SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS (this “Agreement”) dated as of 1st May, 2008 is made and entered into by and among Royalwolf NZ Acquisition Co. Limited, a company organized under the laws of New Zealand (“Purchaser”), Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (“Gurcke”) and BCP NZ LLC (“BCP” and collectively with Gurcke, “Sellers”). Purchaser and Sellers are sometimes individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Sellers own all of the issued and outstanding share capital (the “Shares”) of RWNZ Acquisition Co. Limited, a company organized under the laws of New Zealand (the “Subject Company”);

WHEREAS, the Subject Company is engaged in the business of portable storage unit sales and leasing to end users in the Subject Territory (the “Business”); and

WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the Shares on the terms and conditions contained herein (the “Share Purchase”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE AND SALE

1.01 Purchase and Sale of Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Sellers shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from Sellers, all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the Shares.

1.02 Purchase Price. To purchase the Shares hereunder, Purchaser shall pay the Sellers an aggregate amount of $10,499,999.99 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to the adjustments set forth in this Section 1.02 and in this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. Dollar funds an aggregate amount equal to (the sum of subsections (a) and (b) hereof, the “Closing Payment”) the following to (a) an account designated by BCP, an amount equal to U.S. $6,950,000.00, provided that up to $5,500,000.00 of the Purchase Price payable to BCP may be paid pursuant to a written instrument with such terms and conditions as the parties may mutually agree, and (b) an account designated by Gurcke, an amount equal to (i) U.S. $3,549,999.00, less (ii) the principal amount of the Subordinated Note. All sums owed under the Subordinated Note shall secure the indemnification obligations of Gurcke under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties believe that no amount is required to be withheld from the Closing payment as a result of any provision of Law relating to taxes and, as a result, Purchaser shall make the Closing Payment without any deduction or withholding on account of any tax.

1.03 Closing. The closing of the Share Purchase (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m. Sydney, Australia time on 1 May 2008 (such date being the “Closing Date”). The Closing will be deemed to be effective, and title and all risk of loss of the Shares shall pass from Sellers to Purchaser, at 11:59 p.m. Sydney Australia time on the Closing Date, such time being the “Effective Time,” unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the Parties. The Closing shall be held at the offices of the Subject Company in New Plymouth, New Zealand located at the address set forth in Section 9.05, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the Parties.

1.04 Deliveries. At the Closing:

(a) Sellers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser, the certificates evidencing the Shares along with duly executed share transfer forms in favor of Purchaser;

(b) Each Party shall deliver the certificates and other documents and instruments required to be delivered by or on behalf of such Party pursuant to Article V or the other provisions of this Agreement.

1.05 Discharge of Obligations.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, Sellers shall cause the Subject Company to cause to be paid, discharged in full or otherwise satisfied and released (and shall deliver satisfactory releases, terminations of any security interest held in respect of, or other evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) (i) all Indebtedness of the Subject Company (other than customary trade payables on account of the purchase of containers), (ii) those finance and operating leases listed on the Discharged Obligations Schedule, and (iii) any debt or liabilities or any other inter-company arrangement owed by the Subject Company to Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers (other than customary trade payables on account of the purchase of containers). All documents evidencing obligations under subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 1.05 are listed on the Discharged Obligations Schedule attached hereto.

(b) On or before the Closing Date, Sellers shall also cause any Affiliate of Sellers to cause to be paid, discharged in full or otherwise satisfied and released, and shall deliver evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, any inter-company debt or liabilities owed by any such Affiliate to the Subject Company (i) without any residual or continuing obligation or liability on the part of the Subject Company, (ii) which action shall not result in any equity of the Subject Company being issued to an entity other than Sellers and (iii) so that immediately prior to Closing, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Subject Company shall be held by Sellers.

ARTICLE II.

WARRANTIES OF SELLERS

Sellers warrant to Purchaser that the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date, except for matters specifically relating to another date which are made only as of such date and except for matters set forth on the schedules provided by Sellers to Purchaser on the date hereof (the “Disclosure Schedules”). The disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules shall qualify other portions of the Disclosure Schedules and other sections and subsections in this Article II. The inclusion of any information on any Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Business, has resulted in or would result in a Material Adverse Effect or is outside the ordinary course of business. BCP warrants to Purchaser that the statements contained in Sections 2.01 and 2.03(b) of this Article II, to the extent relating to BCP, are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date, except for matters specifically relating to another date which are made only as of such date.

2.01 Organization of Sellers; Authority and Binding Effect. BCP is a limited company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Delaware. Each Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and all other certificates, agreements or other documents to be executed and delivered by Sellers pursuant hereto and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Sellers and no additional authorization on the part of Sellers is necessary in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Sellers, and this Agreement is a legally valid and binding obligation of Sellers, enforceable against each Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity. Each Ancillary Agreement will prior to the Closing be duly executed and delivered by Sellers and each Ancillary Agreement will after the Closing be a legally valid and binding obligation of each Seller, enforceable against Sellers in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.

2.02 Organization of the Subject Company. The Subject Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of New Zealand and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and to carry on the Business as it is now being conducted. The Subject Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or ownership of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to have such power or authority, to be in good standing or to be duly qualified to transact business, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Sellers have made available to Purchaser correct and complete copies of the Subject Company’s organizational documents, which documents reflect all amendments made thereto at any time on or prior to the date hereof. Correct and complete copies of the minute books containing the records of actions of the shareholders and board of directors of the Subject Company held at any time on or prior to the date hereof, the share register, and the share transfer ledger of the Subject Company have been made available to Purchaser. The Subject Company has filed all returns, particulars, resolutions and other documents required by the company registrar under the laws of New Zealand. The Subject Company is not in default under, or in violation of, any provision of its organizational documents.

2.03 Capitalization; Ownership of Shares.

(a) The authorized and issued share capital of the Subject Company is set forth on the Capitalization Schedule. At the Closing, the Shares being sold hereunder will constitute all of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Subject Company. All of the issued and outstanding Shares have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. At the Closing, there will be no outstanding options, warrants, purchase rights, subscription rights, conversion rights, exchange rights, or other contracts or commitments that could require the Subject Company to issue, sell, or otherwise cause to become outstanding any share capital of the Subject Company. Except for this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, at the Closing, there will be no outstanding or authorized stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit participation, or similar rights with respect to the Subject Company.

(b) Sellers are the owners, beneficially and of record, of the Shares. At the Closing, Sellers will transfer the Shares to Purchaser, free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens created by Purchaser).

2.04 No Violations. Except as set forth on the No Violations Schedule, and subject to obtaining the Scheduled Consents, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement by Sellers, and the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement by Sellers, do not and will not (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the organizational documents of Sellers or the Subject Company, (b) conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the termination, cancellation or acceleration (whether after the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both) of any right or obligation of Sellers or the Subject Company under, any material Contract, or (c) to the knowledge of Sellers, materially violate or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any Law applicable to Sellers or the Subject Company.

2.05 Consents and Approvals. Except for any Consent required under applicable Laws relating to competition and for Consents set forth on the Consents and Approvals Schedule (the “Scheduled Consents”), no Consent is required to be obtained by Sellers or the Subject Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by Sellers or, to the extent a party hereto or thereto, the Subject Company, except for any Consent the failure of which to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

2.06 Financial Statements.

(a) Sellers have made available to Purchaser (i) the audited financial statements of the Subject Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Annual Financial Statement”) and (ii) the unaudited balance sheet of the Subject Company as of February 28, 2008 and related statements of cash flow and income for the period then ended (the “Interim Balance Sheet”; the Interim Balance Sheet and other financial statements referred to in this clause 2.06 (a)(ii) are collectively referred to herein as the “Interim Financial Statements”; the Interim Financial Statements and the Annual Financial Statement are collectively referred to herein as the “Financial Statements”). Each Financial Statement has been prepared in accordance with IFRS consistently applied throughout the periods covered by such Financial Statement (except for any changes in application set forth in the notes to such Financial Statement), and presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Subject Company as of such dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods then ended, as applicable, subject to, in the case of each Interim Financial Statement, the absence of notes and schedules, and year end adjustments that will not be material.

(b) The Subject Company does not have any material Liabilities required by IFRS to be reflected on a balance sheet except: (i) Liabilities reflected or reserved against on the Interim Balance Sheet; (ii) Liabilities which have arisen after the date of the Interim Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business or otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) Liabilities disclosed as such elsewhere in this Agreement or the Schedules and Exhibits hereto.

2.07 Absence of Changes. Between the date of the Interim Balance Sheet and the date hereof, the Subject Company has conducted its operations and affairs only in the ordinary and normal course consistent with past practice, and during such period there has not been any Material Adverse Change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, between the date of the Interim Balance Sheet and the date hereof, other than in the ordinary course of business, the Subject Company has not:

(a) commenced or entered into arrangements for capital expenditures in excess of $200,000, individually or in the aggregate;

(b) disposed of any capital assets if the greater of the book value or the fair market value, individually or in the aggregate, of such assets exceeds $100,000, or incurred, created or assumed any Lien on any individual capital asset if the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such capital asset exceeds $100,000, other than Permitted Liens;

(e) amended in any material respect any Scheduled Contract that would materially and adversely affect the use and enjoyment thereof by Purchaser, or terminated any of the Scheduled Contracts other than pursuant to its terms or defaulted in the performance of any material covenant or obligation thereunder which default was not cured within any applicable grace period;

2.08 Ownership, Possession and Sufficiency of Assets.

(a) Except as set forth on the Assets Schedule, the Subject Company has good and valid title to, or a valid right to use, the assets shown on the Interim Balance Sheet or acquired after the date thereof, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, except for assets which were disposed of in the ordinary course of business since the date of the Interim Balance Sheet.

(b) The Assets Schedule lists all real property leases to which the Subject Company is a party (the “Leased Real Property”). A true, complete, and correct copy of each lease (and all amendments thereto) pertaining to the Leased Real Property has previously been made available to Purchaser. The Subject Company holds good and valid leasehold title to the Leased Real Property, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable lease or sublease for such Leased Real Property (each, a “Lease”) and free of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. Except as set forth on the Assets Schedule: (i) all of the Leases to which the Subject Company is a party are in full force and effect and grant the leasehold estates or rights of occupancy or use they purport to grant; (ii) to the knowledge of Sellers, the occupancy by the Subject Company under each Lease is in compliance with all applicable Laws relating to such occupancy; and (iii) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, threatened condemnation proceedings with respect to the Leased Real Property. Except as identified on the Assets Schedule or for such occurrences or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no existing defaults on the part of the Subject Company or, to the knowledge of Sellers, any other party under any Lease, and no event has occurred which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of the Subject Company or, to the knowledge of Sellers, any other party under any Lease.

(c) The Assets Schedule lists all real property owned by the Subject Company (the “Owned Real Property”). The Subject Company holds good and valid title to the Owned Real Property free of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

(d) Except for those disposed of in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Subject Company shall, on the Closing Date, own or possess all assets owned by, leased and/or licensed to the Subject Company on the date of this Agreement, and all assets acquired thereafter as permitted or contemplated by this Agreement (such assets, inclusive of the Leased Real Property and Owned Real Property, hereafter referred to as the “Subject Company Assets”). The Subject Company Assets constitute all of the assets necessary to operate the Business in all material respects as it is presently being conducted. Except for those assets disposed of after the date of the Interim Balance Sheet or acquired after the date of the Interim Balance Sheet, in each case in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, all material Subject Company Assets owned by the Subject Company are reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet. All Subject Company Assets used in connection with the Business of the Subject Company are in normal operating condition to operate the Business as it is presently conducted, except where the failure to be in such condition would not materially interfere with the operation of the Business as presently conducted. The Subject Company has good and marketable title to the Subject Company Assets which it purports to own or lease, free and clear of any Liens, except for Permitted Liens. All of the Subject Company Assets that consist of portable storage containers, portable offices (collectively, the “Containers”) or container or office delivery equipment are located either at the premises of the lessee identified in the pertinent lease agreement therefor, or are in the possession of the Subject Company or a bailee as reflected in the books and records of the Subject Company. At the Effective Time, the Subject Company shall have good and valid title to the Subject Company Assets which it purports to own, free and clear of any Liens, except for Closing Date Permitted Liens.

2.09 Litigation. There is no Proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, threatened, whether by or before any Governmental Authority or otherwise, against Sellers or the Subject Company which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no Judgments rendered against Sellers or the Subject Company or any of their respective properties or businesses that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.10 Compliance With Law; Permits. Except for matters that are the subject of the warranties in Sections 2.11, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16, to the knowledge of Sellers, the Subject Company is in compliance with all Laws applicable to its business as currently conducted, except for such failures to comply that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except for Permits relating to matters that are the subject of the warranties in Sections 2.11, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16, the Subject Company holds, owns or possesses all Permits required to conduct its business as currently conducted, which Permits are valid and in full force and effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Subject Company is in compliance with its obligations under such Permits.

2.11 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on the Environmental Matters Schedule:

(a) The Subject Company is in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to it, except for matters that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Subject Company has not released, treated or disposed of any Hazardous Substance, except in such amounts or such a manner that would not reasonably be expected to trigger the need for investigation and/or remediation under Environmental Laws or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, threatened Proceedings against the Subject Company arising from or relating to any Environmental Conditions.

2.12 Brokers and Finders. There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary which has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Sellers and/or the Subject Company entitled to any fee or commission from Sellers and/or the Subject Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

2.13 Contracts.

(a) Except for the Ancillary Agreements, and the contracts set forth on the Contracts Schedule (the “Scheduled Contracts”) or as contemplated by this Agreement, the Subject Company is not a party to:

(ix) any agreement materially limiting the freedom of the Subject Company from engaging in any line of business in any geographic area or to compete with any Person;

(c) Except as set forth on the Contracts Schedule, and except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) all of the Scheduled Contracts and Customer Leases are in full force and effect and constitute legal and binding obligations of the Subject Company, and (ii) neither the Subject Company nor, to the knowledge of Sellers, any other party is in breach of or default under, and, to the knowledge of Sellers, no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a breach of or default under, any Scheduled Contract or Customer Lease. Except as set forth on the Contracts Schedule or the Consents and Approvals Schedule, neither Sellers nor the Subject Company has received written notice of the intention of any other party to such Scheduled Contract or Customer Lease to cancel, terminate or renegotiate any such Scheduled Contract or Customer Lease except pursuant to the express terms thereof.

With respect to any Claim by a third party beneficiary under this Section 4.06, no Releasing Party may assert by way of defense, set-off, or counterclaim, any Claim against, or Damages owing by, Sellers or another third party beneficiary.

(f) Purchaser agrees to, at Closing and from time to time thereafter, cause the Subject Company to execute and deliver such other documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Sellers or any D&O Released Party to implement the provisions of this Section 4.06 including, without limitation, to confirm the Subject Company’s release and agreement to provide indemnification as described herein.

The warranties and covenants of the Purchaser and Gurcke contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the applicable period set forth in this Section 7.01, and any and all claims and causes of action for indemnification under this Article VII arising out of the inaccuracy or breach of any warranty or covenant of Purchaser or Gurcke must be made prior to the termination of the applicable survival period. All of the warranties and covenants of the Parties contained in this Agreement and any and all claims and causes of action for indemnification under this Article VII with respect thereto shall terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing; provided that (a) the warranties contained in (i) Sections 2.01 (Organization of Sellers; Authority and Binding Effect), 2.03 (Capitalization; Ownership of Shares), 2.12 (Brokers and Finders), 3.01 (Organization of Purchaser), 3.02 (Authority and Binding Effect), 3.07 (Investment Intent) and 3.09 (Due Diligence by Purchaser) shall survive indefinitely and (ii) Section 2.15 (Tax Matters) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (b) the covenants and release of Purchaser contained in Section 4.06 (D&O Indemnification and Release) shall survive indefinitely; it being understood that in the event an Indemnified Party delivers notice of any claim for indemnification under this Article VII within the applicable survival period and such notice describes such claims with reasonable specificity, the warranties that are the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive as to such claims until such time as such claim is finally resolved.

7.02 Indemnification by Gurcke and BCP.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, Gurcke agrees to indemnify, defend and save Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Liabilities, obligations, deficiencies, demands, claims, suits, actions, or causes of action, assessments, losses, costs or expenses, including costs or expenses of any and all investigations, proceedings, judgments, settlements and compromises (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts) (collectively, “Damages”) arising out of or relating to:

(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any then surviving warranty of Sellers contained in this Agreement; or

(ii) any non-compliance with or breach of any covenant or agreement of Sellers contained in this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, BCP agrees to indemnify, defend and save each Purchaser Indemnified Party harmless from any and all Damages arising out of or relating to any inaccuracy or breach of any then surviving warranty set forth in Section 2.01 or Section 2.03(b), solely to the extent that such surviving warrant relates to Bison.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the recourse of any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any and all Damages relating to or arising from Tax matters, including those set forth in Sections 2.15 and 4.09, shall be controlled by Section 7.04 rather than this Section 7.02.

7.03 Indemnification by Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and save Sellers and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Damages arising out of or relating to:

(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any then surviving warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; or

(ii) any non-compliance with or breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the recourse of any Seller Indemnified Party for any and all Damages relating to or arising from Tax matters, including those set forth in Sections 2.15 or 4.09 shall be controlled by Section 7.04 rather than this Section 7.03.

7.04 Tax Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, Gurcke shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Purchaser from and against (i) all liability for Taxes of the Subject Company (other than Excluded Taxes) for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (as shall be evidenced by any Tax Return prepared by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.09(a) and any additional documentation reasonably requested by Sellers) except to the extent of the amount of such Taxes paid by the Subject Company at or prior to the Effective Time, or by Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Subject Company) at any time; and (ii) any Taxes arising out of, resulting from or incident to any breach by Sellers of any covenant contained in Sections 4.09 or 7.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall not be liable for or pay for (x) any Taxes (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”) that are imposed on the Subject Company as a result of actions taken or elections made by Purchaser or the Subject Company after the Effective Time, or (y) any Taxes subject to indemnification by Purchaser pursuant to Sections 7.04(b)(i) or 7.04(b)(ii).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against (i) all liability for Taxes of the Subject Company for any Post-Closing Tax Period; (ii) any Taxes arising out of, resulting from or incident to the breach by Purchaser of any covenant contained in Sections 4.09 or 7.04; and (iii) Excluded Taxes.

(i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes and any other Taxes levied on a per diem basis (“Per Diem Taxes”) of the Subject Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Per Diem Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period; and

(ii) the Taxes of the Subject Company (other than Per Diem Taxes or Excluded Taxes) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such Pre-Closing Tax Period ended as of the Effective Time.

(d) If a claim shall be made by, or an audit, investigation, litigation or other Proceeding is conducted by or with, any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to a Person pursuant to this Section 7.04 (a “Tax Claim”), the notice provisions set forth in Section 7.05 shall apply.

(e) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Tax Period ending on or prior to the Effective Time, Gurcke shall control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) at his own expense; provided, however, that Purchaser may participate in proceedings and decisions to the extent they involve Excluded Taxes. Gurcke and Purchaser shall jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Subject Company for a Straddle Period, each paying its own expenses. Purchaser shall control at its own expense all proceedings with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Tax Period beginning after the Effective Time. A Party shall promptly notify the other Party if it decides not to control the defense or settlement of any Tax Claim which it is entitled to control pursuant to this Agreement, and the other Party shall thereupon be permitted to defend and settle such Proceeding at its own expense.

(f) Gurcke’s indemnity obligation in respect of Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period pursuant to Section 7.04(a)(i) shall be effected by its payment to Purchaser of such amount within ten (10) days after the determinations required by Section 7.04(a)(i) are completed (but not earlier than five (5) days prior to the date on which Taxes for the relevant Tax Period are required to be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority). If the amount of any such Taxes paid by Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Subject Company) at any time plus the amount of such Taxes paid by the Subject Company at or prior to the Effective Time exceeds the amount of such Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the amount of such excess within ten (10) days after the Tax Return with respect to the final liability for such Taxes is required to be filed with the relevant Governmental Authority. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.04(e), payment of the Tax to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final determination to such effect is made by the appropriate Governmental Authority or court.

7.05 Indemnification Process.

(a) Any Person seeking indemnification under this Article VII (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the Party from whom indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement as soon as practicable after the Person entitled to indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VII. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of any Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing such Claim and the basis for indemnification sought.

(b) The liability of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII with respect to Damages arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VII (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within twenty (20) days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially and irreparably prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice, provided it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists a material conflict of interest (other than one that is of a monetary nature) that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together (except to the extent that local counsel is necessary or advisable for the conduct of such Proceeding, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall also pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any such local counsel). If the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of any Third Party Claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate and may settle such claim or litigation on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that in settling any action in respect of which indemnification is payable under this Article VII, it shall act reasonably and in good faith. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with, and do all things reasonably practicable to assist, the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with, and do all things reasonably practicable to assist, the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the settlement imposes equitable remedies or material obligations on the Indemnified Party other than financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder, or (iii) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the result is to admit civil or criminal liability or culpability on the part of the Indemnified Party or that gives rise to criminal liability with respect to the Indemnified Party. No Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled or compromised by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Party conducting the defense of any Third Party Claim shall keep the other Party and the Subject Company regularly informed as to the progress of such Proceedings and shall supply the other Party or the Subject Company with such information, copies or particulars of such Proceedings as either may reasonably request in writing.

7.06 Limitations on Claims.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, indemnification under Section 7.02 shall not be available pursuant to this Article VII unless and until the amount of indemnifiable Damages asserted against Sellers under this Article VII equals or exceeds (i) an amount equal to $10,000 resulting from any single Claim or aggregated Claims arising out of the same facts, event or circumstances (the “Per Claim Deductible”), and (ii) an amount equal to $100,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”). Once the Deductible has been exceeded, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to the benefit of the indemnity under Section 7.02 for the full amount of any Claim; provided, however, that the Per Claim Deductible and the Deductible shall not apply to claims for Damages to the extent arising out of, resulting from or incident to any inaccuracy or breaches by Sellers of their warranties set forth in Sections 2.01 (Organization of Sellers; Authority and Binding Effect), 2.03 (Capitalization; Ownership of Shares) and 2.12 (Brokers and Finders).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Damages that may be recovered with respect to Claims made under Sections 7.02 and 7.04 shall equal $3,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Party shall be required to indemnify, hold harmless or otherwise compensate the other Party (or any other Person) for Damages with respect to mental or emotional distress or exemplary, consequential, special or punitive damages.

(d) The amount of any Damages claimed by any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be net of any allowances and reserves provided in the Financial Statements or the Closing Balance Sheet that are specifically identified with respect thereto.

(e) The amount of any Damages claimed by any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be net of any insurance, indemnity, contribution, Tax benefit or other payments or recoveries of a like nature with respect thereto actually received by Purchaser, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives (it being agreed that, promptly after the realization of any such reductions of Damages pursuant hereto, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall reimburse Sellers for such reduction in Damages for which such Purchaser Indemnified Party was indemnified prior to the realization of such reductions of Damages).

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that an Indemnifying Party can establish that an Indemnified Party had actual knowledge, on or prior to the Closing Date, of a breach of a warranty or covenant of the Indemnifying Party upon which a claim for indemnification by the Indemnified Party is based, then the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any Damages resulting from or arising out of such claim.

(g) If an Indemnified Party recovers Damages from an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such recovery, to the Indemnified Party’s rights against any third party, other than a third party with whom the Indemnified Party has a material business agreement or arrangement, with respect to such recovered Losses subject to the subrogation rights of any insurer providing insurance coverage under one of the Indemnified Party’s policies and except to the extent that the grant of subrogation rights to the Indemnifying Party is prohibited by the terms of the applicable insurance policy.

(h) The amount of any Damages claimed by any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be reduced to the extent that Purchaser shall have received the benefit of an adjustment pursuant to Section 1.05 due to the fact that the item that is the subject of the indemnification claim was specifically taken into account in the Closing Determination or the Closing Balance Sheet.

7.07 Mitigation. The Parties shall cooperate with, and do all things reasonably practicable to assist, each other to mitigate or resolve any Claim or Damages.

7.08 Exclusivity of Indemnification Remedy. From and after the Closing, the indemnification for Damages provided in this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to this Agreement (but this Section 7.08 shall not apply to or limit the rights or remedies of any third party beneficiary under Section 4.06). Purchaser hereby expressly waives any right to rescind this Agreement.

7.09 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. The Parties agree to treat any payment made under this Article VII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

7.10 Purchaser’s Right of Offset. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Purchaser may deduct, withhold and set off from the Subordinated Note any amount allocable to the resolution of Gurcke’s indemnification obligations under this Article VII as to which Gurcke is obligated to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this Article VII. Purchaser shall deliver written notice of Gurcke of any amounts deducted from the Subordinated Note pursuant to this Section 7.10.

7.11 Payment of Amounts under the Subordinated Note. If Purchaser has not delivered a written notice of a claim or claims for Damages under Article VII on or prior to December 1, 2008, Royal Wolf Australia shall pay to Gurcke the principal and interest accrued thereon at the interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum as reflected in the Subordinated Note, less any amounts previously deducted by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.10 and less any amounts reasonably estimated by Purchaser to cover any unresolved claims arising under Article VII.

7.12 No Liability for BCP. Except as expressly set forth in Section 7.02(b) and any provision of Article VII hereof that relates to BCP, none of BCP, its Affiliates or any of their respective equity owners, investors, officers, directors or employees shall have any liability or obligation (a) for, in connection with or as a result of any breach (whether material or immaterial) of this Agreement or any of the documents or agreements delivered in connection herewith, or (b) in connection with or related to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any document or agreement delivered in connection herewith.
