unmatured or whether arising prior to or after the Closing (collectively, the “Assumed
Liabilities”) pursuant to an Assumption Agreement in the form attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit A (the “Assumption Agreement”); provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall require the Purchaser to pay or discharge any liabilities or obligations expressly assumed
hereunder so long as the Purchaser shall in good faith contest or cause to be contested the amount
or validity thereof; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, as between Purchaser
and Seller, Purchaser shall pay or discharge when due the amount of any such liabilities or
obligations, or portion thereof, (i) that are not being contested in good faith, (ii) that are
reimbursable pursuant to Section 7.5, (iii) which are found by a court or Governmental

(which claims include, without limitation, those claims listed on Schedule 4.12 of
the Disclosure Schedules) and any self-insured retentions and deductibles related to the
Existing Policies; provided, however, that to the extent that such assumption would result
in a claim or liability that would otherwise be covered under the Existing Policies to no
longer be covered under such Existing Policies, then such claim or liability shall not be
assumed by the Purchaser, Continental or Mattituck and instead the Purchaser, Continental
and Mattituck shall, jointly and severally, promptly reimburse the Seller for any amounts
actually paid (provided such payments were made with Purchaser’s written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) by
11
the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates related to such claim or liability;
provided further, that the Purchaser, Continental and Mattituck shall conduct activities

manner as if such claim or liability had been assumed by the Purchaser, Continental and
Mattituck.

(b) At the Closing, the Purchaser and Continental will assume and become responsible for, and
will thereafter pay, perform and discharge when due, all of the liabilities and obligations arising
from or related to the Purchased Assets pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement for
Intellectual Property in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C (the “Assignment
Agreement”); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall require the Purchaser to pay or
discharge any liabilities or obligations expressly assumed hereunder so long as the Purchaser shall
in good faith contest or cause to be contested the amount or validity thereof; provided, further,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, as between Purchaser and Seller, Purchaser shall pay or
discharge when due the amount of any such liabilities or obligations, or portion thereof, (i) that

Purchaser and the other undertakings of the Seller hereunder, the Purchaser shall (i) pay the sum
of One Hundred Eighty Six Million US Dollars ($186,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”) to the Seller
and (ii) shall assume the Assumed Liabilities on the terms, and subject to the conditions,
contained in this Agreement. The Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the Closing shall be
adjusted pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 3.3(a).
(b) The Purchaser shall pay to the Seller within thirty (30) days after the Closing, the
amount of any Cash on hand in Continental and Mattituck as of the effective time of the Closing,
including the Required Cash.
2.5. Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) The Purchase Price will be subject to adjustment upward or downward, as the case may be,
in the amount of the difference, if any, between (i) $30,591,000.00 (the “Reference Net Working
Capital”), and (ii) the Closing Net Working Capital. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Closing
Net Working Capital” shall mean the difference between (A) current assets of the Business (except
cash and cash equivalents, Intercompany Receivables and LIFO reserves) and (B) current liabilities
of the Business (except Intercompany Payables, aircraft product liability reserves, recall
reserves, customer deposits and outstanding checks), in each case calculated without regard to
materiality.
(i) Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement. On or before the fifth
(5th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the
Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement”) setting forth
its good faith estimate of the Closing Net Working Capital, containing the same line items
and calculated in the same manner as Schedule 2.5 and consistent with the historical
accounting practices of the Seller (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”). The
parties shall use such Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement to determine the
Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3(a).
(ii) Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement. As soon as reasonably
practicable, but in no event later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the
Closing, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement containing the
same line items and calculated in the same manner as Schedule 2.5 and consistent
with the historical accounting practices of the Seller, setting forth its good faith
calculation of Closing Net Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Net Working Capital
Statement”).
(b) Examination and Review.
(i) Examination. After receipt of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital
Statement, the Seller shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the
Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, the Seller, its
representatives and accountants shall have full access to the Books and Records, the
personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s representatives
and accountants to the extent that they relate to the Post-Closing Net
13
Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information relating to the
Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement as the Seller may reasonably request for the
purpose of reviewing the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and preparing a
Statement of Objections (defined below).
(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller
may object to the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement by delivering to the Purchaser
a written statement setting forth the Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating
each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Seller’s disagreement therewith (the
“Statement of Objections”). To the extent that the Seller fails to deliver the Statement of
Objections with respect to the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement on or prior to the
last day of the Review Period, the Closing Net Working Capital reflected in the Post-Closing
Net Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller. If the
Seller delivers the Statement of Objections on or prior to the last day of the Review
Period, the Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such
objections within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the
“Working Capital Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Working
Capital Resolution Period, the Closing Net Working Capital with such changes as may have
been previously agreed in writing by the Purchaser and the Seller, shall be final and
binding on the Purchaser and the Seller.
(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If the Seller and the Purchaser fail to reach an
agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before
expiration of the Working Capital Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute
(“Disputed Amounts”) may be submitted for resolution to KPMG LLP or, if KPMG LLP is unable
to serve, the Purchaser and the Seller shall appoint by mutual agreement an impartial
internationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than the
Accountants (KPMG LLP or such other firm of independent certified public accountants, the
“Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the
Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Net Working Capital
Statement, which adjustments shall be final and binding on the Purchaser and the Seller.
The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the
parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values
assigned to each such item in the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the
Statement of Objections, respectively.
(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. Seller and Purchaser shall each
bear, and be responsible for, their own costs and expenses incurred by each of them
(including any fees and expenses of their respective accounting firms) in connection with
the preparation and review of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement. If the
Independent Accountants are engaged, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants
shall be allocated in proportion to the extent either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may
be, did not prevail on dollar amount of items in dispute with respect to the Post-Closing
Net Working Capital Statement; provided that, such fees and expenses shall not include, so
long as such non-prevailing party complies with the procedures of this Section 2.5,
the other party’s outside counsel or accounting fees.
14
(v) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants
shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other
time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their
resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Post-Closing Net Working
Capital Statement, in each case in accordance with this Section 2.5, shall be
conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.
(c) Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment. The post-Closing Net Working Capital
adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Net Working Capital set forth on the
Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement minus the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital
(the “Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Net Working Capital
Adjustment is a positive number greater than $100,000, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an
amount equal to the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Net Working
Capital is a negative number less than -$100,000, the Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal
to the absolute value of the amount of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment. For the
avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment is greater than
-$100,000 and less than $100,000, no adjustment to the Purchase Price will be made.
(d) Payments of Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment. Except as otherwise
provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment shall (A) be due
(i) within five (5) Business Days of agreement or acceptance of the Closing Net Working Capital
Statement pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(ii) or (ii) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within
five (5) Business Days of the resolution of such Disputed Amounts in accordance with Section
2.5(b)(iii) above and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds
to such account as directed by the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be.

amounts paid or owing to any Employee, independent contractor, creditor or other party. Neither

897(c)(1)(A)(ii).
4.8. Contracts.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b), nothing herein shall

Intercompany Payables (except for Intercompany Receivables and Intercompany Payables under any
captive insurance company policies insuring either or both of the Companies) immediately prior to

parties agree to treat, for all federal Tax purposes, the repayment, collection or extinguishment
of any such (a) Intercompany Receivables as dividends to the Seller and (b) Intercompany Payables
as contributions of capital by the Seller.
6.5. Access. The Seller will, and it will cause Continental and Mattituck to, permit
representatives of the Purchaser to have access at reasonable times to the Business and the
Purchaser agrees that it will use all commercially reasonable efforts to schedule its review of
such items at such times which are not disruptive to the operations of the Business. Prior to the
Closing Date, the Purchaser will be permitted to complete, at the sole cost and expense of the
Purchaser, a Phase I environmental study of the Leased Real Property; provided, however, that no
such Phase I or other environmental review by the Purchaser will involve sampling, Phase II testing
or invasive investigatory work without prior written consent of the Seller. The Purchaser will
deliver to the Seller a copy of any Phase I or other third party report generated by any permitted
environmental investigation. The Purchaser will treat any review, including any environmental
review of the Leased Real Property, as confidential information.
6.6. Notification of Certain Matters.
(a) Each party will give prompt written notice to the other in writing of (i) any fact,
change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is
33
aware that will or is reasonably likely (A) render untrue any representation or warranty of
such party contained in this Agreement or (B) to result in any of the conditions set forth in
either Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 of this Agreement becoming incapable of being
satisfied, (ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) any Actions or Proceedings (or communications

on the date of this Agreement would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.12 or
Section 5.4 of this Agreement or (iv) any notice or other communication from any third
party alleging that the consent of such party is required in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the receipt of any such notice shall not be deemed to
cure any breach of this Agreement or non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise
limit the rights of the parties hereto.
(b) The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser prior to the Closing Date a written update or
supplement to the Disclosure Schedules reflecting events occurring and contracts and agreements
from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date.
(i) To the extent that such updated or supplemental Disclosure Schedules reflect
matters or events which have occurred after the date of this Agreement, which do not
constitute a violation of any of Seller’s covenants set forth in Section 6 and which
would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in the aggregate of $2 million or less,
then the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be amended as of the Closing Date to
include the information set forth on such updated or supplemental Disclosure Schedules.
(ii) To the extent that such updated or supplemental Disclosure Schedules reflect
matters or events which have occurred after the date of this Agreement and which would
reasonably be expected to result in Losses in the aggregate of $10 million or more, then (i)
the parties will negotiate in good faith during the five (5)-day period immediately after
delivery of the update or supplemental Disclosure Schedules to determine the consequences of
such disclosures, (ii) the Disclosure Schedules will be amended only to the extent that the
parties mutually agree as a result of such negotiation and (iii) the Purchaser may elect to
terminate this Agreement after the expiration of such five (5)-day period, in which event
the Seller and the Purchaser will have no liability to the other as a result of such
termination.
(iii) To the extent that such updated or supplemental Disclosure Schedules reflect
matters or events which have occurred after the date of this Agreement which do not arise in
the ordinary course of business of the Business and would reasonably be expected to result
in Losses in the aggregate in excess of $2 million but less than $10 million, then (i) the
parties will negotiate in good faith during the five (5)-day period immediately after
delivery of the updated or supplemental Disclosure Schedules to determine the consequences
of such disclosures, (ii) use commercially reasonable and good faith efforts to negotiate
and mutually agree upon a reduction to the Purchase Price, if any; provided that, any such
reduction to the Purchase Price shall not exceed $3.6 million in the aggregate, and (iii)
upon such agreement, (A) the Disclosure Schedules
34
shall be deemed to be amended as of the Closing Date to include the information set
forth on such updated or supplemented Disclosure Schedule and (B) the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties shall have waived any right to indemnification pursuant to Section 10 or
recover any Losses from the Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates, arising from or relating
to the matters reflected in such updated or supplemental Disclosure Schedules.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dollar thresholds referenced in this
Section 6.6(b) shall be solely for use in this Section 6.6(b) and shall not
be utilized to determine material, materiality or whether a material adverse impact or
Material Adverse Effect has occurred for purposes of other sections of this Agreement.
6.7. Compliance with FAA Regulations. Purchaser shall, as soon as practical following
the date hereof but in any event within sixty (60) days following the date hereof, notify the
Federal Aviation Administration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
necessity to effectuate name changes with respect to any type certificates, amended and/or
supplemental type certificates, parts manufacturer approval, production certificates, repair
station certificates and any other applicable certificates or approvals held by either Company as
of the Closing. The Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser in making such notification and
effectuating such name changes as contemplated by this Section 6.6(b)(i) and shall provide
the Purchaser with all information reasonably requested by the Purchaser relating thereto, and the
Purchaser shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Seller, Continental and Mattituck
reasonably incurred in connection with such cooperation.
6.8. Transfer of Turbine Engine Cell Business. Prior to Closing, to the extent not
previously done, the Seller will cause Continental to transfer, assign, and/or relocate all assets
and materials that comprise and constitute the Turbine Engine Cell Business from Continental’s
Mobile, Alabama Facilities to a newly designated location or locations (the “Turbine Engine
Business Transfer”).
Section 7 Post-Closing Covenants. The parties agree as follows with respect
to the period following the Closing Date:
7.1. General. In case at any time after the Closing Date any further action is
necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties will take
such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and
documents) as the other party reasonably may request, at the sole cost and expense of the
requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under
Section 10 of this Agreement).
7.2. Post-Closing Consents; Nonassignable Contracts. The Seller will use its
commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing Date to obtain, and to cause Continental and
Mattituck to obtain, all third party approvals, consents, novations and waivers that are not
obtained prior to the Closing Date and that are required in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Seller will not be obligated hereunder to pay any
consideration to the third party from whom such approval, consent, novation or waiver is required.
The Purchaser hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Seller in
its efforts to obtain such third party approvals, consents, novations and waivers and
35
where necessary will give or procure the giving of security to obtain such third party
approval, consent, novation or waiver.
7.3. Litigation Support; Tax Return Preparation; Records Retention; Transitional
Services.
(a) In the event and for so long as any party is actively investigating, contesting, defending
against or prosecuting any charge, complaint, action, suit, contract appeal, proceeding, hearing,
investigation, claim, demand or audit (including routine audits and contract close-outs) in
connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact,
circumstance, condition, activity, practice, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction
on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Business, the other party will cooperate reasonably
with the contesting or defending party, its insurers and counsel in the contest or defense, make
available its personnel and provide such testimony and access to its books, records and equipment
as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense.
(b) The Seller and the Purchaser will each provide the other party with such assistance as may
reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, audit or other
examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability
for Taxes and will provide to the other party all records and other information which may be
relevant to any such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination and with any
final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any
amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other party for any period.
(c) The Seller shall include the income of Continental and Mattituck on its consolidated
federal income Tax Returns for all taxable periods through the end of the Closing Date. The Seller
shall pay all Taxes in connection with such Tax Returns. The Purchaser shall timely furnish Tax
information to the Seller with respect to each of Continental and Mattituck in accordance with past
custom and practice and as requested by the Seller for the preparation of its consolidated Tax
Returns to be prepared by the Seller pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Seller will prepare
and file all state and local Tax Returns that it is required to file with respect to Continental
and Mattituck on the basis of the Tax year ending as of the Closing Date. The Seller shall be
responsible for and shall timely pay all Pre-Closing Taxes. The Purchaser shall be responsible for
and shall timely pay all Post-Closing Taxes.
(d) The Purchaser will be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns that
it is required to file with respect to Continental and Mattituck attributable to taxable periods
(or portions thereof) commencing after the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be true, complete
and correct in all material respects. The Purchaser will make all payments of Taxes shown to be
due on such Tax Returns.
(e) The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax
Returns for the Company for any taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date
(“Straddle Period”) in accordance with applicable Law. The Seller shall pay to the Purchaser
within twenty (20) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to a
36
Straddle Period an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes that relates to Pre-Closing Tax
Period to the extent such Taxes were not paid prior to Closing, were not paid by the Seller after
Closing, and are not accrued on the Closing Statement. For purposes of this Section
7.3(e), in case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a
Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in
the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount that
would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of
any Taxes other than Taxes described in (i) above, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the
entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the
taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the
entire taxable period. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations
shall be made in a manner consistent with prior custom and practice of the Seller, Continental and
Mattituck.
(f) Other than with respect to Taxes paid by Purchaser for which the Seller has not
indemnified the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, any Tax refunds that are received by the
Purchaser or any of Continental or Mattituck, and any amounts credited against Tax to which the
Purchaser or any of Continental or Mattituck becomes entitled, that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax
Period shall be for the account of the Seller, and the Purchaser shall pay over to the Seller any
such refund or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement
thereto, net of the Tax and other costs incurred in connection therewith.
(g) The Purchaser will provide reasonable assistance to the Seller in connection with any Tax
audits or other administrative or judicial proceedings involving the Business and affecting such
income Tax Returns or declarations for any period all or any portion of which is prior to the
Closing Date, including the participation of the then current personnel of the Purchaser in such
audits and proceedings. The Purchaser will not, without the prior written consent of the Seller,
or except as required by Law, initiate any contract or voluntarily enter into any agreements with,
or volunteer any information to, any taxing authorities with regard to specific items on such Tax
Returns or declarations.
(h) The Purchaser will, and will cause the Companies to, maintain all original books, records,
files, documents, papers and agreements pertaining to Companies, the Purchased Assets, the Stock,
the Assumed Liabilities or otherwise relating to the Business as conducted before the Closing Date
for at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date or such longer period as may be required by
Law. The Purchaser agrees that before it or the Companies destroy or discard any materials
required to be retained pursuant to this Section 7.3(a), it will notify the Seller in
writing and the Seller may, at its sole cost and expense, remove or make copies of such materials
within sixty (60) days following the date of such written notice. In the event the other party has
not removed such materials or otherwise responded within such sixty (60)-day period, such other
party shall be deemed to have consented to such destruction or other disposal and the Purchaser or
the Companies, as the case may be, may proceed with such action without any liability to the
Seller.
(i) After the Closing Date the Purchaser will provide reasonable services, assistance and
cooperation to the Seller in connection with:
37
(i) the completion and delivery of the financial statements and the general ledger of
the Business as of the Closing Date to the Seller;
(ii) the preparation of quarterly, semi-annual and annual reports required to be
prepared by the Seller (either by Law or in accordance with the Seller’s internal reporting
systems and procedures) in connection with the operation of the Business prior to the
Closing Date and with the transactions provided for herein;
(iii) the preparation of audit information packages required to be prepared by the
Seller (either by Law or in accordance with the Seller’s internal reporting systems and
procedures) in connection with the operation of the Business prior to the Closing Date, the
transactions provided for in this Agreement and the Seller’s year-end financial audit; and
(iv) such other services as the Seller may reasonably request incidental to the orderly
transfer of the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Stock to the Purchaser and the
assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by the Purchaser.
(j) If a request is made by a party pursuant to this Section 7.3, the requesting party
shall reimburse the other party for all reasonable expenses, including any reasonable personnel
expenses, incurred to comply with such request.
(k) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Seller for any additional tax owed by Seller
(including tax owed by Seller due to this indemnification payment) resulting from any transaction
engaged by Continental or Mattituck not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing
Date after Purchaser’s purchase of the stock of Continental and Mattituck other than any Section
338(h)(10) Election. The Purchaser and the Seller agree to report all transactions not in the
ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after the Purchaser’s purchase of the
stock of Continental and Mattituck on the Purchaser’s or the acquired company’s federal Income Tax
Return to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation §1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B).
7.4. Use of Trademarks; Signage and Labels.
(a) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event more than one hundred and
twenty (120) days thereafter, the names utilized in the Business, including in connection with the
names of Continental and Mattituck, shall be changed to names that do not include any “Teledyne”
and “Teledyne Technologies” marks, including any Teledyne Marks, and the Purchaser shall not use,
and shall cause Continental and Mattituck not to use, the Teledyne Marks (including in any domain
names) other than for purposes of describing the historical relationship of Continental and
Mattituck with the Seller and its Affiliates. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the
Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause Continental and Mattituck to deliver to the Seller evidence
that ownership of any and all domain name registrations owned by the Continental and Mattituck that
contain any Teledyne Xxxx has been transferred to the Seller, including duly executed copies of all
instruments of transfer and other
38
documents required to be filed with the applicable registrar and acknowledgment of receipt of
such filings by the registrar.
(b) The Purchaser will, and will cause the Companies to, remove the Teledyne Marks from all
exterior signs located at the Leased Real Property as soon as practicable but in any event within
one year after the Closing Date. The Companies may use the Teledyne Marks on finished goods and
inventory but will change or otherwise replace the stamps and dies bearing the Teledyne Marks as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within one year of the
Closing Date.
(c) The Seller shall, with respect to each trademark licensed by Seller to Continental that
are listed on Schedule 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedules and do not comprise the Purchased
Assets, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request from the Purchaser (i) surrender
the applicable certificate of registration to the United States Patent and Trademark Office or
other equivalent process of the applicable jurisdiction or (ii) if not so registered, expressly
withdraw or abandon any related application for registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained herein shall require Seller to pay any filing or maintenance fees or take any
other action to prevent such trademarks from lapsing, expiring or becoming abandoned.
(d) With respect to each trademark licensed by Seller to Continental that are listed on
Schedule 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedules and do not comprise the Purchased Assets,
Continental may, in its discretion, use or apply for registrations of trademarks substantially
identical to such marks provided that such marks are amended to remove any name or symbol related
to any Teledyne Xxxx.
7.5. Aircraft Product Liability Insurance.
(a) Seller shall maintain in full force and effect and not modify to the detriment of the
Companies or the Business, all aviation-related insurance policies of the Seller covering the
Business as of the date hereof (the “Current Year Policies”) until their current expiration dates
of May 31, 2011. Purchaser shall be responsible for, indemnify against and reimburse the Seller
for, the pro-rata portion of any and all obligations with respect to the Current Year Policies,
including, without limitation, the payment of premiums attributable to periods following the
Closing. As promptly as practical in connection with the Closing, Seller shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause Purchaser to be named as an additional insured under the
Current Year Policies; provided that, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any out-of-pocket costs
associated therewith.
(b) (i) For a period of two (2) years from and after the expiration of the Current Year
Policies, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause Continental and Mattituck to, obtain and maintain
aircraft product liability insurance policies with insurance companies that have a current A.M Best
rating of not less than “A-” or S&P “BBB” and (ii) for a period of three (3) years after such
two-year period, the Purchaser shall maintain aircraft product liability insurance policies with
insurance companies that have a current A.M Best rating of not less than “A-” or S&P “BBB”;
provided, however, that if the annual premiums for any such coverage and amount of insurance would
exceed 110% of the current annual rate, Purchaser, Continental and Mattituck shall only
39
be obligated to obtain and maintain the maximum aggregate coverage which shall then be
available at an annual premium equal to 110% of such rate. Such insurance policies shall designate
the Seller and each of their respective Affiliates as additional insureds. The Purchaser shall be
responsible for any and all obligations with respect to such product liability insurance,
including, without limitation, the payment of premiums, retentions (including self insured
retentions) and deductibles and all aspects of claims administration. The limits of liability,
deductibles or retentions (including self-insured retentions) of such product liability insurance
policies shall be similar in all material respects to the limits of liability, deductibles or
retentions (including self insured retentions) maintained by the Seller on the date hereof. For
clarity, any aircraft product liability insurance policies maintained by the Seller or the Seller’s
Affiliates prior to the Closing shall not constitute the policies required to be obtained and
maintained by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.5. In addition to the foregoing,
Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist (and with respect to periods before the
Closing cause the Companies to assist) Purchaser to obtain or replace insurance with respect to the
Business; provided that, Purchaser shall reimburse the Buyer (and the Companies with respect to
periods before the Closing) for any out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith.
(c) The Seller shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Purchaser in order to afford the
Purchaser the benefits of policy coverage, after the Closing, under any aviation-related insurance
policies of the Seller covering the Business prior to the Closing, including any Current Year
Policies (the “Existing Policies”) with respect to any claim or loss covered by such policies that
relates to the Business prior to the Closing Date, including without limitation claims currently
being processed under such insurance policies. The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller of
the occurrence of any events that might form the basis of such an insurance claim and the amount of
such claim, and shall have the right to tender claims under the Existing Policies. Any such rights
of the Purchaser to receive the benefits of policy coverage on any such insurance claim shall be
subject to any deductibles, self-insured retentions, retained amounts, retentions or exclusions,
including those deductibles and retentions set forth on the Financial Statements and to the other
terms of the applicable insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing, in no
event shall the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates (i) have any obligation to pursue an
insurer under any of the policies of the Seller on behalf of any of Purchaser, Continental or
Mattituck or (ii) have any liability to any of the Purchaser, Continental or Mattituck as a result
of the refusal by an insurer under any of the policies of Seller to reimburse or pay any of
Purchaser, Continental or Mattituck with respect to any claim submitted by any of the Purchaser,
Continental or Mattituck; provided, however, that at Purchaser’s reasonable request, Seller shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in the pursuit of any insurer of Seller or
Seller’s Affiliates, except to the extent pursuit of such insurer is to the detriment of Seller or
Seller’s Affiliates with respect to their insurance. Seller will take no action whatsoever to
limit, terminate (other than an expiration in accordance with its terms) or modify any Existing
Policy. In no event shall the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates have any liability or
obligation to the Purchaser, Continental or Mattituck in the event that any Existing Policy shall
be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Losses for any reason whatsoever (other than due to a
breach by Seller of the covenant set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) or shall not be
renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date. In the event that any Losses exceed the
policy limit of liability of any Existing Policy and the Seller pays for any such
40
Losses, then any insurance proceeds received therefor shall be first allocated to reimburse
for the amount of any Losses suffered by the Seller.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy or
insurance or as a contract of insurance nor shall be construed to waive any right or remedy of the
Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates with respect to the Existing Policies. To the extent that
the lead underwriter of an Existing Policy or a court of competent jurisdiction deems or determines
that an assignment of any rights under an Existing Policy has occurred where such assignment is
precluded by the terms of such insurance policy, the Seller shall be responsible for paying any
deductible, retentions or other self-insurance obligation and the Purchaser shall promptly
reimburse the Seller for such amounts and any other Losses incurred by the Seller or the Seller’s
Affiliates in connection with such payments.
(e) The Purchaser (or Continental or Mattituck, as the case may be) shall be responsible for
all aspects of claims administration with respect to any Losses related to the Business and covered
by the Existing Policies, regardless of whether the Seller is entitled to indemnification for such
Losses pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall, and as of and after
the Closing shall cause each of Continental and Mattituck to, at their sole expense, defend,
resolve and administer any one or more or all claims with respect to any Losses covered in whole,
or in part, by the Existing Policies, including without limitation, the reporting of claims to the
issuers of such Existing Policies, as well as the management, defense and settlement of such claims
and, subject to any applicable rules of discovery and except to the extent disclosure of such
information would adversely affect attorney-client privilege, at Seller’s request, the Purchaser
shall, and shall cause Continental and Mattituck to, at Buyer’s expense, provide the Seller with
any and all information concerning, and permit the Seller to monitor, the foregoing management,
defense, settlement and insurance handling of such claims. To the extent that the Purchaser (or
Continental or Mattituck, as the case may be) is precluded by either the lead underwriter or a
court of competent jurisdiction from administering any claims as set forth in this Section
7.5(e), the Seller shall afford reasonable cooperation to the Purchaser in administering such
claims; provided, however, that Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller for any and all
Losses incurred by the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates in connection with such claims
administration, to the extent such claims administration (including all costs associated with such
claims) has been expressly authorized by Purchaser in writing (such authorization not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except with the express written consent of the
Seller, neither the Purchaser nor, as of and after the Closing Date, Continental and Mattituck,
shall provide an issuer of such Existing Policies with a release, nor shall they amend, modify, or
waive any rights under such Existing Policies, if such release, amendment, modification or waiver
would adversely affect rights or potential rights of the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any claims covered by Existing Policies that relate
to the Business prior to the Closing and wherein Seller is a named party or damages are otherwise
sought from the Seller, neither the Purchaser, Continental, Mattituck, nor their respective
Affiliates shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not
include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Seller from
liability thereto, without first obtaining the written consent of the Seller, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
41
(f) The Purchaser does hereby agree that neither the Seller nor any of the Seller’s Affiliates
shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of the
Seller and its Affiliates as in effect at any time prior to the Closing, including as a result of
the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms
and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier
with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.
7.6. Section 338(h)(10) Election.
(a) The Seller shall join with the Purchaser in making a joint election under Code Section
338(h)(10) (and any corresponding election under applicable state or local Law) to treat as an
acquisition of assets for Tax purposes the purchase and sale of Continental and Mattituck to the
extent that Purchaser decides to make any such election (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). The
Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate fully with each other in the making of such elections. At
the Closing, and at any such later time reasonably requested by Purchaser, the Seller shall deliver
to the Purchaser a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 and any corresponding forms
identified and prepared by the Purchaser under applicable state or local Law with respect to each
such election, and in each case such form shall or shall not be filed, after Seller’s review and
approval, as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion. The Purchaser shall provide the
Seller with notice of the filing of each such election no later than ten (10) days after the filing
of each such election, and such notice shall provide the Seller with a complete list of each
Section 338(h)(10) Election (or similar election ) made, the entity for which made and the
jurisdiction in which made. The Purchaser and the Seller agree that the Purchase Price and the
liabilities of Continental and Mattituck (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the
assets of the Business for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) in a manner
consistent with the fair market values set forth in the statement of allocation to be agreed upon
by the Purchaser and the Seller within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. In
the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree as to the allocation of the Purchase Price
to the assets of the Business in accordance with the foregoing, the Purchaser and Seller shall
retain KPMG LLP to resolve such disagreement. KPMG LLP’s resolution shall be binding on both
parties for all purposes and its fees shall be borne equally by Purchaser and the Seller. The
Purchaser and the Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for
refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such allocation.
(b) In the absence of a Section 338(h)(10) Election, the Purchaser and the Seller hereby agree
that Exhibit D attached to this Agreement reflects the allocation of the Purchase Price to
the Stock and Purchased Assets and that such allocation shall be used by the Purchaser and the
Seller in preparing their respective Tax Returns and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall
dispute such allocation in connection with any audit or other proceeding.
7.7. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.
(a) For a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the
certificates of incorporation and bylaws of each of Continental and Mattituck to contain the
provisions with respect to indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in the
certificates of incorporation and bylaws of each of Continental and Mattituck, as applicable, as
42
amended, restated and in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be
amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights
thereunder of the individuals who at any time prior to the Closing Date were directors or officers
of Continental and Mattituck (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), unless such modification is required
by Law.
(b) This Section 7.7 is intended to benefit the D&O Indemnified Parties, and shall be
binding on all successors and assigns of the Purchaser, Continental and Mattituck.
7.8. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.
(a) Absent the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Seller agrees that it shall not for
a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, through its subsidiaries,
the Seller’s Affiliates or otherwise, engage or participate or plan or prepare to engage or
participate in any Continental Comparable Business in the Restricted Territory (the “Seller
Covenant Not to Compete”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 7.8, the Seller Covenant Not to Compete shall not restrict or limit the Seller
from acquiring or holding an interest of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding equity
securities of any Continental Comparative Business whose equity securities are listed on a national
securities exchange, quoted on NASDAQ, national or capital markets or traded in the
over-the-counter bulletin board. For purposes of this Section 7.8, the term “Continental
Comparable Business” means the business of designing, developing and manufacturing piston engines
and ignition systems for the general aviation aircraft marketplace, providing piston spare parts
and piston engine rebuilding services to the general aviation aircraft marketplace and developing
and manufacturing electronic piston engine controls for the general aviation aircraft marketplace;
it being expressly understood and agreed that such term does not include the business, in whole or
in part, of designing, developing, manufacturing, selling, distributing or servicing turbine
engines or battery products, or components thereof, for aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles or
unmanned aerospace vehicles. Absent the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Seller further
agrees that, for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, it shall not, directly or
indirectly, through its subsidiaries, the Seller’s Affiliates or otherwise, solicit for employment
or hire any employee of the Companies, except that the Seller shall not be precluded from hiring
any such employee who responds to any broadly disseminated public advertisement for a general
solicitation of employment (including the use of professional executive search firms) not targeted
at employees of the Companies and any employee who contacts the Seller on his or her own initiative
without any direct or indirect solicitation from the Seller.
(b) The Purchaser and the Seller agree that the duration and area for which the Seller
Covenant Not to Compete set forth in this Section 7.8 to be effective is reasonable. In
the event that any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the time period or the area or
both are unreasonable and such covenant is to that extent unenforceable, the Purchaser and the
Seller agree that the covenants shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period
and in the greatest area that would not render it unenforceable. The Purchaser and the Seller
agree that damages are an inadequate remedy for any breach of this covenant and that the Purchaser
shall, whether or not it is pursuing any potential remedies at Law, be entitled to equitable relief
in the
43
form of preliminary and permanent injunctions without bond or other security upon any actual
or threatened breach of this covenant. No waiver of any breach of the foregoing covenant shall be
implied from the forbearance or failure of the Purchaser to take action thereon. The Seller
acknowledges and agrees that the sale of the Business contemplated hereby includes the sale of
goodwill and the consideration to be paid pursuant to this Agreement for the Seller Covenant Not to
Compete is adequate.
(c) As used above, the term “Restricted Territory” mean with respect to the Seller Covenant
Not to Compete, any country where Continental and Mattituck conducted its respective business as of
the Closing, including but not limited to those countries comprising North America.
7.9. Continued Operation of the Business. For a period of at least five (5) years
from the Closing Date, the Purchaser Guarantor shall cause Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to: (1)
remain in existence and in good standing; (2) continue to operate the Business at and from the
Continental’s facility located in Mobile, Alabama; and (3) maintain, and cause Continental to
maintain, a dedicated claims management and accident investigation process, staffed with
appropriate personnel (in Purchaser’s sole judgment), in substantially the same manner as the
claims management and accident investigation process utilized by the Seller and Continental prior
to the date hereof.
7.10. Release of Seller Guarantees. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall
assume, terminate or cause to be terminated any guarantees entered into by Seller in favor of any
third party guaranteeing or assuring such third party of the payment of any actual or potential
liability of, or the performance of any actual or potential obligation of, Continental, Mattituck
or the Business (the “Seller Guarantees”).
Section 8 Employee Matters.
8.1. Employee Benefits.
(a) The Purchaser shall cause each of Continental and Mattituck to continue to offer
employment effective as of the Closing Date to all employees of Continental and Mattituck, who are
actively employed on a full-time basis in connection with the Business on the Closing Date,
including those employees who are on temporary leave for purposes of jury duty, vacation, annual
military duty, disability, workers’ compensation or sick leave (the “Employees”).
(b) Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges that Continental is
party to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to assume and perform, or to
cause Continental to perform, all rights, duties and obligations of the Seller with regard to the
Collective Bargaining Agreement (as in effect from time to time) on and after the Closing Date.
The Purchaser agrees to assume sole responsibility and liability for: (i) any future benefit
increases provided in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, regardless of whether the benefit
increases are retroactive or relate to an event, agreement or period of time prior to the Closing
Date; and (ii) any post-retirement medical and group life insurance provided to the Employees in
the Collective Bargaining Agreement (as in effect from time to time).
44
(c) Plan Participation. Effective as of the Closing, the Employees shall cease to
participate in those Employee Benefit Plans sponsored by the Seller, including those listed in
Schedule 8.1(c) (the “Seller Sponsored Employee Benefit Plans”). Effective as of the
Closing Date, neither Purchaser nor the Companies shall have any liability with respect to the
Seller Sponsored Employee Benefit Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employees shall retain any
vested rights that they have under the Seller Sponsored Employee Benefit Plans. The Purchaser
shall provide levels of compensation and defined contribution retirement and welfare benefits to
Employees on the Closing Date that, taken as a whole, are comparable in the aggregate to the levels
of compensation and such benefits provided to the Employees immediately prior to the Closing. To
the extent necessary to provide such comparable compensation and benefits, the Purchaser shall
provide, or cause Continental or Mattituck, as the case may be, to provide, for the Employees’
participation in existing Employee Benefit Plans or establish new employee benefit plans
(collectively, the “Purchaser Employee Benefit Plans”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for periods
on and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the terms and conditions of the Purchaser
Employee Benefit Plans to satisfy the requirements of those Employee Benefit Plans required to be
provided to employees covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, as in effect from time to
time, with respect to such employees.
(d) Service and Other Credit.
(i) To the extent applicable with respect to the Purchaser Employee Benefit Plans, the
Employees (and their eligible dependents) shall be given credit for their service with the
Continental and Mattituck, as well as the Seller and the Seller’s Affiliates for purposes
of: (i) eligibility and vesting, (but not benefit accruals); and (ii) satisfying any waiting
periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing
condition limitations under the Purchaser’s Employee Benefit Plans to the extent such
service was taken into account (or such pre-existing conditions were waived) for comparable
purposes under the Seller Sponsored Employee Benefit Plans.
(ii) The Employees shall be given credit for amounts paid under the Seller Sponsored
Employee Benefit Plans during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs for
purposes of applying deductibles, copayments, and out-of-pocket maximums under the
Purchaser’s Employee Benefit Plans.
(iii) The Purchaser shall provide each Employee with credit for all of the earned but
unused vacation, sick leave, and other time off accrued through the Closing Date as
determined under the applicable policies of Continental or Mattituck.
(e) Liability for Benefit Claims. Other than workers’ compensation claims, which are
addressed in Section 8.1(k), all claims incurred with regard to any Employee or former
employee of Continental or Mattituck before the Closing and which are covered under the applicable
health, life or accidental death and dismemberment plans of the Seller shall be payable under the
terms of the applicable Seller Sponsored Employee Benefit Plan; provided, however that Continental,
and Mattituck, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse the Seller for the amount of any
payments made by the Seller, in accordance with the terms of the Seller Sponsored Employee Benefit
Plans with respect to such claims. All other claims incurred with
45
regard to any Employee on or after the Closing and which are covered under the applicable
health, life or accidental death or dismemberment plans of the Purchaser shall be payable under the
terms of the applicable plan of the Purchaser.
(f) Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Defined Contribution Plan Benefits.
(i) As of the Closing Date, each Employee’s participation in the Teledyne Technologies
Incorporated Pension Plan, as amended, and the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 401(k)
Plan (the “Seller’s 401(k) Plan”) shall cease. Immediately prior to the Closing, Seller
shall cause all of the Employees’ account balances under the Seller’s 401(k) Plan to be
fully vested. Effective as soon as practicable after the Closing, the Purchaser shall
establish a new 401(k) plan or provide for participation in an existing 401(k) plan (the
“Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan”) and the Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan shall permit each Employee the
option to “rollover” to the Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan such employee’s account balance in the
Seller’s 401(k) Plan and, to the extent permitted by under applicable law, any loan of such
Employee from the Seller’s 401(k) Plan.
(ii) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Union 401(k) Plan to be transferred
from Seller as adopting employer to Continental as adopting and sponsoring employer and
shall authorize the transfer of plan assets and assignment of related agreements with the
custodian and recordkeeper (or such other service providers responsible for administration
of the Union 401(k) Plan).
(iii) Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall establish, to the extent required
by, and in accordance with, the Collective Bargaining Agreement (as in effect from time to
time), a defined benefit pension plan for participation by those employees eligible to
participate pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (as in effect from time to
time).
(g) Retiree Medical and Life Coverage. Effective as of the Closing, the Purchaser
shall establish medical and group life insurance plans to cover the Employees and former employees
of Continental and Mattituck who are currently receiving retiree benefits or who are eligible to
receive retiree benefits (including, without limitation, deferred vested Employees) pursuant to the
terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (as in effect from time to time) or pursuant to the
programs for salaried Employees set forth on Schedule 4.13(e) of the Disclosure Schedules,
which will be substantially similar in the aggregate to those offered by the Seller for salaried
Employees or as otherwise required pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (as in effect
from time to time).
(h) COBRA. The Purchaser shall be responsible for providing health care continuation
coverage as required by the Consolidation Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) to Employees
who are terminated by the Purchaser on and after the Closing Date.
(i) Sale/Stay Bonuses. The Purchaser shall be responsible for, and hereby agrees to
pay pursuant to the terms thereof, the obligations and liabilities for sale and stay bonuses and
stay/severance bonuses (but not obligations under annual incentive plans, stock option plans,
46
performance share plans or restricted stock programs) pursuant to the sale and stay bonus
agreements and severance commitments listed on Schedule 2.3(a)(ii); provided, however,
Seller shall be responsible for those payments characterized as “Option Alternative Payments”.
(j) Vesting of Continental Pension Eligible Employees. The Seller shall cause each
employee of Continental who is a participant in the Seller Pension Plan as of the Closing Date to
be fully vested in his or her accrued benefit under the Seller Pension Plan.
(k) Nothing in this Section 8.1, express or implied: (i) is intended to confer on any
Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights,
remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or (ii) shall require
Purchaser to maintain any specific benefit plan or to guarantee employment of any Employee for any
period of time after Closing, except as required under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (as in
effect from time to time). No provision of this Section 8.1 shall create any third party
beneficiary rights in any Person, including, without limitation, any Employees.
8.2. Workers Compensation Plan Matters.
(a) The Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all liabilities relating to, arising out of,
or resulting from workers’ compensation claims by Employees and former employees of the Business
that are related to their employment with the Business (“Workers’ Compensation Claims”), whether
incurred before or after the Closing Date, including any claims related to an aggravation of an
injury incurred prior to the Closing Date.
(b) With respect to Workers’ Compensation Claims arising prior to the Closing, the Seller
shall continue to administer, or cause to be administered, such claims under Sellers’ workers’
compensation insurance policies and related third party administration agreements (the “Seller
Workers’ Compensation Plan”) in accordance with applicable law. The Purchaser shall fully
cooperate with the Seller and its insurance company or companies in the administration and
reporting of Workers’ Compensation Claims under the Seller Workers’ Compensation Plan. Any
determination made, or settlement entered into, by or on behalf of Seller or its insurance company
or companies with respect to such Workers’ Compensation Claims shall be final and binding. The
Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller or its insurance company, as the case may be, for any and all
direct and indirect costs related to such Workers’ Compensation Claims, including, but not limited
to loss costs, claims administration fees, legal expenses, premium audits, per claim deductibles,
and retrospective premium adjustments.
(c) With respect to Workers’ Compensation Claims arising after the Closing, the Purchaser
shall be responsible for complying with the workers’ compensation requirements of the states in
which Continental and Mattituck conduct business and for obtaining and maintaining insurance
programs for its risk of loss as of the Closing Date (or such earlier date as the Purchaser may
determine). Such insurance arrangements shall be separate and apart from the Seller Workers’
Compensation Plan.

respective Affiliates, from and against any losses, expenses, fees, costs, damages, fines,
penalties and other liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable fees of attorneys and
accountants (collectively, “Losses”) the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser
Indemnified Parties”), suffer to the extent such Losses result from, arise out of or are caused
from any of the following:
(a) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this
Agreement;
(b) the nonfulfillment, nonperformance or other breach by the of any agreement or covenant
contained in this Agreement and in all other agreements, instruments or certificates delivered
pursuant to this Agreement; or
(c) any claim or liability arising out of the Excluded Assets.
10.3. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Seller. Subject to the

51
harmless the Seller and its respective Affiliates, from and against any Losses the Seller or

Purchaser, Continental or Mattituck, as the case may be, to pay directly or reimburse the Seller
any amounts in accordance with Section 7.5);
(c) the failure of the Purchaser, Continental or Mattituck to pay or otherwise discharge when

taken (i) result in Environmental Losses pursuant to Section 10.6(f) and (ii) cause Seller
not to have any, or otherwise exonerate the Seller from, indemnification obligations pursuant to
Section 10.6(f).
10.4. Matters Involving Third Parties. If any third party notifies any party hereto
(the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for
indemnification against the other party hereto (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section
10, then the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party thereof promptly and in any
event within ten (10) days after receiving any written notice from a third party; provided,
however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party
will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless, and then solely to the
extent that, the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Once the Indemnified Party
has given notice of the matter to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party may defend against
the matter in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate. In the event the Indemnifying Party
notifies the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after the date the Indemnified Party has given
notice of the matter that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense of such matter (a) the
Indemnifying Party will vigorously defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel of
its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and (b) the Indemnified Party may
retain separate counsel at its sole cost and expense (except that the Indemnifying Party will be
responsible for the fees and expenses of such separate co-counsel to the extent the Indemnified
Party reasonably concludes in good faith that the Indemnified Party has defenses available to it
that may conflict with those of the Indemnifying Party), (c) the Indemnified Party will not
52
consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter
without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably),
and (d) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to the
matter or enter into any settlement which does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or
claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto,
without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably).
If the Indemnifying Party fails to defend the third party claim, then the Indemnified Party will
have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the third party
claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party
(with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonable withheld
conditioned or delayed), but only to the extent that the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.
10.5. Indemnification Limitations; Liability Threshold and Caps.
(a) An Indemnified Party shall have the right to payment by the Indemnifying Party under
Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.3(a), as applicable, only if, and only to the extent
that:
(i) the Indemnified Party shall have incurred Losses, with respect to any individual
claim, in an amount in excess of $100,000 (each, a “Material Claim”);
(ii) the Indemnified Party shall have incurred Losses, with respect to all Material
Claims in the aggregate, in an amount in excess of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price;
and
(iii) the Indemnified Party shall have incurred Losses (including Environmental Losses)
that do not exceed, in the aggregate, twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price (the
“General Cap”), in which event such indemnification shall be required only to the extent of
the Indemnified Party’s Losses below the General Cap.
(b) Notwithstanding the anything contained in this Section 10.5, (i) the limitations
set forth in Section 10.5(a) shall not apply to any claims based on or arising out of
Sections 10.2(b), 10.2(c), 10.3(b), 10.3(c), 10.3(d) or
10.3(f) or based on willful or intentional misconduct, fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation and (ii) the limitations set forth in Section 10.5(a)(ii), shall not
apply to any claims for inaccuracies or breaches of the representations and warranties contained in
Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.7, Section 4.10(a) and
Section 4.18.
(c) Neither party hereto will be liable to the other hereunder for any punitive, consequential
or incidental damages (including loss of revenue or income, business interruption, cost of capital
or loss of business reputation or opportunity) relating to any claim for which either such party
may be entitled to recover under this Agreement (other than indemnification of amounts paid or
payable to third parties in respect of any third party claim for which indemnification hereunder is
required).
(d) No claim for the recovery of Losses based upon breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement may be asserted by Seller Indemnified Parties or Purchaser
53
Indemnified Parties against the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be if any of the
Seller Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, had actual
knowledge of such breach (i) on or before the Closing Date or (ii) as of the date the Disclosure
Schedules are deemed to be amended, if at all, for those matters identified pursuant to Section
6.6(b); provided, however, that if the Disclosure Schedules are not deemed to be amended
pursuant Section 6.6(b)(ii)(ii), on or before the date of this Agreement.
(e) Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability under or otherwise in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby for any Loss: (a) to the
extent arising as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Purchaser or any of
its Affiliates, (b) to the extent arising from a change in any law that becomes effective after the
Closing Date and (c) if such Loss is accrued, provided or reserved for in, or otherwise taken into
account in connection with, the calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital, Closing Net
Working Capital or the preparation of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement, but only to
the extent of the amount specifically included on the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement or
the Closing Net Working Capital Statement.
10.6. Indemnification for Environmental Matters.
(a) With respect to any Losses for a breach of a representation or warranty contained in
Section 4.15 or Section 4.17 to the extent pertaining to or relating to or arising
from any Environmental Law for which the Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Section 10 in connection with the operation of the Business or the Leased Real Property
(“Environmental Losses”), the Purchaser shall provide notice to the Seller pursuant to Section
12.8 hereof specifying in reasonable detail, to the extent known, the nature of the
Environmental Losses and the estimated amount to remediate the condition giving rise to the
Environmental Losses, to the extent it is then quantifiable (which estimate shall not be conclusive
of the final amount of any Environmental Losses).
(b) The Seller shall have the right to control and investigate and/or remediate any condition
giving rise to a claim or demand for indemnification by the Purchaser under this Agreement with
respect to any Environmental Losses; provided, however, that if after written notice and a
reasonable opportunity to cure the Seller does not exercise such right, the Purchaser may exercise
such right without prejudice to the Purchaser’s rights to indemnification for any Environmental
Losses. The Seller and its employees, contractors, representatives and agents shall have
reasonable access upon at least seventy-two (72) hours of advance notice and at reasonable times to
the facilities of the Business for the purpose of conducting any investigation and/or remediation,
including any sampling or monitoring required to be performed by the Seller after the Closing Date
or at any time thereafter. The Seller and its employees, contractors, representatives and agents
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to the Business as a result of
conducting any such investigation or remediation. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each other from any Losses arising from or related to their
respective gross negligence or willful misconduct during performance of any investigation or
remediation by the Seller. The Seller shall manage any investigation or remediation in good faith
and in a responsible manner, and any activities conducted in connection therewith shall be
undertaken and completed using commercially reasonable efforts,
54
taking into account the schedules and approvals as agreed with the applicable Governmental
Entity.
(c) The Purchaser shall be entitled to a reasonable right of participation, at its sole cost
and expense, in the event that the Seller assumes primary control under Section 10.6(b)
with respect to any condition giving rise to a claim or demand for indemnification by the Purchaser
under this Agreement with respect to any Environmental Losses. Such reasonable right of
participation shall be limited to the right to (i) receive final copies of all work plans, reports,
correspondence and other documents concerning any environmental matter, and (ii) review and comment
on, in advance, and to Seller only, any work plans.
(d) The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Seller to
minimize costs with respect to Environmental Losses. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the
Seller to perform any environmental remediation activities or other environmental testing, sampling
or monitoring activities beyond the minimum required by applicable Environmental Laws as necessary
to permit the use of the Leased Real Property consistent with its current use. The Seller shall
have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser for costs to the extent those costs are related to
activities that the Purchaser elects to take or requests Seller to take beyond the minimum required
by applicable Environmental Laws. The party performing the investigation or remediation shall have
the right to the use of institutional or engineering controls, and in no event shall any
institutional or engineering controls that may be used as part of a remedy unreasonably interfere
with the Business or the Purchaser’s operations at the Leased Real Property. Any remedial action
covered hereunder shall be deemed to have been adequately completed to the extent that it attains
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws consistent with this Section 10.6(c),
including without limitation, applicable action levels or cleanup standards promulgated thereunder,
and any lawful order or directive of the appropriate Governmental Entity, unless such order or
directive is successfully challenged by the performing party.
(e) To the extent that the Seller is Indemnifying the Purchaser with respect to any
Environmental Losses, then the Purchaser shall give prompt written notice to the Seller of any
report or other document submitted, whether voluntarily or by requirement of a Government Entity,
to a Governmental Entity. To the extent reasonably possible in the circumstances, the Seller shall
have the right to review and comment upon any submission to a Governmental Entity which describes
or addresses any environmental condition for which the Purchaser is claiming indemnification from
the Seller hereunder (and the Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in responding to such
requests, including making available all relevant records in its possession or under its reasonable
control), and the Purchaser shall revise such submission in accordance with the Seller’s reasonable
comments thereon. To the extent reasonably possible in the circumstances, the Purchaser shall give
the Seller prompt written notice of, and the Seller and/or its representatives shall have the right
to participate in, any phone call or meeting with any Governmental Entity at which any
environmental condition for which the Purchaser is claiming indemnification from the Seller
hereunder is to be discussed or addressed in any manner.
(f) The Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party from
and against (i) any Environmental Losses to the extent arising from or related to a use
55
of the facilities of the Business that is not substantially a continuation of the operation of
the Business as conducted on the Closing Date, or (ii) any Environmental Losses to the extent
arising from or related to any change in the use of the Leased Real Property from industrial use,
or by the installation or construction of new buildings, pavement or other structures or
improvements on, or alteration of the topography of, the Leased Real Property other than as a
substantial continuation of the operation of the Business as described in subparagraph (i) above,
or (iii) any Environmental Losses to the extent arising from or related to any amendment to or
change in any Environmental Law from that which is in effect on the date hereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller will not have any obligation to indemnify the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any Environmental Losses to the extent that any such
Environmental Losses (w) do not relate to an environmental condition arising from the operation of
the Business and in existence prior to the Closing Date, (x) arise with respect to any Release of a
Hazardous Material by the Purchaser after the Closing Date, (y) result from the Purchaser, its
agents and representatives, conducting invasive environmental investigations, sampling or
monitoring of the facilities of the Business unless (A) required to do so by Environmental Law or
by a Governmental Entity or (B) in response to a reasonable due diligence request from the owner of
such real property and only as contractually required by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the
applicable lease existing as of the date hereof, or (z) result from any act or failure to act of
the Purchaser, its employees, contractors, representatives or agents that further cause or
exacerbate the Release of any Hazardous Materials at the facilities of the Business; provided that,
any failure to act with regard to further migration of existing contamination shall not be
considered exacerbation. The Purchaser acknowledges that nothing contained herein absolves it of
any obligation under any Environmental Law for Environmental Losses with respect to violations of
Environmental Laws by the Purchaser, its employees, contractors, representatives or agents.
10.7. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION
10 WILL CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RECOURSE AND REMEDY OF THE PARTIES FOR MONETARY
DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OF ANY OF THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS CONTAINED
IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOSSES RESULTING FROM,
ARISING OUT OF, OR CAUSED BY EXCLUDED LIABILITIES. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10 WILL
NOT RESTRICT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR OTHER EQUITABLE REMEDIES IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY BREACH OF ANY OF THE COVENANTS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE FAILURE TO PAY, PERFORM AND DISCHARGE WHEN
DUE, THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT, THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.7 SHALL NOT APPLY TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF THE
SELLER TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY CLAIM ARISES BY REASON OF ANY WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF
THE SELLER OR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION OF ANY PARTY.
56
10.8. Minimizing Losses. Each party agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts
to minimize all Losses for which it may seek indemnification from the other party pursuant to this
Section 10.
10.9. Indemnity Payments. The parties agree that any payments by one party to the
other party made pursuant to this Section 10 will be treated by the parties on all
applicable tax returns as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Each Party acknowledges that in
case of any breach of its respective covenants or other obligations, the other Parties would suffer
immediate and irreparable harm, which money damages would be inadequate to remedy, and accordingly,
in case of any such breach each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to obtain specific
performance and other equitable remedies, in addition to other remedies provided in this
Section 10.
Section 11 Termination.
11.1. Termination of Agreement. The parties may terminate this Agreement as provided
below:
(a) the parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to
the Closing;
(b) the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Seller at any
time prior to the Closing if the Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is one-hundred
twenty (120) days following the date hereof (the “End Date”); provided that, the End Date shall be
extended for an additional thirty (30) days to the extent that (I) the Purchaser has not received
written notice from CFIUS that (i) review under Section 721 of the U.S. Defense Production Act of
1950, as amended, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been concluded, and (ii)
CFIUS has determined that there are no unresolved national security concerns with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement sufficient to warrant a recommendation that the
President block such transactions under said Section 721, and (iii) advised that action under said
Section 721 has been concluded with respect to such transactions and/or (II) the condition set
forth in Section 9.1(d), solely with respect to the HSR Act or any approvals required by
the People’s Republic of China, shall not have been satisfied on the End Date; unless (x) failure
results primarily from the Purchaser itself breaching any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in this Agreement, or (y) unless an extension is mutually agreeable to the Seller and the
Purchaser; and
(c) the Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Purchaser at any
time prior to the Closing if the Closing has not occurred on or before the End Date (as may be
extended pursuant to Section 11.1(b)); unless (x) failure results primarily from the Seller
itself breaching any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, or (y)
unless an extension is mutually agreeable to the Seller and the Purchaser.
11.2. Effect of Termination. If any party terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 11.1, all obligations of the parties hereunder will terminate without liability of
any party to the other party (except for any liability of any party then in breach); provided that
the provisions of
57
Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement
will survive termination and remain in full force and effect thereafter.
Section 12 Miscellaneous.
12.1. Press Releases and Announcements. No party will issue any press release or
announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing Date without the
prior approval of the other party; provided that any party may make any public disclosure it

automated inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of either party (or any Affiliate
thereof) are listed or admitted for trading.
12.2. Expenses; Transfer Taxes. Each of the parties hereto will bear all legal,
accounting, investment banking and other expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection

required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including pursuant to the
Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act and all fees and expenses of any governmental approvals required by The
People’s Republic of China in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Seller
will pay and hold the Purchaser harmless from all sales, use, transfer and documentary taxes
applicable to the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the Stock to the Purchaser and the party
responsible under Law for filing the Tax Returns relating to any such Taxes shall file such Tax
Returns.
12.3. Consent to Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or
waived only by a written agreement executed and delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser. No
other course of dealing between the parties to this Agreement or any delay in exercising any rights
hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of such parties.
12.4. Successors and Assigns. No party hereto may assign or delegate any of such
party’s rights or obligations under or in connection with this Agreement without the written
consent of the other party hereto; provided that the Seller may assign this Agreement to an

all the assets of the Seller. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will be binding

interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will
be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition of invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of this Agreement.
58
12.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such
counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

12.9. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Other than as set forth in Section 7.7,
this Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their successors and
permitted assigns and is not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other
Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Section 10.
12.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Ancillary Agreements and the
Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire Agreement and understanding of the parties and
supersede any previous agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement, and
the documents referred to in it, it does not rely on, and shall have no remedy in respect of any
statement, representation, warranty or understanding (whether negligently or innocently made) of
any person (whether party to this Agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in this
Agreement. The only remedy available to it for breach of the warranties shall be for breach of
contract under the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this sub-clause shall, however, operate to
limit or exclude any liability for fraud. Subject to the requirements of the parties to make
certain efforts required by Section 6.2(b), each of the parties acknowledges and agrees
that no party shall have any liability for the failure to receive, for any reason whatsoever, any
approvals, waivers, consents or other authorizations (including, without limitation terminations or
expirations of applicable waiting periods) in respect of, or related to, the HSR Act, other
anti-trust or merger control filings, CFIUS, or as may be required by the Laws of the People’s
Republic of China.
12.11. Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the
language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction
will be applied against any party. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement means
“including without limitation” and is intended by the parties to be by way of example rather than
limitation.
12.12. Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified
in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. If and to the
extent any information required to be furnished in any Disclosure Schedule is contained in this
Agreement or any other Disclosure Schedule, such information shall be deemed to be included in all
of the Disclosure Schedules in which the information would otherwise be required to be included.
By listing matters on the Disclosure Schedules, the Seller shall not be deemed to have established
any materiality standard, admitted any liability or concluded that one or more of such matters are
material, or expanded in any way the scope or effect of the representations and warranties of the
Seller contained in this Agreement.
60
12.13. WARN Act. The Purchaser will be solely liable for any and all obligations and
liabilities arising under the WARN Act with respect to consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
12.14. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. WITH RESPECT TO THE SELLER THE PURCHASER AND THE
PURCHASER GUARANTOR, ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES HERETO WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAW, AND NOT THE
LAW OF CONFLICTS, OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE. Each of the Seller, the Purchaser and Purchaser
Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the Court of Chancery in
and for the State of Delaware and (ii) to the extent that jurisdiction cannot be obtained in the
Court of Chancery, the state courts located in the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit,
action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement or the breach, performance, enforcement,
validity or invalidity of this Agreement or any provision hereof (and agrees not to commence any
action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts). Each of the Seller, the
Purchaser and Purchaser Guarantor further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or
document hand delivered or sent by U. S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set
forth in Section 12.8 will be effective service of process for any action, suit or
proceeding in any such courts with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction
as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. To the extent that either Purchaser or
Purchaser Guarantor is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, each
of Purchaser and Purchaser Guarantor appoints XXXXXXX.XXX, 0000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000,
Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 irrevocably as its agent in the State of Delaware for acceptance of
legal process in connection with any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement or
the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity of this Agreement or any provision
hereof against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party
personally within the State of Delaware. Each of the Seller, the Purchaser and Purchaser Guarantor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action,
suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
this Agreement, any provision of or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity of
this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery in and for the State of
Delaware or state courts of the State of Delaware and hereby further irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action,
suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Seller, the Purchaser and Purchaser Guarantor agrees
that a final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be
enforced by suit on the judgment in any jurisdiction or in any other manner provided in Law or in
equity. Neither Purchaser nor Purchaser Guarantor shall claim that it is entitled to any sovereign
immunity exemption or defense, and to the extent that either Purchaser or Purchaser Guarantor is so
entitled, each of Purchaser and Purchaser Guarantor hereby waive their respective rights to any
such exemption or defense.
61
12.15. Purchaser Guaranty. At least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date,
Purchaser Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Seller a guaranty substantially in the form
attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E (the “Purchaser Guaranty”).
