WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in providing electronics manufacturing services for complex applications (the “Business”); and

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase from the Member, and the Member desires to sell to Buyer, all right, title and interest of the Member in and to the outstanding limited liability company interests of the Company (the “Units”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF UNITS

1.1 Transaction. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Member shall sell and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Member the Units, free and clear of all Liens.

1.2 Designated Purchasers. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Member, assign its rights and obligations, in whole or in part, under this Agreement to one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (each such entity, a “Designated Purchaser”) for the purpose of carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) such assignment shall be effective only if such Designated Purchaser provides the Member with written acceptance thereof, in form and substance acceptable to the Member, prior to the Closing Date and (b) Buyer and each Designated Purchaser shall be and remain jointly and severally liable for all obligations of Buyer and each Designated Purchaser under this Agreement and all documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by Buyer or any Designated Purchaser pursuant hereto.

2. PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENT

2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Units (the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to $43,250,000, plus the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is greater than $11,122,000 or minus the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is less than $11,122,000.

2.2 Payment. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

(a) Payment to Member. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Member an amount equal to $43,250,000 less the Escrow Amount.

(b) Payment of Adjustment Amount. On or before the fifth Business Day following the determination of the Final Closing Statement, either (i) Buyer shall pay to the Member the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is greater than $11,122,000 or (ii) the Member shall pay the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is less than $11,122,000.

(c) Method of Payment. All payments under this Section 2.2 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds free of costs and charges to an account that the recipient, at least 48 hours prior to the time for payment specified under this Section 2.2, has designated.

(d) Escrow. Buyer shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount at Closing. An amount equal to 50% of the available Escrow Amount shall be released to Member on the one year anniversary of the Closing. Any available remaining amount of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Member on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of Closing. The Escrow Amount shall be held and/or released in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(e) Prorations. Seller shall pay, at or prior to Closing, all real estate taxes, assessments and water charges which are due as of Closing, to the extent not included on the Final Closing Statement. Current taxes and assessments shall be prorated in the manner which is customary for location of the Owned Real Estate.

2.3 Determination of Net Working Capital.

(a) Preparation of Preliminary Closing Statement. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Member an unaudited statement that shall set forth the Current Assets, Current Liabilities and Net Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”). The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation, and in the form, of the Reference Closing Statement as to accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodologies. In preparing the Preliminary Closing Statement, the respective amounts included therein for reserves (in the form of an accrued liability or an offset to an asset or similar item) relating to any of the Current Assets or Current Liabilities, the amount of which was determined for the Reference Closing Statement by subjective estimates, shall be equal to the respective amounts (including the absence of a reserve or zero) included

in respect of such items on the Reference Closing Statement, except to reflect (1) changes in circumstances or events (including changes to reserves to reflect costs incurred or payments made) occurring between the date of this Agreement and the opening of business on the Closing Date to the knowledge of Buyer and the Member on the date on which Buyer delivers the Preliminary Closing Statement to the Member or (2) changes occurring between the date of this Agreement and the date on which Buyer delivers the Preliminary Closing Statement to the Member in information known to Buyer and the Member as of the opening of business on the Closing Date concerning circumstances or events occurring prior to the date of this Agreement (in which event the second sentence of this Section 2.3(a) shall govern the determination of any changes in the reserve).

(b) Closing Statement Objection. Within thirty (30) days after Buyer delivers the Preliminary Closing Statement to the Member, the Member shall complete its review of the Preliminary Closing Statement. If the Member wishes to object to the content of the Preliminary Closing Statement, then the Member shall inform Buyer on or before the last day of such thirty (30) day period by delivering a written notice to Buyer (a “Closing Statement Objection”) setting forth a description of the basis of the Closing Statement Objection and the adjustments to the Net Working Capital that the Member believes should be made.

(c) Response to Closing Statement Objection. If the Member delivers a Closing Statement Objection to Buyer, then Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to review and respond to the Closing Statement Objection by delivering written notice to the Member specifying the scope of its disagreement with the information set forth in it.

(d) Dispute Resolution.

(i) If Buyer delivers a written notice to the Member in response to a Closing Statement Objection, then Buyer and the Member shall promptly attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute or disagreement relating to the Preliminary Closing Statement and the calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement Dispute”).

(ii) If Buyer and the Member are unable to resolve the Closing Statement Dispute within 30 days after Buyer delivers a written notice to the Member in response to a Closing Statement Objection, then, at any time thereafter, either Buyer or the Member may elect to have the Closing Statement Dispute resolved by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or another nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as to which Buyer and the Member mutually agree (the “CPA Firm”), which shall, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, determine on the basis of the standards set forth in Section 2.3(a), and only with respect to the remaining accounting-related differences

so submitted to the CPA Firm (and not by independent review), whether and to what extent, if any, the Net Working Capital as derived from the Preliminary Closing Statement requires adjustment. In connection with the engagement of the CPA Firm, Buyer and the Member shall execute reasonable engagement letters and supply such other documents and information as the CPA Firm reasonably requires or as such party deems appropriate. The CPA Firm shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to perform its services within 15 days after submission of the Closing Statement Dispute to it and, in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission. In resolving the Closing Statement Dispute, the CPA Firm shall utilize the criteria set forth in Section 2.3(a). The CPA Firm’s determination of the Closing Statement Dispute shall be conclusive and binding upon all Parties.

(iii) The Parties shall share equally in the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm in connection with the services provided pursuant to Section 2.3(d)(ii).

(e) Cooperation. Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any action with respect to the accounting books, records, policies and procedures of the Company that would obstruct or prevent the preparation or review of the Preliminary Closing Statement. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with the review of the deliveries under this Section, including (i) providing the other Party and its representatives upon advance written notice with reasonable access during normal and reasonable business hours to any books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), facilities and employees of such Party (in all events subject to such Party’s policies and procedures), (ii) causing employees of the foregoing to provide the Member as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date with customary financial information for the Company as reasonably requested for the period ending as of the opening of business on the Closing Date to the extent available, and (iii) cooperating in all reasonable respects with such Party and its representatives, including the provision on a timely basis of all other information necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Preliminary Closing Statement and, if applicable, Buyer’s response to a Closing Statement Objection.

(f) No Further Claim. After the determination of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to this Section 2.3 and the payment contemplated by Section 2.2(b), no Party shall have the right to make any claim based on the preparation of the Final Closing Statement or the calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (even if subsequent events or subsequently discovered facts would have affected the preparation of the Final Closing Statement or the calculation of the Net Working Capital had such subsequent events or subsequently discovered facts been known at the time of the Closing).

3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Member. Except as set forth in the corresponding sections of the disclosure schedule delivered by the Member to Buyer immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”), the Member hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and on the Closing Date as follows:

To the knowledge of the Company, there is no circumstance, condition, event or arrangement that would reasonably be expected to hereafter give rise to any liabilities of the Company except in the ordinary course of business.

(h) Tax Matters.

(i) Returns. All Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Company and/or RPT on or prior to the date of this Agreement have been timely filed and the Company and/or RPT timely paid the amount shown owing on such Tax Returns. All Taxes due and owing by the Company and/or RPT as of the date of the Recent Balance Sheet have been paid or adequately accrued in accordance with GAAP, as in effect on the date of the Recent Balance Sheet and applied on a basis consistent with past practice. Neither Company nor RPT is currently the beneficiary of any extension within which to file any Tax Return.

(iii) Affiliated Group Tax Matters. ESG Consolidated Group has filed all income Tax Returns that it was required to file for each taxable period during which the Company and/or RPT was a member of ESG Consolidated Group. All income Taxes owed by ESG Consolidated Group (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid for each taxable period during which Company and/or RPT was a member of the group. There is no dispute or claim concerning any income Tax Liability of ESG Consolidated Group for any taxable period during which Company and/or RPT was a member of the group either (A) claimed or raised by any authority in writing or (B) as to which Member and the directors and officers (and employees responsible for Tax matters) of Member have knowledge based upon personal contact with any agent of such authority. ESG Consolidated Group has not waived any statute of limitations in respect to any income Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to any income Tax assessment or deficiency for any taxable period during which Company and/or RPT was part of the group.

(iv) Miscellaneous. Neither Company nor any subsidiary is a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or plan that has resulted or could result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Code §280G. Neither Company nor RPT has distributed stock of another Person, and has not had its stock or interests distributed by another Person, in a transaction that was purported or intended to be governed in whole or in part by Code §355 or Code §361. Neither Company nor RPT has been a party to any “listed transaction” as defined in Code Section 6707A(c)(2) and Reg. Sec. 1.6011-4(b)(2). Neither Company nor any subsidiary is a party to any income Tax allocation or sharing arrangement that will survive the Closing.

(v) The reserves for Taxes reflected in the Financial Statements are adequate for the payment of all Taxes of the Company and/or RPT due or to become due in respect of all periods through the date of the Financial Statements.

(vi) All Taxes that the Company and/or RPT has been required to collect or withhold for, including, but not limited to, any employee, independent contractor, creditor, member, stockholder or other party, have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper taxing authority.

(vii) Neither the Company nor RPT is a “foreign person” within the meaning of Code Section 1445(f)(3).

(viii) Neither the Company nor RPT’s “nonqualified deferred compensation plans” within the meaning of Code Section 409A are likely to result in a participant’s incurring income acceleration or penalties under Code Section 409A. Neither the Company nor RPT has any indemnity obligation for any Taxes imposed under Code Section 409A.

(ix) Neither the Company nor RPT has been, since January 1, 2009, a party to a transaction (i) reported or intended to qualify as a reorganization under Code Section 368 or (ii) reported or intended to qualify as a distribution governed by Code Section 355 or 356.

(x) Neither the Company nor RPT is required to include an item of income, or exclude an item of deduction, for any period after the Closing Date as a result of (i) an installment sale transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date governed by Code Section 453 (or any similar provision of foreign, state or local law); (ii) a transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date reported as an open transaction for federal income tax purposes (or any similar doctrine for foreign, state or local tax purposes); (iii) prepaid amounts received on or prior to the Closing Date; or (iv) an agreement entered into with any Governmental Entity on or prior to the Closing Date.

(i) Absence of Certain Changes. Other than as set forth in Section 3.1(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, from January 1, 2012 until the date of this Agreement, the Company and RPT have operated the Business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice (excluding efforts associated with the potential sale of the Company) and there has not been: (i) any Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any increase in the salaries or wages payable or to become payable to any Current Employee or any material increase in the benefits available under any Benefit Plan, except for such increases arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, as required under contractual arrangements (including individual employment agreements) or as required under applicable Law;

(iii) any entry by the Company or RPT into any employment, severance or termination Contract with any Current Employee or any amendment thereto, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (iv) any sale, lease or other transfer or disposition of any material properties or assets of the Company or RPT, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (v) any Funded Indebtedness incurred or guaranteed by the Company or RPT, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and reflected in the Financial Statements; (vi) any entering into, material amendment to or early termination of any Material Contract, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (vii) any material change in the accounting methods of the Company or RPT, except as required by GAAP or applicable Law; or (viii) any Material Adverse Effect on the Business.

(j) Litigation. Except for a $60,000 demand letter from Flurida and workers compensation claims made in the ordinary course of business and disclosed in Section 3.1(j) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Existing Claims”), since January 1, 2009 until the date of this Agreement, (i) there has been no litigation, arbitration or similar proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Business, the Company or RPT and (ii) there has been no outstanding Order against the Business, the Company or RPT, except for such litigation, arbitration or similar proceeding or Order that would not interfere with the conduct of the Business as presently conducted or prevent or delay the transactions contemplated hereby.

Except as set forth in Section 3.1(m) of the Disclosure Schedule:

(vi) the Member shall not have any liability for Losses under Section 8.1(a) following the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that such survival period shall not apply to (i) any Claim under Section 8.1(a)(i) relating to the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.1(a), (b), the first sentence of (e) or (f) (which Claim shall survive indefinitely), or (ii) any Claim under Section 8.1(a)(i) relating to the breach of Section 3.1(h), Section 3.1(m) or relating to the Audits, which shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations, provided, further, that Buyer shall preserve its right to pursue a claim under Section 8.1(a) with respect to a particular breach if Buyer, prior to the expiration of such period, delivers a notice that constitutes an Indemnification Notice, but only with respect to the content of, and on the basis set forth in, such Indemnification Notice.

(vii) The Member shall not have any liability for Losses under Section 8.1(a) to the extent the matter was actually taken into account when calculating the Net Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, and no Losses related thereto shall be aggregated for purposes of subclause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.1(b);

Member covenants and agrees that it shall remain an entity, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under applicable Laws for a period of two (2) years after Closing.

8.2 Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 8, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Member and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons, from and against all Losses asserted against or incurred by any such Person by reason of or resulting from any (a) breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in Section 3.2, or (b) breach of the covenants of Buyer set forth in this Agreement.

8.3 Procedures Relating to Indemnification Among the Member and Buyer. Following the discovery of any facts or conditions that could be reasonably expected to give rise to a Loss or Losses for which indemnification under this Article 8 can be obtained, the Party seeking indemnification under this Article 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, promptly thereafter, provide written notice to the Party(ies) from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), setting forth the specific facts and circumstances, in reasonable detail, relating to such Loss or Losses, the amount of Loss or

Losses (or a non-binding, reasonable estimate thereof if the actual amount is not known or not capable of reasonable calculation) and the specific Section(s) of this Agreement upon which the Indemnified Party is relying in seeking such indemnification (an “Indemnification Notice”). Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.1(b), an Indemnified Party’s failure to provide an Indemnification Notice within the time period specified above shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligations with respect to the subject of the Indemnification Notice, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result of such failure.

8.4 Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice. In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third party, including any Governmental Entity (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with an Indemnification Notice relating to the Third Party Claim as soon as possible after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, but in no event later than 30 days thereafter and in no event more than five Business Days after being served with any summons, complaint or similar legal process. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents, including all court papers, relating to the Third Party Claim received by the Indemnified Party. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.1(b), an Indemnified Party’s failure to provide an Indemnification Notice within the time period specified above shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligations with respect to the subject of the Indemnification Notice, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) Defense. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and, if the Indemnifying Party so chooses, to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense, including any settlement or compromise of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, then the Parties shall cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) provision to the Indemnifying Party of records that are reasonably relevant to the Third Party Claim and the provision of access to employees on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after receipt of an Indemnification Notice relating to a Third Party Claim, chooses not to assume defense of the Third Party Claim or fails to defend the Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party shall (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of any Third Party Claim that does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such claim an unconditional release from all liability related to or associated with such claim (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

8.5 Setoff. Other than under the Escrow Agreement, an Indemnified Party shall have no right to satisfy, in whole or in part, any amounts owing to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, including this Article 8, or any of the documents and instruments executed and delivered pursuant hereto by setting off any amounts owed to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party.

8.6 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims arising out of or relating to Buyer’s investigation of the Member, the Company and the Business, this Agreement, the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or any Contract entered into pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth therein) or the performance by the Parties of its or their terms, and no other remedy shall be had pursuant to any contract, misrepresentation, strict liability or tort theory or otherwise by any Party and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, attorneys, consultants, insurers, successors and assigns, all such remedies being hereby expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In addition to the foregoing, the amount of indemnification obligations of the Member set forth in this Article 8 shall be the maximum amount of indemnification obligations set forth hereunder, and Buyer shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement (or any related agreements) or any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Buyer to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Buyer shall be entitled to only a single recovery for all Losses that arise in connection with the matter giving rise to a breach of representation, warranty or covenant, even if such matter shall involve breaches of multiple representations, warranties and covenants.

10. TERMINATION

10.1 General. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, only as follows:

(a) by the written agreement of Buyer and the Member;

(b) by Buyer or the Member if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to November 30, 2012 or such other date as Buyer and the Member agree in writing (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that if a Party seeking termination pursuant to this subclause (b) is in breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement and such breach would allow the other Party to refuse to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement due to the condition set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 7.1 (as applicable), then that Party may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subclause (b); or

(c) by Buyer or the Member if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law or Order, or refused to grant any required consent or approval, that has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or that otherwise prohibits the consummation of transactions by this Agreement and such Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available to a Party if such Order or other action was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

10.2 Post-Termination Obligations. To terminate this Agreement as provided in subclause (b) or (c) of Section 10.1, the terminating Party shall provide the other Parties with written notice of its election to terminate this Agreement, and upon delivery of such written notice in accordance with Section 11.9:

(a) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by any Party;

(b) Buyer shall return all documents and other materials relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement received from or on behalf of the Member (and all copies thereof other than attorney work product that Buyer’s counsel may retain in its files), whether so obtained before, on or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, to the Member in accordance with, and in the manner prescribed by, the Confidentiality Agreement; and

(c) all information relating to the Company, the Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement received or accumulated by Buyer or its representatives shall be treated as “Confidential Information” in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement (as supplemented by this Agreement), which shall remain in full force and effect, as supplemented by this Agreement, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

10.3 No Liabilities in Event of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 10.1, then this Agreement shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force and effect, and there shall be no liability under this Agreement on the part of the Parties, except that the respective obligations of the Parties under the last sentence of Section 4.4 and the provisions of Section 10.2 and Article 11 (and the Confidentiality Agreement) shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that termination shall not relieve any Party from liabilities for any breach.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by signatures exchanged via facsimile or other electronic means and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.2 Publicity. Unless required by Law, the Parties agree that no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be issued or made by or on behalf of any Party without the prior written consent of Buyer and the Member (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that the Member may make such announcements to the Company’s employees in consultation with Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Member and Buyer may each issue a press release on the Closing Date, provided that the Party issuing the release shall obtain the approval of the release prior to its issuance from Buyer and the Member (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Parties agree to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential, except to the extent required by applicable Law or for securities or financial reporting purposes and except that the Parties may disclose such terms to their respective accountants and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (so long as such persons keep the terms of this Agreement confidential as contemplated above).

11.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including its exhibits and schedules) and the Confidentiality Agreement supersede all prior agreements, and constitute (together with the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered pursuant hereto) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement, among the Parties with respect to its subject matter. There have been and are no representations, warranties or covenants among the Parties other than those set forth in this Agreement.

11.4 Assignment. Except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 1.2, no Party shall assign, transfer or encumber this Agreement, or its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Buyer and the Member, and any attempted assignment, transfer or encumbrance without such consent shall be void and without effect; provided, however, Buyer may make a collateral assignment of its rights under this Agreement to its lenders upon giving written notice thereof to Member. Subject to the previous sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

11.8 Waiver. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by the Party so waiving.

The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Any fact or item disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not by reason only of such inclusion be deemed to be material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of the Agreement. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

11.12 Conflicts; Certain Communications.

(a) Conflicts and Privilege. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Company) agrees that, notwithstanding any current or prior representation of the Company by ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP shall be allowed to represent the Member and each of its Affiliates in any matters and disputes adverse to Buyer and/or the Company that relate to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Company) hereby (a) waives any claim that Buyer or the Company has or may have that ▇▇▇▇▇ & Lardner LLP has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (b) agrees that, if a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or the Company and the Member or any of their Affiliates, then ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may represent the Member or such Affiliate in such dispute even though the interests of the Member or such Affiliate may be directly adverse to Buyer and/or the Company and even though ▇▇▇▇▇ & Lardner LLP may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Company), also agrees that, as to all attorney-client work product communications between or among ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and the Member, the Company and/or any of their respective Affiliates that relate solely to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Member and may be controlled by the Member and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between Buyer or the Company and a third party other than the Member or an Affiliate of the Member after the Closing, then the Company (to the extent applicable) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third party of confidential communications by ▇▇▇▇▇ & Lardner LLP; provided, however, that the Company may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Member. For clarification, as of Closing, unless specifically retained as to a matter, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP shall no longer represent the Company and shall comply with the terms of Section 5.5 for the benefit of the Company and the Buyer.

(b) Certain Communications. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Company) agrees that all communications with, and work product of, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Lardner LLP as they relate to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, together with all written or other materials consisting of, containing, summarizing or embodying such communications and work product (collectively, the “Protected Information”), are the property of the Member and, upon request of the Member, shall be returned to Member.

11.13 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth herein, the Parties agree that (a) this Agreement is for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any third party (including any employee of either Party), and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement or any specific term of this Agreement.
