(b) The Escrow Amount shall be deposited by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the Escrow Agent and shall be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.06 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Closing Adjustment.

(i) At least three Business Days before the Closing, Scepter shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of Scepter as of the Effective Time (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) and a calculation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital, substantially in the form of Section 2.06(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”), and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Scepter that the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with ASPE applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, in all material respects, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end.

(ii) The “Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital minus CDN $17,763,000.00 (the “Target Working Capital”). If the Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Purchase Price amount to be paid at Closing shall be increased by the amount of the Closing Adjustment. If the Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Purchase Price amount to be paid at Closing shall be reduced by the amount of the Closing Adjustment.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) As soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Scepter a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, calculated in a manner consistent with the Estimated Closing Working Capital, which statement shall also contain a balance sheet of the Business as of the Effective Time (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Buyer that the Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with ASPE applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, in all material respects, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end.

(ii) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to Scepter an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Scepter shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Scepter shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Scepter and Scepter’s Accountants shall be provided with full access to and the right to review and copy the relevant books and records of Buyer, the personnel of, and the work papers prepared by,

Buyer and/or Buyer’s Accountants and full access to the personnel responsible for such books, records and work papers, in all cases to the extent that such books, records and work papers relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Scepter may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not materially or unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Scepter may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Scepter’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Scepter’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Scepter fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Scepter. If Scepter delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Scepter shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 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 Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Scepter, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Scepter 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” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of Deloitte LLP or, if Deloitte LLP is unable to serve, Buyer and Scepter shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Scepter’s Accountants or Buyer’s Accountants (the “Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The Parties agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants 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 Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. The terms of appointment and engagement of the Independent Accountants shall be as agreed upon between Buyer and Scepter based on reasonable and customary arrangements for such services, and any associated fees shall initially be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Scepter; provided such fees shall ultimately be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Scepter, on the

other hand, as follows: Scepter shall be responsible for a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of Buyer (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and Scepter’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants (that being the sum total by which Buyer’s determination and Scepter’s determination differ from the determination of the Independent Accountants). Buyer shall be responsible for that portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants that Scepter is not required to pay hereunder. Within ten (10) days of the Independent Accountants’ determination of the Disputed Amounts in accordance with this Section 2.06(c)(iv), each of Scepter and Buyer, as applicable shall pay the other the amount required so that the allocation for responsibility for the Independent Accountants’ fee is consistent with this Section 2.06(c)(iv).

(v) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall be requested to make a determination as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days (or such other time as the Parties shall agree in writing) after referral of the matter to such Independent Accountants, which determination must be in writing and must set forth in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. Buyer and Buyer’s Accountants shall each furnish to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Amounts, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as such Independent Accountants may reasonably request. The Independent Accountants’ resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall (A) be due (x) within five Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Scepter, as the case may be. Any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment owed by Scepter to Buyer shall be paid by the Escrow Agent from the Working Capital Escrow Amount pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment is owed by Scepter to Buyer and the Post-Closing Adjustment is larger than the Working Capital Escrow Amount, Scepter shall pay to Buyer the remainder of the Post-Closing Adjustment that was not paid from the Working Capital Escrow Amount, such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as directed by Buyer. In the event of any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment owing by Buyer to Scepter and there is a balance remaining of the Working Capital Escrow Amount after any Post-Closing Adjustment paid pursuant to the Eco One Purchase Agreement, forthwith upon such determination, the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall also be released in its entirety together with all accrued interest thereon by the Escrow Agent to Sellers and Buyer shall timely cooperate and provide any written authorization or direction to the Escrow Agent as prescribed under the Escrow Agreement to facilitate such release.

(vii) Conversion to US Dollars. For purposes of this Section 2.06, the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Adjustment, the Post-Closing Adjustment, and the Target Working Capital, all as initially determined in Canadian dollars, shall be converted to US dollars using the exchange rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(d) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.06 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.07 Allocation of Purchase Price. Sellers and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes as shown on the allocation schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Allocation Schedule”). Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.06 herein shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

The Buyer shall cause each Replacement Benefit Plan to:

waive any limitation of coverage of a Transferred Employee and unionized Employee (and his eligible dependents and beneficiaries) due to pre-existing conditions;

(iv)

give full credit to each Transferred Employee and unionized Employee in respect of all deductible payments and co-payments made by that Transferred Employee or unionized Employee, as the case may be, under the Benefit Plans until the Effective Time for the purpose of determining the extent to which such Transferred Employee or unionized Employee has satisfied his deductible and whether he has reached the out-of-pocket maximum under the comparable Replacement Benefit Plan, to the extent and in the manner that those deductibles and co-payments are recognized under the comparable Benefit Plan.

(g) The Sellers and the Benefit Plans shall remain liable for all obligations for benefit claims incurred under the Benefit Plans in respect of the Transferred Employees and the unionized Employees for the period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.05.

(h) At the request of a Transferred Employee or a unionized Employee, the Sellers and the Buyer shall facilitate the transfer of account balances of that Transferred Employee or unionized Employee under an Employee Plan in respect of that Transferred Employee or unionized Employee to the comparable Replacement Benefit Plan, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 6.07 Non-competition; Non-solicitation

(b) For the Restricted Period, Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any person who is offered employment by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.05(a) or is or was employed in the Business during the Restricted Period, or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.07(b) shall prevent Sellers or any of their Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by Buyer or (ii) after 180 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(c) Sellers acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.07 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Sellers of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to the Buyer in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Sellers acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.07 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.07 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or

service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.07 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all consents from, all third parties that are described in Section 4.03 of the Disclosure Schedules.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the Parties’ undertakings pursuant to subsection (a) above, each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to:

Section 6.11 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no Party shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and content of any such announcement.

Section 6.12 Bulk Sales Laws. The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario) and any other bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer, and the Sellers shall indemnify the Buyer from any liability arising by reason of the waiver of the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario), as set out more particularly in the Indemnification Agreement.

Buyer shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Sellers shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). Upon request of Sellers, Buyer shall furnish to Sellers proof of direct payment to the applicable Governmental Authority of the Taxes described in this Section. Buyer shall indemnify and save harmless Sellers from any amounts, including interest and penalties, that may be assessed against any Seller arising out of the failure of Buyer to pay, when due, any Taxes described in this Section.

Section 6.15 Change of Name. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, Scepter shall file articles of amendment and take all other action necessary or as may be requested by Buyer to change its name to one not including the name “Scepter.” Scepter shall provide to Buyer evidence of such name change.

The Buyer and Scepter shall elect jointly in the prescribed form under section 22 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and under any similar provision of any other applicable provincial legislation as to the sale of the Accounts Receivable forming part of the Purchased Assets and described in section 22 of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and shall in that election allocate an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to those assets pursuant to the Allocation Schedule as the consideration paid by the Buyer for those assets. The Buyer and Scepter shall file such election forms, along with any documentation necessary or desirable to give effect to such election, with CRA and any other appropriate provincial taxation authority within the prescribed time limits.

Section 6.17 Section 167 Election. Scepter shall jointly elect with the Buyer under subsection 167(1) of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and under any similar provision of any applicable provincial legislation imposing a similar value added or multi-staged tax, that no tax be payable with respect to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement. Scepter and the Buyer shall make those elections in prescribed form containing prescribed information and the Buyer shall file those elections in compliance with the requirements of applicable legislation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold each Seller harmless in respect of any such Taxes, penalties, interest and other amounts which may be assessed against the Sellers as a result of the transactions under this Agreement not being eligible for such elections or as a result of the Buyer’s failure to file such elections within the prescribed time.

Section 6.18 Subsection 20(24) Election. Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that Buyer has agreed to assume the Assumed Liabilities. To the extent that any Seller has received amounts in respect of services not rendered or goods not delivered, in each case prior to the Closing, the Purchased Assets having a fair market value equal to those amounts are transferred to Buyer as payment for Buyer’s agreement to assume a corresponding amount of the Assumed Liabilities relating to those services or goods and, if requested by Buyer, Buyer and Sellers shall jointly elect pursuant to subsection 20(24) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and under any similar provision of any applicable provincial legislation. The Parties shall file such election forms, along with any documentation necessary or desirable to give effect to such election, with CRA and any other appropriate taxation authority within the prescribed time periods.

Section 6.19 Section 56.4 Election. At the request of any Party and to the extent permitted by the Income Tax Act (Canada), the requested Parties and any other Person that is a party to any of the Non-Competition Agreements shall make and file any election or amended election in prescribed form (or such other form as a Party may reasonably request) and within the prescribed time limits pursuant to subsection 56.4(7) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and any analogous provision of provincial or territorial Tax legislation.

Section 6.20 Supplement of Schedules. From time to time after the date of this Agreement but in any event not later than the Closing Date, Sellers will supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules with respect to any matter existing before or occurring after the date of this Agreement that would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedules or which is necessary to correct any information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. If the information (the “Supplemental Information”) contained in such supplement or amended disclosure provided by Sellers to Buyer after the date hereof was existing on the date hereof, and failure to disclose such information resulted in a material breach of any representation or

warranty of Seller (the “Existing Matter Supplement”), Buyer shall have the right to either (a) immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Sellers or (b) consummate the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that if Buyer elects to proceed to Closing, the Existing Matter Supplement shall not be deemed to cure any breach of a representation and warranty made in this Agreement by Sellers and; provided, further, that Buyer shall retain all rights and remedies provided to it under this Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement with respect thereto, including the ability to bring a claim against Sellers pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement. If, on the other hand, the Supplemental Information was not existing on the date hereof (and, therefore, did not constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers, but arose after the date hereof), Buyer shall consummate the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to have been amended to include such Supplemental Information, unless such Supplemental Information is outside the ordinary course of business of Scepter and, if existing but not disclosed as of the date hereof, would have constituted a material breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers, in which case Buyer may terminate this Agreement without recourse against Sellers.

Section 6.21 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

The Sellers shall not be required to proceed first against the Buyer or any other Person or against any collateral security held by it before resorting to the Guarantor for payment pursuant to this Guarantee.

(b) Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee are continuing, unconditional and absolute, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged, diminished, limited or otherwise affected by (and the Guarantor hereby consents to or waives, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law):

(i) any extension, other indulgence, renewal, settlement, discharge, compromise, waiver, subordination or release in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, security, Person or otherwise;

(ii) any modification or amendment of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any increase or decrease in any amount thereof;

(iii) any change in the existence, structure, constitution, name, objects, powers, business, control or ownership of the Buyer or any other Person, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Buyer or any other Person or its assets;

(iv) any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability relating to or against the Buyer or any provision of applicable Law purporting to prohibit the payment or performance by the Buyer of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any defense arising by reason of any failure of any Seller to make any presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, protest, and any other notice (including notice of acceptance of this guarantee, partial payment or non-payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations);

(vi) any defense arising by reason of any failure of any Seller to proceed against Buyer or any other Person, to proceed against, apply or exhaust any security held from Buyer or any other Person for the Guaranteed Obligations, to proceed against, apply or exhaust any security held from the Guarantor or any other Person for this Guarantee or to pursue any other remedy in the power of the Sellers whatsoever;

(vii) any Law which provides that the obligation of a guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal obligation or which reduces a guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation;

(viii) any defense arising by reason of any incapacity, lack of authority, or other defense of Buyer or any other Person; or

(ix) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against Buyer or any other Person, including any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in or as a result of any such proceeding.

(c) Recourse against Debtor. Sellers are not required to exhaust their recourse against Buyer or others or under any other security or guarantee before being entitled to payment from the Guarantor under this Guarantee.

(d) Settlement of Accounts. Any account settled or stated between the Sellers and Buyer will be accepted by the Guarantor as prima facie evidence that the amount thereby appearing due by Buyer to the Sellers is so due.

(e) No Waiver. No delay on the part of any Seller in exercising any of its rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, will constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver of any of the Sellers’ rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this Guarantee, will be deemed to be effective unless made in writing, duly signed by the Sellers and the Guarantor, and each such waiver, if any, will apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and will in no way impair the rights of the Sellers or the liabilities of the Guarantor to the Sellers in any other respect at any other time.

(f) Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment, or the liability of Buyer to make payment, of any amount specified to be payable by Buyer in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, prohibited or otherwise affected upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or winding-up of Buyer or any moratorium affecting the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration or payment will nonetheless be deemed for all purposes of this Guarantee to be and to become due and payable by Buyer and shall be payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Sellers.

(g) Reinstatement. If, at any time, all or any part of any payment previously applied by the Sellers to any of the Guaranteed Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by the Sellers for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Buyer), such Guaranteed Obligations will, for the purpose of this Guarantee, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Sellers, and this Guarantee will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Guaranteed Obligations, all as though such application by the Sellers had not been made.

(h) Taxes and Set off by Guarantor. All payments to be made by the Guarantor hereunder will be made without set off or counterclaim and without withholding or deduction for any Taxes, restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever.

(i) Payment of Expenses; Indemnification. The Guarantor will pay on demand, and will indemnify and save the Sellers harmless from, any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses on a solicitor-client basis) incurred by the Sellers in the enforcement of this Guarantee.

(j) Expiry. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and for greater certainty without any effect whatsoever on the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement, this Guarantee shall expire upon consummation of the Closing.

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
