(2) The Purchase Price shall be decreased Euro for Euro by the amount of the Estimated Net Financial Indebtedness (as calculated on the basis of the Net Financial Indebtedness definition in Annex 6.2.1) at the Closing Date if the amount of the Estimated Net Financial Indebtedness at the Closing Date is positive, i.e., the amount of the estimated Financial Indebtedness (as calculated on the basis of the Financial Indebtedness definition in Annex 6.2.1) is higher than the amount of the estimated Liquid Assets (as calculated on the basis of the Liquid Assets definition in Annex 6.2.1). The Purchase Price shall be increased Euro for Euro by the amount of the (negative) Estimated Net Financial Indebtedness (as calculated on the basis of the Net Financial Indebtedness definition in Annex 6.2.1) at the Closing Date if the amount of the Estimated Net Financial Indebtedness at the Closing Date is negative, i.e., the amount of the estimated Financial Indebtedness (as calculated on the basis of the Financial Indebtedness definition in Annex 6.2.1) is lower than the amount of the estimated Liquid Assets (as calculated on the basis of the Liquid Assets definition in Annex 6.2.1).

(3) The Purchase Price shall be increased Euro for Euro by the amount of the Estimated Positive Intercompany Debt Balance (as determined in accordance with Section 14.1) or the Purchase Price shall be decreased Euro for Euro by the amount of the Estimated Negative Intercompany Debt Balance (as determined in accordance with Section 14.1), as the case may be.

A calculation of the AMI Germany Debt Balance as of June 25, 2010 is attached hereto as Annex 6.2.2(4).

6.2.3 This means that:

The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser at Closing for (i) the Sold Shares as sold and purchased hereunder and (ii) the assignment of the Positive Intercompany Debt Balance or the full and final settlement and discharge of the Negative Intercompany Debt Balance (as the case may be) shall be equal to the sum of

7.1.2 The inventory taking and the Third-Party Precious Metals Taking shall be made with the full assistance and cooperation of the Target Companies. Upon completion of the inventory taking and the Third-Party Precious Metals Taking, but no later than three (3) months following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller Parent a statement (the “Third-Party Precious Metals Statement”) containing in reasonable detail the final quantities (in ▇▇▇▇ ounces) of owned precious metals and the Third-Party Precious Metals as determined through the inventory taking and the Third-Party Precious Metals Taking (the quantity of the Third-Party Precious Metals is hereinafter referred to as the “Third-Party Precious Metals Quantity”). For purposes of preparing the Third-Party Precious Metals Statement, the quantity of owned precious metals at the Closing Date shall not be adjusted to reflect the results of the Third-Party Precious Metals Taking.

Page 17 of 79

7.1.3 The Third-Party Precious Metals Statement shall also contain the exact quantities (in ▇▇▇▇ ounces) constituting the obligations of the Target Companies vis-à-vis the lessors under the Precious Metals Leases (as defined in Section 9.2.9 (1)) and vis-à-vis the customers/suppliers under agreements pursuant to which Customer/Supplier Precious Metals are made available as of the Closing Date (24:00 hours) (such quantities hereinafter referred to as the “Third-Party Precious Metals Obligations”).

7.1.4 The Purchase Price shall be decreased if the Third-Party Precious Metals Quantity is lower than the Third-Party Precious Metals Obligations and increased if the Third-Party Precious Metals Quantity is higher than the Third-Party Precious Metals Obligations. The cash-value of the shortfall or excess, as the case may be, of the Third-Party Precious Metals Quantity over the Third-Party Precious Metals Obligations shall be determined (on the basis of precious metals prices referenced in Annex 7.1.4) on the date on which the adjustment of the Purchase Price relating to the Third-Party Precious Metals will be settled as set forth in Section 7.1.7 below (the “Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount”); it being understood that the Purchase Price shall be Euro for Euro decreased or increased, as the case may be, by the Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount.

7.1.5 For illustrative purposes, a calculation of the Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount as of March 26, 2010 is attached as Annex 7.1.5.

7.1.6 Seller Parent is entitled to review the correctness of the Third-Party Precious Metals Statement; Section 7.4 shall apply mutatis mutandis. In case of a dispute between the Parties regarding the Third-Party Precious Metals Amount, Sections 7.5 through 7.7 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

7.1.7 If the Third-Party Precious Metals Quantity is lower than the Third-Party Precious Metals Obligations, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount, and if the Third-Party Precious Metals Quantity is higher than the Third-Party Precious Metals Obligations, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount. Payment of the Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount is due within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which it has either been agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 7.5 below or been determined by the Expert (as defined below) pursuant to Section 7.7.

7.1.8 Payment of the Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount shall be made in USD and in immediately available funds with same day interest value by transfer to an account designated by Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be). The exchange rate to be applied to convert the adjustment amount from Euro to USD shall to the extent applicable be the Euro-USD foreign exchange rate at the close of business of the day which is the Business Day prior to the day on which the adjustment amount is paid as published on the following internet page:

▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇/▇_▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇?▇▇▇▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇▇.

7.2 Preparation of the Closing Date Statement

7.2.1 As soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) months following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare, or cause the Target Companies to prepare, and to deliver to Seller Parent a combined consolidated balance sheet as of the Closing and a statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) consisting of a detailed calculation of

(a) the combined (consolidated) Net Working Capital (as calculated on the basis of the Net Working Capital definition in Annex 6.2.1) of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date (24:00 hours) (the “Final Net Working Capital”) and the amount by which the Target Net Working Capital falls below or exceeds the Final Net Working Capital, as the case may be (the “Final Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount”),

(b) the combined (consolidated) Net Financial Indebtedness (as calculated on the basis of the Net Financial Indebtedness definition in Annex 6.2.1) of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date (24:00 hours) (the “Final Net Financial Indebtedness”),

(c) the Intercompany Debt Balance (as calculated on the basis of the Intercompany Debt Balance definition in Annex 6.2.1) of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date (24:00 hours) (the “Final Intercompany Debt Balance”); and

(d) the AMI Germany Debt Balance based on, inter alia, the Termination Accounts (as defined in Section 14.2.2) (the “Final AMI Germany Debt Balance”).

Any item taken into consideration in the calculation of the Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount, which does, for the avoidance of doubt, not apply to owned precious metals, shall not be taken into account for the determination of the Final Net Working Capital and any amount included in the Final AMI Germany Debt Balance shall neither be taken into account for the determination of the Final Net Working Capital, nor the Final Net Financial Indebtedness nor the Final Intercompany Debt Balance (no double-dip).

7.2.2 The Closing Date Statement shall contain calculations in reasonable detail setting out:

(a) the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount;

(b) the Final Net Financial Indebtedness Amount;

(c) the Final Intercompany Debt Balance;

(d) the Final AMI Germany Debt Balance; and

(e) the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount and the Final Purchase Price (in each case as defined in Section 7.8).

7.3 Relevant Accounting Principles and Accounting Guidelines

The Estimated Closing Date Statement and the Closing Date Statement shall be prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) which shall be applied on a basis consistent with the principles used in the combined consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 2009 included in the Financial Statements (as defined below in Section 9.2.5(1)). Certain of these principles are attached hereto as Annex 7.3(a) (“Accounting Guidelines”). In case of any inconsistency between US GAAP and the Accounting Guidelines, the Accounting Guidelines shall prevail. For illustrative purposes, a calculation of the Net Working Capital, the AMI Germany Debt Balance and the Net Financial Indebtedness as of December 25, 2009 is attached as Annex 7.3(b). Notwithstanding anything provided for in this Section 7.3, Section 6.2.2(4) shall remain unaffected and therefore the amount of the Estimated AMI Germany Debt Balance and the Final AMI Germany Debt Balance included in the Estimated Closing Date Statement and the Closing Date Statement respectively, shall be exclusively determined in accordance with German GAAP pursuant to the German Commercial Code (HGB).

Page 19 of 79

7.4 Review of the Closing Date Statement

Seller Parent shall be entitled to review the correctness of the Closing Date Statement for a period of two (2) months following the receipt thereof (the “Review Period”). For this purpose, Purchaser shall grant, or cause the Target Companies to grant, Seller Parent (and Seller Parent’s auditors and advisors) access to all relevant information without undue delay and shall cause the employees of the Target Companies to give Seller Parent (and Seller Parent’s auditors and advisors) such support and assistance as may be reasonably requested by Seller Parent free of charge.

7.5 Disputes

If and to the extent Seller Parent does not raise within the Review Period vis-à-vis Purchaser any objections in writing against specified items contained in the Closing Date Statement (the “Disputed Items”), the Closing Date Statement shall be final and binding upon the Parties. In the event Seller Parent believes that the Closing Date Statement has not been prepared on the basis set forth in Section 7.3, Seller Parent shall, on or before the expiration of the Review Period, deliver to Purchaser a written statement (the “Objection Notice”) specifying in detail each of the Disputed Items, including the questioned amount and the reasoning therefore, and Seller Parent and Purchaser shall use their best efforts to resolve any such Disputed Items in good faith negotiations within one (1) month following the delivery of the Objection Notice.

7.6 Determination of Expert

Any Disputed Items not resolved within one (1) month following Purchaser’s receipt of the Objection Notice shall be submitted by Seller Parent and Purchaser to Deloitte & Touche GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft for review. Should this auditing firm become unavailable, Seller Parent and Purchaser shall agree on another auditing firm of international standing. If the Parties cannot reach agreement within two (2) weeks following the delivery of the Objection Notice to Purchaser, such auditing firm shall be determined upon request of either Seller Parent or Purchaser by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer e.V. Düsseldorf. The respective auditing firm determined in accordance with this Section 7.6 is referred to as the “Expert”.

Page 20 of 79

7.7 Mandate of Expert; Expert Procedures

The Expert shall be jointly retained by Seller Parent and Purchaser based on the following terms and conditions:

(2) The Expert shall act as an expert (Schiedsgutachter) and not as an arbitrator (Schiedsrichter).

(3) The Parties shall make readily available to the Expert all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of the Parties’ respective auditors, subject to the consent of each) relating to the Financial Statements, Closing Date Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the Expert in connection therewith.

(5) The Parties shall instruct the Expert to deliver its written opinion with reasons for the decision as soon as reasonably practical, but not later than two (2) months after the Disputed Items have been referred to the Expert.

(6) Except for manifest mathematical error or intentional fault, the Expert’s decisions and the Closing Date Statement as determined by the Expert shall be final and binding upon the Parties for the purpose of determining the Final Purchase Price.

(7) All fees and expenses of the Expert shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller Parent, such that the amount paid by Seller Parent bears the same proportion that the aggregate Euro amount unsuccessfully disputed by Seller Parent bears to the total Euro amount of the Disputed Items that were submitted for resolution to the Expert, and Purchaser shall pay the balance; provided that, advance payments claimed by the Expert prior to the final decision, if any, shall be equally divided between Purchaser and Seller Parent subject to adjustments and corresponding reimbursement based on the final decision.

7.8 Determination and Payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount; Final Purchase Price

7.8.1 Following any determination by the Expert according to Section 7.7 or the agreement of the Parties according to Section 7.5, the Closing Purchase Price shall be adjusted Euro for Euro (the “Post-Closing Adjustment Amount”) by the sum of

(a) (i) the Final Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount minus (ii) the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (expressed as a positive, if positive, or as a negative, if negative),

Page 21 of 79

(b) (i) the Estimated Net Financial Indebtedness minus (ii) the Final Net Financial Indebtedness, (expressed as a positive, if positive, or as a negative, if negative),

(c) (i) the Final Positive Intercompany Debt Balance minus the Estimated Positive Intercompany Debt Balance, (expressed as a positive, if positive, or as a negative, if negative) or, as the case may be, (ii) the Estimated Negative Intercompany Debt Balance minus the Final Negative Intercompany Debt Balance, (expressed as a positive, if positive, or as a negative, if negative), and

(d) (i) the Estimated AMI Germany Debt Balance minus (ii) the Final AMI Germany Debt Balance (expressed as a positive, if positive, or as negative, if negative).

The Closing Purchase Price as adjusted by the Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount and Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is referred to herein as the “Final Purchase Price”.

7.8.2 Section 6.4 and Section 6.5 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the payment of the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.

7.8.3 “Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Amount” for purposes of this Agreement means an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount disregarding any adjustments made in accordance with Section 7.8.1 (d) with respect to the AMI Germany Debt Balance.

7.8.4 The Post-Closing Adjustment Amount shall be settled as follows:

(1) If the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is a positive number, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, and if the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is a negative number, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Payment of the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is due within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which it has either been agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 7.5 or been determined by the Expert pursuant to Section 7.7, together with interest thereon (at the rate set forth in Section 6.5) from the Closing Date up to and including the date of payment.

(2) The portion of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount arising from the adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 7.8.1 (d) with respect to the AMI Germany Debt Balance shall not be settled by way of cash payments between the Seller and the Purchaser. The Parties agree that the consideration of the difference between the Estimated AMI Germany Debt Balance and the Final AMI Germany Debt Balance in the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 7.8.1 (d) shall be deemed a final settlement of the Final AMI Germany Debt Balance between Seller and AMI Germany. Purchaser shall actually settle the Final AMI Germany Debt Balance with AMI Germany.

The deduction shall only be made and apply if Seller has informed Purchaser in writing no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the due date of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount (as set forth in Section 7.8.4) that such a withholding obligation is required by Law and, if applicable, of the amount required to be withheld; provided, however that Seller shall before consult with a reputable external tax advisor and shall inform Purchaser in writing, by fax or email whether or not such tax advisor is of the reasoned view that such withholding obligation is required by Law.

Section 10

Page 43 of 79

10.1.2 For the purposes of this Section 10, in determining whether there has been a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or the amount of Damages, any qualification or limitation as to materiality (whether by reference to material, Material Adverse Effect or change or otherwise) contained in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded. For purposes of determining the amount of Damages pursuant to this Section 10, any qualification or limitation as to knowledge contained in a representation or warranty shall be disregarded, provided, however, that the term “knowledge” shall continue to apply to the determination of whether there has been a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty pursuant to Section 9. For the avoidance of doubt, the concept of disregarding “materiality” or “knowledge” as set forth in this Section 10.1.2 shall not apply in connection with Section 8.5.1 (b) and Section 8.6.3.

10.1.3 Seller shall not be liable for, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to claim for, any Damages of Purchaser under or in connection with this Agreement if and to the extent that

(1) the matter to which the claim relates is accrued for in the Closing Date Statement (as agreed upon by the Parties or as determined by the Expert) as Final Financial Indebtedness or Current Liabilities; or

(2) any Damages of Purchaser are actually recovered through claims against third parties, including, but not limited to, through existing insurance policies; it being understood that there shall in no event be any obligation to seek to recover any claims against third parties, subject to Section 10.6.

10.2 Overall Scope of Seller’s Liability pursuant to this Agreement

10.2.1 Seller’s aggregate liability under this Agreement including, but not limited to, any and all claims for breach of any of the representations and warranties pursuant to Section 9, shall – subject to Section 10.2.2 below – be limited to 15% of the Base Amount (the “Liability Cap”).
For purposes of this Agreement, “Base Amount” means the Final Purchase Price plus (i.e. adding back) an amount equal to the Final AMI Germany Debt Balance as set forth in the Closing Date Statement (as agreed upon by the Parties or as determined by the Expert).

(a) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 9.2.1 (Corporate Issues and Authority), 9.2.2 (Capitalization), 9.2.4 (Binding Effect), 9.2.6(1) (Owned Real Property) and 9.2.6(5) (No Encumbrance) (the “Fundamental Reps”);

Page 44 of 79

(b) any claims relating to a breach of Seller’s or Seller Parent’s covenants;

(c) the Tax Matters in Section 11; or

(d) the Indemnity in Section 12.4; and

(e) Environmental Matters which are exclusively governed by Section 12.5 (it being agreed and understood that any payments made by Seller under this Section 10 shall not count against the Environmental Liability Cap as defined in Section 12.5.3 and vice-versa);

provided, however, that the overall liability of Seller under these provisions as well as in connection with all other provisions of this Agreement shall in no event exceed the Base Amount.

10.3 De Minimis; Tipping Basket

10.3.1 Purchaser shall only be entitled to any claims under Section 10.1.1 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any claims relating to the matters set forth in Section 10.2.2 (b) through (e)) if

(a) and to the extent that an individual claim (Anspruch) of Purchaser exceeds € 20,000 (in words: twenty thousand Euro) (“De Minimis Claims”); and

(b) the aggregate amount of all claims (excluding any De Minimis Claims) exceeds € 700,000 (in words: seven hundred thousand Euro) (Freigrenze) (the “Tipping Basket”).

10.3.2 The Tipping Basket shall not apply to claims under Section 10.1.1 for breaches of Fundamental Reps (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not to any claims relating to the matters set forth in Section 10.2.2 (b) through (e)). In the event the Tipping Basket is exceeded, Purchaser is entitled to recovery for all Damages (excluding any De Minimis Claims) and not just the excess amount.

10.4 Exclusion of Claims

Purchaser shall not be entitled to bring any claim under Section 10.1.1 if the underlying facts to which the claim relates were disclosed in the respective Annexes attached to this Agreement.

10.5 Notification of Seller; Procedure in Case of Third Party Claims

10.5.1 In the event of an actual or potential breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 9 above, Purchaser shall without undue delay from becoming aware of the matter notify Seller Parent of such alleged breach in writing, describing the potential claim in detail and, to the extent practical, state the estimated amount of such claim and give Seller the opportunity to remedy the breach within the period of 1 (one) month; provided, however, that no delay or deficiency on the part of Purchaser in so notifying Seller Parent will relieve Seller of any Liability hereunder except to the extent, and only to the extent, Seller’s ability to remedy, contest, defend or settle with respect to any such claim has been materially and actually prejudiced thereby. Furthermore, in the event that in connection with a breach of representations and warranties under Section 9 any claim or demand of a third party is asserted against Purchaser or any of the Target Companies, Purchaser shall make available to Seller Parent a copy of the third party claim or demand.

Page 45 of 79

10.5.2 If Seller unconditionally acknowledges (anerkennen) in writing to Purchaser that the circumstances underlying the third-party claim constitute a breach and that Seller is liable for such breach pursuant to Section 10.1.1, Seller shall be entitled to control the defense against the third-party claim. In this case Purchaser shall provide, and shall cause that the Target Companies provide, to Seller all relevant documents, other information and assistance reasonably required by Seller for the defense. Seller shall keep Purchaser informed to a reasonable extent of the status of defense. Seller shall not be permitted to settle or compromise any third party claims without the written consent of Purchaser unless the settlement or compromise involves only the payment of monetary damages to be paid only by Seller and does not require the finding or admission of a violation of Law or the violation of the rights of any Person by Purchaser, the Target Companies or their Affiliates. No admission of liability shall be made by Purchaser or the Target Companies with respect to the third-party claim controlled by Seller, and the third-party claim shall not be acknowledged or settled, without the prior written consent of Seller.

10.5.3 In the absence of an unconditional acknowledgement by Seller, the defense against the third-party claim shall be controlled by Purchaser or the Target Companies, as the case may be. Seller shall be allowed to participate in the defense at its own expense with its own counsel. Purchaser shall keep Seller Parent informed to a reasonable extent of the status of defense. Subject to their obligation to avoid or mitigate Damages (Section 254 of the German Civil Code (BGB)), Purchaser or the Target Companies shall be free to acknowledge or settle the third-party claim if in their reasonable opinion such acknowledgement or settlement is in their own best interest.

10.5.4 For the avoidance of doubt, in all cases of this Section 10.5 the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser and the Target Companies of defending the third-party claim shall be part of the Damages of Purchaser and the Target Companies, for which Seller is liable under Section 10.1. If and to the extent that Seller has exercised control of the defense pursuant to Section 10.5.2, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and the Target Companies from and against any costs incurred by Purchaser and the Target Companies for such defense.

10.6 Mitigation

Section 254 of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall remain unaffected, which is the duty of care to prevent the occurrence of any Damages and to limit the scope of any Damages incurred.

10.7 Limitation Periods

The indemnification obligations of Seller arising under this Section 10 shall expire on April 30, 2012, except for any indemnification obligations based on a breach of the representations and warranties given under the Fundamental Reps, which shall expire five (5) years after the date of this Agreement, provided, that, in the event Purchaser delivers notice of any claim for indemnification under Section 10 prior to the applicable expiration date described above, Seller’s indemnification obligation under Section 10 shall survive with respect to such claim until such time as such claim is finally resolved. Purchaser’s notice shall be in writing, describing the potential claim in reasonable detail and, to the extent possible, state the estimated amount of the relevant claim.

Page 46 of 79

10.8 Exclusion of Further Remedies

To the extent permitted by Law, any further claims and remedies other than explicitly provided for under this Agreement, irrespective of which nature, amount or legal basis, are hereby expressly waived and excluded, in particular, without limitation, claims under pre-contractual fault (Section 311 para. 2 and 3 of the German Civil Code (BGB)), breach of contract (Pflichtverletzung aus dem Schuldverhältnis) and/or the right to reduce the purchase price (Minderung) or to rescind this Agreement (Rücktritt), and any liability in tort (Deliktshaftung), except for deceit (Arglist) and intention (Vorsatz) in which case the principles of German law shall apply without regard to the contractual limitations on liability set forth in this Agreement.

(3) are the result of a reorganization (other than the transfer of (i) the Delaware Companies’ Shares from AMI Germany to LuxCo and (ii) the AMI Singapore Shares from AMI Germany to Purchaser, in each case after the Closing and in each case if such transfer is completed within six (6) months from the Closing Date and for consideration that is the same as the respective amount reflected in Annex 4.5.4, unless otherwise determined by any Taxing Authority) or other measures initiated by Purchaser, Purchaser Parent, Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing Date, unless Purchaser proves (beweist) that such failure has not affected the ability of the respective Seller to avoid or mitigate any liability for Taxes;

(4) are assessed, or cannot be disputed, as a result of a breach of any Tax covenant given by Purchaser under Section 11.5.

11.3.3 Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.3.2 (in particular, but not limited to, in Section 11.3.2 (1)), any claim under Section 11.3.1 shall apply whether such Liability was actual or contingent, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, determined, determinable or otherwise as of the Closing Date, whenever or however arising.

11.3.4 Indemnification payments due by Seller under this Section 11 shall be made within ten (10) Business Days following written notice by Purchaser, provided that the payment of such amounts to the Taxing Authority is due and that Seller shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five (5) Business Days before such Taxes are due to the Taxing Authority. In case of any Tax being contested in accordance with Section 11.6.2, payment of such Tax to the Taxing Authority will be considered due no earlier than on the date a binding (bestandskräftig) determination to such effect is made by either the Taxing Authority or a court of proper jurisdiction, provided that the Taxing Authority has granted relief from paying the assessed Tax until such Tax becomes final and binding.

11.3.5 In determining the Tax Liabilities with respect to the Straddle Period, Taxes paid or payable by the Target Companies allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be computed as if the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period constituted a stub fiscal year (Rumpfgeschäftsjahr), provided that (i) real property, personal property, and other Taxes calculated on a periodic basis, and (ii) exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on a periodic basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period.

11.4 Tax Filings after the Closing Date

Purchaser shall cause the relevant Target Companies to prepare and make, when due all Tax filings required to be filed by or on behalf of the Target Companies after the Closing Date, subject, however, in the case of any Tax filings for periods including the period ending on the Closing Date, to the review and prior written approval of Seller (which may not unreasonably be withheld or delayed). To the extent permitted by the respective tax law and at the sole discretion of Seller any available pre-closing tax loss carry forwards or current tax losses incurred up to the Closing Date are to be utilized first with respect to pre-closing periods on any post-closing tax filings including a loss carry back and a loss carry forward of the current tax losses incurred up to (and including) the Closing Date. Tax filings for periods including the period ending on or before the Closing Date shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior Tax assessment periods, except where otherwise required by any Taxing Authority or mandatory Law. Purchaser shall ensure that any Tax filing to be reviewed and approved by Seller will be furnished to Seller no later than 1 (one) month prior to the due date of such Tax filing and will provide cooperation and supporting detail to enable such review. Purchaser shall ensure that all Taxes payable under such Tax filings shall be paid timely.

11.5 Purchaser’s Tax Covenants

Purchaser covenants to Seller

(1) that except as legally required by any Taxing Authority or otherwise compelled by mandatory Law or as approved in writing by Seller, Purchaser will not cause or permit any of the Target Companies to amend any Tax return relating to periods prior to or including the Closing Date if and to the extent such amendment gives rise to any Tax liability of Seller (including any Tax indemnification liability pursuant this Section 11);

(2) to keep, and cause the Target Companies to keep, all books and records related to any Tax period or part thereof ending on or before the Closing Date in accordance with, and during the periods required under, statutory law; and

(3) to provide, or cause to be provided, to Seller or its counsels who are subject to professional secrecy, upon request, all relevant documents or other information and permit, or cause the Target Companies to permit, Seller and its counsels to have access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to the employees and books and records of the Target Companies, to the extent relevant with respect to Tax audits and Tax assessments relating to any Tax period or part thereof ending on or before the Closing Date.

11.6 Indemnification Procedures

11.6.1 If following the Closing Date, Purchaser or a Target Company is informed by any Taxing Authority of any proposed Tax audit, administrative or Tax court proceeding, assessment, dispute, investigation, request for information or enforcement or has received any other official document by any Taxing Authority in each case with respect to which the Seller may incur a liability pursuant to this Section 11, then Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller Parent. Such notice shall be at the latest within 15 (fifteen) Business Days after Purchaser or any of the Target Companies has received the relevant information, or at any earlier date if required to enable Seller to participate in the Tax audit or proceeding or to review the relevant Tax assessment within the applicable period available for an appeal or other remedy. Such notice shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such Tax audit or asserted Tax liability. Purchaser shall further cause the Target Companies to allow Seller to fully participate in such Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding. If Seller is not given notice as set forth in this Section 11.6.1 (and do not otherwise within the mentioned time limit receive the relevant information) or is not allowed to participate as set forth in this Section 11.6.1, Seller shall no longer be liable under this Section 11 if and to the extent the information and participation rights of Seller are relevant for the respective Tax liability, unless Purchaser proves (beweist) that such failure has not materially affected the ability of Seller to exercise its rights under this Section 11.

Page 51 of 79

11.6.2 Seller may elect to direct on its own or through counsel of choice and at its expense, any audit, claim for refund and administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Section 11 (any such audit, claim for refund or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability is referred to as a “Tax Contest”). Upon Purchaser’s request, Seller shall confirm in writing the assumption of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses vis-à-vis Purchaser and the Target Companies. If Seller elects to direct a Tax Contest, then Seller shall within 15 (fifteen) Business Days of receipt of Purchaser’s written notice pursuant to Section 11.6.1 above, notify Purchaser of its intent to do so, and Purchaser shall cooperate and cause the Target Companies or the respective successors to cooperate, at Seller’s expense in each phase of such Tax Contest. If Seller does not elect to direct such Tax Contest or fails to notify Purchaser of its election as herein provided, Purchaser or the Target Companies may pay, compromise or contest such asserted Tax liability. In any event, Seller may participate, at its own expense, in any Tax Contest. If Seller chooses to direct the Tax Contest, Purchaser shall promptly authorize, and shall cause the respective Target Companies to authorize, (by power-of-attorney and such other documentation as may be necessary and appropriate) the designated representative of Seller to represent Purchaser and/or the Target Companies or their successors in the Tax Contest insofar as the Tax Contest involves an asserted Tax liability for which Seller would be liable under this Section 11. If Purchaser has failed to comply with any of its obligations set forth in this Section 11.6.2, Seller shall no longer be liable under this Section 11 if and to the extent the information and participation rights of Seller are relevant for the respective Tax liability, unless Purchaser proves (beweist) that such failure has not materially affected the ability of Seller to exercise its rights under this Section 11.

11.7 Tax Refunds

11.7.1 If the Target Companies will receive a Tax refund relating to any period or any part of a period (stub period) ending on or before Closing Date, the amount of the Tax refund shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within ten (10) Business Days, unless such Tax refund has already been reflected in the Closing Date Statement (as agreed upon by the Parties or as determined by the Expert). Purchaser shall duly notify Seller in writing of any Tax refund relating to any period or any part of a period ending on or before Closing Date.

11.7.2 If two (2) years after the Closing Date, the total amount of tax refunds, tax claims, tax credits or other tax assets reflected as Current Assets in the Closing Date Statement (as agreed upon by the Parties or as determined by the Expert) (including, but not limited to those relating to VAT) and which have been reflected as Current Assets (as defined on Annex 6.2.1 on the Closing Date Statement (as agreed between the Parties or as determined by the Expert), exceed the total amounts actually received by the Target Companies relative to those tax assets (excluding any post-closing interest), then Seller Parent shall be liable to pay to Purchaser the amount by which the total Closing Date Statement amounts exceed the total amounts actually received. Such payment shall be made by Seller to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Purchaser setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount due. In the event the Target Companies shall subsequently receive any further applicable payment from taxing authorities, it shall be paid to Seller Parent within ten (10) Business Days of receipt.

Page 52 of 79

11.8 Additional Tax Refunds

11.8.1 If two years after the Closing Date the total amount of the Tax liabilities and Tax accruals reflected in the Closing Date Statement (as agreed between the Parties or as finally determined by the Expert) plus any applicable amounts paid to Purchaser by Seller as tax indemnification under Section 11.3.1(2) exceeds the Taxes Purchaser or the Target Companies are liable for and actually pay for pre-closing and Straddle Periods, then Purchaser shall be liable to pay to Seller Parent the amount of such excess. Any such payment of Tax liabilities and Tax accruals to Seller Parent shall not affect Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 11.3 except that Section 11.3.2(1) shall after the payment of Tax liabilities and Tax accruals to Seller Parent no longer apply if and to the extent payments have been made under this section 11.8.

11.8.2 If and to the extent Seller has indemnified Purchaser for a Tax liability and

(1) to the extent Purchaser or any Target Company actually realizes within the first two full fiscal years following the Closing Date a Tax reduction (Steuerminderung) arising out of the circumstance triggering the Tax indemnification claim (e.g. resulting from the lengthening of depreciation periods or higher depreciation allowances (Phasenverschiebung)); or

(2) to the extent any Target Company, other than the entity to which a Tax indemnification claim relates, actually obtains a Tax refund for a pre-closing period arising out of the circumstances triggering the Tax indemnification claim (e.g., resulting from a change in transfer pricing or disallowance of inter-company charges)

then Purchaser shall pay to Seller, when actually realized, an amount equal to the amount of such Tax reduction or Tax refund, as the case may be.

11.8.3 Section 11.8.2 (1) also applies to Tax reductions (Steuerminderungen) arising for and actually realized by Purchaser or any Target Company within the first two full fiscal years following the Closing Date from and to the extent that, subsequent to the Closing Date, due to a Tax audit Seller as controlling entity (Organträger) is charged with additional Taxes related to the Target Companies under such control (Organgesellschaft) to the extent such Tax reduction similarly arises out of the circumstance triggering the additional Taxes for Seller with regard to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any pre-closing Straddle Period.

11.8.4 For the purpose of Sections 11.8.2 and 11.8.3 (with respect to Section 11.8.3 only upon Seller’s request) Purchaser shall cause the Target Companies or their respective successors to apply for a Tax reduction or Tax refund with the respective Taxing Authorities and Seller will pay any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser or any Target Company in connection therewith. Seller may participate, at its own expense, in any proceeding or correspondence which might be required to obtain or realize such Tax reduction or Tax refund.

11.9 Expiration

Purchaser may only raise claims under this Section 11 until a period of two (2) months after the final and binding assessment without reservation (bestandskräftige Festsetzung ohne Vorbehalt der Nachprüfung) of the relevant Taxes; it being understood that this time limitation applies to each single claim on an individual basis.

Page 55 of 79

(a) all possible obligations and liabilities of the Target Companies arising from any Precious Metals Leases and relating to periods prior to Closing unless expressly provided for otherwise in the Alternative Precious Metals Leases (e.g. assumption of precious metals and of the respective payment obligations vis-à-vis the lessors relating to such assumed precious metals);

(b) all possible obligations and liabilities of Seller Parent, Seller, Target Companies and their respective Affiliates for the operation of any of their businesses (whether operated before or after the date of this Agreement) in Mexico (including, for the avoidance of doubt all obligations of AMI Mexico under the Master Acquisition Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2009, among, inter alia, AMI CP, AMI Mexico, Seller Parent, Metalor Technologies USA Corporation and Metalor Technologies International S.A.) other than the business of manufacturing rivets (“Mexico Rivet Operations”), except for (i) obligations and liabilities to the extent reserved against or accrued for in Current Liabilities in the Closing Date Statement used for the determination of the Final Purchase Price, (ii) severance payments to employees and union leaders as shown in Annex 12.4.1(b), (iii) legal, tax, liquidator and other shut-down costs and liquidation costs of AMI Mexico and (iv) any obligations and liabilities relating to environmental matters which are – subject to the following paragraph – exclusively addressed in Section 12.5 below; The Parties agree that (i) Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs of transferring the equipment for the Mexico Rivet Operations out of Mexico and (ii) Purchaser shall not be responsible for any Environmental Liabilities in Mexico in excess of € 153,000, without regard to whether such costs relate to the Mexico Rivet Operations or any other operations or assets of AMI Mexico;

(c) (i) the non-existence or invalidity of the property lease agreement for the actual operation site of AMI China and (ii) an expiry or termination of such lease agreement being effective prior to November 16, 2013 other than due to a termination of the lease agreement by AMI China or the failure of AMI China to validly exercise an option existing at the Closing Date to extend the term of the lease agreement to November 16, 2013 or due to a breach of the lease agreement by AMI China after the Closing Date;

(d) any infringement by the Target Companies of certain patents as described in Annex 12.4.1(d); and

in each case unless and to the extent Purchaser is liable under Section 12.1 and such losses, liabilities, Damages or costs for which indemnification is sought are incurred as a consequence of such liability under Section 12.1.

12.5 Environmental Matters

12.5.1 Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser in form and scope as set forth in Section 9.1 that:

(a) Except as disclosed in Annex 12.5.1 the Target Companies are in material compliance with all Laws relating to (i) the protection or restoration of the environment, health, safety or natural resources, (ii) the handling, use, presence, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials or (iii) noise, odor, wetlands, pollution, contamination or any injury or threat of injury to private property, (the “Environmental Laws”) in each case, applicable to any of the Target Companies or the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property and all material environmental permits and other permits or licenses issued by any Government Entity charged with the administration of Environmental Laws (the “Environmental Permits”). All Hazardous Materials generated or possessed by the Target Companies have been and are disposed of in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws in effect now or at the time of such disposal, and, where applicable, pursuant to and in accordance with all Environmental Permits.

(b) The Target Companies are in possession of all material Environmental Permits, required for the conduct of their business as currently conducted.

(c) Except as disclosed in Annex 12.5.1 the Target Companies have no Liability and will not have any Liability for any clean-up or other remediation act, claim, proceeding or action, or to any other Liability, under any Environmental Law whether or not caused by any Target Company arising from events occurring or facts in existence prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Except as disclosed in Annex 12.5.1 the Target Companies have not received any written notice from any Government Entity or other Person that any aspect of any of the Target Companies’ businesses, operations or facilities is in violation of or liable under any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit.

12.5.2 Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and/or, at Purchaser’s election, the Target Companies, as well as any of Purchaser’s or the Target Companies’ successors, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents from and against any and all Liabilities (whether present or future, actual or contingent) and Damages incurred by Purchaser, the Target Companies or any of Purchaser’s or the Target Companies’ successors, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents relating to or arising out of (i) any breach of any of the representations made by Seller in Section 12.5.1 and (ii) any Environmental Liabilities other than Excluded Environmental Liabilities.

Page 57 of 79

12.5.3 Seller’s aggregate liability under Section 12.5 shall be capped as follows (each such amount, as applicable, an “Environmental Liability Cap”):

(a) from the Closing Date through the third anniversary of the Closing Date (including), at an amount equal to 50% of the Base Amount;

(b) from the third anniversary of the Closing Date through the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date (including), at an amount equal to 25% of the Base Amount and;

(c) from the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date through the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date (including), at an amount equal to 15% of the Base Amount.

The relevant time for determining the applicable Environmental Cap shall be the time when the Environmental Liability is first asserted by Purchaser and notified to Seller in accordance with Section 12.5.5, provided, that, in the event Purchaser delivers notice of any claim for indemnification prior to relevant anniversary, Seller’s indemnification obligation shall survive with respect to such claim up to the Environmental Liability Cap applicable at the time of delivery of the respective notice until the claim is finally resolved. In no event shall the liability of Seller for Environmental Liabilities under this Agreement exceed a total amount of 50% of the Base Amount.

Examples:

If there is a payment of 50% of the Base Amount on an Environmental Liability asserted in the 1st period, then Seller shall not be liable for any further Environmental Liabilities.

If there is a payment of 15% of the Base Amount on an Environmental Liability asserted in the 1st period, then 25% will be available in the 2nd period. If then there is a payment of 20% of the Base Amount on an Environmental Liability asserted in the 2nd period, then only 5% will be available in the 3rd period.

12.5.4 Any payments made by Seller under this Section 12.5 shall only count against the Environmental Liability Cap and not against the Liability Cap and vice-versa. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Tipping Basket nor the De Minimis Claims shall be relevant for the indemnity set forth under this Section 12.5. Except for Excluded Environmental Liabilities for which Seller shall not be liable, the indemnities contained in this Section 12.5 shall apply irrespective of any fault or negligence of Seller and irrespective of whether or not the relevant matter is disclosed in this Agreement or has otherwise been disclosed to, or is known by, Purchaser.

12.5.5 Environmental Liabilities, Existing Environmental Condition, Hazardous Materials and Excluded Environmental Liabilities shall each have the following meaning:

(a) “Environmental Liabilities” shall mean all Damages resulting or arising from or relating to the following:

Page 58 of 79

(i) any violation of, or non-compliance with, any Environmental Law by any Person on or prior to the Closing Date (“Non-Compliance Occurrence”);

(ii) any Damages incurred by Purchaser or the Target Companies to bring the Target Companies into compliance with any applicable Environmental Laws in connection with any Non-Compliance Occurrence;

(iii) any obligations imposed by Law on Purchaser or any Target Company to carry out investigation measures for purposes of risk assessment, clean-up measures, securing measures, protective containment measures or measures or actions to eliminate, reduce or otherwise remedy an immediate danger or adverse effect to life or health or to examine or treat any medical condition, in each case relating to or arising out of an Existing Environmental Condition; and

(iv) any actual claims of third parties (including Government Entities) relating to, or as a result of, Existing Environmental Conditions.

(b) “Existing Environmental Condition” shall mean the presence on or prior to the Closing Date of (i) Hazardous Materials used in the Business (ii), Hazardous Materials off site or (iii) Hazardous Materials on site in the soil, leachate (Sickerwasser), soil-vapor (Bodenluft), ground water, surface water (Oberflächenwasser), air or building of the Owned Real Property and the Leased Real Property or any other real properties which have been owned, occupied or used by any Target Company or any of their successors on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively the “Covered Properties”).

(c) “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any pollutants, contaminants or hazardous substances according to the Environmental Laws including, without limitation, oil, petroleum, asbestos, hazardous wastes or toxic, explosive or radioactive substances.

(d) “Excluded Environmental Liabilities” are those actions set out in Annex 12.5.1.

12.5.6 If Purchaser or any Target Company becomes aware after the Closing Date of any new circumstances giving a reasonably clear indication of an Environmental Liability (other than an Excluded Environmental Liability), Purchaser shall give Seller Parent written notice within sixty (60) days thereof (the “Environmental Liability Notice”). The Environmental Liability Notice shall state the nature and amount of the Environmental Liability, if and to the extent that such amount can with reasonable effort be determined at the time the Environmental Liability Notice is given. To the extent reasonably required by Seller Parent to assess the Environmental Liability, and subject to Purchaser and the Target Companies being reimbursed their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses by Seller Parent, Purchaser shall provide, and shall cause that the Target Companies provide, Seller Parent and its professional advisers access during normal business hours to the Covered Properties (to the extent owned, occupied or used by any of the Target Companies), their relevant books, other records and management and copies of relevant documents and other information.

Page 59 of 79

12.5.7 All clean-up and other measures or actions undertaken by Purchaser with respect to any Environmental Liability (other than with respect to Excluded Environmental Liabilities) shall be conducted after prior consultation (Anhörung) with Seller Parent only, unless immediate action is required (Gefahr im Verzug). Purchaser shall, subject to Sections 12.5.8 through 12.5.10 and Section 12.6 below, keep Seller Parent reasonably informed of the status of any proceeding with regard to any Environmental Liability (other than with respect to Excluded Environmental Liabilities and solely if and to the extent the Environmental Liability Cap has not been exceeded).

12.5.8 Purchaser and the Target Companies shall not have a claim under Section 12.5.2(ii) if and to the extent that:

(a) Purchaser has failed to comply with its obligations under Sections 12.5.6 through 12.5.7 and such failure has materially and actually affected the ability of the respective Seller to avoid or mitigate the Environmental Liability;

(b) the Environmental Liability is a result of an investigation conducted by Purchaser or a Target Company (i) without concrete circumstances which give a reasonable indication of a potential Environmental Liability or (ii) only in order to benefit from the indemnity for an Environmental Liability set forth in this Agreement; or

(c) the Environmental Liability is not based on either of the following: the relevant Target Company is required to remedy the relevant matter by a court order or enforceable (sofort vollziehbar) decision of a governmental authority, the relevant remediation or action is required pursuant to any Environmental Law or (ii) a third party claim.

12.5.9 If a claim is brought forward or proceedings are initiated with regard to an Environmental Liability (other than with regard to Excluded Environmental Liabilities), Purchaser shall inform Seller Parent of all developments and events relating to such claim and Seller Parent may, at its expense, employ own counsel and attend and participate in all conferences, meetings and proceedings relating to such claim. If Seller unconditionally acknowledges (anerkennen) in writing to Purchaser its obligation to indemnify Purchaser and the Target Companies pursuant to Section 12.5 for Damages arising from or in connection with circumstances on which (i) actual claims of third parties (including governmental authorities) or (ii) a court order, a decision of a governmental authority or court judgment are based, Seller shall be entitled to control the defense against the third party claim, court order, decision or judgment. In this case Purchaser shall provide, and shall cause that the Target Companies provide, to Seller all relevant documents, other information and assistance reasonably required by Seller for the defense. Seller shall keep Purchaser informed to a reasonable extent of the status of the defense. Seller shall not be permitted to settle or compromise any proceedings without the written consent of Purchaser unless the settlement or compromise involves only the payment of monetary damages to be paid only by Seller and does not require the finding or admission of a violation of Law or the violation of the rights of any Person by Purchaser, the Target Companies or their Affiliates. No admission of liability shall be made by Purchaser or the Target Companies in the proceedings controlled by Seller, and the proceedings shall not be settled (whether by acknowledgement or otherwise), without the prior written consent of Seller.

12.5.10 In the absence of an unconditional acknowledgement by Seller as provided in Section 12.5.9, the defense against the court order, decision, judgment or third party claim shall be controlled by Purchaser or the Target Companies, as the case may be. Seller shall be allowed to participate in the defense at its own expense with its own counsel. Purchaser shall keep Seller Parent informed to a reasonable extent of the status of defense. Neither Purchaser nor any Target Company shall have an obligation to defend against or take any action or opposition to or against any proceedings initiated by a court, governmental or other authority or any third party with respect to an Environmental Liability and Purchaser or the Target Companies shall be free to acknowledge or settle any such proceedings if in their reasonable opinion such acknowledgement or settlement is in their own best interest.

Section 14

Separation Issues

14.1 Settlement of Intercompany Receivables and Intercompany Payables

14.1.1 Seller shall use best efforts to cause the settlement/discharge of any receivables or payables between any of the Target Companies on the one hand and any member of the Technitrol Group on the other hand prior to the Closing Date regardless of the respective due dates of such receivables/payables, but excluding the Mexican Receivable. The settlement of the intercompany receivables and payables (other than those taken into account for the AMI Germany Debt Balance which may only be settled by virtue of set-offs) may require assignments of intercompany receivables and/or payables and also the contribution or distribution of capital. Seller shall cause the Target Companies to engage in such transactions in compliance with applicable Law to effect the settlement of intercompany receivables and payables prior to Closing.

Page 63 of 79

14.1.2 Excluding any amounts to be taken into account for the determination of the AMI Germany Debt Balance, intercompany receivables and/or intercompany payables which are not settled prior to the Closing Date shall be taken into account in the Closing Date Statement (as part of the Net Financial Indebtedness) and in the Intercompany Debt Balance (as defined in Section 14.1.3 below).

14.1.3 Excluding any amounts to be taken into account for the determination of the AMI Germany Debt Balance, (i) amounts owed by any of the Target Companies to any member of the Technitrol Group not settled prior to the Closing Date shall be referred to as “Intercompany Payables” and (ii) amounts owed by any company of the Technitrol Group to any of the Target Companies not settled prior to the Closing Date shall be referred to as “Intercompany Receivables”. The balance of such Intercompany Payables and Intercompany Receivables – i.e. the remaining amount following a netting of the Intercompany Payables and the Intercompany Receivables – shall be referred to as the “Intercompany Debt Balance”.

14.1.4 To the extent the Intercompany Payables exceed the Intercompany Receivables (the “Positive Intercompany Debt Balance”) the Purchase Price shall be increased Euro for Euro (but this increase will be balanced by a respective increase of Financial Indebtedness (as defined in Annex 6.2.1) in Net Financial Indebtedness) by the respective excess amount. To the extent the Intercompany Receivables exceed the Intercompany Payables (the “Negative Intercompany Debt Balance”) the Purchase Price shall be decreased (but this decrease will be balanced by a respective increase of Liquid Assets (as defined in Annex 6.2.1) in Net Financial Indebtedness) by the respective excess amount.

Example:

If on the Closing Date, the Intercompany Payables amounts to € 3,000,000 and the Intercompany Receivables to € 100,000, the Positive Intercompany Debt Balance would amount to € 2,900,000 and the Purchase Price would be increased by € 2,900,000. (The Positive Intercompany Debt Balance would be assigned to Purchaser.) However, the amount of the Positive Intercompany Debt Balance of € 2,900,000 that increases the Purchase Price is to be included into Financial Indebtedness (as defined in Annex 6.2.1) in Net Financial Indebtedness and therefore reduces the Purchase Price by the same amount.

14.1.5 Seller estimates that on the Closing Date, there will be a Positive Intercompany Debt Balance. A schedule showing the amounts of the Intercompany Receivables and Intercompany Payables (with a break down relating to the respective entities) as well as all receivables and payables existing between the Target Companies (the “Intra-Company Receivables/Payables”) (with a break down relating to the respective entities), in each case as of June 25, 2010, is set forth in Annex 14.1.5. Seller shall settle the Intercompany Receivables, Intercompany Payables and Intra-Company Receivables/Payables in accordance with Annex 14.1.5 provided that with respect to footnote c), Seller shall prior to the Closing Date reduce the relevant amounts to at least USD 100,000 or less each and provided further that with respect to footnote d) Seller and Seller Parent shall use best efforts (including to obtain the relevant governmental approval) to settle fully the relevant amounts prior to the Closing Date.

Page 64 of 79

14.1.6 The Intercompany Debt Balance shall be settled as follows:

(a) Seller and Seller Parent shall on the Closing Date assign, or shall procure that the relevant creditors of the Intercompany Payables existing on the Closing Date assign, to Purchaser or any other Person to be nominated by Purchaser, the Intercompany Payables existing on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be entitled to determine in its free and sole discretion which portion of the Intercompany Payables existing on the Closing Date shall be assigned to Purchaser and/or any of its nominees.

(b) Purchaser or any Person to be nominated by Purchaser shall on the Closing Date agree with the relevant Target Companies and Seller or Seller Parent (or Seller and Seller Parent shall procure that the relevant debtor of remaining Intercompany Receivable enters into such agreement) that Purchaser or any Person to be nominated by Purchaser assumes the payment obligation under the Intercompany Receivables existing on the Closing Date and that the relevant debtor is fully discharged of such payment obligation. The last sentence of the preceding sub-paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis.

14.1.7 The agreements to be entered into pursuant to Section 14.1.6 shall be in form and substance substantially as set forth in Annex 14.1.7.

14.1.8 If adjustments are made to the Intercompany Debt Balance in the Closing Date Statement (as agreed between the Parties or as determined by the Expert), Section 14.1.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis and the Parties shall settle the Intercompany Debt Balance without undue delay after delivery of the Closing Date Statement (as agreed between the Parties or as determined by the Expert) in accordance therewith.

14.1.9 After determination in the Closing Date Statement (as agreed between the Parties or as determined by the Expert) of the amounts relevant for this Section 14, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and all other companies of the Technitrol Group against any remaining liability contrary to the assignment/discharge effect set forth in Sections 14.1.1 and 14.1.6, and Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and the Target Companies against any remaining liability contrary to the aforementioned assignment/discharge effect set forth in Sections 14.1.1 and 14.1.6, provided that in each case the relevant parties shall assign or assume, as the case may be, any remaining Intercompany Payables or Intercompany Receivables in accordance with Section 14.1.6 and 14.1.7.

14.2 Termination of Profit and Loss Pooling Agreement

14.2.1 Seller undertakes (i) to cause that (steht dafür ein, dass) AMI Germany with the consent of the competent fiscal authorities change its fiscal year to the effect that a short fiscal year (Rumpfgeschäftsjahr) runs for the period from January 1, 2010 until or before the Closing Date and (ii) terminate the Domination and Profit and Loss Pooling Agreement by means of termination in mutual agreement (Aufhebungsvertrag) pursuant to Section 296 (1) German Stock Corporation Act with effect as of the end of the short fiscal year or any other day after the end of the short fiscal year as agreed in writing between the Parties (herein “Termination Date”).

14.2.2 Any amounts owed

Page 65 of 79

(a) by AMI Germany to Seller as profit transfer obligation for periods until the Termination Date shall for the period between January 1, 2010 and the Termination Date be determined on the basis of audited year-end accounts of AMI Germany for the short fiscal year ending on the Termination Date (herein “Termination Accounts”),

(b) by Seller to AMI Germany as loss compensation obligation for periods until the Termination Date shall for the period between January 1, 2010 and the Termination Date be determined on the basis of the Termination Accounts, and

any such amounts pursuant to (a) and (b) shall be taken into account for the determination of the AMI Germany Debt Balance.

14.2.3 The Termination Accounts shall be prepared by AMI Germany in accordance with German GAAP pursuant to the German Commercial Code (HGB) and audited within three (3) months after the Closing Date by a public accountant designated by Purchaser. Purchaser shall instruct such designated public accountant to deliver the Termination Accounts along with the auditor’s opinion (Bestätigungsvermerk) to the Parties as soon as reasonably practicable after the Termination Date, but not later than three (3) months after the Closing Date.

14.3 Special Covenants and Guarantees regarding the AMI Germany Debt Balance, the Intercompany Debt Balance and the Intra-Company Receivables/Payables

14.3.1 Seller Parent shall

(a) use best efforts to cause that from the date of this Agreement until and including the Closing Date, neither Seller nor AMI Germany nor any Affiliate of Seller Parent (i) transfers, assigns or waives any receivable or payable taken into account for the determination of the AMI Germany Debt Balance or the Intercompany Debt Balance and (ii) makes or enters into any agreement or arrangement or makes any payment that would result in an increase to the AMI Germany Debt Balance or the Intercompany Debt Balance, in each case other than in the Ordinary Course of Business or with the prior written consent of Purchaser or in compliance with Section 14.1 above;

(b) cause that Seller and AMI Germany, prior to the termination of the Domination and Profit and Loss Pooling Agreement becoming effective, net (by way of offset) the amounts taken into account for the determination of the AMI Germany Debt Balance and convert the amounts relating to the Domination and Profit and Loss Pooling Agreement remaining after such netting into a loan; and

(c) cause that at the Closing Date, the Final Purchase Price is not negative, i.e. the AMI Germany Debt Balance does not exceed the Purchase Price as adjusted by the Final Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Final Net Financial Indebtedness, the Intercompany Debt Balance and the Third-Party Precious Metals Adjustment Amount.

Page 66 of 79

14.3.2 Seller Parent hereby guarantees by way of an independent promise of guarantee pursuant to Section 311 para. 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB) (selbständiges Garantieversprechen im Sinne des § 311 Abs. 1 BGB) that

(a) Annex 6.2.2(4) and Annex 14.1.5 have been prepared with the care of a prudent business person (mit der Sorgfalt eines ordentlichen Kaufmanns);

14.3.3 After determination in the Closing Date Statement (as agreed between the Parties or as determined by the Expert) of the amounts relevant for this Section 14, Section 14.1.9 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the AMI Germany Debt Balance.

14.4 Termination and Settlement of Intercompany Agreements; Release

14.4.1 Except as set forth in this Agreement and without prejudice to Section 14.1 and 14.2, with effect from the Closing Date, all contracts or arrangement among any Target Company, its directors, officers and employees, on the one hand, and any of Seller, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Target Companies), on the other hand, (the “Intercompany Agreements”) shall be terminated with full release of the Target Companies and any member of the Technitrol Group from all claims, liabilities and other obligations.

Page 73 of 79

21.2   Dispute Resolution

21.2.1   Notwithstanding the dispute resolution mechanism regarding the Closing Date Statement set forth in Section 7.5 through 7.7 none of the Parties shall institute arbitral proceedings according to Section 21.2.2 to resolve a dispute between the Parties, whether arising prior to, at, or after the Closing Date, before that Party has sought to resolve the dispute through direct negotiation with the other Party or Parties. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after a demand for direct negotiation, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation. If the Parties do not promptly agree on a mediator, then either Party may notify the Chamber of Commerce and Trade (Industrie- und Handelskammer) in Frankfurt am Main to initiate selection of a mediator with profound experience in M&A transactions. The fees and expenses of the mediator shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser.

21.2.2   In case the Parties are unable to reach a settlement through mediation, any dispute, controversy or claim arising from or in connection with this Agreement or its validity shall be finally settled by three arbitrators (of which at least two shall be practicing German lawyers (Rechtsanwälte) with profound experience in M&A transactions) in accordance with the arbitration rules of the German Institution of Arbitration e.V. (DIS), as in effect from time to time, without recourse to the ordinary courts of law. The place of arbitration shall be Frankfurt, Germany. The language of the arbitral proceedings shall be English, provided, however, that written evidence may be submitted in either the English or German language. In the event that mandatory applicable law requires any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and its execution to be decided upon by an ordinary court of law, the competent courts in Frankfurt am Main shall have the exclusive jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the arbitrators shall be paid by the party whom the arbitrators rule against in such a dispute.

21.3   Amendments, Supplementations

Any amendment or supplementation of this Agreement, including of this provision, shall be valid only if made in writing by all the Parties, except where a stricter form (e.g., notarization) is required under applicable law.

21.4   Language; Interpretation

21.4.1   This Agreement is written in the English language (except that Annexes may be partly in the German language). Terms to which a German translation has been added shall be interpreted throughout this Agreement in the meaning assigned to them by the German translation.

21.4.2   Any reference made in this Agreement to any types of companies or participations, proceedings, authorities or other bodies, rights, institutions, regulations or legal relationships (collectively, the “Legal Terms”) under German law shall extend to any corresponding or identical Legal Terms under foreign law to the extent that relevant facts and circumstances must be assessed under such foreign law. Where no corresponding or identical Legal Terms under foreign law exist, such Legal Terms shall be introduced as – functionally – come closest to the Legal Terms under German law.

21.4.3   Wherever this Agreement refers to a contract or other agreement, such reference shall apply to and include all ancillary agreements, arrangements, amendments, side letters, waivers and other legally binding statements, if any, related thereto.

21.6   Annexes

All Annexes attached hereto form an integral part of this Agreement.

21.7   Entire Agreement

This Agreement and the agreements expressly referenced in accordance with the German Code of Authentication (Beurkundungsgesetz) constitute the full understanding of the Parties and the complete and exclusive statements of the terms and conditions of the Parties’ agreements relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, whether final or in draft form, that may exist between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement or parts thereof. Side agreements to this Agreement do not exist.

21.8   Severability

Should any provision of this Agreement be or become invalid, ineffective or unenforceable as a whole or in part, the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. Any such invalid, ineffective or unenforceable provision shall be deemed replaced by such valid, effective and enforceable provision as comes closest to the economic intent and the purpose of such invalid, ineffective or unenforceable provision as regards subject-matter, amount, time, place and extent. The aforesaid shall apply mutatis mutandis to any gap in this Agreement.
