The date on which the Closing actually occurs will be referred to as the “Closing Date,” and the Closing will be deemed effective as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on the Closing Date.

Section 3.2 Aggregate Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the Termination and Mutual Release Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to Five Hundred Ninety-Eight Million Dollars ($598,000,000.00) (the “Closing Payment Amount”), which amount shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3 below, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Seller (the Closing Payment Amount, together with the aggregate amount of the Assumed Liabilities, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Aggregate Consideration”); provided, that, in the event that any Indebtedness remains outstanding under the Seller Senior Credit Facility as of the Closing Date, a portion of the Closing Payment Amount equal to the Pay-off Amount will be paid by Buyer for the account of Seller to the agent under the Seller Senior Credit Facility by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in the Pay-off Letter and such payment shall be deemed to constitute payment to Seller of a portion of the Closing Payment Amount equal to the Pay-off Amount.

Section 3.3 Estimated Aggregate Consideration Adjustment.

(a) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Estimated Preliminary Statement”), prepared in good faith and in accordance with the Agreed Methodology, setting forth an estimate of the Closing Adjusted Net Investment Amount (the “Estimated Adjusted Net Investment Amount”) in the same detail as reflected on Appendix A and including a reasonable explanation of any new line item categories not shown on Appendix A.

(b) If the Estimated Adjusted Net Investment Amount exceeds the Base Adjusted Net Investment Amount, the Closing Payment Amount shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess, and if the Estimated Adjusted Net Investment Amount is less than the Base Adjusted Net Investment Amount, the Closing Payment Amount shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such shortfall.

Section 3.4 Aggregate Consideration Adjustment.

(a) Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller as soon as practicable, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, a preliminary written statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) setting forth the Adjusted Net Investment Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Adjusted Net Investment Amount”), which amount shall be determined in accordance with the Agreed Methodology.

(b) Seller shall have sixty (60) days to review the Preliminary Statement from the date of its receipt thereof (the “Review Period”). During the Review Period, Seller shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Business (and to the non-privileged work papers of Buyer relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets that were used in preparing the Preliminary Statement) to the extent required in connection with such review, subject to Section 6.9. If Seller objects to any aspect of the Preliminary Statement, Seller shall deliver a written notice of objection (the “Objection Notice”) to Buyer at or prior to the expiration of the Review Period; provided that Seller may so object to the Preliminary Statement based only on the existence of mathematical errors therein, on the failure of the Preliminary Statement (or the calculations contained therein and determinations made in connection therewith) to be prepared or determined in accordance with the Agreed Methodology, or any other failure of Buyer to have complied with this Section 3.4, and on no other basis. The Objection Notice shall specify any adjustment to the Preliminary Statement proposed by Seller and the basis therefor, including in each case the specific items proposed to be adjusted (to the extent determinable), the specific Dollar amount of each such adjustment and an explanation of how such proposed adjustment was calculated. If Seller delivers an Objection Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period as provided in this Section 3.4(b), Buyer and Seller shall, for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Resolution Period”), exchange reasonably detailed explanations of any disagreement and attempt to resolve the matters properly contained therein, and any written resolution, signed by each of Buyer and Seller, as to any such matter shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for purposes of this Section 3.4. Except to the extent properly challenged in an Objection Notice as provided in this Section 3.4(b), or in the event Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice to Buyer as provided in this Section 3.4(b) prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to the Preliminary Statement in its entirety, which Preliminary Statement or undisputed portions thereof (as the case may be) shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for purposes of this Section 3.4.

(c) If, at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, Buyer and Seller have not reached an agreement with respect to all disputed matters properly contained in the Objection Notice, then within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, Buyer and Seller shall submit for resolution those of such matters remaining in dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, or if such firm is unavailable or unwilling to so serve, to a mutually acceptable nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Neutral Auditor”). The Neutral Auditor shall resolve (based solely on the written presentations of Buyer and Seller and not by independent review) only those matters submitted to it in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.4(c). The resolution of any such disputed matter by the Neutral Auditor shall be limited (i) to whether the Preliminary Statement and the calculations contained therein and determinations made in connection therewith were prepared, calculated and determined with respect to such disputed

matter in accordance with the Agreed Methodology and this Section 3.4; and (ii) if the Preliminary Statement has not been so prepared or if necessary to correct any mathematical error in computing the Adjusted Net Investment Amount, to modifying the Preliminary Statement and the calculations of the Closing Adjusted Net Investment only to the extent necessary to reflect the recalculation of such disputed matter in accordance with such Agreed Methodology. Buyer and Seller shall direct the Neutral Auditor to render a resolution of all such disputed matters within thirty (30) days after its engagement or such other period as is agreed upon in writing by Buyer and Seller. With respect to each disputed item, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Neutral Auditor not to assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand. The resolution of the Neutral Auditor shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each of the Parties and shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for all purposes hereunder. The Preliminary Statement, once modified and/or agreed to in accordance with Section 3.4(b) or this Section 3.4(c), shall become the “Final Statement.”

(d) All fees and expenses relating to the work performed by the Neutral Auditor shall be split equally between the Parties, and each of them shall promptly advance to the Neutral Auditor such Party’s share of the expected fees and expenses (including any initial engagement fee) of the Neutral Auditor (as determined by the Neutral Auditor) upon the request of the Neutral Auditor. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Neutral Auditor shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense.

(e) Amounts payable pursuant to the determination of the Closing Adjusted Net Investment Amount on the Final Statement will be paid as follows:

(i) If the Closing Adjusted Net Investment Amount as stated on the Final Statement is less than the Estimated Adjusted Net Investment Amount, then Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount by which such Closing Adjusted Net Investment Amount is less than the Estimated Adjusted Net Investment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Buyer in writing, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Preliminary Statement becomes the Final Statement.

(ii) If the Closing Adjusted Net Investment Amount as stated on the Final Statement is greater than the Estimated Adjusted Net Investment Amount, then Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount by which such Closing Adjusted Net Investment Amount is greater than the Estimated Adjusted Net Investment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Seller in writing, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Preliminary Statement becomes the Final Statement.

Section 3.5 Allocation of Aggregate Consideration.

(a) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will provide to Seller its proposed allocation for tax purposes of the Aggregate Consideration (and all other capitalizable costs). The Aggregate Consideration shall be allocated among (i) the Purchased Assets, (ii) the termination of the 787 Supply Agreement and release of Claims and

resolution of any and all rights and obligations owed to by each of Seller and Boeing to the other related to the 787 Supply Agreement pursuant to the Termination and Mutual Release Agreement, and (iii) the other rights granted by or agreements of Seller pursuant to the other Transaction Documents. The amount allocated to the Purchased Assets shall be set forth on IRS Form 8594 and any required exhibits thereto, prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation Statement”).

(b) Seller will review the Allocation Statement and, to the extent Seller in good faith disagrees with the content of the Allocation Statement, Seller will, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Allocation Statement, provide written notice to Buyer of such disagreement or will be deemed to have indicated its concurrence therewith. Buyer and Seller will attempt in good faith to resolve any such disagreement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach a good faith agreement as to the content of the Allocation Statement within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of disagreement, Buyer and Seller will each file its own IRS Form 8594 using its own allocation statement consistent with its own allocation of the Aggregate Consideration.

(c) If Seller and Buyer agree on the Allocation Statement or any modification thereof, Seller and Buyer will report the allocation of the total consideration among the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with such Allocation Statement or modification and will act in accordance with such Allocation Statement in the preparation and timely filing of all Income Tax Returns (including Form 8594 with their respective federal Income Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and any other forms or statements required by the Code, the IRS or any applicable Tax Authority). Seller and Buyer agree to promptly provide the other Party with any additional information and reasonable assistance required to complete Form 8594 or compute Income Taxes arising in connection with (or otherwise affected by) the transaction contemplated hereunder.

(d) Buyer and Seller will promptly inform each other in writing of any challenge by any Governmental Entity to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 3.5 and each agrees to consult with and keep the other informed with respect to the status of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, any such challenge.

Schedule 4.10(a) also includes an indication of whether each listed item constitutes Purchased Intellectual Property or Retained Intellectual Property.

Seller has also provided to Buyer a correct and complete copy of the most recent IRS determination letter, advisory letter or opinion letter issued with respect to each 401(k) Plan. To Seller’s Knowledge nothing has occurred since the issuance of each such letter that could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of the Tax-qualified status of any 401(k) Plan subject to Section 401(a) of the Code or an applicable trust under Section 501(a) of the Code.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16(c), none of the Employee Benefit Plans promises or provides retiree medical or other retiree welfare benefits to any Person other than as required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) or applicable state law.

In connection with the Business, neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate is a party to, or has made any contribution to or otherwise incurred any obligation under, any “multiemployer plan” as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multiemployer Plan”) or any “multiple employer plan” as such term is defined in Section 413(c) of the Code to which Seller has any Liability (contingent or otherwise).

(e) No payment or benefit which will or may be made by Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller as a result of or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any Employee who is a “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-I) could reasonably be expected to constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code).

(f) Schedule 4.16(f) identifies, as of the date of this Agreement, the Employees who are absent from active work because of disability or other leave, the nature of such leave (e.g., short-term or long-term disability), and the expected length of the leave.

(h) In connection with the Business, Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all currently applicable Laws respecting employment, discrimination in employment, terms and conditions of employment, worker classification (including the proper classification of workers as independent contractors and consultants), wages, hours and withholding of Income Taxes and employment Taxes (including unemployment and social security obligations), including the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Immigration Reform and Control Act. There are no controversies pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, between Seller and any Employees, which controversies have or could reasonably be expected to result in a Legal Proceeding or Claim before any Governmental Entity.

To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize the Employees. There is no labor dispute, strike or group work stoppage against Seller pending or to Seller’s Knowledge

threatened that would materially interfere with the Business. Neither Seller nor to Seller’s Knowledge, any of Seller’s Employees has been found by the National Labor Relations Board or any comparable Governmental Entity in the past two (2) years to have committed an unfair labor practice in connection with the operation of the Business. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no charge or complaint against Seller by the National Labor Relations Board or any comparable Governmental Entity pending or threatened in connection with the Business.

(j) Schedule 8.1(a)(i) contains a listing, of all Employees, including their job titles and whether Seller treats the Employees as exempt or non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Seller shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.5 by any of its Affiliates or Representatives.

Section 6.6 Public Announcements. Each of the Parties shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and only as permitted by applicable Law, consult with each other before issuing, and shall provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public announcement or statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in Section 6.9 or the Non-Disclosure Agreement to the contrary, neither Party shall be required to obtain the consent of the other Party to make any such press release or other public announcement or statement unless such release or announcement discloses any Confidential Information of the other Party).

The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in defending against any such Legal Proceeding, including seeking to have vacated or reversed any stay or temporary restraining order entered in connection therewith by any court or other Governmental Entity.

Section 6.9 Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Closing, neither Buyer nor Seller shall, and each of Buyer and Seller shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives not to, without first obtaining the written consent of the other Party (which consent may be withheld in such Party’s sole discretion) disclose to any Person (other than such Party’s Representatives) (i) any confidential or proprietary information received from the other Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) in the case of Seller, any confidential or proprietary information that Seller has that is contained in the Purchased Assets or that relates to the Business and (iii) the Transaction Documents and any of the terms, conditions, negotiations or other information with respect hereto and thereto or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), whether furnished or available before or after the Closing, whether documentary, electronic or oral, whether labeled or otherwise identified as confidential, and regardless of the form of communication or the manner in which it is or was furnished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Buyer or Seller or their respective Affiliates may disclose such Confidential Information as they determine in good faith is required by applicable Law, the rules or regulations of any national securities exchange (or the terms of any outstanding securities of the disclosing Party) or by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or other documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or any other similar process, but only to the extent so required, or in connection with any Claim, Legal Proceeding, Tax matter or dispute between the Parties with respect to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. If either Buyer or Seller or their respective Affiliates are required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or other documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or any other similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such disclosing Party shall, to the extent practicable, provide the non-disclosing Party with prompt written notice (but in any event not less than ten (10) days advance notice) of any such requirement so that the non-disclosing Party shall have an opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. The disclosing Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or other information that is reasonably necessary to disclose in order to comply with such requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Buyer or Seller or their respective Affiliates are required to disclose any Confidential Information, such disclosing Party shall exercise their reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including by cooperating with the non-disclosing Party (at the non-disclosing Party’s cost and expense) to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information, as reasonably requested by the non-disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) following Closing, Buyer shall not be prohibited from disclosing to any Person any information included in the Purchased Assets or relating to the Business (other than

non-public Transaction Documents and the terms and conditions thereof and other non-public information relating to the transactions contemplated hereby) and (ii) the obligations of the Parties under this Section shall expire on the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that, with respect to any Confidential Information that is a trade secret of Seller, Buyer or the Business under applicable Law, the obligations of the Parties under this Section shall apply for so long as the owner of such Confidential Information maintains such Confidential Information as a trade secret under applicable Law. Effective as of the Closing, the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall terminate and shall no longer be enforceable against any party thereto. In the event of any ambiguity or conflict between the terms and conditions of this Section 6.9(a) and the terms and conditions of any other Transaction Document or other written agreement between Seller and Buyer and/or Boeing, the terms and conditions of such other Transaction Document or agreement shall control.

(b) Promptly following the reasonable request of Buyer, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce all Contracts, the primary subject matter of which is confidentiality, nondisclosure or similar agreements with respect to confidentiality arrangements executed by or on behalf of Seller during the two (2) year period immediately preceding the date of this Agreement in connection with the consideration of the sale of Seller (including with respect to the sale of the Business), to the extent that Buyer or any of its Affiliates is not a party to, or an assignee of rights under, such Contracts (or otherwise an intended third-party beneficiary of such Contracts), with respect to the confidential information of Buyer or any of its Affiliates relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets, on behalf of and at the reasonable direction of Buyer, provided that Buyer shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of such enforcement and any Liability relating thereto.

(a) Seller shall not, whether directly or indirectly, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date (such period, the “Restricted Period”), (i) solicit the employment of, or hire, any Initial Restricted Employee without the prior written consent of Buyer, provided, however, that Seller shall not be in breach of its non-solicitation obligation set forth in the foregoing clause (i) solely as a result of any general solicitation advertisements that are not targeted at any Initial Restricted Employees, but Seller shall be prohibited from hiring any Initial Restricted Employees who respond to such general solicitation advertisements not targeted at the Initial Restricted Employees; or (ii) take any action which is intended to induce any Initial Restricted Employee to leave his or her employ with the Business.

(b) Seller shall not, whether directly or indirectly, during the Restricted Period solicit the employment of any Additional Restricted Employee without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall not be in breach of its non-solicitation obligation under this Section 6.10(b) solely as a result of any general solicitation advertisements that are not targeted at any Additional Restricted Employees and Seller shall not be prohibited from hiring any Additional Restricted Employees who respond to such general solicitation advertisements not targeted at the Additional Restricted Employees.

(f) Each Party agrees that, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction declares there has been a breach by such Party of this Section 6.10, the term of any such term or covenant so breached shall be automatically extended with respect to such Party for a period of time of the violation from the date on which such breach ceases.

Section 6.11 Intracompany Work Orders. Seller shall cancel any work orders existing between the Business and the other businesses and facilities of Seller in existence on the Closing Date.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, none of Buyer or its Affiliates will have any rights with respect to any of Seller’s insurance policies, except that, following Closing, (i) Seller shall pay to Buyer all insurance proceeds (after deducting the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred following Closing in connection with such claim and obtaining such proceeds) that it receives following the date hereof to the extent relating to the Business, any of the Purchased Assets or any of the Assumed Liabilities with respect to any claims made by Seller prior to Closing under any policies of insurance of Seller in effect prior to the Closing, other than any such proceeds received in respect of any Excluded Liability, and (ii) at the written request of Buyer, Seller shall, at the cost and expense of Buyer, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery on behalf of Buyer under such insurance policies (to the extent permitted under such insurance policies), subject to any deductible or self-retention or other policy requirement or limit; provided that this Section 6.13 shall not require Seller to initiate, engage in or threaten litigation with any Person, including any of its insurance carriers.

(c) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Premises Pollution Liability Policy No. PPL G23794603 001 issued by Illinois Union Insurance Company (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”) to be endorsed to add Buyer and Boeing, effective as of the Closing, as additional insureds with full unencumbered rights therein, but only with respect to Liabilities arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance or use of the “covered locations” as defined in the Environmental Insurance Policy. Seller shall provide written confirmation of the insurer’s acceptance of the foregoing obligation, assuming such acceptance is received, following Seller’s receipt thereof from the insurer. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Environmental Insurance Policy in full force and effect through the full term of the Environmental Insurance Policy and will provide Buyer with ninety (90) days prior written notice before amending, commuting, terminating or otherwise changing the Environmental Insurance Policy (it being understood that the expiration of the Environmental Insurance Policy by its terms, or erosion of aggregate limits resulting from claims activity, will not constitute any such action).

Section 6.14 Litigation Support. Subject to Section 6.4(b) with respect to books and records of Buyer and its Subsidiaries related to the conduct of the Business following the Closing, in the event and for so long as either Party is actively contesting or defending against any Claim brought by a third party in connection with any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction involving the Business, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the contesting or defending Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel and

provide such access to its non-privileged books and records as may be reasonably requested in connection with the contest or defense, at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless such contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article XI, in which case, the costs and expense shall be borne by the Indemnifying Persons to the extent provided in Article XI). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.14 shall not apply to pending or threatened Claims (whether written or oral) with respect to which the Parties are in dispute with each other.

Section 6.15 Transfer of Governmental Authorizations.

Schedule 6.20 sets forth each of the surety bonds and letters of credit made or provided by Seller and its Affiliates (or any of them) for the benefit of the Business (the “Guarantees”) outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require any modifications of the terms of the underlying obligations) to cause Buyer or one or more of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller and its Affiliates effective as of the Closing Date, in respect of all obligations of Seller and its Affiliates under each of the Guarantees. If Buyer is unable to effect such a substitution with respect to any such Guarantee after using its commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then Buyer shall (i) obtain letters of credit, on terms and from financial institutions reasonably satisfactory to Seller, with respect to the obligations covered by each of the Guarantees for which Buyer does not effect such substitution in an amount equal to the amount of each such Guarantee identified by Seller to Buyer in writing prior to the Closing and (ii) until Buyer obtains such letters of credit referred to in the foregoing clause (i), not, and not permit the Business or any of Buyer’s Affiliates to renew or extend the term of, or increase its obligations under, or transfer to another third party, any Contract underlying such Guarantee.

(iii) retain any books and records that could reasonably be expected to be necessary or useful in connection with any preparation by any other party of any Tax Return or Income Tax Return, or for any audit, examination, or proceeding relating to Taxes or Income Taxes.

ARTICLE VIII

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 8.1 Employment. Schedule 8.1(a)(i) contains the names of all employees of the Business as of the date of this Agreement employed by Seller in North Charleston, South Carolina (as reflected in Seller’s payroll system for the North Charleston Facility) and any employees of the Business stationed with or assigned to subcontractors of the Business (including field service, surveillance and quality control personnel) or assigned to Buyer’s manufacturing facilities as of the date of this Agreement. Seller shall deliver to Buyer an updated Schedule 8.1(a)(i) at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. Seller will have provided the following information to Buyer with respect to each such employee as of the date hereof (which information will be updated at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date): employee name, employee number, job title, job code, work location, service start date, date of birth, home address, shift, current base salary (hourly rate for non-exempt employees), any additives to such base salary such as shift differentials or cost of living adjustments, citizenship status, whether such employee is on active status or a leave of absence, and the names of any employees for which Seller is in the process of terminating. Schedule 8.1(a)(ii) contains the names, job titles and work locations of all employees who are currently employed by Seller who are no longer Employees and who are not Retained Employees, but who were employed by Seller at the North Charleston Facility primarily in connection with the Business as of January 1, 2009. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall extend an offer of employment (each an “Offer” and collectively, the “Offers”) to each Employee set forth on such updated Schedule 8.1(a)(i) other than the Retained Employees and the employees for which Seller is in the process of terminating, as provided in this Article VIII. Employees who accept such Offer of employment from Buyer and whose employment with the Business continues with Buyer as of the applicable Hire Date shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” In the event Buyer does not extend an Offer to an Employee set forth on Schedule 8.1(a)(i) (as such schedule is updated pursuant to this Section 8.1) (other than Retained Employees), or revokes such an Offer prior to the Closing, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall be responsible for all costs and Liabilities with respect to such Employee that arise from conduct of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or from the termination of employment of such Employee by Seller immediately prior to, on or after the Closing Date or from any tort or discrimination Claims brought by such Employee against Seller.

Section 8.2 Non-Union Employees.

(a) The Offers shall provide each Employee with a consideration period that is no less than one week (the “Offer Consideration Period”). The Offers shall provide that as of the Hire Date, the applicable Employee’s terms and conditions of employment will include (i) the same or a more favorable base wage and (ii) overall compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the terms of the Employee’s employment with Seller in existence immediately prior to the Hire Date (collectively, “Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment”). As of the Hire Date and, except as otherwise provided herein, for a period of not less that twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the employment of Transferred Employees shall be on terms and conditions no less favorable than the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment. “Hire Date” shall mean (A) with respect to Employees who are not Absent Employees and who will become Transferred Employees, 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date or (B) with respect to Absent Employees, 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the first business day the applicable Absent Employee returns to active employment from leave. Buyer shall notify Seller of the acceptance and rejections of Offers of employment that have been received from each of the Employees (x) on at least a weekly basis during the Offer Consideration Period and (y) in total within three (3) Business Days following the end of the Offer Consideration Period.

(b) Except as described in the next sentence of this Section 8.2(b), the employment of each Transferred Employee (including any Employee, other than an Absent Employee, who is absent from active employment and receiving workers’ compensation benefits or is on short-term disability or approved leave of absence) with Seller shall cease immediately prior to the Hire Date, and the employment of each such Transferred Employee with Buyer shall commence immediately upon the Hire Date. In the case of any Employee who is absent from active employment on long-term disability, and who receives and accepts an Offer from Buyer prior to the Closing (the “Absent Employees”), the employment of such individual with Buyer shall commence upon the date of his or her return to active work, and such Employee shall become a Transferred Employee as of such date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no personnel records with respect to a Transferred Employee will be transferred to Buyer until the applicable Hire Date with respect to each such Transferred Employee. Buyer shall be permitted to seek any releases required by applicable Law from the employees of Seller set forth on Schedule 8.1(a)(i) with respect to such employees’ medical records prior to the Closing Date (provided that Buyer shall not condition any Offers on an Employee furnishing any such release), and Buyer shall be permitted to view and make copies of such medical records with respect to an employee once such employee has signed such release.

(c) The vacation program adopted by Buyer for the Transferred Employees shall recognize years of service with Seller for purposes of computing vacation benefits. Buyer shall assume and be responsible for, and shall give full credit for, all vacation benefits of the Transferred Employees accrued but not taken as of the Closing Date. Seller shall have no responsibility or Liability for any vacation benefits of the Transferred Employees on or after the Closing Date, including vacation benefits accrued prior to the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall not assume any Liabilities for vacation benefits accrued through the Closing Date for any Employee that does not become a Transferred Employee.

(d) Excluding defined benefit pension and retiree medical plans, Buyer shall recognize the service start date of each Transferred Employee as set forth in Schedule 8.1(a)(i) for all purposes, including membership, vesting, benefit accrual rate and entitlement to benefits under Buyer’s relevant employee benefit plans, except to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits. Seller shall provide each Transferred Employees the opportunity to retire as an active employee of Seller under the Employee Benefit Plans for a 90-day grace period following Closing if such Transferred Employee would have otherwise been eligible to retire. For purposes of early retirement under Seller’s defined benefit pension plans, Seller shall treat Transferred Employees as having been laid off.

(e) Each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents, as applicable), shall be immediately eligible as of the relevant Hire Date to participate in and accrue benefits under Buyer’s employee benefit plans, which apply to Transferred Employees. With respect to each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents, as applicable), Buyer shall cause such plans to (i) waive any eligibility periods, evidence of insurability or pre-existing condition limitations and (ii) honor any deductibles, co-payments, co-insurance or out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by such employee, including with respect to his or her dependents, under comparable Employee Benefit Plans of Seller during the plan year in which the relevant Hire Date occurs.

(f) The second and third sentences of Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(e) shall not apply with respect to any Employee that, as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, is covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (the “Union Employees”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Buyer be required to provide Union Employees the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment, and the provisions of Section 8.2(b) shall apply only to those Union Employees who accept offers of employment from Buyer.

Section 8.3 Union Employees.

(a) Buyer will not assume, and will not be bound by, the terms and obligations of the relevant Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to the Union Employees as a successor or assign of Seller. However, on the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to recognize the Union as the representative of the Union Employees at the Union’s request, to comply with its good-faith bargaining obligations, and to otherwise comply with its obligations under the National Labor Relations Act.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Union, for a period of no less than twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Buyer shall agree to honor all recall rights held by any current or former employees of the Business under the Collective Bargaining Agreement between Seller and the Union dated as of November 7, 2008.

(c) Only if (i) Buyer does not extend an offer (a “UE Offer”) to such Union Employee (other than union employees whom Seller is in the process of terminating); (ii) Buyer revokes a UE Offer made to such Union Employee prior to the Closing; or (iii) a Union

Employee rejects the UE Offer and the UE Offer to such Union Employee provided (1) wages that are less favorable than the Union Employee’s wages immediately prior to the Closing and (2) compensation and benefits that are, overall, less than substantially comparable in the aggregate to the Union Employee’s compensation and benefits prior to Closing, then Buyer shall be responsible for all costs and Liabilities with respect to any Union Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee that arise from conduct of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or from the termination of employment of such Union Employee by Seller immediately prior to, on or after the Closing Date or from any tort or discrimination Claims brought by such Union Employee against Seller.

Section 8.4 Workers’ Compensation Claims. Seller shall be responsible for and shall, as described herein, pay Losses incurred in connection with those workers’ compensation claims identified on Schedule 8.4. Schedule 8.4 provides a list of all workers’ compensation claims of Employees and former Employees filed with a Governmental Entity which remain open as of the Closing Date, for which Seller will retain liability (excluding any further liabilities on existing claims, except as provided below). As of the Closing Date, with the exception of the claims identified on Schedule 8.4, Buyer will be responsible and liable for all workers’ compensation claims of Employees and former Employees based on injuries or illnesses that arise or have arisen out of, and in the course of, employment with the Business. However, Buyer shall assume any additional liability for matters on Schedule 8.4 where the condition, injury or illness subject of such claim recurred or was aggravated after the Closing Date and such additional liability is incurred as a result of such recurrence or aggravation. To the extent that any Law prevents Buyer from assuming any workers’ compensation obligation directly, Buyer shall reimburse Seller’s costs with respect to any such workers’ compensation Losses.

Section 8.5 WARN Act Notification. Seller shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing, provide Buyer with a schedule setting forth the name and work location of each employee of the Business who terminated employment within the six month period prior to the Closing Date. In the event of any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” with respect to the Business, as defined by the WARN Act, or any state or local Law equivalent, that shall occur on or after the Closing Date due to any actions taken by Buyer, Buyer shall comply with all of the requirements of the WARN Act and any applicable state and local Law equivalent, and shall assume any and all Liabilities with respect thereto. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller with respect to any Liabilities under the WARN Act and similar applicable state and local Laws arising from (i) any actions taken by Buyer with respect to the Transferred Employees on or after the Closing Date (including any Liabilities caused by “employment losses” due to the actions of Buyer with respect to the Transferred Employees on or after the Closing Date that trigger the WARN Act when aggregated with any “employment losses” with respect to the Business on or prior to the Closing Date) or (ii) Buyer’s breach of Sections 8.2 or 8.3 and/or claims by any Employee that Buyer’s Offer pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 8.3 is not sufficiently comparable to avoid an “employment loss” under the WARN Act and similar applicable state and local Laws (including any Liabilities caused by “employment losses” due to the actions of Buyer with respect to the Transferred Employees on or after the Closing Date that trigger the WARN Act when aggregated with any “employment losses” with respect to the Business on or prior to the Closing Date).

Section 8.6 Employee Benefits.

(a) COBRA. Buyer shall, effective commencing on the applicable Hire Date, be responsible for compliance with the requirements of COBRA, including the provision of continuation coverage, with respect to the Transferred Employees, and their spouses and dependents, for whom a qualifying event occurs on or after the Transferred Employees’ respective Hire Dates. If Seller complies with the notification requirements of COBRA with respect to a Transferred Employee, Buyer shall be responsible for the provision of COBRA continuation coverage, if any, to such Transferred Employee, and such Transferred Employee’s spouse and dependents, arising as a result of his or her transfer of employment from Seller to Buyer hereunder.

(b) 401(k) Plan. Seller shall fully vest Transferred Employees in their accounts held under Seller’s Savings and Investment Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) as of the Closing Date. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to establish participation by Transferred Employees in Buyer’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans with a cash deferred feature (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of each Transferred Employee who was eligible to participate in the Seller 401(k) Plan as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall make distributions from the Seller 401(k) Plan available to Transferred Employees and the Buyer 401(k) Plan shall accept such distribution as a rollover contribution if permitted under the terms of the Buyer 401(k) Plan and if so directed by the Transferred Employee. Seller shall make any contributions to Seller 401(k) Plan relating to the Transferred Employees that were due and payable by Seller on or before the Closing Date including those on behalf of Transferred Employees without regard to whether such individuals were employed on the last day of the plan year.

Section 8.7 No Right to Employment. Nothing in this Article VIII restricts the right of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no employee or former employee or any other individual associated therewith or any employee benefit plan or trustee thereof shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any employee benefit plan for any purpose. To the extent Buyer complies with its obligations under this Article VIII, nothing in this Article VIII shall be construed to limit the right of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan.

Section 8.8 Code Section 409A. The Transferred Employees shall not be deemed to have incurred a “separation from service” for purposes of Code Section 409A as a result of their transfer of employment from Seller to Buyer hereunder.

(A)

(1) with respect to Third Party Claims for misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use (excluding a Claim by a supplier to the Business for misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use attributable to Intellectual Property or Products delivered by, or other activities of, such supplier) to the extent attributable to Intellectual Property of, or Products delivered by, or other activities of, a supplier to the Business, except to the extent such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use arises out of or results from such supplier’s compliance with any specification, design, design or specification change or any method or process of design or manufacturing (and changes thereto) required by Seller, in which case Seller will (to the extent provided above in this Section 11.2(c) and subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons for such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use, subject to paragraphs (B)-(G) below; provided that (I) Seller shall (subject to the last two sentences of this paragraph (1)) have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person hereunder to the extent that such Buyer Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification for, or is otherwise entitled to recover in respect of, such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use pursuant to a Purchased Contract, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing (without giving effect to any waiver, amendment, release or modification occurring following Closing), and (II) to the extent that Seller would otherwise be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person for the entire amount of Losses (subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) due to such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use and is not relieved of such obligation pursuant to this clause (A)(1) because the specifications, designs, design or specification changes, methods or processes of design or manufacturing (and changes thereto) were required by Seller (subject to paragraphs (B)-(G) below), Seller will (subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Person for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such Losses attributable to such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use in the event that (x) the provisions of the Purchased Contract providing for indemnification or other right to recovery with respect to such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use of Intellectual Property rights have expired post-Closing under the terms of such Purchased Contract (as in effect immediately prior to the Closing) or (y) such Purchased Contract is unilaterally terminated by such supplier or performance of such indemnification and other provisions giving rise to such recovery are excused and, as a result, the applicable intellectual property indemnification provision(s) and the other provisions giving rise to such recovery are terminated or excused, unless (i) any Buyer Indemnified Person breaches such Purchased Contract following the Closing and such breach is determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction or by agreement of such Buyer Indemnified Person and Seller to be a basis for such termination or excused performance or (ii) no Claim for indemnification is tendered to such supplier prior to such supplier’s notification to any Buyer Indemnified Person of such termination or Claim of excused performance and one of the following two conditions is satisfied: (a) such termination or Claim of excused performance (1) was induced by any Buyer Indemnified Person through a threatened breach or termination of the applicable Purchased Contract or (2) occurred following a proposal by any Buyer Indemnified Person to modify the terms of such Purchased Contract (including pricing or work scope) in a manner that has a material and adverse net economic effect on such supplier; or (b) the work scope, pricing or other material terms have been modified from the terms existing in the applicable Purchased Contract as of immediately prior to the Closing, in which case Seller shall have no obligation to

indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the circumstance in which the Buyer Indemnified Persons are not entitled to indemnification for misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use of Intellectual Property rights as a result of the operation of clause (I) of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, if any Buyer Indemnified Person has used reasonable best efforts (which shall in all events include filing and pursuing arbitration or litigation to final award or judgment) to collect the indemnification owed by any such supplier pursuant to such Purchased Contract and is not able to recover one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the award or judgment against such supplier, Seller will (subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Person for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such shortfall in such recovery by such Buyer Indemnified Person. In addition, if, in such circumstance, such Buyer Indemnified Person and such supplier reach a proposed written settlement in an amount less than one hundred percent (100%) of the indemnification claim and Seller has consented to such settlement (which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion), then Seller will (subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Person for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such shortfall in such recovery by such Buyer Indemnified Person;

(2) with respect to a Claim brought by a supplier to the Business for misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use of Intellectual Property rights to the extent attributable to Intellectual Property or Products delivered by, or other activities of, such supplier (a “Supplier Infringement Claim”), except to the extent such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use arises out of or results from Seller’s failure to flow down the 787 Supply Agreement Intellectual Property provisions to such supplier pursuant to the terms of the 787 Supply Agreement (or include in the relevant Purchased Contract substantially comparable Intellectual Property provisions); provided that at the time of such Supplier Infringement Claim, such supplier remains a supplier to the Business, with work scope, pricing and other material terms substantially equivalent in the aggregate to those that are set forth in the applicable Purchased Contract, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Supplier Infringement Claim for which the Buyer Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification, Seller will (subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such Losses attributable to the misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use giving rise to such Supplier Infringement Claim to the extent (i) any Buyer Indemnified Person breaches the applicable Purchased Contract following the Closing and such breach is determined (either by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction or by agreement of such Buyer Indemnified Person and Seller) to be a basis for such Supplier Infringement Claim, (ii) such Supplier Infringement Claim (x) was induced by any Buyer Indemnified Person through a threatened breach or termination of the applicable Purchased Contract or (y) occurred following proposal by any Buyer Indemnified Person to modify the terms of the applicable Purchased Contract (including pricing or work scope) in a manner that has a material and adverse net economic effect on such supplier or (iii) the work scope, pricing or other material terms have been modified from the terms in the applicable Purchased Contract as of immediately prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Section 11.2(c), a Buyer Indemnified Person’s failure to cure an alleged pre-Closing breach by Seller of a Purchased Contract or the failure to modify Seller’s pre-Closing conduct that resulted in a pre-Closing breach shall not constitute a breach of such Purchased Contract by such Buyer Indemnified Person following the Closing. Seller will

(subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of Losses incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Person attributable to any misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use giving rise to a Supplier Infringement Claim to the extent that Seller did flow down the 787 Supply Agreement Intellectual Property provisions required to be flowed down by the 787 Supply Agreement (or included in the relevant Purchased Contract substantially comparable Intellectual Property provisions) but a pre-Closing breach of such Purchased Contract by Seller rendered such provisions unenforceable as determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction or by agreement of such Buyer Indemnified Person and Seller. To the extent that Seller did flow down the 787 Supply Agreement Intellectual Property provisions required to be flowed down by the 787 Supply Agreement (or include in the relevant Purchased Contract substantially comparable Intellectual Property provisions) and did not breach such Purchased Contract, Seller will not be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person hereunder;

(B) to the extent attributable to any specification (subject to paragraph (F) below), design, design or specification change or any method or process of design or manufacturing (and changes thereto) Required by Boeing;

(C) to the extent attributable to Boeing’s collaboration in the specific aspect of the specification (subject to the proviso in paragraph (F) below), design, design or specification change or any method or process of design or manufacturing (or change thereto) that is a direct cause of such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use and such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use is attributable to such specific aspect that resulted from such collaboration, in which case Seller will (subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Person for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such Losses attributable to such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use;

(D) to the extent attributable to the use or sale of such Product, Covered Product or Supplied Product in combination with other items when such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use would not have occurred but for such combination, except where such combination is contemplated by the 787 Supply Agreement or is reasonably contemplated by the Parties given the intended use of such item;

(E) owned by any Buyer Indemnified Person other than consultants of Boeing or its Affiliates;

(F) to the extent attributable to a design of Seller, if such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use could not be avoided as a result of the specifications Required by Boeing; provided, however, that (i) to the extent such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use could have been avoided through the use of commercially reasonable efforts by Seller, Seller will (subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Person for such Losses attributable to such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use and (ii) to the extent such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use could have been avoided through the use of all efforts by Seller, Seller will (subject to Section 11.2(b) and the other provisions of this Article XI) indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Person for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such Losses attributable to such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use; or

(G) to the extent such misappropriation, infringement or unlawful use would not have occurred if Seller had signed the applicable Contract, as noted as unsigned on Schedule 2.2(a)(i).

(d) All amounts agreed to by the Parties or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be owing under this Section 11.2 shall be paid promptly by Seller through wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by each Buyer Indemnified Person or Buyer Indemnified Person entitled to such payment.

Section 11.3 Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) Buyer hereby agrees (subject to the terms of this Article XI) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, equityholders, officers, directors, managers, members, employees and Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons” and together with Buyer Indemnified Persons, the “Indemnified Persons”) for, from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by Seller Indemnified Persons, or any of them, to the extent arising out of or resulting from any and all of the following (whether or not arising out of any Third Party Claims): (i) any inaccuracy as of the Closing Date in, or any breach of, any representation or warranty contained in Article V of this Agreement; (ii) any breach by Buyer of, or any failure by Buyer to perform or comply with, any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; and (iii) (A) any of the Assumed Liabilities (including as a result of a failure for them to be satisfied when due) and (B) any Liabilities under the Site Development and Incentive Agreement as a result of the failure to obtain a consent to transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (x) the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities and any Liabilities under the Site Development and Incentive Agreement as a result of the failure to obtain a consent to transfer shall not negate or diminish Buyer’s (or, if applicable, a Buyer Indemnified Person’s) indemnification rights set forth in Section 11.2 of this Agreement and (y) Section 11.3(a)(iii)(B) does not modify Section 2.3(b).

(b) Buyer shall pay all amounts agreed to by the Parties or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be owing under this Section 11.3 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by each Seller Indemnified Person entitled to such payment.

Section 11.4 Third Party Claims. The obligations and Liabilities of Buyer and Seller in connection with their respective indemnities pursuant to this Article XI, resulting from any Claim or other assertion of Liability by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnified Person seeking indemnification under this Article XI must give the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) notice of any Third Party Claim that is asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Person and that may give rise to Liability of the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Article XI, stating (to the extent known or reasonably anticipated) the nature and basis of such Third Party

Claim and the amount thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Person hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure.

(b) Subject to Section 11.4(c) below, if the Indemnifying Person’s reasonable estimated monetary exposure (whether in such Third Party Claim or as a result thereof) arising out of such Third Party Claim is reasonably expected to exceed the Indemnified Person’s reasonable estimated monetary exposure (whether in such Third Party Claim or as a result thereof) arising out of such Third Party Claim after taking into account all of the claims and causes of action (and underlying facts and circumstances) upon which such Third Party Claim is premised, and the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Person and limits thereon hereunder (as determined in good faith at the outset of such claim by mutual consultation and negotiation between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person), then the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or other Representatives of its own choosing (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person), subject to Section 11.2(b), the defense of such Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Person’s sole expense and, subject to Section 11.4(d), settle or compromise such Third Party Claim.

(c) In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Person shall elect not to undertake such defense; (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall fail to undertake to defend such Third Party Claim, or diligently pursue or maintain such defense, within thirty (30) days after delivery of notice by the Indemnified Person of such Third Party Claim; (iii) such Third Party Claim seeks non-monetary relief or involves criminal allegations against a Party; or (iv) the Indemnified Person reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Person and Indemnified Person have conflicting interests with respect to such Third Party Claim (it being understood that a relationship with a supplier shall not constitute a conflicting interest), then the Indemnified Person (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Person) shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and/or settlement of such Third Party Claim, by counsel or other Representatives of its own choosing; provided, that with respect to a Third Party Claim seeking non-monetary relief, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such legal counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Person; and provided further that the Indemnified Person shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any Order with respect to such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Anything in this Section 11.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Person shall not, without the Indemnified Person’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any Order with respect to such Third Party Claim unless (i) the Indemnifying Person agrees in writing to pay all amounts payable pursuant to such settlement, compromise or Order as provided in this Agreement, (ii) such settlement, compromise or Order includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Person of an irrevocable release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, (iii) such settlement, compromise or Order would not result in the finding or admission of any violation of

Law, and (iv) such settlement, comprise or Order does not impose any injunctive relief or operational restrictions on the Indemnified Person or admit to any wrongdoing by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person.

(e) The Parties agree that any settlement described in Schedule 11.4(e) shall be managed as described thereon.

Section 11.5 Limitations on Indemnification Liability.

(a) Losses Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Third-Party Recoveries. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all Losses for which any Indemnified Person would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article XI shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds, indemnification payments and other third-party recoveries to which any Indemnified Person receives in respect of any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Person, in each case after deducting the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred following Closing in connection with such Loss and obtaining such proceeds, payments or recoveries, including any incremental insurance premium costs incurred by such Party; provided that in the case of any such incremental insurance premium costs, the Indemnified Person shall provide the Indemnifying Person with a written statement from its insurance carrier specifically allocating the increase in premium costs directly to the claims for which indemnification is sought. In the event any Indemnified Person is entitled to any insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or any third-party recoveries in respect of any Losses for which such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, such Indemnified Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or receive such proceeds, payments or recoveries; provided that this Section 11.5(a) shall not require any Indemnified Person to initiate, engage in or threaten litigation with any Person, including any of its insurance carriers. In the event that any such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries are received by an Indemnified Person subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Person of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries relate, appropriate refunds shall be made promptly by the relevant Indemnified Person of the relevant portion of such indemnification payment.

(b) Tax Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all indemnification payments for Losses under this Article XI shall be paid by the Indemnifying Person without reduction for any Tax Benefits (as defined below) available to the Indemnified Person. However, to the extent that an Indemnified Person recognizes Tax Benefits in respect of any Losses for which such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under this Article XI, the Indemnified Person shall pay promptly to the Indemnifying Person an amount in cash equal to the amount of such Tax Benefits (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Losses) as such Tax Benefits are actually recognized by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person shall provide a statement, signed by an officer of the Indemnified Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of Tax Benefits recognized (even if no such Tax Benefits are recognized) at the following times: (i) no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year after an indemnification payment has been made to such Indemnified Person under this Article XI and (ii) accompanying each payment of Tax Benefits realized by such Indemnified Person under this Section 11.5(b). In the event the

Indemnifying Person objects to the calculation of Tax Benefits recognized, it shall deliver written notice of objection (the “Tax Benefit Objection Notice”) to the Indemnified Person not more than forty-five (45) days after the Indemnifying Person’s receipt of the calculation. The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall promptly endeavor in good faith to resolve the issues related to calculation of Tax Benefits recognized, including through the provision of information reasonably requested by the other party in order to review the calculation of Tax Benefits recognized. In the event such parties are unable to resolve the issues within forty-five (45) days after the issuance of the Tax Benefit Objection Notice, the resolution of the calculation of Tax Benefits recognized shall be submitted to a nationally recognized public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person (the “Arbitrator”). The Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbitrator to review the calculation of Tax Benefits recognized and related documents and records necessary to support such calculation and determine the Tax Benefits recognized by the Indemnified Person within forty-five (45) days after the submission of the calculation to the Arbitrator. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be non-appealable. Upon determination of the Tax Benefits recognized by the Arbitrator, the Indemnified Person shall pay promptly to the Indemnifying Person the amount of any increase, if any, in the amount of Tax Benefits recognized as calculated by the Arbitrator over the amount calculated by the Indemnified Person. The fees of the Arbitrator shall be borne 50% by the Indemnifying Person and 50% by the Indemnified Person. For this purpose, the Indemnified Person shall be deemed to recognize a tax benefit (“Tax Benefit”) with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Person’s cumulative liability for Income Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Income Tax items attributable to the Losses from all taxable years, exceeds the Indemnified Person’s actual cumulative Income Tax liability through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Income Tax items attributable to the Losses for all taxable years as provided for by the relevant Income Tax law.

(c) Consequential; Punitive and Other Special Damages. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification for consequential, punitive, indirect or special damages (other than for any such damages that the Indemnified Person is, or has been, required to pay in respect of any Third Party Claim that is subject to such claim of indemnification).

Section 11.6 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid pursuant to this Article XI shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Consideration.

Section 11.7 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except (a) in the case of fraud, (b) for injunctive or provisional relief and (c) as contemplated by Section 3.4, after the Closing, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties for monetary damages for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto.

If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal, the remainder of the Agreement and the application of such provision to other circumstances shall not be affected, and the provisions so held to be invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable, valid and legal. Upon any such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party may be damaged irreparably in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that (A) the other Party may be entitled, in addition to other rights or remedies existing in its favor, to injunctive or other relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages (which requirements the other Party shall waive) and (B) each Party hereby agrees that such Party shall not, in connection with any action brought to specifically enforce a Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, assert, plead or argue that such remedy is unavailable, or otherwise oppose the imposition of such a remedy, on the grounds that money damages are an adequate remedy for the alleged breach of this Agreement.

Section 12.3 Amendments. No amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by all of the Parties.

Section 12.4 Assignment; Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by any of the Parties (whether by merger, operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any purported assignment in violation of this Section 12.4 shall be void; provided that (i) Seller may collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement as security for Indebtedness and related obligations of Seller under the Seller Senior Credit Agreement or otherwise and (ii) either Party may, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, assign and delegate any of their rights (including Buyer’s right to acquire the Purchased Intellectual Property) hereunder to any Affiliate; provided that no such assignment shall relieve Seller or Buyer of any of their respective obligations or Liabilities hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, other than the rights of Buyer Indemnified Persons and Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to Article XI, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 12.6 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

Section 12.7 Governing Law; Forum Selection.

Each Party hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all Claims in respect of such Legal Proceeding may be heard and determined only in any such Chosen Court, (c) hereby waives any Claim of inconvenient forum or other challenge to venue in such Chosen Court, and (d) agrees not to bring any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement before any Governmental Entity other than the Chosen Courts.
