Guarantor acknowledges that the obligations undertaken herein involve the guaranty of obligations of a Person other than Guarantor and, in full recognition of that fact, Guarantor consents and agrees that Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of this Guaranty: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment of (including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of the Liabilities or the interest rate), and/or change or extend the time for payment of, or renew, supplement or modify, any of the Liabilities, any security therefor, or any of the Loan Documents evidencing same, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Liabilities and the Loan Documents as so changed, extended, renewed, supplemented or modified; (ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order, any property securing the Liabilities; (iii) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval, waiver or consent with respect to, any of the Liabilities, or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower or other Persons (including Guarantor) or against any security for the Liabilities; (v) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (vi) accept partial payments on the Liabilities; (vii) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (viii) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and/or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine; (ix) add, release, settle, modify or discharge the obligation of any maker, endorser, guarantor, surety, obligor or any other Person who is in any way obligated for any of the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (x) settle or compromise any Liabilities, whether in a Proceeding or not, and whether voluntarily or involuntarily, dispose of any security therefor (with or without consideration and in whatever manner Lender deems appropriate), and subordinate the payment of any of the Liabilities, whether or not due, to the payment of liabilities owing to creditors of Borrower other than Lender and Guarantor; (xi) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Liabilities, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of Guarantor or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Liabilities; (xii) apply any sums it receives, by whomever paid or however realized, to any of the Liabilities and/or (xiii) take any other action which might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any other Person (including Guarantor) in respect of the Liabilities. 4.2. The invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Liabilities or any Loan Document, or the impairment or loss of any security therefor, whether caused by any action or inaction of Lender, or otherwise, shall not affect, impair or be a defense to Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. 4.3. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may enforce this Guaranty independently of any other remedy, guaranty or security Lender at any time may have or hold in connection with the Liabilities, and it shall not be necessary for Lender to marshal assets in favor of Borrower, any other guarantor of the Liabilities or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty. Guarantor expressly waives any right to require Lender to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or to proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor of the Liabilities or any collateral provided by any Person, and agrees that Lender may proceed against any obligor (including Guarantor) and/or the collateral in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender may file a separate action or actions against Guarantor, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor agrees that Lender and Borrower may deal with each other in connection with the Liabilities or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Guaranty. 4.4. Guarantor expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses which Guarantor shall or may have as of the date hereof arising or asserted by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of Borrower, or any other guarantor for the Liabilities, with respect to the Liabilities; (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security for or guaranty of the Liabilities or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Liabilities; (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Liabilities (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Liabilities (other than contingent indemnification obligations)); (iv) any failure of Lender to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person; (v) any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to Borrower or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral; (vi) any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Liabilities, including, without limitation, any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Liabilities; (vii) any act or omission of Lender or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower or any other guarantor of the Liabilities, or of any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise; (viii) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount or in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (ix) any failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person; (x) the election by Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any use of collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person; (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Lender for any reason; (xv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Liabilities (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; or (xvi) any action taken by Lender that is authorized by this Section or any other provision of any Loan Document. Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. 4.5. This is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect as to all of the Liabilities until such date as all amounts owing by Borrower to Lender shall have been paid in full in cash and all obligations of Borrower with respect to any of the Liabilities shall have terminated or expired (other than contingent indemnification obligations) (such date is referred to herein as the “Termination Date”).

Except with regard to compensation for claims paid to third parties, no indemnifying party shall have any liability to an indemnified party for any punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or loss including, without limitation, loss of revenue or loss of profits. (d) Except for enforcement of the Note or equitable remedies (including, without limitation, injunctive relief) and in the absence of fraud, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties, as the case may be, from and after the Closing Date with respect to any Loss and Expense whatsoever and any and all claims for breach or liability under this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be solely in accordance with, and limited by, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

Indemnification Limitations (a) In no event shall the Sellers be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the representations and warranties in Section 4.1 (Corporate Status), Section 4.2 (Authority), the first two sentences of each of Section 4.4(a) and 4.4(b) (Capitalization), Section 4.7 (Taxes), and Section 4.21 (Finder’s Fee) (collectively, the “Excluded Representations”) and Section 4.17 (Sufficiency of Assets)) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to Section 10.2(a)(i) that are imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds $1,400,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses from the first dollar, including both the Threshold Amount and any amounts in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sellers shall not (i) be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) in an aggregate amount in excess of $18,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”), or (ii) be liable for indemnification with respect to any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) to the extent such Loss and all Losses arising out of the same facts and circumstances are, in the aggregate, less than $15,000 (each, a “De Minimis Loss”) (and such Losses shall be disregarded and shall not be aggregated for purposes of the Threshold Amount unless and until such Losses arising out of the same facts or circumstances exceed the De Minimis Loss amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall have ninety (90) days after the receipt of an indemnification claim for any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of Section 4.20(b) (Products Liability; Warranty) in which to propose a commercially reasonable alternative to satisfy such claim, including the repair, replacement or redelivery of any products that are the subject of such claim, which such commercially reasonable alternative is subject to the prior written approval of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that any and all costs or other Losses imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of such alternative shall, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, be considered indemnifable Losses). Purchaser shall not be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) in an aggregate amount in excess of the Indemnification Cap. (b) In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments recovered by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses (after deduction for any cost of collection, deductible, retroactive premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other cost or expense directly related thereto) (each, a “Collateral Source”), (ii) any prior recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses, including by such Loss being included as a Liability in Final Net Working Capital and actually resulting in an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.4(f), or (iii) any Tax Benefit actually received by a Purchased Entity with respect to such Losses in the year of the indemnity payment or a prior year, but increased by the amount of any Tax detriment actually paid by any Indemnified Party as a result of such party’s receipt of the indemnification payment with respect to such Loss. In the event of any indemnification claim paid, Honeywell may, in its sole discretion, require the Indemnified Party to grant to Honeywell an assignment of the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against any Collateral Source. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this Article X or Article VIII is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article X or Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article X or Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment. (c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article X, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) in no event shall the Sellers or Purchaser be liable for any punitive damages, except to the extent such damages are payable to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) in no event shall the Sellers be liable for any consequential damages (it being understood and agreed that the term “consequential damages” used herein shall not include damages related to lost profits, diminution in value (including multiple of earnings or similar metrics for measuring damages), nor damages payable to an unaffiliated third party) arising out of indemnification claims for Excluded Liabilities described in Sections 2.5(a)(iv), (v)(A), (vii)(B), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), and (xiv) and Section 2.5(b)(vi) (each such indemnification claim, a “Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim”) in excess of $28,000,000; provided that the foregoing limitation on consequential damages shall not apply to the extent any such Excluded Liability relates to the Excluded Assets, the Purchased Entities’ Excluded Assets, or operation or conduct by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates of any business (other than the Business). Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to, in good faith, (x) agree upon what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages in connection with the settlement of a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim and (y) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Governmental Authority to determine what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages as part of any Governmental Order that is entered by such Governmental Authority in connection with a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim. (d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, after the Closing, indemnification and specific performance pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, Section 6.14 and Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any and all claims (whether in contract or in tort) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (other than remedies set forth in the Ancillary Agreements with regard to the transactions contemplated thereby), including in respect of any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, as a material inducement to the Sellers entering into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any claim or cause of action, known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, which it or any of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have against any Seller or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities Laws, trade regulation Laws or other Laws (including any relating to Intellectual Property, products liability (including Products Liability Claims), Tax, environmental, real estate or employee matters), by reason of this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein, except for claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions contained in this Article X and Article VIII. All payments made pursuant to this Article X and Article VIII shall be made by the Sellers to Purchaser or by Purchaser to the Sellers, as the case may be, and shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Article X shall limit any claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party alleging that Sellers defrauded such Person by intentionally omitting or misstating any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule where such omission or misstatement constitutes a breach in any material respect of any express representation or warranty, which claims shall, in any case, be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.23, 5.7(a)-(d), 11.7 and 11.8. (e) The Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof. In particular, the parties acknowledge that the Business is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event that the Sellers breach this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and Purchaser would have no adequate remedy at law, so that Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the Sellers’ obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other equitable relief.
