The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards, applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Interim Balance Sheet. “Closing Working Capital” shall mean (A) the current assets of the Business (excluding Cash and Excluded Assets) minus (B) the current liabilities of the Business (excluding Excluded Liabilities, any reserve for warranty claims or returns and giving effect to Seller’s payment of any payables on the Closing Date), all as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet and the records of Seller maintained in the Ordinary Course of Business and calculated in accordance with the Accounting Standards applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Interim Balance Sheet.

The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards, applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Interim Balance Sheet, without giving effect to the changes to the balance sheet as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.

-14-

(ii) Following the Closing, each of Buyer and Seller shall give the other party reasonable access at all reasonable times to the properties, books, records and personnel of the Business for purposes of preparing, reviewing and resolving any disputes concerning the Closing Date Statement.

If Buyer fails to provide a Notice of Disagreement to Seller within such 30-day period, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Statement shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. In the event that Buyer shall provide a Notice of Disagreement to Seller within such 30-day period, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the dispute as promptly as possible.

(iii) If Buyer timely provides a Notice of Disagreement to Seller, and if Buyer and Seller fail to resolve the dispute with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Date Statement and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital within thirty 30 days of Seller’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and Seller shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to Ernst & Young LLP (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution applying the Accounting Standards; provided, however, that the Independent Accountants shall be limited to selecting either the Closing Working Capital amount reflected on Seller’s Closing Statement or the Closing Working Capital amount reflected on the Notice of Disagreement submitted by Buyer. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (A) Buyer and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; (B) Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Independent Accountants to review only those items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Notice of Disagreement, to make their determination based solely on such materials presented by Buyer and Seller (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review) and to resolve the dispute with respect to each such specified item and amount in accordance with the Accounting Standards, applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Interim Balance Sheet, and in accordance with the definition of Closing Working Capital set forth in this Agreement; (C) the determination of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Buyer and Seller within sixty (60) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute (or as soon thereafter as

-15-

practicable), shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties; and (D) the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants shall be borne (x) by Buyer if the Independent Accountants select the Closing Balance Sheet and/or Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital reflected on the Closing Statement, or (y) by Seller, if the Independent Accountants select Buyer’s Closing Balance Sheet or calculation of the Closing Working Capital reflected on the Notice of Disagreement. The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Statement, either as agreed to by Buyer and Seller or as determined by the Independent Accountants pursuant to this paragraph, shall be final and binding and shall be referred to respectively as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” and the “Final Closing Date Statement.”

(iv) No objection may be raised and no adjustment may be proposed to any entry or item contained in the Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Date Statement except on the grounds that such item or entry is not in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Accounting Standards, applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Interim Balance Sheet, or that such item or entry contains a mathematical error.

(i) On the tenth business day following the determination of the Final Closing Date Statement; either (A) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount by which (x) Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Final Closing Date Statement is greater than (y) the Estimated Working Capital, or (B) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount by which (x) Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Final Closing Date Statement is less than (y) the Estimated Working Capital.

(ii) The amount referred to in §2.6(c)(i) shall be paid by the paying party under §2.6(c)(i) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the other party.

(iii) Buyer or Seller may offset any amounts currently due to it from the other Party under this Agreement against any amounts currently due from it to the other Party under this §2.6(c).

(d) The Parties agree that $29,000 of the total consideration, as determined for tax purposes, will be allocated to the PEPL Quotas. The Parties agree that the total consideration, as determined for tax purposes (less the amount allocated to the PEPL Quotas), paid for the Acquired Assets, will be allocated to such assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar provision of state, local and foreign law, as appropriate. Seller shall provide Buyer with a proposed schedule detailing such allocation within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (the “Allocation Schedule”), and Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree on a final allocation within 75 days thereafter. The purchase price allocation shall be revised for any adjustments to the total consideration paid hereunder as necessary, including for adjustment pursuant to §2.7, as mutually agreed to by Seller

-16-

and Buyer. Except as otherwise required by law, the parties to this Agreement will file all Tax Returns and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer, Stanadyne or Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any taxing authority based upon or arising out of the purchase price allocation, and none of Buyer, Seller and Stanadyne shall be required to litigate before any court, any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any taxing authority challenging such purchase price allocation. The parties will promptly inform one another of any challenge by any governmental authority to any allocation made in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, and the parties agree to consult and keep one another informed with respect to the status of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.

2.7. Earn-Out.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, but in no event later than ninety (90) days thereafter, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement of income (loss) of the Business as operated by Seller, Buyer or its successors or assigns (the “Earn-Out Income Statement”) for the period starting on (x) if the Closing Date occurs on or before the fifteenth fiscal day of the month in which the Closing occurs, the first fiscal day of such month or (y) if the Closing Date occurs after the fifteenth fiscal day of the month in which the Closing occurs, the first fiscal day of the month immediately following the Closing Date (the date referred to in (x) or (y), the “Earn Out Start Date”) until the last fiscal day of the month that is twelve months after the Earn Out Start Date (the “Earn-Out Period”), including, without limitation, a calculation of EBITDA (as defined below) for the Earn-Out Period. The Earn-Out Income Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Interim Statements. The portion of such statement covering the year ended December 31, 2006 shall be included in the consolidated financial statements audited by Buyer’s accounting firm. During the Earn-Out Period, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business in a commercially reasonable fashion (including by not taking any action or making any operational changes having the principal purpose of reducing EBITDA) and shall maintain books and records adequate to permit an audit of the Business as a stand-alone division. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer agrees and covenants that, during the Earn-Out Period, (i) Buyer will not divert any business opportunity relating to the Products, customers or sales of Products from Buyer to any of Buyer’s Affiliates or other business divisions; (ii) Buyer will continue to manufacture Products so long as, in Buyer’s good faith judgment, sufficient demand exists for such Products (and if Buyer determines that sufficient demand does not exist, Buyer will provide supporting documentation, such as written communication from customers, to that effect), in order to meet such demand; and (iii) all sales of Products, whether effected by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, will be included in the calculation of EBITDA; provided, however¸ that none of the obligations in clauses (i) through (iii) above shall apply to any products of a type that Buyer can demonstrate was manufactured by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer prior to Closing.

-17-

(b) Following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall give the other party reasonable access at all reasonable times to the properties, books, records and personnel of the Business for purposes of preparing, reviewing and resolving any disputes concerning the Earn-Out Income Statement. Seller shall have 30 days following the delivery to Seller of the Earn-Out Income Statement during which to provide written notice to Buyer of any dispute of any item contained in the Earn-Out Income Statement (the “Earn-Out Objection Notice”), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute and Seller’s calculation of EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period. If Seller fails to provide an Earn-Out Objection Notice to Buyer within such 30-day period, the Earn-Out Income Statement shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. In the event that Seller shall provide an Earn-Out Objection Notice to Buyer within such 30-day period, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the dispute as promptly as possible and agree upon a mutually satisfactory income statement which reflects EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period. If Seller timely provides an Earn-Out Objection Notice to Buyer, and if Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such objections within 30 days of Buyer’s receipt of the Earn-Out Objection Notice, Buyer and Seller shall submit the items remaining in dispute to the Independent Accountant; provided, however, that the Independent Accountants shall be limited to selecting either the EBITDA amount reflected on Buyer’s Earn-Out Income Statement or the EBITDA amount reflected on the Earn-Out Objection Notice submitted by Seller. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (A) Buyer and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; (B) Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Independent Accountants to make their determination based solely on such materials presented by Buyer and Seller (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review) and to resolve the dispute with respect to each such specified item and amount in accordance with the Accounting Standards, applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Interim Statements, and in accordance with the definition of EBITDA set forth in this Agreement; (C) the determination of EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Buyer and Seller within sixty (60) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute (or as soon thereafter as practicable), shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties; and (D) the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants shall be borne (x) by Seller if the Independent Accountants select Buyer’s calculation of EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period reflected on the Earn-Out Income Statement, or (y) by Buyer, if the Independent Accountants select Seller’s calculation of EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period reflected on the Earn-Out Objection Notice. The Earn-Out Income Statement, either as agreed to by Buyer and Seller or as determined by the Independent Accountants pursuant to this paragraph, shall be final and binding and shall be referred to as the “Final Earn-Out Income Statement” for the respective Earn-Out Period. Any amounts to be paid pursuant to §2.7(d) below shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of the determination of the Final Earn-Out Income Statement for such Earn-Out Period.

-18-

(c) No objection may be raised and no adjustment may be proposed to any entry or item contained in the Earn-Out Income Statement or the calculation of EBITDA (as defined below), except on the grounds that such item or entry is not in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Accounting Standards, applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Interim Statements, or that such item or entry contains a mathematical error.

(d) For the Earn-Out Period, Buyer shall pay to Seller, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in immediately available funds to a United States bank account designated to Buyer by Seller in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such payment, the product (the “Earn-Out Amount”) of (i) the excess, if a positive number, of (A) EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period over (B) the Earn-Out Threshold (as hereinafter defined), multiplied by (ii) 5; provided, however, that in no event shall the Earn-Out Amount exceed $10,000,000. The “Earn-Out Threshold” shall initially mean $5,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided below.

(e) If, during the Earn-Out Period, Buyer sells, leases, transfers or otherwise disposes of assets material to the Business, or buys, leases or otherwise acquires material assets related to the Business which are subsequently operated as part of the Business, Buyer and Seller agree to negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the Earn-Out Threshold, which shall be adjusted to reflect the impact of such acquisition or disposition.

(f) For purposes of this §2.7, “EBITDA” shall mean the consolidated net income of the Business before interest income or expense, taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, and non-recurring or extraordinary gains or charges and shall be calculated based on the following principles:

(i) Sales or transfers of products and the provision of services from Buyer to or from its Affiliates will be valued at prices charged to regular customers of Buyer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, for similar products or services (or, if such products or services are not sold or provided to regular customers, then they will be valued at cost);

(ii) EBITDA shall exclude any expense related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) EBITDA shall exclude all corporate and allocated overhead charges above $500,000, including any management or license fees charged by Buyer or its Affiliates;

(v) EBITDA shall exclude any expense for lease or rental payments of any property or equipment, other than property or equipment that is leased by Seller or PEPL as of the Closing Date (or any property or equipment rented or leased to replace such property or equipment); and

(vi) EBITDA shall exclude any income or expense directly attributable to any significant operational change to the Business made by Buyer after the Closing, except for the changes set forth on Schedule 2.7(f)(vi), which will include the termination of 12 employees by Seller and termination of the Michigan Lease by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, capital improvements in excess of $1,000,000 with respect to a single project (excluding any capital improvements currently planned or commenced by Seller) shall constitute a significant operational change for purposes of this Section 2.7(f)(vi).

(g) Buyer may offset any amounts currently due from Seller to Buyer under this Agreement against any amounts currently due to Seller under this §2.7.

(b) To the extent that the assignment to Buyer of any outstanding contract, agreement, license, lease, permit or authorization pursuant to this Agreement is not permitted without the consent of another party, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an undertaking to assign the same if such consent is not given; provided, that Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts, both before and after the Closing, to obtain all such consents and, at Buyer’s request, Seller shall cooperate in any arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the benefits and obligations of any such contract, agreement, license, lease, permit or authorization. If and when any such consents are obtained after the Closing, Seller shall promptly assign its rights and obligations under the related contract, agreement, license, lease, permit or authorization to Buyer and Buyer shall, without payment of any consideration therefore, assume such rights and obligations.

2.10. Withholdings. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Brazilian

-20-

Tax law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld by Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller. If the Brazilian taxing authority determines that withholding tax in excess of the amount withheld at Closing is due with respect to the transfer of the PEPL Quotas, Seller agrees to bear the burden of such withholding tax (including any interest and penalties thereon) (such amounts, “Brazilian Withholding Taxes”).

Buyer shall prepare all Tax Returns of PEPL and all Tax Returns relating to the Business that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall provide Seller with drafts of all income Tax Returns of PEPL for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including Tax Returns that cover Straddle Periods) prepared by Buyer no later than thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of the due date or filing date thereof. Seller shall have the right to review and provide comments on Returns during the fifteen (15)-day period following the receipt of such Returns and Buyer shall accept all reasonable comments to the extent such comments affect Taxes of PEPL in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller in writing upon receipt by PEPL of a written notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments for which Seller may have liability pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Buyer in notifying the Seller shall relieve the Buyer from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) Seller is thereby prejudiced. Seller shall have right to control the conduct of any audit or assessment of Tax of PEPL for a period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date and for any audit or assessment of withholding Tax on the transfer of the PEPL Quotas (each such claim, a “Seller’s Tax Contest Claim”) so long as (i) Seller notifies the Buyer in writing within 30 days after the Buyer notifies the Seller of such Tax Contest Claim that the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer in connection with such Seller’s Tax Contest Claim, (ii) Seller conducts the defense of the Seller’s Tax Contest Claim actively and diligently, (iii) Seller pays the fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the Seller’s Tax Contest Claim and (iv) Seller keeps the Buyer informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of the Seller’s Tax Contest Claim. Seller shall not compromise or settle any Seller’s Tax Contest Claim, without obtaining the Buyer’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct of any audit or assessment of Tax of PEPL for any Straddle Period, provided if Seller could have any liability pursuant to this Agreement for Taxes owed with respect to a Straddle Period Tax claim (such claim, a “Straddle Period Tax Contest Claim”), Buyer and Seller shall jointly engage Deloitte & Touche or such other internationally recognized accounting firm as Buyer and Seller mutually agree to conduct the defense of such Straddle Period Tax Contest Claim taking into account the interests of Buyer and Seller. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall settle any Straddle Period Tax Contest Claim without obtaining written consent of the other party hereto, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer shall control all other audit, examinations or administrative proceedings in respect of Taxes of PEPL.

In addition, to the extent that a claim for Tax refund or a Tax proceeding results in a payment or credit against Tax by a taxing authority to Buyer or PEPL of any Tax liability accrued on the Final Closing Balance Sheet and taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, Buyer shall pay such amount (net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred to obtain such Tax refund or credit and net of any Taxes imposed on Buyer or PEPL as a result of the receipt of such Tax refunds or credit) to Seller within 15 days after receipt or entitle thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to receive any Tax refunds or credits of PEPL (i) that arise from the carryback of an item of loss, deduction, credit or other Tax benefit which arises after the Closing Date or (ii) that are set forth on the Final Closing Balance Sheet and included in the calculation of Closing Working Capital.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 20 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim, (ii) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party pays the fees and disbursements of such counsel with regards thereto. Prior to the time which the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense hereunder, the Indemnified Party may take such actions as are necessary to preserve the ability to defend such Third Party Claim.

(c) Subject to the provisions of §9.4(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, that the reasonable costs and expenses of one counsel (in addition to local counsel) to the Indemnified Party will be paid by the Indemnifying Party if (A) in the opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and any Indemnified Party or (B) the Third Party Claim seeks nonmonetary relief, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim unless such settlement is for monetary payments only and a written agreement is obtained releasing the Indemnified Party from all liability thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the case of fraud, the limitations on indemnification (including as to duration and amount) contained in §9.1 or elsewhere in this §9 shall not apply to any claim for indemnification under this §9 by an Indemnified Party.

-53-

9.7. Determination of Loss Amount.

(a) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under §9.1(a) shall be calculated net of (i) any Tax benefit realized in the form of a reduction in cash Tax payments by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for income tax purposes in the year in which the Loss was incurred as a result of such Loss and the present value of any Tax benefits likely to be received in the form of a reduction in cash Tax Payments by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for income tax purposes in future years as a result of such Loss, (ii) any reserves or accruals with respect to any Loss solely to the extent of the amount of such reserve or accrual that is included in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, and (iii) any insurance proceeds or other amounts under indemnification agreements with any third party as and when received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties on account of such Loss, net of any costs or expenses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in recovering such proceeds. The amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under §9.1 relating to Taxes shall include amounts that would have constituted Losses but for the set off or other utilization of any loss, deduction or credit arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period.

(b) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under §9.2 shall be calculated net of (i) any Tax benefit realized in the form of a reduction in cash Tax payments by the Seller Indemnified Parties for income tax purposes in the year in which the Loss was incurred as a result of such Loss and the present value of any Tax benefits likely to be received in the form of a reduction in cash Tax Payments by the Seller Indemnified Parties for income tax purposes in future years as a result of such Loss and (ii) any insurance proceeds or other amounts under indemnification agreements with any third party as and when received by the Seller Indemnified Parties on account of such Loss, net of any costs or expenses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties in recovering such proceeds. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (not to exceed the amount of the indemnification payment, and net of any related costs or expenses as provided above) shall be made promptly to the Buyer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Seller nor Stanadyne shall be liable to, or indemnify, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, and Buyer shall not be liable to or indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties, for any Losses that are punitive (except to the extent constituting third party punitive claims).

9.8. Exclusive Remedy. Buyer agrees that the indemnification provided in §9.1 is the exclusive remedy for a breach by Seller of any representation or warranty contained in §3 of this Agreement and for a breach by Stanadyne of any representation or warranty contained in §4 of this Agreement.
