b) any failure of the Indemnified Person to defend or to participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations hereunder or, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, otherwise impose an obligation to defend the Indemnified Person hereunder.

13.9                        Direct Claims.  As soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim or Loss with respect to which indemnity may be claimed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall promptly give notice to the Indemnifying Person of such Direct Claim, which notice shall include a good faith estimate of the amount the Indemnified Person estimates that it is entitled to receive hereunder with respect to such Direct Claim from the Indemnifying Person; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article XIII unless and to the extent (if any) that such failure causes the Indemnifying Person to forfeit any material rights or defenses by reason of such failure.  The Indemnifying Person will have a period of thirty (30) calendar days within which to evaluate and respond in writing to any Direct Claim.  If the Indemnifying Person does not pay such Direct Claim within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Person will be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim, in which event the Indemnified Person will be entitled to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Person.

13.10                 Additional Provisions Related to Environmental Indemnification.

(a)                                 The following additional procedures, terms and limitations shall also apply with respect to Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Sections 13.2(a)(ii) and 13.2(a)(vi):

(i)                                     Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 13.5, the provisions of Sections 13.6, 13.7

62

and 13.8 shall apply with respect to Third Party Claims and the provisions of Section 13.9 shall apply to Direct Claims.

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Buyer shall have the right to determine, either by and through its direct defense of a matter or by and through its participation in the defense of a matter assumed by Seller, in its reasonable discretion (subject to its obligation to consult with Seller as provided herein) any or all of the following as they may arise in a matter subject to this Section 13.10:  (a) the measures, methods or actions to be taken to correct or mitigate noncompliance with any Environmental Law after the Effective Time; (b) the manner in which an Adverse Environmental Condition shall be remediated, cleaned up or otherwise addressed, in any case in which such action would affect the manner in which the Business is conducted or any Facility is operated or used, excluding de minimis affects; or (c) resolution or settlement of any Third Party Claim if such resolution or settlement either would affect the manner in which the Business is conducted or any Facility is operated or used, excluding de minimis affects, or would increase Buyer’s exposure to or the likelihood of the assertion of additional Third Party Claims, provided that Buyer shall not have the right to settle a claim without Seller’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement would require Seller to undertake injunctive or equitable relief or impose a monetary sanction on Seller either directly or as a result of its indemnification obligations, including an obligation to pay damages, response costs or civil or criminal penalties.  Nothing herein shall be construed to expand the scope of Seller’s indemnification obligations or negate the principles, terms and limitations set forth in Section 13.10(b) or otherwise under this Article XIII, and Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer for Losses to the extent that the actions or decisions taken by Buyer hereunder cause a significant increase in Seller’s Losses and Liabilities (including, without limitation, any civil or criminal penalties Seller may incur in connection with any matter subject to indemnification hereunder).  Buyer shall afford Seller, at its own cost and expense, the opportunity to reasonably participate in any matter that is subject to this Section 13.10(a), including by providing copies of all notices, correspondence, draft reports and final reports related to such matter; providing Seller with a reasonable opportunity to comment on submissions to Governmental Authorities and other Persons; and allowing Seller to participate in meetings and discussions with Governmental Authorities and other Persons.

(b)                                 The following principles, terms and limitations shall govern in resolving any disputes, whether informally or by the mechanisms herein provided:

(i)                                     If the cost of investigation or remediation of actual or alleged contamination of properties is increased due to actions by Buyer after the Closing Date, Seller shall not be responsible for any such increase in costs incurred;

(ii)                                  Seller shall only be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person for fines or penalties arising out of actual or alleged noncompliance with

63

Environmental Laws accruing during the period prior to the Closing Date or for expenditures made or actions taken by any Buyer Indemnified Person to achieve compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, to the extent the Business was not in compliance on the Closing Date, and shall in no event be liable for any Losses arising out of any expenditures made or actions taken by any Buyer Indemnified Person to maintain compliance with applicable Environmental Laws based on circumstances arising after the Closing Date; for expenditures that are not commercially reasonable taking into account the obligation to come into compliance with applicable Environmental Law or, subject to the express written consent of Seller, that improve the Purchased Assets or Leased Real Property in a manner that goes beyond what is required to bring said assets into compliance with applicable Environmental Law for the purpose of providing an economic benefit to a Buyer Indemnified Person; or for operating costs related to the ongoing operation of the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Leased Real Property once compliance has been achieved;

(iii)                               Seller shall not be responsible for any Losses, including costs of investigation and remediation of properties impacted by Hazardous Materials, to the extent such Losses are incurred due to:  (i) any change in Environmental Laws after the Closing Date; (ii) the closure or partial closure or sale of the Purchased Assets or Leased Real Property, or any operations or units that comprise part of the Purchased Assets or Leased Real Property; (iii) any change in the use of the Purchased Assets or the Leased Real Property after the Closing Date that would trigger investigation or remediation obligations or would result in the imposition of more stringent Remediation Standards; or (iv) any investigation or remediation that is not conducted to achieve compliance with the least stringent applicable Remediation Standard and in a cost effective manner.  Seller shall not be liable for any operating costs associated with on-going monitoring and operations and maintenance after completion of an investigation or remediation of alleged or actual contamination of soil, groundwater or surface water;

(iv)                              Seller shall not be responsible for costs for investigation, remediation corrective actions or other Losses arising out of or related to any investigation, compliance or risk audit, assessment, study or other remedial or corrective action that any Buyer Indemnified Person voluntarily initiates, performs or causes to be performed by any Person or Governmental Authority (i.e., any investigation, compliance or risk audit, assessment, study or other remedial or corrective action that any Buyer Indemnified Person initiates, performs or causes to be performed which is not required by any Environmental Law or first initiated and required by a Governmental Authority), provided, that this limitation shall not apply to compliance audits that are conducted by Buyer in the normal course of business consistent with Buyer’s established environmental, health and safety auditing program; and

(v)                                 Seller shall not be responsible for any Losses arising as a result of any matter as to which Buyer has initiated contact with a Governmental Authority without prior approval from Seller, if Seller can demonstrate that Buyer would, in

64

the normal course of operating its business, not have initiated such contact with such Governmental Authority and was doing so for the primary purpose of accelerating or creating a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

13.11                 Tax Treatment of Payment under Article XIII.  Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, all payments received by an Indemnified Person from an Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Article XIII shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Consideration.  If the receipt of any such payment is required by applicable Law to be treated for income Tax purposes in a manner other than as an adjustment to the Consideration, the amount of the payment shall be increased to take account of net Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnified Person in respect thereto.

13.12                 Exclusive Remedy.  Except in the case of (a) willful misconduct with respect to the breach of a covenant or agreement contained herein or (b) fraud by a party and as set forth in Sections 3.5 and 3.6 Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article XIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or any breach, nonfulfillment or default in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and (ii) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement shall give rise to any right on the part of Buyer or Seller, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or to any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof (whether by contract, common law, statute, law, regulation or otherwise), all of which the parties hereby waive.

ARTICLE XIV

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1                        Dispute Resolution.

(a)                                 Except as provided in Sections 3.5 and 3.6, any dispute or difference occurring or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any contested claim for indemnification pursuant to Article XIII above (each, a “Dispute”), shall be first submitted for resolution pursuant to the following procedure.  First, a senior executive officer of each party will meet in person to resolve the Dispute within ten (10) days after written notice of such Dispute is provided to the other party.  If such executive officers are unable to resolve the dispute within such 10-day period, the Chief Executive Officers of each party shall promptly attempt to resolve the Dispute.  If the Chief Executive Officers are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days following the original notice of such Dispute, such Dispute shall be submitted to non-binding mediation as provided in this Section 14.1.

(b)                                 Mediation of each dispute shall be facilitated by a single mediator selected by the parties, knowledgeable and experienced in resolution of commercial disputes.  If the parties are unable to reach agreement on a single mediator, each of Buyer and Seller

65

shall designate a representative of its own choosing, and the two persons so designated shall select a third mediator who shall mediate the Dispute.

(c)                                  The mediation shall take place in Tampa, Florida or in such other place as the parties may agree, within thirty (30) days following the date one or both of the Chief Executive Officers informs the other that they are unable to resolve the matter pursuant to this Section 14.1 (the “Mediation Period”).

(d)                                 If, for any reason, the parties have not resolved the Dispute in writing at the expiration of the Mediation Period, then (i) such portion of the unresolved Dispute which involves a claim for indemnification under Sections 13.2(a)(ii), 13.2(a)(vi), 13.2(a)(vii) (with respect to the Excluded Obligations described in Section 2.6(g) or (h)), 13.3(a)(iv) (with respect to the Assumed Obligations described in Section 2.5(c)) or 13.3(a)(v) (with respect to compliance with or Liability under Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or with respect to environmental, health and safety matters, including protection or preservation of natural resources) (an “Environmental Dispute”) shall be submitted for final and binding arbitration in the manner provided by Section 14.2 below; and (ii) all other remaining unresolved Disputes shall be brought by an action for relief at law or in equity as provided in Section 15.13 below.

14.2                        Arbitration of Environmental Disputes.  As provided in Section 14.1(d) above, any Environmental Disputes which remain unresolved by the expiration of the Mediation Period shall be referred to final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified herein.  There shall be three arbitrators.  Each arbitrator shall be an attorney with experience in Environmental Laws and resolution of the types of matters that are the subject of the Environmental Dispute.  The claimant(s) shall appoint one arbitrator in the Demand for Arbitration and the respondent(s) shall appoint another arbitrator in the Answering Statement.  Within thirty (30) calendar days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, the two party-appointed arbitrators shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the tribunal.  Any arbitrator not timely appointed herein shall, upon the request of any party, be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.  The legal seat of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware, although the arbitral tribunal may hold the arbitration hearing in Tampa, Florida, or any other that location it determines is most convenient.  Unless the parties to the arbitration otherwise mutually agree in writing, or unless the tribunal, in its discretion, determines otherwise, the tribunal shall endeavor to render an award within thirty (30) days of the date of the final post-hearing submission; provided, that the failure to meet any such time period shall not constitute a grounds against or objection to the confirmation or enforcement of the arbitration award.  The tribunal shall have the power to grant all legal and equitable remedies available under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and/or specific performance, except that incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages shall not be awarded.  The award of the tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties thereto, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.3                        Confidentiality.  All proceedings under this Article XIV, and all evidence given or discovered pursuant hereto, shall be maintained in confidence by all parties, and may not be disclosed except and to the extent that disclosure is required by law or regulation, is required to

66

protect or pursue a legal right or is required to enforce or challenge an arbitral award in legal proceedings before a court or other competent judicial authority.  Any proceedings under Section 14.1, and any information disclosed or settlement discussions conducted shall be treated as subject to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and shall not be admissible in any action relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the formation of this Agreement.

14.4                        Continued Performance.  The fact that the dispute resolution procedure specified in this Article XIV shall have been or may be invoked shall not excuse any party from performing its obligations under this Agreement and, during the pendency of any such procedure, all parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations in good faith, subject to any rights to terminate this Agreement that may be available to any party.

ARTICLE XV

15.5                        Waivers.  The failure of a party hereto at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver by a party of any condition or of any breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing, and no waiver in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach in other instances or a waiver of any other condition or breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty.

15.6                        Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement, nor any Ancillary Agreements (except as may be expressly provided otherwise in any such Ancillary Agreement) nor any right or obligation hereunder or thereunder may be assigned by any party hereto other than to an Affiliate of such party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve a party from its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit Buyer’s ability to sell or to transfer any or all of the Purchased Assets following the Closing; provided, further, however, that in connection with any such sale or transfer, Buyer may not sell, assign or transfer any rights against Seller or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller.  Buyer may designate one or more Affiliates to take title to certain of the Purchased Assets, but no such designation shall relieve Buyer from any obligation under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

15.7                        No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in Article XIII with respect to Indemnified Persons, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon any other Person any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right, including without limitation, rights of any Affected Employee in respect of any right of any party hereunder or any right to contract or any right to employment or continued employment with Buyer.

15.8                        Publicity.  Prior to the Closing, neither party to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication.

15.9                        Further Assurances.  Seller and Buyer agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonable, necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any agreement, document or instrument contemplated herein.

15.10                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue.

15.11                 Entire Understanding.  This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings among such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

69

15.12                 Applicable Law.  This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

15.13                 Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a)                                 Subject to Article XIV and Sections 3.5 and 3.6 herein, Buyer and Seller each irrevocably agrees that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, in the event such court does not have jurisdiction over the Dispute, any state or U.S. federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Courts”), and appropriate appellate courts therefrom, are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claims, differences or disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b)                                 Buyer and Seller each irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for such purpose and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any proceedings in any Delaware Court and any claim that any proceedings brought in any such court have been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each of Buyer and Seller further irrevocably agrees that a final judgment in any proceedings brought in an applicable Delaware Court shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(c)                                  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15.13(c).

15.14                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same original instrument.

15.15                 Specific Performance.  The parties hereto recognize that, if Seller or Buyer refuses to perform under the provisions of this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be

70

adequate to compensate Buyer or Seller for its injuries.  Buyer or Seller shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.  If any action is brought by Buyer or Seller to enforce this Agreement, Buyer or Seller shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.  In the event of a default by Buyer or Seller that results in the filing of a lawsuit for damages, specific performance or other remedies, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other party of reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, in connection with such lawsuit.

15.16                 Guarantee.

(a)                                 To induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Parent, subject to the terms and conditions below, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer when due, after any required notice has been given and after any applicable cure periods have expired, complete and punctual payment, observance, performance and discharge of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  This is an unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection.  The parties hereto recognize that, if Parent refuses to perform under the provisions of this Section 15.16, monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate Buyer for its injuries.  Buyer shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Section 15.16.  If any action is brought by Buyer to enforce this Section 15.16, Parent shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.  In the event of a default by Parent under this Section 15.16 that results in the filing of a lawsuit for damages, specific performance or other remedies, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other party of reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Buyer or Parent, as applicable, in connection with such lawsuit.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the failure by Seller to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall provide Parent with a copy of any notice(s) of default provided to Seller under this Agreement or which Buyer is entitled to provide to Seller under this Agreement, and Buyer shall make demand of payment and/or performance upon Parent.  Such demand shall be in writing and shall state the obligation that Seller has failed to perform under this Agreement.  Subject to any limitations set forth herein, Parent shall pay and/or perform, or cause to be paid and/or performed, such Guaranteed Obligations within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such demand.  A single written demand shall be effective as to any specific default during the continuance of such default, until Seller or Parent has cured such default, and additional written demands concerning such default shall not be required until such default is cured.

(c)                                  Parent reserves to itself all rights, counterclaims and other defenses which Seller may have to payment of any Guaranteed Obligation, except for defenses arising out of the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceeding affecting Seller.  Parent waives all rights of subrogation to or contribution by Seller until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Parent shall have and may assert against

71

its obligations hereunder, and Parent’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to, any claim, right, deduction or defense of any kind that Seller may have under this Agreement, (ii) to the extent this Agreement provides for notices, limitations, restrictions or other procedures or provisions, such notices, limitations, restrictions and other procedures and provisions shall apply to Parent’s obligations hereunder to the same extent as they apply to Seller under this Agreement and (iii) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights or remedies under this Agreement as to Parent that they would not otherwise have as to Seller under this Agreement, (A) except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1 and (B) except for the guaranty provided in this Section 15.16 subject to all of the other provisions of this Section 15.16.
