The procedure and schedule under which any dispute shall be submitted to the CPA Firm shall be as follows:

(i) Within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the period referred to in paragraph (c) above, Seller shall submit any unresolved portion of Seller’s Objection to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Buyer), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies.

(iii) The CPA Firm shall deliver its written opinion within twenty (20) days following its receipt of the information provided for in sub-clause (ii) above, or such longer period of time as the CPA Firm determines is necessary, but not to exceed thirty (30) days. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the CPA Firm is limited to the unresolved portion of the Seller’s Objection. In resolving any disputed items, the CPA Firm may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Seller or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Seller. Buyer and Seller shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant Books and Records and any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants) relating to the Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm.

Any expenses relating to the engagement of the CPA Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller so that Seller’s share of such costs shall be in the same proportion that (x) the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted by Seller to the CPA Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed bears to (y) the total amount of all disputed items submitted by Seller to the CPA Firm. Seller and Buyer shall each bear the fees of their respective auditors incurred in connection with the determination and review of the Closing Statement.

(d) The Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the parties upon the earliest of (i) if no Seller’s Objection has been given, the expiration of the period within which Seller must make the Seller’s Objection pursuant to Section 2.7(b), (ii) agreement in writing by Seller and Buyer that the Closing Statement, together with any modifications thereto agreed by Seller and Buyer, shall be final and binding and (iii) the date on which the CPA Firm shall issue its written determination with respect to any dispute relating to such Closing Statement. The Closing Statement, as submitted by Buyer if no timely Seller’s Objection has been given or as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between the parties or as determined pursuant to the decision of the CPA Firm, is herein referred to as the “Final Closing Statement.”

(e) Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Statement, the adjustment payment payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(e) (the “Adjustment Payment”) and interest thereon shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be. The Adjustment Payment shall be equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Difference. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Post-Closing Difference” shall mean (x) Cash Payment, as reflected on the Final Closing Statement minus (y) the Estimated Cash Payment. The Adjustment Payment shall be payable by Buyer to Seller if the Post-Closing Difference is positive, and by Seller to Buyer if the Post-Closing Difference is negative. The Adjustment Payment shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the Closing Date Interest Rate, which interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and such interest shall be paid on the same date and in the same manner as such Adjustment Payment. Any adjustment or non-adjustment to the Purchase Price shall not form the basis for any claim for damages pursuant to this Agreement. The parties’ payment obligations under this Section 2.7 will not be subject to offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and any right or alleged right of indemnification hereunder or for any other reason or under any other agreement.

Section 2.8 Taxes and Fees. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all sales taxes, transfer taxes, stamp taxes, conveyance taxes, mortgage taxes, intangible taxes, documentary recording taxes, license and registration fees, notarial fees, recording fees and stamp duties, if any, imposed by any Governmental Authority in connection with the transfer of the Shares or the Marine Assets hereunder or the execution or filing of any instruments in connection therewith (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by Seller. To the extent that any Transfer Taxes are paid by either Buyer or Seller the other party shall, within two Business Days of being provided with evidence of the payment of such Transfer Tax, reimburse the party that made such payment for one-half of such amount (it being understood that Seller shall have, as of the Closing, paid Buyer in advance an estimate of its allocable portion of the Transfer Taxes set forth on Schedule 3, and Buyer agrees to make payment of such amounts promptly to the relevant Governmental Authorities). Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to minimize any applicable Transfer Taxes. Any refund of Transfer Taxes paid pursuant to this section shall be shared equally among Buyer and Seller. In addition, (i) to the extent the portion of Seller’s Transfer Taxes included in the Expenses Amount exceed Seller’s allocable portion under this Section 2.8 based on the amount of Transfer Taxes ultimately paid, Buyer shall, within two Business Days of becoming aware of such overallocation or within two Business Days of a request by Seller, refund Seller the applicable amount, and (ii) to the extent the portion of Seller’s Transfer Taxes included in the Expenses Amount are less than Seller’s allocable portion under this Section 2.8 based on the amount of Transfer Taxes ultimately paid, Seller shall, within two Business Days of being provided with evidence of the payment of such additional amount, reimburse the Buyer for its allocable portion of such additional amount. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any consent fee required to be paid in connection with the assignment of the ERP Software Program at Limerick to Buyer; provided that Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the first $100,000 of such fee within two Business Days of Seller providing Buyer with evidence of the payment of such fee by Seller.

Except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter which shall be arranged in accordance with Section 9.9, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows as of Closing:

Section 3.1 Organization and Authority. Seller, each of the Acquired Companies and each of the Selling Subsidiaries has been duly incorporated or formed, is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with the requisite power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to own, operate or lease the properties that it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Seller and each of the Selling Subsidiaries has the full power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, as the case may be, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles, and no other proceedings on the part of Seller are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. At Closing, the Ancillary Agreements will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller or one or more Selling Subsidiaries, as applicable, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer, will constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the Seller or the Selling Subsidiaries, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

Section 3.2 No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which Seller or a Selling Subsidiary is a party, nor completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will (a) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other similar organizational document of Seller, any Acquired Company or any Selling Subsidiary; (b) assuming all of the consents, approvals, authorizations, filings or notifications to or of Governmental Authorities contemplated by Section 3.11 are made or obtained, violate any Law or any injunction, order or decree of any Governmental Authority to which Seller, an Acquired Company or a Selling Subsidiary is subject except, in all cases, for such violations that would not prohibit or materially impair Seller’s or a Selling Subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement; or (c) except as described in Section 3.2 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under, or require that any notice be given, payment be made or consent be granted under, or give to others any right to terminate, amend, accelerate, cancel or modify the terms or conditions of, any Contract included in the Business Assets, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance (other than Encumbrances created by any actions of Buyer or its Affiliates) on, any of the Business Assets, except in each case for any violations, breaches, defaults or other matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of the Business or materially impact Buyer’s operation of the Business or use of a material Business Asset or Seller’s or a Selling Subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 3.3 Financial Information. Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth (a) audited combined balance sheets of the Business as at September 26, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the audited combined statements of income, cash flows and changes in invested equity for the nine-month period ended September 26, 2010, and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (the “Audited Financials”) and (b) the unaudited combined balances sheets of the Business as of December 31, 2010 and January 30, 2011 and the related unaudited combined statement of income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the one-month period ended January 30, 2011 (the “Interim Financials” and collectively with the Audited Financials, the “Financial Information”). The Financial Information fairly presents in all material respects the financial condition, the results of operations and, in the case of the Audited Financials, cash flow of the Business as at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such Financial Information, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied for the periods presented, except for the use of the accounting practices, principles and methodologies reflected in Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.3 [Reserved.]

Section 5.4 Post-Closing Obligations of the Business to Certain Employees.

(a) Transferred Employees.

(i) On the Closing Date, except as set forth on Section 5.4(k) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, Buyer shall initially continue the employment of, or offer comparable positions to, (those employees of Seller and its Affiliates who are employed in connection with the Business on the Closing Date (“Business Employees”) and who are located in the United States. The continued employment of, or offer of employment to, any Business Employee located in the United States who is subject to a collective bargaining agreement, as provided in Section 5.4(a)(v), shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in such collective bargaining agreement. Those Business Employees located in the United States who accept the offer of employment from Buyer, and those who are employees as of the Closing Date of Acquired Companies, shall be referred to as “Transferred Employees”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Business Employee on short-term or long-term disability leave as of the Closing Date (a “Leave Business Employee” listed under Item 1 on Section 5.4(a)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter) shall become a Transferred Employee unless or until such Leave Business Employee reports to work for Buyer or the Acquired Companies within 12 months of the Closing Date (in which case such Leave Business Employee shall then become a Transferred Employee). Seller shall transfer employment of such Leave Business Employees to Seller prior to the Closing Date if necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Seller shall remain liable for provision of short-term and long-term disability benefits to any Leave Business Employee who is eligible for such benefits under Seller’s plans as of the Closing Date. Seller shall remain liable for the provision of long-term disability benefits to any Leave Business Employee who is eligible for short-term disability on the Closing Date and who later becomes eligible for long-term disability under the terms of Seller’s plans. For the Transferred Employees Buyer shall maintain for a period of one year after the Closing Date (x) employee base compensation that is

in the aggregate no less favorable than in effect as of the Closing Date, (y) employee bonus opportunities substantially similar in the aggregate to the bonus and incentive plans that are Business Benefit Plans listed on Section 3.14(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (excluding any retention bonuses or retention agreements and the ACIRP Bonuses) and (z) benefit plans, programs and policies substantially similar in the aggregate to the Business Benefit Plans listed on Section 3.14(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (except for nonqualified deferred compensation plans, executive life insurance and equity compensation plans), in each case, for Transferred Employees not subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Buyer shall provide compensation levels and benefit plans, programs and policies for Transferred Employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement that comply with such collective bargaining agreements or other agreements with the applicable union. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall provide severance and other separation pay and benefits to each Transferred Employee or Foreign Employee terminated by Buyer or its Affiliates within one (1) year following the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Transferred Employee or Foreign Employee who is subject to a collective bargaining agreement, the period required therein) that are at least equal to the severance and other separation pay and benefits listed on Section 5.4(a)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter. All Transferred Employees shall be given credit for all service with Seller, an Acquired Company or a Selling Subsidiary (or service credited by Seller, an Acquired Company or Selling Subsidiary under such employee benefit plans, programs and policies and fringe benefits of the Business as in effect on the date hereof) under all employee benefit plans, programs and policies and fringe benefits of the Business or Buyer in which they become participants for purposes of eligibility, participation and vesting to the same extent such service was credited under comparable plans, programs and policies of Seller, an Acquired Company or a Selling Subsidiary.

(ii) To the extent that any Business Employee is entitled to any severance as a result of the Transactions (and in the absence of any breach of Section 5.4(a)(i) of this Agreement by Buyer or its Affiliates), such payments shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. Buyer shall assume the severance agreements applicable to the Transferred Employees disclosed under Item 2 of Section 5.4(a)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

(iii) Buyer agrees that, with respect to all Transferred Employees, Buyer will honor all accrued but untaken vacation credited to such Transferred Employees under Seller’s applicable vacation plans, determined as of the Effective Time to the extent reflected as a current liability in the calculation of Net Working Capital.

(iv) Buyer agrees to reimburse Transferred Employees for educational expenses incurred prior to the Effective Time but becoming reimbursable under the terms of Seller’s educational assistance plans after the Effective Time to the same extent that those Transferred Employees would have been reimbursed under Seller’s educational assistance plans if they had remained employees of Seller or its Affiliates to the extent reflected as a current liability in the calculation of Net Working Capital. Seller will provide Buyer with reasonable access to, and copies of, Seller’s records necessary to provide the foregoing benefits.

(v) Buyer hereby agrees to recognize each union listed in Section 3.13 of the Seller Disclosure Letter which at the Closing Date represents any of the Transferred Employees as the collective bargaining representatives of such employees as of the Closing Date and hereby assumes all collective bargaining agreements listed in Section 3.13 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, and all rights, duties and obligations thereunder.

(b) Seller Plans. Except as set forth in 5.4(a)(i) above or as agreed to under the Transition Services Agreement, effective as of the Effective Time, all Transferred Employees shall cease to actively participate in any of Seller’s or any Selling Subsidiary’s Benefit Plans (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Seller Benefit Plans”). The benefits of such Transferred Employees under the Seller Benefit Plans accrued prior to the Effective Time shall be provided to the Transferred Employees by Seller or one of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of such plans, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 5.4, including in respect of Seller’s Savings Plan. Unless specifically assumed in this Section 5.4, Seller shall retain any and all liabilities arising under or in connection with each Seller Benefit Plan.

(c) COBRA. Seller shall retain responsibility for providing employees of Seller who were employed in connection with the Business, who terminated employment on or prior to the Closing Date and who elect group health coverage required by Section 4980B of the Code (“Continuation Coverage”) under the terms of the health plan maintained by Seller, with such Continuation Coverage. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Business to make Continuation Coverage available to the Transferred Employees who terminate employment with Buyer or an Acquired Company after the Closing Date to the extent required by Law.

(d) Welfare Plan. Seller shall retain liability for all medical, dental, health, disability, life insurance or other welfare benefit claims incurred by Transferred Employees (and their dependents) under Seller’s employee welfare benefit plans prior to the Effective Time. Buyer shall be liable for such welfare benefit claims of Transferred Employees (and their dependents) under the employee welfare benefit plans of Buyer incurred after the Effective Time. For purposes of this paragraph, a claim shall be deemed to have been incurred on the date on which the medical or other treatment or service was rendered, the date of death or the date a disability was incurred in accordance with the terms of Seller’s plans (as opposed to the date of submission of a claim with respect to any such events).

(e) Cafeteria Plan. Effective as soon as administratively practicable (but no later than 90 days) after the Effective Time, Buyer shall (or shall cause the Business to) establish or amend a cafeteria plan (“Buyer’s Cafeteria Plan”) described under section 125 of the Code for the Transferred Employees who were eligible to participate in such a plan sponsored by Seller (“Seller’s Cafeteria Plan”). Buyer’s Cafeteria Plan shall include medical expense reimbursement accounts and dependent care assistance accounts (described under sections 105, 125 or 129 of the Code) (the “Flex Accounts”) as provided in Seller’s Cafeteria Plan. As soon as administratively feasible after the Closing, Seller shall transfer to Buyer’s Cafeteria Plans the account balance of any Flex Accounts maintained by Transferred Employees who participate in Buyer’s Cafeteria Plan and maintain such Flex Accounts; provided, however, that if the claims made against a Transferred Employee’s Flex Accounts prior to his termination of employment by Seller exceeds the amounts in such account at the Effective Time, Buyer shall reimburse Seller the amount by which such claims exceed the amounts in such Flex Accounts.

(f) If a Transferred Employee becomes eligible to participate in a medical, dental or health plan of Buyer (or its Affiliates) during the calendar year of the Closing, Buyer shall cause such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations for conditions covered under the applicable medical, dental or health plans of Seller and (ii) credit any complete or partial satisfaction of any deductible and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Transferred Employee and his dependents under the applicable Seller medical, dental or health plans during the portion of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. If a Transferred Employee becomes eligible to participate in a group term life insurance plan maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates, Buyer shall cause such plan to waive any medical certification for such Transferred Employee up to the amount of coverage the Transferred Employee had under the life insurance plan of Seller.

(g) U.S. Savings Plan Account Rollovers.

(i) Transferred Employees will cease making contributions to the Seller’s 401(k) Plan, qualified under Code Sections 401(a) and 401(k) (“Seller’s Savings Plan”) immediately prior to the Closing Date. Effective as soon as administratively practicable (but no later than 90 days) after the Closing Date, Buyer will establish a new savings plan or designate an existing savings plan intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a) and including a cash or deferred feature under Code Section 401(k) and a related trust thereunder which is intended to be exempt under Code Section 501(a) (“Buyer’s Savings Plan”) that will permit participation by all Transferred Employees who are participating in Seller’s Savings Plan as of the Closing Date (the “Participating Employees”).

(ii) Buyer’s Savings Plan shall permit rollovers and direct trust-to-trust transfers of the Participating Employees’ accounts (including notes evidencing loans) in Seller’s Savings Plan. Seller shall or cause its Affiliates to 100% vest all Transferred Employees in their benefits under the Seller’s Savings Plan.

Buyer, as of the Closing Date, shall assume all of the liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates to the Pension Participants with respect to the Seller’s Pension Plan. As soon as administratively practicable (but no later than 90 days) after the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish a defined benefit plan maintained by Buyer for the Pension Participants (“Buyer’s Pension Plan”) on terms that comply with any protected benefit requirements under ERISA or the Code and any collective bargaining agreements.

(ii) As soon as practicable following establishment of the Buyer’s Pension Plan, Seller shall cause Seller’s Pension Plan to transfer assets relating to the Pension Participants to Buyer’s Pension Plan in accordance with Section 5.4(h)(ii)(A)-(C). With respect to the Seller’s Pension Plan, the date of such transfer is hereinafter referred to as the “Pension Plan Transfer Date” and shall occur on the last business day of a month.

(A) The actual amount of assets transferred from the Seller’s Pension Plan to the Buyer’s Pension Plan shall be determined in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code and shall be equal to the minimum amount required to be transferred pursuant to Section 414(l) of the Code and Section 4044 of ERISA; provided that such minimum amount shall be (i) calculated in accordance with the methodology and assumptions set forth on Schedule 4, and (ii) reduced by any amounts paid to Pension Participants pursuant to the applicable Seller’s Pension Plan and increased or decreased by the actual weighted-average investment return for the Seller’s Pension Plan from the Closing Date to the Pension Transfer Date (such minimum amount (after giving effect to any such adjustment), the “Pension Transfer Amount”).

(B) The actual assets to be transferred shall consist, to the extent reasonably practicable, of either cash or an reasonably estimated pro rata share of the assets held by the Seller’s Pension Plan immediately prior to the Pension Transfer Date (provided that the Seller shall not be required to transfer any assets for which counterpart consent is required as a condition of transfer).

(C) The Pension Transfer Amount shall be determined in good faith by an Enrolled Actuary designated by Seller (“Seller Actuary”), which shall also be responsible for any required actuarial certification under Section 414(l) of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such asset transfer shall be made until such time as (w) Seller has been provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Buyer has established a trust as part of Buyer’s Pension Plan and that Buyer’s Pension Plan that is intended to satisfy the requirements for a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the trust which is a part of such plan is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code; (x) Buyer has been provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that the Seller’s Pension Plan satisfies the requirements for a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the trust which is part of such plan is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code; (y) all legally required filings and submissions to Governmental Authorities (including the matters described in Section 5.4(h)(iii)) have been made; and (z) the parties have received all other legally required approvals from all applicable Governmental Authorities.

In the event Buyer terminates or reduces benefits under the Buyer’s Pension Plan within 12 months of the Closing, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller and Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to provide participants ERISA Section 204(h) notices.

(i) U.S. OPEB Plan Transfer. Effective as soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall maintain, or cause its Affiliates to maintain, one or more post-employment welfare benefit plans (each such plan, a “Buyer’s OPEB Plan”) for the benefit of each (i) Transferred Employee and Business Leave Employees and (ii) and each former employee of Seller and its Affiliates who is identified on Section 5.4(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (and their respective qualifying beneficiaries), who, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), immediately prior to the Closing Date, participates in or is eligible to participate (a “OPEB Participant”) in the post-employment welfare benefit plans maintained by Seller and its Affiliates (each such plan, a “Seller’s OPEB Plan”); provided that the terms of the Buyer’s OPEB Plans, for a period of thirty (30) months after the Closing Date, shall be identical to the terms of the Seller’s OPEB Plans in all material respects. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4(i) to the contrary, Buyer may at any time amend or modify the terms of Buyer’s OPEB Plans in order to eliminate benefits that would result in the payment of a “Cadillac” tax under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, and as otherwise amended from time to time), or any successor or similar Laws. Effective as soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date, the Buyer’s OPEB Plans shall assume and be responsible for all liabilities that under the Seller’s OPEB Plans with respect to each OPEB Participant.

If, during the Accrued Benefit Liability Resolution Period, the parties reach agreement, such agreement shall be evidenced in writing and the Accrued Benefit Liability Statement (as agreed pursuant to such written agreement) shall become final and binding on the date of such agreement. If, during the Accrued Benefit Liability Resolution Period, the parties are unable to reach agreement, Seller and

Buyer shall refer all unresolved Accrued Benefit Liability Disputed Items, including any dispute as to sufficiency of the Underlying Data, to an independent actuary upon which Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree (the “Actuarial Mediator”).

The Actuarial Mediator shall deliver to Seller and Buyer, within such thirty (30) day period, a report setting forth (i) its adjustments, if any, to the Accrued Benefit Liability Statement, and (ii) the calculations supporting such adjustments. Such report shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Seller and Buyer shall share equally all costs incurred in connection with the engagement of the Actuarial Mediator.

To the extent that the Shortfall Amount is less than $15.5 million, Buyer shall pay to Seller, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, within (30) days following the date on which the determination of the Aggregate Accrued Benefit Liability becomes final in accordance with Section 5.4(j) an amount equal to the excess of (x) $15.5 million over (y) the Shortfall Amount.

(k) Foreign Employees and Foreign Benefit Plans. Business Employees located outside of the United States (“Foreign Employees”) shall continue to be employed by the applicable Acquired Company in accordance with applicable Laws and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.4(a)(i). With respect to the Foreign Employees listed on Section 5.4(k) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “TSA Employees”), Seller shall continue the employment of such Foreign Employees under the Transition Services Agreement for a period of at least ninety (90) days (unless such TSA Employee resigns or is terminated for cause). At the expiration of the 90-day period transition period, Buyer shall cause an Acquired Company or an Affiliate of Buyer to offer such TSA Employees employment with an Acquired Company or an Affiliate of Buyer on terms and conditions as set forth in Section 5.4(a)(i). Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in hiring the TSA Employees and agrees not to solicit the TSA Employees or continue their employment after Buyer makes them an offer pursuant to this agreement.

(l) Incentive Plans.

(i) Except as specifically provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) below, Seller shall retain (and shall pay) all obligations of the Seller and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to pay any bonus that is payable to the Business Employees related to the period prior to Closing (and required by arrangements in effect prior to Closing), including the 2010 Bonuses, the ACIRP Bonuses and the Retention Payments. Seller shall, (x) at the Closing, initiate payment to the Business Employees listed on Schedule 9, by ACH direct deposit, of the entire ACIRP Bonuses and 80% of all Retention Payments payable to such Business Employees, and (y) at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the Deferred Retention Payments are due, pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Deferred Retention Payments, plus the employer portion of any payroll or similar Taxes and any other amounts required to be paid by Buyer or the Acquired Companies related thereto, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account designated in writing by the Buyer.

(ii) Buyer shall (x) within one week of Closing, pay the ACIRP Bonuses and 80% of the Retention Payments payable to the Business Employees listed on Schedule 8 in the amounts set forth on Schedule 8, plus the employer portion of any payroll or similar Taxes and any other amounts required to be paid by the Acquired Companies related thereto and including any employer match under a 401(k) plan and (y) within 30 days of the Closing Statement becoming final and binding pursuant to Section 2.7(d) of this Agreement (but, notwithstanding the foregoing, no later than December 31, 2011) pay 20% of the Retention Payments payable to all Business Employees (the “Deferred Retention Payments”), plus the employer portion of any payroll or similar Taxes and any other amounts required to be paid by the Acquired Companies related thereto.

(iii) Buyer shall also cause an Acquired Company to pay when due all obligations of Seller and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to pay (x) the 2011 Bonuses, (y) amounts due under the Sierra International Inc. Performance Bonus Plan and (z) amounts due under the Teleflex Pte Ltd. (Singapore) “Ex Gratia” Bonus Plan (in the case of (y) and (z), to the extent reflected in the calculation of Net Working Capital on the Final Closing Statement).

(iv) If, after Closing, it is determined that the Assumed Bonus Amount is larger than the estimate of the Assumed Bonus Amount used to calculate the Estimated Closing Payment, then Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to use any additional amounts received from Seller as a result thereof to satisfy the obligations that caused the increase in the Assumed Bonus Amount.

(m) Employee Access. After the Closing, Buyer and Seller will permit the Seller (and its Affiliates) and Buyer (and its Affiliates), respectively, to have access to its employees that Seller (or its Affiliates) or Buyer (or its Affiliates), as applicable, may reasonably need in order to defend or prosecute any legal or administrative action to which the party requesting such access is a party and which relates to the conduct of the Business. After the Closing, Buyer and Seller will cooperate with the Seller (and its Affiliates) and Buyer (and its Affiliates), respectively, in providing access to relevant data and employment records of Transferred Employees, Pension Participants and OPEB Participants reasonably necessary to administer the benefits of Transferred Employees, Pension Participants and OPEB Participants under any Benefit Plan.

(n) No Conflict. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing in this Section 5.4, neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall take any action to reduce, eliminate or otherwise avoid obligations to Transferred Employees under existing collective bargaining agreements, employment contracts or Law in the jurisdiction of employment.

(o) Worker’s Compensation. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and provide any necessary information to Buyer to facilitate Buyer’s reporting of any United States worker’s compensation claims of the Business arising from or related to the period prior to Closing (whether or not reported prior to Closing) (“Pre-Closing Worker’s Compensation Claims”). Seller shall or shall cause its Affiliates, insurers or other administrators to, process and administer Pre-Closing Worker’s Compensation Claims in the same manner as it processes and administers such claims for employees of Seller. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the actual amount of any workers compensation claims paid by Seller or its insurer pursuant to the previous sentence which relate to either the Transferred Employees or the former employees of the Business listed on Section 5.4(o) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter (the “Buyer WC Claims”) within five Business Days of Seller’s or Seller’s insurer’s payment thereof; provided that the obligation of Buyer and the Acquired Companies related to Pre-Closing Worker’s Compensation Claims (pursuant to this Section 5.4(o) or otherwise) shall not exceed the Worker’s Compensation Cap. Buyer’s obligation to reimburse Seller for such amounts shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be subject to offset or reduction by reason of a breach or default by Seller or its Affiliates or for any other reason. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with Seller regarding significant decisions by Buyer related to the settlement of open Buyer WC Claims provided that Seller shall not have any right to approve or disapprove of such decisions.

(p) General. This Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Buyer and its Affiliates. Nothing set forth in this Section 5.4 shall confer any rights or remedies upon any employee or former employee of any Acquired Company or Selling Subsidiary, any Transferred Employee or upon any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns or shall constitute an amendment to any benefit plan or any other plan or arrangement covering the Transferred Employees or employees of the Seller. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall obligate Buyer, an Acquired Company or an Affiliate of Buyer, as the case may be, to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee, Foreign Employee or TSA Employee for any specific period.

Section 5.5 Books and Records. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, (a) Buyer and Seller agree to, and to cause their respective Affiliates to, retain all Books and Records related to the Business and to make the same available after the Closing Date for inspection and copying by Seller or Buyer, respectively, or their agents at the requesting party’s expense, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice and (b) no such Books and Records shall be destroyed by Buyer or Seller without first advising Seller or Buyer, as applicable, in writing and giving Seller or Buyer, as applicable, a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof.

Section 5.6 Intellectual Property.

(a) Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as provided in subpart (b) below, nothing in this Agreement grants or shall be deemed to grant to Buyer the right to use or any interest in (i) the name “Teleflex”, “TFX”, “TFXTREME” or any other trademark, trade name, service ▇▇▇▇ or other similar ▇▇▇▇ or similar right owned by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries which is a derivative of the name “Teleflex” or “TFX” (in logotype design or any other style or design) (the “Seller Marks”) or any name confusingly similar thereto or (ii) any other Intellectual Property of Seller and its Affiliates that is not included in the Business Assets (parts (i) and (ii) herein collectively referred to as the “Seller Intellectual Property”).

(b) Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall use any signs or stationery, purchase order forms, packaging or other similar paper goods or supplies, advertising and promotional materials, product, training and service literature and materials or computer programs or like materials (collectively, the “Specified Supplies”) that include the Seller Marks in whole or in part; provided, however, that, from the Closing Date through the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “IP Use Period”), Seller hereby grants to Buyer a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (except as provided herein), royalty-free license to use (x) the Seller Marks solely as part of the trade name “Teleflex Marine” and (y) the trade name “TFXTREME”, in each case in connection with the continued operation of the Business, including but not limited to use on existing and new product packaging and retail product displays, in connection with other marketing and selling activities of the Business, on all Specified Supplies and as otherwise currently used or intended to be used in the ordinary course of the Business. The license granted herein is non-sublicensable, except (i) to Buyer’s Subsidiaries and their resellers, distributors, customers and suppliers, but only to perform services for Buyer, and (ii) to Buyer’s financing sources solely during the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as such term may be defined in the agreement with such financing sources) of Buyer; and any such sublicense is subject to the same terms and conditions as the license granted herein. All goodwill resulting from any use of the Seller Marks or the trade name TFXTREME shall inure to Seller. Buyer covenants that all uses of the Seller Marks pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) shall be of a level of quality which is comparable, in all material respects, to the quality used by Seller immediately prior to the Closing. Upon Seller’s reasonable request, Buyer shall submit to Seller representative samples of use of the Seller Marks by Buyer. If Seller determines that Buyer’s use of the Seller Marks does not meet the quality standards set forth in this Agreement and such use would have a negative impact on the value of any Seller ▇▇▇▇, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within 10 days of receipt of the sample. Such notification must include a detailed description of the specific aspects of Buyer’s use of the Seller Marks that do not comply with the foregoing. If Seller does not provide such detailed notice of disapproval to Buyer regarding any of the submitted sample materials within 10 days of Seller’s receipt of the submission, then such use shall be deemed approved. If Buyer breaches the foregoing covenant, and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice from Seller, Seller may terminate the above license for the applicable Seller Marks, effective immediately upon notice. Seller, at its expense and in its reasonable business judgment, shall take commercially reasonable steps to protect, maintain and defend the Seller Marks. Seller agrees that if, during the IP Use Period, Seller enters into an agreement involving the sale of the “Teleflex” trademark, then (i) the rights of Buyer set forth in this subpart (b) shall continue until the expiration of the IP Use Period, (ii) to the extent permitted, Seller will provide to Buyer a copy of the agreement effecting such sale, and (iii) Seller shall cause such purchaser to agree in writing to comply with the terms of this Section 5.6(b).

(c) Promptly following the Closing Date but no later than within 180 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall take all such actions as may be required to change the name of each of the Acquired Companies to one that is not confusingly similar to and does not incorporate the Seller Marks, including filing a name change amendment with the jurisdiction of incorporation and filing an appropriate name change notice in the appropriate office in each jurisdiction where each such corporation is qualified to do business; provided, however, that during the IP Use Period the Acquired Companies may continue “doing business as” under the name of such Acquired Companies as of the date hereof. After the date that is ninety (90) days following Closing, except as contemplated in clause (b) above, Buyer will not engage in the transaction of business using the Seller Marks or any other Seller Intellectual Property.

(d) Seller agrees to, at or prior to Closing, assign to Buyer its entire right, title and interest in the domain names set forth on Section 5.6(d) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Grant Back Domains”). Buyer agrees that, immediately upon the expiration of the IP Use Period, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assign to Seller or its designee all of its or their entire right, title and interest in the Grant Back Domains. Buyer’s use of the Grant Back Domains during the IP Use Period will be subject to the same quality and other standards as those set forth for the use of the Seller Marks as provided for herein. Buyer shall maintain and protect the Grant Back Domains, including by paying any applicable registration and maintenance fees. Buyer agrees to execute and deliver any other documents and take any other actions to further the intent of this provision.

(e) Promptly following the Closing Date (but no later than within 10 Business Days after the Closing Date), Seller shall (i) record (and pay all fees associated with recording) all inventor assignment agreements for the patents set forth on Section 5.6(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter and (ii) submit to the applicable domain name registrars the documents necessary to reflect that the domain names ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇ are registered in the name of an Acquired Company.

Section 5.7 Further Assurances; Cooperation. At any time after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents or take any other actions reasonably requested by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and necessary for Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, to complete the transfer of the Marine Assets and to otherwise satisfy its obligations hereunder. Seller shall cause the Selling Subsidiaries to timely fulfill all of their obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 5.8 Compliance with WARN, EU Directives, etc.

With respect to the Transferred Employees, Buyer will timely give all notices required to be given under, or will otherwise comply with, WARN or other similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any plant closing or mass layoff or as otherwise required by such statute. For this purpose, Buyer shall be deemed to have caused a mass layoff if the mass layoff would not have occurred but for Buyer’s failure to offer to employ the Transferred Employees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all losses, claims and liabilities arising out of any violation of WARN or any similar statute or regulation based on Buyer’s failure, on and after the Closing Date, to offer to hire or retain any Transferred Employees.

Section 5.9 Transition Services Agreement. On the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver the Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which Seller and Buyer shall make available to each other the services described therein on the terms and conditions as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement.

Section 5.10 [Reserved].

Section 5.11 Foreign Implementing Agreements. If, after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer, acting in good faith, mutually deem it advisable, or if otherwise necessary to commemorate or complete the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller and Buyer shall cause to be prepared and executed by the applicable parties, any additional agreements or instruments implementing the transfer and conveyance to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer as of the Closing of the Shares of Foreign Subsidiaries or the Marine Assets and the assumption by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities (the “Foreign Implementing Agreements”). The parties agree that any Foreign Implementing Agreements shall not expand or limit the rights and obligations of Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, beyond those provided for in this Agreement, and that the Foreign Implementing Agreements shall not provide for any additional rights or obligations of Seller or Selling Subsidiaries, or Buyer or its Affiliates that are not provided for in this Agreement. The parties shall cooperate in the preparation of any such Foreign Implementing Agreements, which shall be prepared in a form suitable for use by the parties in such foreign jurisdiction. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Foreign Implementing Agreements and this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall control and that, if necessary, the parties shall deliver such additional instruments as may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

Section 5.12 No Other Representations or Warranties. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has not made, does not make and specifically negates and disclaims any representations, warranties, promises, covenants, agreements or guaranties of any kind or character whatsoever, whether express or implied, oral or written, past, present, or future, of, as to, concerning or with respect to, except as (and solely to the extent) specifically set forth in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any certificate or deliverable pursuant hereto or thereto. SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS, EXCEPT AS (AND SOLELY TO THE EXTENT) SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY CERTIFICATE OR DELIVERABLE PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO, ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR GUARANTIES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER REGARDING THE HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, MARKETABILITY, OR PROFITABILITY OF THE BUSINESS ASSETS OR THE FACILITIES.

Section 5.13 Covenant Not to Compete or Solicit.

(a) Seller agrees that during the Seller Non-Compete Period, neither Seller nor any of its controlled Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, engage in, manage or operate, or have any ownership interest in any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business entity that engages in, manages or operates a business that competes with the Business (each, a “Competing Business”) anywhere in the world; provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this Section 5.13(a) for Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates (i) to own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person that are traded on a national

securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (or a recognized securities exchange outside the U.S.) if Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates (x) is not a controlling Person or a member of a group that controls such Person and (y) does not, directly or indirectly, own more than 3% or more of the voting securities of such Person, (ii) to acquire, directly or indirectly, the equity or assets of, or otherwise become affiliated with or participate in, any enterprise that derives less than 10% of its total annual revenue from a Competing Business, if Seller shall use reasonable efforts to divest, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) months after the closing date of such acquisition), its interest in such enterprise relating to the Competing Business, or (iii) to perform the activities contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements. None of the provisions of this Section 5.13(a) shall operate to prohibit, hinder, impede or restrict from engaging in a Competing Business in any way, any Person that is not an Affiliate of Seller as of the date of such transaction, which by way of takeover, acquisition, merger, combination or similar transaction acquires a controlling or significant interest in Seller (provided that Seller and its controlled Affiliates as of the date of such transactions shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.13(a) after any such transaction).

(b) The “Seller Non-Compete Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller, its controlled Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (if acting on behalf of Seller or its controlled Affiliates) will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner, hire or engage or recruit, solicit or otherwise attempt to employ or engage or enter into any business relationship with any Transferred Employee, or induce or attempt to induce any Transferred Employee to leave its employment with Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller, its controlled Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents from (i) engaging in general solicitations for employees not specifically targeted at the Transferred Employees, (ii) employing any hourly Transferred Employee who contacts Seller, its controlled Affiliates or any of their respective officers and directors in response to a general solicitation for employees not specifically targeted at the Transferred Employees or (iii) employing any hourly Transferred Employee who was terminated by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries at least twelve (12) months prior to being employed by Seller or its controlled Affiliates.

(d) If any provision contained in this Section 5.13 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section, but this Section shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 5.13 is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 5.13 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Law.

Section 5.14 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Selling Subsidiaries) to, keep confidential and not to disclose to any other person or user any Confidential Information, except that Seller may disclose Confidential Information (i) to the Seller Representatives who agree to be bound to keep the Confidential Information confidential in accordance with this Section 5.14, (ii) to Buyer and its representatives and Affiliates, (iii) to the extent required to perform Seller or the Selling Subsidiaries’ obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (iv) to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, (v) for the purpose of any Tax filings, any filings with or audits by Governmental Authorities or the preparation of any financial statements or other reasonable business purposes, (vi) for the purpose of any defense by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any indemnification claim made by any Buyer Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (vii) as may be required by applicable Law (including, without limitation, any federal, state or foreign securities laws) or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange; provided, however, that if the disclosure of Confidential Information is required pursuant to subpart (vii), Seller shall notify Buyer promptly of the requirement sufficiently in advance of such disclosure so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or confidential treatment with respect to such Confidential Information or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.14. If, in the absence of a protective order, confidential treatment or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to comply with applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange, Seller may disclose the Confidential Information solely to the extent required.

Section 5.15 Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries with the provisions of any so-called bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale to Buyer of the Marine Assets.

Section 5.16 Tax Matters.

(a) Following the Closing, Seller shall cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to the Acquired Companies for taxable periods ending prior to or on the Closing Date, including amended Tax Returns, applications for loss carryback refunds and applications for estimated Tax refunds (all such Tax Returns, amended Tax Returns and refund applications are referred to as the “Prior Period Returns”). The Prior Period Returns shall be prepared, where relevant, in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices except as otherwise required by Law. Seller shall pay all Taxes related to such Prior Period Returns (other than any Taxes for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 5.16(f)). Buyer shall make available to Seller (and to Seller’s accountants and attorneys) any and all books and records and other documents and information in its possession or control relating to the Acquired Companies reasonably requested by Seller to prepare the Prior Period Returns. Seller shall deliver to Buyer, for its review and comment, a draft of each Prior Period Return (other than Prior Period Returns that reflect the operations of entities other than Acquired Companies) at least sixty (60) days prior to the applicable filing deadline of such Prior Period Return. Within twenty-one (21) days following receipt thereof, Buyer shall deliver to Seller written notice of any objection with respect to such Prior Period Return. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disputes with respect to such Prior Period Return within fourteen (14) days following delivery of Buyer’s notice of objection, such dispute shall be submitted to the CPA Firm, who shall resolve such dispute in favor of the position more consistent with past practice so long as such position has a reasonable basis under applicable law, and such resolution shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(b) Following the Closing, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to the Acquired Companies for taxable periods ending after the Closing Date and shall pay all Taxes related thereto. Buyer shall prepare all Straddle Period Tax Returns in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices, except as otherwise required by Law. Buyer shall deliver to Seller, for its review and comment, a draft of each Straddle Period Tax Return at least sixty (60) days prior to the applicable filing deadline of such Straddle Period Tax Return in the case of Straddle Period Income Tax Returns and at least thirty (30) days in the case of all other Straddle Period Tax Returns, together with a proposed calculation of the Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Period. Within twenty-one (21) days following receipt thereof in the case of Straddle Period Income Tax Returns and ten (10) days following receipt thereof in the case of all other Straddle Period Tax Returns, Seller shall deliver to Buyer written notice of any objection with respect to the calculation of Taxes on such Straddle Period Tax Return or the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Period. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disputes with respect to such calculations within fourteen (14) days following delivery of Seller’s notice of objection, such dispute shall be submitted to the CPA Firm for resolution, which resolution shall be final and binding upon the parties. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Period (other than any Taxes for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 5.16(f)), as finally determined by the parties or the CPA Firm, as applicable. Taxes for any Straddle Period shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Period (i) in the case of real property, personal property and other ad valorem Taxes, on the basis of a daily proration and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(c) Following the Closing, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8 and Section 5.16(f), Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer and the Acquired Companies harmless from and against (i) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies related to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies allocable to the Pre-Closing Period of a Straddle Period Tax Return and (iii) any Taxes of any other person for which any of the Acquired Companies are or may become liable pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-6 (or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. law) as a result of being a member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group of corporations prior to the Closing Date or as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring prior to or on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable for or pay, and shall not indemnify Buyer and/or the Acquired Companies from and against, any Taxes for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 5.16(f) or to the extent such Taxes are reflected in the Final Closing Statement.

(d) Buyer shall promptly notify Seller following receipt of any notice of audit or other proceeding relating to any matter for which Seller may be required to indemnify Buyer and the Acquired Companies pursuant to Section 5.16(c). Seller shall have the right to control any and all audits or other proceedings relating to any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date, including the filing of any amended Tax Return; provided, however, that (i) Buyer shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in such audit or other proceeding, and (ii) Seller shall not settle any such audit or other proceeding without the prior written consent of Buyer if the effect of such settlement would be to increase the Taxes of Buyer or the Acquired Companies for a taxable period ending after the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer shall jointly control and participate in any and all audits or other proceedings relating to any Straddle Period Tax Return, including the filing of an amended Tax Return, and shall bear their own respective costs and expenses. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall settle any such proceeding without the prior written consent of the other.

(e) Following the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of any refund, realized Tax credit or similar benefit realized by, or with respect to, any of the Acquired Companies with respect to a Prior Period Return or the Pre-Closing Period of a Straddle Period Tax Return; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to any refund, realized Tax credit or similar benefit to the extent reflected in the Final Closing Statement or to the extent attributable to a carryback of a loss or credit from a taxable period beginning on or after the Closing Date or the portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

(f) Buyer shall pay and indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any Taxes of or with respect to the Acquired Companies for which Seller or any of its Affiliates may become liable (including pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.1502-6 (or analogous provisions of state or local law) as a result of its being a member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group of corporations that included any of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing Date) resulting from (i) any actions taken, or caused to be taken, by Buyer or any of its Affiliates on the Closing Date following the Closing (other than any transactions pursuant to this Agreement), (ii) any amounts includible in income under Subpart F of the Code with respect to the Foreign Subsidiaries outside the ordinary course of its business during any of their taxable years that include the Closing Date resulting from actions taken or caused to be taken by Buyer or any of its Affiliates following the Closing (other than any transaction pursuant to this Agreement) or (iii) any election under section 338(g) of the Code that Buyer or any of its Affiliates make or cause to be made with respect to any of the Acquired Companies that are organized in the United States.

(g) Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as may be reasonably requested of the other in filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Each of Seller and Buyer shall make themselves (and their respective employees) reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Seller and Buyer agree that the Books and Records delivered to the control of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement to the extent they relate to the operations of any of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing Date, remain in existence and available, Seller (at its expense) shall have the right upon prior notice to inspect and to make copies of the same at any time during business hours for any proper purpose. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts not to destroy or allow the destruction of any such Books and Records without first offering in writing to deliver them to Seller.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of a party to indemnify and hold harmless another party pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall terminate at the close of business on the 30th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

Section 5.17 Credit Support. For the items 6 and 7 listed on Section 3.25 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Designated Credit Support Arrangements”) Buyer agrees to as promptly as possible (and in any event, within 60 days) after Closing (i) obtain replacement Credit Support Arrangements, (ii) repay, or cause the repayment of, all debt and other obligations to which such Credit Support Arrangements relate (and cause the cancellation of such Credit Support Arrangements) or (iii) arrange for itself or one of its subsidiaries to be substituted as the obligor thereon. If Buyer cannot obtain the release of Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Acquired Companies) from any such Designated Credit Support Arrangements, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller and such Affiliates harmless for any Losses incurred by Seller or such Affiliates from and after the Closing with respect to such Designated Credit Support Arrangements. Seller agrees not to take any action to remove, terminate or revoke any (i) Designated Credit Support Arrangements during such 60 day (or shorter) period or (ii) the Travelers LC (as defined below) prior to the time that Buyer is required to replace the Travelers LC pursuant to this Section 5.17. For item 8 of Section 3.25 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Travelers LC”) upon the earlier of (a) December 31, 2013, and (b) thirty (30) days after Seller provides written notice to Buyer that the amount of the Buyer WC Claims is less than $600,000, and (c) Buyer refinances the Credit Facility Agreement (as defined in the Note), Buyer will either provide Seller with a replacement letter of credit for the portion of the Travelers LC related to the Buyer WC Claims or provide for a backup letter of credit issued to Seller in such amount.

On or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, for execution by Seller on the Closing Date, Internal Revenue Service Forms 8023, and any similar forms required by state or local law (collectively, the “Forms”) that are necessary to make the Election with respect to each Section 338(h)(10) Acquired Company. The Forms shall be prepared in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations (or, if applicable, comparable provisions of state and local income Tax law).

(b) The Forms shall be final, conclusive and binding on Buyer and Seller. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall, or shall permit any of their Affiliates to, take any action to modify any of the Forms or reports (including any corrections, amendments, or supplements thereto) that are required for the making of the Election after its execution or to modify or revoke the Election following the filing of the Forms without the prior written consent of the other party. Buyer will be responsible for filing Form 8023.

(c) In the event that any of the Forms is disputed by any Governmental Authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other party hereto concerning resolution of such dispute.

Section 5.19 Insurance.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall obtain an insurance policy with respect to product liability on an occurrence form with a self insured retention of $250,000 per occurrence to cover pre-Closing product liability claims in respect of the Business (the “Product Liability Policy”). Both Buyer and Seller will be beneficiaries of the Product Liability Policy. Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for 50% of the cost of obtaining the Product Liability Policy; provided, however, that Seller’s share of the cost of obtaining the Product Liability Policy and the Environmental Insurance Policies shall not exceed, in aggregate, $450,000. Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for 50% of the applicable deductible with respect to claims asserted under the Product Liability Policy by the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any of its Affiliates thereunder in respect of pre-Closing claims related to the Business during the initial seven years following Closing. Buyer shall not amend, cancel or otherwise modify the Product Liability Policy (or cause or permit any of the foregoing) in any manner that would increase the amount of the deductible or otherwise increase Seller’s liability under this Section 5.19(a) without the consent of Seller.

(b) For a period of 10 years from the Closing Date Seller shall not cancel or change its general liability, workers compensation and auto liability insurance in any respect that would adversely affect the coverage thereunder applicable to Buyer or its subsidiaries. Seller shall provide evidence of its compliance with this Section 5.19(b) as of the Closing Date and thereafter within five (5) Business Days of a written request for the same from Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that claims under Seller’s occurrence based general liability and auto liability insurance are administered by the insurance carrier in such a way that the insurance carrier makes payments on behalf of the insured for which the carrier is entitled to reimbursement (the “Carrier Reimbursement”) from Seller, generally equal to the amount of the applicable deductible for such claim under the policy. Seller shall be obligated to pay any Carrier Reimbursement with respect to claims asserted by the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any of its Affiliates and Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller an amount equal to 50% of any such Carrier Reimbursement.

(c) Buyer shall obtain, prior to Closing, one or more A plus rated (by A.M. Best) pollution legal liability insurance policies reasonably acceptable to Seller (“Environmental Insurance Policies”). Buyer and Seller shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the cost of obtaining such policies; provided, however, that Seller’s share of the cost of obtaining the Environmental Insurance Policies and the Product Liability Policy shall not exceed, in aggregate, $450,000. Buyer shall be fully responsible for the payment of any deductibles under the Environmental Insurance Policies, unless Buyer would otherwise be entitled to indemnification for such amounts under this Agreement.

(d) To the extent that Buyer or the Business suffer or incur any losses by reason of, or arising out of, any action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their predecessors or assigns, or the Business which occurred or existed prior to the Closing, or by reason of or in connection with any claim or cause of action of any third party relating to the conduct of the Business prior to Closing, then upon receipt of notice from Buyer of such loss, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly (i) use all reasonable efforts to submit claims for such matters under any of its (or any of its Affiliates) applicable insurance policies on behalf of Buyer or the Business in connection with such loss in a manner that is consistent with the terms of such policies (including, without limitation, using all reasonable efforts to pursue any claims denied under such applicable insurance policies) and (ii) pay to the Buyer any proceeds actually received by Seller (or any of its Affiliates) under any of its applicable insurance policies in connection with such loss.

Section 5.20 Reserved.

Section 5.21 Termination of Certain Intercompany Accounts. Seller hereby agrees that effective as of the Effective Time, except for (i) the Ancillary Agreements and the other agreements and instruments required to be delivered pursuant hereto or thereto and (ii) the Contracts disclosed on Section 5.21 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, it shall take all necessary action to cause all Contracts, commitments, transactions, liabilities or obligations between the Business or any of the Acquired Companies, on the one hand, and Seller and/or and any of its controlled Affiliates, on the other hand, (other than trade accounts payable or trade accounts receivable to the extent included in the calculation of Net Working Capital on the Final Closing Statement), to be terminated and cancelled without any further liability and obligation and to be of no further force or effect. In connection with this Section 5.21, at Closing, Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries shall execute a release in a form acceptable to Buyer and Seller.

Section 5.23 Title and Survey Matters. Buyer shall pay all fees and costs required to be paid in connection with obtaining any Title Policies and Surveys which are obtained for the Transferred Real Property.

Section 5.24 Retained Litigation.

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants (to the extent such covenants relate to the performance of obligations prior to the Closing) contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.6(a) (with respect to the first sentence thereof only), 3.12 and 4.1 shall survive the Closing indefinitely, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.18 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.5(a)(i), 3.14 and 3.17 (the “Extended Representations”) shall survive the Closing until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing (the representations and warranties referenced in this proviso, other than the Extended Representations, collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”). The covenants contained in this Agreement which relate to the performance of obligations after the Closing shall survive the Closing for the periods contemplated by their terms. The expiration of any covenant, representation or warranty shall have no effect on the continued validity of any claim if Buyer or Seller, as applicable, provided a Claim Notice with respect to such claim or, in the case of direct claims for indemnification, provided written notice of such claim (in each case, which notice satisfies the requirements of the last sentence of Section 8.3), within the applicable time period set forth above.

Section 8.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing Date and subject to Sections 8.1, 8.4 and 8.7, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their directors, officers, employees and stockholders (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) against and in respect of any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fines, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), resulting or arising from (i) any breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Article III of this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant of Seller set forth in this Agreement, (iii) any Excluded Liability or (iv) the Acquired Company Designated Pre-Closing Liabilities. In addition, from and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer with respect to the matter (and in accordance with the procedures and subject to the limitations) as set forth on Schedule 6.

(b) From and after the Closing Date and subject to Sections 8.1, 8.4 and 8.7, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Selling Subsidiaries, their Affiliates and their directors, officers employees and stockholders (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to (i) any breaches of Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant of Buyer set forth in this Agreement or (iii) any Assumed Liability.

(c) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by Law. Such amount shall, to the extent attributable to a specific Marine Asset, be allocated to the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to such Marine Asset.

(d) The right to indemnification, payment of any Losses or other remedy based on a breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation or warranty. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.2(d) shall affect the parties’ obligations under Section 8.5 after the Closing.

(e) Any claims for indemnification for Taxes shall be exclusively governed by and brought pursuant to Section 5.16 other than pursuant to Section 8.2(a) in respect of breaches by Seller of the representations and warranties (which shall not be in duplication of any indemnification under Section 5.16).

Section 8.3 Method of Asserting Claims, etc. In the event that any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of any such written claim or demand, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then known (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (the “Claim Notice”); provided, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have forty (40) days from receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall only have the right to defend a claim or demand if (i) the claim or demand involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief that affects or could reasonably be expected to materially affect the operation of the Indemnified Party’s Business in a negative manner, (ii) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the claim or demand is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party that could have a materially negative impact on the Indemnified Party’s Business, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the such claim or demand actively and diligently. An election to assume the defense of such claim or

demand shall be deemed to be an admission that the Indemnifying Party is liable to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim or demand. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand for which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any third party claim or demand for which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, provides solely for monetary relief to be satisfied by the Indemnifying Party (and does not involve any finding or admission by the Indemnified Party of any violation of Law or Contract) and the Indemnified Party receives assurances that there will be no material continuing restrictions on the business of the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a claim or demand for which the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such claim or demand, or, if the same be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such defense of the claim by the Indemnifying Party is unsuccessful (and the reasonable costs and expenses pertaining to such defense) shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to reimbursement of any reasonable and documented expenses of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party) to assist the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the claim. To the extent then determined and known by the Indemnified Party after reasonable inquiry, any notice of a claim by reason of any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall state the representation, warranty, or covenant with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim, and the estimated amount of the liability asserted against the Indemnifying Party by reason of the claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3 (including the second sentence of this Section 8.3), Seller hereby agrees to defend, and shall have the right to control the defense of any pending claims in the Retained Litigation, provided that if new claims are asserted in the Retained Litigation or the existing claims in the Retained Litigation are amended then the Seller’s ability to assume the defense of those new or amended claims will be determined pursuant to this Section 8.3.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Amounts. Seller shall not have liability under Section 8.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of Buyer’s Losses, and Buyer shall not have liability under Section 8.2(b)(i) until the aggregate amount of Seller’s Losses, in each case attributable to indemnification claims properly asserted under this Article VIII, exceeds $1,219,500 (the “Basket Amount”) in which case Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall be liable only for the amount by which such Losses exceed the Basket Amount. Seller’s and Buyer’s, as applicable, maximum liability for Losses attributable to indemnification claims pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(b)(i), as applicable, shall be $18,292,500 in the aggregate (the “Cap Amount”) except in the case of breaches of the Extended Representations in which case the Seller’s maximum liability shall be $36,585,000. No claim for payment of a Loss may be made under Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b)(i) if the Loss arising from such claim (together with claims which arise out of substantially similar or the same facts and circumstances) is less than $25,000 (the “Individual Claim Threshold”) after which the indemnifying party shall be liable for the entire amount of the Loss arising from such claim (subject to the limitations of this Section 8.4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Individual Claim Threshold, the Basket Amount and the Cap Amount shall not apply to any claim for (a) breach of a Fundamental Representation or (b) fraudulent or intentional misrepresentation.

Section 8.5 Losses Net of Insurance. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Sections 8.2 or 8.8 shall be net of (a) accruals or reserves included in the calculation of Net Working Capital on the Final Closing Statement and (b) any insurance proceeds actually recovered with respect to such Loss (net of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the recovery of such proceeds). The parties shall take and shall cause their Subsidiaries to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon an executive officer of such party becoming aware of any event that gives rise thereto, including, if necessary to mitigate the Loss, incurring only commercially reasonable costs to remedy a breach that gives rise to the Loss. In addition, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate to obtain the proceeds of any insurance applicable to a Loss for which indemnification is provided under Sections 8.2 or 8.8, including the insurance policies to be maintained pursuant to Section 5.19. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Sections 8.2 or 8.8 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment. In the event that an Indemnified Party has rights against any third party with respect to any occurrence, claim or loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment; provided that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of the Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein. For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such Indemnified Party (or its Affiliate) has been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Exclusive Remedy. Following Closing, except in the case of actual fraud, and except to the extent of non-monetary equitable relief (including specific performance) made with respect to breaches of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed following the Closing, the indemnification obligations in this Article VIII and Section 5.16 shall be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Calculation of Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to or otherwise responsible to any Indemnified Party for speculative, unforeseen consequential or punitive damages in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions other than damages paid to an unaffiliated third party claimant. For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses arising from any breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, all applicable qualifications and concepts of “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification shall be disregarded (other than the reference to “Material Adverse Effect” in Section 3.4).

Section 8.8 Response Actions for Releases of Hazardous Substances.

(a) Following the Closing, in the event there is any investigation, remediation or other corrective action pertaining to the Release of Hazardous Substances in connection with the Business with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to Article VIII (including the Designated Pre-Closing Liability described in clause (e) of the definition of Designated Pre-Closing Liabilities) (“Response Action”), the Indemnifying Party may choose whether to perform the Response Action or pay for performance by the Indemnified Party. The party performing the Response Action shall be referred to as the “Performing Party.”

(b) The Performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid and minimize any damage to real or personal property or harm to any persons and indemnify the other party for such damage and harm, and to minimize any interference with or disruption of the other party’s operations and business. All required Response Actions shall be diligently and expeditiously performed in compliance with Environmental Laws and shall not unreasonably interfere with the operations and business conducted at such location. The other party shall reasonably cooperate with the Performing Party including, after the negotiation and execution of a customary access agreement, providing reasonable access to perform necessary Response Actions.

(c) The Performing Party shall select an environmental consultant who is reasonably satisfactory to the other party.

(d) All Response Actions shall meet the Appropriate Remediation Standard. The “Appropriate Remediation Standard” shall mean a reasonably cost effective remediation standard which satisfies requirements of Environmental Laws in effect at the time of the remediation or imposed by any applicable Governmental Authority with jurisdiction that apply to the use of the properties as of the Closing.

(e) To the extent it complies with Environmental Laws and satisfies applicable Governmental Authorities, the parties agree to utilize institutional and engineering controls and environmental use restrictions as reasonably available to satisfy the Appropriate Remediation Standard and to cooperate in obtaining all necessary approvals of the use of such controls, provided that such institutional and engineering controls and environmental use restrictions do not materially interfere with operations on the property and do not result in a material unindemnified cost or expense to the indemnified party. Such controls or restrictions may include: (a)(i) restricting the property use to industrial/commercial activity, (ii) rendering soil environmentally isolated or inaccessible and (iii) prohibitions on the use of groundwater for drinking water purposes; or (b) petitioning the applicable regulatory authority to change the groundwater classification underlying the property or agreeing to a groundwater classification area or well restriction area; provided, that the foregoing would be consistent with the use of the property at Closing.

(f) The Performing Party shall (i) notify the other party in at least five (5) business days in advance of commencing, performing or completing any Response Actions, (ii) keep the other party reasonably informed of the progress of any Response Actions and provide prior to submittal advance copies of any material proposed response, remediation, investigation or sampling plans and the opportunity to reasonably comment and the results of sampling and analysis (including any status reports of work in progress or reports required to be submitted to any Governmental Authority or third party), (iii) provide the other party an opportunity to attend, at its cost and expense, any meeting with any Governmental Authority regarding the Response Actions and (iv) provide the other party an opportunity to obtain splits of any samples obtained in the course of conducting Response Actions.

(g) Except for subsections (b), (c) and (d) of the Designated Pre-Closing Liabilities, which are and shall remain the responsibility of the Seller, neither party shall be responsible or liable to the other under the indemnities provided in Article VIII for any Losses (including the cost and expenses associated with any Response Action) incurred to achieve remediation standards in excess of the Appropriate Remediation Standards, or for Response Actions not required under applicable Environmental Laws or by any Governmental Authority. Neither party shall be responsible or liable to the other under the indemnities provided in Article VIII for any Losses (including the cost and expenses associated with any Response Action) required as a result of Non-Required Testing. “Non-Required Testing” means any and all environmental sampling, testing and analyses of the ambient or indoor air, soils, groundwater, surface water, interior of any building or building components that is not (i) ordered, demanded or requested without any importuning by Buyer or its Affiliates or anyone acting on their behalf by Governmental Authorities; (ii) required by Environmental Laws; (iii) other than in the case of the Limerick Facility, requested by a bona fide lender or prospective purchaser that has a commercially reasonable concern with respect to Environmental Conditions on the Transferred Real Property; (iv) reasonably undertaken or discovered in the course of construction or building projects, which did not have a soil, surface water, groundwater or other environmental investigation as part of the purpose, or (iv) of a type that would be undertaken by an owner of the affected property without recourse to any indemnity acting reasonably after having reasonably concluded that (A) there is or there likely is a material threat to the environment or the health and safety of employees, occupants of the Transferred Real Property or persons downgradient of the Transferred Real Property or (B) there has or has likely occurred a violation of Environmental Law relating to the material Release of Hazardous Substances.

(h) In no event shall Seller or any post-Closing Affiliate of Seller be responsible for any Response Action required as a consequence of a Release, threat of Release or any other occurrence that first occurs following the Closing or any exacerbation of any environmental condition on or after Closing to the extent the exacerbation results from a negligent affirmative action or a violation of Environmental Law by Buyer or its Affiliates, their successors or assigns or anyone acting by or on their behalf; provided however, Seller shall continue to have responsibility hereunder for the migration of Hazardous Substances originally disposed, discarded, spilled or discharged prior to Closing.

(i) In the event of a conflict between this Section 8.8 and the other Sections in Article VIII, this Section 8.8 shall control.

Section 8.9 Set-Off. Each of Buyer and Seller shall have a right to set-off any Losses determined in a final judicial determination, or settlement tantamount thereto, that such party is entitled to receive under this Agreement against any payments to be made by such party pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the Note.
