Section 9.4

Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims

(a)

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice from any third party of a claim or demand in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 9.2 or 9.3 which is asserted against or sought to be collected from the Indemnified Party, including the commencement of any Action against it ("Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under such Section 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the Third Party Claim, but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnifying Party's failure to receive such notice. Such notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 11.1.

(b)

If any Third Party Claim referred to in Section 9.4(a) is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in any Action underlying the claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Action and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, in which event such Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain, at the Indemnifying Party's reasonable expense, one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, to defend such claim on behalf of such Indemnified Party), assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Action, except in the circumstances described in the parenthetical above, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9.4 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such claim, in each case, subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim: (i) no compromise or settlement of such claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party's written consent unless (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law by any Indemnified Party or any violation of the rights of any Person, (2) such settlement or compromise releases the Indemnified

Party in connection with such Third Party Claim, (3) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (4) such settlement or compromise does not restrict in any manner the ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its business; (ii) the Indemnified Party will have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claim effected without its written consent; and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense and to employ counsel, in each case, at its own expense. Subject to Section 9.4(c), if notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within 35 days after the Indemnified Party's notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Action, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in such Action or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for any Losses incurred in connection with the defense, compromise, settlement or final determination of such Action.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an Action may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, except where nonmonetary relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary damages, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Action (provided, that any costs or fees incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, compromise or settlement shall be borne exclusively by such Indemnified Party), but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of an Action so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in such defense and to employ counsel at its own expense.

(d)

The parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection with the provisions of this Article IX.

Section 9.5

Indemnification Procedure for Other Claims

(a)

In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article IX that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of a claim promptly following the Indemnified Party becoming aware of the same; such notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 11.1. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article IX, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced by such failure.

(b)

If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 35 Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying

Party disputes such claim, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX, and (i) where, on or prior to the applicable Release Date, the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, the Purchaser shall execute on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, and deliver to the Escrow Agent, a Joint Notice to pay the amount of such Liability to such Indemnified Party on demand or due, or in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim is finally determined and (ii) where (x) the Indemnifying Party is the Purchaser or (y) following the applicable Release Date, the Indemnifying Party is the Seller, in each case, the Indemnifying Party shall pay (in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the amount of such Liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or due, or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim is finally determined.

(c)

If the Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability with respect to such claim in a timely manner, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in accordance with Section 11.6 (in any event, such resolved amount, the "Resolved Amount"). Where on or prior to the applicable Release Date, the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, within two Business Days of the resolution of such dispute, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall execute on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, and deliver to the Escrow Agent, a Joint Notice, instructing such Escrow Agent to pay the Resolved Amount to the Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Any payments made to the Purchaser shall not be subject to withholding Taxes. Where (x) the Indemnifying Party is the Purchaser or (y) following the applicable Release Date, the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, in each case, within two Business Days of the resolution of such dispute, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Resolved Amount (in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds) to the Indemnified Party.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, promptly following (i) March 13, 2007 (the "Initial Release Date"), the Sellers and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice to affect the delivery by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers of all property then held by the Escrow Agent (subject to retention of amounts sufficient to satisfy any pending claims for Losses), less €6,715,917 or such lesser amount then held by the Escrow Agent (including amounts retained on account of pending claims for Losses) (the "Designated Escrow Amount"), which Designated Escrow Amount the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold under, and pursuant to, the Escrow Agreement and (ii) March 12, 2008 (the "Final Release Date" and, together with the Initial Release Date, the "Release Dates"), the Sellers and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice to affect the delivery by such Escrow Agent to the Sellers of all property then held by the Escrow Agent (subject to retention of amounts sufficient to satisfy any pending claims for Losses).

Section 9.6

Certain Tax Matters

(a)

Indemnification of the Purchaser. Subject to Section 9.7(b), the Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses which arise out of, or result from, the following Tax matters (collectively, the "Tax Matters"): (i) any Tax in excess of amounts accrued in respect of such Tax on any Company's financial books and records (which accruals shall be made in accordance with Applicable GAAP and shall not reflect any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) payable by or on behalf of the Sellers or any Sellers' Affiliates, or any Company, for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (or for the portion ending on the Closing Date of any taxable period that includes but does not begin or end on the Closing Date), (ii) any deficiencies in any Tax payable by, or on behalf of, the Sellers or any Sellers' Affiliates, or any Company arising from any audit by any taxing agency or authority with respect to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (or for the portion ending on the Closing Date of any taxable period that includes but does not begin or end on the Closing Date), (iii) any claim or demand for reimbursement or indemnification resulting from any transfer by the Sellers prior to the Closing of any Tax benefits or credits to any other Person, (iv) one-half of any Transfer Taxes arising from the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (v) any Liability for Taxes as a result of the Euro Cormar Separation and (vi) any breach of any representation or warranty made by any Seller in Sections 4.18 and 5.17 (provided, that, to the extent that any such representation or warranty is qualified by immateriality, materiality, material adverse effect or any derivation of any of the foregoing, such qualifications shall be ignored for purposes of indemnification under this Section 9.6); provided, that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover more than the amount of any Loss due as a result of bringing a claim for indemnification under more than one clause of this Section 9.6(a); provided, further, that a "Loss" for purposes of this Section 9.6(a) only shall not include any amount of Tax to the extent attributable to a change by a Company after the Closing Date in a legally permissible method of tax accounting that was used by such Company consistently through the Closing Date (but a change after the Closing Date by any Company relating to the transfer pricing used in respect of any payment between any of the Companies shall not be viewed as a change in a legally permissible method of tax accounting for purposes of the preceding proviso).

(b)

Audit Matters. If any claim for Losses in respect of Taxes relating to any Company involving taxable periods for which the Sellers have an obligation to indemnify the Purchaser under Section 9.6(a) hereof is asserted by any taxing authority against the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Sellers in writing of such fact; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Sellers will not relieve the Sellers of any liability that it may have to the Purchaser, except to the extent that the Sellers demonstrate that the Sellers were actually prejudiced by the Sellers' failure to receive such notice. The Sellers shall have the right, at the Sellers' expense, directly or through the Sellers' designated Representatives, subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement by the Sellers and each of Sellers' designated Representatives, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, for the purpose of protecting the confidentiality and use of information of the Purchaser or its Affiliates, including any Company to control any audit, examination, or proceedings relating to Taxes (a "Tax Contest"), in respect of any Tax Return for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date if such Tax Contest could give rise to a claim for indemnification

hereunder; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and to review in advance and comment upon all submissions made in the course of any Tax Contest to any Governmental Entity. In case the Sellers exercise any of the rights under this Section 9.6(b), the Sellers shall provide to the Purchaser the funds necessary to make any payment due in connection with any settlement (i) of a Tax Contest and (ii) of a Tax Contest ("concordato"/"condono fiscale") within five Business Days of payment by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall have the right to control any audit, examination or proceedings related to Taxes in respect of any Tax Return for periods (x) beginning before, but ending after, the Closing Date and (y) beginning on or following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Sellers shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and to review in advance and comment upon all submissions made in the course of any Tax Contest to any Governmental Entity.

(c)

Cooperation on Tax Matters. After the Closing Date, the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and the Companies, on the other hand, shall (i) provide, or cause to be provided, to each other's respective Representatives, investment bankers, attorneys and accountants, such assistance as may reasonably be requested by any of them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Returns, or any audit of any Company in respect of which the Sellers, on the one hand, or the Purchaser or any Company, on the other hand, as the case may be, are responsible, and (ii) retain, or cause to be retained, for so long as any such taxable years or audits shall remain open for adjustments, any records or information which may be relevant to any such Tax Returns or audits. The assistance provided for in this Section 9.6(c) shall include the Sellers and the Purchaser (x) making their Representatives, attorneys and accountants and the Representatives of their respective Affiliates available to each other on a mutually convenient basis to provide such assistance as might reasonably be expected to be of use in connection with any such Tax Returns or audits and (y) providing, or causing to be provided, such information as might reasonably be expected to be of use in connection with any such Tax Returns or audits, including records, returns, Schedules, documents, work papers, opinions, letters or memoranda, or other relevant materials relating thereto.

(a)

The Sellers shall have no Liability to indemnify the Purchaser for Losses under Section 9.2(a)(i) until the total of all such Losses that are incurred by the Purchaser exceeds $5,000,000, and then only for the amount by which such Losses exceed $5,000,000. The Sellers' maximum Liability for such Losses with respect to all claims for indemnification under this Article IX shall be limited to and shall not exceed (in the aggregate) the sum of (i) €37,320,000 (which Euro amount shall constitute 77.75% of the Cap) plus (ii) $12,722,016 (which United States Dollar amount shall constitute 22.25% of the Cap) (the "Cap"); provided, that (x) the Fingen Sellers' maximum Liability for such claims shall be limited to and shall not exceed the Fingen Seller's Pro Rata Share of the Cap, in the aggregate and (y) CKI's maximum Liability for such Losses with respect to such claims shall be limited to and shall not exceed CKI's Pro

Rata Share of the Cap. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 9.7(a) to the contrary, at the Sellers' option, the Sellers shall have no Liability to indemnify the Purchaser for Losses under Section 9.2(a) in respect of any individual claim for which the Loss relating thereto is less than $50,000; provided, further, that the Sellers' may exercise such option with respect to no more than ten individual claims.

(b)

To the extent that any Losses arise out of, or result from a breach by both the Fingen Sellers and CKI of one or more representations, warranties, agreements, covenants or obligations, the Fingen Sellers, on the one hand, and CKI, on the other hand, shall severally but not jointly indemnify the Purchaser in an amount equal to the Fingen Sellers Pro Rata Share and the CKI Pro Rata Share, respectively, of such Losses (it being understood that any Losses arising out of, or resulting from, a Designated Representation and Warranty shall be allocated as between the Fingen Sellers and CKI in an amount equal to the Fingen Sellers Pro Rata Share and the CKI Pro Rata Share, respectively). To the extent that any Losses arise out of, or result from, a breach by only (x) one or more Fingen Sellers or (y) CKI, in each case, of one or more representations, warranties, agreements, covenants or obligations, the Fingen Sellers or CKI (as the case may be) shall solely indemnify the Purchaser in an amount equal to such Losses. The indemnification obligation of any Fingen Seller under this Article IX shall be on a joint and several basis as among the Fingen Sellers.

(c)

The Purchaser shall have no Liability to indemnify the Sellers for Losses under Section 9.2(b)(i) until the total of all such Losses that are incurred by the Sellers exceeds $5,000,000, and then only for the amount by which such Losses exceed $5,000,000. The Purchaser's maximum Liability for such Losses with respect to all claims for indemnification under this Article IX shall be limited to and shall not exceed $57,177,600. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 9.7(c) to the contrary, at the Purchaser's option, the Purchaser shall have no Liability to indemnify the Sellers for Losses under Section 9.2(c) in respect of any individual claim for which the Loss relating thereto is less than $50,000; provided, further, that the Purchaser may exercise such option with respect to no more than ten individual claims.

(d)

The limitations contained in Section 9.7(a) or 9.7(c) (as the case may be) shall not apply to Losses which arise out of, or result from: (i) any breach by any Seller of any representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.12, 4.18, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.17, (ii) any breach by the Purchaser of any representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, (iii) any breach by any Seller or the Purchaser (as the case may be) of any of its agreements, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement (other than any agreement, covenant or obligation to certify any representations and warranties herein), (iv) any intentional breach of this Agreement or fraudulent or knowing misrepresentations by the parties hereto, (v) the Tax Matters, (vi) any Software Cure Cost, (vii) any Retained Euro Cormar Liability, (viii) any Retained Customs Liability, (ix) any Retained Product Liability, (x) any Retained Euro Retail Liability or (xi) any CKI Transfer Liability and (xii) any Jeanswear Services International Trading Liability (such exceptions to the limitations contained in Section 9.7(a) which are described in this Section 9.7(d), collectively, the "Designated Matters") ;provided, that the Sellers' maximum Liability for Losses pursuant to Article X

shall not exceed the Closing Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers' indemnification obligations in respect of any of the Designated Matters described in clauses (v) through (ix) of the immediately preceding sentence, shall be limited to Losses which arise out of, or result from, a pre-Closing act or pre-Closing omission.

(e)

All Losses payable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX shall be paid first from the funds held in the Escrow Account; provided, that, following the Initial Release Date, the Designated Escrow Amount shall not be applied towards Losses other than Losses relating to the Designated Matters; provided, further, that, the right of any Purchaser Indemnified Party to recover for Losses shall not be limited to the funds (if any) remaining in the Escrow Account.

. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid or enforceable, such provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.4

Disclosure Schedules

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement, the information and disclosures contained in any Section of such Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in any other Section of such Disclosure Schedule as though fully set forth in such other section for which the applicability of such information and disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of such information or disclosure. The inclusion of any information in any part of any Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgement by the Purchaser or the applicable Sellers (as the case may be), in and of itself, that such information is material to, or outside the ordinary course of, the business of the Purchased Companies. There shall be no obligation on behalf of any of the parties to update any Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Sections 8.2(b) and 8.3(b); provided, that, in the event that a party elects to update any Disclosure Schedule following the execution of this Agreement, such update shall not (x) be deemed to cure any breach or other violation of any representation or warranty of such party or (y) affect any claim, right or remedy any other party may have had hereunder (including Article IX) prior to such update.

Section 11.5

Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries

. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) (a) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including any confidentiality agreement entered into between the parties or their Affiliates prior to the date hereof with respect to the sale of the Business and (b) is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto, any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 11.6

Amendments and Waivers

. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Purchaser and the Sellers. Any of the Purchaser or the Sellers may, by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party, waive compliance by any other party with any term or provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform.

Section 11.7

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process

. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the rules of conflict of laws of the State of New York (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law) or any other jurisdiction that would require the application of any other jurisdiction's laws. The Purchaser and each of the Sellers irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any federal court within the City of New York or any state court located in the City of New York (the "New York Courts")(and of the appropriate appellate courts of such courts) for any action to compel arbitration, for provisional or preliminary relief in aid of arbitration or to prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitral tribunal (and except for an action to enforce a final arbitral award, irrevocably and unconditionally agree not to commence any litigation relating hereto except in such courts) and waive any objection or claim that such party may now or hereafter have to the jurisdiction or venue of such courts or that such litigation was

101

brought in an inconvenient court or forum. Process in any such action may be served on any party hereto anywhere in the world or in accordance with Section 11.1 herein.

Section 11.8

Dispute Resolution

(a)

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, including Section 2.4, all disputes, controversies, and claims directly or indirectly arising out of, or in relation to, this Agreement or the validity, interpretation, construction, performance, breach, termination, or enforceability of this Agreement ("Disputes") shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by binding arbitration, as provided in this Section 11.8, under the International Arbitration Rules of the AAA in effect at the time any such arbitration is commenced, except as modified in this Section 11.8.

(b)

The arbitral tribunal shall be comprised of three arbitrators. Within 30 days after the receipt by respondent of the demand for arbitration, the Purchaser shall nominate one arbitrator and the Sellers shall collectively nominate one arbitrator. Within 20 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, who shall chair the arbitral tribunal (the "Chair"). If the Chair is not timely appointed, or if either party fails to nominate an arbitrator as noted herein, at the request of any party, the Chair or other arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA using listing, ranking and striking procedures. Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall be an experienced arbitrator of disputes arising out of large, complex commercial transactions, with at least 15 years experience as a judge or practicing attorney, and shall be unaffiliated and without prior or current financial alliances or affiliates with any party.

(c)

The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language, and all documents not in English submitted by any party as evidence must be accompanied by a certified English translation if the arbitrators so request. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted and any arbitral award shall be rendered in New York (Borough of Manhattan), New York.

(d)

Each party shall have the right to request the other party or parties to produce certain specified documents or categories of documents relevant to the issues in dispute, and any disputes regarding the scope of production shall be submitted to the arbitral tribunal (or the Chair). In making any determination regarding the scope of production, the Chair or the arbitral tribunal shall be guided by the International Bar Association Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration.

(e)

In rendering an award, the arbitral tribunal shall be required to follow the law of the jurisdiction designated by the parties herein. In addition to damages, the arbitral tribunal may award temporary or permanent injunctive relief, including specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitral tribunal shall not be empowered to award consequential, punitive, multiple or exemplary damages, and the parties hereby waive any right to such damages. The award shall be

102

final and binding upon the parties and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over any of the parties or any of their assets.

(f)

By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any New York Court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings or to maintain the status quo or prevent irreparable harm and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a New York Court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies or to order the parties to request that a New York court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such national court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal's orders to that effect.

(g)

In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related Disputes, upon the request of any party to an arbitration proceeding brought under this Agreement, the arbitral tribunal for such proceeding shall consolidate any arbitration proceeding constituted under this Agreement with any other arbitration proceeding constituted under this Agreement, if the arbitral tribunal determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party would be unduly prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitral tribunal constituted hereunder and another arbitral tribunal constituted under this Agreement, the ruling of the arbitral tribunal constituted first in time shall control, and such arbitral tribunal shall serve as the tribunal for any consolidated arbitration.

Section 11.9

Publicity

. None of the parties hereto or their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement or communication with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the Sellers and the Purchaser, except to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the requirements of applicable Law or the regulations or policies of any securities exchange based on the advice of counsel, in which case the party required to make the release or statement or communication shall allow the Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case may be, reasonable time to comment on such release or statement or communication in advance of such issuance, disclosure or filing. The parties have agreed to the contents and time of release of the initial press release announcing the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates may disclose any information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby which it deems appropriate in its reasonable judgment, in light of its status as a United States publicly-owned company, including any such disclosures in investor conference calls accessible to the general public or in press interviews.

Section 11.10

Assignment

. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior

103

written consent of each of the other parties; provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign (in whole or in part) its rights or obligations hereunder, including with respect to the purchase, acquisition and acceptance of the Purchased Shares and/or the CMI Shares, to one or more of its wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiaries; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 11.10 shall be null and void ab initio.
