(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Amended Agreement to the contrary, no asset, claim, right or benefit, the assignment or transfer of which is otherwise contemplated by this Amended Agreement, shall be assigned or transferred if such assignment or transfer (or attempt to make such an assignment or transfer) without the consent or approval of a third party would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such third party or would constitute a violation of or be ineffective under applicable Law (such assets, claims, rights or benefits being collectively referred to herein as “Restricted Assets”) until such consent or approval is obtained, or other action has been taken, at which time such Restricted Asset shall be automatically assigned or transferred. Subject to the final sentence of Section 6.04(a), each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent or approval as promptly as practicable after the date of the Original Agreement. If any such consent or approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, (i) each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent or approval as promptly as practicable, (ii) the assigning party shall endeavor to provide the assignee party, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable Law, with the benefits (including Tax benefits) of or with respect to the applicable Restricted Asset as if such Restricted Asset had been assigned to the assignee party (including by means of any licensing, operating, subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement), if the same is permitted under the applicable Restricted Asset and (iii) the assignee party shall bear and indemnify the assigning party for (except to the extent resulting from or arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of applicable Law by the assigning party) all the costs (including Tax costs), Liabilities, burdens and other Losses incurred with respect to any such Restricted Asset to the extent that it receives the corresponding benefits of or with respect to the applicable Restricted Asset under clause (ii) and subject to the limitation set forth in the final sentence of Section 6.04(a).

(b) As used in this Amended Agreement, the “Estimated Purchase Price” shall mean an amount equal to the Unadjusted Purchase Price plus (A)(i) if the Estimated Modified Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Upper Target, the amount equal to the Estimated Modified Working Capital minus the Working Capital Upper Target or (ii) if the Estimated Modified Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Lower Target, the amount equal to the Estimated Modified Working Capital minus the Working Capital Lower Target, plus (B) the amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to the Estimated Closing Net Indebtedness, minus (C) the amount equal to the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, minus (D) the Pension Plan Purchase Price Adjustment. For purposes of determining the amount of cash to be paid as the Estimated Purchase Price by Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser, not less than three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, a written statement certified by an officer of Seller (the “Closing Notice”) setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of: (i) the Modified Working Capital (such amount, the “Estimated Modified Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Net Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Net Indebtedness”), (iii) the Closing Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”) and (iv) the Estimated Purchase Price. Seller agrees that it shall prepare such Closing Notice in accordance with, as applicable, the definitions of “Closing Net Indebtedness” and “Closing Transaction Expenses” and, in the case of the Estimated Modified Working Capital, such Closing Notice shall be prepared in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, and Seller shall deliver together with such Closing Notice any reasonable supporting material with respect to any estimated amounts used by Seller in calculating the amounts set forth on such Closing Notice. Purchaser shall have two (2) Business Days from the receipt of the Closing Notice to provide Seller any comments with respect to the computation of any of the components of Estimated Modified Working Capital, Estimated Closing Net Indebtedness and Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, which comments shall be considered by Seller in good faith (it being understood that Seller shall be under no obligation to revise such Closing Notice in response to Purchaser’s comments). In the event Seller revises such Closing Notice in response to Purchaser’s comments, the revised statement incorporating revised estimates of the Estimated Modified Working Capital, Estimated Closing Net Indebtedness and Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable, shall be treated as the Closing Notice hereunder.

(c) The Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 2.03(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter. Within sixty (60) days after the Purchase Price shall have been deemed to be final pursuant to Section 2.04 below, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate that reasonably allocates the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the

Transferred Entities (or the assets thereof in the case of any Transferred Entity the assets of which are treated as being acquired by Purchaser or any of its designated Affiliates for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and the Transferred Assets in a manner consistent with Section 2.03(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation Certificate”). Purchaser shall have a period of twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Allocation Certificate (the “Response Period”) to present in writing to Seller notice of any objections Purchaser may have to the allocation set forth therein (an “Objections Notice”). Unless Purchaser timely objects, such Allocation Certificate shall be binding on the parties without further adjustment, absent manifest error. If Purchaser raises any objections within the Response Period, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute. If the parties fail to agree within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Objections Notice, then the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Arbitrator, whose determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The Accounting Arbitrator shall resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the item has been referred to it. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. Except as otherwise required by a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or similar provision of applicable Tax law or any other event (including the execution of a Form 870-AD) that finally and conclusively establishes the amount of any liability for Tax), (i) Purchaser and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries, or, in the case of Purchaser, its Affiliates, to) report the national, federal, state, provincial and local income and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation Certificate, and (ii) neither Purchaser nor Seller shall (and neither party shall permit its respective Subsidiaries to) take a position inconsistent with the Allocation Certificate on any Tax Return or filings (including any forms required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code). Each of Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with the other in preparing IRS Form 8594 or any equivalent statements required by any Governmental Authority charged with the collection of any income Tax for filing within a reasonable period before its filing due date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03(c) to the contrary, to the extent it is necessary to allocate the Estimated Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Transferred Entities and the Transferred Assets (or any subset thereof) prior to the final determination of the Allocation Certificate in connection with any of the transactions governed by the Foreign Acquisition Agreements (or other local closing agreements and documents required to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby for jurisdictions outside of the United States), each of Seller and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their Subsidiaries to) reasonably cooperate in good faith to agree upon such allocation in a manner consistent with Section 2.03(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

Section 2.04 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Section 2.04(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth certain current assets and current Liabilities accounts and certain accounting principles, methodologies and policies used in the determination of such accounts. Such accounts of the Business, cumulatively, as of immediately before the effective time of the Closing (as set forth in Section 2.05(a)), determined in accordance with Section 2.04(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, and the principles, methodologies and policies set forth therein and, to the extent not set forth therein, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, shall constitute the “Modified Working Capital”. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts included in the determination of Closing Net Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Pension Plan Purchase Price Adjustment shall be excluded from the determination of the Modified Working Capital.

(b) If the Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04 is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the total amount of such deficit, and if the Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04 exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the total amount of such excess, in either case by wire

transfer of immediately available U.S. dollar funds, within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Purchase Price, to an account designated by the party receiving payment no later than two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the Purchase Price.

(c) As promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within ninety (90) days after the Closing), Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of (i) Modified Working Capital, (ii) Closing Net Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Transaction Expenses and (iv) the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.04 (the “Closing Statement”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles, methodologies and policies set forth in Section 2.04 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (and, to the extent not set forth therein, in accordance with U.S. GAAP). The parties agree to provide each other and their respective Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to their respective books, records, work papers and personnel (and any other information which either party reasonably requests to the extent relating to the Business (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Business in any Deferred Asset Jurisdictions)) throughout the periods during which the Closing Statement is being prepared or evaluated and any disputes that may arise under this Section 2.04 are being resolved, in each case in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with the operations of such party’s businesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required to (x) violate any obligation of confidentiality to which Purchaser or Seller may be subject in discharging their obligations pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and (y) provide access to or disclose information where, upon the advice of counsel, such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or contravene any applicable Laws. If Seller disagrees with the determination of the Closing Statement, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such disagreement within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, which written notice shall set forth any such disagreement in reasonable detail (“Disagreement Notice”). If Seller fails to deliver a Disagreement Notice by the end of such sixty (60)-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser. Matters included in the calculations in the Closing Statement to which Seller does not object in the Disagreement Notice shall be deemed accepted by Seller and shall not be subject to further dispute or review. Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement, and any resolution agreed to in writing by Purchaser and Seller shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(d) If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement as contemplated by Section 2.04(c) within thirty (30) days after delivery by Seller of a Disagreement Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly select a mutually acceptable nationally recognized third party accounting firm, the retention of which will not give rise to present or potential future auditor independence problems for Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, as determined by the reasonable discretion of Seller and Purchaser, to resolve such disagreement (the firm so selected shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Arbitrator”). In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on the appointment of the Accounting Arbitrator, as provided above, then the Accounting Arbitrator shall be appointed, at the request of either Purchaser or Seller, by the American Arbitration Association, which Accounting Arbitrator shall be another nationally recognized third party accounting firm. The parties shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator to consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement as to which Purchaser has disagreed pursuant to a Disagreement Notice and Purchaser and Seller have not resolved their disagreement. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Arbitrator shall be limited to whether such calculation was done in accordance with the terms hereof, the accounting methods, standards, policies, practices, classifications, estimation methodologies, assumptions or procedures used to prepare the Closing Statement, and whether there were mathematical errors in the calculation of the Closing Statement, and the Accounting Arbitrator shall not make any other determination. The Accounting Arbitrator shall make its determination based solely on written submissions, presentations and supporting material provided by Purchaser and Seller and not pursuant to any independent review. In resolving any such disagreement, the Accounting Arbitrator may only select

an amount for each item in dispute that is within range of values established for such disputed item as determined by reference to the value assigned to such item by Seller in the Disagreement Notice and by Purchaser in the Closing Statement. Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Arbitrator to deliver to all parties, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Amended Agreement. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties, absent manifest error. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator arising in connection with this Section 2.04 shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in proportion to the differences between the Purchase Price as determined by the Accounting Arbitrator and the asserted Purchase Price set forth in the Closing Statement and the Disagreement Notice, respectively.

(e) Purchaser and Seller agree that any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be allocated in a manner consistent with any allocation agreed to pursuant to Section 2.03(c).

(f) With respect to Cash and Cash Equivalents and Indebtedness of the Business denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, the Applicable Exchange Rate for each such currency as of immediately before the effective time of the Closing as published by Bloomberg (BGN New York), shall be used to convert such amounts into U.S. dollars for purposes of determining Closing Net Indebtedness in connection with the adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.04.

Section 2.05 The Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amended Agreement (including Section 2.05(b)), the sale and purchase of the Battery Companies Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (all as contemplated hereby, the “Closing”) shall take place by electronic exchange of documents, (i) on the first (1^st) Business Day of the month following the later of (A) the third (3^rd) Business Day following satisfaction or waiver in writing (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the party entitled to the benefit thereof of all of the conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth in Article IX (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied only at the Closing, but subject to the written waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the party entitled to the benefit thereof or fulfillment of those conditions) and (B) the date that is three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the Purchaser of the Additional Financial Statements (subject, in the case of this clause (B), to the satisfaction or waiver in writing (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the party entitled to the benefit thereof of all of the conditions set forth in Article IX as of the date determined pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied only at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or written waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the party entitled to the benefit thereof of those conditions)) or (ii) at such other time and date or at such other place as Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”). For the sake of clarity, the transfer of the Battery Companies Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities will be deemed to take place and be effective in each jurisdiction at 12:01 A.M. local time (in the case of the United States, local time being New York time), on the day of the Closing Date (x) where the principal office or facilities of such Battery Company is located or (y) in the case of Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities, where the Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability resides, exists or arises.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended Agreement, if (i) any Consent of a Governmental Authority required to consummate the sale and transfer of the Battery Companies Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities in any applicable jurisdiction has not been obtained at the time of Closing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act, and the waiting periods, clearances, approvals and/or Consents under the applicable Review Law in each

of the other Specified Jurisdictions), (ii) despite the exercise by Seller of its reasonable best efforts, the Pre-Closing Restructuring has not been completed in any applicable jurisdiction as of the Closing, (iii) despite the exercise by Purchaser of its reasonable best efforts, Purchaser’s designated Affiliate in any applicable jurisdiction (A) is not fully formed, organized or incorporated, or (B) has not received the Governmental Authorizations necessary for the conduct of the Business in such jurisdiction prior to the Closing Date or (iv) either party determines, in good faith, that it is not reasonably practicable to consummate the sale and transfer of the Battery Companies Equity Interests or the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities in particular jurisdictions on the Closing Date (each such jurisdiction in which the circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iv) above apply, a “Deferred Asset Jurisdiction”), then Purchaser and Seller shall, subject to this Section 2.05(b) and Section 2.05(c), agree to defer (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) the consummation of the portion of the transactions contemplated in such Deferred Asset Jurisdiction solely with respect to the sale and transfer of the Battery Companies Equity Interests or the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, as applicable, in respect of such Deferred Asset Jurisdiction (such items for each Deferred Asset Jurisdiction, the “Deferred Assets and Liabilities”); provided, however, that, without the written consent of the other party, in no event shall either party have the right to defer the consummation of the sale and transfer of the Battery Companies Equity Interests or the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, as applicable, (x) in the United States or in the other jurisdictions set forth on Section 2.05(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter or (y) if such deferral would result in the Deferred Asset Jurisdictions accounting for 10% or more of the net sales of the Business in fiscal year 2017.

(c) From and after the Closing, and until such time as the applicable Deferred Assets and Liabilities have been transferred to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.05(b) (each, a “Deferred Transfer Closing”), such Deferred Assets and Liabilities will be held for Purchaser’s benefit and account and will be managed and operated by Seller and its Subsidiaries for the benefit and account of Purchaser, with all gains, income, Losses, Taxes and Tax benefits or other items generated thereby to be for the account of Purchaser or its designated Affiliate. Seller and Purchaser will use their respective reasonable best efforts to allow Purchaser or its designated Affiliate to receive the uninterrupted use and benefit of any Deferred Assets and Liabilities from the Closing Date to the date of its Deferred Transfer Closing. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 2.05 or the other provisions of this Amended Agreement, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, until the applicable Deferred Transfer Closing occurs, Seller will conduct the Business in such Deferred Asset Jurisdiction in accordance with the reasonable and lawful instructions of Purchaser and, except to the extent resulting from or arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of applicable Law by Seller or its Affiliates, Purchaser shall defend and indemnify the Seller Indemnified Persons and save and hold each of them harmless against any Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by them arising out of or as a result of the performance by Seller and its Affiliates of its and their respective obligations under this Section 2.05 in respect of any Deferred Assets and Liabilities from and after the Closing until the applicable Deferred Transfer Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 2.05.

(d) The Deferred Transfer Closing of any Deferred Assets and Liabilities shall occur as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the resolution of the applicable circumstance described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first sentence of Section 2.05(b) that caused such jurisdiction to be a Deferred Asset Jurisdiction or at such time as the Parties may mutually agree upon in writing. In connection with any Deferred Transfer Closing where the parties jointly determine that the applicable portion of the Purchase Price is required to be paid on such Deferred Transfer Closing by Purchaser’s designated Affiliate to the applicable Subsidiary Transferor in local currency: (a) at the Deferred Transfer Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable designated Affiliate to, deliver such portion of the Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Deferred Closing Date by Seller in a written notice to Purchaser; and (b) no later than two (2) Business Days following such Deferred Transfer Closing, Seller shall return

to Purchaser that portion of the Estimated Purchase Price or Purchase Price (as applicable) allocated to the applicable Deferred Transfer Jurisdiction in accordance with Section 2.03(c) of this Amended Agreement by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Deferred Closing Date by Purchaser in a written notice to Seller. Any amounts payable in local currency shall be determined by reference to the applicable spot rate published by Bloomberg (BGN New York) as of 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (and, for clarity, not the date of the Deferred Transfer Closing).

(e) For purposes of Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.06(a)(i), 2.06(a)(ii), 2.06(a)(iii), 2.06(b)(i), 3.04(c), 6.02, 6.04(a), 6.06, 6.10, 6.14(d), 7.01, 7.02, 8.04 and 8.05, to the extent applicable in connection with any Deferred Asset Jurisdiction, all references to the Closing or the Closing Date in such instances shall be deemed to be references to the applicable Deferred Transfer Closing or date of the applicable Deferred Transfer Closing, respectively.

Section 2.06 Deliveries for the Closing.

(a) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser:

(i) instruments of transfer and conveyance, properly executed and acknowledged by Seller and/or its applicable Subsidiaries in such customary form as is reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser, that are necessary to effect or evidence the transfer of the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser (or to such Affiliate(s) of Purchaser designated pursuant to Section 2.01(a)), including, a warranty deed (in form customary in the applicable jurisdiction) with respect to each Owned Real Property, conveying to Purchaser (or to such Affiliate(s) of Purchaser designated pursuant to Section 2.01(a)) fee simple title (or local equivalent) to such Owned Real Property, subject only to Permitted Liens, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and an assignment and assumption of lease with respect to each of the Real Property Leases (other than the Identified Lease) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser;

(ii) certificates representing the Battery Companies Equity Interests (to the extent certificated), duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock or unit powers duly endorsed in blank in proper form for transfer or other proper instruments of transfer, along with such other documentation or filings as may be required under applicable Law to vest in Purchaser (or in such Affiliate(s) of Purchaser designated pursuant to Section 2.01(a)) the Battery Company Interests;

(iii) a counterpart of each of the Ancillary Agreements, executed by each of Seller and any of its Subsidiaries that is a party thereto, to the extent not previously delivered;

(iv) a receipt for the Estimated Purchase Price;

(v) the certificates referred to in Section 9.02(a) and Section 9.02(b);

(vi) a certification of non-foreign status from Seller signed by an authorized officer of Seller that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2); and

(vii) a written consent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser from the counterparty under the Real Property Lease set forth on Section 2.06(a)(vii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter to the assignment of such Real Property Lease (the “Lease Consent”).

(b) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller:

(i) a counterpart of each of the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Xxxx of Sale), executed by each of Purchaser and any of its Affiliates that is a party thereto, to the extent not previously delivered;

(ii) the Estimated Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date by Seller in a written notice to Purchaser;

(iii) a receipt for the Transferred Assets and Battery Companies Equity Interests acknowledging the purchase of the Transferred Assets and Battery Companies Equity Interests pursuant to this Amended Agreement; and

(iv) the certificates referred to in Section 9.01(a) and Section 9.01(b).

Section 2.07 Accounting. To the extent that, after the Closing, (a) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives any payment that is properly for the account of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Entities) according to the terms of this Amended Agreement (including any payment in respect of or under any Excluded Asset or otherwise due to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) or, with the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment on behalf of Purchaser or any of its designated Affiliate(s) (including any payment in respect of or under any Assumed Liability or otherwise payable by the Business), Purchaser shall promptly deliver such amount to Seller, and (b) Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Entities) receives any payment that is properly for the account of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates according to the terms of this Amended Agreement (including any payment in respect of or under any Transferred Asset or otherwise due to the Business) or, with the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates makes a payment on behalf of Seller (including any payment in respect of or under any Retained Liability or otherwise payable by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries), Seller shall promptly deliver such amount to Purchaser, in each case, pursuant to a mutually agreed weekly cash reconciliation and off-set process conducted by the parties. All amounts due and payable under this Section 2.07 shall be due and payable by the applicable party in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account designated in writing by the other party.

Section 2.08 Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Amended Agreement such amounts as Purchaser or any of its designated Affiliates is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided that Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller of any expected deduction or withholding at least five (5) Business Days prior to the withholding (which notice shall specify the legal authority and the calculation method for the expected withholding); provided, further, that Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith with Seller (including by providing Seller with a reasonable opportunity to provide any applicable certificates, forms or documentation that would reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding) and shall otherwise take such steps as Seller may reasonably request to reduce or eliminate, such requirement to withhold Tax. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and paid over to the proper Governmental Authority, such withheld and deducted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Amended Agreement as having been paid to Seller and the Subsidiary Transferors (as applicable) in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.09 Foreign Acquisition Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, enter into such agreements and

instruments (collectively, the “Foreign Acquisition Agreements”) providing for the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment or delivery of any Transferred Asset, Battery Companies Equity Interest and/or the assumption of any Assumed Liability located outside the United States of America as the parties jointly determine would be required or advisable pursuant to, or to comply with, requirements of applicable local Law to be documented separately from this Amended Agreement, which Foreign Acquisition Agreements shall be negotiated in good faith between the parties, but in all events shall be consistent with the terms of this Amended Agreement and have appropriate provisions to pay the applicable portion of the Purchase Price, as applicable, in local currency if necessary (which will reduce the corresponding obligation to make payment under this Amended Agreement) in such amounts and such countries as jointly determined by the parties and shall contain customary provisions as agreed to by the parties with respect to local law and Tax matters not inconsistent with this Amended Agreement. Any amounts payable in local currency shall be determined by reference to the applicable spot rate published by Bloomberg (BGN New York) as of 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (x) nothing in the Foreign Acquisition Agreements, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to replace, substitute, modify, expand, qualify or limit in any way the terms of this Amended Agreement and (y) to the extent that any provision of any Foreign Acquisition Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms of this Amended Agreement, this Amended Agreement will govern.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RELATING TO SELLER AND THE BATTERY COMPANIES EQUITY INTERESTS

Except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter delivered by Seller to Purchaser simultaneously with the execution hereof, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that all of the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct as of the date of the Original Agreement and as of the Closing Date (other than such representations and warranties that refer to a specified date, in which case of the such date). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller makes no representations and warranties in this Article III relating to the Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities. For purposes of the representations and warranties of Seller contained herein, disclosure in one Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter of any items, facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be disclosure of such items, facts or circumstances with respect to any other representations or warranties by Seller calling for disclosure of such information, whether or not such disclosure is specifically associated with or purports to respond to one or more of such other representations or warranties, if it is reasonably apparent on the face of the Seller Disclosure Letter that such disclosure is applicable. The inclusion of any information in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or other document delivered by Seller pursuant to this Amended Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 3.01 Organization, Standing and Power.

(a) Each of Seller, the Subsidiary Transferors and those of Seller’s Controlled Affiliates that are or will be parties to the Ancillary Agreements is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (except in any jurisdiction that does not recognize such a concept) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each of Seller, the Subsidiary Transferors and those of Seller’s Controlled Affiliates that are or will be parties to the Ancillary Agreements (i) has all requisite power and authority to own, lease or otherwise hold or operate its assets and properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted, and (ii) is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing (except in any jurisdiction that does not recognize such a concept) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing, holding or operation of its assets and properties and

the conduct of its business as currently conducted makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Seller has made available to Purchaser complete and correct copies of the organizational documents of each of Seller and each Subsidiary Transferor, each as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified through (and including) the date of the Original Agreement.

Section 3.02 Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Seller and its Subsidiaries had or have (as applicable) all requisite corporate power and authority and full legal capacity to execute the Original Agreement and this Amended Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, to fully perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder and to consummate the Acquisition, and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery by Seller and its Subsidiaries of the Original Agreement, this Amended Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is, or is specified to be, a party and the consummation by Seller and the Subsidiary Transferors of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seller and the Subsidiary Transferors, and no other action on the part of Seller or the Subsidiary Transferors is necessary to authorize this Amended Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of the Acquisition or the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Seller has duly executed and delivered the Original Agreement, this Amended Agreement and, at or prior to the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries will have duly executed and delivered each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, and, assuming the due execution and delivery by Purchaser, this Amended Agreement constitutes Seller’s, and each Ancillary Agreement to which Seller or its Subsidiary is, or is specified to be, a party will, after execution and delivery by Seller or its Subsidiary (as the case may be), constitute Seller’s and such Subsidiary’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law.

Section 3.03 No Conflicts; Consents and Approvals. Subject to (x) receipt of the consents, approvals and waivers, and the making of the filings and notifications, in each case listed in Section 3.03 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, (y) compliance with any requirements of the HSR Act and applicable Review Laws and (z) the filing by Seller of reports under the Exchange Act and as contemplated by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, none of (1) the execution and delivery by Seller of the Original Agreement or this Amended Agreement and by Seller and its Subsidiaries of each Ancillary Agreement to which it is or will be a party, (2) the consummation by Seller or each such Subsidiary Transferor, of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (3) the compliance by Seller with any of the provisions hereof or thereof, as the case may be, will:

(a) Purchaser has delivered to Seller complete and correct copies of (i) the executed debt commitment letter, dated as of the date of the Original Agreement, and as amended on or prior to the date of this Amended Agreement, between Purchaser and the financial institutions identified therein and the executed fee letters, fee credit letters and engagement letters associated therewith (provided, that the amounts and percentages in the fee letter related to fees, certain other economic terms and the “flex” provisions included therein, but only to the extent that none of such provisions would adversely affect conditionality, may be redacted) (such commitment letter, together with all exhibits, schedules, annexes, supplements and amendments thereto and any related redacted fee letters, collectively, the “Debt Financing Commitment”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Financing Sources have agreed to lend the amounts set forth therein for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement, and (ii) the executed Escrow Notes and the Escrow Indenture Documents, pursuant to which, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions set forth therein, funds could be released from an escrow account for purposes of funding the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement. As of the date hereof and except to the extent provided therein as a result of the issuance of the Escrow Notes or as otherwise permitted by Section 6.12, (x) the Debt Financing Commitment has not been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived since copies thereof were delivered to Seller, (y) no such amendment, restatement, modification or waiver is contemplated and (z) the commitment contained in the Debt Financing Commitment has not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect.

As of the date of hereof, the Debt Financing Commitment is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of Purchaser and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law. There are no conditions or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing (including any “flex” provisions), other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents. Assuming (A) the Debt Financing is funded in accordance with the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents, (B) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Articles III and IV, and (C) performance by Seller and its Subsidiaries of their obligations that are required to be performed prior to the Closing, the aggregate proceeds to be disbursed pursuant to the agreements contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment, the Escrow Notes and the Escrow Indenture Documents, together with Purchaser’s unrestricted cash on hand and other access to capital, in the aggregate will be sufficient for Purchaser to pay the Estimated Purchase Price on the Closing Date, any payment required to be made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.04 (if any) and all

related fees and expenses and any other payment contemplated in this Amended Agreement, the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Articles III and IV and performance by Seller and its Subsidiaries of their obligations under this Amended Agreement, as of the date hereof, (I) no event has occurred that would result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) by Purchaser under the Debt Financing Commitment, the Escrow Notes and/or the Escrow Indenture Documents and (II) Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Debt Financing and/or the release of proceeds from escrow with respect to the Escrow Notes will not be satisfied or that the proceeds of the Debt Financing (including the release of the proceeds of the Escrow Notes from escrow) will not be available to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Purchaser has fully paid or has caused to be fully paid all commitment fees or other fees required to be paid on or prior to the date hereof pursuant to the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents.

(b) The obligations of Purchaser under this Amended Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding the ability of Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any other Person to obtain financing for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.08 Solvency.

For purposes of this Amended Agreement, the term “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination (x) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (i) the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable Liabilities of such Person on its existing debts (including contingent and other Liabilities) as such debts become absolute and mature, (y) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (z) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

Section 5.09 Exclusivity of Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance on Seller Estimates.

(a) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article III and Article IV, in the Ancillary Agreements or in certificates delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(v), Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller nor any other Person (i) is making or has made any representation or warranty (whether express or implied) on behalf of Seller, any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) or their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects, or any of their respective Representatives in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) except as expressly

(b) Without limitation of the representations and warranties contained in Article III and Article IV, in the Ancillary Agreements or in certificates delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(v), Purchaser acknowledges that in connection with the due diligence investigation of the Business by Purchaser, Purchaser has received and may continue to receive from Seller, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Business and its operations; that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, with which Purchaser is familiar; and that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as such business plans, so furnished to Purchaser (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans), and that Purchaser has not relied on such information.

Section 6.02 Access to Information. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, give Purchaser and its Representatives, upon reasonable advance notice and during regular business hours, reasonable access to the books, records, personnel, officers and facilities of the Business (except that Purchaser shall not conduct any environmental sampling or analysis (including the sort customarily referred to as a Phase II Environmental Assessment) without the advance written consent of Seller, and without executing a customary access and indemnity agreement in respect thereto); provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in a manner that complies with Section 6.03 and at Purchaser’s expense, at a reasonable time, under the reasonable supervision of Seller’s personnel and in such a manner as to maintain confidentiality and not to interfere with the normal operations of the businesses of Seller and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything contained in this or any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller executed on or prior to the date of the Original Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any obligation to make available to Purchaser or its Representatives, or provide Purchaser or its Representatives with, (a) any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return filed by Seller or any of its Affiliates or predecessors, or any related material, except to the extent that any such Tax Return or related material relates solely to the Transferred Entities, the Business or the Transferred Assets or (b) any information if making such information available would (i) reasonably be likely to result in a waiver of any attorney-client or other legal privilege, or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party) (it being understood that Seller shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to Purchaser to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement).

Section 6.03 Confidentiality; Publicity.

(a) Purchaser and Seller shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and their respective Representatives, to comply with all of their respective obligations under the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2017, between Seller and Purchaser (the “Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, that such obligations shall be subject to any exceptions expressly set forth herein, including the last sentence of Section 6.12(b). The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference (subject to any exceptions expressly set forth herein, including the last sentence of Section 6.12(d)) and shall continue in full force

and effect and survive the Closing in accordance with its terms. From and after the Closing, the restrictions on the use and disclosure of Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement shall not apply to Purchaser or its Affiliates and their respective Representatives in respect of any information solely to the extent relating to the Business, the Transferred Entities (after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Restructuring), the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. If this Amended Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement, and Purchaser’s obligations thereunder pursuant to this Section 6.03, shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in all respects. In the event of any conflict between the Confidentiality Agreement and this Amended Agreement, this Amended Agreement shall control until the termination of this Amended Agreement without the Closing having occurred.

(b) The timing and content of the initial public announcement regarding the Original Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to the general public shall be mutually agreed upon in advance by Seller and Purchaser; provided, that if any subsequent public disclosure is required by applicable Law, U.S. GAAP or by the rules and regulations of, or pursuant to any agreement of a stock exchange or trading system to be made by Purchaser or Seller and would vary in any material respect from the initial agreed upon public announcement, such party shall be permitted to issue such public disclosure only if it has provided the other party with reasonable advance notice and opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure. Seller shall not, and Seller shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entities) not to, issue any broadly distributed communication of a general nature to employees of the Business (including general communications relating to benefits and compensation) related to the Original Agreement or this Amended Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without providing Purchaser with reasonable advance notice and opportunity to review and comment on such communication.

Section 6.04 Reasonable Best Efforts and Actions to Cause the Closing to Occur.

(a) Prior to the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Amended Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall (and each of them shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done and cooperate with each other in order to do, all things necessary, proper or advisable (including by cooperating in advance of any potential filing contemplated by the second succeeding sentence) to consummate the Closing as promptly as practicable, including using their reasonable best efforts: (x) to cause the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Closing and the taking of all other such reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain any requisite approvals, authorizations, consents, clearances, orders, licenses, permits, qualifications, exemptions or waivers, to avoid an Action by, or to lift any injunction or other legal bar to the consummation of the Acquisition by any third party or Governmental Authority relating to Review Laws and (y) to cause the conditions to the Closing specified in Article IX to be satisfied. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Purchaser and Seller agrees to file, or cause to be filed, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of the Original Agreement all notification and report forms or applications that may be required under Review Laws with respect to the Acquisition. In the event the Closing has not occurred on or prior to March 28, 2019, and if required in the reasonable judgment of either Purchaser or Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) submit a notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act relating to the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice as soon as practicable (and in any event no within (2) Business Days) following such date. In addition, no party hereto shall take any action after the date of the Original Agreement that would reasonably be expected to delay, hinder or otherwise obstruct the consummation of the Closing, including any action that delays the obtaining of, or results in not obtaining, any approval, authorization, consent, clearance, order, license, permit, qualification, exemption or waiver from any

Governmental Authority or other Person required to be obtained prior to the Closing (it being understood that this sentence shall not be deemed to expand the obligations or modify the rights of Seller pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.16(a)). Notwithstanding anything in this Amended Agreement to the contrary (i) Purchaser and Seller shall equally bear all the costs, expenses and fees incurred or payable to any other Person in connection with obtaining such approvals, authorizations, consents, orders, licenses, permits, qualifications, exemptions or waivers, including filing fees under the HSR Act and under any other applicable Review Laws (including the cost and expense of any consultants or other non-legal outside advisors the parties have retained in connection with any review by a Governmental Authority related to a Review Law), and (ii) all obligations of Purchaser to obtain the Debt Financing or any other financing for the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.12 and not this Section 6.04. Nothing in this Section 6.04(a) or in Section 2.01(b) shall be construed to imply that Seller or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to pay or deliver anything of value to secure any third party consents.

(b) If any party hereto or Affiliate thereof receives a request for information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Original Agreement or this Amended Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, then such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

(c) None of the parties shall voluntarily extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Review Law or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority to delay or not to consummate the Acquisition except with the prior written consent of the other parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, keep Purchaser reasonably informed about any negotiations Seller, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective Representative has with any Labor Organization, such as works councils and unions regarding the implementation of the Pre-Closing Restructuring. Seller and its Affiliates, with respect of the Business, may not enter into any agreement with a Labor Organization without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(e) The parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining the requisite approvals, authorizations, consents, clearances, orders, licenses, permits, qualifications, exemptions or waivers of each applicable Governmental Authority, including:

(i) cooperating with each other in connection with filings under the HSR Act and any applicable Review Laws, any foreign investments Laws or any other Laws;

(ii) subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.04(e), furnishing to the other party all information within its possession that is reasonably required for any application or other filing to be made by the other party pursuant to the HSR Act and any applicable Review Laws, any foreign investment Laws or any other Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Original Agreement and this Amended Agreement;

(iii) promptly notifying each other of any communications from or with any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Original Agreement and this Amended Agreement;

(iv) not agreeing to participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in connection with Laws unless it consults with the other party in advance, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority but subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.04(e), gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat, in each case, to the extent permitted by Law; and

(v) subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.04(e), consulting and cooperating with one another in connection with all analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, submissions, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings and Actions under or relating to the HSR Act and any applicable Review Laws, any foreign investment Laws or any other Laws in connection with the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.04(g)(ii), Purchaser shall make the final determination as to the appropriate course of action with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 6.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Amended Agreement shall require Seller to disclose to Purchaser any nonpublic information about itself, any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ respective businesses or operations other than information relating to the Business, the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Entities and the Overhead and Shared Services.

(f) Purchaser shall initiate or vigorously defend on the merits any Action in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Governmental Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would reasonably be expected to restrain, enjoin or otherwise prohibit, or delay in any material respect the consummation of the Acquisition.

(g) Without limiting or otherwise modifying in any respect Purchaser’s obligations contained in this Section 6.04, Purchaser and Seller further agree that:

(i) Purchaser shall initiate a bona fide sale process with respect to such business as is required to be divested in accordance with Section 6.04(h) as promptly as practicable following issuance of a clearance decision, or to the extent practicable promptly during the pendency of an in-depth investigation, in each case pursuant to the EC Merger Regulation (the “Divestiture Process”).

(ii) With respect to any Divestiture Process, Purchaser shall (A) use good faith efforts to seek to maximize the value received by Purchaser (taking into account the expected timing and likelihood of consummation, and all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposed transaction in the Divestiture Process, in each case as Purchaser’s board of directors reasonably deems relevant), (B) to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, keep Seller reasonably informed on a prompt basis with respect to the status of the Divestiture Process and any material developments relating thereto and (C) consult with Seller with respect to the strategy undertaken in connection with the Divestiture Process. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be entitled to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law to participate in the Divestiture Process as a potential buyer (it being understood that Seller shall be under no obligation to do so and the failure of Seller to so participate or to retain the business contemplated by the Remedy shall not limit or otherwise modify Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 6.04 in any respect); provided, however, that if Seller is participating in the Divestiture Process as a potential buyer, Purchaser shall not be required to comply with its obligations under clauses (B) and (C) of the immediately preceding sentence. Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Divestiture Process to be completed as soon as practicable and prior to the Termination Date).

(iii) In the event that the aggregate proceeds actually received by Purchaser as a result of the divestiture undertaken in connection with the Divestiture Process (after giving effect to

any post-closing net working capital or other similar purchase price adjustment) are (i) greater than the European Battery Business Target Price, then Purchaser shall promptly pay Seller within three (3) Business Days of the final determination of the purchase price for the divestiture undertaken in connection with the Divestiture Process an amount equal to 25% of such excess, or (ii) less than the European Battery Business Target Price, then Seller shall promptly pay Purchaser within three (3) Business Days of the final determination of the purchase price for the divestiture undertaken in connection with the Divestiture Process an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 75% of the difference between the European Battery Business Target Price and the amount so received in such sale, and (B) $200,000,000.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended Agreement, and except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, any amount paid by Purchaser under this Section 6.04(g) (except any amount that constitutes imputed interest under the Code and regulations thereunder) shall be treated as an addition to the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser for the business contemplated by the Remedy and allocated thereto, and any amount paid by Seller under this Section 6.04(g) shall be treated as a reduction of the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser for the business contemplated by the Remedy and allocated as a reduction thereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be required to take any action, including (x) conducting a Divestiture Process, (y) implementing any Remedy or (z) entering into any consent decree, hold separate orders or other arrangements, in each case, (I) that requires the divestiture of any assets of any of Purchaser or Seller, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (II) limits Purchaser’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to retain the Business or any portion thereof or any of Purchaser’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ other assets or businesses; provided, however, that in order to proactively resolve as promptly as practicable any perceived competition concerns with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, following the date of this Amended Agreement, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, in each case to the extent necessary in order to obtain clearance, agree to:

(i) divest, transfer or assign, and/or to enter into distribution, supply or licensing Contracts or other similar arrangements, and take any other reasonable actions related thereto, in each case in respect of all or a portion of the European Battery Business; and

(ii) enter into supply, distribution or licensing Contracts or other similar arrangements with the European Battery Business or any such portion of it as is divested pursuant to Section 6.04(h)(i) in connection with the Divestiture Process and/or with the buyer of any such business, and take any other reasonable actions related thereto, in respect of hearing aid batteries and related components, for supply by such business solely in the Non-Audiologist Retail Channel;

provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to divest, transfer or assign, and/or to enter into distribution, supply or licensing Contracts or other similar arrangements, or take other actions related thereto, Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’: (A) consumer battery, chargers, and portable power and lighting business in North America, Latin America and Asia‐Pacific, or (B) other than to the extent expressly contemplated by Section 6.04(h)(ii), business with respect to hearing aid batteries and related components under the Rayovac® brand, private label or otherwise.

Section 6.05 Bulk Sales. Where permitted under applicable Law, Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Seller and its Subsidiaries with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer Laws in connection with the sale of the Business to Purchaser and its Affiliates. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates against any and all claims that may be asserted by third Persons

against Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of noncompliance by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with any such bulk transfer Law.

Section 6.06 Insurance.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.06(b), (i) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Transferred Entities after the Closing not to, assert, by way of claim, action, litigation or otherwise, any right to any Seller Policies or any benefit under any such Seller Policies, and (ii) Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) shall retain after the Closing all right, title and interest in and to Seller Policies, including the right to any credit or return premiums due, paid or payable in connection with the termination thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all claims and proceeds actually paid out to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries under occurrence based Seller Policies or under directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability policies that are Seller Policies (in all cases, other than actual or de facto self-insurance arrangements) after the Closing shall be for the benefit of Purchaser (and Seller and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in the pursuit of such recoveries) to the extent such claims and proceeds are in respect of (1) the Assumed Liabilities or (2) the Business or the Transferred Assets, and Seller shall cause such proceeds, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in obtaining the proceeds, to be transferred to Purchaser promptly after such proceeds are received by Seller; provided, however, that such proceeds shall be for the benefit of, and shall be kept by, Seller to the extent such proceeds are reimbursements (x) for expenditures that have been made prior to the Closing by Seller or (y) to the extent relating to insurance coverage for Retained Liabilities. After the Closing, Purchaser may pursue insurance coverage under an occurrence based Seller Policy or under directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability policies that are Seller Policies (other than any actual or de facto self-insurance arrangement) in respect of (1) the Assumed Liabilities or (2) the Business or the Transferred Assets, and Purchaser may control the pursuit of any such insurance claim. If Purchaser informs Seller in a timely manner of such claim, then Seller shall report and pursue such claim in a manner that is at least as favorable to the claimant as the manner in which Seller reports and pursues claims by itself or its then-existing Subsidiaries. To the extent Purchaser and/or its Affiliates are insureds under the Seller Policies, Purchaser shall have the right to control the pursuit of any such insurance claim, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s pursuit of insurance coverage under the Seller Policies. Seller’s duty to cooperate is conditioned upon Purchaser’s payment of any reasonable out-of-pocket incidental costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with Purchaser’s pursuit of insurance claims under the Seller Policies, including the necessary and reasonable costs and expenses of Seller’s consultants, brokers and outside counsel (collectively, “Outside Consultants”). If Purchaser’s pursuit of insurance coverage necessitates the use of any Outside Consultant by Seller, Seller will promptly advise Purchaser and provide Purchaser with an opportunity to evaluate and provide its views on the retention and reasonable costs of such Outside Consultant. For any insurance claims or proceeds Purchaser is entitled to under this Section 6.06, Purchaser shall be liable for and shall reimburse Seller for all related insurance charges, including any deductibles, allocated and unallocated claim expenses, and any adjustments that result in the recoupment of insurance proceeds paid by the insurer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.06(b), Purchaser shall bear all risk related to the unavailability of insurance coverage, and Seller shall have no liability, including to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, for the inability to obtain insurance coverage for the benefit of Purchaser.

(c) With respect to insurance coverage written on a claims made basis (other than directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability policies), Seller and its Affiliates shall have no Liability to Purchaser and its Affiliates or the Business under such insurance coverage in connection with claims made after the Closing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.03(a), Purchaser shall

not be obligated to seek recovery or make any claim under any such insurance coverage. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (other than the Transferred Entities) to, cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of any present or former director or officer of the Business (an “Employee Indemnified Party”) as provided in (A) the organizational documents of Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than the Transferred Entities), or (B) agreements between an Employee Indemnified Party and Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Transferred Entities), in each case in effect at the Closing Date, to survive the Closing and to continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Closing Date, or, if longer, for such period as is set forth in any applicable agreement with an Employee Indemnified Party in effect on the date of the Original Agreement. Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain in effect the Seller Policies providing directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability coverage for the Transferred Entities for the remaining term of such policies and for six (6) years following the Closing shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, enter into any renewal or replacement thereof that would have the effect of excluding the Employee Indemnified Parties from coverage thereunder. Purchaser shall cause all Transferred Entities to cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of any Employee Indemnified Party as provided in (A) the organizational documents of the Transferred Entities, or (B) agreements between an Employee Indemnified Party and any Transferred Entities, in each case in effect at the Closing Date, to survive the Closing and to continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Closing Date, or, if longer, for such period as is set forth in any applicable agreement with an Employee Indemnified Party in effect on the date of the Original Agreement. The indemnification obligations of the Transferred Entities shall be primary to any indemnification obligations of the Sellers or its Affiliates as it relates to losses suffered by any Employee Indemnified Party.

(d) Purchaser shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Seller and its Subsidiaries (at the expense of Seller) to obtain the return or release of all bonds, security, credit support, parent guarantees, and indemnifications given by Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than by the Transferred Entities without any credit support from Seller and its Subsidiaries, other than the Transferred Entities) in connection with the Business, and, if necessary to effectuate such return or release, Purchaser shall, to the extent required, post its own bonds, security, letters of credit, guarantees or other collateral or provide indemnification in substitution therefor, in each case solely to the extent provided by Seller on the date of the Original Agreement, and only on terms and conditions equal to or more favorable than those in existence on the date of the Original Agreement; provided, that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the applicable Transferred Entities) shall be obligated to make any payments or incur any unreasonable costs or expenses in connection with this Section 6.06(d).

Section 6.07 Certain Services and Benefits Provided by Affiliates; Intercompany Matters; Further Assurances.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that the Business currently receives Overhead and Shared Services from other business units of Seller and its Subsidiaries. Purchaser further acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement, all such Overhead and Shared Services shall cease, and any agreement with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller in respect thereof shall terminate, as of the Closing Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement, following the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall in good faith determine a mutually acceptable subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement under which Purchaser would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits under, and, to the extent first arising after the Closing, assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, the portion of any Shared Contract that is an Excluded Contract relating to the Business, and Seller would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits under, and, to the extent first arising after the Closing, assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, the portion of any Shared Contract that is a Transferred Contract not

relating to the Business. Each party shall, upon the reasonable written request from the other party, use reasonable efforts to enforce for the benefit of the other party (at such other party’s sole cost and expense) all rights against any third party under such Shared Contract to the extent such rights arise under the portion of the Shared Contract relating to the other party’s business, and, as applicable, promptly pay to the other party when received all monies received by them under such Shared Contract. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its Affiliates against any and all Losses incurred, suffered or sustained by such party or its Affiliates or asserted against such party or its Affiliates as a result of any action taken by such first party or any of its Affiliates under or with respect to any Shared Contract that such first party or any of its Affiliates obtains the benefits under pursuant to this Section 6.07(a).

(b) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Amended Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Purchaser and Seller agree and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries or, in the case of Purchaser, its Affiliates, to agree (and Purchaser shall cause the Transferred Entities to agree) that, from and after the Closing, all rights and obligations of any party under all Contracts between Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than the Transferred Entities and the Business), on the one hand, and the Transferred Entities and the Business, on the other hand, (including all intercompany receivables and payables between such entities) shall terminate and be cancelled without any further Liability, including Liability relating to any period prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, immediately prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause any Indebtedness owing from any of the Transferred Entities to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Transferred Entities) to be discharged or released without any Liability to Purchaser, the Business or any Transferred Entity. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be not be required to terminate any intercompany Contracts (including any such Contracts with respect to Indebtedness) to which the only parties thereto are Transferred Entities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement.

(c) Each of the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries (including, in the case of Purchaser from and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) to execute and deliver such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the provisions of this Amended Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the execution and delivery of such assignments, deeds and other documents as may be necessary to transfer any Transferred Assets or Battery Companies Equity Interests as provided in this Amended Agreement and any items identified as a closing deliverable in any Foreign Acquisition Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall prepare, execute and deliver whatever reasonable supplemental agreements, instruments or other documentation is necessary to consummate the transfer of the Battery Companies Equity Interests in accordance with the applicable Laws of the jurisdictions under which the Transferred Entities are organized and on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Amended Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such agreements, instruments and documentation, nothing in such agreements, instruments and documentation shall supersede or otherwise amend or modify the rights and obligations provided for in this Amended Agreement and, in the event of any conflict or alleged conflict between such agreements, instruments and documentation, on the one hand, and this Amended Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and conditions of this Amended Agreement (including Article XI) shall prevail. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Closing (i) Seller shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) do all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law as reasonably requested by Purchaser (A) to put Purchaser in actual possession, ownership and control of the Transferred Assets and Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller for such purpose and (B) to assure that Seller and its Subsidiaries, rather than Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, are the obligors in respect of all Retained Liabilities and (ii) Purchaser shall do all things necessary, proper and advisable under applicable Law as reasonably requested by Seller (A) (at Seller’s expense) to transfer to Seller (or such other Person as Seller shall indicate) any Excluded Assets that Purchaser, any Transferred Entity or any of their respective Affiliates may possess (other than,

for the avoidance of doubt, any Cash and Cash Equivalents in the jurisdictions set forth on Section 1.01(m) of the Seller Disclosure Letter that are above the applicable cap, if any), (B) to assure that Purchaser, rather than Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, is the obligor in respect of all Assumed Liabilities, and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser for such purposes and (C) except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.07(c) and Section 6.08, to cease the use or deployment by the Business of those names and Trademarks that do not constitute Transferred Assets as set forth in Section 6.07(c)(ii)(C) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (“Retained Trademarks”). Purchaser shall, upon the request of Seller, and at no cost to Seller (other than reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses), make the Transferred Employees available at reasonable times and cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller and its Subsidiaries in the preparation for, and defense of, any lawsuit, arbitration or other Action (whether disclosed or not disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter) filed or claimed against Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of the respective agents, directors, officers and employees of Seller and its Affiliates, whether currently pending or asserted in the future, concerning the operation or conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date (including in each case by making Transferred Employees available at reasonable times to provide information and discovery documentation, take depositions and testify). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall (i) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date or one (1) year after the last Local Agency Agreement terminates, whichever period is the last to expire (the “Sell-Through Period”), (x) have the right to use any signs, billboards, advertisements, vehicle and equipment markings, stationary, letterhead, sales literature, invoices, purchase orders, forms, business cards and other media, including respective online material, bearing or incorporating any the Retained Trademarks, and (y) have the right to use any containers, displays, product tags, labels, packaging or other similar materials bearing or incorporating the Retained Trademarks, in each case of (x) and (y), whether such materials exist at Closing or are created within the Sell-Through Period, until the exhaustion of such materials and (ii) within a period of thirty (30) days after the last Local Agency Agreement terminates, change all corporate names incorporating any of the Retained Trademarks; and, for the avoidance of doubt, at the end of the foregoing time-periods, Purchaser and its Affiliate shall cease the sale, distribution or use of any such products, materials or names bearing or incorporating any of the Retained Trademarks (except as expressly permitted under this Amended Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for so long as any Local Agency Agreement (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) is in effect, nothing shall prohibit Seller, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates from complying with the terms thereof and such compliance shall be deemed not to be a breach of any provision of this Amended Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing sentence, the time periods set forth in this Section 6.07(c) shall be deemed to be automatically extended as necessary to permit continued operations pursuant to the Local Agency Agreements.

Section 6.08 Other Intellectual Property.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, and excluding any Trademarks, with respect to any Intellectual Property included in the Excluded Assets owned or licensed (to the extent that such Intellectual Property can be sublicensed on the terms herein without any consent, payment or other consideration and without any relinquishment or forbearance of any rights, and, in any event, excluding any Software or Intellectual Property used for Overhead and Shared Services) by Seller and its Affiliates as of the Closing Date that is used, held for use by or necessary to the operation of the Business as of the Closing Date (including with respect to products in development), Seller does hereby, and shall cause its Affiliates to, grant Purchaser in and to such Intellectual Property a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, publish, display, perform, make, have made, sell, offer, import or otherwise exploit, solely in connection with the Business, any product, process, work or service.

(b) Section 6.08 shall not obligate Seller and its Affiliates to deliver any further information or tangible materials to Purchaser beyond that set forth elsewhere in this Amended Agreement.

(c) Purchaser may sublicense the rights contained within Section 6.08(a) without prior written consent only in a manner consistent with how Purchaser sublicenses its own comparable Intellectual Property including by the inclusion of reasonable confidentiality terms.

(d) Purchaser may not assign the rights contained within Section 6.08(a) without the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Purchaser may assign such rights in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Seller (i) in connection with any merger, public offering, consolidation, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of the assets or any divisions, businesses, operating units or portion of Purchaser or (ii) to Purchaser’s Affiliates.

(e) For the period commencing upon the Closing Date and ending upon the date that is thirty-six (36) months after the Closing Date, in the event that Purchaser or any Transferred Entity (i) becomes aware that Purchaser or such Transferred Entity does not have in its possession certain technical schematics, designs, manuals, records and other documentation owned by Seller or its Affiliates and used in the operation of the Business or the operations of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ businesses as of the Closing Date (in each case, including with respect to products or services in development) (“Materials”) and (ii) has a reasonable belief that Seller or its Affiliates may have such Materials in their possession, then, upon Purchaser’s request, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make copies of such Materials available to Purchaser and the Transferred Entities for their use in connection with the Business without any further consideration owed in connection therewith.

(f) Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not at any time after the Closing Date (i) oppose, seek cancellation of, object to, challenge the strength, validity or enforceability of, or otherwise attack Purchaser’s or any of the Transferred Entities’ ownership, application, or registration of, or (ii) oppose, object to, challenge, or otherwise attack Purchaser’s or any of the Transferred Entities’ or any of its or their respective customers’, resellers’, suppliers’, or licensees’ use of, in each of subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.08(f), any Acquired Intellectual Property; provided, that, nothing in this Section 6.08(f) shall prevent Seller or any of its Subsidiaries from complying with any order issued by a Governmental Authority, defending itself, its products or others in any Action, or enforcing this Amended Agreement.

(g) On or prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the actions set forth on Section 6.08(g) of the Seller Disclosure Letter to be taken.

Section 6.09 Ancillary Agreements; Identified Sublease.

(a) Seller and Purchaser shall enter into the Transition Services Agreement on the Closing Date as contemplated by Section 6.09(b). In connection with the foregoing, the parties will cooperate in good faith to finalize the scope and other terms of the services to be provided by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement (which such cooperation shall include, to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, making appropriate personnel available to participate in meetings and other discussions relating to the foregoing).

(b) On the Closing Date, each of Purchaser and Seller shall (or, if applicable, each shall cause its Subsidiaries or, in the case of Purchaser, its designated Affiliates to) execute and deliver each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party if such Ancillary Agreement has not been previously executed.

(c) Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any consents or approvals under the lease agreement for the Leased Real Property identified on Section 4.08(a)(1) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Identified Lease”) that are required to enable Purchaser and Seller to enter into a sublease agreement with respect to the Identified Lease substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Identified Sublease”). Subject to and upon receipt of any such required consents or approvals, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into the Identified Sublease on the Closing Date.

Section 6.10 Maintenance of Books and Records; Cooperation. After the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall preserve, until at least the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by applicable Law, all pre-Closing records (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any loss run information with respect to Seller Policies, any information or statutory records, including in relation to the Pre-Closing Restructuring and any updates thereto) possessed or to be possessed by such party to the extent relating to the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Overhead and Shared Services. After the Closing Date and up until at least the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by applicable Law, upon any reasonable request from a party hereto or its Representatives, the party holding such portion of the records relating to the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Subsidiaries that owned the Transferred Assets prior to the Pre-Closing Restructuring or prior to the Closing shall (a) provide to the requesting party or its Representatives reasonable access to such portion of the records relating to the Business during normal business hours and (b) permit the requesting party or its Representatives to make copies of such records, in each case at no cost to the requesting party or its Representatives (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require either party to take any action or provide any access pursuant to this Section 6.10 if doing so would (i) reasonably be likely to jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or other legal privilege, or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party) (it being understood that Seller shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to Purchaser to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement). Such records may be sought under this Section 6.10 for any reasonable purpose in connection with any matter relating to or affected by the operations or tax reporting of the Business, including to the extent reasonably required in connection with the audit, accounting, financial reporting, tax, litigation, federal, foreign, or state securities disclosure or other similar needs of the party seeking such records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all such records may be destroyed by a party if such destroying party sends to the other party hereto written notice of its intent to destroy such records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the records to be destroyed; such records may then be destroyed after the sixtieth (60^th) day following such notice unless the other party hereto notifies the destroying party that such other party desires to obtain possession of such records, in which event the destroying party shall, prior to destroying such records, give the requesting party a reasonable opportunity, at the requesting party’s expense, to segregate and transfer the records. In addition, following the Closing, each party agrees to provide and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to provide, such cooperation and assistance to the other party, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such party’s auditors), as may be reasonably requested by such other party upon reasonable advance written notice, in connection with the audit, accounting, financial reporting, tax, litigation, federal, foreign or state securities disclosure or other similar needs of such requesting party; provided, that such cooperation and assistance shall be provided at the requesting party’s expense.

Section 6.11 Endorsement of Checks. Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser following the Closing to endorse for deposit only its name on and collect for Purchaser’s account any checks received in payment of any Accounts Receivable included in the Transferred Assets, and any refunds of deposits, prepaid expenses and similar amounts included in the Transferred Assets.

Section 6.12 Financing.

(a) Purchaser shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or replace, the Debt Financing Commitment and/or the Escrow Indenture Documents, without the prior written consent of Seller, if such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement (i) (A) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount) to an amount that is below an amount that, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in Article III and Article IV, is sufficient to complete the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement and pay all fees and amounts in connection with this Amended Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (B) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise adversely expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing, or (C) otherwise expand, amend or modify any provision of the Debt Financing Commitment and/or the Escrow Indenture Documents, in the case of this clause (C), in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) materially delay or prevent the Closing, (II) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights under the Debt Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements with respect thereto and/or the Escrow Indenture Documents or (III) materially delay or impair the availability of the Debt Financing at the Closing or materially impede the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing at the Closing (including release of the proceeds of the Escrow Notes from escrow) (clauses (A), (B) and (C), collectively, the “Restricted Financing Commitment Amendments”) (provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.12, Purchaser may amend the Debt Financing Commitment (1) to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Financing Commitment as of the date hereof, but only if the addition of such additional parties, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in the occurrence of a Restricted Financing Commitment Amendment, or (2) in connection with an alternative financing as contemplated by clause (b) of this Section 6.12) or (ii) results in the early termination of the Debt Financing Commitment.

(b) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Financing Commitment (including by complying with so-called “flex” provisions) until the funding of the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain a waiver of) all conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing at the Closing as set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents (other than those that are solely within the control of Seller and its Subsidiaries) and comply with all of its material obligations thereunder, (iii) negotiate, execute and deliver definitive agreements (which with respect to any bridge facility documentation shall not be required until reasonably necessary in connection with the funding of the Debt Financing) with respect to such Debt Financing on the terms and conditions (including the “flex” provisions) contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents (and provide executed copies of such definitive agreements to Seller) or on other terms in the aggregate materially no less favorable to Purchaser or the interests of Seller, as to conditionality, than the terms and conditions in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents, as applicable (provided that in no event shall any such definitive agreement contain terms (other than those included in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents) that would constitute Restricted Financing

Commitment Amendments), (iv) fully pay any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Debt Financing Commitment, and (v) upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents, consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing and enforce its rights under the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents. In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions) contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller and shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources for such portion on terms and conditions (x) not materially less favorable to Purchaser than the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents, (y) with conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing not materially less favorable to the interests of Seller than those included in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents, and (z) in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the payment of the Estimated Purchase Price, the amount to be paid pursuant to Section 2.04 and all related fees and expenses promptly following the occurrence of such event, and in any event prior to or on the Closing Date, and, if obtained, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller true and complete copies of a new financing commitment pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide Purchaser with any portion of the Debt Financing. Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed and in reasonable detail with respect to all material developments concerning the Debt Financing, including advising and updating Seller, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to status and proposed closing date of the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of (1) any breach or default by any party to the Debt Financing Commitment or the Escrow Indenture Documents of which Purchaser has become aware, which breach or default if not cured could reasonably be expected to result in the unavailability of the Debt Financing or any termination of any of the Debt Financing Commitment or the Escrow Indenture Documents, (2) of the receipt by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or their respective employees, agents or representatives of any notice or other communication from any Person with respect to any (I) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Financing Commitment, the Escrow Indenture Documents or any definitive agreement related thereto or (II) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Debt Financing Commitment, the Escrow Indenture Documents or any definitive agreement related thereto, in each case which could reasonably be expected to result in the unavailability of the Debt Financing or any termination of any of the Debt Financing Commitment or the Escrow Indenture Documents, and (3) if for any reason Purchaser believes in good faith that (I) there is (or there is reasonably likely to be) a material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Debt Financing Commitment, the Escrow Indenture Documents or any definitive agreement related thereto which could reasonably be expected to result in the unavailability of the Debt Financing or any termination of any of the Debt Financing Commitment or the Escrow Indenture Documents or (II) there is a material possibility that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the financing contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment, the Escrow Indenture Documents or the definitive agreements related thereto. References in this Amended Agreement to “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment and the Escrow Indenture Documents as permitted by this Section 6.12 to be amended, modified or replaced (including, replacement with alternative financing and alternative financing commitments pursuant to this Section 6.12) and references to “Debt Financing Commitment” shall include such documents as permitted by this Section 6.12 to be amended, modified or replaced (including replacement with alternative financing commitments pursuant to this Section 6.12), in each case from and after such amendment, modification or replacement.

(c) Unless otherwise provided below, prior to the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall provide to Purchaser, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective directors,

officers, employees, consultants, agents, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, in each case, use reasonable best efforts to provide to Purchaser, all cooperation that is reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing or any debt securities being issued in conjunction with or in lieu of all or a portion of the Debt Financing, including using reasonable best efforts in connection with: (i) as promptly as reasonably practical, furnishing Purchaser with (A) the Required Information and (B) such other pertinent information (including financial information and other information to the extent necessary in the preparation of an information package regarding the Business, in each case, to the extent reasonably available to Seller and its Subsidiaries without undue burden and expense to Seller and its Subsidiaries, regarding the Transferred Entities and the Business as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in writing, and in any case, solely to the extent necessary to permit Purchaser to prepare a bank information memoranda or similar document, to consummate the Debt Financing, (ii) assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing, (iii) before the Closing and, to the extent reasonably necessary to allow Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to consummate the Debt Financing, using reasonable best efforts to obtain instruments relating to guarantees and other matters ancillary to the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser as necessary and customary in connection with the Debt Financing, (iv) using reasonable best efforts to assist Purchaser in connection with its preparation of pro forma financial information to the extent required for the Debt Financing and to be included in any syndication documents, (v) executing and delivering as of the Closing, on behalf of the Transferred Entities and the Business, any necessary pledge and security documents and otherwise reasonably facilitating the granting of a security interest (and perfection thereof) in collateral, guarantees, mortgages, other definitive financing documents or other certificates or documents as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser; provided that any obligations contained in all such agreements and documents shall be subject to the occurrence of the Closing and effective no earlier than the Closing, (vi) cooperating reasonably with the Financing Sources’ due diligence, to the extent customary and reasonable and participating in due diligence sessions, (vii) obtaining customary payoff letters, Lien terminations and instruments of discharge necessary to be delivered at the Closing to allow for the payoff, discharge or termination in full on the Closing Date of any debt necessary to evidence the release of liens or guarantees, (viii) taking all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Purchaser that are necessary or customary to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing and (ix) providing all documentation and other information about the Business and the Transferred Entities to the extent required by applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including the USA PATRIOT Act, in each case, to the extent reasonably requested at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall not be required to authorize, execute, deliver or perform under any agreement with respect to the Debt Financing that (A) unreasonably interferes with the ongoing business of Seller or its Subsidiaries; (B) causes any covenant, representation or warranty in this Amended Agreement to be breached in a manner that would cause any closing condition to Purchaser’s obligations to fail to be satisfied or otherwise causes the breach of this Amended Agreement (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing); (C) requires Seller or its Subsidiaries to incur any liability (including, without limitation, any commitment fees and expense reimbursement) in connection with the Debt Financing, other than solely in the case of the Transferred Entities, any liability that is contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing or that would be effective only on and after the Closing; (D) requires Seller or its Subsidiaries or their respective directors, officers, managers or employees to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document, certificate or instrument with respect to the Debt Financing or adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents, instruments and other actions pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained; (E) requires Seller or its Subsidiaries to give any legal opinion or other opinion of counsel; or (F) requires Seller or its Subsidiaries to take any action that is prohibited or restricted by, or will conflict with or violate, its organizational documents. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fees or make any

other out-of-pocket payment or incur any other liability or obligation or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the foregoing in connection with the Debt Financing in connection with assisting Purchaser in arranging the Debt Financing or as a result of any information provided by Seller, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in connection with the Debt Financing. Seller, on behalf of the Business, hereby consents to the use of the Business’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Business, Seller or its Subsidiaries. Purchaser agrees that any information regarding Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates contained in any presentations, offering documents, teasers or other materials in connection with, or related to, the Debt Financing shall be subject to the prior review of Seller, which review shall be completed promptly after receipt thereof.

(d) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, their respective Subsidiaries and the Representatives of each of the foregoing (the “Financing Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, awards, judgments, fines, interest, and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (including any replacement or alternative financing) and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.12 or any information utilized in connection therewith (other than directly arising from a material misstatement in, or material omission in, the information, taken as a whole, provided by or on behalf of the Seller, specifically for use in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing), in each case other than to the extent any of the foregoing arises from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates and Representatives. Purchaser shall, promptly from time to time, and any in any case, within three (3) Business Days of written request therefor, advance or reimburse (as requested in writing) Seller and its Subsidiaries for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including external legal costs and expenses and costs and expenses of their respective Representatives) that have been incurred by Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Subsidiaries (including those of their respective Representatives) in connection with cooperation under Section 6.12 and/or in the preparation or cooperation with respect to the preparation of the financial statements for use by the Purchaser in any of its public filings, including the notes thereto, or any audit or review of such financial statements by independent accountants (which for avoidance of doubt, shall include those contemplated by Section 6.17). This Section 6.12(d) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, and any termination of this Amended Agreement, and is intended to benefit, and may be enforced by, the Financing Indemnitees and their respective heirs, executors, estates, personal Representatives, successors and assigns who are each third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.12(d).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amended Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.12 shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Purchaser be deemed or construed to require, Purchaser to (i) to pay any fees in excess of those contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitment (whether to secure waiver or any conditions contained therein or otherwise), (ii) amend or waive any of the terms or conditions hereof or (iii) consummate the Closing at any time prior to the date determined in accordance with Section 2.05(a).

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Prior to the Closing, if reasonably requested by Purchaser, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the auditors that have audited the Business’s audited financial statements to permit the filing of such financial statements (and corresponding reports) with the SEC if so required in connection with a registration statement.

Section 6.13 Certain Covenants.

(a) As consideration for and to induce Purchaser to pay the consideration set forth in this Amended Agreement, during the Restricted Period, Seller shall, and Seller shall cause each other Restricted Party not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any Restricted Activities; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.13 shall prohibit any Restricted Party from acquiring (by asset purchase, stock purchase, merger or consolidation) a business that engages in Restricted Activities (such business, an “Acquired Competitive Business”) and thereafter engaging in, or owning, operating, controlling, managing, financing or participating in, or attempting to do any of the foregoing, with respect to such Acquired Competitive Business, if:

(i) such Acquired Competitive Business generated less than either (A) five percent (5%) of the net revenues of the combined businesses that are being acquired as part of the same transaction or related transactions in which such Acquired Competitive Business is being acquired (measured for the last twelve (12) months for which such financial data are available prior to the execution of the definitive agreement for such acquisition (or the date of the consummation of such acquisition if there is no such definitive agreement)), or (B) $15,000,000 in net revenues (measured for the last twelve (12) months for which such financial data are available prior to the execution of the definitive agreement for such acquisition (or the date of the consummation of such acquisition if there is no such definitive agreement)); and

(ii) Seller shall, only in the event that neither the condition in clause (a)(i)(A) nor the condition in clause (a)(i)(B) of this proviso were satisfied, promptly pursue and thereafter engage in one or more transactions that result in the sale, in a commercially reasonable manner, (or, at Seller’s election in its sole discretion, shut down) of such Acquired Competitive Business to the extent necessary so that the remaining Acquired Competitive Business would have satisfied either the condition in clause (a)(i)(A) or the condition in clause (a)(i)(B) of this proviso (for the avoidance of doubt the denominator to be used for purposes of measuring the condition in clause (a)(i)(A) pursuant to this subparagraph (a)(ii) shall be the same denominator used in subparagraph (a)(i)).

Seller represents, stipulates and acknowledges on behalf of itself and the other Restricted Parties that: (x) the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6.13(a) are a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into the Original Agreement and this Amended Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby for which the Restricted Parties will receive a substantial financial benefit, and (y) it would impair the goodwill acquired by Purchaser and reduce the value of the Business obtained by Purchaser through the transactions contemplated hereby if such Restricted Party were to use its ability and knowledge in competition with Purchaser, its Affiliates or the Business, or to otherwise breach the obligations contained in this Section 6.13(a).

(b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending two (2) years following the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) contact, solicit or assist in the solicitation of, employ or retain any individual who is on the Closing Date an employee of the Business or an employee of Seller, as applicable, unless such individual is (A) no longer in the employ of the Business or Seller, as applicable, or (B) contacted or solicited through general non-targeted solicitation or advertisement in a newspaper, online or through an employment agency; or

(ii) contact, solicit, assist in the solicitation of, or cause any supplier, customer, licensee or service provider with whom the Business or Seller, as applicable, has a commercial

relationship, whether by contract or otherwise, in each case with the intent to reduce, discontinue or alter in a manner adverse to the Business or Seller, as applicable, such commercial relationship.

(c) Each of Seller and Purchaser has carefully read this Section 6.13 and considered the restraints imposed upon it and their respective Subsidiaries and Controlled Affiliates and is in full accord as to the necessity of such restrictive covenants for the reasonable and proper protection of Purchaser, its Affiliates and the Business, or Seller and its Affiliates, as applicable, and agrees that each commitment and restraint imposed by the provisions of this Section 6.13 is fair and reasonable with respect to subject matter, geographic scope and time period. It is expressly understood and agreed that although Seller and Purchaser consider such covenants to be fair and reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or any other restriction contained in this Section 6.13 is an invalid or unenforceable restriction against Seller, Purchaser or their respective Subsidiaries and Controlled Affiliates, the provisions of this Section 6.13 shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply to such maximum time and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Amended Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein, which shall be given full force and effect without regard to such finding.

(d) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending three (3) years following the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Controlled Affiliates not to, disparage, in any form or fashion, including over any electronic or social media, any Purchaser Indemnified Person (including Purchaser’s existing business or products) or Seller Indemnified Person (including Seller’s existing business or products), as applicable, or otherwise take any action or make any statement which could reasonably be expected adversely to affect the reputation of, or cause any third Person to lower its perception of the quality or integrity of, as applicable, Purchaser, Seller, their businesses or their products (in the case of Purchaser following the Closing, including the Business and the Products).

(e) Each of Seller and Purchaser acknowledges that it has informed each of their respective Subsidiaries, Controlled Affiliates and Representatives of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6.13, to the extent applicable, and has directed each such Person to comply with all of the provisions of this Section 6.13, to the extent applicable. Each of Seller and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, from and against any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them arising out of or in connection with any non-compliance by any of their respective Subsidiaries and Controlled Affiliates or Representative with the applicable provisions of this Section 6.13.

Section 6.14 Pre-Closing Restructuring.

(a) Subject to Section 2.05(b), to the extent not already completed between the date of the Original Agreement and the date of this Amended Agreement, prior to the consummation of the Closing Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, engage in restructuring activities necessary to effect a reorganization of certain assets, liabilities and legal entities to separate the Business from Seller’s other businesses (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Restructuring”), which such Pre-Closing Restructuring shall be undertaken in a manner consistent with Section 6.14 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (as the same may be modified in accordance with this Section 6.14) and otherwise in a manner, and pursuant to documentation, reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and in accordance with applicable Law. Following the Pre-Closing Restructuring, at the Closing, Purchaser shall (directly or indirectly) own and assume all the assets,

properties, claims, rights and Liabilities of Seller and its Subsidiaries constituting Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities and neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entities) shall (directly or indirectly) own any Excluded Assets or be liable for or have any responsibility with respect to any Retained Liabilities.

(b) Seller may propose changes to Section 6.14 of the Seller Disclosure Letter and Exhibit A (including in order to designate any additional Subsidiaries as a Transferred Entity (whether as a Battery Company or as a Battery Company Subsidiary) or to remove any Subsidiary from the universe of Battery Companies or Transferred Entities) at any time prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall consider any such proposal in good faith and shall not unreasonably object to, delay or condition its consent to such proposed changes. Any such agreed changes shall be incorporated into a revised, amended and restated Section 6.14 of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Exhibit A, as applicable.

(c) In connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring, Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to (i) deliver all agreements, instruments, certificates and all other documents to effect the Pre-Closing Restructuring to Purchaser (with appropriate redaction for confidential information relating to Seller’s other businesses or third-parties) and (ii) keep Purchaser reasonably informed with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the Pre-Closing Restructuring and consult with Purchaser on a regular basis and cooperate in good faith in connection with all of Purchaser’s reasonable requests for information related to the Pre-Closing Restructuring. In the event that, at any time between the date of this Amended Agreement and the Closing, Exhibit A is amended to designate any additional Subsidiaries as a Transferred Entity (whether as a Battery Company or as a Battery Company Subsidiary) or to remove any Subsidiary from the universe of Battery Companies or Transferred Entities, Seller shall be permitted to revise the Seller Disclosure Letter at such time to include any additional necessary disclosures related thereto. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (x) nothing in any agreements or instruments entered into by Seller or its Affiliates with each other or Third Parties in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to replace, substitute, modify, expand, qualify or limit in any way the terms of this Amended Agreement and (y) to the extent that any provision of any such agreements or instruments conflict or is inconsistent with the terms of this Amended Agreement (whether or not such agreement or instrument is stated to be subject to the terms of this Amended Agreement), this Amended Agreement will govern.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt but subject to Section 2.05(b), the Pre-Closing Restructuring shall be completed by Seller or its applicable Subsidiaries prior to the Closing.

(e) At or prior to the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser all agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents necessary to evidence the release of all Liens, guarantees or other encumbrances against the Transferred Entities and Transferred Assets with respect to the Credit Agreement, dated June 23, 2015, as amended, with Spectrum Brands Inc. as the Borrower and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent.

Section 6.15 Notification of Certain Matters. During the period following the date of the Original Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Amended Agreement pursuant to its terms, each of Seller and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the other party upon receiving Knowledge of (a) any notices, complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated) of any Governmental Authorities with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, (b) any written notices or other written communications from any third Persons alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, (c) the institution of any material Action involving Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries that

relates, in each case, to the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement, or (d) any material event, development, or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article IX or that would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement; provided, however, that without prejudice to Purchaser’s rights under Article XI, no such notification or failure to make such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereunder or constitute, in and of itself, a breach giving rise to the failure of a condition to the Closing set forth in Article IX. For informational purposes only, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to supplement or amend in writing the Seller Disclosure Letter with respect to any matter, event, circumstance or condition which was required (or, if occurring before, or existing and known at, the date of the Original Agreement, would have been required) to be set forth or described on Sections 4.04, 4.05, 4.08, 4.11, 4.17 and 4.20 of the Seller Disclosure Letter. For clarity, neither any such supplemental or amended disclosure, nor any failure by Seller to make any such supplement or amendment if Seller has used its commercially reasonable efforts to do so, will be taken into account for any purpose under Article IX (including for purposes of determining the existence or occurrence of a breach pursuant to Section 11.01(a) and determining the amount of Losses arising out of or resulting therefrom) or for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 9.02 have been satisfied.

Section 6.16 Exclusivity.

(a) During the period following the date of the Original Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Amended Agreement pursuant to its terms, Seller shall not, shall cause its Subsidiaries not, and shall direct its other Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives not, directly or indirectly, to: (i) encourage, facilitate, initiate, solicit or make any proposal or offer with respect to or enter into a merger, acquisition, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, equity investment or similar transaction involving the Business, or, other than as expressly permitted by Section 6.01(b)(v), any purchase of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Business (each, a “Proposal”) with any Person other than Purchaser; or (ii) other than informing Persons of the existence of this Section 6.16, or communicating that such Person is not permitted to engage in such activity at such time, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any information or data concerning the Business to, or have any discussions with, any Person other than Purchaser that has made a Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 6.16 shall restrict Seller from, subject to compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement, discussing, negotiating, providing information in connection with, entering into any agreement providing for, consummating or otherwise taking any action in connection with a merger, tender offer, sale, business combination transaction or other similar transaction so long as such transaction would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or make more unlikely to occur the consummation of the Acquisition; it being agreed that any transaction described in this sentence or proposal or offer with respect thereto shall not constitute a Proposal.

(b) Seller shall notify Purchaser orally and in writing promptly (but in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by Seller, its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Representatives of any Proposal from any Person other than Purchaser. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Person making the Proposal and copies of any written Proposals or amendments and supplements thereto. Seller shall keep Purchaser informed, on a current basis (but in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours), of any material changes in the status and any material changes or modifications in the material terms of any such Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to take any action that would violate any existing confidentiality agreement.

(c) Seller shall, and shall direct its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, and each of their respective Representatives to, immediately terminate all discussions or negotiations with all Persons other than Purchaser who have made Proposals that are currently ongoing and shall promptly request the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information provided to (and terminate the VDR access of) such Person in connection with such Person’s consideration of a possible Proposal.

(a) As soon as practicable after they become available, and in no event later than 60 days after the date of the Original Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser complete and correct copies of (i) the unaudited, combined carve-out balance sheets of the Business as of September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2017 and (ii) the unaudited, combined carve-out statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Business for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015, September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2017 (collectively, the “Unaudited Annual Financial Statements”). The Unaudited Annual Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Regulation S-X and on the same basis as the Pre-Signing Financial Statements, with the exception that the unaudited financial statements do not include footnotes and remain subject to changes resulting from normal year-end adjustments (it being agreed that the reference to preparation in accordance with Regulation S-X shall not require (x) separate subsidiary financial statements or any other information of the type required by Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X or “segment reporting” or (y) the inclusion of other information customarily excluded from an offering memorandum involving an offering of high-yield debt securities pursuant to Rule 144A).

(b) As soon as practicable after they become available, and in no event later than December 20, 2018, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser complete and correct copies of (i) the audited, combined carve-out balance sheets of the Business as of September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2018 and (ii) the audited, combined carve-out statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Business for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016, September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2018 and accompanying notes to such financial statements (collectively, the “Audited Financial Statements”), prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Regulation S-X and accompanied by an audit report of the Business’ independent accountants (it being agreed that the reference to preparation in accordance with Regulation S-X shall not require (x) separate subsidiary financial statements or any other information of the type required by Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X or “segment reporting” or (y) the inclusion of other information customarily excluded from an offering memorandum involving an offering of high-yield debt securities pursuant to Rule 144A).

(c) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to Purchaser (i) within forty (40) days after each fiscal quarter ended at least forty (40) days prior to the Closing Date, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018 (other than the fourth fiscal quarter of a fiscal year), an unaudited, combined balance sheet and unaudited, combined carve-out statement of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the Business as of and for such period, including the comparable period in the prior year, and accompanying notes to such financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Regulation S-X that have been reviewed by the Business’ independent accountants as provided in the procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in AU 722, (ii) within ninety (90) days after each fiscal year ended at least ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date (beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018), the audited, combined carve-out balance sheet and audited combined statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Business as of and for such period and accompanying notes to such financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Regulation S-X and accompanied by an audit report of the Business’ independent accountants (the financial statements described in clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to as the “Additional Financial Statements”) and (iii) within fourteen

ARTICLE VII

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 7.01 Offers of Employment.

(a) Not later than seventy (70) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date as reasonably agreed by the parties (the “Anticipated Closing Date”), Seller shall provide Purchaser updates to Section 1.01(a)(ii) and Section 1.01(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter setting forth in a non-anonymized fashion the then-current Business Employees and Deferred Transfer Employees. Purchaser and Seller may mutually agree to revise Section 1.01(a)(ii) and Section 1.01(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter within five (5) days of receipt of such updated lists. Not later than ten (10) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such updated lists, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to each Business Employee listed on the then-current Section 1.01(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, with the exception of any Automatic Transfer Employees and any Employees who are employed by a Transferred Entity (the “Offer Employees”). All offers of employment will be contingent upon execution of Purchaser’s customary assignment of inventions, work made for hire, non-disclosure, non-solicitation and non-competition agreements. Any offers of employment made to Offer Employees who are anticipated to be Actively at Work on the Closing Date shall provide for employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser to commence effective as of 12:00 A.M., local time, on the Closing Date. Any offer of employment made to an Offer Employee who is not anticipated to be Actively at Work on the Closing Date (an “Inactive Employee”) shall provide for employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser to commence effective as of 12:00 A.M., local time, on the date the Inactive Employee becomes available to return to work and shall be conditioned on the Inactive Employee becoming available to return to work within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Closing Date or within such longer time as may be required by applicable Law or Labor Contract. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any offers of employment made to Deferred Transfer Employees shall be governed by the Transition Services Agreement. All offers of employment shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 7.01 and the Transition Services Agreement. Not later than ten (10) days prior to the Anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser non-anonymized updates to Section 1.01(a)(ii) and Section 1.01(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter. Each Offer Employee who accepts Purchaser’s or one of its Affiliate’s offer of employment and whose employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates commences pursuant to this Amended Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, together with each Business Employee employed by a Transferred Entity, along with each Automatic Transfer Employee, shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee” and the date on which any such Transferred Employee commences employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall be referred to herein as the Transferred Employee’s “Transfer Date.” An Offer Employee

(other than an Inactive Employee) who arrives at his or her then applicable place of employment in the Business on the Closing Date shall be deemed for all purposes of this Amended Agreement to have accepted Purchaser’s or one of its Affiliate’s offer of employment for all purposes of this Amended Agreement. An Inactive Employee who arrives at his or her then applicable place of employment in the Business in accordance with an offer made to such Inactive Employee pursuant this Section 7.01(a) shall be deemed for all purposes of this Amended Agreement to have accepted Purchaser’s or one of its Affiliate’s offer of employment for all purposes of this Amended Agreement. Offers pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) shall be on terms and conditions consistent with Section 7.01(c), be at a location not more than twenty-five (25) miles from such Offer Employee’s principal place of employment immediately prior to the Closing, and otherwise comply in all respects with such applicable Law (including with respect to compensation and benefits) and may, if Seller reasonably requests, make employment contingent upon the Transferred Employee’s waiver of any and all claims or right to severance in connection with the transfer of employment subject to applicable law; provided, however, that all offers of employment to Offer Employees whose terms and conditions of employment are governed by a Labor Contract shall be in accordance and comply with the terms of such applicable Labor Contract.

(b) The parties intend that, in accordance with the Transfer Regulations, the employment and the Employment Agreements of the Automatic Transfer Employees will (other than in respect of any such employee who objects to a transfer or resigns and leaves prior to the Closing) transfer from Seller or one of its Affiliates automatically by operation of law to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement, and, accordingly, each such Employment Agreement will have effect after the relevant transfer as if originally made between Purchaser, or such applicable Affiliate of Purchaser, and the applicable Automatic Transfer Employee, and all rights, powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of Seller or its Affiliates in respect of, or in relation to, such Automatic Transfer Employees and their Employment Agreement in effect immediately prior to the relevant transfer will transfer to Purchaser or its Affiliates in accordance with the Transfer Regulations. Seller and its Subsidiaries will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with their obligations to inform and consult under the Transfer Regulations and other applicable Law in respect of such transfers. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such information within its control as Seller or its Affiliates may reasonably require in sufficient time to enable Seller and its Affiliates to meet any information and consultation obligations they may have pursuant to the Transfer Regulations or other applicable Law with or in relation to their employees or any representative of those employees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement.

(c) With respect to each Transferred Employee, for the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”), Purchaser or its Affiliates shall provide to each Transferred Employee (i) annual cash bonus opportunities, equity-based compensation and base salary or wage rates, as applicable, the amount of which is no less favorable in the aggregate than the aggregate amount provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefits that are no less beneficial in the aggregate to the benefits provided by Purchaser to similarly situated employees, without regard, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), to defined benefit pension benefits, or post-termination health and welfare benefits or retention arrangements; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.01(c) to the contrary, such compensation and benefits provided by Purchaser during the Transition Period shall be of the type and at levels sufficient to comply with applicable Law or the terms of any Labor Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contemplated by this Amended Agreement shall be construed as requiring either Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to be obligated to continue the employment or services of any Transferred Employee for any period after the applicable Transfer Date.

(d) With respect to each Transferred Employee whose employment terminates during the Transition Period, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall provide severance benefits that are no less favorable than those severance or termination benefits provided under Purchaser’s severance plan, program, policy or practice (whether contractual or otherwise) applicable to such Transferred Employee on the date of such Transferred Employee’s termination; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.01(c) to the contrary, such severance or termination benefits shall be of the type and at levels sufficient to comply with applicable Law or the terms of any Labor Contract.

(e) With respect to each Transferred Employee, effective from and after the applicable Transfer Date, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall (i) recognize for the benefit of the Transferred Employees for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting and for purposes of severance pay,, vacation and paid time off, benefit accrual, service with Seller and its Affiliates through the applicable Transfer Date under any such Purchaser Benefit Plan that that recognizes service for such purposes (or as otherwise required by applicable Law or the terms of any Labor Contract), except to the extent necessary to avoid duplication of benefits or with respect to any benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan that is not an Assumed Benefit Plan, and (ii) with respect to Purchaser Benefit Plans, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or maintained by Seller or its Affiliates for the benefit of the Transferred Employees, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition, exclusion, requirement or waiting period would have applied to such individual under the corresponding Business Benefit Plan.

(f) To the extent any Offer Employee becomes entitled to any payments payable upon a separation, termination or severance from employment prior to the Closing Date that are not incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement, then Seller shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be, solely responsible for any and all such costs. Except as otherwise required by applicable Laws, Seller and Purchaser intend that the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement should not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any Employee prior to or upon the occurrence of the Transfer Date, including for purposes of any Business Benefit Plan that provides for separation, termination or severance benefits or that requires an Employee to repay his or her employer any amounts, including sign-on bonuses, tuition reimbursements and housing differential payments, upon a termination of employment, and that each such Transferred Employee will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Transfer Date, and Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, comply with any requirements under applicable Law to ensure the same. Seller is responsible for timely providing any notice required under the WARN Act in connection with the termination of employment of any Employee that occurs on or before the Closing Date, and Seller agrees to timely provide such notice. The parties hereto do not intend the termination of Transferred Employees by Seller to be an employment loss for the purposes of the WARN Act. To the extent any separation, termination, severance or other payments are incurred with respect to Transferred Employees as described in this Section 7.01(f) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement as a result of such payments being required by applicable Laws or any Labor Contract or Employment Agreement (the “Transfer Severance”), then Seller shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be, solely responsible for any and all Transfer Severance costs, provided, however, that Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for fifty percent (50%) of the Transfer Severance costs incurred by Seller within thirty (30) days following receipt of a summary description of such costs incurred and other documentation reasonably requested by Purchaser. To the extent any separation, termination, severance or other payments are incurred with respect to Transferred Employees as described in this Section 7.01(f) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement other than as a result of such payments being required by applicable Laws or any Labor Contract or Employment Agreement, then Seller shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be, solely responsible for any and all such costs. If an Offer Employee does not receive an offer of employment

from Purchaser or one of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or does not meet the requirements of Section 7.01(a) (including the requirements of such offer as provided in Section 7.01(c)) and Seller or one of its Affiliates is obligated to pay notice, termination or severance payments or severance benefits to such Offer Employee, then Purchaser shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be, solely responsible for any and all such costs. If an Offer Employee does receive an offer of employment from Purchaser or one of its Affiliates in connection with Section 7.01(a) and if that Offer Employee either (x) does not accept the offer of employment, (y) fails to execute Purchaser’s customary assignment of inventions, work made for hire, non-disclosure, non-solicitation and/or non-competition agreements (as applicable), or (z) resigns from his or her employment prior to the Transfer Date and, in each case, such Offer Employee becomes entitled to pay notice, termination or severance payments or severance benefits, then Seller or one of its Affiliates will be solely responsible for any and all such costs.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section 6.06), Purchaser shall be, or shall cause an Affiliate to be, solely responsible, either directly or shall reimburse Seller for, all covered medical, vision, dental, prescription drug and other welfare plan expenses and claims incurred, and claims for disability income benefits made, by any Transferred Employee or his or her dependents, on or prior to the Transfer Date under any Business Benefit Plan in accordance with the terms of such Business Benefit Plan. Purchaser shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be, responsible for all covered medical, vision, dental, prescription drug and other welfare plan expenses incurred, and claims for disability income benefits made, by any Transferred Employee or his or her dependents after the Transfer Date under any Purchaser Benefit plan. Except in the event of any claim for workers’ compensation benefits, for purposes of this Amended Agreement, the following claims and liabilities shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) medical, vision, dental and/or prescription drug benefits (including hospital expenses), upon provision of the services, materials or supplies constituting any such benefits and (ii) insurance benefits, upon the death, illness, injury or accident giving rise to such benefits. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible for, or shall reimburse Seller for, all claims for U.S. workers’ compensation benefits that are incurred either (x) prior to the Transfer Date by any Transferred Employee or (y) on or prior to the Closing Date by any Business Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all claims for U.S. workers compensation benefits that are incurred on or after the Transfer Date by any Transferred Employee. A claim for U.S. workers compensation benefits shall be deemed incurred when the event giving rise to the claim occurs.

(h) Subject to local Laws, if any Employee requires a work permit, employment pass, visa or other legal or regulatory approval for his or her employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such permit, pass, visa or other approval to be obtained and in effect prior to the Transfer Date, and Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take all reasonably necessary or appropriate action at Purchaser’s expense, as reasonably requested by Purchaser, to assist in obtaining any such permit, pass, visa or other approval prior to the Transfer Date.

(i) As of the Transfer Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser and its Affiliates copies of all employment records for each Transferred Employee required to be provided to Purchaser and its Affiliates under applicable Law and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all employment records for any other Transferred Employee as reasonably requested by Purchaser, in each case, the transfer of which is not prohibited by applicable Law or subject to such Transferred Employee’s consent where required. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall ensure that all such records are used only in connection with the employment of such Transferred Employee and shall keep such employment records confidential to the extent required under applicable Law.

(j) As required by applicable Laws, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliate to, grant each Transferred Employee paid time off in an amount equal to such Transferred Employee’s accrued and unused vacation hours. Seller shall provide a reasonable estimate of each Transferred Employee’s accrued and unused vacation hours as soon as practicable after the date of the Original Agreement, and will update such estimates immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Date. If any accrued and unused vacation hours are required to be paid to the Transferred Employee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement, immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Date, Seller shall be (or shall cause its Affiliates to be) solely responsible for, and pay to each Transferred Employee, the amount of compensation with respect to the accrued and unused vacation hours that is due and owing to such Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Date.

(k) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with Purchaser and its Affiliates in respect of Purchaser’s efforts to hire at the Closing Date the Offer Employees and to retain at the Closing Date the Transferred Employees and shall take no actions to cause any individual who would be as of the date of the Original Agreement a Business Employee to be transferred to any business or function of Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the Business. Prior to the applicable Transfer Date, Purchaser may not communicate directly with any Employee or Labor Organization until Seller has first been afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed communications. Seller (or any of its Affiliates) shall neither communicate directly with any Employee nor Labor Organization regarding the terms and conditions of their employment with Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) nor make or deliver any formal written communications or oral representations to any Employee regarding Purchaser’s offers of employment or such Employees’ transfers of employment, or any other compensation or personnel matters relating to the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement, in either case, until Purchaser has first been afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such proposed communications.

(l) To the extent permitted by applicable Law or Contract, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assign to Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates the right to enforce any provisions in any agreement to which any Former Business Employee or Business Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee is bound, to the extent such provision relates primarily or exclusively to the Business, including any assignment of inventions, work made for hire, confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation provisions contained in any such agreements.

(m) For a period of time equal to the applicable statute of limitations in the relevant jurisdiction for claims that may be brought by employees plus thirty (30) days, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to provide Purchaser reasonable access, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, to all personnel files in Seller or its Affiliates’ possession relating to Transferred Employees that cannot be transferred to Purchaser under applicable Law.

Section 7.02 Assumption of Assumed Benefit Plans; Transfer of Related Assets.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date or such later date as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall or shall cause its affiliates to take all actions necessary so that all Transferred Employees shall cease participation in all Business Benefit Plans other than the Assumed Benefit Plans or the Deferred Business Benefit Plans. Notwithstanding anything in this Amended Agreement to the contrary, effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, assume all of the rights, title, interests, obligations and liabilities under each of the Assumed Benefit Plans.

(b) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one if its Affiliates to, assume sponsorship of, and shall succeed to all of the rights, title and interest (including the rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, if any, as plan sponsor, plan administrator or employer) under, each Assumed Benefit Plan, including each Transferred Pension Plan set forth on Section 1.01(n) of the Seller Disclosure Letter. The parties hereto shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate with each other, and shall cause their officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to cooperate with each other after the Closing Date in the execution of any documents, adoption of any corporate resolutions or the taking of all actions that are necessary and appropriate to effectuate such sponsorship and related transfers of Assumed Benefit Plans and related assets.

(c) Purchaser acknowledges that all Labor Contracts to which any Transferred Entity is party or by which a Transferred Entity is bound will remain in effect as of and immediately after the Closing.

TAX MATTERS

Section 8.01 Transfer Taxes. Transfer Taxes arising from the acquisition of Transferred Assets or Transferred Entities by Purchaser or a designated Affiliate of Purchaser pursuant to this Amended Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any transactions in connection with or relating to the Pre-Closing Restructuring) shall be borne one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Seller; provided, however, that (a) Seller shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates from and against, all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring and (b) Purchaser shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against, all VAT arising from the acquisition of Transferred Assets or Transferred Entities by Purchaser or a designated Affiliate of Purchaser pursuant to this Amended Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any transactions in connection with or relating to the Pre-Closing Restructuring). The party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other party, except that Seller shall prepare and file all Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring and promptly provide a copy thereof to Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate

to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes.

Section 8.02 Tax Characterization of Adjustments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat all payments made either to or for the benefit of the other following the respective Closings (including any payments made under any indemnity provisions of this Amended Agreement) as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 8.03 Straddle Periods.

For all purposes of this Amended Agreement:

(a) Except as provided in Section 8.03(b), any Taxes of or with respect to a Transferred Entity or the Transferred Assets for any Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the period commencing on the day immediately following the Closing Date, based on an interim closing of the books, as if the Closing Date were the end of a Tax period, and each such portion of such period shall be deemed to be a separate taxable period; provided, that, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(b) In the case of any real property, personal property and similar ad valorem Taxes or other periodic Taxes that are payable for a taxable period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall 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 (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period and the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period beginning immediately after the Closing Date shall 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 beginning after the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.

Section 8.04 Tax Returns.

(a) Seller shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) (i) all Tax Returns of the Transferred Entities or in respect of the Transferred Assets or the Business with respect to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”) and (ii) all Combined Tax Returns. Pre-Closing Tax Returns of the Transferred Entities shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practices of the applicable Transferred Entity, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser for its review and reasonable comment no less than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions) any Pre-Closing Tax Return with respect to a Transferred Entity (other a Combined Tax Return) that has a due date (including applicable extensions) after the Closing Date and Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable written comments that Purchaser submits to Seller no later than ten (10) days following the delivery of such Pre-Closing Tax Return to Seller such Pre-Closing Tax Return. Purchaser shall timely file (or cause to be timely filed) all such Pre-Closing Tax Returns due after the Closing Date (including applicable extensions) with respect to the Transferred Entities (other than Combined Tax Returns) and Seller shall timely file (or cause to be timely filed) all Pre-Closing Tax Returns with respect to the Transferred Assets and all Combined Tax Returns. Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid, which payment shall be satisfied if Seller pays to Purchaser the amount of Taxes due for a Tax return that Purchaser is responsible for filing

hereunder) all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns to the extent Seller is liable for such Taxes pursuant to Section 11.07.

(b) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Transferred Entities or with respect to the Business or the Transferred Assets with respect to Straddle Periods other than the Tax Returns covered in Section 8.04(a) (collectively, “Straddle Period Tax Returns”). All such Straddle Period Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practices of the applicable Transferred Entity or, in the case of the Transferred Assets, the Business, except as otherwise required by Law. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller for its review and reasonable comment no less than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions), a copy of any such Straddle Period Tax Return proposed to be filed. Purchaser shall consider in good faith any reasonable written comments to any such Straddle Period Tax Return that Seller submits to Purchaser no later than ten (10) days following the delivery of such Straddle Period Tax Return to Seller. To the extent Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 11.07 for any amount of Taxes due with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Returns, Seller shall pay Purchaser such amount at least five (5) days before such Tax Return is due.

(c) Purchaser and Seller shall act in good faith to resolve any disputes concerning any item on a Tax Return described in Sections 8.04(a) or 8.04(b). If Purchaser and Seller cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by the Accounting Arbitrator. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the relevant Tax Return is required to be filed, any such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner that the party responsible for filing such Tax Return pursuant to Section 8.04(a) or 8.04(b) deems correct, and such Tax Return shall be amended as necessary to reflect the final resolution of such dispute.

(d) Except as contemplated by this Amended Agreement (including Section 8.06), Purchaser and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) shall not, without the consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (a) amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (b) make any Tax election or change any accounting period or method with retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or that could otherwise be reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of Seller or its Affiliates with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (c) take any action to extend the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(e) The parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law, elect to treat the Closing Date as the last day of any taxable period of the Transferred Entities that includes the Closing Date; provided that no party shall be required to amend any articles of association, change any financial accounting period, or otherwise take any action other than solely for Tax purposes.

Section 8.05 Tax Refunds. Any refund or credit of Taxes (including as a result of any overpayment of Taxes in prior periods (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) and including any interest thereon) accruing to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in respect of the Transferred Entities or as a result of the ownership of the Transferred Assets or the Business (each, a “Tax Asset”) attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any such refund or credit resulting from the carryback of losses, credits or similar items of a Transferred Entity, as the case may be, attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period) shall be for the account of Seller, except to the extent such Tax Asset was taken into account in the adjustment described in Section 2.04. Purchaser shall pay and shall cause its Affiliates to pay, to Seller the amount of the Tax Asset, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such Tax Asset, within ten (10) days after such Tax Asset is received or after such Tax Asset is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates

to, execute such documents, file such Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns), take reasonable additional actions and otherwise reasonably cooperate as may be necessary for Purchaser and its Affiliates to perfect their rights in and obtain all Tax Assets for which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 8.05. None of Purchaser or its Affiliates shall surrender forfeit, fail to collect or otherwise minimize or delay any material Tax Asset to which Seller would be entitled pursuant to this Section 8.05. Except as provided in this Section 8.05, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities will be entitled to any refunds (including any interest received thereon) in respect of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax liability of the Transferred Entities or in respect of the Business received following the Closing Date.

Section 8.06 Tax Elections and Cooperation.

(a) Except with the consent of Seller, or as provided on Section 8.06 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, no elections shall be made (i) under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state or local law) with respect to the acquisition of the Transferred Equity Interests or (ii) to treat any Transferred Entity that is organized outside the United States as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner, or as a partnership (in the case of a Transferred Entity with multiple owners), for U.S. federal income tax purposes or convert any such Transferred Entity under applicable law so that it is so treated. Seller shall take all reasonable steps to cause any such scheduled election or conversion described in Section 8.06(a)(ii) to be made effective prior to the Closing Date, including by filing or by causing to be filed, a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8832 (or any successor form), which, once made, shall not be terminated or revoked without the written consent of Purchaser. Seller and the Subsidiary Transferors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver to Purchaser such documents or forms as are reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the making of any elections pursuant to this Section 8.06.

(b) Seller 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 a refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes, including making any and all joint elections reasonably requested by the other party in connection with any such Tax Return, amended return or claim for refund. Any information obtained under this Section 8.06 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 an audit or other proceeding.

(c) Within five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a revised Section 4.15(h) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, setting forth the intended jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and the U.S. federal income tax classification (e.g., corporation, partnership, disregarded entity) of each Transferred Entity as of the Closing Date.

Section 8.07 Tax Clearance Certificates. With respect to each jurisdiction set forth on Section 8.07 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, Seller shall provide such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Purchaser for the purpose of obtaining any available tax clearance certificate (“Tax Clearance Certificate”) if the failure to obtain such Tax Clearance Certificate could subject Purchaser to any Taxes of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. If, in respect to any application for a Tax Clearance Certificates made pursuant to this Section 8.07, any Governmental Authority asserts that Purchaser is liable for any Tax of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, Seller shall promptly pay any and all such amounts and shall provide evidence to Purchaser that such liabilities have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied.

(b) In the event that this Amended Agreement is validly terminated by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.01(b) or Section 10.01(c), and at the time of such termination one or more of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.01(c), Section 9.01(d), Section 9.02(c) or Section 9.02(d) (but for purposes of Section 9.01(d) and Section 9.02(d), only if each Restraint giving rise to such non-satisfaction is attributable to a Review Law) shall not have been satisfied, but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.02 have been satisfied (or, in the case of any condition that by its nature is to be satisfied at the Closing, would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur on the date of such termination), then Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Seller; provided, however, that no Regulatory Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to this Section 10.02(b) in the event that Seller has not complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 6.04 and such breach resulted in the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.01(c), Section 9.01(d), Section 9.02(c) or Section 9.02(d) (but for purposes of Section 9.01(d) and Section 9.02(d), only if each Restraint giving rise to such non-satisfaction is attributable to a Review Law) not being satisfied. Such payment shall be due within five (5) Business Days after written notice of termination by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to this Section 10.02(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Amended Agreement to the contrary, if Seller receives the Regulatory Termination Fee from Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.02(b), such payment, together with the amounts as provided in the last two sentences of Section 6.12(d) and any costs, expenses and interest payable pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 10.02(c), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and each other Seller Related Party against the Purchaser Related Parties under this Amended Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and no Purchaser Related Party shall have any further liability or obligations related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The parties acknowledge and agree that any payment of the Regulatory Termination Fee pursuant to Section 10.02 is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Amended Agreement and in reliance on this Amended Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. If Purchaser fails to promptly pay the Regulatory Termination Fee when due, and in order to obtain such payment, Seller commences an Action that results in a judgment against Purchaser for such Regulatory Termination Fee or any portion thereof, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs

103

and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of Seller in connection with such Action, together with interest on the amount of such Regulatory Termination Fee or portion thereof at the prime rate as published by Bloomberg (BGN New York), in effect as of 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

Section 10.03 Limitation; Acknowledgement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended Agreement, in no event shall Purchaser be required or obligated to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee on more than one occasion. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive (i) any monetary damages or the Regulatory Termination Fee in the event that Seller obtains a grant of specific performance of the obligation to close as contemplated by Section 12.13 and the Closing subsequently occurs or (ii) any monetary damages and the Regulatory Termination Fee; provided that, for clarity, nothing herein shall reduce, diminish or otherwise modify Seller’s indemnification rights set forth in Article XI.

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Regulatory Termination Fee and the other provisions of this Article X are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without these agreements, Seller and Purchaser would not enter into this Amended Agreement.

(b) Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 11.01(a) shall be subject to each of the following limitations:

(i) (A) With respect to indemnification under Section 11.01(a)(i), such obligation to indemnify shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date; (B) with respect to indemnification under Section 11.01(a)(ii), Section 11.01(a)(v) and Section 11.01(a)(vi), such obligation to indemnify shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in perpetuity; and (C) with respect to indemnification under Section 11.01(a)(iii), such obligation to indemnify shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date that is three (3) years from the Closing Date;

(iii) Subject to Section 11.01(b)(x), there shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 11.01(a)(i) or Section 11.01(a)(iii) unless the aggregate of all Losses for which Seller, but for this clause (iii), would be liable under Section 11.01(a)(i) and Section 11.01(a)(iii) exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “Deductible”) and then only to the extent of the excess of such Losses over the Deductible;

(iv) There shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 11.01(a)(i) or Section 11.01(a)(iii) for any claim where the Losses relating thereto are less than One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) (the “De Minimis”) (it being understood that any series of related claims shall be aggregated for purposes of this clause (b)(iv) and the immediately preceding clause (b)(iii));

(v) There shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 11.01(a)(i) or Section 11.01(a)(iii) for any amount that when aggregated with all other amounts payable as a result of indemnification under Section 11.01(a)(i) or Section 11.01(a)(iii) would be in excess of One Hundred and Forty Million Dollars ($140,000,000) (the “Cap”);

105

(vi) With respect to indemnification under Section 11.01(a)(iii) in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties contained in the first sentence of Section 4.14(c), such obligations to indemnify shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.01(b)(vi) of the Seller Disclosure Letter;

(ix) The obligations to indemnify under Section 11.01(a)(iii) with respect to any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.11, or under Section 11.01(a)(v) in respect of the matters set forth on Section 1.01(h) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (with respect to clauses (a)(i) and (c) of the definition of Retained Environmental Liabilities) (each, an “Environmental Claim”) shall not apply to any Losses resulting from or relating to (i) any environmental matter or condition that is discovered or detected by any sampling, investigation or reporting by or on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons that is not required by Environmental Laws, or (ii) any environmental investigatory, corrective or remedial action (including any Remedial Action), except to the extent such action is required by Environmental Laws and is limited to the lowest cost alternative reasonably available to allow either (A) continued operation of the Real Property in substantially the same manner it was operated at the Closing on the basis of the minimum reasonably required to comply with any settlement or resolution with any Governmental Authority and Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not materially interfere with such operations at the Real Property, or (B) closure or termination of operations at the Real Property in compliance with Environmental Laws (it being understood that closure or termination of operations does not include any disturbance of the applicable Real Property except to the extent required by applicable Law as a result of such closure or termination of operations). Taking no action shall constitute an acceptable lowest cost alternative if, after investigation, taking no action is determined to be in compliance with Environmental Laws and such inaction is not prohibited by relevant Governmental Authorities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to claim or seek indemnity with respect to any Environmental Claim under this Amended Agreement to the extent that such Environmental Claim arises out of any development, modification or change of use of any of the Real Property after the Closing to a use other than the continued operation of the Business or the continuation of the activities necessary to support the Business as it was conducted as of the Closing, where such development, modification or change results in the application of stricter cleanup standards pursuant to Environmental Laws; provided, however, that closure or termination of operations at a Real Property shall not constitute such a development, modification or change in use (it being understood that closure or termination of operations does not include any disturbance of the applicable Real Property except to the extent required by applicable Law as a result of such closure or termination of operations); and

106

(x) Notwithstanding Section 11.01(b)(iii), the Deductible shall not apply to any claim for indemnification under Section 11.01(a)(i) in respect of the representation and warranty in Section 4.07(b); provided, however, that there shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 11.01(a)(i) in respect of the representation and warranty in Section 4.07(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds an amount equal to $10,000,000, in which event the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall be entitled (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.01(b)(iv)) to make a claim for indemnification for all Losses incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Person in respect of the representation and warranty in Section 4.07(b) from the first dollar of such Losses.

(c) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them (without duplication for any indemnification that may be sought under more than one clause of this Section 11.01(c)) that result from, relate to or arise out of:

(i) any breach of any of Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Amended Agreement (other than the Purchaser Fundamental Representations) or such corresponding representations and warranties contained in any certificate delivered by Purchaser pursuant to this Amended Agreement, in each case, as of the date of the Original Agreement or as of the Closing Date (other than such representations and warranties that refer to a specified date, in which case as of such date);

(ii) any breach of any of the Purchaser Fundamental Representations or such corresponding representations and warranties contained in any certificate delivered by Purchaser pursuant to this Amended Agreement, in each case, as of the date of the Original Agreement or as of the Closing Date (other than such representations and warranties that refer to a specified date, in which case as of such date);

(iii) any breach of any of Purchaser’s agreements, obligations or covenants contained in this Amended Agreement; and

(iv) the operation of the Business from and after the Closing or the Assumed Liabilities.

provided that all matters relating to Taxes (including Taxes relating to the Pre-Closing Restructuring) shall be governed exclusively by Section 11.07.

(d) Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under Section 11.01(c) shall be subject to each of the following limitations:

(i) (A) With respect to indemnification under Section 11.01(c)(i), such obligation to indemnify shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date; (B) with respect to indemnification under Section 11.01(c)(ii), such obligation to indemnify shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; and (C) with respect to indemnification under Section 11.01(c)(iv) such obligation to indemnify shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in perpetuity;

(ii) With respect to indemnification under Section 11.01(c)(iii), such obligation to indemnify shall, (A) with respect to the underlying agreements, obligations and covenants of

107

Purchaser that require performance on or prior to the Closing, shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and with respect to the underlying agreements, obligations and covenants of Purchaser that require performance from and after the Closing, shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of such underlying agreements, obligations and covenants of Purchaser;

(iii) There shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 11.01(c)(i) unless the aggregate of all Losses for which Purchaser, but for this clause (iii), would be liable under Section 11.01(c)(i) exceeds on a cumulative basis the Deductible and then only to the extent of such excess;

(iv) There shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 11.01(c)(i) for any claim where the Losses relating thereto are less than the De Minimis (it being understood that any series of related claims shall be aggregated for purposes of this clause (d)(iv) and the immediately preceding clause (d)(iii));

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, there shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 11.01(c)(i) for any amount that when aggregated with all other amounts payable as a result of indemnification under Section 11.01(c)(i) (but for the application of this Section 11.01(d)(v)) would be in excess of the Cap;

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, there shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 11.01(c)(i)-(iii) for any amount that when aggregated with all other amounts paid as a result of indemnification under Section 11.01(c)(i)-(iii) would be in excess of the Unadjusted Purchase Price; and

(vii) For purposes of Section 11.01(c), all Losses shall be (x) reduced by (A) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to Seller or any Seller Indemnified Person with respect to such Loss, less the costs associated with recovering such proceeds and any increases in insurance premiums, (B) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually paid to Seller or any Seller Indemnified Person by any third party with respect to such Loss, and (C) an amount equal to any net reduction of income Taxes of Seller or any Seller Indemnified Person attributable to a Tax benefit actually realized in the year of such loss or the immediately succeeding two (2) taxable years as a direct result of such Loss, determined on a “with and without” basis.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.01, if a claim for indemnification is properly asserted in good faith pursuant to this Article XI prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 11.01, then the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement relating to such indemnification claim and the applicable party’s indemnification obligations with respect thereto shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the final resolution thereof. For purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder and for purposes of determining whether or not a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred, each representation and warranty contained in this Amended Agreement shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any qualifiers or exceptions as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or other similar qualifications contained in such representations and warranties or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Amended Agreement (other than the second sentence of each of Section 4.02(a) and Section 4.02(b) (Pre-Signing Financial Statements; Unaudited Annual Financial Statements; Audited Financial Statements), Section 4.03(c) (No Undisclosed Liabilities; Absence of Certain Changes or Events), Section 4.11(f) and the word “Material” in the term “Material Contracts” and the categories of “Material Contracts” in Section 4.12) shall be disregarded both for

108

purposes of (i) determining the existence or occurrence of a breach pursuant to Section 11.01(a) or Section 11.01(c) and (ii) determining the amount of Losses arising out of or resulting therefrom.

Section 11.02 Notice of Claim; Defense.

(a) If (i) any third party or Governmental Authority institutes, threatens or asserts any action that may give rise to Losses for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable for indemnification under this Article XI (a “Third-Party Claim”) or (ii) any Person entitled to indemnification under this Amended Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) shall have a claim to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), then, in case of clause (i) or (ii), the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in the case of clause (i) in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim) send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying (to the extent known) in reasonable details the nature, facts and circumstances of such claim and the amount of all related Losses (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that any failure to give such Claim Notice or to provide any such facts or amounts shall not affect the rights of the indemnified parties except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

(b) In the event of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect to retain counsel of its choice, reasonably acceptable to the relevant Indemnified Parties, to represent such Indemnified Parties in connection with such Action and shall pay the fees, charges and disbursements of such counsel. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to control the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Parties a reasonable opportunity to participate, at their own expense and through legal counsel of their choice, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (A) such Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, (B) such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party (other than in cases where the primary remedy being sought by such third party or Governmental Authority is monetary damages), (C) such Third Party Claim has or would reasonably be expected to result in Losses (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of this clause (C), any Tax excess) in excess of the maximum amount for which the Indemnifying Party is potentially liable with respect to such Third Party Claim, (D) the Indemnified Party’s counsel advises that a conflict of interest exists or would reasonably be expected to arise in the event the Indemnifying Party elects to control or defend any Third-Party Claim, (E) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend in good faith such Third Party Claim, (F) such Third-Party Claim arises out of any Release of any Hazardous Material or noncompliance with any Environmental Law at any Real Property or (G) such Third Party Claim arises out of or relates to any Intellectual Property constituting a Transferred Asset. If, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnifying Party’s outside counsel, the equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim referenced in clause (B) above can be separated from the claim for money damages without prejudicial effect (other than a de minimis prejudicial effect) on the non-monetary claims, then, with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion of such claim relating to money damages. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge a Third-Party Claim either (I) with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (II) without any Indemnified Party’s consent if such settlement, compromise or discharge (x) provides for no relief other than the

109

payment of monetary damages and such monetary damages are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, (y) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such Third-Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and (z) does not contain an admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment which would impose any injunctive or equitable relief on the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party elects not to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnified Parties and assume control of such defense within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of written notice of such Third Party Claim or if both the Indemnifying Party and any Indemnified Party are parties to or subjects of such Action and conflicts of interests exist between the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Parties shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Action and assume control of the defense of the Indemnified Parties in connection with such Action, and the fees, charges and disbursements of no more than one such counsel per jurisdiction selected by the Indemnified Parties shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. Whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party controls the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense thereof in accordance with Section 11.02(c). Under no circumstances will the Indemnifying Party have any liability in connection with any settlement of any Third-Party Claim that is entered into without its prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the books, records, personnel and properties of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the Claim Notice at no cost to the Indemnifying Party (other than for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Parties); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall take reasonable precautions so as not to jeopardize any privilege reasonably available to an Indemnified Party in respect of any of its records.

(d) In the event of a Direct Claim, within thirty (30) days of delivery of a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 12.10.

Section 11.03 No Duplication; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery (i) by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement (and for purposes of clarity there shall be no liability for a breach of any covenant where the primary purpose of such covenant is to maintain the truth or correctness of any representation or warranty or of notifying a party about any untruth or incorrectness of any representation or warranty other than what is available for the breach of such underlying representation or warranty) or (ii) to the extent such liability was already taken into account under Section 2.04.

(b) From and after the Closing and except (i) as expressly provided in Section 2.04, (ii) in the case where a party seeks to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 12.13, (iii) for claims arising out of fraud, and (iv) for claims related to or arising under the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, which shall be governed by the terms of such Ancillary Agreements, the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties in connection with any and all claims under this Amended Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty,

110

tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on strict liability, common law or any other Law) shall be as provided in this Article XI.

Section 11.04 Limitation on Set-Off.

(a) Purchaser shall not have any right to set off any unresolved indemnification claim pursuant to this Article XI against, and there shall not otherwise be any right to set off or counterclaim in the event of the non-performance of any obligation to make, (i) any payment due pursuant to Article II, (ii) any payment due under the Transition Services Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, or (iii) any payment due pursuant to Section 6.04(a) or Section 6.12(d).

(b) Seller shall not have any right to set off any unresolved indemnification claim pursuant to Article XI against, and there shall not otherwise be any right to set off or counterclaim in the event of the non-performance of any obligation to make, (i) any payment due pursuant to Section 2.04, (ii) any payment due under the Transition Services Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, or (iii) any payment due pursuant to Section 6.04(a), Section 6.12(d) or Section 10.02(c).

Section 11.05 Mitigation.

(a) Purchaser and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate with each other in good faith with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party under this Article XI, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate to the extent required by Law, whether by seeking claims against a third party, an insurer or otherwise, and to resolve any such claim or liability. Purchaser shall not have any obligation to commence any Action against any insurer or third party to mitigate or resolve any claim.

(b) No party shall be liable under this Article XI for Losses consisting of exemplary, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, remote, speculative, punitive or treble damages, lost profits or internal costs; provided, however, that this sentence shall not limit a party’s right to recover under this Article XI for any such Losses to the extent (x) in the case of exemplary or punitive damages, such Losses are actually awarded in connection with a Third-Party Claim or (y) in the case of consequential, special or indirect damages, lost profits or diminution in value, such Losses are (A) reasonably foreseeable or (B) actually awarded in connection with a Third-Party Claim.

Section 11.06 Potential Contributors. If an Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of Losses and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party based on the underlying claim or demand asserted against such Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall transfer such of its rights to proceed against such third party as are necessary to permit such Indemnifying Party to recover from such third party the amount of such payment.

Section 11.07 Tax Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Persons against and hold them harmless from any Losses arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of, except as provided in Section 11.07(b), (i) any Taxes imposed on the Business or the Transferred Entities with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including as a result of the Pre-Closing Restructuring), (ii) any Taxes that are Retained Liabilities hereunder, (iii) any Taxes imposed on a Transferred Entity (including any Taxes imposed under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) as a result of its inclusion with Seller, any

111

Subsidiary Transferor or any other Person (other than a Transferred Entity) in a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax group, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) any Taxes for which a Transferred Entity, Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser is liable as a transferee or successor or by Contract (other than Contracts that do not primarily relate to Taxes), in each case, to the extent such Taxes are attributable to the operation of the Business or ownership of the Transferred Assets prior to the Closing, (v) any Taxes attributable to any “subpart F income” (including any increase thereto under Section 965 of the Code) required to be included in income in a Post-Closing Tax Period solely to the extent such subpart F income is attributable to income or earnings of a Transferred Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (determined in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 8.03(a)), but excluding any such inclusion that is attributable to actions taken by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Closing, (vi) any Taxes attributable to any breach or violation of any of Seller’s representations set forth in Section 4.15, (vii) any German Trade Tax imposed on Xxxxx Grundstücksverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. Vermietungs KG resulting from capital gains or profits triggered by the sale of the limited partner interests by Spectrum Brands Real Estate B.V. or by any special business income (Sonderbetriebseinnahmen) or resulting from supplementary balance sheets (Ergänzungsbilanzen) of Spectrum Brands Real Estate B.V, and (viii) any German business Taxes of Spectrum Brands Real Estate B.V. in the meaning of Section 75 German Tax Code (Abgabenordnung) imposed on Purchaser, an Affiliate of Purchaser or a Transferred Entity that acquires real estate from Spectrum Brands Real Estate B.V.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Seller Indemnified Persons and hold them harmless from any Losses arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of (i) any Taxes imposed on the Transferred Assets, the Business or the Transferred Entities (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, as contemplated by Section 11.01(a)(vi)) with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent such Taxes are attributable to a breach of any representation set forth in Section 4.15(k) or Section 4.15(l) or any inaccuracy in Section 4.15(h) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (as such Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter may be revised pursuant to Section 8.06(c)), (ii) any Taxes taken into account in the adjustment described in Section 2.04, (iii) any Taxes attributable to any breach or nonperformance of Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to Article VIII, and (iv) any Transfer Taxes for which Purchaser is liable under Section 8.01, provided that this Section 11.07(b) shall not be construed as limiting any indemnity set forth in clause (v) of Section 11.07(a) and Section 11.07(b)(i) shall not be construed as limiting any indemnity set forth in clause (vii) of Section 11.07(a).

(i) Promptly after a party (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of the existence of a Tax Proceeding that may give rise to an indemnification claim under this Section 11.07 (a “Tax Controversy”) by it against the other party (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”), the Tax Indemnified Party shall notify the Tax Indemnifying Party of the Tax issue and thereafter shall promptly forward to the Tax Indemnifying Party copies of the relevant portion of any notice or other document received from any Tax Authority and communications with any Tax Authority relating to such Tax Controversy; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect such other party’s rights to indemnification under this Article XI, except to the extent that such party is actually prejudiced thereby.

(ii) After the Closing Date, Seller shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any Tax Controversy with respect to any of the Transferred Entities or the Transferred Assets with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the extent such Tax Controversy could reasonably be expected to result in any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 11.07(a), provided, however, that, except in the case of a Tax Controversy with respect to a Combined Tax Return, (A) Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such Tax Controversy at its own expense, (B) Seller shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Controversy that is reasonably

112

expected to result in material adverse tax consequences to Purchaser without obtaining Purchaser’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and (C) Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed as to the progress of any such Tax Controversy and shall consider in good faith any written comments or suggestions provided by Purchaser regarding such Tax Controversy.

(iii) To the extent that any provision in this Section 11.07(c) may overlap or conflict with any provision contained in Section 11.02, the provisions of this Section 11.07(c) shall govern.

(d) For purposes of this Section 11.07, all Losses in respect of Taxes shall be reduced by (i) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually paid to Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person by any third party with respect to such Loss, and (ii) an amount equal to any net reduction of income Taxes of Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person attributable to a Tax benefit actually realized in the year of such loss or the immediately succeeding two (2) taxable years as a direct result of such Loss.

(e) Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Section 11.07 shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days from the date of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive), and such indemnity obligations shall not be subject to any of the limitations set forth in Section 11.01(b).

(f) In no event shall the Purchaser Indemnified Persons be entitled to recover, any Loss attributable to Taxes of any of the Transferred Entities (i) for any taxable period that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent such Taxes are attributable to a breach of any representation set forth in Section 4.15(k) or Section 4.15(l) or any inaccuracy in Section 4.15(h) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (as such Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter may be revised pursuant to Section 8.06(c)), (ii) as a result of any transaction occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business, (iii) as a result of Purchaser’s financing of the transactions provided for in this Amended Agreement, (iv) to the extent such Taxes are not actually paid, or due and payable, to the relevant Governmental Authority or (v) due to the unavailability in any Post-Closing Tax Period of any net operating losses, credits or other Tax attribute from a Pre-Closing Tax Period, provided that this Section 11.07(f) shall not be construed as limiting any indemnity set forth in Section 11.07(a)(v) and Section 11.07(f)(i) shall not be construed as limiting any indemnity set forth in clause (vii) of Section 11.07(a).

Section 12.04 Headings. The headings contained in this Amended Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Amended Agreement.

Section 12.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Amended Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Amended Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not fundamentally changed. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Amended Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 12.06 Entire Agreement. This Amended Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Letter), together with the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 12.07 Assignment. Neither party may transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder, in each case, if Purchaser nonetheless remains fully responsible for the performance of their respective obligations hereunder and (b) Purchaser may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations to any Financing Source as collateral in connection with the Debt Financing and any Financing Source may exercise all of the rights and remedies of Purchaser hereunder in connection with the enforcement of any security or exercise of any remedies to the extent permitted under the Debt Financing documentation. Any transfer in violation of this Section 12.07 shall be null and void.

Section 12.08 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Amended Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Amended Agreement; provided, however, that the Financing Sources shall be third-party beneficiaries as to Section 10.02(c), Section 12.07, this Section 12.08, Section 12.09, Section 12.10, Section 12.12 and Section 12.15, each of such Sections shall expressly inure to the benefit of the Financing Sources, and the Financing Sources shall be entitle to rely on and enforce the provisions of such Sections.

Section 12.09 Amendment. This Amended Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties.

115

manner that impacts or is otherwise adverse in any respect to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

Section 12.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Amended Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any dispute arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Amended Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each party hereto (i) agrees that any claim, action or proceeding by such party seeking any relief whatsoever arising out of, relating to or in connection with, this Amended Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be brought only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) and not in any other State or Federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts located in for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of, or in connection with, this Amended Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) waives and agrees not to assert any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Action brought in such a court or any claim that any such Action brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (iv) agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 12.03 or any other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Amended Agreement, each Seller Related Party and each of the other parties hereto (including each parties’ Affiliates) (A) agrees that it will not bring or support, or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support, any Action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Financing Sources arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated by this Amended Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Debt Financing Commitment, the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto in any forum other than the state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court thereof and each Person party hereto submits for itself and its property with respect to any such Action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and (B) agrees that any such Action shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of any other State. The preceding sentence shall not limit the jurisdiction of the Accounting Arbitrator set forth in Section 2.04, although claims may be asserted in such courts described in the preceding sentence for purposes of enforcing the jurisdiction and judgments of the Accounting Arbitrator.

Section 12.11 Counterparts. This Amended Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amended Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means (including portable document format) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amended Agreement.

Section 12.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation, claim, suit or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, directly or indirectly, arising out of or relating to this Amended

116

Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Amended Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Acquisition, the Debt Financing or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including any such action, proceeding or counterclaim involving any Financing Sources). Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this Amended Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 12.12.

Section 12.13 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Amended Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that any breach of this Amended Agreement could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. The parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Amended Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, the parties shall be entitled to obtain an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Amended Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court as specified in Section 12.10, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any the other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. No Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Amended Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Amended Agreement shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction.

Section 12.14 No Presumption. The parties to this Amended Agreement agree that this Amended Agreement was negotiated fairly between them at arms’ length and that the final terms of this Amended Agreement are the product of the parties’ negotiations. Each party represents and warrants that it has sought and received legal counsel of its own choosing with regard to the contents of this Amended Agreement and the rights and obligations affected hereby. The parties agree that this Amended Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafted by them, and that the provisions of this Amended Agreement therefore should not be construed against a party or parties on the grounds that the party or parties drafted or was more responsible for drafting the provisions.

Section 12.15 Waiver of Claims Against the Financing Sources. None of the Financing Sources will have any liability to the Business or its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Amended Agreement, the Debt Financing or otherwise, whether at law, or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and neither the Business nor any of its Affiliates will have any rights or claims against any of the Financing Sources hereunder or thereunder.
