All transfer, sales, value added, stamp duty and similar Taxes payable in respect of the sale of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement will be paid by the Buyer. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any of the Purchased Assets the supply of which would, but for the provisions of article 5 of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995, constitute a supply of goods or services where the place of supply is the United Kingdom (“UK Assets”):

(a) The Sellers and the Buyer intend that article 5 of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995 shall apply to the sale of the UK Assets under this Agreement and agree to use all reasonable endeavours to secure that the sale is treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services under that article.

(b) The Sellers warrant that each relevant Seller in respect of UK Assets is a taxable person for the purposes of section 3 of the Value Added Tax Xxx 0000 (“VATA 1994”), and is using the UK Assets to carry on a business as a going concern.

Following receipt of the VAT invoice, the Buyer shall pay the relevant Sellers the amount of that VAT within five business days.

(e) Before sending any relevant letter to HM Revenue & Customs, the relevant Sellers shall give the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to comment on it, and shall make such amendments as the Buyer reasonably requires.

(f) The relevant Sellers shall, on request, make available any information and documents in their control required to establish to HM Revenue & Customs and any tribunal or court that no liability, or a reduced liability, arises on the Buyer or any other company under section 44 of VATA 1994 as a result of the sale of the UK Assets.

(g) The Sellers and the Buyer intend that section 49 of VATA 1994 shall apply to the sale of the UK Assets under this Agreement but they do not intend to make a joint application to HM Revenue & Customs for the Buyer to be registered for VAT under the VAT registration number of the relevant Sellers, pursuant to Regulation 6(1)(d) of the VAT Regulations 1995.

(h) If the Buyer pays a Seller an amount in respect of VAT under Section 2.4(b) and HM Revenue & Customs notes that all or part of it was not properly chargeable, the relevant Seller shall repay the amount or relevant part of it to the Buyer. The relevant Seller shall make the repayment promptly after the ruling, unless it has already accounted to HM Revenue & Customs for the VAT.

(i) The Sellers shall retain their VAT Records for the period required by law and shall give the Buyer access to such records as reasonably required under the terms of section 49(5) of VATA 1994.

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 11.1. Survival. Each of the representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Buyer shall survive the Closing hereunder and continue in full force and effect until 31 October 2012, following which no claim may be made under the representations and warranties of the Sellers by the Buyer or the Company or of the Buyer by the Sellers as applicable unless the Buyer, the Company or the Sellers, as applicable, have been notified in writing of the existence of, and reasonable details regarding (including insofar as practicable an estimate of the amount of the liability under), such claim prior to 31 October 2012. Subject to the foregoing, any covenant of any Seller or the Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the date hereof until such covenant has been fully performed and satisfied.

SECTION 11.2. Indemnification Provisions for the Buyer’s and the Company’s Benefit.

(a) Seller Breach. In the event the Sellers breach any of their respective representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that relate to such representations, warranties or covenants, and, provided that the Buyer or the Company provide a written notice of the claim for indemnification against the Sellers in accordance with this Agreement within the applicable survival period set forth in Section 11.1, then each Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify, and hold harmless the Buyer, the Company and their respective

Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, injuries, damages, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including without limitation the cost of any investigation or lawsuit and reasonable attorneys’ fees relating thereto and including any diminution in value of the Business (collectively, “Losses”) caused by such breach. In addition, each Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall suffer arising out of or resulting, directly or indirectly, from any Excluded Liabilities and any Excluded Assets.

(b) Minimum Loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) if, with respect to any individual item of loss or claim for indemnification, as the case may be (with it being understood, however, that all Losses or claims arising out of the same or similar facts, events or circumstances shall be considered an individual Loss or claim for purposes of this Agreement and all such items shall be aggregated for purposes of this Section 11.2(b)), such item or claim is less than US$10,000 (“Minor Claim”), it being understood that no Minor Claim shall apply or be counted towards the Indemnification Threshold, and, furthermore, the Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties until the Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered Losses by reason of all breaches under this Agreement in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$200,000) (the “Indemnification Threshold”), after which point the Sellers will be obligated only to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against Losses in excess of the Indemnification Threshold. In no event shall the Sellers have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11.2 to the extent and in the amount that such Losses exceed Ten Million Dollars (US$10,000,000) (the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Indemnification Threshold or the Maximum Amount apply to any action arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by any Sellers of any term or provision of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other documents contemplated in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Nor shall such Indemnification Threshold or Maximum Amount apply to any Liability relating to any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability.

SECTION 11.3. Indemnification Provisions for the Sellers’ Benefit.

In the event the Buyer breaches any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that relate to such representations, warranties or covenants, and provided that the Sellers make a written claim for indemnification against the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement within the applicable survival period set forth in Section 11.1, then the Buyer shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses caused by the breach. In addition, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses the Seller Indemnified Party shall suffer arising out of or resulting, directly or indirectly, from any Purchased Asset or any Assumed Liability, or any Liability associated with or arising out of or in connection with the ownership of such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities or the operation of the Business (except to the extent such Liability results from a breach by the Sellers of a

representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties until they have suffered Losses by reason of all such breaches in excess of the Indemnification Threshold, after which point the Buyer will be obligated only to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against Losses in excess of the Indemnification Threshold. In no event shall the Buyers have any obligation to indemnify the Sellers pursuant to this Section 11.3 to the extent and in the amount that such Losses exceed the Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Indemnification Threshold or the Maximum Amount apply to any action arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by the Buyer of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Nor shall such Indemnification Threshold or Maximum Amount apply to any Liability relating to any Purchased Asset, Assumed Liability, or any other Liability associated or arising out of or in connection with the ownership of such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities or the operation of the Business (other than Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities).

SECTION 11.4. Methods of Asserting Claims.

(a) Notice. The party seeking indemnity (“Indemnitee”) will give prompt written notice to the party or parties providing indemnity (“Indemnitor”) of any claim which it discovers or of which it receives notice after the Closing, stating the nature, basis and (to the extent known) amount thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve Indemnitor from any Liability hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) Indemnitor is prejudiced by such delay. Copies of any papers received in connection with a claim shall be forwarded to Indemnitor together with the notice of the claim.

(b) Procedure. In case of any suit, claim or proceeding by a third party or by any Governmental Authority, or any action involving claims brought by such a third party or Governmental Authority with respect to which Indemnitor may have Liability under the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 11.4 (a “Third-Party Claim”), if Indemnitor acknowledges in writing delivered to Indemnitee that Indemnitor is obligated hereunder in connection with such Third-Party Claim, then Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense thereof at its own expense and by its own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; provided, however, that Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, notwithstanding the giving of such written acknowledgement, if (i) the Third-Party Claim seeks only an injunction or other equitable relief, (ii) Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to Indemnitor and, in the reasonable opinion of Indemnitee, counsel for Indemnitor could not adequately represent Indemnitee’s interests because they conflict with those of Indemnitor, (iii) such Third-Party Claim involves, or could have a material effect on, any material matter beyond the scope of the indemnification obligation of Indemnitor or (iv) Indemnitor shall not have assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim in a timely fashion. If Indemnitor shall assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim (under circumstances in which the proviso in the preceding sentence is not applicable), Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any legal or other defense costs subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. If Indemnitor

does not exercise its rights to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim by giving the required written acknowledgement, or is otherwise restricted from so assuming such defense, Indemnitor shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in such defense with its own counsel and at its own expense; and in any such case Indemnitee may assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, with counsel that shall be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitor, and shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment and shall not affect any settlement without the consent of Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Indemnitor exercises its right to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, it shall not effect any settlement without the consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Determination of Adverse Consequences. All indemnification payments under this Article XI shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party net of any Tax or insurance benefits actually received (net of any increased insurance premiums) by the Indemnified Party. All indemnification payments under this Article XI shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

SECTION 12.11. Assignment.

No party may assign, novate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that either party may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other party, to an Affiliate or to a successor of the assigning party by reason of merger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any similar transaction.

jurisdiction that will impose withholding or other Taxes on Royalties due under this Agreement, the Sellers shall be entitled to a gross-up payment on such Royalties such that the net amount of Royalties, after withholding or other Taxes (including the gross-up payment), is equal to the amount Seller is entitled to under this Agreement prior to any such Assignment.

This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. By an instrument in writing, the Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, or the Sellers, on the other hand, may waive compliance by the other party with any term or provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Asset Purchase Agreement to be signed by their respective representatives thereunto duly authorized, all as of the date first written above.

Upon that offer being made by the Buyer, or at any time after the expiry of seven Business Days from a request by the Sellers for the Buyer to make that offer, OTI UK shall terminate the employment of the Transferring Employee concerned and the Buyer shall be responsible for and indemnify the Sellers against all costs, claims, expenses and liabilities arising from:
