STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of March 5, 2012, by and among ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Magnetic Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Magnetic Technologies Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and AMT Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article X below.

WHEREAS, prior to the Closing, Seller has distributed to the Rollover Stockholders a number of Shares in the amount set forth opposite such Rollover Stockholder’s name on Exhibit D attached hereto;

WHEREAS, Seller and the Rollover Stockholders collectively own all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, which consists of 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (collectively, the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Buyer desires to acquire from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, all of such Shares (other than the Rollover Shares);

WHEREAS, immediately prior to the consummation of the acquisition of the Shares from the Seller, each Rollover Stockholder is contributing to Buyer that number of Rollover Shares set forth opposite such Rollover Stockholder’s name set forth on Exhibit D, in exchange for a number of shares of common stock of Buyer set forth on Exhibit D in a transaction intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction under the Code; and

WHEREAS, the respective boards of managers or directors or other governing bodies, as applicable, of Seller, the Company and Buyer have approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations and warranties and mutual covenants contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.01 Rollover; Purchase and Sale of Shares.

(a) First, each of the Rollover Stockholders will contribute (the “Rollover Contribution”) to Buyer the Rollover Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and Buyer will accept such contribution in exchange for the number of shares of common stock of Buyer set forth on Exhibit D. Each Rollover Contribution is being made pursuant to a Contribution Agreement between Buyer and the applicable Rollover Stockholder is being made in connection with, and as part of the same plan as, the acquisition by the other stockholders of Buyer of their shares of Buyer.

(b) Immediately after the Rollover Contribution, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases and acquires from Seller, all of the Shares (other than the Rollover Shares) in exchange for the payment of the Purchase Price (less the Rollover Amount)

in cash to Seller and, for and on behalf of Seller, the other amounts set forth in Section 1.02. Such payments will be made by wire transfer on the Closing Date of immediately available funds from Buyer to the Escrow Agent or as otherwise designated by Seller to the Escrow Agent in writing prior to Closing.

1.02 Payments by Buyer; Final Consideration.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Estimated Purchase Price” means a good faith estimate of the Purchase Price (less the Rollover Amount), as determined by Seller based upon the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ most recent financial statements as of the date of such estimate while taking into account changes in the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries since the date of such financial statements. The Estimated Purchase Price (less the Rollover Amount) will be calculated in a manner consistent with the definition of Purchase Price.

(b) At least two business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company has delivered to Buyer a certificate, duly executed by an authorized representative of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the outstanding amount of Indebtedness, the Seller Transaction Expenses, and the Company’s good faith calculation of the Cash on Hand (“Estimated Cash on Hand”) and the Net Working Capital (“Estimated Net Working Capital”) and, based thereon, the Estimated Purchase Price. The Estimated Cash on Hand and the Estimated Net Working Capital has been calculated in a manner consistent with the methodology set forth on Exhibit A. At Closing, Buyer will pay, or will cause to be paid, the following amounts in immediately available cash:

(i) the Working Capital Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Working Capital Escrow Account;

(ii) the Indemnification Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Indemnification Escrow Account;

(iii) the Indebtedness set forth in the Indebtedness Pay-Off Schedule in accordance with the Payoff Letters;

(iv) Seller Transaction Expenses as instructed by Seller in writing; and

(v) an amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price (less the Rollover Amount) minus the sum of (A) the Working Capital Escrow Amount and (B) the Indemnification Escrow Amount, to the Escrow Agent for distribution to Seller in accordance with the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

(c) As promptly as possible, but in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller (i) an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing and (ii) its calculation of the Purchase Price (together, the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Cash on Hand, Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses and Net Working Capital and the accounting principles and practices referred to herein. The Closing Statement will entirely disregard (i) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries or their business or assets.

(d) Buyer will, and will cause the Company to, provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable and timely access during normal business hours to the books, records (including relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data and accounting personnel of the Company to the extent reasonably requested by Seller to facilitate Seller’s review of the Closing Statement. If Seller has any objections to the Closing Statement, Seller will deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth such objections (an “Objections Statement”), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items to which Seller objects (the “Disputed Items”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within 30 days after delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement as prepared by Buyer will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto; provided that, in the event Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not provide any papers or documents reasonably requested by Seller or any of its representatives within five (5) days of request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in such 30 day period), such 30 day period will be extended by one (1) day for each additional day required for Buyer, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to fully respond to such request. Seller and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items and all such discussions related thereto will (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 15 days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Buyer, Seller or Buyer may submit any unresolved Disputed Items to Duff & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to handle such dispute, another nationally recognized, independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “Arbiter”). In the event either party submits any unresolved Disputed Items to the Arbiter, such party will, concurrently therewith, deliver a copy thereof to the other party and each party will then promptly submit a Closing Statement (which in the case of each party may be a Closing Statement that, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Items (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than the Closing Statement initially submitted to Seller, or the Objections Statement delivered to Buyer, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Arbiter. Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after submission of the unresolved Disputed Items to the Arbiter. The Arbiter will resolve such dispute by choosing, in its entirety, the Closing Statement proposed by either Seller or Buyer, and will make no other resolution of such dispute (including by combining elements of the Closing Statements submitted by both parties). Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter to notify them in writing of its resolution of such dispute as soon as practicable. The Closing Statement selected by the Arbiter will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Arbiter. The costs and expenses of the Arbiter will be paid by the party whose Closing Statement is not chosen by the Arbiter in its resolution of the dispute.

(e) If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.02(d) (the “Final Purchase Price”) is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then, within five (5) business days after the determination of Final Purchase Price, (i) Buyer will pay to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such excess for distribution to Seller in accordance with the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, and (ii) Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds the Working Capital Escrow Amount (plus any interest accrued thereon).

(f) If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then, within five (5) business days after the determination of Final Purchase Price, (i) Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such shortfall from the Working Capital Escrow Account (and, if the funds, including accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in the Working Capital Account exceed such shortfall, to pay such excess to Seller), and (ii) to the extent that such shortfall exceeds the Working Capital Escrow Amount (plus interest, if any, accrued thereon), Seller will pay to Buyer the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

1.03 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”) or such other place as the parties may agree.

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

7.01 Access to Books and Records. From and after the Closing, Buyer will cause the Company to provide Seller and its authorized representatives with reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and copying), during normal business hours, to the personnel, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to periods or occurrences prior to the Closing Date in connection with any matter, whether or not relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Seller, Buyer will not, and will not permit the Company to, for a period of five years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any books and records of the Company, or any portions thereof, relating to periods prior to the Closing Date without first giving reasonable prior notice to Seller and offering to surrender to Seller such books and records or such portions thereof.

7.02 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six years after the Closing, Buyer will, and will cause the Company and each of the Subsidiaries to, cause their respective Governing Documents to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to the limitation or elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for directors and officers (unless required by Law) than those included in such documents immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) In addition to the other rights provided for in this Section 7.02 and not in limitation thereof, from and after the Closing, no former or current director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be personally liable to the Company or its Subsidiaries for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer for any acts or omissions occurring any time prior the Closing, except to the extent a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director or officer establishes that (i) his or her acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or (ii) that his or her acts fall within the categories set forth in Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL.

(c) At the Closing, Buyer will, or will cause the Company to obtain, maintain and fully pay for irrevocable “tail” insurance policies naming the D&O Indemnified Persons as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date. Each of Buyer and Seller will pay at Closing one half of the insurance premium required to purchase such irrevocable “tail” insurance policies. Buyer will not, and will not permit the Company to, cancel or change such insurance policy in any respect.

7.03 Tax Matters.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.01 and Section 9.04 of this Agreement, Seller will indemnify each Buyer Indemnitee for any Losses relating to the following Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes have been taken into account as a liability in determining Working Capital: (i) all Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period calculated as if the Transaction Tax Deductions were not realized in a Pre-Closing Tax Period (for the avoidance of doubt, if there is net taxable income as a result of the exclusion of the Transaction Tax Deductions in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, then for purposes of determining the Company’s liability for Taxes in such Pre-Closing Tax Period any net operating loss carryforwards of the Company or other available Tax attributes that would have been available if the Transaction Tax Deductions had not been realized will be taken into account); (ii) all Taxes that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is liable for (including under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. applicable law or regulation) as a result of being a member of (or leaving) a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax group on or before the Closing Date; and (iii) all Taxes that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is liable for as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise which arise as a result of any transaction occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (other than Taxes in connection with a lease, loan, or similar agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business). Within five (5) days of the filing of any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to which period Seller has any Tax liability under this Agreement calculated as described in Section 7.03(a)(i) hereof and which Tax Return is (i) prepared in accordance with Section 7.03(c) and (ii) approved by Seller in accordance with Section 7.03(c), the Seller will provide to Buyer an executed joint instruction letter, prepared in accordance with the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, authorizing the immediate release to Buyer of the amounts owed pursuant to this Section 7.03(a)

(b) For purposes of determining the Taxes that Seller is liable for under this Section 7.03 for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, Seller and Buyer agree to use the following conventions:

(i) Taxes in the form of interest or penalties that relate to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Period will be treated as occurring in a Pre-Closing Period whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date;

(ii) to the extent permissible under applicable legal requirements, to elect to have the current Tax year of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries end on the Closing Date and, if such election is not permitted or required in a jurisdiction with respect to a Tax or Tax Return such that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to file a Tax Return for any Tax for a Straddle Period, the parties agree to use the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date:

(A) in the case of income Taxes, Taxes imposed on sales or receipts, and Taxes imposed on payments, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be determined as if the Company or the applicable Subsidiary filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology”; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement and consistent with Section 7.03(a)(i) all Transaction Tax Deductions will be treated as properly allocable to the portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; and

(B) in the case of all other Taxes, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(c) At Seller’s expense (not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate), Buyer will cause to be prepared on behalf of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, all federal, state, local and foreign income Tax Returns for any Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (collectively, the “Seller Tax Returns”). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will waive any carryback of any net operating loss, capital loss or credit on any such Seller Tax Return; provided, however, that this sentence will not apply if the carryback would not have arisen without the Transaction Tax Deductions. Each Seller Tax Return and any Tax Return that includes any period prior to the Closing but is filed after the Closing will be prepared in accordance with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods. Buyer will submit each Seller Tax Return to Seller for Seller’s review, comments, and approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Seller Tax Return (after taking into account all appropriate extensions). Buyer will make any changes reasonably requested by Seller to such Seller Tax Returns prior to filing. Seller will be responsible for paying all Taxes shown as due on any Seller Tax Return, and will be entitled to

receive any refund shown on any Seller Tax Return (other than a refund (or portion thereof) that would not have been available if the Transaction Tax Deductions had not been taken into account), in each case to the extent not previously taken into account in determining Working Capital. Buyer will cause the Company to timely file the Seller Tax Returns, taking into account any applicable extensions.

(d) The parties will cooperate with each other to provide each other with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Returns, including the filing of any claim for refund resulting from a carryback of a tax loss (including any Transaction Tax Deduction), and any Tax audit or other examination in connection with an administrative or judicial proceeding involving a taxing authority relating to Taxes. Such cooperation will include, including upon either party’s request, providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such matters and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information.

(e) Any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes, will be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller. Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(f) Buyer will not make any election under Code Section 338 (or any similar provision under state, local, or foreign law) with respect to the acquisition of the Company and its Affiliates.

(g) Buyer will not, without Seller’s prior written consent cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) amend any Tax Return that relates in whole or in part to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) make any election that has retroactive effect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Seller’s consent will only be required to the extent such amendment or election gives or could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) If any Governmental Body issues to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) a written notice of its intent to audit, examine, investigate or conduct another action with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any such Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) a written notice of deficiency, a written notice of reassessment, a written proposed adjustment, a written assertion of claim or written demand concerning Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (collectively, a “Tax Claim”), Buyer will notify Seller of its receipt of such communication from the Governmental Body within fifteen (15) days after receiving such notice of deficiency, reassessment, adjustment or assertion of claim or demand. No failure or delay in the performance of the foregoing will reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that Seller is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. Seller, at its sole cost and expense, will have the right to assume the defense of or control of any examination, investigation, audit, or other action in respect of any Tax Claim (a “Tax Contest”). If Seller assumes the defense or control of any such Tax Contest, (A) Seller will keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of such contest, including any communications with the relevant taxing authority, (B) Buyer may participate in (but not control) such defense at Buyer’s sole cost

and expense, and (C) Seller will not settle, resolve, compromise or abandon any Tax Contest without Buyer’s written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). In the event Seller fails to assume the defense of any such Tax Contest, the Company, at Seller’s cost and expense (not to exceed a reasonable amount), will control any such Tax Contest; provided, that (i) Seller, at its sole cost and expense, will have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest, (ii) Buyer will not settle, resolve, compromise or abandon any such Tax Contest without the written consent of Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement or other resolution relates to Taxes for which Seller is liable under this Agreement, and (iii) Buyer will keep Seller reasonably informed regarding the status of such contest, including any communications with the relevant taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.03(h), (Y) should any Tax Contest involve a Straddle Period, Transaction Tax Deductions (except as provided in (Z) below), or any situation where a part of Taxes which are the subject of the Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to be borne by Buyer and a part of such Taxes could reasonably be expected to be borne by the Seller, the parties will jointly consult and proceed as to any such Tax Contest and neither party will settle, resolve, compromise or abandon such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (Z) if a Tax Contest solely involves any Transaction Tax Deduction, Buyer will assume the defense or control of such Tax Contest. For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller elects to control a Tax Contest pursuant to this Section 7.03(h), Buyer will or will cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to execute and relevant powers of attorney or similar forms so that Seller and its counsel may control such contest and communicate directly with the relevant taxing authority.

(i) All refunds of Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 7.03(b)) (whether in the form of cash received from the applicable Governmental Body or a direct credit against Taxes otherwise payable for any Tax period) will be the property of Seller, except to the extent such refunds would not have been available had the transaction Tax Deductions not been taken into account. To the extent that Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates receives a refund that is the property of Seller, Buyer will pay to Seller the amount of such refund, net of any Taxes and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that Buyer, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries incur (or will incur) with respect to such refund (and related interest). The net amount due to Seller will be payable ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Body (or, if the refund is in the form of direct credit, ten (10) days after filing the Tax Return claiming such credit). To the extent a refund that gave rise to a payment hereunder is subsequently disallowed, or otherwise reduced, Seller will refund to Buyer the amount of Taxes that Buyer, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries incurs as a result of such disallowance, reduction, or loss. Nothing in this Section 7.03(i) will require that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds will be for the benefit of Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries) that is with respect to (i) any refund of Tax that is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred in a taxable period that begins after the Closing Date (or portion of any Straddle Period beginning on or after the Closing Date), (ii) any refund of Tax resulting from the payments of Taxes made after Closing Date to the extent Seller has not indemnified Buyer, the Company, or any applicable Subsidiary for such Taxes, (iii) any refund for Tax that has been taken into account in determining Working Capital, or (iv) any refund for Tax to the extent that it gives rise to a payment obligation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person under applicable legal requirements or pursuant to a provision of any agreement that was entered into (or assumed) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing Date, provided that if such refund is received and paid over under legal requirement or agreement, no indemnity of Buyer by Seller will be required to the extent of the amounts first received.

(j) Buyer will not take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “intermediary transaction tax shelter” described in IRS Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.

7.04 Termination of Related Party Contracts. Each of the Contracts (as they may be amended through the Closing Date), if any, set forth on the Terminated Contract Schedule will be, and hereby are, terminated effective immediately upon Closing and all obligations of the parties thereunder will terminate, and hereby are terminated, without further action on the part of any of Seller, the Company, the Subsidiaries or other parties thereto and be of no further force and effect and without any liability to any of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

7.05 Additional Covenants. The parties agree to such other post-Closing covenants, if any, set forth on Exhibit C hereto.

7.06 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such requesting party’s expense, any other party to this Agreement will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all further or other actions as the requesting party may reasonably request for the purpose of evidencing or effectuating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

9.02 Indemnification of Buyer.

(a) From and after the Closing (but subject to the terms and conditions of Article IX and Exhibit C of this Agreement), Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and any of its Affiliates, the Company and any Subsidiary and their respective officers, directors, employees or agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against, and will pay to Buyer Indemnitees the amount of, any and all Losses, whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim, arising out of or resulting from, or in connection with:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or the Company contained in Article III or Article IV;

(ii) the failure to pay any Taxes pursuant to Section 7.03(a), Section 7.03(e), or Section 7.03(i) (the “Tax Payment Covenants”);

(iii) any failure of Seller to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement requiring performance by Seller after the Closing (other than the Tax Payment Covenant);

9.04 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02 of this Agreement:

(i) no Buyer Indemnitees will be entitled to any indemnification for Losses in respect of claims under Sections 9.02(a)(i) and 9.02(a)(iii) if, with respect to any individual item of Loss (or, in the case of a series of related items of Loss, the aggregate thereof), the Loss is less than $25,000 (the “Minor Claims Threshold”); provided, however, that the Minor Claims Threshold will not apply to Losses resulting from breaches of the Fundamental Representations or from breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.08 (Tax Matters);

(ii) (A) no Buyer Indemnitees will be entitled to any indemnification for Losses in respect of claims under Sections 9.02(a)(i) and 9.02(a)(iii) unless the aggregate of all such Losses (excluding claims that do not exceed the Minor Claims Threshold) would exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $937,500 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible; provided, however, that (x) notwithstanding the foregoing, as a further limitation and still subject to the Deductible, no Buyer Indemnitees will be entitled to seek indemnification as provided in Item 2 of Part B of Exhibit C and (y) the Deductible will not apply to Losses resulting from breaches of the Fundamental Representations or from breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.08 (Tax Matters); (B) no Buyer Indemnitees will be entitled to any indemnification for Losses in respect of claims under Section 9.02(a)(vi) with respect to matters described in Item 4 of Part C of Exhibit C unless the aggregate of all such Losses would exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $750,000, and then only to the extent such Losses exceed $750,000; and

(iii) Seller’s aggregate liability in respect of claims to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee for Losses pursuant to:

(A) Section 9.02(a)(i) (other than in respect to Losses resulting from the breach of the Fundamental Representations), Section 9.02(a)(ii), Item 3 of Part C of Exhibit C and Item 4 of Part C of Exhibit C will not exceed, in the aggregate, the Applicable Cap (provided, however, to the extent that Losses are taken into account in reducing the Applicable Cap in accordance with clauses (b)(iii), (b)(iv), (c)(iii) or (c)(iv) of the definition thereof, such Losses shall not also be applied against the Applicable Cap and its availability for purposes of determining remaining availability thereof);

(B) Section 9.02(a)(i), to the extent consisting of Losses resulting from the breach of the Fundamental Representations, and Section 9.02(a)(iv) will not exceed in the aggregate (together with all other Losses incurred or paid by Seller under this Agreement or received by Buyer from Escrow Funds), the Aggregate Cap;

(D) Item 2 of Part C of Exhibit C will not exceed in the aggregate the amount set forth therein;

(E) Sections 9.02(a)(iii) and 9.02(a)(v) will not exceed in the aggregate, the amount equal to the Intermediate Cap;

provided, however, that (x) none of the limitations set forth in this Section (E) will apply in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct, and (y) in no event will Seller’s aggregate liability under this Article IX exceed, subject to the other limitations set forth herein and on Exhibit C hereof, the Aggregate Cap.

(b) From and after the Closing (but subject in all cases to the terms and conditions and limitations of this Article IX and Exhibit C hereof), any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees for which Seller is liable hereunder will be effected,first, to the full extent of any amounts then remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, by a payment made from the Indemnification Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and, to the extent the remaining Escrow Funds are insufficient, directly from Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller will have no obligation to indemnify any of the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Taxes of any Person that are attributable to (i) any Post-Closing Tax Period (or any other Losses directly related to any such Taxes), except to the extent arising solely from a breach of the representation or warranty made by Seller in Sections 4.08(d), 4.08(h), 4.08(i)(A) or 4.08(m), (ii) Taxes of any Person other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are attributable to any lease, loan, or similar agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business on or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) any transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is outside the ordinary course of business and occurs on the Closing Date after the Closing, (iv) any taxable income or gain recognized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is attributable to the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the manner in which Buyer finances such purchase), or (v) any breach by Buyer of Section 7.03(f), Section 7.03(g), or Section 7.03(j).

(d) All payments under Sections 9.02 and 9.03 will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all relevant Tax purposes.

(e) The amount of any and all Losses under this Article IX will be determined net of (i) any amounts actually received by any Indemnified Party under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, indemnity, reimbursement arrangement, Contract or other arrangement (collectively, “Alternate Arrangements”), net of any costs incurred in connection with the collection thereof, including deductibles and (ii) any Tax detriment or Tax benefit actually realized with respect to such Losses as and to the extent realized during the Tax Survival Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if a net Tax benefit is realized during the Tax Survival Period with respect to a Loss after an indemnity payment has been made, the Indemnified Party will promptly pay over that value of such net Tax benefit. The amount of Tax detriment or Tax benefit actually realized will be determined by comparing the Indemnified Party’s cumulative liability for Taxes without taking into account the relevant Loss with the Indemnified Party’s cumulative liability for Taxes taking into account the relevant Loss (and for such purpose, any deductions associated with such Loss will be treated as the last item of deduction). In any case where an Indemnified Person recovers under any Alternative Arrangement, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Person was indemnified pursuant to this Article IX (either by Seller or from Escrow Funds), such Indemnified Person will promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Person an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the actual amount received under such Alternative Arrangements, net of any costs incurred in connection with the collection thereof, including deductibles, and (B) the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Person (either by Seller or from Escrow Funds) with respect to such Losses. Each Indemnified Person will make such commercially reasonable efforts to collect amounts available under Alternative Arrangements and realize any Tax Benefit; provided, however, that satisfying such obligation will not be a condition to, or a limitation on, any party’s indemnification rights under this Article IX, except with respect to any indemnification by Seller for Item 3 of Part C of Exhibit C and Item 4 of Part C of Exhibit C for which each Indemnified Person is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all amounts under any Alternative Arrangements. In the event that an Indemnifying Party makes any payment to any Indemnified Party for indemnification for Item 3 of Part C of Exhibit C hereof or for Item 4 of Part C of Exhibit C hereof for which such Indemnified Party could have collected on a claim under any Alternative Arrangement, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to pursue claims and conduct litigation on behalf of such Indemnified Party and any of its successors, to pursue and collect on any indemnification or other remedy available to such Indemnified Party thereunder with respect to such claim and generally to be subrogated to the rights of such Indemnified Party. Except pursuant to a settlement agreed to by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will not waive or release any contractual right to recover under any Alternative Arrangement for Item 3 of Part C of Exhibit C hereof or for Item 4 of Part C of Exhibit C hereof any loss subject to indemnification hereby without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(f) In no event will Buyer Indemnitees be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of consequential, incidental or punitive damages, except in the case of fraud or criminal misconduct and except to the extent such damages were actually awarded, paid or incurred in a Third-Party Claim.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party will be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX with respect to any claim for Losses to the extent that the

amount thereof, if any, was reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.02. Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to maintain, in accordance with their terms, following the Closing each Alternate Arrangement set forth on the Alternate Arrangement Schedule.

(h) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses for which any Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i), including for purposes of determining application of the Minor Claims Threshold and the Deductible, all materiality qualifiers (including Material Adverse Effect) and monetary thresholds with the same or similar effect that are contained in the applicable representation, warranty or covenant will be deemed to be deleted and will be given no force or effect.

9.05 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) Promptly after receipt by any Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees (for purposes of this Section 9.05, the “Indemnified Party”) of any Proceeding, claim or demand made against it by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) which gives rise to a claim for indemnification against an indemnifying party under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”), then the Indemnified Party will as promptly as practicable send notice in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim (including the factual basis for the Third-Party Claim, and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third-Party Claim) to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that

failure to give such notification to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third-Party Claim.

(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and 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 Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX for any fees or other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not pursuant to Section 9.05(c) permitted to, assume the defense of a Proceeding, the Indemnified Party will have the right to assume the defense and employ separate counsel to represent such Indemnified Party and the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense thereof 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 will control such defense and all the parties hereto will cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim (y) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Laws or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, and (B) the primary relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (z) the Indemnified Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If timely notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within ten (10) business days after the Indemnified Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not admit any liability with respect thereto but will be bound by any final determination made by any Governmental Body in respect thereof. The Indemnified Party will not agree to or make any compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that in the event that the Indemnifying Party for any reason withholds such consent with respect to any Third-Party Claim in respect of Fullerton Losses, Ogallala Losses and/or Marengo Losses (as such terms are defined in Exhibit C hereto), the Indemnified Party shall, at any time thereafter up to and including the Environmental Indemnity Survival Date, and notwithstanding that any such Losses have not yet been incurred, be permitted to make a claim for such Losses incurred (subject to the Indemnifying Party’s continuing consent right) in respect of such Third-Party Claim, without any limitation on the period for recovering such Losses from Seller, subject only to the Applicable Cap and the other limitations set forth herein.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party reasonably determines in good faith that a Third-Party Claim would materially adversely affect it if a judgment is rendered in favor of such claimant other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its prior written consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) The provisions of this Section 9.05 will not apply with respect to any Tax Contests, which will instead be governed by Section 7.03.

9.06 Exclusive Remedy. The parties each acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, other than in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct, will be expressly limited to the remedies set forth in this Article IX.

11.05 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Buyer may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to any Person that is or becomes a lender to Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates as security for obligations to such lender, provided that no such assignment will in any way affect Buyer’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement and (ii) Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement to any of its beneficial owners.

11.06 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the parties will amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any prohibited or invalid provision with an effective and valid provision that gives effect to the intent of the parties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

11.07 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The disclosure schedules attached to this Agreement have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately titled sections corresponding to sections of this Agreement, provided, however, that each section of the disclosure schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the disclosure schedules to the extent that the

relevance of such disclosure to such other sections is readily apparent. Capitalized terms used in the disclosure schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the disclosure schedules or Exhibits attached hereto is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including, without limitation, whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or herein or in the disclosure schedules should not be interpreted as indicating that Seller or the Company has determined that such item is necessarily material or amounts to a Material Adverse Effect, is outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the disclosure schedules or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any disclosure schedule or Exhibit is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement of the Company. The information contained in this Agreement and in the disclosure schedules and Exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including, without limitation, any violation of Law or breach of Contract).

11.08 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or the disclosure schedules or Exhibits hereto may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by Buyer, the Company and Seller. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof will extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

11.09 Complete Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules attached hereto) and the other Transaction Documents contain (along with the Confidentiality Agreement) the entire agreement of the parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Company and supersedes all prior agreements (other than the Confidentiality Agreement) among the parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Company. The parties agree that prior drafts of this Agreement will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of any provision hereof or the intent of the parties with respect hereto and that such drafts will be deemed joint work product of the parties.

11.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

11.11 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State.

11.12 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. SUBJECT TO SECTION 1.02 (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE ARISING THEREUNDER), THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE COURTS LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE OR THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED

AGREEMENT, CERTIFICATE OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND BY THIS AGREEMENT WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, ANY DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION FOR THE INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED AGREEMENT, CERTIFICATE OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, THAT THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SUCH COURTS OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS OR THAT THEIR PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM EXECUTION, THAT THE ACTION IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, OR THAT THE VENUE OF THE ACTION IS IMPROPER. SERVICE OF PROCESS WITH RESPECT THERETO MAY BE MADE UPON BUYER BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.04.

11.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.13.

11.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No Person other than the parties hereto will have any rights, remedies, obligations or benefits under any provision of this Agreement, other than the rights and benefits as set forth in Sections 7.02, 9.02, 9.03, 9.06, 11.01 and Part D of Exhibit C (to the extent provided therein).

11.15 Representations of Seller and its Affiliates. Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnitees, that, following the closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may serve as counsel to Seller and its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP prior to the Closing Date of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby (i) waive any claim they have or may have that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary and Seller or any of its Affiliates, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may represent Seller or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries and even though ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) also further agree that, as to all communications among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and the Company, its Subsidiaries, and Seller or Seller’s Affiliates and representatives, that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller and may be controlled by Seller and will not pass to or

be claimed by Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and a third party other than a party to this Agreement after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP to such third party; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller.

11.16 Conflict Between Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other Transaction Document, this Agreement will govern and control.

11.17 Specific Performance. Each of Seller, the Company and Buyer acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party will have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at law or in equity, to seek to enforce its rights and the other party’s obligations hereunder not only pursuant to Article IX hereof but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security).

11.18 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto will re execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

11.19 Buyer Deliveries. Any document or item will be deemed (a) “delivered” within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item was actually delivered to Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives, or (b) “made available” within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item is included in the electronic data room or, if requested by Buyer, made available upon request, including at the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ offices.
