(i) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will prepare and deliver to Sequa Can a statement of Sequa Can and the Sequa Can Subsidiaries dated as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Statement") which shall be prepared from the books and records maintained by Sequa Can and the Sequa Can Subsidiaries in accordance with the mutually agreed accounting instructions set forth on Exhibit E (the "Accounting Instructions").

Following receipt of the Closing Statement, Sequa Can shall have a period of ninety (90) days to review the proposed Closing Statement. During such period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall make available its accounting staff and its outside auditors to respond to any questions of Sequa Can relating to the proposed Closing Statement and will furnish to Sequa Can such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the Closing Statement as Sequa Can may request and are available to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Affiliates. At or before the end of such ninety (90) day period, Sequa Can will either: (i) accept the proposed Closing Statement entirely, in which case the final Purchase Price Adjustment will be computed using the Closing Statement; or (ii) deliver to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notice and an explanation of those items in the proposed Closing Statement that Sequa Can disputes, in which case the aggregate amounts not affected by the disputed items will be deemed to be as set forth on the proposed Closing Statement. After the end of such ninety (90) day period, Sequa Can may not introduce additional disagreements with respect to any item in the Closing Statement or increase the amount of any disagreement, and any item not so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by Sequa Can and will be final and binding upon the Parties. Similarly, a disagreement by Sequa Can does not provide any right to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to introduce any changes to the Closing Statement not directly related to the disputed item. If Sequa Can delivers the notice referred to in (ii) above, then within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of such delivery, the Parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items, and the Purchase Price Adjustment will be computed using the Closing Statement produced through such resolution. Failing such resolution, the unresolved disputed items will be referred for final binding resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm. If issues in dispute are submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, (x) each Party will furnish to the Independent Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accounting Firm may request and are available to that Party or its Affiliates (or an independent public accounting firm hired by such Party), and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Independent Accounting Firm, (y) the determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, as set forth in a notice delivered to both Sequa Can and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ by the Independent Accounting Firm will be binding and conclusive on the Parties, and (z) all fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by Sequa Can and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in inverse proportion to the share of disputed items determined in such Party's favor. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Independent Accounting Firm (i) to determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the Parties regarding the determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital solely in accordance with the Accounting Instructions, or (ii) to resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to the Purchase Price that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by the Parties in their respective proposed statements of the Closing Date Net Working Capital submitted in accordance with this Section 2(g).

(h) Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows:

(i) If the Closing Date Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will pay to Sequa Can an amount equal to such excess (plus interest thereon at the Applicable Rate from the Closing Date) by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds within three business days after the date on which the Closing Date Net Working Capital finally is determined pursuant to Section 2(g) above.

(ii) If the Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Sequa Can will pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ an amount equal to such deficiency (plus interest thereon at the Applicable Rate from the Closing Date) by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds within three business days after the date on which the Closing Date Net Working Capital finally is determined pursuant to Section 2(g) above.

The adjustment to the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2(g) above and this Section 2(h) is referenced to herein as the "Purchase Price Adjustment".

(i) Allocation. The Parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price (and all other capitalizable costs) among the Acquired Assets for all purposes (including financial accounting and tax purposes) in accordance with the allocation schedule in the form of the attached Exhibit F. In connection with the Purchase Price allocation, Sequa Can and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree to prepare and file IRS Form 8594 in a timely fashion in accordance with the rules under Sections 1060 of the Code. To the extent that the Purchase Price is adjusted by the Purchase Price Adjustment, the Parties agree, if necessary, to revise and amend the schedule and IRS Forms. The determination and allocation of the Purchase Price derived pursuant to this subSection shall be binding on Sequa, Sequa Can, Sequa Can UK and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for all Tax reporting purposes. For Brazilian tax purposes, Sequa and Sequa Can represent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that no capital gain has been ascertained by virtue of the sale of their equity interest in Sequa Brazil, since the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to said transaction is lower than the amount of the equity investment registered with the Brazilian Central Bank per the allocation agreed upon by the Parties and set forth in Exhibit F.

(j) Currency Conversion. All dollar amounts are United States Dollars and other currency amounts will translate into dollar amounts at the closing mid-point dollar spot rate applicable to that non-dollar currency at the close of business in New York on the Business Day preceding the date on which a payment is due or, if earlier, the Business Day preceding the date on which payment is made (and with respect to the Closing Statement, at the close of business on the Closing Date), as published in the Wall Street Journal.

(d) Confidentiality. Sequa, Sequa Can and Sequa Can UK will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or destroy, at the request and option of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its possession. In the event that any of Sequa, Sequa Can or Sequa Can UK are requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Party will notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ promptly of the request or requirement so that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ sole cost and expense, seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5(d). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any of Sequa, Sequa Can or Sequa Can UK are, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such Party may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that such Party shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties (and each employee, representative, or other agent of the Parties) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction contemplated here, provided, however, that none of the Parties (nor any employee, representative, or other agent thereof) may disclose any information that is not necessary to understanding the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction (including the identity of the Parties and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of the Parties) or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could result in a violation of any federal or state securities law.

(e) Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation.

(i) For a period of five (5) years, from and after the Closing Date (the "Restricted Period"), Sequa, Sequa Can and Sequa Can UK shall not, directly or indirectly through any of their respective Affiliates, engage in, participate in or make any financial investment in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in any business that competes with the Business as conducted at the Closing (a "Competitive Business"); provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit an aggregate investment by Sequa, Sequa Can and Sequa Can UK in less than five percent (5%) of then-outstanding equity securities (as determined at the time of the investment) in a Person. The foregoing shall not apply to a Competitive Business acquired by Sequa or any of its Affiliates, if, in the year prior to such acquisition, the net sales of such Competitive Business were less than twenty percent (20%) of the net sales of the entire acquired business. Sequa or any of its Affiliates may also acquire a Competitive Business that exceeds the threshold set forth in the immediately preceding sentence; provided that Sequa or its Affiliate, as the case may be, divests the Competitive Business within one (1) year after its acquisition. In the event of a breach of any provision of this Section 5(e) the running of the Restricted Period shall be automatically tolled (i.e., no part of the Restricted Period shall expire) from and after the date of the first such breach until such time as the breach is cured.

(ii) Neither Sequa Can nor any Affiliate of Sequa Can shall, without the written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, at any time during the five (5) year period immediately following the Closing Date, hire or employ any person that is an employee of the Business on the Closing Date.

(iii) The provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 5(e) shall be deemed to be separate covenants in each of the states, cities, counties, or other political subdivisions of the United States and in foreign countries. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the time, scope, and other provisions of this Section 5(e) have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated, commercial parties and specifically hereby agree that such time, scope and other provisions are reasonable under the circumstances. The Parties further agree that if, at any time, despite the express agreement of the Parties, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any portion of this Section 5(e) is unenforceable because any of the restrictions therein are unreasonable, or for any other reason, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, and the maximum restrictions of time or scope reasonable under the circumstances, as determined by such court, will be substituted for any such restrictions which are held unenforceable. In the event of a breach by any Party of any of the provisions of Section 5(e), the Parties acknowledge that such breach may cause irreparable damage to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the exact amount of which may be difficult to ascertain, and the remedies at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may be entitled, in addition to any other rights or remedies existing in their favor, to specific performance and injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent breach of any such provisions.

(f) Right and Responsibility for Taxes.

Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

(iii) Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ covering the Business or their successor, and any amounts credited against Tax to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its successor becomes entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall, except to the extent included on the Closing Statement, be for the account of Sequa Can, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay over to Sequa Can any such refund or the amount of such credit within ten (10) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. In addition, to the extent that a claim for refund or a proceeding results in a payment or credit against Tax by a taxing authority to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its successor with respect to any liability for Tax accrued on the Closing Statement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay such amount to Sequa Can within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto.

▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Sequa Can further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including but not limited to, with respect to the transaction completed hereby.)

With respect to any future claims by governmental entities arising from Tax Returns covering the Business and covering, measured by and/or including periods ending on or before the Closing Date, Sequa Can shall have the right to contest or cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to contest such claims on Sequa Can's behalf and at Sequa Can's expense. Sequa Can shall also have the right, at Sequa Can's expense, to cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to amend any of their returns, relating to the period prior to and including the Closing Date, provided that such amendment shall not be made to the extent it would reduce ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Tax benefits (for example, through a reduction in ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ basis in its assets). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall remit to Sequa Can within a reasonable period of time any funds paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a result of a successful contest of such claim to the extent not included on the Closing Statement.

All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the sale of the Acquired Assets (including any New York State Gains Tax, New York City Transfer Tax and any similar Tax imposed in other states or subdivisions) shall be paid by Sequa Can when due, and Sequa Can will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by Law, Sequa Can will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(vi) Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving the Sequa Can Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date neither ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Sequa Can Subsidiaries, nor their respective successors shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

Each such employee who accepts such offer or whose employment is retained shall then become an employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Sequa Brazil and shall then also be referred to as a Transferring Employee.

(i) If any third party shall notify any Party (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Section 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim 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 of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

(iii) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8(d)(ii) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).

(iv) In the event any of the conditions in Section 8(d)(ii) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 8.

(v) This Section 8(d) shall also apply to any third party notification addressed to Sequa Brazil to the extent that the corresponding Third Party Claim gives right to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to be indemnified under this Agreement.

(e) Characterization of Indemnification Payments. Those indemnification payments under this Section 8 which pertain to the Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(f) Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law, right, remedy or defense any Party may have for or with respect to any breach of representation, warranty, or covenant (including without limitation any such remedy arising under Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements) with respect to Sequa Can, the Business, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right, remedy or defense of offset or deduction.

(g) Indemnification Limitation on Real Property. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if there is any defect or deficiency in title to the Owned Real Estate or the title to the leasehold interest in the Leased Real Property, and such Real Property is the subject of title insurance, Sequa and Sequa Can shall have no liability to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ whatsoever on account of any representation or warranty contained herein with respect to title to such Real Property or any deficiency therein to the extent that such title insurance provides ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its assignee with an insurance recovery in respect of such defect or deficiency in title, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be obligated to diligently use all commercially reasonable efforts in pursuing a claim for such insurance recovery.

(h) Indemnification Based Upon Net Damage. The obligation of either Sequa, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or Sequa Can to pay losses to the other shall be reduced by the net value, after all costs, fees and expenses of collection, of any proceeds of insurance from or claims, cross-claims or counterclaims against any Person that is not an Affiliate, as a direct result of the event giving rise to the claim for indemnification provided, however, that if any such proceeds have not been realized at the time losses are paid, then the Party making such payment shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to the rights of the Party receiving such payment against such Person.

(i) Knowledge Defense. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall waive, modify or limit the rights of the Parties to avail themselves of any defense under applicable law that the other Party or Parties had Knowledge of the existence of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty on the part of the other Party or Parties prior to Closing.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Press Releases and Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded securities (in which case the disclosing Party will use its best efforts to advise the other Party prior to making the disclosure).

(b) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

(i) Consent to Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that any action, suit or proceeding arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related document, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of such a disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim (for purposes of this Section 9(i), a "Legal Dispute") shall be brought for determination solely to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York City, Borough of Manhattan or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of New York, New York City, Borough of Manhattan. The Parties agree that, after a Legal Dispute is before a court as specified in this Section 9(i) (or as specified in Section 9(o)) and during the pendency of such Legal Dispute before such court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including, without limitation, any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive all right to trial by jury in any Legal Dispute (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising our of or relating to this Agreement or the Other Agreements or their performance under or the enforcement of this Agreement or the Other Agreements. Each of the Parties hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any Legal Dispute that such Party is not subject thereto or that such Legal Dispute may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court or that such Party's property is exempt or immune from execution, that the Legal Dispute is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of Legal Dispute is improper. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Dispute described in this Section 9(i) (or Section 9(o)) after the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable laws.

(j) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Sequa Can. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(k) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

(l) Expenses. Each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Sequa, Sequa Can and the Sequa Can Subsidiaries will bear his or its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(m) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word "including" shall mean including without limitation. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself). The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

(n) Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

(o) Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
