Section 1.06. Assignment of Contracts and Rights.

(a) Schedule 1.06(a)(i) lists all written Contracts (including Contracts that consist only of open purchase orders) in effect between Seller and other Persons for the purchase of wet tantalum capacitors by such Persons from Seller (the “Customer Contracts”) and identifies those Customer Contracts that are between Seller and a distributor (“Distributor Contracts”) and those that are between Seller and Persons that are not distributors (“Other Customer Contracts”).

(b) Distributor Contracts shall not be assigned to Buyer. Buyer shall fulfill Seller’s obligations with respect to any open orders under Distributor Contracts for wet tantalum capacitors listed on Schedule 1.01(a)(i) and shall be entitled to receive the amount of any payments due to Seller with respect to such orders. After fulfillment of such open orders, any further orders and sales of wet tantalum capacitors given to Buyer by the respective distributors party to the Distributor Contracts shall be governed by the terms of Buyer’s agreements with the distributors party to the Distributor Contracts. Seller shall direct any payor of amounts to which Buyer is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.06(b), to pay such amounts, net of any discounts and credits which are applicable to such amounts payable under the relevant Distributor Contract, directly to Buyer except with respect to any orders for which Seller provided the invoice, provided, however, that in all cases where Seller receives any amounts due to Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.06(b), Seller shall promptly forward such amounts to Buyer.

(c) Transferred Agreements shall consist of (i) Other Customer Contracts that relate solely to the sale of wet tantalum capacitors and that are assignable by their terms without Consent or for which all required consents are obtained prior to the Closing Date and (ii) the portion of Other Customer Contracts relating to the sale of wet tantalum capacitors to the extent that such portion can be and is severed from the remainder of the Contract pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Seller and Buyer and executed by the other party to the Contract prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of all Transferred Agreements on or prior to the Closing. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement or attempted agreement to transfer, sublease or assign any Contract or any claim or right with respect to any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted transfer, sublease or assignment thereof, without the required Consent of any other party thereto, would constitute a breach thereof or in any way affect the rights of Buyer or Seller thereunder. Within a commercially reasonable time after Closing,

Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consent of any such third party to the transfer, sublease or assignment to Buyer of Other Customer Contracts that relate solely to the sale of wet tantalum capacitors in cases in which such Consent is required for such transfer, sublease or assignment. If any such Consent is not obtained, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer in reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide Buyer the benefits thereunder and provide for Buyer to perform the obligations thereunder, including (a) adherence to reasonable procedures established by Buyer for the immediate transfer to Buyer of any payments or other funds received by Seller thereunder (other than the Receivables) and (b) enforcement for the benefit of Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, of any and all rights of Seller thereunder against the other party or parties thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other party or parties or otherwise and performance by Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, on behalf of Seller of the obligations thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer agrees to assume all obligations and liabilities of Seller with respect to the Business and the sale of wet tantalum capacitors arising under Other Customer Contracts that are not assigned to Buyer but only if and to the extent that Buyer is entitled to receive the corresponding amounts due to Buyer with respect to wet tantalum capacitors sold pursuant to such Other Customer Contracts. Consistent with the foregoing, Buyer agrees to assume Seller’s warranty obligations concerning all Products shipped on or after the Closing Date for which Seller issues invoices to the customer pursuant to Other Customer Contracts that are not assigned to Buyer.

(d) To the extent assignable, Seller hereby assigns to Buyer so much of the rights of Seller under or pursuant to all warranties, representations and guarantees made by suppliers, manufacturers and contractors relating directly to products sold or services provided in connection with the Business or affecting the property, machinery or equipment used by Seller in the Business, to the extent that such rights related to Transferred Assets.

Section 1.07. No Other Representations. Except for the express representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article III, Buyer acknowledges that Seller has not made, and Buyer has not relied upon, any other representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the Business or the Transferred Assets. SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM CUSTOM AND PRACTICE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ARTICLE III, SELLER SELLS, AND BUYER ACCEPTS, THE TRANSFERRED ASSETS ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve Seller of its liability for fraud or intentional misstatement or misrepresentation.

To the Knowledge of Seller, there is no valid basis, or specific circumstances that with the passage of time would become a basis, for Seller’s suspension or debarment from doing business with the United States Government.

(c) Neither Seller, nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, any of Seller’s officers, directors, or employees, has knowingly provided to any person any false or misleading

information with respect to Seller, or any of its officers, directors, equityholders or employees, in connection with the procurement of, performance under or renewal of, any Government Contract.

Section 3.11. Insurance. Seller or its Affiliates have in place insurance policies with respect to the Transferred Assets and the Business in amounts and types that are customary in the industry for similar assets and sufficient to cover the full value of the Tangible Personal Property, and all such policies are valid and in full force and effect. Schedule 3.11 contains a complete and accurate list and an accurate summary of all property, commercial general liability, workers’ compensation and automobile liability insurance policies currently maintained relating to the Transferred Assets or the Business. Such policies, as are current, are valid and in full force and effect, all premiums due thereon have been paid, Seller and, if applicable, its Affiliates, have complied with the material provisions of such policies, and all such policies either specifically include Seller as named insured or include omnibus named insured language which generally includes Seller, and Seller or its Affiliates have not received any notification of cancellation, modification or denial of renewal of any such policies, except as set forth on Schedule 3.11.

Section 3.12. Employees and Related Matters. There are no pending or threatened disputes, grievances, charges, complaints, petitions or proceedings involving the employees of Seller that could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and there are no pending or threatened strikes, lockouts or general work stoppages involving employees of Seller which could cause a cessation of operation of the Business or any facility where the Business is conducted and Seller is not subject to show cause, notices or debarment or administrative procedure involving any Governmental Authority related to its employees practices with respect to the Business that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.13. Customers and Suppliers. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a list of (x) the ten (10) largest customers of the Business in terms of sales during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and for Arcotronics, year-to-date as of July 31, 2008 and for Seller and its subsidiaries, year-to-date as of August 20, 2008, showing the approximate total sales by the Business to each such customer during such periods, respectively, and (y) the ten (10) largest suppliers to the Business during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, measured by dollar volume of purchases. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13, Seller has received no notice of termination and is not aware of an intention to terminate the relationship with the Business or significantly reduce the volume of the Business from any customer or supplier named in Schedule 3.13. The list of customers provided by Seller in accordance with Section 5.02 is true and correct.

Section 3.14. Product Liability. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.14 hereto, no Action has been commenced in the five year period immediately preceding the date of this Agreement, is currently pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Business relating to any product alleged to have been manufactured or sold by Seller in connection with the Business and alleged to have been defective, or improperly designed or manufactured.

Section 3.15. Environmental Compliance.

(a) Each of Seller and its Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the Mexican General Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection, its Regulations and Mexican Official Standards that may apply (the “Mexican Environmental Legislation”), as well as all applicable federal, foreign, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, those applicable to emissions to the environment, waste management and waste disposal, except for such noncompliance which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No lien has been imposed or asserted on any of the Transferred Assets, the Business or the Assumed Liabilities by any Governmental Authority or other person in connection with any Mexican Environmental Law or Environmental Condition.

(c) Seller has discharged all of its obligations pertaining to the operation of the Business. Seller (i) has all environmental permits necessary for the activities and operations of the Business and for any past or ongoing alterations or improvements at its facilities in Ciudad Victoria and Matamoros, State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, and (ii) is not in violation of any such environmental permits and has applied for renewals where necessary.

Section 3.16. Foreign Practices Act. Seller has not, directly or indirectly, at any time directly in connection with the Business made any payment to any state, federal or foreign governmental officer or official, or other person charged with similar public or quasi-public duties, other than payments or contributions required or allowed by applicable law. Seller’s internal accounting controls and procedures with respect to the Business are sufficient to cause Seller to comply in all material respects with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

Section 3.17. Inventory. At the Closing, the Inventory will be items of good quality and usable or saleable by the Business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and merchantable and fit for the purpose for which such Inventory was procured or manufactured.

Section 3.18. Transactions with Affiliates. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18, no officer, director, employee, agent or representative of Seller, nor any spouse or child of any of them or any Person affiliated with any of them (each a “Related Person”), has any interest in any assets or properties used in or pertaining to the Business, to the extent related to the Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities. No Related Person has, or owns any Person who has, directly or indirectly, and whether on an individual, joint or other basis, any equity interest or any other financial or profit interest in a Person that has (i) had business dealings with Seller pertaining to the Business or (ii) engaged in competition with the Business, to the extent related to the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 3.19. Taxes.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.19, all tax returns or information statements required to be filed by or on account of the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business have been filed before the federal, state or local tax authorities, and all statements and information contained therein are true and correct in all material

respects and Seller has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes which have become due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessments which have been levied on Seller. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.19, to Seller’s Knowledge, there is no tax deficiency proposed or threatened by any governmental or regulatory agency against the Business, or the Transferred Assets. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.19, no audit of any tax return of Seller with respect to the Business, or the Transferred Assets is in progress.

(b) All Taxes with respect to the Business, the Assumed Liabilities and the Transferred Assets not yet due but incurred on or before the execution of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby) are or will be adequately disclosed to Buyer in order to ascertain that there is no contingent liability that may be charged to Seller affecting the Business, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Assets.

Section 3.20. Brokers and Finders. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.20, neither Seller nor any of its officers, directors or employees has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders’ fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.21. No Misleading Statements. To the Knowledge of Seller, it has not failed to disclose to Buyer in writing any fact that has specific application to the Business (other than general economic or industry conditions) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business. No representation or warranty contained in this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make any of them, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading.

Following the Closing, each party will afford the other party, its counsel and its accountants, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the books, records and other data relating to the Business in its possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, at the requesting party’s expense, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by the requesting party in connection with (i) the preparation of financial reports or tax returns, (ii) the determination or enforcement of rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) compliance with the requirements of any Governmental Authority, or (v) in connection with any actual or threatened Action or proceeding, but in each case only to the extent that such access does not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of the party providing such access.

Further, each party agrees for a period extending for five (5) years after the Closing Date not to destroy or otherwise dispose of any such books, records and other data unless such party shall first offer in writing to surrender such books, records and other data to the other party and such other party does not agree in writing to take possession thereof during the ten (10) day period after such offer is made.

Section 5.07. Confidential Information. Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has Confidential Information (as defined below) and that such Confidential Information does and will constitute valuable, special and unique property of Buyer from and after the Closing Date and (ii) for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, it will not, directly or indirectly, and will cause its Affiliates not to, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Buyer or employees or agents of Seller with a need to know, provided such Confidential Information is not used in violation of this Agreement, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Buyer, any Confidential Information. Seller shall not have any obligation to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by Law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, Seller shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Buyer with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order.

The term “Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (a) is generally available to the public on the date of this Agreement, (b) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Seller not otherwise permissible thereunder or (c) Seller learns from other sources where such sources have not violated their confidentiality obligation to Buyer.

The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreements, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

Section 6.03. Indemnification Procedure.

(a) If any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Seller, if the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party (the “Seller Indemnifying Parties”), or Buyer, if the Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnified Party (the “Buyer Indemnifying Parties” and, together with Seller Indemnifying Parties, the “Indemnifying Parties”), in writing of such claim with reasonable particularity. The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Parties with prompt notice of any third party claim in respect of which indemnification is sought. The failure to provide such notice will not affect any rights hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) If such claim involves a claim by a third party against the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnifying Parties may, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice and upon notice to the Indemnified Parties, assume, through counsel of their own choosing and at their own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Parties shall reasonably cooperate with them in connection therewith. In the event the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume the settlement or defense of such third party claim, the Indemnified Parties shall be permitted to participate in such settlement or defense through one counsel chosen (and one local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction) by them, the expense of which will be the obligation of the Indemnified Parties; unless an Indemnified Party is a named party to such action or suit and the Indemnified Parties have reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Parties and such Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Parties shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel chosen (and one

22 local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction) by the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.03 to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party may, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment, unless the terms of such settlement release the Indemnified Parties from any and all liability with respect to such action or suit and do not contain any admission of liability or culpability of the Indemnified Parties. So long as the Indemnifying Parties are contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Parties shall not pay or settle any such claim without the Indemnifying Parties’ Consent, which Consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Parties do not give notice within a reasonable time that they elect to assume the settlement or defense of such claim or suit, then the Indemnified Parties may conduct and control, through counsel of their own choosing and at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnifying Parties shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnified Parties shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or to any settlement of such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Parties, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right at any point to participate in the Indemnified Parties’ defense, to attend meetings and conferences, and to review such information and documents in the Indemnified Parties’ possession as they may reasonably request concerning such action or suit except where such participation, attendance or review would (x) void any claim of privilege by an Indemnified Party or (y) materially impair any legal defense or claim of an Indemnified Party. The failure of the Indemnified Parties to participate in, conduct or control such defense shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any obligation they may have hereunder.

Section 6.04. Indemnification Amounts.

(a) Basket. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(i) or 6.02(b)(i) hereto unless and until the dollar amount of all indemnifiable Losses in the aggregate exceeds $250,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all indemnifiable Losses in excess of $250,000.

(b) Seller’s Cap. Subject to Section 6.04(d), (f), and (g), the maximum aggregate liability of all Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 6.02(a)(i) for all Losses shall be 30% of the Purchase Price (“Seller’s Cap”).

(c) Buyer’s Cap. Subject to Section 6.04(e), (f), and (g), the maximum aggregate liability of all Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 6.02(b)(i) for all Losses shall be 30% of the Purchase Price (“Buyer’s Cap”).

(d) Exclusions from Seller’s Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Losses shall not be subject to the provisions of Seller’s Cap and a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to such Losses in accordance with this Article VI as though Seller’s Cap was not a part of this Agreement:

(i) Losses relating to or caused by or resulting from the breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.01 (Organization and

23 Authority of Seller), 3.05(d) (Title to Transferred Assets) and 3.20 (Brokers and Finders); and

(ii) Losses relating to, caused by or resulting from the actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation of Seller under this Agreement.

(e) Exclusions from Buyer’s Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Losses shall not be subject to the provisions of Buyer’s Cap and a Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to such Losses in accordance with this Article VI as though Buyer’s Cap was not a part of this Agreement:

(i) Losses relating to or caused by or resulting from the breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01 (Organization and Authority of Buyer) and 4.05 (Brokers and Finders); and

(ii) Losses relating to, caused by or resulting from the actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation of Buyer under this Agreement.

(f) Computation of Losses. The amount of any liability of Seller under Section 6.02(a) shall be computed net of any tax benefit to Buyer Indemnified Parties actually received by Buyer Indemnified Parties, net of any insurance proceeds actually received by Buyer Indemnified Parties, and net of any indemnity, contribution, or other similar payment actually received by any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to the matter out of which such liability arose. The amount of any liability of Buyer under Section 6.02(b) shall be computed net of any tax benefit to Seller Indemnified Parties actually received by Seller Indemnified Parties, net of any insurance proceeds actually received by Seller Indemnified Parties, and net of any indemnity, contribution, or other similar payment actually received by any Seller Indemnified Party with respect to the matter out of which such liability arose.

(g) No Special Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable or responsible to any Indemnified Party for special, punitive, incidental, consequential, or multiplied damages or for lost profits, except as reducing the value of the Business or the Transferred Assets and except as required to be paid to a third-party claimant.

Section 6.05. Tax Treatment of Indemnification. For all Tax purposes, the parties hereto agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 6.06. Escrow Amount. The obligation of Seller under Section 6.02(a) shall be satisfied first from the Escrow Amount and, if the Escrow Amount is inadequate to provide indemnification to Buyer as provided in Section 6.02(a), from Seller, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.04(a), (b), (f) and (g).

Section 6.07. Exclusive Remedy. The right to receive indemnification pursuant to this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party with respect to liability of Seller and Buyer for a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty or the

24 breach of any covenant in this Agreement, the Xxxx of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the Trademark License Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and any certificate furnished hereunder, or conduct otherwise relating to the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude a party from seeking specific performance or injunctive relief or bringing an action for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

ARTICLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 7.01. Publicity. No publicity release or announcement concerning this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be issued without advance approval of the form and substance thereof by Seller and Buyer, except as many otherwise be required by applicable Law (in which case the party making such release or announcement will provide concurrent or, if practicable, prior notice to the other parties hereto). Neither party shall take any action which is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to harm, disparage, defame, slander, or lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity for the other party with respect to the Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or otherwise take any action which might detrimentally affect the reputation, image, relationships or public view of the other party with respect to the Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.02. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for a breach of Sections 5.03, 5.04, 5.05, 5.06 and 7.01 of this Agreement by Seller or Buyer because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that will be suffered in connection therewith, that each party would be irreparably damaged in the event any such obligation of the other party is not performed in accordance with its specific terms and that each party shall be entitled to equitable relief (including injunction and specific performance) in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having subject matter jurisdiction, as a remedy, for any breach or to prevent any breach of such provisions.

Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Business to Buyer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.04 shall be construed (i) as an indication that Buyer or Seller has determined that any bulk sale or

25 transfer law is applicable to the sale of the Business or (ii) to undermine Seller’s absolute obligation to pay the Retained Liabilities.

Section 7.05. Notices.

Form of Escrow Agreement

Escrow Agreement

This Escrow Agreement is dated as of September 15, 2008 (the “Agreement”) and is among KEMET Electronics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer Parent”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), between Seller and Siliconix Technology C.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer Parent (“Buyer”), Buyer Parent has agreed to deliver to the Escrow Agent One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (together with any interest, earnings and income accrued thereon from time to time, collectively, the “Escrow Amount”).

WHEREAS, Buyer Parent is authorized to act on behalf of Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Escrow Amount shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good, fair and valuable considerations and reasonably equivalent value, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the Escrow Agent , Seller and Buyer Parent do agree as follows, intending to be legally bound:

Section 1. Establishment of Escrow Account

(a) Buyer Parent, on behalf of Buyer, hereby deposits with the Escrow Agent via wire transfer of immediately available funds the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent accepts said sum and agrees to establish and maintain a separate account (the “Escrow Account”) therefore in its capacity as Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Seller and Buyer Parent shall each furnish the Escrow Agent with a completed Form W-9, as applicable.

Section 2. Investments

(a) The Escrow Agent agrees to invest and reinvest funds in the Escrow Account, but only upon its receipt of joint written instructions and directions as may from time to time be provided to the Escrow Agent from Buyer Parent and Seller.

(b) The parties recognize and agree that the Escrow Agent will not provide supervision, recommendations or advice relating to either the investment of moneys held in the Escrow Account or the purchase, sale, retention or other disposition of any permitted investment.

(c) Interest and other earnings on permitted investments shall be added to the Escrow Account. Any loss or expense incurred as a result of an investment will be borne by the Escrow Account. In the event that the Escrow Agent does not receive written direction to invest funds held in the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall invest such funds in the Xxxxx Fargo Bank Money Market Deposit Account (MMDA), or a successor or similar fund or account offered by the Escrow Agent. Amounts on deposit in the MMDA are insured up to a total of $100,000 per depositor, per insured bank (including principal and accrued interest) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the FDIC. The parties understand that deposits in the MMDA are not secured.

(d) The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of permitted investments through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations or those of any affiliated entity. The Escrow Agent shall send statements to each of the parties hereto on a monthly basis reflecting activity in the Escrow Account for the preceding month. Although Seller and Buyer Parent each recognizes that it may obtain a broker confirmation or written statement containing comparable information at no additional cost, Seller and Buyer Parent hereby agree that confirmations of permitted investments are not required to be issued by the Escrow Agent for each month in which a monthly statement is rendered. No statement need be rendered for the Escrow Account if no activity occurred for such month.

(e) Seller and Buyer Parent acknowledge and agree that the delivery of the escrowed property is subject to the sale and final settlement of permitted investments. Proceeds of a sale of permitted investments will be delivered on the business day on which the appropriate instructions are delivered to the Escrow Agent if received prior to the deadline for same day sale of such permitted investments. If such instructions are received after the applicable deadline, proceeds will be delivered on the next succeeding business day.

Section 3. Disbursement of Escrow Account

(a) If Buyer Parent seeks payment from the Escrow Amount on account of the indemnification obligations of Seller to Buyer under Article VI of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer Parent shall deliver a written notice (a “Buyer Parent Claim Notice”) to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to Seller, stating (i) in reasonable detail the basis for its claim for payment and (ii) the amount of such claim.

(b) Within three (3) business days of receipt of the Buyer Parent Claim Notice, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Seller of receipt of the Buyer Parent Claim Notice, enclosing a copy of such Buyer Parent Claim Notice. If within thirty (30) calendar days (any such period after the deemed receipt of a Buyer Parent Claim Notice by the Escrow Agent, an “Objection Period”) after the deemed receipt of the Buyer Parent Claim Notice by Seller, the Escrow Agent has not received a written statement (any such statement disputing a Buyer Parent Claim Notice, an “Objection Notice”) from Seller disputing Buyer Parent’s right to indemnification (or disputing any portion of the claims in Buyer Parents Claim Notice), the Escrow Agent shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) business days, pay to Buyer Parent out of the Escrow Amount the amount specified in the Buyer Parent Claim Notice.

(c) If, during the Objection Period, Seller objects to the Buyer Parent Claim Notice as aforesaid, Seller shall send an Objection Notice to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to Buyer Parent, stating in reasonable detail the basis for Seller’s objection and the amount of the claim in the Buyer Parent Claim Notice that it disputes. Upon receipt of the Seller’s Objection Notice, the Escrow Agent shall retain the amount of the Buyer Parent Claim Notice subject to dispute, and shall, in its sole discretion, (x) continue to hold such amount pending receipt of joint instructions from Buyer Parent and Seller or a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) deposit such Escrow Amount with a court of competent jurisdiction. Following such time as the Escrow Agent has deposited the disputed amount with a court of competent jurisdiction as provided in this Section, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligations or responsibilities under this Escrow Agreement, with respect to the portion of the Escrow Amount deposited with such court.

(d) Within three (3) business days of March 15, 2010, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Escrow Amount (the “Seller Escrow Balance”), less any amount that is subject to a pending Buyer Parent Claim Notice as to which an Objection Notice has been timely received or as to which the Objection Period has not lapsed, which amount shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement, and less any amount that is subject to a pending Buyer Parent Claim Notice as to which an Objection Notice has not been timely received and with respect to which the Objection Period has lapsed, which amount shall be paid to Buyer Parent. Following such time as the Escrow Agent has disbursed the full remaining amount of the Seller Escrow Balance, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligations or responsibilities, with respect to the Escrow Amount, under this Escrow Agreement.

(e) In the event that the Escrow Agent shall commence any proceeding to deposit an Escrowed Amount with a court of competent jurisdiction, Buyer Parent and Seller hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court and waive any and all rights to contests the jurisdiction of said court.
