-14-

includable in the Conveyed Assets or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be sold and assigned to the Buyer hereunder.

(b) With respect to any Assumed Contract, agreement, lease, license or right, which is not included in the Conveyed Assets or the transactions contemplated hereby at the Closing by reason of Section 2.6(a), after the Closing, the parties shall cooperate with each other, upon written request, (i) in endeavoring to obtain the requisite third-party consent(s) to the assignment thereof to the Buyer, without (A) the Buyer being obligated, however, to make any payment to any such Person which is not otherwise due in connection with such Assumed Contract, agreement, license or right in order to obtain such consent, unless the Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion to make such payment or agree to reimburse the Company for such payment, or (B) the Company being obligated, however, to make any payment to any such Person which is not otherwise due in connection with such Assumed Contract, agreement, license or right in order to obtain such consent, unless the Company shall determine in its sole discretion to make such payment or agree to reimburse the Buyer for such payment and (ii) if any such requisite consent cannot be obtained, in endeavoring to obtain for the Buyer, an arrangement which the Buyer reasonably shall desire and which is designed to provide for the Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner.

(c) The Buyer acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to the Assumed Contracts, agreements, leases, licenses or rights and that such consents have not been and may not be obtained. The Buyer agrees that, except as set forth in this Section 2.6, the Company shall not have any liability whatsoever arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default under or acceleration or termination of any Assumed Contract, agreement, lease, license or right, as a result thereof. The Buyer further agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition to the Buyer’s obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed not satisfied as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any such consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination (except for the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(e)) or (ii) any Action commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent or any such default, acceleration or termination.

(d) After the Closing, the Company on the one hand, and the Buyer and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, shall take all actions (or shall cause its Affiliates to take all actions) reasonably requested by the other party to effect the provisions of this Section 2.6.

2.7. Dividable Contracts.

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the transfer to the Buyer of such portion of each Dividable Contract listed on Section 2.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Critical Dividable Contracts”), or the benefits thereof, that relates to the Business on terms that maintain the costs to the Business as owned by the Buyer with the costs to the Business as owned by the Company (a “Cost Neutral Basis”). Upon such transfer, the Buyer shall assume any Liabilities arising after the Closing related to the transferred portion of the Critical Dividable Contracts and any other Liabilities arising under the Critical Dividable Contracts shall remain with the Company. For purposes of this Section 2.7 only, “commercially reasonable best efforts” shall include (i) a written reasoned request and recommendation in favor of such transfer to the customer or supplier that is the other party to such Critical Dividable Contract, (ii) subject to applicable non-disclosure agreements, the provision to the Buyer of all information and records available to the Company relating to customers or suppliers, as the case may be, with respect to such portion of such Critical Dividable Contract, (iii) the

-15-

provision to the Buyer of available customer or supplier decision maker(s) with respect to such portion of such Critical Dividable Contract, (iv) if the Company or the Buyer so requests, in accordance with reasonable commercial practice, the organization of mutually agreeable joint visits of the Buyer and the Company with such customers or suppliers, subject, in each case, to any applicable confidentiality agreements or obligations of the Company and (v) prior to the Closing, the Company’s assistance and cooperation in negotiating a separate agreement on a Cost Neutral Basis with the other party to such Critical Dividable Contract if deemed appropriate by the Buyer.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any of the Critical Dividable Contracts have not been divided and assigned by the parties prior to Closing (the “Post-Closing Dividable Contracts”), and the parties agree to proceed with the Closing, then this Agreement shall not constitute a transfer of such portion of any such Post-Closing Dividable Contract, or an attempt thereof. If the Closing proceeds without the transfer of any such portion of any Post-Closing Dividable Contract, then, following the Closing, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers and to cooperate with each other in connection thereto; provided, however, that none of the Company, the Buyer or any DM Entity shall be required to pay any material sum of consideration for any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver. Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements (to the extent any such arrangements are feasible and contractually permitted) designed to provide to the Buyer the benefits of such portion of any Post-Closing Dividable Contract, with respect to the portion of such Post-Closing Dividable Contract applicable to the Business and the benefits that the Buyer would have obtained had such portion of such Post-Closing Dividable Contract been so transferred at the Closing (or any right or benefit arising thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of the Buyer of any and all rights of the Company against a third party thereunder), so that such benefits are, taken as a whole, for all such transfers, not materially less advantageous to the Buyer than would be if such transferred portions were stand alone contracts. To the extent that the Buyer is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) of any portion of any such Post-Closing Dividable Contract, the Buyer shall perform, for the benefit of the other Persons that are parties thereto, the obligations (including payment obligations) of the Company thereunder and any related Liabilities that, but for the lack of an authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the assignment of such Liabilities to the Buyer, would have become Liabilities of the Buyer arising on or after the Closing by virtue of the transfer of such portion of such Post-Closing Dividable Contract and any other obligations and Liabilities arising under such Post-Closing Dividable Contract shall remain with the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the transfer to the Buyer of the portion of any Other Dividable Contract that relates to the Business, or any claim or right or any Applicable Law would require any Governmental Authority’s or third-party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers, and the Closing (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V) proceeds without such authorization, approval, consent or waiver then this Agreement shall not constitute a transfer of such portion of such Other Dividable Contract, or an attempt thereof. In the event that the Closing proceeds without the transfer of any such portion of any Other Dividable Contract, then, following the Closing, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers and to cooperate with each other in connection thereto; provided, however, that none of the Company, the Buyer or any DM Entity shall be required to pay any material sum of consideration for any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver. Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements (to the extent any such arrangements are feasible and contractually permitted) designed to provide to the Buyer the benefits of such portion of such Other Dividable Contract, with respect to the portion of such Other Dividable Contract applicable to the Business and to the Company the benefits that they would

-16-

have obtained had such portion of such Other Dividable Contract been transferred to the Buyer at the Closing. To the extent that the Buyer is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) of any portion of such Other Dividable Contract, the Buyer shall perform, for the benefit of the other Persons that are parties thereto, the obligations (including payment obligations) of the Company and any DM Entity thereunder and any related Liabilities that, but for the lack of an authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the assignment of such Liabilities to the Buyer, would have become Liabilities of the Buyer arising on or after the Closing by virtue of the transfer of such portion of such Other Dividable Contract and any other obligations and Liabilities arising under such Other Dividable Contract shall remain with the Company.

(d) To the extent authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the transfer of any such portion of any Other Dividable Contract is obtained, the Company shall immediately transfer such portion of any such Other Dividable Contract to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall assume obligations arising after the Closing under such portion of any such Other Dividable Contracts. To the extent that any portion of any Other Dividable Contract cannot be transferred following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.7, then the Buyer and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to find and enter into reasonable and lawful arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting), if feasible and contractually permitted, to provide the parties the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the performance by the Buyer of the obligations thereunder, on economic terms not materially less advantageous to the Buyer than economic benefits received by the Company prior to Closing under the applicable Other Dividable Contract. The Company shall hold in trust for, and pay to the Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by the Company in respect of the Buyer’s performance of any such portion of any such Other Dividable Contract in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.7. Any arrangement agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be in effect no longer than the then-current minimum remaining term of any such Dividable Contract and the Company shall have no obligation to negotiate or renew for the benefit of the Buyer any such Dividable Contract after expiration of the then-current minimum remaining term thereof. For purposes of this Section 2.7, the “then-current minimum remaining term” shall mean the remaining term in effect as of the Closing Date under the applicable Dividable Contract and shall not include any renewal or extended terms under such Dividable Contract whether such renewal or extended term is automatic or requires the act of any party or parties to such Dividable Contract. Nothing stated in this Section 2.7 shall modify in any respect the conditions set forth in Article V.

(e) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer, as contemplated by the Impress Agreement, to the Buyer of such portion of the Impress Agreement that relates to the Business (“Impress Bifurcation”). Upon such Impress Bifurcation, the Buyer shall assume any Liabilities arising after the Closing related to the transferred portion of the Impress Agreement, and any other Liabilities arising under the Impress Agreement and not related to the Business shall remain with the Company. In the event the parties fail to execute the Impress Bifurcation prior to the Closing, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements (to the extent any such arrangements are feasible and contractually permitted) which are designed to provide to the Buyer the benefits of such Impress Bifurcation until such date of the Impress Bifurcation. To the extent that the Buyer is provided with the benefits of the Impress Bifurcation pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence, the Buyer shall perform, for the benefit of the other Persons that are parties to the Impress Agreement, the obligations of the Company thereunder and any related Liabilities that would have become Liabilities of the Buyer arising on or after the Closing had the Impress Bifurcation occurred as of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the parties hereto fail to consummate the Impress Bifurcation, the Company shall purchase the products under the Impress Agreement on behalf of the Buyer for the Business in the quantities as prescribed by the Buyer, and deliver them to the Buyer pursuant to the price(s) set forth in the Impress Agreement.

-17-

2.8. Aggregate Payment; Closing. On the Closing Date, in consideration of (a) the sale and transfer of the Shares, (b) the sale and transfer of the Conveyed Assets and (c) the consummation of the Merger, the Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and pay to the Company (or to such of the Company’s Affiliates as the Company may direct in the written transfer instructions hereinafter referred to), an amount in cash equal to Three Hundred Sixty-Three Million Dollars (US $363,000,000) (the “Aggregate Payment”), subject to adjustment prior to and after the Closing as contemplated in Section 2.9, in immediately available funds, by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions given by the Company to the Buyer prior to the Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 7.3, the Closing will take place on a mutually agreeable date no later than a date 90 days following the date hereof unless the conditions set forth in Article V hereto have not been satisfied, in which case the Closing will take place on the first Monday which is (i) a Business Day and (ii) at least three Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V (except for those conditions that, by the express terms thereof, are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, 400 Berwyn Park, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, unless another date, time or place within the United States is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be effective, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, at 12:01 a.m., New York, New York local time on the Closing Date.

2.9. Adjustments to Aggregate Payment.

(a) The parties agree that the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”), as calculated in accordance with and set forth on the statement of Working Capital, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business”) is targeted to be $189,000,000 (the “Working Capital Target”). “Working Capital” shall be an amount which is determined pursuant to the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, Working Capital shall be calculated using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in preparation of the Statement of Net Assets; provided, however, Working Capital shall not be calculated to include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby other than as expressly set forth on the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business; provided, further, that the current assets and current liabilities of the Company used to calculate the Working Capital shall constitute only those current assets and current liabilities of the Company which are solely and exclusively related to the Business.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Buyer a reasonable and good faith estimate of the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”). The Estimated Working Capital shall be determined using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in preparation of the Working Capital Target and shall be in the same form as the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business; provided that the value of the inventory of the Business for the purpose of calculating and preparing the Estimated Working Capital shall be derived from a physical count of such inventory as of a reference date prior to the Closing (elected by mutual agreement of the Company and the Buyer) which shall be conducted by the Company and/or its representatives (such representatives shall be utilized and selected in the Company’s sole discretion), in each case subject to the procedures set forth on Section 2.9(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter; provided further that the Buyer and/or its representatives (such representatives shall be utilized and selected in Buyer’s sole discretion) shall have the opportunity to participate side-by-side in the taking of such count of inventory. The Aggregate Payment shall be (i) increased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount, if any, by which the

-18-

Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Target and (ii) reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target.

(d) Not more than 45 days after the Closing, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Buyer, calculations of the Closing Working Capital (the “Initial Calculation”), together with such schedules and data with respect to the determination of the Closing Working Capital as may be appropriate to support such Initial Calculation; provided, however, that to the extent an event occurs or a condition exists that is outside of the control of the parties that delays or otherwise impairs the timely preparation and delivery of the Initial Calculation, the parties agree to extend the delivery date of the Initial Calculation to reasonably accommodate such delay or impairment and provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time to prepare and deliver the Initial Calculation. The Closing Working Capital shall be determined using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in preparation of the Estimated Working Capital and shall be in the same form as the Form of Working Capital Statement of the Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the value of the inventory of the Business as of the Closing shall be derived from a physical count of such inventory which shall be conducted by the Company and/or its representatives (such representatives shall be utilized and selected in the Company’s sole discretion), in each case subject to the procedures set forth on Section 2.9(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter. The Buyer and/or its representatives (such representatives shall be utilized and selected in Buyer’s sole discretion) shall have the opportunity to participate side-by-side in the validation of such count of inventory. The Company shall use the information obtained in such count of inventory in the preparation of the Initial Calculation.

(e) Within 45 days after delivery to the Buyer of the Initial Calculation by the Company pursuant to Section 2.9(d), the Buyer may deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Calculation Notice”) either (i) advising the Company that the Buyer agrees with and accepts the Initial Calculation or (ii) setting forth a detailed explanation of those items in the Initial Calculation that the Buyer disputes and a statement, with reasonable detail as to the disputed matters, of what the Buyer believes is the correct calculation of Closing Working Capital. All matters, components, calculations and assumptions in the Initial Calculation that the Buyer does not specifically dispute shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. The Buyer and the accountants engaged by the Buyer shall be entitled to review the Company’s working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Company’s preparation of the Closing Working Capital as of the Closing Date, if any, for purposes of reviewing the Initial Calculation. The Company shall also provide the Buyer and its accountants with (i) the reasonable assistance of Company financial personnel and (ii) timely and reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the personnel, properties and the Business Books and Records, but only to the extent necessary for the Buyer’s review of the Initial Calculation. If the Company shall concur with the Calculation Notice, or if the Company shall not object to the Calculation Notice, in a writing (the “Dispute Notice”) delivered to the Buyer within 15 days after delivery of the Calculation Notice, the calculation of the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Calculation Notice shall become final and binding on the Company and the Buyer and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. If the Buyer does not submit a Calculation Notice within the 45 day period provided herein, then the Initial Calculation shall become final and binding on the Company and the Buyer and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment.

(f) In the event that the Company and the Buyer are unable to resolve any disputes regarding the Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Dispute Notice within 20 days after the Company’s delivery of the Dispute Notice, then such disputes shall be referred to Ernst & Young LLP, or, if Ernst & Young LLP shall be unavailable or unable to do so, such other recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or other nationally recognized financial experts selected by

-19-

mutual written agreement of the Company and the Buyer (the “Settlement Accountants”), and the determination of the Settlement Accountants shall be final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. The Settlement Accountants shall use the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in preparation of the Estimated Working Capital in making their determination. The Company and the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Settlement Accountants to reach a determination, solely with respect to the matters specifically disputed in the Dispute Notice, not more than 30 days after such referral. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Settlement Accountants to resolve or otherwise review any items which are not specifically disputed in the Dispute Notice. In the event that the determination(s) of the Settlement Accountants results in the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.9(f), to fall in between the amount of the Closing Working Capital as calculated by the Company in the Initial Calculation, on the one hand, and the amount of the Closing Working Capital as calculated by the Buyer in the Calculation Notice, on the other hand, then the Company and the Buyer shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountants with respect to its engagement under this Section 2.9(f); provided, however, where the determination(s) of the Settlement Accountants results in the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.9(f), falling outside of such Closing Working Capital amounts calculated by the Company and the Buyer, then all such fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountants shall be paid by the party (either the Company or the Buyer) whose calculation of the Closing Working Capital is farthest from the Settlement Accountants’ determination of the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.9(f). In all cases, each of the Buyer and the Company shall pay their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.9(f).

(g) The “Working Capital Adjustment Amount”, which may be positive or negative, shall mean an amount equal to (i) the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.9, minus (ii) the Estimated Working Capital.

(h) If the Working Capital Adjustment Amount is positive, then the Buyer shall deliver, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to Section 2.9(i) to an account designated in writing by the Company, an amount equal to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the rate of interest published as the “Prime Rate” in the “Money Rates” column of the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal (or the average of such rates if more than one rate is indicated) on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Interest Rate”). If the Working Capital Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Company shall deliver, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to Section 2.9(i) to an account designated in writing by the Buyer, an amount equal to the absolute value of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the Closing Date Interest Rate.

(i) The amount paid pursuant to Section 2.9(h) shall be deemed an adjustment to the Aggregate Payment. For purposes of this Section 2.9, all computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Any payments made by any Person pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within seven (7) Business Days after the first date on which the Closing Working Capital, or any dispute with respect thereto, shall no longer be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment.

2.10. Allocation of the Aggregate Payment.

-20-

(a) The Buyer and the Company agree that the Aggregate Payment and the Assumed Liabilities that constitute debt for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall be allocated among the Conveyed Assets, the Shares, the assets acquired in the Merger and the covenants set forth in Sections 4.1(c) and 4.1(d) for Tax purposes, in accordance with this Section 2.10 (the “Allocation”). Any adjustments to the Aggregate Payment shall be allocated among the Conveyed Assets, the Shares, the assets acquired in the Merger and the covenants set forth in Sections 4.1(c) and 4.1(d) as required by Section 1060 of the Code.

(b) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company for review and approval (i) a statement showing the Allocation of the Aggregate Payment and Assumed Liabilities that constitute debt for U.S. federal income Tax purposes among the Shares of Galapesca, Panapesca and Marine Trading, the aggregate amount of the Conveyed Assets, the aggregate amount of the assets acquired in the Merger, and the covenants set forth in Sections 4.1(c) and 4.1(d) and (ii) copies of completed Forms 8594, with the Allocation of the Aggregate Payment and Assumed Liabilities that constitute debt for U.S. federal income Tax purposes among (y) the Conveyed Assets and (z) the assets acquired in the Merger, which allocation shall be in the manner required under Section 1060 of the Code (collectively, the “Allocation Notice”). The Company shall be deemed to have approved the Allocation Notice unless it delivers a written notice of items of disagreement, no later than 15 days after receipt of the Allocation Notice (the “Notice of Disagreement”). If the Company timely provides the Notice of Disagreement, the Company and the Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve the items of disagreement.

(i) The Buyer shall offer employment to each Company Employee and each Inactive Company Employee, effective as of the Closing or the Commencement Date, as applicable, providing base salary (or wages) that is no less favorable than the base salary (or wages) provided to such Company Employees and all Inactive Company Employees immediately prior to the Closing and employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements (excluding qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plan benefits, post-retirement welfare benefits and equity-based compensation) that are comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits plans, programs and arrangements (excluding qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plan benefits, post-retirement welfare benefits and equity-based compensation) provided generally to such Company Employees and all Inactive Company Employees immediately prior to the Closing. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated, however, to continue to employ any Continuing Employee for any specific period of time following the Closing or Commencement Date, as applicable, subject to Applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Company shall take no action that would have

-40-

the effect of requiring, the Buyer or any Affiliate to continue any specific employee benefit plans. For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the DM Entities and Acquisition Sub to, provide the Continuing Employees with employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements, including each health, welfare and retirement plan, program and arrangement, but excluding (except to the extent expressly provided herein) qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plan benefits, post-retirement welfare benefits and equity-based compensation, which are comparable in the aggregate to the applicable Benefit Plans excluding qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plan benefits, post-retirement welfare benefits and equity-based compensation provided generally to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing. For purposes of determining the eligibility and vesting of Continuing Employees under any employee benefit program, plan or arrangement maintained by the Buyer, a DM Entity or Acquisition Sub after the Closing or the Commencement Date, as applicable, for which a Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible (including vacation and disability days), and solely for purposes of benefit accrual under any vacation plan or policy, each Continuing Employee shall be given full credit under such employee benefit program, plan or arrangement for such Continuing Employee’s period of service with the Company and its predecessors (including the X.X. Xxxxx Company, SKF Foods Inc. and their respective current and prior Affiliates) prior to the Closing or the Commencement Date, as applicable, to the extent credited under the Benefit Plans; provided, however, that in no event shall such credit result in the duplication of benefits or the funding thereof. Following Closing or the Commencement Date, as applicable, Continuing Employees shall be given full credit for deductibles, co-payment or out-of-pocket limits satisfied under existing Benefit Plans toward any deductibles, co-payment or out-of-pocket limits for the same plan year in which such Continuing Employee first becomes covered by a employee benefit program, plan or arrangement maintained by the Buyer, a DM Entity or Acquisition Sub after the Closing or the Commencement Date, as applicable, which provides similar benefits as the applicable Benefit Plan to the extent credited under the Benefit Plans. The Buyer shall cause to be waived any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements or pre-existing condition limitations for any Continuing Employee covered under a Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing or the Commencement Date, as applicable, to the extent waived under the Benefit Plans. Notwithstanding the generality of the preceding, the Buyer’s health and welfare plans shall include for the 2008 calendar year both a flexible spending account component and a dependent care spending account component and the Buyer shall assume all Liabilities associated with such accounts with respect to those Continuing Employees who participated in such accounts under the Del Monte Corporation Health Care Spending Account Plan and the Del Monte Corporation Dependent Care Spending Account Plan and, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the Company shall transfer to the Buyer the aggregate account balances for all such Continuing Employees that may be held by the Company with respect to such accounts for the period prior to the Closing.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall provide those Continuing Employees set forth on Section 2.4(h) of the Company Disclosure Letter service credit for (x) vested and accrued or (y) partially accrued but unvested, as applicable, retiree medical and non-qualified pension benefits (SERP), in each case, on and after the Closing and as each is reflected in Section 2.4(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall be reflected as part of the negative adjustment to the Aggregate Payment to be borne by the Company under the Closing Working Capital.

(iii) The provisions of this Section 4.2(c) are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any current or former employees, directors, or independent contractors of the Business or any DM Entity), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided in this Section 4.2(c) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

-41-

(d) Use of Certain Names. Within six (6) months after the Closing, the Buyer shall and shall cause the DM Entities and Acquisition Sub and their respective Affiliates to revise product literature and labeling (including stickering), change packaging and stationery, and otherwise discontinue use of the name “Del Monte” and variations thereof (each, a “Name” and collectively, the “Names”). In no event shall the Buyer use any Name after the Closing in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such Name by the Company and the DM Entities during the 60-day period preceding the Closing. With respect to product inventory manufactured by the Company and the DM Entities prior to the Closing, the Buyer, the DM Entities and their respective Affiliates may continue to sell such inventory, notwithstanding that it bears the Names, for a reasonable time after the Closing (not to exceed 12 months).

(e) Disclosure of Impress Agreement. Each of the Buyer and its Affiliates shall not make any public disclosure of the Impress Agreement or any portion or summary thereof, or amendment thereto, at any time prior to or after the Closing; provided, however, to the extent that the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer is required by Applicable Law to publicly disclose the Impress Agreement or any portion or summary thereof, or amendment thereto, prior to any such disclosure, the Buyer and its Affiliates shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts to seek confidential treatment to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law with respect to those portions of the Impress Agreement or any amendment thereto, for which Del Monte Foods Company is currently seeking, or has sought and obtained, confidential treatment from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

(f) Assumed Liabilities. From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall (i) cause the DM Entities and Acquisition Sub to satisfy when due and discharge their respective Liabilities arising from any failure fully or timely (subject to good faith disputes) to pay, satisfy or perform the Assumed Liabilities and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates from and against any and all Liabilities arising from the Buyer’s and its Affiliates failure fully or timely to pay, satisfy or perform the Assumed Liabilities.

(g) Environmental Investigations and Future Land Use.

(i) The Buyer agrees that it will not conduct any surficial or subsurface investigation of the Business’s facilities in American Samoa at any time after the Closing Date, unless: (A) Buyer is required to do so by any Applicable Law, any Environmental Laws or any Governmental Authority or (B) Buyer reasonably believes that such actions will likely reduce the overall extent of any of the Company Retained Environmental Liabilities (subject to the Company’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (“Post-Closing Environmental Investigation”). Further, the Buyer shall not solicit or otherwise encourage any Governmental Authority to require any environmental response or remedial activity, unless the Buyer reasonably believes that such actions will likely reduce the overall extent of any Company Retained Environmental Liabilities (subject to the Company’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event any Post-Closing Environmental Investigation is required, Buyer shall take commercially reasonable steps to limit the scope of such Post-Closing Environmental Investigation to permit the existing or similar use of such facility; provided that such limitation is consistent with all Applicable Law, Environmental Laws and Governmental Authority requirements.

(ii) The Buyer agrees that it will not conduct any voluntary movement of soil, including but not limited to excavation and grading, or any work that alters the footprint of any current structure at the Business’s facilities in American Samoa without first conducting a surficial or subsurface investigation consistent with the limitations set forth in (i) above unless: (A) Buyer is required to do so by any Applicable Law, any Environmental Laws or any Governmental Authority or

-42-

(B) reasonably necessary in connection with the operation or maintenance of the facilities for current purposes.

(iii) The Buyer agrees that if it materially changes the Business’s use of the Business’s facilities in American Samoa or of the Business’s location at XX 00-0/0 xxx x Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx (and the cold storage facility located at Kilometer 4.5 Via Manta-Montecristi, Manta, Ecuador) after the Closing Date from the Business’s current use of such locations and such material change in use results in the discovery of a Company Retained Environmental Liability at such locations, any claim arising from such discovery that Buyer may have against the Company under Section 7.5(b)(iii) for such Company Retained Environmental Liability shall be void. For purposes of this clause (iii), the actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are deemed not to be a material change in use if the Business’s use of the relevant locations remains reasonably consistent with such use currently.

4.3. Mutual Covenants. Each of the parties hereto covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) Regulatory and Other Authorizations.

(i) The Buyer and the Company each shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all federal, state, local and non-U.S. governmental and regulatory bodies and officials that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, the performance of its obligations pursuant to, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents, and shall take all such actions as may be requested by any such regulatory body or official to obtain such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. Neither the Company nor the Buyer shall take any action that it should be reasonably aware would have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required approvals.

(ii) The Company and the Buyer each agree to make an appropriate filing of a notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement promptly after the date of this Agreement, and to supply promptly any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. In addition, each party agrees to make promptly any filing that may be required under any other antitrust or competition law or by any other antitrust or competition authority.

(iii) Each of the Company and the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate to obtain any clearance required under the HSR Act to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, shall permit the other parties to review in advance any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority, and shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, subject to this Section 4.3(a)(iii). No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and to this Section 4.3(a)(iii), the parties to this Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act.

-43-

(iv) The Buyer agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing (such notification, an “Antitrust Notification”) if at any time the Buyer determines in its sole reasonable judgment (after consultation with Buyer’s antitrust counsel) that there is no reasonable likelihood that Buyer will, by the Outside Date, agree to or satisfy conditions or requirements of the United States Federal Trade Commission and/or Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice or of any court to the receipt of any clearance required under the HSR Act or other Applicable Law for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way diminish or modify the Buyer’s obligations pursuant to the other portions of this Section 4.3(a). The Buyer and the Company agree, within 15 days after the Company’s receipt of an Antitrust Notification, to engage in discussions regarding the reasons for such Antitrust Notification and any appropriate course of action in light thereof. In the event the Buyer and the Company are unable to agree upon a mutually-acceptable course of action in such 15-day period, the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(e) by notifying the Buyer in writing of such termination within seven days following the expiration of such 15-day period.

(v) Each party to this Agreement agrees to cooperate in obtaining any other consents and approvals that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Buyer shall be required to compensate any third party, commence or participate in litigation, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain any such consent or approval except as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 2.6 and Section 2.7.

(b) Intellectual Property Agreements. At the Closing, each of the Buyer and the Company shall execute and deliver (i) the Trademark Assignment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Trademark Assignment Agreement”); (ii) the Shared IP Agreements in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F wherein (A) one Shared IP Agreement will provide that the Buyer, as licensor, will license certain specified intellectual property to the Company, as licensee (“Shared Buyer IP Agreement”) and (B) another Shared IP Agreement will provide that the Company, as licensor, will license certain specified intellectual property to the Buyer, as licensee (“Shared Company IP Agreement”, and together with the Shared Buyer IP Agreement, the “Shared IP Agreements”); (iii) the Intellectual Property Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Intellectual Property Assignment”); and (iv) the Domain Name Transfer Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Domain Name Transfer Agreement”, and with the Trademark Assignment Agreement, the Shared IP Agreements and the Intellectual Property Assignment, collectively, the “Intellectual Property Agreements”).

(c) Operating Services Agreement. At the Closing, each of the Buyer and the Company shall execute the Operating Services Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Operating Services Agreement”).

(d) Co-Pack Agreements. At the Closing, each of the Buyer and the Company shall execute (i) the Contract Manufacturing Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Contract Manufacturing Agreement”), and (ii) the Labeling and Packaging Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K (the “Labeling and Packaging Agreement”).

(e) Recalls. In the event and to the extent that (i) any Governmental Authority or a court of competent jurisdiction issues a request, directive or order that any product of the Business manufactured prior to the Closing (whether or not sold prior to or after the Closing) be subject to Recall, (ii) after the Closing, the Buyer reasonably determines that any product of the Business manufactured prior to the Closing (whether or not sold prior to or after the Closing) should be subject to Recall because such product failed to satisfy materially the Company’s specifications for such product as of the time of

-44-

manufacture of such product, then the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable out-of-pocket transport costs, the out-of-pocket costs incurred to remove and destroy such Recalled products and all refund and customer deductions with respect to those products so destroyed (if sold after the Closing). In all other events, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for all of the costs incurred in connection with such Recall.

(f) Returns. The Company shall reimburse the Buyer in accordance with Section 4.3(h) for those costs contemplated in Section 2.5(f). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall not be responsible for returns of products sold by the Business. The Buyer shall deliver to the Company an invoice for amounts due under this Section 4.3(f) within 90 days after such 60 day period after Closing, along with the documentation required to verify the same.

(g) Rebates under Supply Agreements. In the event any dollar volume-based rebates are paid to the Buyer pursuant to any of the Assumed Contracts listed on Section 4.3(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter or any Dividable Contract or any portion thereof, the Buyer shall reimburse (in accordance with Section 4.3(h)) the Company that portion of any such rebates related to purchases made (i) prior to Closing under such Assumed Contracts or (ii) at any time under any Dividable Contract, or any portion thereof, which is retained by the Company after the Closing. The Company shall reimburse the Buyer for rebates relating to post-Closing purchases under any Assumed Contract listed on Section 4.3(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter or any Dividable Contract or any portion thereof. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 days after the Buyer receives a rebate under any Assumed Contract listed on Section 4.3(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Buyer or the Company, as applicable, shall deliver to the Company or the Buyer, as applicable, a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis (including calculations and supporting documentation) for the total amount of the rebate received by the Buyer from the supplier under such Assumed Contract and indicating the portion of such rebate the Buyer proposes to deliver to the Company or vice versa, as applicable (the “Rebate Statement”). Delivery by the Company to the Buyer or vice versa, as applicable, of written confirmation of the amounts set forth in the Rebate Statement shall be deemed the delivery by the Company or the Buyer, as applicable, of an invoice for amounts due the Company pursuant to this Section 4.3(g) under the applicable Assumed Contract.

(h) Reimbursement. The Company and the Buyer agree to reimburse each other in accordance with Section 4.3(f) and Section 4.3(g) within 30 days after the receipt of the invoice, if applicable, and all required documentation. In the event of a dispute over any amounts owed which cannot be resolved between the parties, the parties agree to use the Settlement Accountants to determine the actual amounts owed. Such amounts owed shall be no greater than the higher amount nor lower than the lower amount asserted by the parties. The cost of the Settlement Accountants shall be paid by the party asserting the amount farthest from the actual amount to be paid as determined by the Settlement Accountants; provided, that if there is not at least a ten percent differential (in either direction) between the amount asserted by the party farthest from such actual amount on the one hand, and such actual amount, on the other hand, the cost of such Settlement Accountants shall be borne equally by the parties. The Settlement Accountants’ determination shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(i) Further Assurances; Covenant to Satisfy Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) ensure the conditions set forth in Article V are satisfied, insofar as such matters are within the reasonable control of such party, (ii) defend any Actions, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the performance of the obligations hereunder or thereunder, (iii) execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as the other parties hereto may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement, (iv) prepare and make or cause to be made any required filings, submissions and notifications under Applicable Law to the extent that such filings are necessary to consummate the transactions

contemplated hereby in a manner consistent with Applicable Law, (v) bifurcate any dividable contracts after the Closing pursuant to the terms of Section 2.7(c) and (vi) subject to Section 2.4(b), at the Closing and from time to time thereafter, each party shall at the request of the other party execute such additional instruments and take such other actions as any party hereto may reasonably request in order more effectively to sell, transfer, assign and deliver the Conveyed Assets and the Shares and to confirm the Buyer’s title thereto and to otherwise fulfill the transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to spend any material sum of money.

(j) Forwarding of Collected Payments. From and after the Closing, the Company will promptly forward to the Buyer any payments that the Company receives that are the property of the Buyer as well as all material supporting documents including copies of checks documenting such payments and any documentation provided by customers for payment deductions taken by customers. From and after the Closing, the Buyer will promptly forward to the Company any payments that the Buyer receives which are the property of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, payments received by the Buyer for products of the Business sold prior to or as of 12:01 a.m. New York, New York local time on the Closing Date shall be deemed property of the Company. Payments received by the Company for products of the Business sold after 12:01 a.m. New York, New York local time on the Closing Date shall be deemed property of the Buyer.

(k) WARN. From and after the date hereof and prior to the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, and unless Buyer shall otherwise consent or agree in writing, the Company (as it solely relates to the Business) will not, and will cause each DM Entity not to, effect or permit a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (together with any similar state or local statute, rule or regulation, “WARN”), affecting in whole or in part any site of employment, facility, operating unit or employee of the Business, without complying with the notice requirements and all other provisions of WARN. The Buyer agrees (as it solely relates to the Business) that it will not, and will cause the DM Entities and Acquisition Sub not to, at any time prior to 90 days after the Closing, effect or permit a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in WARN, affecting in whole or in part any site of employment, facility, operating unit or Continuing Employee, without complying with the notice requirements and all other provisions of WARN. Buyer is solely responsible for complying with obligations arising under WARN on and after Closing.

4.4. Tax Matters.

(a) Pre-Closing Taxes.

(i) The DM Entities shall continue to be included for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date in any consolidated federal income Tax Return for the affiliated group of which Del Monte Foods Company or the Company is the common parent and in which the DM Entities are includible (the “Group”) and any required state or local consolidated, combined or unitary income or franchise returns that include the DM Entities (all such returns including taxable periods of such Persons ending on or before the Closing Date are hereinafter referred to as “Pre-Closing Consolidated Returns”). Del Monte Foods Company or the Company, as applicable, shall timely prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Pre-Closing Consolidated Returns and all other Tax Returns of the DM Entities required to be filed on or before the Closing Date or that relate to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Returns”). All Pre-Closing Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law. The Company shall timely pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes shown as due and payable on the Pre-Closing Returns (for the avoidance of doubt, except for any liability for Taxes in American Samoa arising out of Buyer’s substantial discontinuance of the business of SK Samoa from

-46-

and after the Closing Date). The Buyer shall cause all other Tax Returns of the DM Entities to be prepared and filed. The Buyer shall not file any amended return with respect to any Pre-Closing Return without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, the Buyer shall be entitled to amend any Pre-Closing Return without the prior written consent of the Company in order to claim any refund, credit or offset of Taxes attributable to the carryback of Tax attributes from a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date. With respect to any such Tax Return, if any, that includes a period on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Straddle Period Returns”), the Buyer shall deliver such return (and a calculation of the portion of the Taxes shown on such return that are apportioned, as determined below, to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date) to the Company, for review and comment, at least 60 days prior to the applicable filing deadline for such return. The Company shall promptly notify the Buyer of any disputed items with respect to the Straddle Period Returns and the parties shall diligently attempt to resolve such disputes. If such disputes cannot be resolved within 30 days prior to the applicable filing deadline, such disputes shall be submitted to the Settlement Accountants. In the event a taxable period includes a period prior to the Closing Date, Taxes shall, in the case of real and personal property Taxes, be apportioned ratably to such taxable period on a daily basis and, in the cast of other Taxes, be apportioned to such taxable period based on a closing of the books on the Closing Date.

(ii) The Buyer shall provide written notice to the Company in the event of any sale of all or most of the assets of any of the DM Entities whose stock Buyer acquired and for which no election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code is made, occurring within 12 calendar months following the Closing Date.

(b) Tax Cooperation. The Buyer shall prepare or cause each of the DM Entities to prepare completely and accurately all information that the Company shall reasonably request in work paper packages and shall submit to the Company such packages within the later of 90 days after the Buyer’s receipt thereof or 60 days after the close of the taxable period to which a work paper package relates. Each party shall cooperate with the other in connection with any Tax filing, investigation, audit or other proceeding. The Buyer and the Company shall preserve and cause to be preserved all information, returns, books, records and documents (including the Business Books and Records) relating to any liabilities for Taxes with respect to a taxable period until the later of the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation and extensions thereof, or the conclusion of all litigation with respect to Taxes for such period.

(c) Tax Indemnity. After the Closing Date, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer from and against and shall be responsible for any and all Damages incurred as a result of or arising out of (i) any and all liability for Taxes with respect to any taxable period of the Group or any of the DM Entities for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (not including any liability for Taxes in American Samoa arising out of Buyer’s substantial discontinuance of the business of SK Samoa from and after the Closing Date) and, with respect to any taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date, for the portion thereof ending on the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Taxes of the Buyer or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries resulting from any Subpart F income recognized on or prior to the Closing Date), except to the extent such Taxes were included in Working Capital and reduced the amount of the Aggregate Payment; (ii) any and all liability (as a result of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or otherwise) for Taxes of the Company or any other person (other than the DM Entities) which is or has ever been affiliated with the Company or with whom the Company or any of the DM Entities otherwise joins or has joined in filing any consolidated, combined, unitary or aggregate Tax Return, prior to the Closing Date; (iii) any payments required to be made after the Closing Date under any Tax sharing, Tax indemnity, Tax allocation or similar contracts (whether or not written) to which the Company or any of the DM Entities was obligated, or was a party, on or prior to the Closing Date; (d) any and all liabilities for Taxes arising from the

-47-

Merger; and (e) any and all liabilities for Taxes resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election (defined below). The Company shall pay such amounts as it is obligated to pay to the Buyer under the preceding sentence within 15 days after payment of any applicable Tax liability by the Buyer or the applicable DM Entity. The provisions of Section 7.5(d) through (j) shall apply with respect to indemnification under this Section 4.4(c). After the Closing, the Buyer shall pay to the Company any amounts received by Marine Trading in respect of U.S. Federal Tax refunds as a result of Marine Trading being a part of the Company’s consolidated Tax Returns.

(d) Notification of Proceedings; Control; Refunds. In the event that the Buyer or a DM Entity receives notice, whether orally or in writing, of any pending or threatened federal, state, local, municipal or foreign Tax examinations, claims settlements, proposed adjustments, assessments or reassessments or related matters with respect to Taxes for which the Company would have an indemnification liability pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Buyer shall notify the Company in writing within fifteen days thereof; provided, however, the failure of the Buyer to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Company has suffered actual prejudice by such failure. As applicable, the Company shall have the right to control any audit or examination by any taxing authority, initiate any claim for refund, contest, resolve and defend against any assessment, notice of deficiency or other adjustment or proposed adjustment relating to the returns of the Group (or any other group filing a Pre-Closing Consolidated Return) or any Taxes for which the Company would have an indemnification liability pursuant to this Section 4.4; provided, that, in the event that any such adjustment or other matter could have an adverse effect on the Buyer or any of the DM Entities, the Company (i) shall give the Buyer written notice of any such adjustment, (ii) shall permit the Buyer, at its own cost, to participate in the proceeding to the extent the adjustment may adversely affect the Tax liability of the Buyer or any of the DM Entities with respect to any post-Closing periods or for which the Buyer would not receive an indemnity hereunder and (iii) shall not settle or otherwise compromise such proceeding without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent that this Section 4.4(d) is in conflict with Section 7.5(f), this Section 4.4(d) shall govern. Except as provided in Section 4.4(e), the Company shall be entitled to retain for its own account any refunds of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Consolidated Returns and the Buyer shall pay to the Company the amount of any refund or credit to which the Company is entitled within 15 days after the receipt of such refund and, to the extent not paid within such 15-day period, shall thereafter include interest at 10 percent. For purposes of clarity, except as provided in Section 4.4(e), any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or any Person being acquired by the Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to the Transactions, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or any Person being acquired by the Buyer or its Affiliates become entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, shall be for the account of the Company, but only to the extent that such Tax refunds were not included in Closing Working Capital and did not increase the amount of the Aggregate Payment.

(e) Carrybacks. Notwithstanding Section 4.4(c) or 4.4(d), any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes shall be for the account of the Buyer to the extent (i) such refunds, credits or offsets were included in Working Capital and increased the amount of the Aggregate Payment or (ii) such refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes are attributable to the carryback from a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date of items of loss, deduction or credit, or other Tax items, of the Company or any of the DM Entities; provided, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Buyer will elect to carry forward any Tax attributes that may be carried back into any Pre-Closing Consolidated Returns. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the DM Entities for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Buyer. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the DM Entities for any Period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date shall be equitably apportioned between the Company and the Buyer. Each party shall forward to the party entitled to receive the amount or economic benefit of a

-48-

refund, credit or offset to Tax the amount of such refund, or the economic benefit of such credit or offset to Tax, within 15 days after such refund is received or after such credit or offset is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be and, to the extent not paid within such 15-day period shall thereafter include interest at 10 percent per annum.

(f) Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Buyer shall not make an election pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to any of the DM Entities without the consent of the Company. At the request of the Buyer, the Buyer and the Company shall join in timely making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign tax law) (collectively a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of Marine Trading, and the Buyer and the Company shall cooperate in the completion and timely filing of such elections in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax law) or any successor provision. The Company will pay any Tax attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election and will indemnify the Buyer and Marine Trading against any such Tax. The Company and the Buyer shall determine the fair market value of the assets of Marine Trading and the allocation of Aggregate Payment (as required pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder), together with applicable liabilities, among such assets. The parties shall agree on a schedule setting forth the allocation as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. Neither the Company nor the Buyer shall take any position on any Tax Return or with any taxing authority that is inconsistent with such allocation.

(g) Transfer Taxes. Each of the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall be responsible for the timely payment of one-half of the Transfer Taxes. “Transfer Taxes” shall mean all transfer, documentary, sales, use, excise, ad valorem, conveyance, gross receipts, registration, recordation, stamp, value-added, withholding and other similar Taxes (in no event including Taxes computed on the basis of income) imposed or assessed as a result of the Transactions, whether such Tax would be imposed by Applicable Law upon the Buyer, the Company or any DM Entity.

Nothing provided in this Section 7.5 shall limit any duty of an Indemnified Party to mitigate Damages under Applicable Law.

-56-

(e) Damages Net of Insurance, Etc.

After such notice, if the relevant Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party that the relevant Indemnifying Party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Action, then the Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled, if they so elect at their own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of their own choice to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the relevant Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that joint counsel for the Indemnified Party and the relevant Indemnifying Party shall result in a conflict under the applicable rules of professional conduct, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Parties’ cost, risk and expense to separate counsel of its own choosing and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim; provided, that the relevant Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any compromise or settlement that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability on the Indemnified Party without the consent of Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such Action and any appeal arising therefrom. If the Indemnifying Parties fail to assume the defense of such claim within 30 days after receipt of the notice of claim by the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Parties) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Parties’ cost, risk and expense, the defense of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties (but shall not have authority to settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Parties). If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Parties reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense.

To the extent that an arbitration takes place, such arbitration shall be in San Francisco, California. The language of the arbitration shall be in English.
