- 58 -

are no sufficient funds in the Escrow Account (that are not subject to pending claims) to cover such Damages (for the avoidance of doubt: which arise from or as a result of any matter referred to in the preceding clauses “(i),” (ii)” or “(iii)”) the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless (freistellen) the Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate the Indemnitees for such Damages with such compensation to be pro rata based upon the percentages set forth under “Escrow Percentage” (the “Participation Percentage”) in Schedule 2.2A, except that with respect to clause “(ii)” above, the breaching Seller’s obligation to indemnify, compensate and reimburse the Indemnitees shall not be limited to such Seller’s Participation Percentage of the Damages and the Indemnitees, at their sole discretion, may either recover part or all of the Damages from the Sellers based on their respective Participation Percentages of the Damages and/or recover part or all of the Damages from the breaching Seller (as long as the Indemnitees do not get recovery more than once for the same Damages).

Each Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless (freistellen) the Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate the Indemnitees for, all Damages suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees or to which the Indemnitees have otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise from or as a result of any breach of one or more of the Representations and Warranties or covenants of such Seller contained in this Agreement.

Sections 249 to 254 German Civil Code (BGB) shall apply unless otherwise provided herein.

Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 10.5, in the event that a third party has a claim against any Indemnitee, whether due or not, which would not exist had a breach not occurred, the funds in the Escrow Account shall be used to indemnify and hold harmless (freistellen) the Indemnitees from and against such claim and to compensate the Indemnitees for all Damages suffered or incurred which they would not have suffered in the absence of such a claim; provided, however, that once the funds in the Escrow Account are exhausted or if there are no sufficient funds (that are not subject to pending claims) to cover such Damages the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless (freistellen) the Indemnitees from such claim and shall compensate the Indemnitees for all Damages suffered which they would not have suffered in the absence of such a claim.

Purchaser’s rights under Section 12.10 to injunctive relief (einstweiliger Rechtsschutz) and specific performance (Erfüllungsanspruch), and rights under Sections 11 and 12 of this Agreement shall remain unaffected.

10.3	Notice of Claim

If Purchaser, Parent or any other Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered Damages for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 10 of this Agreement, Purchaser or Parent may deliver a notice of claim (a “Notice of Claim”) to: (x) if such claim is based on the breaches of the Representations and Warranties of the Company in Section 7 or Section 11, Sellers’ Agent and the Escrow Agent, or (y) if such claim is based on a breach of a Representation or Warranty made by a Seller in Section 8, the applicable Seller.

Section 442 of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall not apply. In the event that Sellers or the Company disclose to Purchaser prior to the Closing any actual or potential breach, such disclosure by Sellers shall not affect the remedies that Purchaser or any of the other Indemnitees is entitled to under this Agreement, under any Legal Requirement or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in each of the subsections of Section 7 shall be qualified and limited by the information included in the corresponding subsection of the Schedules attached hereto and any other subsection of Schedule 7 to the extent it is clearly apparent from the reading of such other subsection of Schedule 7 (without any other information available to the reader) that it is applicable to such representation or warranty. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that a representation or warranty being “qualified and limited” by certain information means that the representation or warranty shall not be deemed to have been breached due to the occurrence of such information and the Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees as a result of the occurrence of such information solely pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(i), but the Sellers’ obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees pursuant to all other sections shall remain intact. In particular and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Sellers’ obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(iii) or Schedule 10.1(a) of Reference Deed 2 shall remain intact and the Sellers will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(iii) and for all matters listed in Schedule 10.1(a) of Reference Deed 2 even if such matters were clearly disclosed on the Schedules.

10.5	Minimum and Maximum Liability Amounts

The Escrow Account shall not be available for indemnification payment for any Damages suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees, or to which the Indemnitees have otherwise become subject, to the extent such Damages are accounted for in a specific reserve set forth in the financials used to calculate the Final Working Capital.

Subject to clause “(e)” below, the Escrow Account shall not be available for indemnification payment for breaches of Representations and Warranties contained in Section 7, other than the Specified Representations, until such time as the aggregate amount of Damages (whenever suffered and whether arising from a single breach or from multiple breaches of different Representations and Warranties) exceeds an amount of $50,000 (the “Threshold”). At such time as the aggregate amount of such Damages

- 61 -

exceeds the Threshold, then the Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the full amount of such Damages (and not merely the portion of such Damages exceeding the Threshold) in accordance with Section 10.1.

Subject to clause “(f)” below, the maximum liability that a Seller may have with respect to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (including in such Seller’s capacity as owner of Shares, holder of Stock Appreciation Rights, as a bonus or otherwise); provided, however, that the maximum liability that a Seller may have with respect to indemnification of matters giving rise to an inaccuracy or breach of Section 7.18 of this Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate of the funds available in the Escrow Account and the funds actually received by such Seller from the Escrow Account.

Subject to clause “(e)” below, the funds available in the Escrow Account shall be the sole recourse available to the Indemnitees with respect to breaches of Representations and Warranties contained in Section 7 unless provided otherwise in this Section 10.5.

The limitations set forth in Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(d) shall not apply in case of breaches of any of the Specified Representations (other than Section 7.18 pursuant to Section 10.5(c) above), in which case, the Escrow Account shall be used to, or at the election of Purchaser, the Sellers will, indemnify, hold harmless and compensate the Indemnitees from and against all Damages suffered by the Indemnitees which they would not have suffered if breaches of any of the Specified Representations had not occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, it is also understood that the limitations contained in Section 10.5(b) and 10.5(d) shall not apply to any of the following: (i) breaches of Representations and Warranties of any Seller contained in Section 8 in which case the particular Seller will indemnify, hold harmless and compensate the Indemnitees from and against all Damages suffered by the Indemnitees which they would not have suffered if such breaches had not occurred; (ii) breaches of covenants or obligations of any Seller, in which case the Escrow Account shall be used to, or at the election of Purchaser, the Sellers will indemnify, hold harmless and compensate the Indemnitees from and against all Damages suffered by the Indemnitees which they would not have suffered if such breaches had not occurred; (iii) breaches of Representations and Warranties contained in Section 11.1, in which case the Escrow Account shall be used to, or at the election of Purchaser, the Sellers will indemnify, hold harmless and compensate the Indemnitees

- 62 -

from and against all Damages suffered by the Indemnitees which they would not have suffered if such breaches had not occurred; or (iv) the matters specified in Section 10.1(a)(iii), in which case the Escrow Account shall be used to, and if no funds (free of pending claims) are available in the Escrow Account, then the Sellers will indemnify, hold harmless and compensate the Indemnitees from and against all Damages suffered by the Indemnitees which they would not have suffered if the matters specified in Section 10.1(a)(iii) had not occurred.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitation on liability set forth in this Agreement shall not apply in the case of fraud, intentional or grossly negligent breaches of Representations and Warranties or covenants, in which case, the Escrow Account shall be used to, or at the election of Purchaser, the Sellers will, indemnify, hold harmless and compensate the Indemnitees from and against all Damages suffered by the Indemnitees which they would not have suffered if the fraud, intentional or grossly negligent breaches of Representations and Warranties or covenants had not occurred.

10.6	Liability of Sellers; Recourse of Indemnitees

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10, Purchaser shall first make claims for breaches pursuant to Section 10 other than claims for breaches of: (i) the covenants or other obligations of the Company or any Seller contained in this Agreement; (ii) the Representations and Warranties given by any Seller pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement; or (iii) the Specified Representations, against the Escrow Account, provided that at the time of making such claim, the amount of Damages claimed by the Indemnitees to be owing with respect to such claim does not exceed the portion of the Escrow Amount that is not subject to a prior indemnification claim and that is available for such claim. In the event that an Indemnitee is entitled to make claims directly against the Sellers for amounts in excess of the Escrow Amount, the liability of the Sellers under this Section 10 or Section 11 shall be pro rata based upon the Participation Percentage in Schedule 2.2A except with respect to indemnification obligations pursuant to 10.1(a)(ii), in which the breaching Seller’s obligation to indemnify, compensate and reimburse the Indemnitees shall not be limited to such Seller’s Participation Percentage of the Damages and the Indemnitees, at their sole discretion, may either recover part or all of the Damages from the Sellers based on their respective Participation Percentages of the Damages and/or recover part or all of the Damages from the breaching Seller. It is hereby

- 63 -

agreed that if an Indemnitee is entitled to obtain Damages from any Seller (but not from all Sellers) pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee will be entitled to recover such Damages from such Seller’s portion of the Escrow Account (if any) and such Seller’s interest in the Escrow Account shall be decreased appropriately.

Each Seller shall be severally, and not jointly, liable for breaches of such Seller’s Representations and Warranties contained in Section 8. Purchaser shall make claims for breaches of Representations and Warranties contained in Section 8 directly against the breaching Seller or Sellers.

10.7	Third Party Claims

Without limiting Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall, to the extent legally possible, inform Sellers’ Agent in writing promptly about any and all Legal Proceedings filed or taken against any Indemnitee for which Sellers might become liable hereunder (“Third Party Claim”).

Purchaser and the Company shall be in control of the defense against any Third Party Claim at the expense of Sellers. Purchaser shall keep Sellers’ Agent reasonably informed as to the status of Third Party Claims. Purchaser shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise Third Party Claims; provided, however, that if Purchaser settles, adjusts or compromises any Third Party Claims without the consent of Sellers’ Agent, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by Purchaser in connection with such Third Party Claims (it being understood that if Purchaser requests that Sellers’ Agent consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, Sellers’ Agent shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent).

10.8	Time Limitations of Breach of Representations and Warranties Contained in Section 7

Any claims of Purchaser or the other Indemnitees for breach of Representations and Warranties contained in Section 7 shall become time-barred 24 months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing time limitation shall not apply: (i) in the case of fraud or intentional or grossly negligent breaches of Representations and Warranties; or (ii) to breaches of Specified Representations, which (in each case of clauses “(i)” and “(ii)”) shall become statute-barred after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation. For the avoidance of doubt, it is also understood that the limitations contained

- 64 -

in this Section 10.8 shall not apply to breaches of covenant or obligation of any Seller, breaches of Representations and Warranties contained in Section 8 or breaches of Representations and Warranties contained in Section 11.1.

Any claims of Purchaser or the other Indemnitees for breach of the Specified Representations or the Representations and Warranties contained in Section 8 shall become time-barred seven years after the Closing Date;

The expiry period for claims made under Section 10 hereof shall be suspended (gehemmt) by delivery of a claim notice pursuant to Section 10.3. The statutory provisions on interruptions and suspensions shall remain unaffected. Section 202 para. 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall in any event remain unaffected.

10.9 No Double Compensation

For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Sellers to compensate the Company, Purchaser or other Indemnitees for any Damage more than once.

- 71 -

pay the respective Taxes and the amount of all other payments due pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall become due five days after written demand from Purchaser is delivered to Sellers’ Agent. Purchaser may, at its election, claim any amounts due pursuant to this Section 11 from the Escrow Account and the Sellers’ Agent shall execute joint written notice to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release such Damages to Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of this Section 11, any Tax shall also be attributable to a period ending before the Closing Date, if such Tax relates to incorrect Tax balance sheets for periods starting prior to the Closing Date which have been corrected (Bilanzberichtung) with effect to Tax periods ending after the Closing Date due to expiration of the statute of limitation. The Escrow Account shall not be available for indemnification payment for any Damages suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees, or to which the Indemnitees have otherwise become subject, to the extent such Damages are accounted for in a specific reserve set forth in the financials used to calculate the Acquired Companies Working Capital.

The amount of Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Date Straddle Tax Period shall be the amount of Tax to which the Acquired Companies would be liable if the Pre-Closing Date Straddle Tax Period were a separate taxation period. To the extent Purchaser reasonably determines that any Tax is not susceptible to allocation in accordance with the foregoing (including without limitation year end valuation effects), it shall be allocated on a pro rata temporis basis.

Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax returns for the Acquired Companies for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date that are due (including extensions) after the Closing Date and for any Straddle Tax Period. Purchaser shall (i) submit such Tax returns to Sellers’ Agent for

- 72 -

review and comment at least ten Business Days prior to their filing; and (ii) make any timely comments requested by Sellers’ Agent in good faith, provided such comments are (A) consistent with past practice and applicable Legal Requirement; and (B) could not reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact any of the Acquired Companies or Purchaser (or any Affiliate) in each case, as reasonably determined in reasonable discretion of the Purchaser.

11.4 Tax Assessments and Tax Audits

Purchaser shall procure that Sellers’ Agent is informed within 20 Business Days after the initiation by a Tax Authority of any tax assessments (Steuerbescheide) or tax audits (Betriebsprüfungen) which may give rise to a claim of Purchaser under Section 11.2 (“Tax Claims”); provided, however, that a failure by Purchaser to provide notice of a Tax Claim within such 20 Business Days period shall not entitle the Sellers to reduce the amount of the liability required to be paid pursuant to Section 11.2 unless such failure results in a material detriment to the Sellers, in which case the amount the Sellers are required to pay with respect to such liability shall only be reduced by the amount of such detriment. Purchaser shall procure that Sellers’ Agent is provided with all relevant documents and other information reasonably requested by Sellers’ Agent to evaluate the Tax Claims and the potential liability of Sellers in connection therewith. Purchaser and Sellers’ Agent may each participate in a Tax Claim, at their own expense, and the Tax Claim shall be controlled by Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser (a) shall not settle such Tax Claim without the consent of Sellers’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (b) shall keep Sellers’ Agent timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Claim.

11.5	Cooperation

Purchaser and Sellers’ Agent shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax returns and any audit, examination, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding. Each of Purchaser and Sellers’ Agent agrees, upon request of the other Party, to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax Authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder).

- 73 -

11.6 Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, controversy, or claim between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers’ Agent, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Agreement that relates to Taxes or any Tax returns that cannot be resolved by negotiations between Purchaser and Sellers’ Agent shall be submitted to a senior tax partner in a mutually agreeable internationally recognized accounting firm for resolution (“Tax Arbitrator”). The resolution reached by the Tax Arbitrator shall be binding on the Acquired Companies, Sellers’ Agent, the Sellers, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. The expenses of the Tax Arbitrator shall be borne by Purchaser and the Sellers in such proportions as the Tax Arbitrator considers to be fair and reasonable in all circumstances to resolve the dispute.

11.7	Limitations

Any claims of Purchaser under Section 11.2 shall be time-barred after the later of (a) the end of the applicable statute of limitations in accordance with the German General Tax Code (Abgabenordung); or (b) three months after the ultimate final and binding assessment (letzte und endgültige bestandskräftige Festsetzung) of the relevant Tax became final and non appealable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the limitations on Purchaser’s rights to indemnification set forth in Section 10 shall not apply to this Section 11. If there is any conflict between the provisions of Section 11 and another provision of this Agreement, Section 11 shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Sellers to compensate the Company, Purchaser or other Indemnitees for any Damage more than once.

11.8	338 Election

For U.S. tax purposes, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are intended to qualify as a “qualified stock purchase” within the meaning of Section 338(d) of the Code (and any similar provisions of state, local or other applicable law) and none of the Sellers (or their Affiliates) will take a contrary position on any Tax return. The Purchaser and its Affiliates may, at the Purchaser’s sole discretion, make an election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code (and any similar provisions of state, local or other applicable law) with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies. If required, Sellers and Sellers’ Agent will provide reasonable cooperation with the making of such elections.

12.14

Invalid Provisions, Unintended Gaps (Salvatorische Klausel)

In the event that one or more provisions of this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

The same shall apply: (i) if the Parties have, unintentionally, failed to address a certain matter in this Agreement (unbeabsichtigte Vertragslücken); in this case a suitable and equitable provision shall be deemed to have been agreed upon which reflects what the Parties, in the light of the economic intent and purpose of this Agreement, would have agreed upon if they had considered the matter; or (ii) if any provision of this Agreement is invalid because of the scope of any time period or performance stipulated herein; in this case a legally permissible time period or performance shall be deemed to have been agreed upon which comes as close as possible to the stipulated time period or performance.

In any case, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.

The same shall apply in the event that this Agreement contains any unintended gaps (unbeabsichtigte Vertragslücken).
