(i) Pension Plans.

(A) To the Knowledge of the Company in reliance on its enrolled actuary, the funding method used in connection with each Pension Plan which is subject to the minimum funding requirements of ERISA is acceptable and the actuarial assumptions used in connection with funding each such plan are reasonable. No “accumulated funding deficiency” (for which an excise tax is due or would be due in the absence of a waiver) as defined in Section 412 of the Code or as defined in Section 302(a)(2) of ERISA, whichever may apply, has been

incurred with respect to any Pension Plan with respect to any plan year, whether or not waived. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to pay when due any “required installment”, within the meaning of Section 412(m) of the Code and Section 302(e) of ERISA, whichever may apply, with respect to any Pension Plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is subject to any lien imposed under Section 412(n) of the Code or Section 302(f) of ERISA, whichever may apply, with respect to any Pension Plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability for unpaid contributions with respect to any Pension Plan.

(B) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security to any Company Pension Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(C) The form of each Pension Plan and each related trust agreement, annuity contract, or other funding instrument that is intended to be qualified is qualified in form and tax-exempt under the provisions of Code Sections 401(a) (or 403(a), as appropriate) and 501(a) and has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be so qualified in form from its adoption date if such a determination is required.

(D) Each Company Pension Plan and each related trust agreement, annuity contract or other funding instrument presently complies and has been maintained in compliance, in all material respects, with its terms and, both as to form and in operation, with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations which are applicable to such plans, including without limitation ERISA and the Code, except where such noncompliance has been corrected pursuant to the terms of or in a manner consistent with the principles under the IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System, or is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(E) The Company has paid all premiums (and interest charges and penalties for late payment, if applicable) due the PBGC with respect to each Pension Plan for each plan year thereof for which such premiums are required. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in, or is a successor or parent corporation to an entity that has engaged in, a transaction described in Section 4069 of ERISA. There has been no “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043(b) of ERISA and the PBGC regulations under such Section) with respect to any Pension Plan for which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate has any unsatisfied liability. No filing has been made by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate with the PBGC, and no proceeding has been commenced by the PBGC, to terminate any Pension Plan. To the Knowledge of the Company, no condition exists and no event has occurred that could constitute grounds for the termination of any Pension Plan by the PBGC. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any unsatisfied liability because the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, at any time, (1) ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions

of Section 4062(e) of ERISA, (2) withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA, or (3) ceased making contributions on or before the Closing Date to any Pension Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate made contributions during the six years prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) Multiemployer Plans. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has, at any time within the last 72 months, maintained, contributed to or been obligated to maintain or contribute to, or withdrawn from, a Multiemployer Plan.

(iii) Welfare Plans.

(A) Each Welfare Plan presently complies and has been maintained in compliance, in all material respects, with its terms and, both as to form and operation, with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations which are applicable to such Welfare Plan, including without limitation ERISA and the Code.

(B) Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.13, none of the Company, any ERISA Affiliate or any Welfare Plan has any present or future obligation to make any payment to, or with respect to any present or former employee of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate pursuant to, any retiree medical benefit plan, or other retiree Welfare Plan, and no condition exists which would prevent the Company from amending or terminating any such benefit plan or Welfare Plan.

(iv) Unrelated Business Taxable Income. No Employee Plan (or trust or other funding vehicle pursuant thereto) is subject to any tax under Code Section 511.

(v) Fiduciary Duties and Prohibited Transactions. Neither the Company, or to the Knowledge of the Company, any plan fiduciary of any Welfare Plan or Pension Plan, has engaged in any transaction in violation of Sections 404 or 406 of ERISA or any “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, for which no exemption exists under Section 408 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(2) or (d) of the Code, or has otherwise violated the provisions of Part 4 of Title I, Subtitle B of ERISA. The Company has not, to the Knowledge of the Company, knowingly participated in a violation of Part 4 of Title I, Subtitle B of ERISA by any plan fiduciary of any Welfare Plan or Pension Plan and has not been assessed any civil penalty under Section 502(l) of ERISA.

(vi) Validity and Enforceability. Each employee welfare benefit plan, related trust agreement, annuity contract or other funding instrument is legally valid and binding and in full force and effect.

(vii) No Amendments. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.13, neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any announced plan or legally binding commitment to create any additional Employee Plans which are intended to cover present or former employees, directors or consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (with respect to their relationship with such entities) or to amend or modify any existing Employee Plan.

(viii) No Other Material Liability. To the Knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred in connection with which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate or any Employee Plan, directly or indirectly, could be subject to any material liability (A) under any statute, regulation or governmental order relating to any Employee Plan or (B) pursuant to any obligation of the Company to indemnify any Person against liability incurred under any such statute, regulation or order as they relate to the Employee Plans.

(ix) Unpaid Contributions. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability for unpaid contributions under Section 515 of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan.

(x) No Acceleration or Creation of Rights.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants of the Purchasers set forth in Sections 6.8 and 6.9(b) shall survive with respect to each Purchaser for so long as such Purchaser holds Preferred Shares, the Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.

8.2 Indemnification by the Company.

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, advisors, agents and employees (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all demands, losses, damages, penalties, claims, liabilities, obligations, actions, causes of action, and expenses (including without limitation, costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such claim or action and reasonable legal fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), arising by reason of or resulting from (a) any breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought against or made against such Indemnified Party and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance, breach or enforcement of this Agreement,

the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Standstill Agreement or the Amendment No. 1 to Rights Agreement by the Company.

8.3 Indemnification by the Purchasers.

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates, directors, officers, advisors, agents and employees (the “Company Indemnified Parties” and, together with the Purchasers Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses arising by reason of or resulting from any material breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant thereto.

8.4 Limitation on Indemnities.

No claim may be made against an indemnifying party for indemnification pursuant to either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses indemnifiable pursuant to such section exceeds $250,000; provided, however, that thereupon the Company shall become obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the full amount of all Losses. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which any indemnifying party and its Affiliates, collectively, shall be required to indemnify the indemnified parties hereunder, in aggregate, pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall not exceed $6,000,000.

8.5 Defense of Claims.

If a claim for Losses (a “Claim”) is to be made by an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this ARTICLE VIII. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party hereunder, notice thereof (a “Third Party Notice”) shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After receipt of a Third Party Notice, if the indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or

action and any appeal arising therefrom; and the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom and appoint its own counsel therefor, at its own cost. The parties shall also cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Third Party Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate therein at its own cost. In the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the indemnifying party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

8.6 Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

Subject to Section 9.4 and except in the case of fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall be restricted to the indemnification rights set forth in this ARTICLE VIII.
