(i) Examination. After receipt of the Final Closing Date Statement, Seller shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Final Closing Date Statement. During the Review Period, Buyer shall grant Seller reasonable access to the books, records and work papers of the Company for the purpose of reviewing the Final Closing Date Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere in any material respect with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Final Closing Date Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections“). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Final Closing Date Statement and the calculations contained therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall be final and binding. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Final Closing Date Statement and the calculations contained therein, in each case with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller, shall be final and binding and shall not be subject to judicial review.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to one of PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, and Deloitte & Touche (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Final Closing Date Statement and the calculations contained therein. The Independent Accountant shall be a firm with no business ties to any of Seller, the Company, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates, within the past three (3) years, and shall be mutually agreed to and selected by Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality and that the items set forth on the Final Closing Date Statement shall be determined in accordance with the definitions and provisions of this Agreement. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Final Closing Date Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. Each of Buyer and Seller shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any materials related to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Independent Accountant; provided, however, that each such party will provide the other with copies of any materials provided to the Independent Accountant.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇, as determined by the Independent Accountant. For example, if Buyer claims that the Closing Working Capital is $1,000,000, Seller claims that the Closing Working Capital is $1,500,000, and the Independent Accountant determines that the Closing Working Capital is $1,200,000, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300,000 ÷ 500,000) to Seller and 40% (i.e., 200,000 ÷ 500,000) to Buyer.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to resolve the Disputed Amounts and make any adjustments to the Final Closing Date Statement and the calculations contained therein as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement; provided, however, that any delay on the part of the Independent Accountant shall not invalidate any resolutions or other determinations of the Independent Accountant in this regard or deprive the Independent Accountant of jurisdiction to resolve the disputes submitted to it pursuant to this Section 2.3. The Independent Accountant’s adjustments to the Final Closing Date Statement and the calculations contained therein shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to judicial review absent manifest error.

(c) Adjustment Payment. Within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Cash Payment becomes final and binding upon the Parties (whether as a result of Seller’s failure to object to the Final Closing Date Statement within the thirty (30) day period provided above, by mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer or by determination of the Independent Accountant), Seller shall pay to Buyer, or Buyer shall pay to Seller (if and as applicable), as follows:

(i) If the Final Closing Cash Payment is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Payment (the amount by which the Final Closing Cash Payment is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Payment will be referred to herein as the “Decrease Amount”), then, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Closing Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 2.3, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount of cash equal to the Decrease Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer to Seller for such purpose.

(ii) If the Final Closing Cash Payment is greater than the Estimated Closing Cash Payment (the amount by which the Final Closing Cash Payment is greater than the Estimated Closing Cash Payment will be referred to herein as the “Increase Amount”), then, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Closing Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 2.3, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount of cash equal to the Increase Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by Seller to Buyer for such purpose.

Section 2.4 Account Receivable.

Seller shall have the right to pursue the collection of the Uncollected Accounts Receivable prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation for collection of such funds. Seller’s collection of such accounts receivable shall be consistent with the past practices of the applicable Company, which include, among other things, commercially reasonable efforts not to injure any customer relationships of the Company or of the Business as it relates to Buyer after the Closing.

Section 2.5 Collection of Notes Receivable. From the Closing Date through the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Notes Receivable as and when amounts become due and payable thereunder. In the event Buyer is unable to collect any part of the Notes Receivable as and when amounts become due and payable thereunder (the “Uncollectible Notes Receivable”), then, at the discretion of Buyer, (1) the Working Capital shall be decreased by such amount of Uncollected Notes Receivable in determining the Post Closing Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.3(a), (2) the Uncollected Notes Receivable may be handled in a manner mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer, or (3)(i) Buyer shall assign the Uncollected Notes Receivable to Seller who shall be entitled to collect the Uncollected Notes Receivable for its sole benefit, and (ii) payment by Seller for such Uncollected Notes Receivable shall be made by Seller to Buyer (at the sole election of Buyer) by wire transfer in immediately available funds or offset of such amount against the Escrow Amount.

Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Seller or Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials. ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the Transactions).

The Special Indemnity and covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the period explicitly specified therein and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue in effect and expire in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

Section 9.2 Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing but excluding loss of profit and punitive damages except to the extent punitive damages are actually awarded to a Governmental Authority or other third party) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”), asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller and/or the Company ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV of this Agreement;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement by Seller and the Company in this Agreement;

(c) any Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses of the Company outstanding as of the Closing to the extent not deducted from the Purchase Price in the determination of the Closing Cash Payment pursuant to Section 2.2(a); and

(d) the claims and Actions set forth on Section 9.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedules, and any claims or Actions including any warranty or product liability claims or Actions, arising out of, based upon or relating to the Business or the Company for the periods prior to the Closing Date, whether or not incurred prior to the Closing Date (the “Special Indemnity”).

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in ARTICLE V of this Agreement; and

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement by Buyer in this Agreement.

Section 9.4 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (3) days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company if in the reasonable judgment of Indemnified Party (which may be asserted at any time) the Indemnifying Party's defense of such Third-Party Claim could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnified Party’s (or the Company’s) existing or prospective relationship with such supplier or customer, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 9.4(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.4(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 9.4(b)) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.4(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other

obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.4(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten (10) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 9.5 Tax Matters. Anything in this ARTICLE IX (except for the specific reference to Tax matters in Section 9.1) to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be governed by ARTICLE VII.

Section 9.6 Disclosure and Buyer’s Knowledge. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the Shares, the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Business and that, as part of such review and analysis, it has had the opportunity to conduct a commercial, accounting, financial, tax, employment, technical and legal due diligence exercise with reputable advisers, to hold interviews with Seller and the directors and managers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to raise such questions as it and its advisers have considered appropriate. In deciding to enter into this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements and to purchase and acquire the Shares on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Buyer has relied on its own analysis, evaluation and professional advice concerning the Shares, the Group and the Business. As a result thereof, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer under this Agreement in respect of any Losses to the extent that the relevant fact, circumstance or omission which is the subject matter of such claim was Disclosed as at the date of this Agreement in the Disclosed Information or (b) was actually known as at the date of this Agreement by Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or their officers, directors, managers, representatives or advisors (“Buyer’s Knowledge”).

Section 9.7 Limitations on Indemnification. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless the other in respect of any Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by such party under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as applicable, until such Losses, excluding the payment of the Purchase Price, equal or exceed Six Hundred Fifty Three Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($653,250) in the aggregate (the “Threshold”) (at which point such party will be obligated to indemnify the other for the amount of such Losses from the first dollar) and neither Seller nor Buyer shall be obligated to indemnify the other for the amount of any Losses as a result of any breach or breaches under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as applicable, in excess of Six Million Five Hundred Thirty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($6,532,500) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Threshold and Cap shall not apply to any Losses resulting from (i) fraud on the part of such party, or (ii) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations; provided further, however, that nothing in this Section 9.6 shall limit the obligation of Seller to indemnify Buyer with respect to the items set forth in Section 9.2(b), Section 9.2(c) and Section 9.2(d) or the obligation of Buyer to indemnify Seller with respect to the items set forth in Section 9.3(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum liability of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, for the payment of Losses shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

Section 9.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, it is the intention of the parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the purchase price for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

Section 9.9 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 2.3 (which shall govern any Closing Working Capital disputes in accordance with the dispute mechanism set forth therein), the remedies provided in this ARTICLE IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto and their heirs, successors and assigns after the Closing with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions including, without limitation, any breach or non-performance of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, in which case the aggrieved party shall have all rights and remedies available under this Agreement and available under Law against the other party, and the limitations contained in this ARTICLE IX shall not apply with respect to fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. After the Closing, subject to the foregoing, this ARTICLE IX will provide the exclusive remedy against Seller for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the Transactions. Nothing in this Section 9.9 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.
