shares may be delivered so that the value of the shares delivered (as determined above) will equal $250,000,000.

At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Honeywell shall provide Purchaser with an estimated statement of cash and cash equivalents of the Transferred Entities as of the Effective Time (such amount, the “Estimated Transferred Cash”). Honeywell shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the cash and cash equivalents of the Transferred Entities as of the Effective Time to be distributed from the Transferred Entities to a Seller (or any Affiliate of a Seller) prior to Closing; however such distribution shall not be in violation of applicable Law. Prior to the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputes as to such amount of the Estimated Transferred Cash. At the Closing, the Cash Consideration shall be increased by the amount of any Estimated Transferred Cash. During the thirty (30) day period following the Closing, Honeywell and Purchasers shall cooperate in good faith to determine the actual amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Transferred Entities as of the Effective Time (such amount, the “Actual Transferred Cash”). The parties will submit to each other such supporting documentation as necessary to determine the amount of the Actual Transferred Cash. Following the final determination of Actual Transferred Cash, (i) if the Estimated Transferred Cash exceeds the Actual Transferred Cash, Sellers shall refund such excess amount to Purchaser in cash, and (ii) if the Estimated Transferred Cash is less than the Actual Transferred Cash, Purchasers shall pay such shortfall amount to Sellers in cash, in each case, within three (3) Business Days by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account indicated by the applicable party. Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Purchaser shall timely pay all fees in connection with any filings with Antitrust Agencies.

(b) Sellers shall give promptly such notices to third parties and use its or their commercially reasonable best efforts (which shall not include any obligation of Sellers to pay any consideration therefor or agree to relinquish or modify any rights in exchange therefor) to obtain the consents listed on Section 3.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser shall cooperate with Sellers in their efforts to obtain such consents. Purchaser shall pay any costs or expenses in obtaining such consents; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connection with any such consent or to consent to any change in the terms of any agreement or arrangement which Purchaser in its sole discretion may deem adverse to the interests of Purchaser or the Business.

From the date of this Agreement through the date of termination of the required waiting period under the HSR Act, Purchaser shall not make any acquisition or agree to make any acquisition or enter into or agree to enter into any joint venture or similar arrangement that could reasonably be expected to hinder or delay the obtaining of clearance or the expiration of the required waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable foreign antitrust Law.

To the extent there are any Contracts under which benefits accrue to both the Business and to other businesses of the Sellers, the Sellers and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to continue to cause the benefits (and related Liabilities) to be available to the Business or such other businesses in the same manner after the Closing. To the extent that a Contract that was transferred to Purchaser at Closing as a Purchased Asset is necessary to the Sellers’ operation of other businesses in addition to the Business, Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to make available to Sellers the benefits that were necessary to conduct such other businesses prior to the Closing (and related Liabilities) to be available to Sellers in the same manner after the Closing at prices consistent with historical practice of the Business.

5.7 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party hereto incurring such expenses. Except for any VAT payable on the sale of the Purchased Assets relating to the UK Business which shall be governed by Section 5.15(h), all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (all such items so incurred (other than VAT governed by Section 5.15(h)) are referred to herein collectively as “Transfer Taxes”), shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Sellers. All necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes shall be filed by the party which is primarily liable for the payment of such Transfer Taxes to the relevant Taxing Authority under applicable Law, or in cases where neither party is so liable, then the Purchaser. Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and take actions reasonably requested by the other to permit Transfer Taxes to be paid, and any related Tax Returns to be filed, on a timely basis.

5.8 Employees and Employee Benefit Plans. This Section 5.8 contains the covenants and agreements of the parties with respect to (i) the status of employment of the employees of Sellers, the Transferred Entities and any Affiliates of the Sellers or Transferred Entities, in each case to the extent employed in the Business as of the Closing Date other than Retained Employees (“Employees”), upon the sale of the Business to Purchaser, and (ii) the employee benefits and employee benefit plans provided or covering such Employees and former employees of the Transferred Entities who terminated employment with the Transferred Entities while employed in the Business or who retired from the Business prior to the Closing Date (“Former Employees”).

(a) United States Employees. This Section 5.8(a) applies to Employees employed as of the Closing Date in the United States Business.

(i) Continuation of Employment; Assumption of Current Liabilities for Employees. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause an Affiliate to, offer employment to all salaried and hourly persons who are designated on the records of Sellers as of the Closing Date as Employees with respect to the United States Business, if then actively at work, or on vacation leave, leave of absence, sick leave, short-term (but not long-term) disability leave. Such Employees accepting Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s offer will become “Transferred US Employees” as of the Effective Time. For those Employees who would otherwise be required to receive offers of employment pursuant to this Section 5.8(a)(i) but who are receiving long-term disability benefits as of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, offer employment to each such US Employee to the extent he recovers from his disability and presents himself to Purchaser or such Affiliate for active employment within six months of the Closing Date. Each Employee described in the preceding sentence who accepts Purchaser’s (or its Affiliate’s) offer will become a Transferred US Employee as of the date he returns to work with the Purchaser or its Affiliate. Terms of employment continuation for each Transferred US Employee shall (A) be at the same work location, (B) pay a base wage rate no less than each such Transferred US Employee’s base wage rate in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, (C) provide an incentive compensation opportunity no less than each such Transferred US Employee’s incentive compensation opportunity in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date for the balance of the year in which the Closing Date occurs and thereafter

such incentive compensation opportunity, if any, as is provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates, and (D) as of the time the Employees become Transferred US Employees, provide retirement and welfare benefits that are the same as those provided to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser and its Affiliates (“Purchaser’s U.S. Benefit Plans”). The terms and conditions of employment and total compensation and employees benefits of the Transferred US Employees as of the Closing Date shall be, in the aggregate, reasonably comparable to those provided by Sellers immediately prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall credit, or shall cause its Affiliates to credit, each Transferred US Employee’s service with Sellers, the Transferred Entities and their respective Affiliates for purposes of eligibility, participation and vesting , but not (except as expressly otherwise provided herein) benefit accrual. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall honor any re-employment rights mandated by applicable Law or by contract of any Employees. Purchaser shall likewise honor and assume all liability for accrued wages, earned but unused current year vacation benefits, entitlements to tuition reimbursements approved, subject to applicable conditions, prior to Closing for courses and programs of study completed after Closing, and bonus entitlement for the portion of the year or performance period ending on the Closing Date for all Transferred US Employees. Nothing in this Agreement shall, or shall be construed to, limit the ability of the Purchaser to terminate the employment of any Transferred US Employee at any time after the Closing Date.

(ii) Severance Protection. If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates terminates the employment of any Transferred US Employee on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date (including, but not limited to, the termination of any Transferred US Employee because he refuses to accept a work relocation that is greater than fifty (50) miles from his work location as of the Closing Date), Purchaser or its Affiliate shall provide a severance benefit consisting of notice pay, salary continuation and continued insurance coverage that shall be no less than the severance benefit the Transferred US Employee would have received under the terms of a Seller’s, or a Transferred Entity’s severance plan(s), as applicable, in effect on the Closing Date, calculated as though the Transferred US Employee worked continuously (by combining such Transferred US Employee’s service for Sellers and the Transferred Entities and their Affiliates on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Affiliates on the other hand) until his termination date with Purchaser or its Affiliate. Following the twelve month period after the Closing Date, Transferred US Employees shall be entitled to the benefit of such severance plan, policy or practice generally applicable to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser or its Affiliates in effect as of a Transferred Employees date of employment termination; provided that service with Sellers, the Transferred Entities, Purchaser, and their respective Affiliates shall be taken into account in computing the amount of such benefit.

(iii) Cooperation. The United States Business agrees to use reasonable efforts to facilitate the transition of Transferred US Employees to employment with Purchaser or its Affiliate as of the Effective Time or such later time as may be required by Section 5.8(a)(i).

(iv) Savings Plan and Pension Plan.

(A) Savings Plan. Effective as of the time the Employees become Transferred US Employees, Transferred US Employees shall cease to be eligible to contribute to the Honeywell Savings and Ownership Plan (“Sellers’ Savings Plan”). Effective as of the Closing Date (the “Savings Plan Commencement Date”), Purchaser shall maintain,

one or more tax-qualified defined contribution savings plans (“Purchaser’s Savings Plans”) that shall (i) permit immediate participation as of the Savings Plan Commencement Date for the Transferred US Employees who were eligible to participate in Sellers’ Savings Plan as of the day before the Closing Date; (ii) credit all service that was credited under Sellers’ Savings Plan for purposes of the eligibility, vesting and match eligibility requirements of the Purchaser’s Savings Plans; and (iii) provide for tax-deferred contributions pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s Savings Plan shall not be required to offer participation to any Transferred US Employee prior to the date he becomes a Transferred US Employee.

(B) Pension Plans. Effective as of the time the Employees become Transferred US Employees, Transferred US Employees shall no longer be eligible to accrue benefits under any defined benefit pension plan sponsored by a Seller (“Sellers’ Pension Plan”). Sellers shall retain all assets and liabilities related to Sellers’ Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 5.8(a)(i), Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to establish a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan for Transferred US Employees.

(v) Employee Welfare Plans. Purchaser or its Affiliates shall, not later than (i) the Closing Date or (ii) such later date on or before December 31, 2008, as defined and agreed to in the Transition Services Agreement for each specific administrative service or employee benefit plan (the “Benefit Transition Date”), provide the Transferred US Employees and their beneficiaries with medical and life insurance, disability, severance, vacation and other welfare benefit plans and programs as Purchaser or its Affiliates shall determine, subject to the requirements of this Section 5.8; provided, however, that except as provided herein, Sellers shall remain solely responsible for liabilities or obligations incurred with respect to each Transferred US Employee or Former Employee and their spouses, dependents and beneficiaries under any of Sellers’ medical and life insurance, disability, severance, vacation and other welfare benefit plans and programs for liabilities or obligations incurred prior to the Closing Date; and provided further, that subject to any specific provision of this Section 5.8 to the contrary, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for liabilities or obligations incurred with respect to each Transferred US Employee and their spouses, dependents and beneficiaries under any of Sellers', Purchaser’s, or any Transferred Entity’s medical and life insurance, disability, severance, vacation and other welfare benefit plans and programs for liabilities incurred on or after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 5.8(a)(v), a liability or obligation shall be deemed to be incurred upon the occurrence of an injury or the diagnosis of an illness and the liability or obligation will include any covered expenses for any related claims or series of related claims giving rise to such liability or obligation, provided that in the case of medical and dental expense being submitted for claim under any flexible spending account plan, a liability or obligation shall be deemed to be incurred only as and when claim for payment of the same is received. Any plans or programs established or maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates to provide medical and life insurance, disability, cafeteria, flexible spending, dependent care and other similar welfare benefits for the benefit of the Transferred US Employees shall, (i) waive any pre-existing condition limitation or exclusion or any actively-at-work requirement, (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible, copayment and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, such Employees with respect to similar plans maintained by the Seller and the Transferred Entities and (iii) recognize credited

service with the Seller and the Transferred Entities for the purposes of eligibility and participation. The foregoing shall not require the Purchaser or its Affiliates to establish, continue, or refrain from modifying any particular plan or program, the establishment, continuation or modification of which shall be in the sole discretion of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(vi) Severance and WARN Act Liability. Purchaser agrees to pay and be responsible for (i) all liability, cost or expense for severance, salary continuation, special bonuses and like costs under Purchaser’s severance pay policies or practices, retention agreements, policies or arrangements and (ii) any payment obligations described in Section 5.8(a)(ii) with respect to any of the Transferred US Employees that arise on or after the Closing Date. Except for Purchaser’s payment obligations assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.8(a)(i), Sellers agree to pay and be responsible for all liability, cost or expense, if any, for severance, salary continuation, special bonuses and the like under Sellers’ severance pay plans, retention agreements, employment agreements, policies or arrangements with respect to any of the U.S. Employees that arise before the Closing Date in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the termination of employment of any such Employee by a Seller. Purchaser agrees to pay and be responsible for all liability, cost, expense and sanctions resulting from any failure to comply with the WARN Act, and the regulations thereunder, in connection with events which occur on or after the Closing Date that relate to the Business. No more than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Section 3.12(h) of the Disclosure Schedule shall be updated as of such date and delivered to Purchaser.

(vii) Worker’s Compensation. Purchaser shall be responsible for the administration and the financial obligation of all worker’s compensation claims with respect to the Transferred US Employees arising out of or relating to occurrences on or after the Closing Date and Sellers shall be responsible for the administration and the financial obligation of all worker’s compensation claims arising out of or relating to occurrences before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the following specific principles shall apply to the following claims:

(A) Modified Duty. If, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser fails to continue to accommodate the modified or alternative work arrangements that are currently in place for each of the Transferred US Employees set forth on Section 5.8(viii)(A) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Modified Duty Employees”), except if such failure to accommodate is the result of a termination of such Modified Duty Employee’s employment for cause, then Sellers and the Purchaser shall share the applicable worker’s compensation liability, as determined by the applicable worker’s compensation state Law, in proportion to the length of time such Modified Duty Employee was on modified duty with a Seller or Transferred Entity before the Closing Date and Purchaser after the Closing Date. If such failure to accommodate described in the preceding sentence occurs with respect to a Modified Duty Employee following the first anniversary of the Closing Date or if a Modified Duty Employee voluntarily leaves employment at any time for any reason other than an unjustified failure by Purchaser to accommodate, then Sellers shall bear all applicable worker’s compensation liability with respect to such Modified Duty Employee and Purchaser shall not share any of such liability with Sellers.

(B) Aggravated Injury. In the event that a Transferred US Employee notifies Purchaser after the Closing Date of a worker’s compensation injury that is the result of an aggravation of an injury that occurred prior to the Closing Date, the responsibility for the administration and financial obligation of this claim (i.e., the allocation between Sellers’ worker’s compensation coverage and Purchaser’s worker’s compensation coverage) will be determined by the applicable worker’s compensation Law and is subject to the final interpretation of the appropriate court.

(viii) No Assumption of U.S. Benefit Plans. Neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates nor any Transferred Entity shall assume any U.S. Benefit Plan. Prior to the Closing, to the extent Honeywell deems necessary, Sellers and the Transferred Entities shall cause each Transferred Entity to (i) withdraw from or otherwise terminate its participation under each U.S. Benefit Plan, or (ii) if any U.S. Benefit Plan is maintained or sponsored solely by one or more Transferred Entities, terminate such plan, with such withdrawal or termination of participation or plan termination effective no later than the Benefit Transition Date in the case of plans described in clause (i) and no later than the Closing Date in the case of plans described in clause (ii).

(ix) Vacation. Effective with the date an Employee becomes a Transferred US Employee, Purchaser shall assume liability for any earned but not taken vacation time (with the exception of any grandfathered vacation bank) of the Transferred US Employee. Purchaser shall provide Transferred US Employees with a vacation entitlement that is no less favorable than the entitlement they had immediately prior to the Closing for the period between the Closing and December 31, 2008, and thereafter vacation accrual not less favorable than that provided other similarly situated employees of Purchaser taking into account, to the extent relevant, service with Sellers, the Transferred Entities, Purchaser, and their respective Affiliates in computing the amount of such accrual. Effective with the date an Employee becomes a Transferred Employee, Seller shall pay in full the value of any grandfathered vacation bank to the Transferred US Employee.

(x) Flexible Spending Accounts. Effective as of the Benefit Transition Date, Transferred US Employees shall no longer be eligible to contribute to the health care

flexible spending account or accounts sponsored by Sellers except as otherwise provided by and in accordance with COBRA. Effective as of the Benefit Transition Date, the Transferred US Employees shall no longer be eligible to contribute to the dependent care flexible spending accounts sponsored by Sellers (such health and dependent care accounts, “Sellers’ FSAs”). Effective as of the Benefit Transition Date, Purchaser shall establish, modify, or otherwise maintain, or shall cause its Affiliate to establish or maintain, health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts (“Purchaser’s FSAs”) which shall (i) permit immediate participation as of the Benefit Transition Date for all Transferred US Employees who were participating in Sellers’ FSAs as of the day before the Benefit Transition Date, (ii) allow elections of such Transferred US Employees for the plan year beginning before but ending after the Benefit Transition Date, if any, to be honored in full and (iii) accept for reimbursement any claims related to any such plan year and eligible for reimbursement on the basis of participant elections initially made under Sellers' FSAs for such plan year.

(b) Non-US Employees. This Section 5.8(b) applies only to Employees or Former Employees employed as of the Closing Date by, or who terminated employment the Transferred Entities while employed in, the Non-United States Business.

(i) Employment. Each Employee employed by Sellers, the Transferred Entities or any Affiliate in the Non-United States Business, whether hourly or salaried, and who is actively at work on the Closing Date, or who is absent on the Closing Date due to vacation or holiday leave, whether paid or unpaid, shall be referred to as a “Non-US Employee.” Wherever legally permissible, on the Closing Date, Non-US Employees shall become employees of Purchaser or continue to be employees of a Transferred Entity by operation of the applicable Laws or regulations of the jurisdiction in which such employment is located (the “National Laws”, which term shall include local laws implementing EU Directive 2001/23/EC, where applicable) and/or pursuant to the terms of any necessary transfer agreement relating to that jurisdiction. Where such continuation of employment or transfer is not possible in the manner described in the previous sentence, Purchaser shall offer the Non-US Employees employment in accordance with the procedures required by applicable National Laws to effectuate their employment with Purchaser or a Transferred Entity commencing on the Closing Date. Each Non-US Employee who, as of the Closing Date, is employed by, or otherwise has his employment continued with, a Transferred Entity, or who otherwise transfers to the employ of Purchaser or a Transferred Entity pursuant to National Laws or accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment shall be referred to as a “Transferred Non-US Employee.” No provision herein shall impair, deny or limit the right of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to change the employment terms or to terminate the employment of any Transferred Non-US Employee at any time, to the extent permissible under applicable National Laws.

(ii) Compensation and Benefits. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall provide Transferred Non-US Employees with the same compensation and other terms and conditions of employment and provide benefits that are comparable in the aggregate in terms of value to the employee to the terms and conditions of employment and level of total compensation and employee benefits that are (i) provided under the Transferred Non-US Employee’s employment contract immediately prior to the Closing Date, if applicable, or (ii) if more favorable than the level of compensation and the terms and conditions described in clause (i), required by applicable National Laws.

(iii) Foreign Benefit Plans. “Sellers’ Foreign Benefit Plans” means those Foreign Benefit Plans listed on Section 3.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule to the extent they cover the Transferred Non-US Employees.

(A) Except to the extent otherwise required by Law or pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(iii)(B), as of the Closing Date, each Transferred Non-US Employee shall cease to be an active participant in Sellers’ Foreign Benefit Plans which are not Transferred Foreign Benefit Plans as defined in subparagraph (B) below.

(B) As of the Benefit Transition Date, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall establish or maintain employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements outside of the United States in accordance with Section 5.8(b)(ii) of this Agreement and applicable National Laws that (1) provide benefits that are comparable in the aggregate to the level of employee benefits that are provided under the Transferred Non-US Employee’s employment contract immediately prior to the Closing Date, if applicable, or (2) if more favorable than the level of employee benefits described in subclause (1), provide a level of employee benefits that are required by applicable National Laws (collectively, “Purchaser’s Foreign Benefit Plans”). Sellers will take such steps as are necessary to ensure that those of Sellers’ Foreign Benefit Plans and Sellers’ insurance contracts providing benefits that are maintained exclusively for the benefit of employees of a Transferred Entity who become on the Closing Date Transferred Non-US Employees (inclusive of applicable assets, insurance contracts, property or funds underlying, supporting or otherwise to be used or applied to fund or pay benefits or liabilities under or with respect to such plans) as set forth on Section 5.8(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Transferred Foreign Benefit Plans”), will be transferred or assigned to Purchaser or its Affiliates (or, in the case of such assets, property or funds, to the applicable plan or plans so established or maintained) no later than the Benefit Transition Date. With respect to any Sellers’ Foreign Benefit Plans that are not transferred to Purchaser as provided in the preceding sentence and to the extent not otherwise required by Law, Sellers and the Transferred Entities shall cause each Transferred Entity to (x) withdraw from or otherwise terminate its participation under such Foreign Benefits Plans or, (y) if any such Sellers’ Foreign Benefits Plan is maintained or sponsored solely by one or more Transferred Entities, terminate such plan, with such withdrawal or termination of participation or plan termination effective no later than the Benefit Transition Date in the case of plans described in clause (x) and no later than the Closing Date in the case of plans described in clause (y).

(C) Other than those employees who will receive severance benefits pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(iii)(D), Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Non-US Employee with full credit for service with Sellers or the applicable Transferred Entity and Purchaser for purposes of eligibility to participate, and vesting and solely with respect to those Sellers’ Foreign Benefit Plans (inclusive of related asset, contracts, property and funds) that are transferred or assigned to Purchaser, benefit accrual under Purchaser’s Non-US Employee Benefits Plans.

(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be obligated to recognize prior service with Sellers as otherwise required by Section 5.8(b)(iii)(C), in the case of each Transferred Non-U.S. Employee employed in the countries listed in

Section 5.8(b)(iii)(D) of the Disclosure Schedule.1 In respect of such Transferred Non-U.S. Employees Purchaser shall directly reimburse the Seller at the Closing Date the total severance amount set out in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(D) of the Disclosure Schedule or, if greater, any severance required by applicable National Laws.

(E) No provision herein shall impair Purchaser’s ability to amend or terminate any such plan at any time to the extent permissible under applicable National Law.

(iv) Termination and Severance Liabilities. Purchaser shall be responsible for any amounts becoming payable to Transferred Non-US Employees under applicable National Laws, Purchaser’s severance plans or arrangements or any employment contracts as a result of their being dismissed by Purchaser or a Transferred Entity at any time on or after the Closing Date, notwithstanding that such amount is calculated under applicable National Laws, plan, arrangement or employment contract by reference to periods of employment with Sellers or Transferred Entities as well as periods of employment with Purchaser.

(v) Responsibility for Non-US Employees. Except as otherwise set forth herein Purchaser shall assume and thereafter pay, perform and discharge any and all employment, compensation and employee benefit liabilities, responsibilities and obligations with respect to Transferred Non-US Employees, including any and all claims under National Laws, which liabilities, responsibilities and obligations are incurred as the result of incidents, events, acts or failures to act, occurring on or after the Closing Date.

(vi) Employee Refusal to Transfer. Any Non-US Employee lawfully rejecting the transfer to or employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates shall, except as otherwise required by National Laws, remain employed by Sellers; provided, however, that Sellers may terminate such Non-US Employee immediately after Closing, subject to applicable legal constraints, if any, and shall be solely responsible for any severance payment or compensation or other benefit to or with respect to such Non-US Employee. Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs with respect to such terminations to the extent such costs arise as a result of Purchaser’s failure to comply with the obligations set forth in Sections 5.8(b)(i), (ii) and (iii).

(vii) Non-US Employee Communications. Each party to this Agreement shall comply with all obligations under applicable National Laws to provide information to the other parties for onward transmission to Non-US Employees or their representatives and/or to provide such information directly to the Non-US Employees or their representatives. Each party to this Agreement shall comply with all obligations under applicable National Law to inform and/or consult trade unions, works councils or other employee representative bodies in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Leased Employees. Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall take steps to enter into an agreement with the provider of subcontract employees to the Business to enable

the transfer of such subcontract employees from the related contract of the Seller to a contract of the Purchaser as of the Closing Date. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to affect this transfer.

5.9 Intercompany Accounts. Prior to Closing, the Sellers will use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause any amounts related to the Business owed to or by a Seller or Transferred Entity from or to Sellers or other divisions or Affiliates of Sellers to be settled.

5.10 Non-Solicitation of Employees. Honeywell agrees that from the date hereof through the third anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, it will not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment any Transferred Employee (other than clerical or non-salaried employees) or employ any of the Transferred Employees set forth on Schedule 5.10; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit Honeywell from (a) engaging in the general solicitation (whether by newspaper, trade publication or other periodical or pursuant to the use of an executive search consultant) of employees (or hiring any employees that respond to such general solicitation) so long as such solicitation is not directed specifically at employees of the Business, (b) soliciting or hiring any such employee (other than clerical or non-salaried employees) who has not been employed by Purchaser during the three-month period preceding such solicitation or who was involuntarily terminated by Purchaser, (c) employing its Employees through the Closing Date or (d) employing the Retained Employees after the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that for the same period and subject to the same exceptions, it will not, directly or indirectly, solicit any Retained Employee or any other Employee who does not become a Transferred US Employee or a Transferred Non-US Employee (other than clerical or non-salaried employees).

5.11 Non-Competition.

(a) For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, each Seller agrees that it will not, and each will cause its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, engage in the distribution, marketing or selling of Products or providing related inventory management and warehousing services with respect to the Products, in each case to third party customers in the aerospace industry (a “Competing Business”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.11 shall be deemed to limit in any way the conduct of the Excluded Business or the provision of inventory management or warehousing services to third party customers that include Products in addition to other products or services (provided that the Products are provided to such third party customer pursuant to the Supply Agreement) and such activities and businesses shall be excluded from the definition of Competing Business for all purposes related to this Agreement. The restrictions set forth in this Section 5.11(a) shall not be construed to prohibit or restrict any Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates from acquiring any Person or business that engages in any Competing Business provided that (i) the engagement in such Competing Business does not constitute the principal part of the activities of the Person or business to be acquired (based on total revenues expressed in US dollars or calculated in US dollars utilizing the relevant and then applicable current foreign currency exchange rate, of all sales of such Person or business during the consecutive four (4) full calendar quarters immediately preceding the effective date of acquisition of such Person or business), or (ii) if the Competing Business constitutes in excess of 20% of the revenues of the Person or business acquired, or the revenues of such Competing Business are in excess of $50,000,000 per year, Sellers (A) promptly provide written notice to Purchaser after its acquisition of the Competing Business (the “Acquisition

Notice”) and (B) subject to Section 5.11(b), use their commercially reasonable best efforts to divest that portion of such Person or business that engages in the Competing Business within 12 months after the later of its acquisition of the Competing Business or the expiration of any effort to sell the Competing Business to the Purchaser under Section 5.11(b). Notwithstanding this Section 5.11(a), if the exclusivity provisions of the Supply Agreement or the Intellectual Property License Agreement are suspended or terminated before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Honeywell or any Seller may engage in any activity necessary to replace the services performed by Purchaser under the Supply Agreement or Intellectual Property License Agreement during such suspension or after such termination.

(b) In the event that Sellers are required to divest any Competing Business pursuant to Section 5.11(a), the Acquisition Notice shall constitute an exclusive offer by Sellers to sell such Competing Business to Purchaser at Fair Market Value. Such offer shall remain open and irrevocable until the expiration of 20 Business Days after receipt of such Acquisition Notice (the “Offer Period”). At any time prior to expiration of the Offer Period, Purchaser shall have the right to accept Sellers’ offer by delivering a written notice to Sellers (the “Acceptance Notice”). If Purchaser delivers the Acceptance Notice during the Offer Period, Sellers shall sell the Competing Business to Purchaser at the Fair Market Value on mutually acceptable terms, which terms shall be negotiated in good faith. In the event that (i) Purchaser shall have received an Acquisition Notice from Sellers but Sellers shall not have received an Acceptance Notice prior to expiration of the Offer Period or (ii) Purchaser shall have given an Acceptance Notice to Sellers but shall have failed to purchase the Competing Business within the time frame specified in Section 5.11(a), then nothing in this Section 5.11(b) shall limit the right of Sellers thereafter to sell the Competing Business to a third party. For purposes of this Section 5.11, “Fair Market Value” of the Competing Business shall mean the cash price that an unaffiliated third party would pay to acquire such Competing Business in an arm’s-length transaction, assuming the Sellers are not compelled to divest the Competing Business. To determine the Fair Market Value of such Competing Business, Honeywell and Purchaser shall agree on and designate an investment banking firm of recognized international standing (the “Investment Banking Firm”). The Investment Banking Firm, within 30 days after appointment, shall deliver its final view as to the Fair Market Value of the Competing Business to Honeywell and Purchaser and such final view shall be the price to be paid by the Purchaser for such Competing Business if Purchaser elects to purchase such Competing Business pursuant to Section 5.11(b). Each party shall have the opportunity to share any materials with the Investment Banking Firm containing information regarding the potential Fair Market Value within 21 days after appointment. The Investment Banking Firm shall employ generally accepted valuation methodologies including reviewing precedent transactions in which sellers were not compelled to sell. The Investment Banking Firm shall, among other things, also take into account the value of any applicable tax benefit accruing to the Buyer (if any) as a result of the Transaction as determined by the Investment Banking Firm. The costs and expenses of the Investment Banking Firm shall be shared equally by Honeywell and the Purchaser.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the prohibitions in Section 5.11(a) shall not apply to (i) any businesses or operations of Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries which are transferred to any third party after the date hereof, (ii) any Subsidiaries of any Seller the stock of which is transferred to any third party after the date hereof, (iii) any Affiliate of Sellers who becomes an Affiliate as a result of a change of control of

Honeywell or (iv) any acquisition of securities by any Seller’s pension trust or similar employee benefit plan investment vehicle, provided that any securities acquired shall be held for investment purposes only and such benefit plans comply with the ERISA requirements as to the independence of investment decisions.

(d) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 5.11 may be inadequate and, accordingly, each Seller covenants and agrees that Purchaser shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have at Law, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and to the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 5.11, as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post bond or any other security. In addition, Sellers and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Section 5.11 are fair and reasonable in light of Purchaser’s plans for the Business and are necessary to accomplish the full transfer of the goodwill and other intangible assets contemplated hereby. In the event that any of the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then all other provisions of this Section 5.11 shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties hereto agree that such unenforceable provision may be modified by the court so as to comply with applicable Law and that the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall be amended in accordance with said modification.

5.12 Confidential Information. Each Seller hereby agrees that for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date it shall hold, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to hold and maintain the confidentiality of all information relating to trade secrets, processes, patent applications, product development, price, customer and supplier lists, pricing and marketing plans, policies and strategies, details of client and consultant contracts, operations methods, product development techniques, business acquisition plans, new personnel acquisition plans and all other confidential or proprietary information concerning the Business or the Purchased Assets (the “Confidential Information”), and shall not use for the benefit of themselves or others, or disclose or cause or permit to be used or disclosed any of the Confidential Information for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except and to the extent any disclosure of Confidential Information is required by Law or appropriate court order and sufficient advance written notice thereof, if reasonably practicable, is provided to Purchaser to permit Purchaser to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, provided, however, that the term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that (i) does not relate primarily to the Business, (ii) relates to any Retained Asset, Retained Liability, the Excluded Business or, if applicable, the Retained Interests, (iii) becomes available to any Seller or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Purchaser, (iv) is independently developed by any Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective employees under circumstances not involving a breach of this Section 5.12, (v) is publicly disclosed pursuant to a lawful requirement or request from a Governmental Authority acting within its jurisdiction, or non-confidential disclosure is otherwise required by Law after any Seller or any of its Affiliates has exercised its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information, (vi) is publicly available as of the date of this Agreement, or which becomes publicly available after the date of this Agreement through no fault of any Seller or its Affiliates, (vii) disclosed on a confidential basis to Sellers’ attorneys, accountants, lenders and investment bankers, or (viii) disclosed or used by Sellers or any of their Affiliates to protect or enforce their

rights or perform their obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in connection with tax or other regulatory filings, litigation, financial reporting or other reasonable business purposes, or the conduct of their own businesses if, and to the extent, not otherwise prohibited by Section 5.11. The provisions of this Section 5.12 shall expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing, provided, however, that if either the Supply Agreement or the Intellectual Property License Agreement is suspended or terminated before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Sellers and their controlled Affiliates may use such Confidential Information to the extent necessary to procure alternative supply arrangements during such suspension or after such termination.

5.13 Payments Received. Sellers and Purchaser agree that, after the Closing Date, they shall hold and shall promptly transfer and deliver to the other party, from time to time as and when received by it and in the currency received, any cash, checks with appropriate endorsements (using commercially reasonable efforts not to convert such checks into cash), or other property that they may receive after the date hereof which property belongs to the other party, including any payments of accounts receivable and insurance proceeds, and shall account to the other party for all such receipts.

5.14 Sellers’ Marks.

(a) Except as expressly set forth herein and subject to the Intellectual Property License Agreement, Purchaser, each of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, successors, assigns, agents, or representatives shall not register, or attempt to register, and shall not directly or indirectly use, in any fashion, including in signage, corporate letterhead, business cards, internet websites, marketing material and the like, or seek to register or own, in connection with any products or services anywhere in the world in any medium, any Trademarks, trade names or domain names that include, are identical to or are confusingly similar to the XXXXXXXXX xxxx or any derivation therefrom or any corporate symbols or logos incorporating “HONEYWELL” either alone or in combinations or any goodwill represented thereby and pertaining thereto.

(b) Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, Honeywell hereby grants to Purchaser effective as of the Closing Date, a personal, nonexclusive, royalty-free transition license for twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “TM License Term”) to use the XXXXXXXXX xxxx and Honeywell red logo (collectively, “Sellers’ Marks” in the same manner as used by Sellers prior to the Closing Date: (i) on existing signage, marketing materials and other materials, in each case included in the Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date and (ii) in the Inventory. Purchaser shall in any event phase out such use of the Sellers’ Marks as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing Date. Such limited transition license shall terminate twelve (12) months after the Closing Date regardless of whether or not inventory branded with any Sellers’ Marks remains in inventory of Purchaser. Purchaser may only use the Sellers’ Marks on materials in existence as of the Closing Date and may not create any materials of any kind using the Sellers’ Marks. All use of the Sellers’ Marks as permitted hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Honeywell.

(c) The Sellers’ Marks are the sole and exclusive property of Honeywell. Purchaser shall not acquire any right, title or interest, express or implied, in the Sellers’ Marks

and its use, individually or collectively. Purchaser shall not knowingly at any time, either during the life of or after expiration of this Agreement, contest the validity of the Sellers’ Marks or Honeywell’s rights therein, or assert or claim any other right to manufacture, sell or offer for sale products or services under the Sellers’ Marks, or any trademark confusingly similar thereto or knowingly assist any third party in such activities.

(d) During the TM License Term, Purchaser shall conduct its business in a dignified manner consistent with the general reputation and importance of Honeywell. During the TM License Term, Purchaser shall use reasonable and good faith commercial efforts to safeguard the established goodwill symbolized by the Sellers’ Marks and to maintain the quality and performance standards of its sale and provision of the Inventory. During the TM License Term, Purchaser shall not take any action or omit to take any action which may reasonably be expected to derogate, erode or tarnish the Sellers’ Marks, or otherwise diminish the value of the Sellers’ Marks.

(e) The rights granted to Purchaser in this Section are personal to Purchaser and may not be assigned or sublicensed, by operation of law or otherwise, nor may Purchaser delegate its obligations hereunder without the written consent of Honeywell.

5.15 Tax Matters.

(a) Pre-Closing Taxes. Sellers will prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, (i) all Tax Returns of Sellers that include the Business or the Purchased Assets for all Tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the day before the Closing Date and (ii) all Tax Returns of the Transferred Entities for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and shall pay all Taxes due for such Tax periods, including additional Taxes assessed after any subsequent Tax audit.

(b) Post-Closing and Straddle Period Taxes. Purchaser will prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed in respect of the Purchased Assets, the Business and the Transferred Entities for Tax periods ending after the Closing Date, including Straddle Periods; for avoidance of doubt, such Tax Returns prepared by Purchaser in respect of Purchased Assets and the Business shall reflect only operations of the Business on and after the Closing Date (except for Tax Returns of Transferred Entities for Straddle Periods, which shall reflect operations of the Business both before and after the Closing Date, and the Taxes shown on which shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller as provided below). Any such Tax Return that relates to a Straddle Period shall be provided to Sellers for review and comment at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable filing date taking into account validly obtained extensions. Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes due for such Tax periods, provided, however, that in the case of a Tax Return that relates to a Straddle Period, the Seller shall pay to Purchaser at least five (5) prior to the date on which Taxes are due with respect to such Straddle Period an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the day before the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the day before the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the day before the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any real and personal property Taxes or other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with

respect to the Purchased Assets or the assets of any Transferred Entities, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the day before the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any refunds or credits (including prepayments and deposits of Taxes) relating to a Straddle Period shall be prorated based upon the method employed in this paragraph (b) taking into account type of the Tax to which the refund or credit relates. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Transferred Entities and Sellers unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(c) Refunds. If Purchaser or a Transferred Entity receives a refund of Taxes (or a credit against post-Closing Taxes in lieu of a refund) relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets for a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser will pay to the applicable Seller, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such refund (or the application of such credit), an amount equal to such refund (or credit); provided, however, that such a refund of Taxes is not caused by Sellers or ;the Transferred Entity taking any action prior to Closing or any position on Tax Returns filed by Sellers inconsistent with past practice that has the effect of shifting taxable income to Tax periods (or portions thereof) after the Closing Date. Any such payment shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. If a Seller receives a refund of Taxes (or a credit against pre-Closing Taxes in lieu of a refund) relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets, including Taxes of a Transferred Entity, for a Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, such Seller will pay to Purchaser, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such refund (or the application of such credit), the amount of such refund (or credit). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Tax refund (or credit) of any Transferred Entity for a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date arising out of the carryback of a loss or credit incurred by any Transferred Entity in a taxable period ending after the Closing Date, if such carryback cannot be waived under applicable law, shall be the property of Purchaser and, if received by Sellers, shall be paid over promptly to Purchaser within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such refund (or the application of such credit).

(d) Settlement of Deficiencies and Adjustments. If any Governmental Authority issues to Purchaser or a Transferred Entity a notice of deficiency or any other type of proposed adjustment in writing concerning the operations of a Transferred Entity or the Business for any taxable period ending before the Closing Date or for any Straddle Period, Purchaser must notify Sellers within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the notice of deficiency or other proposed adjustment; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect any indemnification provided under this Agreement except to the extent such Sellers shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Sellers, at their own expense, have the sole and exclusive right to contest any assessment or other proposed adjustment to the extent it relates solely to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, and may represent and act on behalf of the Transferred Entities. Sellers have full right to take any and all actions and to do any and all things on behalf of themselves or the Transferred Entities which they deem necessary and appropriate, including, without limitation, litigating any claim, settling any claim, or waiving the provision of any applicable statute of limitations as may apply to the assessment of any Taxes for

these periods; provided, however, Sellers shall not take any action that materially increases the Taxes payable by, or otherwise materially adversely affect the Tax position of, Purchaser or one or more of its Affiliates following the Closing. If, however, Sellers deem it appropriate not to settle with respect to any proposed deficiency or other adjustment, Purchaser shall have the right, at its own expense, to jointly contest with Sellers any such proposed deficiency or other adjustment. Purchaser also may participate in any such proceeding if Sellers do not assume the defense of any such proceeding, and Purchaser may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such proceeding after five (5) days’ prior written notice to Sellers setting forth the terms and conditions of settlement. With respect to issues relating to a potential adjustment for which both Sellers and Purchaser or the Transferred Entities could be liable, (i) both Sellers and Purchaser may participate in the proceeding, and (ii) the proceeding shall be controlled by that party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the adjustment and any corresponding adjustments that may reasonably be anticipated for future taxable periods. In cases where only the Transferred Entity itself can take relevant actions vis-à-vis the Tax authorities or initiate a contest, the Purchaser and Sellers will cooperate according to the provisions of Sections 5.15(d) and (e). Purchaser, at its own expense, has the sole and exclusive right to contest any assessment or other proposed adjustment to the extent it relates solely to a taxable period ending after the Closing Date, and may represent and act on behalf of the Transferred Entities provided that, with respect to any Taxes of a Transferred Entity for any Straddle Period, Purchaser shall consult with the applicable Seller as to the resolution of any issue that would materially affect such Seller, and not settle any such issue without the consent of such Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Where consent to a settlement is withheld by such Seller pursuant to this Section, such Seller may continue or initiate any further proceedings at its own expense, so long as any liability for Taxes of the applicable Transferred Entity or Purchaser does not exceed the liability that would have resulted had such Seller not withheld its consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any proposed adjustment relating to a Straddle Period, neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall enter into any compromise or agree to settle any such adjustment which would adversely affect the other party for such taxable period or a another taxable period without the written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e) Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Sellers and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return, amended return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes or in conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant Tax Returns, together with accompanying schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities and records concerning the ownership and tax basis of property, which either party may possess. Each party shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be required to prepare any documents (except tax data packages referred to below), or determine any information not then in its possession, in response to a request under this Section 5.15(e). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in providing any return, document or other written information upon receipt of reasonable documentation of such costs, and shall compensate the other for any reasonable costs (excluding wages and salaries) of making

employees available, upon receipt of reasonable documentation of such costs. Each party will retain and maintain all Tax Returns, schedules and workpapers and all material records, computer software and data maintained there under, or other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) of the taxable years to which such returns and other documents relate and, unless such returns and other documents are offered to the other party, until the final determination of any payments which may be required in respect of such years under this Agreement and to give the other party reasonable notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such book and records or computer software and data maintained there under, and, if the other party so requests, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records or computer software and data maintained there under. Any information obtained under this Section 5.15(e) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting any audit or other proceeding. Purchaser and the Transferred Entities shall at their own cost and expense fully and accurately complete in all material respects and submit any tax data packages in respect of Tax periods or portions thereof ending prior to the Closing Date reasonably required by Sellers to satisfy their Tax Return filing obligations within the time periods reasonably requested by the tax department of Honeywell consistent with past practices. Purchaser and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(f) Termination of Prior Tax Sharing Agreements. Effective on or before the day prior to the Closing Date, all Tax sharing agreements, whether or not written, to which any Seller and a Transferred Entity are parties shall be terminated at or prior to the Closing, and the Transferred Entity shall have no further rights or obligations thereunder, and the provisions of this Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of Sellers, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities to make or receive payments with respect to Taxes or refunds of Taxes of the Transferred Entities. Sellers shall execute (and shall cause the Transferred Entities to execute) any documents that may be reasonably required to evidence agreement with this Section 5.15 (f). Sellers, at or prior to Closing, shall terminate the domination and profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und Gewinnabführungsvertrag) to which HCS Germany is a party effective as of the end of the day prior the Closing Date. Sellers and Purchasers agree that (i) the domination and profit transfer agreement will be duly performed until the end of the day prior the Closing Date, (ii) Sellers shall be entitled to any profits and obliged to cover any losses of HCS Germany until such date, and (iii) Sellers will indemnify and hold Purchasers harmless against any and all Losses (without reference to Section 9.4) resulting from (A) a failure to terminate such domination and profit transfer agreement with effect as of the end of the day prior to the Closing Date, and/or (B) the non-recognition for tax purposes of the fiscal unit (Organschaft) between HCS Germany and Honeywell Deutschland GmbH until the end of the day prior to the Closing Date. The Sellers further agree that they will make any payments pursuant to the preceding sentence without undue delay and that, if not terminated with effect as of the end of the day prior to the Closing Date, the domination and profit transfer agreement will be terminated by the parties as soon as possible after the Closing Date. The parties further agree that (i) the profits or losses of HCS Germany as of the end of the day prior to the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim pro-forma income statement and balance sheet as of such date to be drawn up by HCS Germany pursuant to applicable German GAAP as soon as practicable after the

Closing Date and to be agreed by Sellers and Purchasers, (ii) if Sellers and Purchasers do not agree on such income statement and pro-forma balance sheet within 6 months of the Closing Date, then any dispute shall be submitted to a “big four” accounting firm whose resolution of the dispute shall be final and binding on the parties and the fees of whom shall be paid 50% by each party, (iii) the amount of profits or losses of HCS Germany determined according to (i) or (ii) above shall be paid in the case of profits by HCS Germany to Honeywell Deutschland GmbH, and in the case of losses by Honeywell Deutschland GmbH to HCS Germany, in both cases to be paid within 30 days after determination, and (iv) immediately upon receipt of any such payment (A) from HCS Germany to Honeywell Deutschland GmbH, Honeywell Deutschland GmbH shall pay M&M Germany an amount equal to the amount Honeywell Deutschland GmbH received from HCS Germany or (B) from Honeywell Deutschland GmbH to HCS Germany, M&M Germany shall pay Honeywell Deutschland GmbH an amount equal to the amount Honeywell Deutschland GmbH paid to HCS Germany, which payment in either case shall be treated as an adjustment of the purchase price paid by M&M Germany to Honeywell Deutschland GmbH for the Equity Interest in HCS Germany. Purchaser will use best efforts that (i) the profits or losses of HCS Germany as of the end of the day prior to the Closing Date, as so agreed by the parties or determined by the “big four” accounting firm, shall be properly reflected in accordance with German GAAP and applicable law in the next statutory accounts of HCS Germany after the end of the day prior to the Closing and (ii) such statutory accounts shall be approved by the shareholder of HCS Germany.

(g) Check the Box Elections. Sellers shall make a valid election under Treas. Reg. Sec. 301.7701-3, effective on or before the day prior to the Closing Date, for each Transferred Entity to be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes and shall deliver copies of completed and filed Forms 8832 to Purchasers at or before Closing demonstrating the making of such an election. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, Honeywell and the Purchaser agree to treat the transfer of the Equity Interests in each of the Transferred Entities pursuant to this Agreement as taxable sales of their assets to M&M Germany and M&M France, respectively, and to treat the transfer by Honeywell UK of Purchased Assets relating to the UK Business as a taxable sale, and no party will assert or maintain a position inconsistent with such treatment.

(h) VAT Matters. The following provisions shall apply with respect to VAT relating to the sale of the Purchased Assets relating to the UK Business under this Agreement.

(i) Honeywell UK and Purchaser of the Purchased Assets relating to the UK Business (“UK Purchaser”) intend and shall use all reasonable endeavors to procure that Article 5 of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions Order) 1995 shall apply to the sale of the Purchased Assets relating to the UK Business under this Agreement, so that the sale is treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services for VAT purposes.

(ii) If nevertheless HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) have ruled in writing after full disclosure of all material facts that VAT is payable by UK Purchaser on the supply of the Purchased Assets relating to the UK Business under this Agreement then VAT on that supply shall be borne 50% by UK Purchaser and 50% by Honeywell UK in the following manner:

(A) The amount of any consideration required to be paid by UK Purchaser on the supply of the Purchased Assets relating to the UK Business under this Agreement shall be exclusive of VAT (such that the amount of VAT chargeable on that supply shall be payable in addition to that consideration) and Honeywell UK shall promptly deliver to UK Purchaser a proper VAT invoice in respect of the supply (together with a copy of the ruling in writing by HMRC and copies of the documents disclosing all material facts to HMRC);

(B) UK Purchaser shall promptly pay the amount of VAT shown on any invoice delivered by Honeywell UK in accordance with (A) above promptly after it has actually obtained all credits, deductions, refunds, refunds and repayments relating to that VAT so shown;

(C) Promptly following any payment made by UK Purchaser in accordance with (B) above Honeywell UK and UK Purchaser shall make all necessary adjustments to the consideration such that the amount of (1) VAT chargeable on the supply of Purchased Assets relating to the UK Business under this Agreement, after taking into account the amount of (2) all credits, deductions, refunds and repayments actually obtained by UK Purchaser in respect of VAT chargeable on that supply (the amount of (1) less (2) being “Irrecoverable VAT”), results in UK Purchaser and Honeywell UK each bearing an amount equal to 50% of the amount of the Irrecoverable VAT that would have arisen if this Section 15.5(h)(ii)(B) had not had effect; and

(D) UK Purchaser and Honeywell UK shall promptly make all such payments and repayments to each other, and Honeywell UK shall promptly issue all such further invoices and credit notes in respect of VAT, in each case as may be required in order to give effect to the foregoing.

(iii) M&M Aerospace Hardware Ltd is registered for VAT in the United Kingdom under VAT No. GB928748768. If UK Purchaser is not M&M Aerospace Hardware Ltd but another UK limited company, UK Purchaser shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Honeywell UK that it is registered for VAT in the United Kingdom at the Closing.

(i) UK Business. The parties agree that Sections 5.15(a), (b) and (c) above shall not apply to any Taxes relating to, or Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of, the UK Business.

(j) Change of Accounting Period. Sellers shall not have the right to change the fiscal year end/accounting period of either or both of the Transferred Entities, provided that this Section 5.15(j) does not affect the operation of Section 5.15(f).

(k) Withholding Taxes. The Purchasers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all amounts payable to the Sellers under this Agreement such amounts that the Purchasers are required to deduct and withhold and pay over to the applicable Taxing Authority under any applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the applicable Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Sellers. If one or more of the Purchasers intends to deduct and withhold from any Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration payable to the Sellers under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers in writing at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date withholding is required, together with a statement setting forth the amount to be deducted and withheld. If the Sellers object in writing to the Purchaser’s determination within seven (7) Business Days of such notice, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the amount that should be deducted and withheld. If the parties are unable to agree on such amount prior to the applicable payment date, they shall request a mutually agreeable independent leading law firm or accounting firm in the relevant jurisdiction to render an opinion on the amount required to be deducted and withheld, which opinion, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding and the disputed amount of withholding shall be transferred by the Purchaser to a mutually agreeable independent escrow agent, which shall hold the disputed amount until such law firm or accounting firm has rendered its opinion and subsequently release the amount to the Purchaser and/or the Sellers as directed by such opinion. The costs incurred in connection with the engagement of such law firm or accounting firm and escrow agent shall be paid by the party whose position was not followed pursuant to this Section 5.15(j).

5.16 Bulk Sales Laws. Sellers and Purchaser each hereby waive compliance by Honeywell with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state.

5.17 Notice of Developments. Prior to the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall promptly notify each other in writing of all events, circumstances, facts and occurrences arising subsequent to the date of this Agreement which would be reasonably likely to result in any condition in Article VI or Article VII becoming incapable of being satisfied.

5.18 Purchaser’s Financing. Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to arrange and close concurrently with the Closing, the financing on terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the institution against the Initial Lenders, and prompt prosecution in good faith, of litigation to enforce the Debt Commitment Letter, obtaining rating agency approvals, maintaining in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, satisfying on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Purchaser to obtaining the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter on terms and conditions contained therein, satisfying all conditions applicable to the Purchaser in such definitive agreements that are within their respective control and, if necessary, borrowing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter in the event any “flex” provisions are exercised). Purchaser shall keep Honeywell informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the terms of, and satisfy the conditions contemplated by, the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with this Section 5.18 and shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, agree or permit any cancellation, amendment, supplement or other modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt

Commitment Letters without obtaining the prior written consent of Honeywell other than (x) any amendment, supplement or other modification to the Debt Commitment Letter adding additional lenders thereto or (y) any replacement, amendment, supplement or other modification to the Debt Commitment Letter resulting in terms that are no less beneficial to Purchaser (including with respect to conditionality) and that would not reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no such replacement, amendment, supplement or waiver reduces the amount of the financing available thereunder; provided further that Purchaser shall only replace (i) the Debt Commitment Letter if the Initial Lenders thereunder threaten or indicate their intention not to fund such that the Financing is unlikely to be available or (ii) an Initial Lender thereunder in the event one or more such Initial Lenders threaten or indicate its or their intention not to fund its or their commitment under the Debt Commitment Letter; provided that in each case, any such replacement shall not release any Initial Lender under its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter, unless such replacement is an internationally recognized financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Sellers. Purchaser shall promptly notify Honeywell (and in any event within one Business Day) of any material breach by any party of the Debt Commitment Letter, any termination of the Debt Commitment Letter or any other circumstance, event or condition that would reasonably be likely to prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, to the extent it becomes aware of such breach, termination, circumstance, event or condition. Purchaser shall segregate any net proceeds received after the date hereof and prior to Closing from any debt or equity financing of Purchaser, and shall use such net proceeds solely for the purpose of funding the Purchase Price.

5.19 Sellers’ Assistance with Financing. Prior to the Closing, Sellers agree to provide, and shall cause the Transferred Entities to provide, all reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement of any Financing of Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Financing”) as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser (provided such requested cooperation does not interfere in any significant respect with the ongoing operation of the Business or the conduct of Honeywell’s or any Seller’s business), including:

(a) participation by appropriate representatives of Honeywell in due diligence sessions related to the Business and the Purchased Assets with Purchaser and its representatives and Purchaser’s Financing sources and its representatives;

(b) with respect to the Business and the Purchased Assets, assisting Purchaser and its Financing sources in the preparation of any offering documents, offering memoranda, offering circulars, prospectuses, registration statements under the Securities Act to be filed by the Purchaser with the Securities and Exchange Commission, bank information memoranda or other disclosure documents requested by Purchaser and materials for rating agency presentations in connection with the Financing; provided in all cases that Sellers have access to any such information or can compile or procure the same without undue effort or expense and provided further that Sellers shall not be required to deliver information subject to confidentiality or attorney client privilege restrictions (each, a “Disclosure Document”);

(c) furnishing Purchaser and its Financing sources as promptly as practicable with the financial and other information regarding the Business set forth on Schedule 5.19(c) (the financial and other information required to be delivered pursuant to this clause (c) is referred to as the “Required Information”);

(d) assisting in the preparation and review of pro forma financial statements of Purchaser giving effect to the acquisition by Purchaser of the Business and the Assets and meeting the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(e) using commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the independent accountants of Sellers, subject to reimbursement by Purchaser of any related fees incurred by Sellers, to take such actions as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the Financing, including, without limitation, to (i) obtain the consent of the independent accountants of Sellers to the use of its reports on the Audited Financial Statements, (ii) deliver a “comfort letter” to Purchaser’s Financing sources in a form meeting the requirements of Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72 – Letters for Underwriters and Certain Other Requesting Parties, as such statement has been amended or modified, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or its Financing sources, (iii) perform a review of the Marketing Interim Financial Statements pursuant to the requirements of Statement of Auditing Standards No. 100 – Interim Financial Information or such other requirements requested by Purchaser or its Financing sources as may be customary, (iv) participate in customary auditor due diligence sessions with the Financing sources of Purchaser, counsel to such Financing sources and Purchaser and its representatives and (v) enter into customary agreements or engagements with accountants.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no Seller, Transferred Entity or officer, director or employee of any Seller or Transferred Entity shall be required to execute any documents, including any registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission except as may be required by Honeywell’s independent accountants in connection with any Financing, (B) no Seller shall be required to pay a commitment or similar fee or incur any other Liability in connection with any Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, (C) no any Seller shall be required to issue a private placement memoranda or prospectus (and no such private placement memoranda or prospectus shall reflect any Seller as the issuer), and (D) no Seller shall be required to indemnify any Person in connection with the Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter. Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers for all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs, fees and expense incurred by any Seller or any Transferred Entity in connection with such cooperation and assistance described in this Section 5.19. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and any information utilized in connection therewith. The failure to provide any Required Information, or any other information or take any action described in this Section 5.19 shall not be a breach of this Section 5.19. Sellers make no representation or warranty as to any of the materials or information provided to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.19.

5.20 Delivery of Financial Information. (a) Honeywell shall deliver to Purchaser on or about June 12, 2008 (but no later than June 30, 2008) the Audited Financial Statements, and

(b) during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending immediately prior to the Closing Date, Honeywell shall provide Purchaser (i) within 30 days of the end of each fiscal month and, (ii) within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter (including the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2008, provided that the March 29 information shall be delivered to Purchaser on or about June 18, 2008 and no later than June 30, 2008), the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income and cash flows for the Business for each such fiscal quarter and for each completed fiscal month since the last such quarter ended, which unaudited fiscal quarterly financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and, in the cases of all monthly financial statements, as modified by the Specified Accounting Policies, on a basis otherwise consistent with the Audited Financial Statements and, in the case of any fiscal quarter, (x) set forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding fiscal quarter of the previous fiscal year and (y) shall have been reviewed by the independent accountants of Honeywell as provided in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100 (each such set of statements in this clause (ii) being “Marketing Interim Financial Statements”). Purchaser and its accountants shall have until the earlier of (A) five (5) Business Days from the date of delivery of the Audited Financial Statements or (B) the day prior to any public disclosure of, the Audited Financial Statements to review and discuss the Audited Financial Statements with Honeywell and Honeywell’s independent accountant who provided the audit report with respect to such Audited Financial Statements; provided that Honeywell shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its independent accountant to, provide reasonable access to the necessary personnel and audit work papers for the Business following delivery of the Audited Financial Statements, provided, however, that Purchaser’s representatives and accountants shall execute any customary “hold harmless” or similar agreements reasonably requested by Honeywell’s independent accountants in connection with access to such audit papers for the Business. If the Audited Financial Statements materially and adversely differ, on an aggregate basis, with respect to financial condition or results of operation set forth in the Year-End Financials without giving effect to the adjustments set forth on Schedule 5.20, Purchaser may terminate the Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1(b); provided that in the event of such termination, Sellers shall have no liability or obligation to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not terminate the Agreement within such period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Audited Financial Statements as delivered by Sellers and shall not have any right to terminate the Agreement on account of its disagreement or dissatisfaction with the Audited Financial Statements, except where the independent accountant of Honeywell has withdrawn or qualified its audit report with respect to the Audited Financial Statements.

5.21 Conduct of Purchaser’s Business. Purchaser shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to (as it relates to the Purchaser’s business):

(a) during the VWAP Measurement Period, issue, deliver, sell, pledge or encumber, or authorize, propose or agree to the issuance (or otherwise announce the issuance of), delivery, sale, pledge or encumbrance of, any shares of the capital stock of the Purchaser, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or options, warrants, calls, commitments or rights of any kind to acquire, any shares of any class or series of the capital stock of Purchaser (other than (i) pursuant to the existing stock option or similar equity incentive agreements with employees or directors of Purchaser or to such individuals pursuant to Purchaser’s stock option or similar equity incentive plans, in each case as in existence on the date hereof and as identified in Schedule 5.21, or (ii) pursuant to the vesting and/or exercise of stock options or similar equity

rights by employees or directors of Purchaser that are in existence on the date hereof or (B) granted or issued after the date hereof pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection;

(b) during the VWAP Measurement Period reclassify, combine, split, subdivide or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of its capital stock;

(c) subject to Section 5.5(c), enter into any agreement with respect to or consummate an acquisition or acquisitions of the business, stock, assets or other properties of any other Person(s), other than acquisitions that collectively do not provide for consideration in the aggregate in excess of $100,000,000 to the extent permitted in writing by all of the Initial Lenders under the Debt Commitment Letter, with satisfactory evidence of such approval delivered to Sellers concurrently;

(d) take any action that would hinder or delay the ability of Purchaser to obtain the Financing; or

(e) fail to notify Sellers of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition which could reasonably be expected to result in a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

5.22 Conduct of Incidents Subject to Parent Insurances. The Purchaser acknowledges that coverage for the Business under the Parent Insurances will cease as of the Closing Date, and that neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates will purchase any “tail” policy or other additional or substitute coverage for the benefit of Purchaser relating to the Parent Insurances or the Business applicable in any period after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding this provision, the Sellers agree that Honeywell, or one of its Affiliates, shall, with respect to any incident from which an Assumed Liability arises that is covered by a Parent Insurance policy in effect prior to the Closing Date, (i) report such incident to the appropriate insurer as promptly as practicable after such incident is reported to a member of Honeywell’s Corporate Risk Management group, (ii) include the Purchaser on material correspondence and possible litigation proceedings relating to such incident and (iii) pay over to Purchaser any third-party insurance proceeds actually received by Honeywell or any of its Affiliates under any Parent Insurances (net of any deductible or retention amounts) with respect to such incident or instruct that such proceeds are paid directly to the injured party in settlement of any claims relating to such incident, rather than to Honeywell or its Affiliates; provided that the Purchaser shall notify Honeywell Corporate Risk Management group promptly of any potential claim, shall cooperate in the investigation and pursuit of any claim and shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Sellers or its Affiliates in connection with the foregoing and provided further that the Sellers and their Affiliates shall be obligated to use only commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any claims that are covered by available Parent Insurance and shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, have any obligation to commence any litigation with respect to any matter potentially covered by any Parent Insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Honeywell nor any Seller makes any representation or warranty as to whether any recovery under any Parent Insurance will be received with respect to any particular incident arising before or after the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that no Seller shall have any liability under this Agreement or otherwise for any Liabilities for failure to report in a timely manner or for delays in reporting by Purchaser or its Affiliates that void any available coverage under Parent Insurance.

5.23 Supply Agreement Pricing.

(a) The parties shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to work together to, on a part number-by-part number basis, no later than July 15, 2008, set the price for each of the Products contained in Attachments 1-A and 1-B to the Supply Agreement (based on the methodology set forth below). The parties agree that, based upon 2007 volumes, with respect to the Initial Products (as defined in the Supply Agreement), Attachments 1-A and 1-B to the Supply Agreement shall reflect aggregate revenues to Seller equal to $78.3 million, reflecting volumes of such Initial Products that were within the Business as of the date of this Agreement; provided that (i) for those additional volumes to be added to the scope of the Supply Agreement not currently within the Business and which reflect the same part numbers as those part numbers comprising part numbers for the Initial Products, Buyer shall re-price such part numbers to reflect the expanded volumes provided by Seller to Buyer, and (ii) for those additional volumes to be added to the scope of the Supply Agreement not currently within the Business and which reflect new part numbers not previously comprising part numbers for the Initial Products, such part numbers shall be priced in accordance to the methodology set forth in Section 5(c) to the Supply Agreement. In the event the additional volumes added to the scope of the Supply Agreement pursuant to (i) and (ii) above affect the scope of Section 4(b) of the Supply Agreement, the parties agree to amend such Section 4(b) as necessary and appropriate to reflect such additional volumes.

(b) If the parties are unable to agree to pricing for any Products set forth on Attachments 1-A or 1-B of the Supply Agreement by July 15, 2008, then the price for such Products shall be determined no later than July 31, 2008 under the following method: Multiplying by 1.55 the lesser of either (i) Buyer’s then-current price for such Products pursuant to its then-applicable purchase commitments; or (ii) Seller’s then-current actual cost for such Products.

(b) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Honeywell, each Seller and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses that are imposed on or incurred by Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Article IV, as modified by the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, (ii) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Assumed Liabilities, (iv) any obligations or Liabilities of Purchaser described in Sections 5.8 or 5.19 or (v) the conduct of the Business acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the ownership, use and possession of the Purchased Assets on or after the Closing Date other than for any matter as to which Honeywell is

required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Article IX, taking into account any limitations set forth herein.

9.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Article IX in respect of a claim made against the Indemnified Party by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third-Party Claim promptly following receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim, other than those notices and documents separately addressed to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third-Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnifiable hereunder and to select counsel of its choice. If the Indemnifying Party (i) does not within 10 business days of its receipt of notice of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.3(a) elect to defend against or negotiate any Third-Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnifiable hereunder or (ii) after assuming such control fails to diligently defend against such Third-Party Claim in good faith, then the applicable Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the applicable Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain one counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Article IX and subject to the various provisions and limitations of this Article IX..

(c) If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall (and shall cause the applicable Indemnified Parties to) cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party and provide the Indemnifying Party with access to facilities as necessary. Similarly, if the Indemnified Party is defending or prosecuting such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall (and shall cause the applicable Indemnified Parties to) cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto

as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, no such Third Party-Claim may be settled, compromised or discharged by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless any such settlement, compromise or discharge (i) obligates the Indemnifying Party (or its Affiliates) to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim, (ii) no injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against any Indemnified Party and (iii) unconditionally releases all Indemnified Parties from all further liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim or is not permitted to assume such defense, the applicable Indemnified Parties shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) Any Third Party Claim relating to Taxes shall be governed by Section 5.15(d).

(e) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article IX that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly following the Indemnified Party becoming aware of the same. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article IX, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

9.4 Indemnification Limitations.

(a) In no event shall Honeywell be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to Section 9.2(a)(i) that are imposed on or incurred by Purchaser exceeds $10,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this sentence shall not apply with respect to any claim for indemnification in respect of any breach of a Seller Fundamental Representation and Warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Honeywell shall not (x) be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) in an aggregate amount in excess of $150,000,000 or (y) be liable for indemnification with respect to any Loss by an Indemnified Party of less than $25,000 (each, a “De Minimis Loss”) and all such Losses shall be disregarded and shall not be aggregated for purposes of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence shall not apply with respect to any claim for indemnification in respect of any Seller Fundamental Representation and Warranty; however, in no event shall Honeywell be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) with respect to breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations and Warranties for any Losses in excess of the Cash Consideration.

(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 under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) amounts recoverable by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under any insurance policy of Honeywell or any Seller relating to the period prior to the Closing with respect to such Losses (each, a “Collateral Source”), and (ii) any actual prior recovery by the Indemnified

Party from any Person with respect to such Losses. In the event of any indemnification claim paid, the Indemnifying Party may, in its sole discretion, require any Indemnified Party to grant to such Indemnifying Party 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 Article IX is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article IX, 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 IX had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall Honeywell or any Seller be liable for (i) any punitive damages or any special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages of any kind or nature, regardless of the form of action through which such damages are sought, (ii) any diminution in value or lost profits of any Indemnified Party except for lost profits which constitute direct damages; (iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Loss calculated by using or taking into account any multiples of (A) earnings, (B) book value, (C) cash flow or (D) other measures, unless, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), such damages are recovered by a third party in a Third Party Claim pursuant to an order entered against a Purchaser Indemnified Party or in a settlement agreement to which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is a party, (iv) any Losses arising from Purchaser failing to take reasonable steps to mitigate damages, or (v) any Losses to the extent such Liabilities are reserved on the Financial Statements of the Sellers that are Made Available to Purchaser prior to the date hereof.

(d) Purchaser acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to Contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements to which Honeywell, any Seller or any Transferred Entity is a party (including the Material Contracts) and such consents have not been obtained and may not be obtained. Purchaser agrees that neither Honeywell nor any Seller shall have any liability (other than, if breached, under Section 3.4 or Section 5.5(b)) whatsoever to Purchaser (and Purchaser shall not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of or loss of right under any such Contract, lease, license or other agreement as a result thereof. Other than, if breached, Section 3.4 or Section 5.5(b), Purchaser further agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of the Sellers contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached and no condition of Purchaser shall be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination or loss of right or any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or any such default, acceleration or termination or loss of right.

(e) Except with respect to fraud, notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, after the Closing, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties from and after the Closing

Date with respect to any and all claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, 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 other parties hereto 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 its Affiliates may have against the other parties hereto (including rights to indemnification or contribution, or any other rights or remedies), including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities Laws, trade regulation Laws or other Laws (including any relating to Tax, environmental, real estate or employee matters), by reason of this Agreement, the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein or contemplated hereby or thereby, except for claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions contained in this Article IX.

(f) All payments made pursuant to this Article IX shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price.

9.5 No Rights of Offset. Purchaser waives and relinquishes any and all rights to set off or to apply any monies held or indebtedness or other obligations now or hereafter owing by Purchaser to Sellers or any of their Affiliates against any obligations of Sellers or any of their Affiliates now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, certificate or similar document required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.
