(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”) in which any Carlisle BV Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the BV Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause Carlisle BV to, recognize all service of Carlisle BV Continuing Employees with Carlisle BV, as the case may be, as if such service were with Buyer, for vesting and eligibility purposes in any Buyer Benefit Plan in which such Carlisle BV Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the BV Closing; provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) such service was not recognized under the corresponding benefit plan maintained by Carlisle BV.  In addition, at such time as any Carlisle BV Continuing Employees are transitioned over to benefits plans of Buyer or its Subsidiaries, Buyer or the relevant Subsidiary shall waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Carlisle BV Continuing Employees (except that, for insured benefit plans, any such waiver must be permitted under the terms of the insurance policy).

(b) The obligations of Buyer and Carlisle BV under this Section 5.05 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any director or officer to whom this Section 5.05 applies without the consent of such affected director or officer (it being expressly agreed that the directors and officers to whom this Section 5.05 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.05, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.05).

(c) In the event Buyer, Carlisle BV or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or Carlisle BV, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.05.

Section 5.12 Updates to Disclosure Schedule.  BV Seller shall comply with the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 5.14 of the MTA.

Section 5.13 Insurance Matters.

(a) Prior to the date hereof, the Company and its Affiliates have maintained insurance coverage for products liability, general liability and automobile liability provided by third-party insurers (including stop loss, excess liability and umbrella coverage) for certain liabilities of Carlisle BV relating to products claims, general claims typically insured by a general liability policy and automobile related claims (the “Existing Liabilities”) arising out of occurrences on or prior to the BV Closing Date (the “Insurance Coverage”).  BV Seller agrees to take such action as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the Insurance Coverage after the BV Closing Date for the benefit of Buyer and not to voluntarily relinquish or terminate such Insurance Coverage.  In addition, BV Seller agrees to cause the Company to name Buyer as an additional insured under all such Insurance Coverage (other than with respect to the automobile liability policy) effective on the BV Closing Date with respect to acts, omissions, occurrences, facts, or circumstances existing or occurring on or prior to the BV Closing Date.  BV Seller agrees to cause the Company to require its insurer to provide Buyer with a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage and thirty (30) days’ notice of material change, cancellation, or non-renewal.  To the extent that any claim with respect to any such Existing Liabilities that arises out of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance existing or occurring on or prior to the BV Closing Date is made against Buyer and the Insurance Coverage by its terms applies to such claim (any such claim, an “Insurance Coverage Claim”), upon Buyer’s request, BV Seller shall cause the Company to submit such Insurance Coverage Claim upon becoming aware thereof to the insurer under the applicable insurance policy for potential payment and shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the maximum recovery from the provider of the related Insurance Coverage.  Buyer shall reimburse the Company for any applicable out-of-pocket administrative and processing fees or other costs and expenses imposed by the insurer and paid by the Company specifically relating to the submitted Insurance Coverage Claims and the processing thereof.  In addition, BV Seller agrees to and shall cause the Company to cooperate with Buyer to make the benefits of the Insurance Coverage available to Buyer (subject to the terms and conditions of such Insurance Coverage) and continue, from and after the BV Closing Date, to process such Insurance Coverage Claims in the ordinary course of business in substantially the same manner as similar claims were processed prior to the BV Closing Date.  In

25

the event that (i) the Company or any of its Affiliates receives any proceeds of the Insurance Coverage with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claims thereunder and (ii) such claim has been paid by Buyer, Seller agrees to cause the Company to promptly pay or reimburse Buyer with respect to the amount so paid by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5.13.

(b) With respect to Buyer’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any amounts described in this Section 5.13 (the “Reimbursed Amounts”), BV Seller and Buyer agree that (i) BV Seller shall cause the Company to invoice Buyer on a monthly basis for all Reimbursed Amounts paid or incurred by the Company with appropriate supporting details and (ii) Buyer agrees to pay the amount reflected on such invoices as promptly as practicable and in any event within fifteen (15) days of receipt of any such invoice with appropriate supporting details.

(c) In the event that Buyer or any or its Affiliates or Representatives takes or fails to take any action which results in the Insurance Coverage not being available for any reason with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claim, BV Seller shall cause the Company to notify Buyer in writing as to what action or failure of action caused a suspension of coverage.  Buyer shall have thirty (30) days within which to remedy such action or failure of action.  If no remedy has been effected at the end of such thirty (30) day period, then the obligations of BV Seller and the Company pursuant to this Section 5.13 with respect to any such Insurance Coverage Claim shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(d) Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) in no event shall BV Seller or the Company be required to pay, or be held responsible for, any self-insured retention amounts or deductibles payable with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claim and (ii) Buyer shall be responsible for all self-insured retention amounts and deductibles payable with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claim.

(e) Buyer acknowledges that effective as of the BV Closing Date, the Company intends to remove Carlisle BV and its portion of the Transportation Products Business from the Insurance Coverage to the extent that the Insurance Coverage relates to any occurrences arising at any time after the BV Closing Date.  Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that no Insurance Coverage shall be available to Buyer with respect to any injury, loss or damage that Buyer or any third party may suffer as a result of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance occurring with respect to any period after the BV Closing Date.
