Table of Contents 12

supplier or employee of the Company without first notifying the Company and providing it the opportunity to be present during such contact.

(a) Any debt, obligation, liability or commitment of the Company after the Closing Date; and

Table of Contents 14

(b) Any breach, inaccuracy or violation of, or non-performance by, Buyer or any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any document, certificate or schedule required to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement.

8.3 Notice of Claims. If any claim is made against a Party which, if sustained, would give rise to a liability of the other hereunder, that latter Party (the “Indemnitee”) will promptly cause notice of the claim to be delivered to the former Party (the “Indemnitor”) and will afford the Indemnitor and its counsel, at its sole expense, the opportunity to defend or settle the claim (and the Indemnitee will have the right to participate at its sole expense). Any notice of a claim will state specifically the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with the alleged basis for the claim, and the amount of liability asserted against the Indemnitor by reason of the claim and the Indemnitor must promptly acknowledge its indemnification obligation. If such notice and opportunity are not given, or if any claim is compromised or settled without notice to and consent of the other, no liability will be imposed by reason of such claim, but if notice is given and the Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of the claim within fifteen (15) days of mailing thereof, the claim may be defended, compromised or settled (except for a claim which does not involve a third party which cannot be settled without the consent of the Indemnitor) by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor will remain liable under this Article. During such fifteen (15) day period, the Indemnitee will take all steps necessary to protect the interests of itself and the Indemnitor, including the filing of necessary responsive pleadings, the seeking of emergency relief and other action necessary to maintain the status quo, subject to reimbursement from the Indemnitor of its expenses in doing so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee may, upon notice to Indemnitor, take control of any and all action necessary to (a) prevent its assets from being seized, attached or otherwise encumbered as a result of such third-Party action and (b) respond to and control any action requiring immediate response, such as prayers for injunctive and other emergency relief, provided that Indemnitee may participate in such defense at its sole cost and expense.

8.4 Cooperation. The Parties will cooperate at all times in reasonable requests for documents, testimony and other forms of assistance in connection with any claim pursuant to this Article. Indemnitor will not in the defense of any such claim consent to the entry of any judgment against or affecting the Indemnitee (other than a judgment or a dismissal on the merits and without costs) except for the written consent of the Indemnitee, or enter into any settlement (except with the written consent of the Indemnitee) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a full release in respect to such claim.

8.5 Objections. If a claim for indemnification does not arise from the claim or demand of a third party, the Indemnitor will have thirty (30) days after the receipt of the written notice of such claim to object to the claim by giving written notice to the Indemnitee specifying the reasons for such objection or objections. If the Indemnitor does not so object to the claim, the total amount of the claim will be promptly paid by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor objects to the claim and the Parties are unable to settle any such dispute, then the Parties will have all rights and remedies at law or in equity, and either the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee may commence an action or proceeding to resolve such dispute.

10.12 Arbitration of Disputes. If any dispute, controversy or claim among the Parties or any of them arises out of or relates to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof or the negotiation, execution or performance thereof (a “Dispute”), the Parties will first

Table of Contents 19

attempt to settle such Dispute in the first instance by mutual, good faith discussion. All such discussion will be confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations, and no written or oral representations or statements made by the Parties during such discussion will be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. If such discussion does not resolve the Dispute within fourteen days after the Party initiating arbitration asks the others to commence such discussion, the Parties will arbitrate the Dispute as follows.

(a) The Party wishing to begin arbitration will give written notice (an “Arbitration Notice”) of the existence of a Dispute to each of the other Parties. The other Parties will submit a written response (an “Arbitration Response”) to each Party including the Party who sent the Arbitration Notice. Both the Arbitration Notice and the Arbitration Response will include a statement of the submitting Party’s position with regard to the Dispute and a summary of arguments supporting that position.

(b) If not then resolved, the Dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by arbitration in accordance with the then-prevailing JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified herein (the “Rules”). There will be a single arbitrator. The Parties will have fourteen days from commencement of the arbitration in accordance with the Rules to agree on a single arbitrator. Failing timely agreement, the arbitrator will be selected by JAMS. The place of arbitration will be at the offices of the Seller’s legal counsel in Wisconsin. There will be no discovery in the arbitration and the Parties will only be required to produce in advance of the arbitration hearing on the merits any documents which they plan to introduce in evidence at the hearing. The arbitral tribunal will not be empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute. Any arbitration proceedings, decision or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. Any arbitration award will be final and binding upon the Parties and will be the sole and exclusive remedy among the Parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(c) By agreeing to arbitration as provided in this Section 10.12, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral writ of attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings or the enforcement of any arbitration award. Without prejudice to such remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal will also have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The Parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Wisconsin for the purpose of compelling arbitration, granting preliminary relief in aid of arbitration

Table of Contents 20

or for issuance of a preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo or prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitrator(s), and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court with jurisdiction for the enforcement of any award issued hereunder.

(d) By executing and delivering this Agreement, each Party irrevocably (i) accepts unconditionally the jurisdiction and venue of the Wisconsin Courts for such purpose; (ii) waives any objections which the Party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings brought in the Wisconsin Courts and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that such action or proceeding brought in the Wisconsin Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (iii) agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in the Wisconsin Courts may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Party at the address described in Section 10.3 above; and (iv) agrees that service of process as provided in clause (iii) above is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over the Party in any proceeding in such court and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) The arbitrator will determine which Party is the prevailing Party in any Dispute. The arbitrator will award attorneys’ fees and all other costs of arbitrating the Dispute to the prevailing Party in the Dispute, which fees and costs will be paid by the non-prevailing Party.

10.13 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence under this Agreement.

10.14 Further Assurances. The Parties will execute such additional documents including, without limitation, a consent to assignment or similar document, and will cause such additional actions to be taken as may be required or, in the judgment of any Party, be necessary or desirable, to effect or evidence the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
