STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of March 7, 2012, by and among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hydrocarbons Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), TFI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Green Fuel Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in ARTICLE 10 below.

WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company, which as of the date hereof consists of (and as of the Closing shall consist of) one thousand (1,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (collectively, the “Shares”); and

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Buyer desires to acquire from Seller all of the Shares, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer all of such Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations and warranties and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.01 Purchase and Sale of Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from Seller, all of the Shares owned by Seller, free and clear of all Liens, in exchange for the payment by Buyer to Seller of cash and stock as provided in this Agreement.

1.02 Closing and Final Consideration.

(a) Purchase Price. As consideration for the acquisition of the Shares at Closing, Buyer shall pay Seller an amount equal to the Closing Consideration plus the Escrow Amount, plus amounts paid pursuant to Section 1.05 (as adjusted for Final Net Working Capital, calculated, credited and payable as set forth below, the “Purchase Price”).

(b) Closing Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Consideration” means an amount equal to: (i) Two Hundred Forty-Five Million Dollars ($245,000,000); minus (ii) the outstanding amount of Indebtedness as of the Closing (payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.05(a) below); minus (iii) the amount of Company Transaction Expenses unpaid as of the Closing (payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.05(b) below); plus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target; minus (v) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target; minus (vi) the Escrow Amount, payable as set forth in Section 1.02(c) below; plus (vii) Nine Hundred Five Thousand Ten Dollars and 83/100 ($905,010.83) (the “Add-On Acquisition Amount”) in respect of costs relating to the Add-On Acquisition.

-1-

(i) Buyer shall deliver to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Closing Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing; and

(ii) In addition to the payment under Section 1.02(c)(i), at the Closing, Buyer shall contribute on behalf of Seller a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (A) the Escrow Amount, divided by (B) the Closing Date Stock Price (such shares, the “Escrow Shares”), to the Escrow Agent to hold under the Escrow Agreement, which Escrow Shares shall be issued under a valid private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) promulgated under the Securities Act.

(d) Estimated Net Working Capital. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Company shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding its preparation of the calculation of Net Working Capital pursuant to this Section 1.02(d), and shall consider in good faith any comments made by Buyer with respect thereto. Within five (5) Business Days, but in no event less than three (3) Business Days, prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer its final good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), which amount shall increase or decrease, as applicable, the Purchase Price at Closing.

(e) Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as possible, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller: (A) an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiary as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and (B) its calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, in each case duly certified by Buyer as setting forth Buyer’s good faith determination of the information set forth therein, and together, in each case, with reasonable supporting documentation (together, the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the definition of the term “Net Working Capital” set forth in this Agreement and under GAAP, as applicable. The Closing Statement shall disregard: (x) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiary as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (y) any of the plans, transactions or changes which Buyer intends to initiate or make, or cause to be initiated or made, after the Closing with respect to the Company and its Subsidiary or their respective businesses or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or liabilities.

-2-

(ii) Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiary shall grant Seller and its authorized representatives reasonable access to all such papers and documents and all such personnel as it or its representatives may reasonably request, and Seller shall have up to sixty (60) days after receiving the Closing Statement to review the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”); provided that, in the event Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiary does not provide, in all material respects, any papers or documents or access to personnel reasonably requested by Seller or any of its authorized representatives within five (5) Business Days of request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in the Review Period), the Review Period shall be extended by five (5) Business Days plus one (1) Business Day for each additional day required for Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiary to so respond to such request.

(iii) To the extent that Seller confirms its acceptance of the Closing Statement within the Review Period or has not objected in writing to the calculation of Net Working Capital on the Closing Statement by the end of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the calculation of Net Working Capital thereon as prepared by Buyer shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto.

(iv) If Seller has any objections to the Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement (an “Objections Statement”) describing in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Seller objects (the “Disputed Items”). Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Buyer, Seller and Buyer shall submit any unresolved Disputed Items to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”); provided that, if PWC is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, Seller and Buyer shall submit any unresolved Disputed Items to an alternative mutually agreed upon independent accounting or valuation firm of national reputation (PWC or such alternative firm, the “Firm”). Each party may furnish to the Firm such information and documents as it deems relevant, with copies of such submission and all such documents and information being concurrently given to the other party. Seller and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Firm to resolve such unresolved Disputed Items and notify them in writing of such resolution as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Firm is first retained. In resolving any disputed item, the Firm shall resolve each item of disagreement based solely on the supporting material provided by Buyer and Seller and not pursuant to an independent review, and may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Party, in each case presented to the Firm. The decision of the Firm regarding each of the Disputed Items shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Firm. The fees and expenses of the Firm shall be borne on a proportionate basis by Buyer and Seller based on the inverse proportion of the respective percentages of the dollar value of Disputed Items determined in favor of Buyer and Seller, respectively. Seller and Buyer shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiary to, cooperate fully with the Firm and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Firm, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all

-3-

Disputed Items as promptly as reasonably practicable. Once all Disputed Items are resolved, the calculation of the Net Working Capital on the Closing Statement shall be adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect (A) any resolution of Disputed Items as agreed between Buyer and Seller; and/or (B) any determination of Disputed Items by the Firm, and the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Net Working Capital thereon (in each case, as so adjusted) shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto.

(v) If the Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.02(e) (the “Final Net Working Capital”) is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital by more than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Collar Amount”), then the amount of such difference shall be an adjustment in favor of Seller, payable as set forth in Section 1.02(e)(vi) below. Alternatively, if the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital by more than the Collar Amount, then the amount of such difference shall be an adjustment in favor of Buyer, payable as set forth in Section 1.02(e)(vi) below.

(vi) If the aggregate net difference between the Final Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital results in a net amount payable to Seller pursuant to Section 1.02(e)(v), then Buyer shall pay such net amount to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If the aggregate net difference between the Final Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital results in a net amount payable to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.02(e)(v), then Seller shall pay such net amount to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(vii) All payments required pursuant to this Section 1.02(e) shall be deemed to be adjustments, for Tax purposes, to the aggregate Purchase Price paid by Buyer for the Shares purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement.

1.03 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, on the third (3rd) Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in ARTICLE 2 hereof (other than those which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), or on such other date as is mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller. The date of the Closing is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall be deemed to occur at, and the calculation of all Closing amounts to be made hereunder (including the Net Working Capital) shall be made as of, 12:01 a.m. Chicago time on the Closing Date.

1.04 Escrow Deposit. At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit the Escrow Amount (in the form of Escrow Shares) with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

1.05 Payoff of Indebtedness; Payment of Company Transaction Expenses.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiary, the amounts of Indebtedness indicated in the payoff letters delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(g)(viii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons or bank accounts specified in such payoff letters.

-4-

(b) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiary, the Company Transaction Expenses specified on Schedule 1.05(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons or bank accounts specified on such Schedule.

-8-

3.05 Securities Matters.

(a) Seller is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. With respect to the Escrow Shares, Seller understands that the Escrow Shares issuable hereunder are being offered and sold in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that Parent is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and Seller’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understanding of Seller set forth in this Section 3.05 in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Seller to acquire the Escrow Shares to be acquired, or that may be acquired, hereunder.

(b) Seller and its advisors have had access, through ▇▇▇▇▇, to copies of each report, registration statement and definitive proxy statement filed by Parent with the SEC and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Parent regarding Parent and the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller understands that its investment in the shares of Parent Common Stock being issued, or issuable, hereunder involves a high degree of risk. Seller has sought such accounting, legal and Tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of shares of Parent Common Stock that may be acquired hereunder. Seller understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other Governmental Body has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable hereunder, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in Parent Common Stock, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of Parent Common Stock contemplated hereby.

(c) Seller does not presently have any present agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the shares of Parent Common Stock that may be received hereunder in a transaction that would violate the Securities Act or any state securities Laws.

(d) Seller understands that the Escrow Shares issued hereunder have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities Laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (i) subsequently registered thereunder or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from such registration, including pursuant to Rule 144 (or a successor rule thereto), and that neither Parent nor any other Person is under any obligation to register such shares of Parent Common Stock under the Securities Act or any state securities Laws. Seller further understands and acknowledges that Escrow Shares issued to it at Closing pursuant to Section 1.02 will be placed into the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms and conditions herein and in the Escrow Agreement and that, except as expressly provided for herein or in the Escrow Agreement (including without limitation Section 9.04(c) hereof), Seller may not sell, assign or transfer the Escrow Shares during the term of the Escrow Agreement.

(e) Seller understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Escrow Shares issuable hereunder will bear a restrictive legend as set forth below and an additional legend indicating the certificates are subject to the holding period restrictions of Section 3.05(d) above, and that a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates; provided that any such legend shall be removed and Parent shall issue a certificate

-9-

without legend to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock at Parent’s cost and expense, if (i) such shares of Parent Common Stock are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, Parent receives an opinion of counsel, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of such shares of Parent Common Stock may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and state Law, including pursuant to Rule 144; provided further that, after the expiration of the holding period applicable pursuant to Rule 144, the legend indicating that the certificates are subject to restrictions thereof shall be removed and Parent shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock at Parent’s cost and expense, as and when requested by Seller.

(f) Seller understands that, except as provided in Section 3.05(e), all certificates or other instruments representing the Escrow Shares issuable hereunder shall bear the following restrictive legends:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG TFI HOLDINGS, INC., GREEN FUEL SERVICES, LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ HYDROCARBONS HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ CORPORATION, DATED MARCH 7, 2012. THE CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED WITH THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., AS ESCROW AGENT. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE SECRETARY OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ CORPORATION.

Buyer, Parent or Seller, as applicable, on or before the date that is the earlier of: (i) thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012; or (ii) April 15, 2013 (such date, as applicable, the “Survival Date”), it being understood that so long as such claim for indemnification arises and such written notice is given on or prior to the Survival Date, such representations and warranties shall continue to survive with respect to such specific claim for indemnification until such claim is resolved.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 9.01(a), there shall be no time limitation with respect to any claim arising out of any breach of any of the Fundamental Representations.

9.02 Indemnification of Buyer.

(a) From and after the Closing, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 9, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company), and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Buyer Indemnitees”), from and against and all liabilities, obligations, deficiencies, demands, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, assessments, fines, forfeitures, civil penalties, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees to the extent such Losses result from or arise out of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or the Company contained in ARTICLE 3 or ARTICLE 4 of this Agreement, or any certificate delivered in connection herewith (with Losses resulting from or arising out of such breach (other than in the first sentence of each of Section 4.07 and 4.20 and in the defined term “Material Contract”) being calculated for purposes of this ARTICLE 9 without regard to any qualification of “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Change” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualification contained in such representations and warranties); (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller or (prior to Closing) by the Company; (iii) any and all Pre-Closing Taxes; or (iv) any Indebtedness or any Company Transaction Expenses that are not taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Consideration.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, even if a Buyer Indemnitee would otherwise be entitled to indemnification for a Loss pursuant to this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification for such Loss pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i) (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations, for which the Deductible shall not apply), Section 9.02(a)(ii) (other than the covenants under Sections 1.02(e) (Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment), 9.04(d) (Escrow Shares Purchase Price Adjustments) and the last sentence of Section 9.11(f) (Refunds), to which the Deductible shall not apply) or Section 9.02(a)(iii) of this Agreement, until the aggregate amount of all Losses eligible for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent Losses suffered by Buyer Indemnities exceed the Deductible. All payments under this Section 9.02 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds received by Seller pursuant to ARTICLE 1.

-35-

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 9.02(a) (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations and other than the covenants under Sections 1.02(e) (Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment), 9.04(d) (Escrow Shares Purchase Price Adjustments) and the last sentence of Section 9.11(f) (Refunds)) (collectively, the “Limited Claims”) shall be effected solely by a payment made from the Escrow Funds, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and such payments shall not exceed the Escrow Funds available on any given payment date. If and to the extent that the Escrow Funds are insufficient to cover the Limited Claims, the Buyer Indemnitees’ right to indemnification for the uncovered portion is extinguished. Any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees in respect of Fundamental Representations shall not exceed that portion of the Purchase Price actually received by Seller, and shall be payable first from Escrow Funds, to the extent that there are any remaining Escrow Funds available for indemnification, but not limited thereby. Any payment required to be made by Seller to Buyer under Sections 1.02(e) (Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment), 9.04(d) (Escrow Shares Purchase Price Adjustments) or the last sentence of Section 9.11(f) (Refunds) shall not be required to come from the Escrow Funds but shall be the direct financial obligation of Seller.

Where permitted by Environmental Laws, Buyer shall employ risk-based standards and institutional controls in connection with any corrective or remedial action. Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify any of the Buyer Indemnitees or the Company with respect to any environmental corrective or remedial action arising from (A) any conditions of contamination identified through any environmental sampling or analysis, or (B) any report to any Governmental Body, in either case which is not: (i) affirmatively required by Environmental Laws; (ii) required in connection with due diligence requirements of any Person providing the Buyer with financing for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any refinancing thereof and taking a security interest in any applicable site (after diligent efforts by Buyer to obtain a waiver of any such requirement); (iii) precipitated by Buyer’s reasonable determination as communicated to Seller in writing that an environmental condition exists or likely exists which would present a risk of material harm to human health, violate applicable Environmental Laws or require remediation under any applicable Environmental Laws; (iv) required in connection with any lease arrangement affecting any applicable property; or (v) reasonably necessary in response to an unsolicited third-party claim.

9.03 Indemnification of Seller. From and after the Closing, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 9, Buyer shall indemnify Seller, its members, its and their Affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from any Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnitees to the extent such Losses arise from or relating to: (i) a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer or Parent contained in this Agreement, or any certificate delivered in connection herewith; (ii) a breach of any covenant or agreement by Buyer or Parent contained in this Agreement requiring performance by Buyer or Parent prior to the Closing or by Buyer, Parent or the Company and its Subsidiary after the Closing; or (iii) the operation of the business of the Company or its Subsidiary following the Closing or actions taken by Buyer or the Company or its Subsidiary at (after the Company is owned by Buyer) or after the Closing. All payments under this Section 9.03 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds received by Seller pursuant to ARTICLE 1.

9.04 Escrow.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Escrow Amount in the form of the Escrow Shares shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to satisfy claims related to Losses suffered by Buyer Indemnities. After the Survival Date, other than to the extent that there are pending claims for any Losses suffered by Buyer Indemnities, the Escrow Amount then remaining in the Escrow Account shall be released from the Escrow Account (if there are pending claims for Losses suffered by Buyer Indemnities then only such portion of the Escrow Amount in excess of such pending claims for Losses shall be released from the Escrow Account).

(b) To the extent the Escrow Funds are held in Parent Common Stock at the time any payment is due for Losses suffered by Buyer Indemnities, the amount of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to release from the Escrow Fund to cover any Losses suffered by Buyer Indemnities shall be satisfied by releasing a number of Escrow Shares to Buyer determined by dividing the amount of such Losses by the Closing Date Closing Price.

(c) In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, at such time as Seller has satisfied the six (6)-month holding period requirement of Rule 144 with respect to the Escrow Shares: subject to the obligations of Seller set forth in this Section 9.04(c), the Escrow Shares shall be transferable by Seller pursuant to Rule 144, provided that (i) to the extent such Escrow Shares are held in the Escrow Account and still subject to being used to satisfy indemnification claims of the Buyer Indemnitees in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, Seller shall not sell any Escrow Shares (x) without the consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (y) if the Parent Common Stock Sale Price to be received for such Escrow Shares in connection with such sale is less than the Closing Date Stock Price; (ii) Seller shall use its best efforts to arrange for such Escrow Shares to be sold through a registered broker-dealer reasonably acceptable to Parent, and Parent shall use its best efforts to assist and support Seller in connection with such sales (including without limitation providing to Seller all reasonably requested documentation and opinions with respect to such open market transactions); and (iii) the Escrow Shares shall not be released from the Escrow Account in connection with such transactions unless (x) all net proceeds received in respect of such Escrow Shares equal to the Closing Date Stock Price are concurrently deposited with the Escrow Agent into the Escrow Account, and (y) net proceeds in excess of the Closing Date Stock Price (if any) received in respect of such Escrow Shares is promptly delivered to Buyer.

-37-

(d) Escrow Shares Purchase Price Adjustments.

(i) With respect to any Escrow Shares sold after such Escrow Shares are no longer held in the Escrow Account to satisfy indemnification claims of the Buyer Indemnitees in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, in the event that the Parent Common Stock Sale Price for such shares is less than the Closing Date Stock Price, then Parent agrees to pay Seller within five (5) Business Days after Seller provides Parent with evidence of the completion of such sales, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the Closing Price Spread multiplied by (y) the number of Escrow Shares sold by Seller. With respect to any Escrow Shares sold after such Escrow Shares are no longer held in the Escrow Account, in the event that the Parent Common Stock Sale Price for such shares is greater than the Closing Date Stock Price, Seller agrees to pay Buyer within five (5) Business Days after the completion of such sales, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the Closing Price Spread multiplied by (B) the number of Escrow Shares sold by Seller.

(ii) If Parent shall fail to pay any amount payable to Seller under Section 9.04(d)(i), then, in addition to any other rights and remedies Seller may have at law or in equity, such amount shall thereafter, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, bear interest, compounding daily, at an interest rate of 10.00% per annum.

(iii) In the event that Parent breaches Section 9.04(d)(i), then, in addition to any other rights or remedies Seller may have at law or in equity, Parent shall pay, and hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from, all Losses, costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the collection or enforcement of Section 9.04(d)(i).

9.05 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) In order for a party to be entitled to seek any indemnification provided for under this Agreement (such party, the “Claiming Party”), in respect of a claim or demand made against the Claiming Party by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Claiming Party must notify the party to this Agreement that is or may be required to provide indemnification hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim (the “Defending Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim as promptly as reasonably possible but in any event within fifteen (15) days after receipt by such Claiming Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim (or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Defending Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to and defend such Third-Party Claim); provided that any delay or failure in giving such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Defending Party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Claiming Party shall deliver to the Defending Party, within five (5) business days after the Claiming Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Claiming Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

-38-

(b) The Defending Party shall have the right upon written notice to the Claiming Party within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Claiming Party of notice of such claim, to conduct at the sole cost and expense of the Defending Party the defense against such claim; provided that before the Defending Party assumes control of such defense it must first agree and acknowledge in such notice that the Defending Party is fully responsible (subject to the limitations of Section 9.02) for all Losses relating to such Third-Party Claim (a “Control Notice”); provided further that the Defending Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense if the Third-Party Claim; (i) seeks non-monetary relief (except where non-monetary relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary damages); (ii) involves criminal allegations; (iii) is one in which the Defending Party is also a party and joint representation would, as determined in each case by the Claiming Party based on advice of outside counsel, be inappropriate or there may be legal defenses available to the Claiming Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Defending Party; (iv) involves a claim which, upon petition by the Claiming Party, the appropriate court rules that the Defending Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend; or (v) is with respect to Taxes (which shall be governed by Section 9.11(e)). In the event that the Defending Party validly delivers a Control Notice, the Claiming Party will reasonably cooperate, at the sole cost and expenses of the Defending Party, with and make reasonably available to the Defending Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by it, and the Claiming Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. Whether or not the Defending Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Claiming Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, and shall not have the right to compromise, settle, discharge or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Defending Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party, the Defending Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third-Party Claim or consent to entry of judgment with respect to such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or consent, (x) injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Claiming Party, or (y) such settlement or consent would lead to liability or create any financial obligation on the part of the Claiming Party for which the Claiming Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder (other than to the extent of the Deductible). If an offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim, which offer the Defending Party is permitted to settle under this Section 9.05(b) only upon the prior written consent of the Claiming Party, and the Defending Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Defending Party will give prompt written notice to the Claiming Party to that effect. If the Claiming Party does not consent to such firm offer within twenty (20) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Claiming Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Defending Party as to such Third-Party Claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, plus costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Claiming Party through the date such settlement offer is given to the Claiming Party to the extent such amount is otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

9.06 Mitigation. The Indemnified Parties shall take all actions required by applicable Law to mitigate their Losses which are Indemnifiable hereunder. In the event that a Defending Party makes any payment to a Claiming Party for indemnification for which the Claiming Party could have collected on a claim against a third party (including under any contract and any insurance claims), the Defending Party shall be entitled to pursue claims and conduct litigation on behalf of the Claiming Party and any of its successors to pursue and collect

-39-

on any indemnification or other remedy available to the Claiming Party thereunder with respect to such claim and generally to be subrogated to the rights of the Claiming Party. Except pursuant to a settlement agreed to by the Defending Party (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Claiming Party shall not voluntarily waive or release any contractual right to recover from a third party any loss subject to indemnification hereby without the prior written consent of the Defending Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Claiming Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiary, if applicable) to, cooperate with the Defending Party, at the Defending Party’s expense, with respect to any such effort to pursue and collect with respect thereto.

9.07 Determination of Loss Amount.

(a) Losses for breaches of representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be net of any insurance proceeds or third-party payments actually received by and paid to the Claiming Party in each case net of costs and expenses incurred in procuring such recovery and any retro premium adjustments, increases in premium, deductibles or other costs directly related thereto. In the event that any such insurance or other recovery is actually received by any Claiming Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Claiming Party has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate net amount of such recovery or the indemnification payment, whichever is less, shall be made promptly to the Defending Party.

(b) Absent actual fraud, in no event shall any Party be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of consequential, incidental or indirect damages or punitive damages, except to the extent such damages are awarded against the indemnified party in a Third-Party Claim, and, in particular, no “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or other valuation methodology shall be used in calculating the amount of any Losses. In addition, in no event shall a Defending Party be liable hereunder in respect of any claim if such claim would not have arisen but for a change in legislation or accounting policies or a change in interpretation of applicable Law as determined by a court or pursuant to an administration rule-making decision. Furthermore, the Buyer Indemnitees shall have no right to make a claim for any Loss to the extent it is primarily a possible or potential Loss that the Buyer Indemnitees believes may be asserted rather than a Loss that has, in fact, been paid or incurred by or asserted against the Buyer Indemnitees.

(c) No Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to any indemnification under this ARTICLE 9 to the extent: (i) such matter was specifically taken into account in determining the Closing Consideration or the Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.02, (ii) that there is included in the Closing Statement a specific liability relating to such matter, (iii) such matter would not have arisen but for any act, omission, transaction or election on the part of or carried out by any Buyer Indemnitee or its Affiliates or (iv) to the extent that Buyer is determined to not be entitled to indemnification based on a breach of Section 5.12. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, indemnification for breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.09 (Tax Matters) shall be limited to Losses incurred with respect to Pre-Closing Periods and any portion of the Straddle Periods ending on the Closing Date (determined in accordance with Section 9.11(d)).

-40-

9.08 Tax Benefits.

(a) To the extent that a Claiming Party actually received Tax Benefits as a result of any Loss for which an indemnification payment has been made, such party shall pay the amount of such Tax Benefits (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Defending Party with respect to such Loss) to the Defending Party as such Tax Benefits are actually received by the Claiming Party. For purposes of the foregoing, “Tax Benefit” means any refund of Taxes paid or any reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would have been paid, calculated on a with and without basis. Where a party has other items of loss, deduction or credit available to it, the item of Tax Benefit attributable to the loss underlying the indemnity claim shall be deemed to be used by such party proportionately with such other items in determining when the Tax Benefit attributable to the loss underlying the indemnity claim is realized by such party. A Tax Benefit shall be actually received upon the receipt of a refund of Taxes paid or the filing of a Tax Return, including an estimated Tax Return, showing a Tax Benefit (or, if later, the date when such a Tax Return should have been timely filed, including properly obtained extensions).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Tax Benefit shall be required to be paid by an indemnified party to an indemnitor pursuant to this Section 9.08(b) to the extent such Tax Benefit has not been actually realized prior to the fifth taxable year following the taxable year that the deduction or loss relating to the Loss that gave rise to indemnification hereunder was generated.

9.09 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.09 the provisions of this ARTICLE 9 constitute the sole and exclusive remedies for recovery of Losses or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and Buyer and Parent waive and release Seller from any and all other remedies, including without limitation any arising under CERCLA or any other Environmental Laws or otherwise relating to environmental, health or safety matters. The provisions of this Section 9.09 shall not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action hereunder with respect to (i) actual fraud; (ii) disputes under Section 1.02(e) (Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment) (which disputes under Section 1.02(e) will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth therein); (iii) amounts payable by Parent to Seller, or Seller to Parent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 1.02(e) (Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment) or Section 9.04(d) (Escrow Shares Purchase Price Adjustments) (which Seller or Parent shall enforce pursuant to Section 1.02(e) or Section 9.04(d), as applicable); (iv) amounts payable from Seller to Parent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9.11(f) (Refunds); or (v) to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or to obtain other equitable remedies with respect hereto.

9.10 Acknowledgement by Buyer.

(a) Each of Buyer and Parent acknowledges that it has conducted, to its satisfaction, an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and its Subsidiary and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Buyer and Parent has relied on the results of its own independent

-41-

investigation and verification, in addition to the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement. SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE COMPANY AND SELLER CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND SELLER TO BUYER AND PARENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND EACH OF BUYER AND PARENT UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY RELATING TO THE FUTURE OR HISTORICAL FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, ASSETS OR LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY OR TO ANY ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY MATTERS) ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED BY THE COMPANY AND SELLER AND ARE NOT BEING RELIED UPON BY EITHER BUYER OR PARENT OR ANY OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES.

(b) No Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 for any Loss or other amount that the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer, and the Buyer Indemnitees shall have no remedies under this ARTICLE 9 with respect to (i) the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any other matter relating to the Company or its Subsidiary prior to the Closing, the operation of their respective businesses prior to the Closing, or any other transaction or state of facts involving the Company or its Subsidiary prior to the Closing (including any common law or statutory rights or remedies for environmental, health or safety matters, including under CERCLA), other than remedies payable from the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 9.02, which are the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedies with respect thereto. The Buyer Indemnitees may not avoid such limitation on liability by seeking damages for breach of contract or tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived. EACH OF BUYER AND PARENT, ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER INDEMNITEES, EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF A RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH OF BUYER AND PARENT, ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER INDEMNITEES, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH OF BUYER AND PARENT, ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER INDEMNITEES, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.

9.11 Tax Matters. The provisions of this Section 9.11 shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and the Company on the one hand, and Seller on the other hand, for certain Tax matters following the Closing:

(a) Cooperation. Seller, Buyer and the Company shall cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in preparing and filing Tax Returns, and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or audit or litigation and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional

-42-

information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiary to, retain and maintain such records and information until the later of (i) six (6) years following the Closing Date; and (ii) the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax for which such records or information relate, and allow Seller (and its agents and representatives of Seller) to inspect, review and make copies of such records and information as the Stockholders or its agents and representatives of Seller reasonably request from time to time during normal business hours and after appropriate prior notification. Buyer. Seller and the Company further agree, upon request, to use reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby).

(b) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns of the Company and Its Subsidiary.

(i) Buyer shall, at Buyer’s cost and expense, prepare, or cause to be prepared all Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of each of the Company and its Subsidiary which have not yet been filed as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall also prepare or cause to be prepared, at Buyer’s cost and expense, all Straddle Period Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of each of the Company and its Subsidiary.

At Seller’s request, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in obtaining any such refunds for which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 9.11(f), including through the filing of amended Tax Returns or refund claims as prepared by Seller, at Seller’s expense; provided, however, that any such amended Tax Return shall be prepared by Seller, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered drafts of any such amended Tax Return to Buyer for its review prior to the time such amended Tax Return may be filed and any such amended Tax Return shall be subject to the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided, further, that Buyer shall not be required to cooperate with Seller in obtaining such refunds (or, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, consent to the filing of such amended Tax Return) if such refund could reasonably be expected to materially effect Buyer, the Company or the Company’s Subsidiary (or any of their respective Affiliates) in any Straddle Period (relating to the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date) or Post-Closing Period. To the extent that Buyer has paid a Tax refund to Seller, and all or a portion of such Tax refund has subsequently been determined to be due and owed to a Governmental Body under the procedures of Section 9.11(e) or otherwise, Seller shall return to Buyer such amounts of such refund which have been determined to be due and owed to such Governmental Body.

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

11.05 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

11.06 No Strict Construction; Disclosure Schedules. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The disclosure schedules attached to this Agreement have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately titled sections corresponding to sections of this Agreement; provided, however, that each section of the disclosure schedules shall be deemed to incorporate by reference information disclosed in any other section of the disclosure schedules to the extent that the application thereof is reasonably apparent. Capitalized terms used in the disclosure schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the disclosure schedules attached hereto is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including, without limitation, whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the disclosure schedules in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any disclosure schedule is or is not required to be disclosed (including, without limitation, whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement and in the disclosure schedules hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including, without limitation, any violation of Law or breach of contract).

11.07 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or the disclosure schedules or Exhibits hereto may be amended only in a writing signed by Buyer, the Company and Seller. No waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation or breach hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party making such waiver, and no such waiver shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach, misrepresentation or default.

-62-

11.08 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, including the disclosure schedules and Exhibits hereto, the Escrow Agreement and the other documents referred to herein (including the Confidentiality Agreement) contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

11.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.10 Governing Law. All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

11.11 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The parties to this Agreement submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Chicago, Illinois or the courts of the United States located in Chicago, Illinois in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith and by this Agreement waive, and agree not to assert, any defense, in any action for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement and any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith, that they are not subject thereto or that such action may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts or that their property is exempt or immune from execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the action is improper. Service of process with respect thereto may be made upon any party by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address as provided in Section 11.04.

11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) such party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (iv) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 11.12.

-63-

11.13 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No Person other than the parties hereto shall have any rights, remedies, or benefits under any provision of this Agreement, other than Sections 9.02 and 9.03 (to the extent provided therein), except for the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiary solely as expressly provided in Section 7.02.

11.14 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that, if any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other document contemplated by this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and, therefore, the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and thereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

11.15 Conflict Between Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement shall govern and control.

11.16 Release. Effective upon the Closing, except with respect to a claim (i) arising out of this Agreement or the other agreements contemplated hereby; or (ii) for indemnification under the Company’s organizational documents, so long as such claim for indemnification does not arise out of any matter indemnified under ARTICLE 9 of this Agreement, Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges each of the Company and its Subsidiary and each of their respective past and present directors, officers, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, equityholders, partners, insurers, and Affiliates (other than Seller and its equityholders) from any and all liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising prior to the Closing Date, in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, and Seller shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from the Company or its Subsidiary. Such released liabilities shall include, without limitation, any right to recover against the Company or its Subsidiary for any indemnification claims made against or paid directly or indirectly by Seller pursuant to ARTICLE 9. Seller understands that this is a full and final release of all claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities arising prior to the Closing Date of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, that could have been asserted in any legal or equitable proceeding against the Company or its Subsidiary, except as expressly set forth in this Section 11.16. To the extent permitted by Law, Seller expressly waives all rights afforded by any statute which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims in connection with the release expressly granted by this Section 11.16. Seller understands the significance of its release of unknown claims and its waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims.

11.17 Tax Benefit Amount. At the Closing, in addition to any amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.02, Buyer shall pay to Seller cash in an amount equal to the Tax Benefit Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing. Buyer shall deliver to Seller in reasonable detail its written calculation of any refund of Taxes paid, or any reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would have been paid, received by the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate as a result of the amounts included in the calculation of Tax Benefit Amount (the “Final Tax Benefit

-64-

Amount”). If the Tax Benefit Amount is greater than the Final Tax Benefit Amount by more than ten percent (10%), then the amount of such difference shall be an adjustment in favor of Buyer, payable by Seller to Buyer within thirty (30) days of delivery of the written calculation of such amount to Seller. Alternatively, if the Tax Benefit Amount is less than the Final Tax Benefit Amount by more than ten percent (10%), then the amount of such difference shall be an adjustment in favor of Seller, payable by Buyer to Seller within thirty (30) days of delivery of the written calculation of such amount to Seller. For purposes of the foregoing, a refund of Taxes paid, or any reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would have been paid, shall be received by the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate upon the receipt of a refund of Taxes paid or the filing of a Tax Return, including an estimated Tax Return, showing such refund or reduction in Taxes (or the date when such a Tax Return should have been timely filed, including properly obtained extensions).

11.18 Representation of Seller and its Affiliates. The parties agree that the fact that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may have represented the Company and its Affiliates prior to Closing shall not prevent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP from representing such Affiliates, or their respective equityholders, officers, or managers, in connection with any matters involving, including without limitation any disputes with, any of the parties to this Agreement after Closing. The parties agree to take the steps necessary to ensure that any privilege attaching as a result of legal counsel representing the Company or its Subsidiary in connection with this transaction will survive Closing, will be vested solely with Seller and will remain in effect.
