NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SALE OF SHARES AND CLOSING

1.01 Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created by Purchaser), all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Shares at the Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.02 Base Purchase Price. The aggregate base purchase price for the Shares is $240,000,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”), which amount, minus the Holdback Amount, shall be (i) payable in immediately available funds in the manner provided in Section 1.03 and (ii) subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.04.

1.03 Pre-Closing; Closing; Escrow.

(a) The Pre-Closing will take place at the offices of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, or at such other place as Purchaser and Seller mutually agree, at 10:00 A.M., local time, on the Pre-Closing Date.

Each of the items referred to in subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 1.03(a) shall be held by counsel to Purchaser strictly to the order of Seller and Parent and on terms that neither Seller nor Parent shall be bound by the terms of the Escrow Agreement or other Contracts so delivered unless and until Closing occurs. In the event that Closing does not take place, each of the items referred to in subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 1.03(a) shall be returned to Seller and Parent forthwith by counsel to Purchaser. In addition, at the Pre-Closing, Purchaser will execute and deliver to counsel to Parent: (iv) the Escrow Agreement; and (v) any other certificates and other Contracts, documents and instruments to be delivered by Purchaser to Parent and/or Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each of the items referred to in subparagraphs (iv) and (v) of this Section 1.03(a) shall be held by counsel to Parent strictly to the order of Purchaser and on terms that Purchaser shall not be bound by the terms of the Escrow Agreement or other Contracts so delivered unless and until Closing occurs. In the event that Closing does not take place, each of the items referred to in subparagraphs (iv) and (v) of this Section 1.03(a) shall be returned to Purchaser forthwith by counsel to Parent.

(b) The Closing will take place at the offices of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, or at such other place as Purchaser and Seller mutually agree, immediately following satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 6.11 (Shareholder Approval). At the Closing, Purchaser will pay the Base Purchase Price, minus the Holdback Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Seller may reasonably direct by written notice delivered to Purchaser by Seller at least two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date, provided that $25,000,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) of the Base Purchase Price shall be delivered by Purchaser by wire transfer of

immediately available funds to Citibank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) under an escrow agreement to be entered into on the Closing Date by Seller, Parent and Purchaser and the Escrow Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”) to satisfy any claims for Losses suffered by Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article VIII or Article X. In addition, each of the items referred to in subparagraphs (iv) and (v) of Section 1.03(a) shall be unconditionally released and delivered to Seller and Parent.

At the Closing, there shall also be delivered to Seller and Purchaser the certificates to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.03, 6.09 (if requested by Purchaser), and 7.03.

1.04 Final Purchase Price; Net Worth Adjustment.

(a) In the event that the amount of the Closing Net Worth is (i) greater than the Reference Net Worth, the Base Purchase Price shall be increased, dollar for dollar, by the amount by which the Closing Net Worth exceeds the Reference Net Worth, or (ii) less than the Reference Net Worth, the Base Purchase Price shall be decreased, dollar for dollar, by the amount by which the Reference Net Worth exceeds the Closing Net Worth (such increase or decrease, as applicable, referred to herein as the “Net Worth Adjustment”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Net Worth Adjustment exceed the Holdback Amount. The Base Purchase Price, as so increased or decreased, is referred to herein as the “Final Purchase Price”.

(b) In order to conclusively determine the Closing Net Worth and the Net Worth Adjustment, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date), Purchaser will prepare, and cause Purchaser’s accountants to audit, the Company’s balance sheet as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”). Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s accountants in connection with the preparation and audit of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, and Seller shall provide Purchaser and Purchaser’s accountants with reasonable access to any of its books, records, schedules, analyses, working papers and other information relating to the Company. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP from the Books and Records applying, in all material respects, the accounting principles used to determine the Reference Net Worth and as applied in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements. Set forth as Annex A hereto is the schedule of assets and liabilities of the Company as of December 31, 2007 used in determining the Reference Net Worth.

(c) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which the Closing Date Balance Sheet is due (i) the Closing Date Balance Sheet, (ii) a statement of the calculation of the Closing Net Worth and (iii) a statement of the calculation of the resulting Net Worth Adjustment (collectively, the “Net Worth Statement”). The Net Worth Statement shall be final and binding on the parties, and deemed accepted by Seller unless, within sixty (60) days after Seller’s receipt thereof, Seller provides Purchaser with a written notice of objection to the Net Worth Statement (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail each item on the Net Worth Statement that Seller disputes and the nature of any objection so asserted. Any items not specifically identified in the Objection Notice shall be deemed

accepted by Seller. Purchaser agrees that during such 60-day period following Seller’s receipt of the Net Worth Statement, Seller and its representatives shall have, for purposes of evaluating the Net Worth Statement, reasonable access to properties and appropriate books, records, schedules, analyses, working papers and other information used in the preparation of the Net Worth Statement. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause Purchaser’s accountants to make all of its work papers underlying the review and audit of the Closing Date Balance Sheet reasonably available to Seller and its representatives and to consult in good faith with Seller and its representatives during such period.

(d) During the 60-day period following the date on which the Objection Notice is received by Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to resolve any objections contained therein. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve the dispute within such 60-day period, then any disputed matter set forth in the Objection Notice which remains unresolved shall be submitted by Seller and Purchaser for a final determination to an independent accounting firm of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (or, if Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on such an accounting firm, then each shall select an accounting firm (other than an accountant of the parties hereto or their respective Affiliates) and such accounting firms shall select a third accounting firm (other than an accountant of the parties hereto or their respective Affiliates) (the accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser or by their selected accounting firms being the “Independent Accounting Firm”)). The Independent Accounting Firm shall, based solely on the presentations made by Seller and Purchaser and within sixty (60) days after its appointment, render a written report as to the resolution of each disputed matter set forth in the Objection Notice which remains outstanding, and as to the calculation of the Closing Net Worth, the Net Worth Adjustment and the Final Purchase Price. The Independent Accounting Firm shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Independent Accounting Firm shall be the sole recourse and remedy of the parties against one another or any other Person with respect to, any disputes arising out of or relating to the calculation of the Closing Net Worth, Net Worth Adjustment and the Final Purchase Price. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on all parties and shall be enforceable in a court of Law.

(e) The Independent Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. Each party shall otherwise bear its own costs and expenses associated with the resolution of such dispute, including the fees and expenses of their respective accountants and attorneys.

(f) The Final Purchase Price shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the earlier of (i) the failure by Seller to object thereto within the period permitted under, and otherwise in accordance with, the requirements of Section 1.04(c), (ii) the written agreement between Purchaser and Seller with respect thereto or (iii) the decision by the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to disputes under Section 1.04(d).

(g) If the Base Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct the Adjustment Amount from the Holdback Amount and shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Purchase Price has become final and binding under Section 1.04(f), pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds the amount of the Holdback Amount remaining following such deduction, if any, plus interest accrued thereon (at

the Interest Rate) from the Closing Date to, but not including, the date of actual payment, to such account as Seller may reasonably direct; provided, however, that if the Adjustment Amount exceeds the Holdback Amount, Purchaser’s sole recourse under this Section 1.04(g) shall be to retain the entire Holdback Amount.

(h) If the Final Purchase Price equals or exceeds the Base Purchase Price, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Purchase Price has become final and binding under Section 1.04(f), pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) the Holdback Amount and (ii) the Adjustment Amount, if any, plus interest accrued on such amounts (at the Interest Rate) from the Closing Date to, but not including, the date of actual payment, to such account as Seller may reasonably direct; provided, however, that in no event shall the Adjustment Amount exceed $10,000,000.

1.05 Further Assurances; Post-Closing Cooperation.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such other documents and instruments, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary, proper or advisable, to the extent permitted by Law, to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. Seller and Parent shall use best efforts from time to time after the Closing to execute and deliver to Purchaser such other documents and instruments, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as Purchaser may reasonably request more effectively to vest title to the Shares in Purchaser and, to the full extent permitted by Law, to put Purchaser in actual possession and operating control of the Company and its Assets and Properties and Books and Records, and otherwise to cause Seller and Parent to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Following the Closing, each party will afford the other party, its counsel and its accountants, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, reasonable access to the books, records and other data relating to the Business or Condition of the Company in its possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by the requesting party in connection with (i) compliance with the requirements of any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, (ii) the determination or enforcement of the rights and obligations of any party to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (iii) any actual or threatened Action or Proceeding (iv) the preparation of Tax Returns and (v) the Members Voluntary Liquidation. Further, each party agrees for a period extending for the earlier of (x) six (6) years after the Closing Date and (y) the final liquidation of Seller 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 shall not agree in writing to take possession thereof during the ten (10) day period after such offer is made.

(c) If, in order properly to prepare Tax Returns, documents or reports required to be filed with Governmental or Regulatory Authorities or its financial statements or to fulfill its obligations hereunder, it is necessary that a party be furnished with additional information, documents or records relating to the Business or Condition of the Company not referred to in paragraph (b) above, and such information, documents or records are in the

possession or control of the other party, such other party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or make available such information, documents or records (or copies thereof) during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice at the recipient’s request, cost and expense. Any information obtained by Seller or Parent in accordance with this paragraph shall be held confidential by Seller and Parent in accordance with Section 13.05.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.05, if the parties are in an adversarial relationship in litigation or arbitration, the furnishing of information, documents or records in accordance with any provision of this Section 1.05 shall be subject to applicable rules relating to discovery.

4.14 Parent Shareholder Approval.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days), Parent shall submit to the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority, being the competent authority under Part VI of the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 (the “FSA”) a draft of the circular (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any other related materials, the “Circular”) addressed to its shareholders convening a general meeting (the “Parent Shareholder Meeting”) to approve the Shareholder Resolutions, together with all other documents required to be lodged with the FSA before it will approve a circular relating to a Class 1 transaction under the Listing Rules; and use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval of the Circular as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to such submission of the Circular and any supplement thereto, Parent shall reasonably cooperate and provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Circular, and to approve any reference to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and the form and context in which any such reference in the Circular appears. Purchaser agrees, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to provide such information to Parent concerning Purchaser and its Affiliates as may be reasonably required to be disclosed in the Circular and any required supplement thereto. If any event with respect to Purchaser, or with respect to information supplied by Purchaser expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Circular, shall occur which is required to be described in an amendment or supplement to the Circular, Purchaser shall promptly advise Parent and cooperate with Parent in connection with the preparation of any materials required to be filed with the FSA in connection therewith. Parent shall cause the Circular, as so corrected, to be filed with the FSA and to be disseminated to its shareholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Law.

(b) Promptly following receipt of the requisite FSA approval in accordance with Section 4.14(a), and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, Parent shall take all actions necessary in accordance with applicable Laws and the articles of association of Parent (which shall not be amended in any material respect prior to the Parent Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to post the Circular to its shareholders convening the Parent Shareholder Meeting to approve the transactions contemplated herein and cause the Shareholder Resolutions to be properly proposed and voted upon by shareholders of Parent at the Parent Shareholder Meeting, and shall not cancel or adjourn the Parent Shareholder Meeting or change any of the resolutions contained in the Circular without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the Parent Shareholder Meeting shall be adjourned if and to the extent necessary to ensure that all of the consents, approvals, actions, filings, notices or waiting periods described in or related to Sections 6.05 to 6.09 (inclusive), 6.12, 7.04 to 7.06 (inclusive) shall have been obtained, made or given, or have expired, as applicable, prior to the commencement of the Parent Shareholder Meeting. Subject to Section 4.14(d), the Circular shall contain the Board Recommendation (which recommendation shall state that in giving their recommendation, the directors on the Parent Board have been advised by the financial advisors to Parent).

(c) The Parent Board shall not (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Purchaser, the Board’s Recommendation, (ii) take

any action or make any statement in connection with the Parent Shareholder Meeting inconsistent in any material respect with the Board Recommendation, (iii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, or fail to recommend against, any Acquisition Proposal (any and all of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), referred to herein as a “Change of Recommendation”).

(d) Notwithstanding Section 4.14(c), the Parent Board may make a Change of Recommendation if:

(i) it receives an unsolicited and bona fide Acquisition Proposal in writing that did not result from or arise from a breach of Section 4.04(a);

(ii) the Parent Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with, and based on the advice of, its legal and financial advisers, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and the failure to make a Change of Recommendation would be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the directors on the Parent Board or would violate their obligations to the extent applicable under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the Companies Xxx 0000, the Companies Xxx 0000, the rules and regulations of the UKLA or any other applicable Laws or regulations or rules of a regulatory body;

(iii) Purchaser has received written notice from Seller and Parent (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such Change of Recommendation, which notice shall (A) expressly state that Parent and Seller have received an Acquisition Proposal which the Parent Board has concluded is a Superior Proposal and that Parent and Seller intend to effect a Change of Recommendation and the manner in which Parent and Seller intend or may intend to do so, and (B) include the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and a copy of the most current version of the agreement relating to such Acquisition Proposal, provided that any material amendment to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a Change of Recommendation Notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Change of Recommendation;

(iv) during any such notice period, Parent and Seller and their advisors have negotiated in good faith with Purchaser to make amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(v) such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn and continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (taking into account all changes to the terms of this Agreement agreed to by Purchaser);

provided that nothing in this Section 4.14(d) shall be construed as limiting or otherwise qualifying Parent’s obligations under Section 4.14(b).

(e) Notwithstanding Section 4.14(d), Parent will submit the Shareholder Resolutions for approval by its shareholders at the Parent Shareholder Meeting even if the Parent Board makes a Change of Recommendation.

(f) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days), Parent shall file a preliminary proxy statement that will be provided to the shareholders of Parent in connection with the solicitation of proxies from shareholders at the Parent Shareholder Meeting relating to the Shareholder Resolutions (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) with the SEC, and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and furnish the information required to be included by it in the Proxy Statement and, after consultation with Purchaser, respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Preliminary Proxy Statement and any subsequent version thereof and cause a definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”, and together with the Preliminary Proxy Statement, accompanying letter to shareholders, notice of meeting, form of proxy and schedules or other materials included therewith, each, as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) to be mailed to its shareholders as soon as is reasonably practicable following the date hereof; provided, however, that prior to such submission of the Preliminary Proxy Statement and the Definitive Proxy Statement and any supplements thereto, Parent shall reasonably cooperate and provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Preliminary Proxy Statement and Definitive Proxy Statement and any such supplements and to approve any reference to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates therein and the form and context in which any such reference appears (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Purchaser agrees, as promptly as practicable, to provide all information to Parent concerning Purchaser and its Affiliates reasonably requested by Parent.

(g) (i) Parent shall promptly notify Purchaser upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide Purchaser with copies of all material correspondence between it and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Proxy Statement and shall use reasonable efforts to consult with Purchaser prior to responding to such comments.

(ii) If at any time prior to the Parent Shareholder Meeting, any information relating to Parent, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent or Seller which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent or Seller, should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, Parent shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, and the parties shall cooperate in Parent’s preparation of an appropriate amendment or supplement to be filed with the SEC (which shall include Parent providing Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment prior to filing any amendment or supplement). Parent shall cause such Proxy Statement, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to its shareholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Laws.

(iii) If any event with respect to Purchaser, or with respect to information supplied by Purchaser expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement, shall occur which is required to be described in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, Purchaser shall promptly advise Parent and cooperate with Parent in connection with the preparation of any materials required to be filed with the SEC in connection therewith.

4.16 Payment of Receivables after Closing. If, after the Closing, either Seller or Parent receives any payments in respect of any receivables of or relating to the business or operations of the Company, Seller and Parent shall, or shall cause the applicable party to, promptly deliver such payment to Purchaser immediately after such receipt.

4.17 Fulfillment of Conditions. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller and Parent will execute and deliver at the Closing the Escrow Agreement, will take all commercially reasonable steps necessary or desirable and proceed diligently and in good faith to satisfy each condition to the obligations of Purchaser contained in this Agreement and will not, and will not permit the Company to, take or fail to take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the nonfulfillment of any such condition.

Purchaser will notify Seller in writing of, and contemporaneously will provide Seller with true and complete copies of any and all information or documents relating to, and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cure before the Closing, any event, transaction or circumstance, as soon as practicable after it becomes known to Purchaser, occurring after the date of this Agreement that causes or will cause any covenant or agreement of Purchaser under this Agreement to be breached or that renders or will render untrue any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement as if the same were made on or as of the date of such event, transaction or circumstance. No notice given pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall have any effect on the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining satisfaction of any condition contained herein or shall in any way limit Seller’s right to seek indemnity under Article VIII or Article X.

5.05 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide (or cause its Affiliates to provide) to all Company Employees to the extent that they continue their employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates following the Closing Date with compensation and employee benefits that are comparable in the aggregate to either (i) those provided to the Company Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date or (ii) those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser following the Closing Date. With respect to comparable employee benefit plans maintained by Purchaser, for all purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting, and for determination of levels of benefits for purposes of determining the amount of paid time off, vacation, sick pay, and severance (but not for benefit accrual), a Company Employee’s service with the Company shall be recognized under the comparable Company plan and treated as service with Purchaser; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits. Following the Closing Date, for purposes of each employee benefit plan in which any Company Employee or his or her eligible dependents is eligible to participate after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (i) waive any pre-existing condition, exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period to the extent such condition, exclusion, requirement or waiting period was satisfied or waived under the comparable employee benefit plan of the Company as of the Closing Date, except to the extent not permitted under applicable insurance contracts for life and long-term disability insurance, and (ii) provide full credit for any co-payments, deductibles or similar payments made or incurred prior to the Closing Date for the plan year in which the Closing occurs. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way Purchaser’s right, following the Closing Date, to modify the terms and conditions of employment of any Company Employee or to terminate the employment of any Company Employee at any time.

(b) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide severance payments and benefits to eligible Company Employees on a basis no less favorable to such employees than benefits determined under with the terms of Company’s Severance Pay Policy, as in effect on the date of this Agreement and as set forth in Section 5.05(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, and for purposes thereof, a Company Employee’s service with the Company or any Affiliate shall be treated as service with Purchaser.

(c) At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller in cash $5,172,000, which amount will be used by Seller and Parent to pay the severance and change of control amounts on the Closing Date described in the Change of Control Arrangements listed in (and in the amounts set forth in) Section 4.08(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that if any individual who is listed in Section 4.08(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule fails to execute and deliver, prior to the Closing, a consent and release substantially in the form set forth in Section 4.08(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, then such amount shall be reduced by the amount(s) set forth under such individual’s Change of Control Arrangement(s) listed in (and in the amount(s) set forth in) Section 4.08(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule. In addition to the foregoing, from and following the Closing, Purchaser shall provide, or shall continue to provide the non-cash benefits described in Section 4.08(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule to the individuals listed therein; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to provide or continue to provide such benefits to any such individual unless and until such individual has executed and delivered the consent and release described in the foregoing sentence.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.05 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any Company Employees), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 5.05) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

5.06 Letters of Credit. Purchaser shall, with respect to each letter of credit described on Section 5.06 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Existing Letters of Credit”), either (a) cause replacement letters of credit to be issued to the beneficiaries of such Existing Letter of Credit, obtain the originals of such Existing Letter of Credit from the beneficiary thereof to return to General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”) and deliver to GE each such Existing Letter of Credit on or prior to the Closing or (b) provide arrangements satisfactory to the entity that issued such Existing Letter of Credit in the form of cash collateral, back-up letters of credit or other credit support, in each case in a manner consented to by GE such that GE will deliver to Danka on the Closing Date an unconditional release of all of the obligations of the Company and Seller with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit, including without limitation, all such obligations under the Danka Credit Facility.

TAX MATTERS AND POST-CLOSING TAXES

8.01 Tax Filings.

(a) Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed (including valid extensions), all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Company (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”), and shall pay or cause to be paid when due in accordance with Section 8.04(a) (and without duplication thereof), all Taxes required to be paid by or with respect to the Company, for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Taxes” and any such period a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), but only to the extent that such Pre-Closing Taxes exceed the accruals for any such Taxes taken into account in calculating the Net Worth Adjustment. Seller shall prepare all Pre-Closing Tax Returns

consistent with its prior practices, except as otherwise required by Law, and shall provide each Pre-Closing Tax Return to Purchaser and the Company no later than twenty (20) days prior to the due date for filing any such Pre-Closing Tax Return and will in good faith consider any comments that Purchaser or the Company may have with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Seller will not amend any Pre-Closing Tax Return without the written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser will, or will cause the Company to, prepare pro forma United States federal income Tax Returns with respect to the Company (“Pro Forma Returns”) for the taxable year ending March 31, 2008 (to the extent not previously prepared and provided by Seller), and for the short Tax period beginning on April 1, 2008, and ending on the Closing Date, for the purpose of allowing Seller to file Pre-Closing Tax Returns. The Pro Forma Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company’s past practice (except as otherwise required by Law). Purchaser or the Company shall deliver the Pro Forma Returns to Seller in a time and manner consistent with past practice, and each of Purchaser and the Company shall provide any information or assistance requested by Seller with respect to the Pro Forma Returns that is required, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, to prepare and file any Pre-Closing Tax Return. Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser or the Company for any third-party fees relating to such preparation.

(b) Purchaser shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company required to be filed after the Closing Date, other than any Pre-Closing Tax Returns, and shall pay (or cause to be paid) in accordance with Section 8.04(b) (and without duplication thereof), any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. With respect to any Tax Returns filed with respect to any Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), Purchaser shall notify Seller of its share of any amounts due in respect of any such Tax Return no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is due (Seller’s share of Straddle Period Taxes to be determined pursuant to paragraph (e) below), and Seller shall remit such payment to Purchaser no later than five (5) days prior to the date such Tax Return is due.

(c) In the case of any Tax Return that is filed by Purchaser with respect to a Straddle Period, Purchaser shall prepare such Tax Return in a manner consistent with the Company and Seller’s past practice, except as otherwise required by Law, and shall deliver such Tax Return to Seller for its review at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed. If Seller disputes any item on such Tax Return, it shall notify Purchaser of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection. The parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed. If the parties cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by an Independent Accounting Firm mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. The fees, charges and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser.

(d) The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat a portion of any Straddle Period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date as a short taxable period. If applicable law does not permit the parties to treat the Closing Date as the end of a short taxable period, then, in the case of any Taxes of the Company that are payable with respect to Straddle Periods, the portion of any such Taxes that are attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts or imposed on a

transactional basis or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) outside the ordinary course of business, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date (except that, solely for purposes of determining the marginal Tax rate applicable to income or receipts during such period in a jurisdiction in which such Tax rate depends upon the level of income or receipts, annualized income or receipts shall be taken into account, if appropriate, for an equitable sharing of such Taxes); and (ii) in the case of other Taxes, be allocated pro rata per day between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning the day after the Closing Date.

(e) Except for the Code Section 338(h)(10) election described in Section 8.06, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause any entity over which it has direct or indirect voting control (including the Company) not to, amend any Tax Return or change or make Tax elections of or relating to the Company for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date or for any Tax period that begins before and ends after a Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that Seller shall be deemed to have consented if it does not object to a request from Purchaser or the Company within ten (10) days of receipt and no such consent shall be required following the final liquidation of Seller. At Seller’s request, Purchaser shall cause the Company to make or join with Seller in making any other election if the making of such election would not have an adverse impact on Purchaser or the Company for any Post-Closing Tax period.

8.02 Tax Cooperation.

(a) Seller and Purchaser agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns and the preparation, prosecution, defense or conduct of any Contest. Such cooperation shall be at the requesting party’s expense, subject to the parties’ respective obligations described in Section 8.04. Any information obtained under this Section 8.02 shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest or other Tax proceeding. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall (a) use its reasonable best efforts to properly retain and maintain (or cause to be retained and maintained) the Tax and accounting records of the Company that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods for the earlier of (x) six (6) years after the Closing Date and (y) the final liquidation of Seller and each party shall thereafter provide the other party with written notice prior to any destruction, abandonment or disposition of all or any portions of such records, (b) transfer such records to the other party upon its written request prior to any such destruction, abandonment or disposition and (c) allow the other party and its affiliates and their respective agents and representatives, at times and dates reasonably and mutually acceptable to the parties, to from time to time inspect and review such records as such party may deem necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that in all cases, such activities are to be conducted during normal business hours and at the requesting party’s sole expense.

or (ii) attributable to an amount paid by Seller, in each case, except to the extent any such amount is taken into account in determining the Final Purchaser Price or to the extent of any Taxes for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04. Purchaser shall be entitled to all other refunds and credits of Taxes.

8.04 Tax Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, the Company and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, losses, damages, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs resulting from, arising out of or relating to (i) any Taxes, but only to the extent that such Taxes exceed the accruals for any such Taxes taken into account in calculating the Net Worth Adjustment, of or payable by the Company relating to (x) being included (or required to be included) on any Pre-Closing Tax Return, (y) any Pre-Closing Taxes and (z) that portion of any Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date (calculated as set forth in Section 8.01(d) above), (ii) any Taxes for which the Seller is liable under Section 8.07, and (iii) without duplication of amounts included in clauses (i) and (ii) any Taxes resulting from a breach of the representations in Section 2.12. The indemnity provided in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, any Tax liability arising by reason of the Company being severally liable for any Taxes of another person pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous state, local or foreign Tax provision, by contract as a transferee or otherwise, any Tax liability incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including Taxes resulting from the making of any elections pursuant to Code Section 338(h)(10) as provided in Section 8.06 hereof (other than Purchaser’s share of Taxes described in Section 8.07), and any Tax liability arising in connection with the payments to be made to Company employees pursuant to Section 4.08, including, those payments funded by Purchaser as set forth in Section 4.08 of the Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall have no liability under this Agreement in respect of Taxes of the Company relating to any taxable year beginning after the Closing Date which are attributable to any action of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Company after the Closing Date) that occurs after the Closing.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, and each of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, losses, damages, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs resulting from, arising out of or relating to (i) any Taxes of the Company relating to (x) any tax period beginning after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing Tax Periods”) and (y) that portion of any Straddle Period that begins after the Closing Date (calculated as set forth in Section 8.01(d) above), and (ii) any Taxes for which Purchaser is liable for under Section 8.07. The indemnity provided in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, any Tax liability arising by reason of the Company being severally liable for any Taxes of another person pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous state, local or foreign Tax provision, by contract as a transferee or otherwise.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, including those under this Section 8.04, shall be limited solely to those amounts held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall have no liability under this Agreement in respect of Taxes of the Company relating to any taxable year beginning after the Closing Date which are attributable to any action of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Company after the Closing Date) that occurs after the Closing.

8.05 Audits, Contests and Tax Indemnification Procedures.

(a) After the Closing, each party shall promptly notify the other party of any demand, claim or notice of the commencement of an audit received with respect to Taxes for which such Seller or Purchaser is liable pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that a party’s failure to give such notice will not affect the other party’s rights to indemnification under Section 8.04, except to the extent that the other party is materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax liability and shall include copies of the relevant portion of any notice or other document received from any Tax authority or any other Person in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

(b) At Seller’s request and expense, Purchaser shall contest (or cause to be contested), any asserted Tax liability for which Seller may have an indemnity obligation. If Seller so elects and Seller first acknowledges in writing its liability to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the Tax in question, Seller shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense, of any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability with respect to the Company (any such audit or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability referred to herein as a “Contest”) relating to Taxes for which Seller is exclusively liable pursuant to Section 8.04; provided that Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such Contest, including through counsel of its choosing, at its own expense. Seller shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any Contest relating to any Taxes for which Purchaser or the Company may be held liable (by applicable Law, contract or otherwise) without the consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any Contest relating to any Taxes for which the Seller may be held liable (by applicable Law, contract or otherwise) without the consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) In the case of a Contest that relates to a Straddle Period, Purchaser shall control the conduct of such Contest, but Seller shall have the right to participate in such Contest at its own expense, and Purchaser shall not settle, compromise and/or concede such Contest without the consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) Payment by Seller of any amount due under Section 8.04 of this Agreement shall be made within ten (10) days following written notice by Purchaser that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or other applicable third

party is due by Seller, provided that Seller shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five (5) days before it is due to the appropriate Tax authority or applicable third party. Payment by Purchaser of any amount due under Section 8.04 of this Agreement shall be made within ten (10) days following written notice by Seller that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or other applicable third party is due by Purchaser, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five (5) days before it is due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or applicable third party. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.05, payment of such contested Tax will not be considered due earlier than the date a “final determination” to such effect is made by such Governmental Authority. For this purpose, a “final determination” shall mean a settlement, compromise, or other agreement with the relevant Governmental Authority, a deficiency notice with respect to which the period for filing a petition with the Tax court or the relevant state, local or foreign tribunal has expired or a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal or as to which the time for appeal has expired.

8.06 Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) At Purchaser’s request, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly make a timely election described in Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder with respect to the Company (the “Purchased Company”) and any similar corresponding election under state, local or foreign law pursuant to which a separate election is permissible with respect to the Purchased Company (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”).

(b) In accordance with the procedures set forth below, a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) shall be prepared setting forth the “aggregate deemed sale price” and the “adjusted grossed-up basis” (each as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 338 of the Code) for the Company, and the allocation of such amounts among the assets of the Company and other relevant items. The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any comparable provisions of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate.

(c) The procedures for creating the Allocation Schedule shall be as follows: Purchaser shall prepare and deliver an Allocation Schedule to Seller within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date Purchaser delivers the Allocation Schedule to accept it or object to it in writing, specifying any objection and the reasons for the objection in reasonable detail. In the case of any objection by Seller, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith for no more than thirty (30) days to resolve their differences and, upon such resolution, if any, any adjustment to the Allocation schedule shall be made in accordance with the agreement of Seller and Purchaser. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any such dispute within the thirty-day period, the dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, and such determination shall be binding and final between the parties. Seller and Purchaser shall act in good faith to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible. The Independent Accounting Firm may rely only upon information submitted to it by Seller or Purchaser. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Seller and Purchaser a written report setting forth the resolution of each disputed matter within twenty (20) days of submission of the dispute to it. The fees, costs and expenses of retaining the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated by the Independent

Accounting Firm between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with the Independent Accounting Firm’s judgment as to the relative merits of each party’s position. If Seller does not deliver to Purchaser reasonable written objections on or before thirty one (31) days from the date that Purchaser delivers the Allocation Schedule, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the terms of the Allocation Schedule.

(d) To the extent that the Base Purchase Price is adjusted after the acceptance of the Allocation Schedule, (i) the “aggregate deemed sales price” and “adjusted grossed-up basis” (as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 338 of the Code) shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect such change, and (ii) Seller and Purchaser shall, to the extent required by applicable law, file amended Tax Returns and Section 338 Forms (defined below) consistent with such revised allocation.

(e) Seller and Purchaser (a) shall be bound by the Allocation Schedule, (b) shall prepare and file all Section 338 Forms in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, and (c) shall take no position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule in any Tax Return, any Tax proceeding before any Tax Authority or otherwise (except as required by law). In the event that a determination or allocation set forth in the Allocation Schedule is disputed by a Tax Authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify the other party of such dispute. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Purchased Company, to cooperate in good faith with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such Tax Returns as may be required) to effect and preserve a timely Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, and, if applicable, any comparable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax law.

(f) Seller and Purchaser shall each prepare all Tax Returns, including any Forms 8883 and other statements (together, the “Section 338 Forms”), other than Form 8023 which shall be executed at Closing, as provided under applicable law, in accordance with (i) the Allocation Schedule and (ii) the terms of this Agreement, and shall deliver such Section 338 Forms to the other party for their review and comment. Seller and Purchaser shall act in good faith to execute within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date any and all of the Section 338 Forms appropriate and necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election to the extent practicable. If Seller and Purchaser do not agree with respect to the Section 338 Forms, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to resolve their differences with respect to the Section 338 Forms and upon such resolution, if any, any adjustment to the Section 338 Forms shall be made in accordance with the agreement of Seller and Purchaser. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any such dispute within the thirty-day period, the dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, and such determination shall be binding and final between the parties. Seller and Purchaser shall act in good faith to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible. The Independent Accounting Firm may rely only upon information submitted to it by Seller or Purchaser. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Seller and Purchaser a written report setting forth the resolution of each disputed matter within twenty (20) days of submission of the dispute to it. The fees, costs and expenses of retaining the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated by the Independent Accounting Firm between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with its judgment as to the relative merits of each party’s position. In no event shall any such dispute prevent the timely filing of the Section 338(h)(10) Election. Seller

and Purchaser shall each cause the Section 338 Forms to be duly executed by the proper authorized persons for executing such Section 338 Forms and shall duly and timely file, or have duly and timely filed, the Section 338 Forms in accordance with applicable Tax laws and the terms of this Agreement.

8.07 Transfer Taxes. All state, local and foreign real or personal property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees or similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid equally by Purchaser and Seller and remitted by Purchaser when due. Purchaser shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns relating to Transfer Tax that are required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and if required by applicable law, Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any required Tax Returns. The costs and expenses associated with such filings shall be borne equally by the Parties. The parties shall cooperate in connection with the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes.

8.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. It is the intention of the parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

8.09 Survival of Obligations. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Article VIII and Article X (including any claim for indemnification relating to Taxes that could be made under Article VIII and Article X), Article VIII shall govern and control.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

9.01 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller, Parent and Purchaser contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing until four (4) years from the Closing Date except that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that would otherwise terminate as set forth above will continue to survive if a Claim Notice or Indemnity Notice (as applicable) shall have been timely given in good faith based on facts reasonably expected to establish a valid claim under Article X (on or prior to such termination date), until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in Article X.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.01 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.01 and the other Sections of this Article X, Seller and Parent shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Purchaser

Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of representation or warranty (other than any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller and Parent in Section 2.12, as to which Section 8.04 shall govern) or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement (other than any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Seller in Article VIII, as to which Article VIII shall govern) on the part of Seller or Parent contained in this Agreement (determined in all cases as if the terms “material” or “materially” were not included therein).

(b) Subject to the other Sections of this Article X, Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of representation or warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

(c) No amount or amounts shall be payable in the case of a claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 10.01(a):

(i) (A) unless the amount of the Losses incurred as to any individual claim or series of related individual claims exceeds $25,000 and (B) unless and until and then only to the extent that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties have suffered, incurred, sustained or become subject to Losses referred to in such Section in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate (in determining whether this aggregate threshold has been satisfied, only Losses exceeding the per claim threshold set forth in the foregoing clause (A) shall be included); provided, however, that the total payments from Seller or Parent to Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of all claims made under this Section 10.01 and Section 8.04 shall be limited to the amounts held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement;

(ii) to the extent that the Purchaser Indemnified Party had a reasonable opportunity, but failed, to mitigate the Loss;

(iii) to the extent that the Purchaser Indemnified Party has recovered payment under a policy of insurance or under a contractual right of set off or indemnity; or

(iv) to the extent it arises directly from or was caused directly by actions taken or unreasonably failed to be taken (other than mitigation of such Loss, which shall be governed by Section 10.01(c)(ii)) by the Purchaser Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates after the Closing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, including those under this Section 10.01 and Section 8.04, shall be limited solely to those amounts held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

10.02 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under Section 10.01 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 10.01 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than Purchaser, Seller or Parent or any Affiliate of Purchaser, Seller or Parent (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice setting forth in reasonable detail the specific facts and circumstances pertaining thereto with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim will be limited to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been materially prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 10.01 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.02(a), then the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full). The Indemnifying Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) any settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (i), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel to represent it in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this clause (i), and the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such separate counsel, except as provided in the preceding sentence and except that the Indemnifying Party will pay the costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (x) in the Indemnified Party’s good faith judgment, it is

advisable, based on advice of counsel, for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel because a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or (y) the named parties to such Third Party Claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith, based on advice of counsel, that defenses are available to it that are unavailable to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may retain or take over the control of the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has elected to control if the Indemnified Party irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under Section 10.01 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.02(a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle 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 vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) any settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause (iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party will reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation.

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under Section 10.01 or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Loss arising from such Third Party Claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 10.01 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final

determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 10.01 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the Loss arising from the claim specified in such Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 10.01 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.03 Insurance Offset. If the amount of any indemnifiable Losses, at any time following the payment of an indemnification obligation, is offset or reduced by the payment of any insurance proceeds, the amount of such insurance proceeds, less any costs, expenses, premiums or taxes incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to any future increase in insurance premiums, retroactive premiums, costs associated with any loss of insurance and replacement thereof or self-insured component of such insurance coverage) will promptly be repaid to the Indemnifying Party. In order to mitigate any of Purchaser’s indemnifiable Losses following the Closing, the Company shall file with the applicable insurance carriers any insurance claims relating to Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder.

10.04 Exclusivity. After the Closing, to the extent permitted by Law, the indemnities set forth in Article VIII and this Article X hereto shall be the exclusive remedies of Purchaser, Parent and Seller and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates for any breach of this Agreement, and the parties shall not be entitled to, and hereby waive their rights to, a rescission of this Agreement or to any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect of any such breach of this Agreement.

5. Concerning the Escrow Agent.

(a) Escrow Agent Duties. Each Interested Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and no duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be inferred or implied, (ii) the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any of the agreements referred to or described herein (including without limitation the Stock Purchase Agreement), or for determining or compelling compliance therewith, and shall not otherwise be bound thereby,

A-4

(iii) subject to Section 21 hereof, this Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements in regard thereto, (iv) the Escrow Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder and (v) the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder which might in its judgment involve or cause it to incur any expense or liability unless it shall have been furnished with acceptable indemnification.

(b) Standard of Care. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to afford the Escrow Property any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any damage, loss or injury resulting from any action taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable (i) for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or special losses or damages, regardless of the form of action and whether or not any such losses or damages were foreseeable or contemplated, (ii) for the acts or omissions of any nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians (not resulting from its or their bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (iii) for the investment or reinvestment of any Escrow Property, or any liquidation of such investment or reinvestment, executed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any liability for any delays (not resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction) in the investment or reinvestment of the Escrow Property, any loss of interest incident to any such delays, or any loss or penalty as a result of the liquidation of any investment before its stated maturity date.

(d) Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, instruction, notice, instrument, consent, authorization, receipt, power of attorney, e-mail, .pdf or other writing delivered to it without being required to determine the authenticity or validity thereof, or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof or the jurisdiction of the court issuing any judgment or order. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(e) Consultation. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it, and the opinion or advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with the opinion and advice of such counsel.

6. Compensation, Expense Reimbursement and Indemnification.

(a) Compensation: Each of the Interested Parties covenants and agrees to pay the Escrow Agent’s fees and all reasonable expenses specified in Schedule A and incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the payment of such fees and expenses shall be shared equally by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller and

A-5

Parent, on the other hand. In the event that such fees or expenses, or any other obligations owed to the Escrow Agent (or its counsel) are not paid to the Escrow Agent within 30 calendar days following the presentment of an invoice for the payment of such fees and expenses or the demand for such payment, then the Escrow Agent may, without further action or notice, pay such fees from the Escrow Property and may sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any Escrow Property for such purpose; provided, that if the Buyer has not paid its portion of such fees and the Escrow Agent pays itself from the Escrow Property, the Buyer shall promptly pay such fees into the Escrow Account and provided, further that if the Seller and Parent have not paid their portion of such fees and the Escrow Agent pays itself from the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall deduct such amount from the amount disbursed to the Seller and Parent pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) through (iii) of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may in its sole discretion withhold from any distribution of the Escrow Property an amount of such distribution it reasonably believes would, upon sale or liquidation, produce proceeds equal to any unpaid amounts to which the Escrow Agent is entitled hereunder.

(b) Indemnification: Each of the Interested Parties covenants and agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its employees, officers and directors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for, hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and defend each Indemnified Party against, any and all claims, losses, actions, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses of any nature incurred by the Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or with the administration of its duties hereunder, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, tax liabilities (other than income tax liabilities associated with the Escrow Agent’s fees), any liabilities or damages that may result from any inaccuracy or misrepresentation made in any tax certification provided to the Escrow Agent, and other costs and expenses of defending or preparing to defend against any claim of liability, except to the extent such loss, liability, damage, cost and expense shall be caused by the Indemnified Party’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

7. Dispute Resolution. In the event of any disagreement among any of the Interested Parties to this Agreement, or between any of them and any other person, resulting in adverse claims or demands being made with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, or in the event that the Escrow Agent, in good faith, is in doubt as to any action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands and refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt exists, and in any such event, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any way or to any person for its failure or refusal to act, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to so refuse to act and refrain from acting until (i) the rights of all parties having or claiming an interest in the Escrow Property or the Escrow Account shall have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or all differences and doubts shall have been resolved by agreement among all of the Interested Parties, and (ii) the Escrow Agent shall, in the case of adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, have received a final order, judgment or decree by such court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment or decree is not subject to appeal, and in the case of resolution of differences and doubts by agreement, have received a notice in writing signed by an Authorized Person (as defined below) of each of the Interested Parties setting forth in detail the agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have the option, after 30

A-6

calendar days’ notice to the Interested Parties of its intention to do so, to file an action in interpleader requiring the Interested Parties hereto to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and be the joint and several obligation of, the Interested Parties. The rights of the Escrow Agent under this Section 7 are cumulative of all other rights which it may have by law or otherwise.

8. Exclusive Benefit. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors, and shall not be deemed to give, either expressly or implicitly, any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim to any other entity or person whatsoever. No party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties except that the Escrow Agent may resign upon the terms described in this Agreement.

9. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any obligation hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond its control (including, without limitation, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, any act of God or war or terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire services or any electronic communication facility).

10. Resignation and Removal.

(a) The Interested Parties may jointly remove the Escrow Agent at any time by giving to the Escrow Agent thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice of removal signed by an Authorized Person of each of the Interested Parties. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving to each of the Interested Parties thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice of resignation.

(b) Within thirty (30) calendar days after giving the foregoing notice of removal to the Escrow Agent or within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the foregoing notice of resignation from the Escrow Agent, the Interested Parties shall jointly and promptly appoint a successor escrow agent, enter into an agreement with such successor escrow agent in substantially the form of this Agreement and give notice of such successor escrow agent to the Escrow Agent. If a successor escrow agent has not accepted such appointment by the end of such (i) 30-day period, in the case of the Escrow Agent’s removal, or (ii) 30-day period, in the case of the Escrow Agent’s resignation, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief.

(c) Upon receipt of notice of the identity of the successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall either deliver the Escrow Property then held hereunder to the successor escrow agent, less the Escrow Agent’s fees, costs, expenses and the value of other obligations owed to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or hold such Escrow Property (or any portion thereof) pending distribution, until all such fees, costs and expenses or the value of other obligations are paid to it.

A-7

(d) Upon delivery of the Escrow Property to the successor escrow agent and to an Interested Party, if applicable, the Escrow Agent shall have no further duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder. The removal or resignation of the Escrow Agent shall not relieve the Escrow Agent of responsibility to account to the Interested Parties for funds received by the Escrow Agent prior to the effective date of such removal or resignation.

11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waivers.

(a) The parties agree (pursuant to section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York) that, to the extent such laws would otherwise not apply, this Agreement (including this choice-of-law provision) and the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and all controversies and disputes arising under, in connection with or in relation to this Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be wholly performed in the State of New York.

(b) The parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, City, County and State of New York, for any proceedings commenced regarding this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any interpleader proceeding or proceeding for the appointment of a successor escrow agent the Escrow Agent may commence pursuant to this Agreement. The parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts for the determination of all issues in such proceedings and irrevocably waive any objection to venue or inconvenient forum for any proceeding brought in any such court.

(c) The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agree not to plead or claim, any right of immunity from legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or judgment, from execution of judgment, or from any other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, and consents to such relief and enforcement against it, its assets and its revenues in any jurisdiction, in each case with respect to any matter arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement.

(d) The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any right to trial by jury with respect to any proceeding relating to this Agreement.

12. Instructions, Verification, Communications.

(a) All instructions required under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent in writing, in English, in facsimile form and, if so requested by the Escrow Agent, an original, executed by an Authorized Person (as hereinafter defined) of each of the Interested Parties or an entity acting on its behalf. The identity of such Authorized Persons, as well as their

A-8

specimen signatures, title, telephone number and e-mail address, shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent in the list of authorized signers form as set forth on Schedule B and shall remain in effect until the applicable Interested Party, or an entity acting on its behalf, notifies Escrow Agent of any change thereto (the person(s) so designated from time to time, the “Authorized Persons”). The Escrow Agent and the Interested Parties agree that the above constitutes a commercially reasonable security procedure.

(b) In the event funds transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier, .pdf, e-mail, or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call back to the applicable person(s) specified to the Escrow Agent from time to time by an Authorized Person and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person(s) so designated. To ensure the accuracy of the instructions it receives, the Escrow Agent may record such call backs. If the Escrow Agent is unable to verify the instruction, or is not satisfied in its sole discretion with the verification it receives, it will not execute the instruction until all issues have been resolved to its satisfaction. The persons and telephone numbers for call backs may be changed only in writing, signed by an Authorized Person, actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. The Interested Parties to this Agreement acknowledge that these security procedures for funds transfers are commercially reasonable.

(c) To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When an account is opened, the Escrow Agent will ask for information that will allow the Escrow Agent to identify relevant parties. The Interested Parties hereby acknowledge such information disclosure requirements and agree to comply with all such information disclosure requests from time to time from the Escrow Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all email communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Escrow Agent that the Escrow Agent deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information shall be encrypted. The recipient (the “Email Recipient”) of the encrypted email communication will be required to complete a registration process. Instructions on how to register and/or retrieve an encrypted message will be included in the first secure email sent by the Escrow Agent to the Email Recipient. Additional information and assistance on using the encryption technology can be found at Citibank’s Secure Email website at xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxx.xxx or by calling (000) 000-0000 (in the U.S.) or (000) 000-0000.

(e) The provisions of this Section 12(a)-(d) may be amended by the Escrow Agent unilaterally upon notice to the Interested Parties.

(a) Any notice permitted or required hereunder shall be in writing in English, and shall be sent (i) by personal delivery, overnight delivery by a recognized courier or delivery service, or (ii) mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iii) confirmed telecopy accompanied by mailing of the original on the same day by first class mail, postage prepaid, in each case addressed to the address and person(s) designated below their respective signature hereto (or to such other address as any such party may hereafter designate by written notice to the other parties). Notices to the Escrow Agent shall only be deemed given upon actual receipt by the Escrow Agent. Whenever under the terms hereof the time for giving a notice or performing an act falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or a banking holiday in New York, such time shall be extended to the next day on which the Escrow Agent is open for business.

(b) Any funds to be paid to the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be sent by wire transfer pursuant to the following instructions (or by such method of payment and pursuant to such instruction as may have been given in advance and in writing to the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 13(a) above):

Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter claim to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

6.10 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.

6.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York applicable to a Contract executed and performed in such State. Each party hereby consents to process being served in any such proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address specified in Section 6.1, or in any other manner permitted by Law.

6.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic mail or facsimile transmission) in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

6.13 Injunctive Relief; Remedies. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties to this Agreement fail to comply with any of the obligations imposed on them by this Agreement and that in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Any such party shall, therefore, be entitled to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without posting a bond or other security, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at Law.

commitment to cause any of them to take or refrain from taking any action, it being understood and agreed that the Stock Purchase Agreement fully governs the arrangements between Purchaser, Parent and Seller and not this Agreement.

6.16 Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is entered into by each of the undersigned solely in its capacity as a stockholder of Parent, and nothing in this letter agreement shall restrict in any way the exercise by any of the undersigned’s Affiliates of their fiduciary and legal obligations in their capacity as directors of the Parent or any other entity.
