(b) Within five Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of the audited consolidated financial statements of KCC as of the Closing Date (but in any event no later than 90 days after the Closing), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the Shareholder Equity and (ii) the Working Capital, in each case as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate”), together with an audited consolidated balance sheet of KCC as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), which shall be prepared by McGladrey (which firm shall be engaged by Buyer for such purpose), at the expense of Seller, in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Estimated Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate and the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, respectively, and shall fairly present the consolidated financial position of KCC as of the Closing Date, as adjusted to exclude the Shareholder Equity Exclusions and, without duplication, any asset transferred out of the Acquired Companies prior to Closing.

Buyer will direct and use its reasonable efforts to cause McGladrey to give Seller and its accountants reasonable access to McGladrey’s work papers for the purpose of verifying the Closing Balance Sheet. In the event that Seller shall not deliver any such objection(s) with respect to the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate or the Closing Balance Sheet within such 30-day period, then the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate shall be deemed final for purposes of this Section 2.4 (such final Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate, the “Final Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate”). In the event that any such objection(s) are so delivered, the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate shall be deemed not final, and Buyer and Seller shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Disputed Items and, if they are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items within 15 Business Days of delivery of such notice, shall, five Business Days thereafter (or such earlier date as mutually agreed), submit the Disputed Items to the Chicago office of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (the “Accountant Arbitrator”) for resolution.

All determinations by the Accountant Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.4 absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accountant Arbitrator shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the extent to which each party prevailed, as determined by the Accountant Arbitrator. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that any adjustment made under this Section 2.4(c) is and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for income tax purposes. The terms “Final Shareholder Equity” and “Final Working Capital” shall mean, respectively, the definitive Shareholder Equity and Working Capital as of the Closing Date agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) by Buyer and Seller in accordance with this Section 2.4(c) or resulting from the determinations made by the Accountant Arbitrator in accordance with this Section 2.4(c) (in addition to those items theretofore agreed to by Buyer and Seller).

(d) At such time as the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate shall become the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate in accordance with Section 2.4(c):

(i) the Final Shareholder Equity shall be compared to the Shareholder Equity Target to determine the Final Shareholder Equity Adjustment. In the event that the Final Shareholder Equity Adjustment shall be a number greater than the Estimated Shareholder Equity Adjustment, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such difference. In the event that the Final Shareholder Equity Adjustment is less than the Estimated Shareholder Equity Adjustment, Seller shall pay Buyer an amount equal to such difference; and

(ii) the Final Working Capital shall be compared to the Working Capital Target to determine the Final Working Capital Adjustment, if any. Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of the Final Working Capital Adjustment, if any.

Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall be made within 10 Business Days from the date that the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(c), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the intended recipient of such funds. In the event that any payment is required to be made to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.4(d), Buyer may elect, at its sole option, to cause the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer from the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the obligation of Seller under this Section 2.4(d) and, if Buyer so elects, Seller shall execute with Buyer a Joint Written Instruction (as such term is defined in the Escrow Agreement) sufficient to cause the Escrow Agent to effectuate such release. If any amount is paid from the Escrow Account to Buyer with respect to any obligation of Seller under this Section 2.4(d), Seller shall be obligated to replenish the Escrow Account with respect thereto by promptly depositing additional funds in the amount of any such payment into the Escrow Account to be held and administered in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Any payment due to Seller which is not paid by Buyer within 10 Business Days from the date that the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Certificate is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall bear interest at 10% per annum (or, if lesser, the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law) until paid in full.

(b) If KCC receives any TrAIL Payment, it shall act as nominee and agent for Seller and promptly remit such amount to Seller (when reasonably possible by endorsing and delivering the same to Seller without first depositing it in KCC’s bank account), without, except as may be required by applicable Law, withholding for Taxes; provided, however, that Seller shall be responsible for the unreimbursable costs (i) approved by Seller in writing and associated with satisfying the TrAIL Project scope of work conditions (but not any change orders, costs for FAA lighting, new work orders, contingent Liabilities or unapproved costs), (ii) approved by Seller in writing to collect such TrAIL Payment, and (iii) arising or resulting from or relating to the matters set forth on Schedule 6.2 (collectively, the “TrAIL Costs”)).

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) harmless for any and all Losses incurred or sustained by a Buyer Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined) in connection with any claim or any action or proceeding between a Buyer Indemnified Party and Seller or between a Buyer Indemnified Party and any third party whether or not involving a third-party claim, relating to or arising out of (a) all Taxes of or imposed on the Acquired Companies for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and the portion of the taxable period through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed under Section 1374 of the Code (and any state or local statutes that are comparable or equivalent to Section 1374 of the Code) that are the liability of Seller to the extent any of the Acquired Companies may be held liable for such Taxes by any Taxing Authority as a transferee or successor, or pursuant to applicable Law; (b) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any of the Acquired Companies or Seller (or any predecessor of such Company or Seller) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar Law; or (c) any liability for the payment of any Taxes of any other Person for a Pre-Closing Tax Period arising (i) under any tax sharing or indemnity agreement or (ii) as a successor or as a transferee by operation of law.

7.2 Straddle Period.

In the case of any taxable period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), subject to Section 7.7, (a) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Acquired Companies; employment, social security or other similar Taxes; and any sales, use and other similar Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and (b) the amount of other Taxes of the Acquired Companies for a Straddle Period that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in such Straddle Period.

7.3 Asset Acquisition and Allocation of Purchase Price for Tax Purposes.

(a) Seller is a validly electing S corporation within the meaning of Code Section 1361(a)(1) (and any corresponding or similar provision of state or local Tax Law) and the Acquired Companies (other than wholly-owned domestic limited liability companies or joint ventures or partnerships the interests in which are being sold hereunder and are treated as either “disregarded entities” or partnerships for income Tax purposes) are “qualified subchapter S subsidiaries” of Seller or an Acquired Company within the meaning of Code Section 1361(b)(3) (and any corresponding or similar provision of state or local Tax Law). Therefore, the parties hereto acknowledge that, as required by Code Section 1361(b)(3)(C)(ii) and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (and any corresponding or similar provisions of state or local Tax Law), the purchase of the Shares by Buyer from Seller will be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and, as applicable, state and local income Tax purposes) as the taxable sale by Seller to Buyer of the Acquired Assets and the assumption by Buyer from Seller of all of the assumed liabilities, rather than the sale of the Shares.

(b) Attached as Schedule 7.3(b) (the “Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule”) is Seller’s allocation of the portions of Purchase Price and the projected amount of assumed liabilities (“Allocable Amount”) among the Acquired Assets as of the Closing Date in accordance with Code Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder that is allocable to assets resulting in ordinary income to Seller and its shareholders (including, but not limited to, fixed assets, backlog, and non-competition agreements) (the “Specified Assets”). Except as provided below, each of Buyer, KCC, and Seller agrees to report (and to cause its Affiliates to report) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a taxable sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and assumption of the assumed liabilities and to allocate the Allocable Amount among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule and agree not to take any position inconsistent with the treatment of the transactions contemplated hereunder as a taxable sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and assumption of the assumed liabilities or the allocation of the Allocable Amount according to Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule in any Tax Return (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 and any comparable forms for state, local and foreign Tax purposes), in any Tax refund claim or in any administrative or judicial proceeding related thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or prior to the date that is 120 days after Closing, (i) Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule”) on Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 (or successor form), reasonably allocating the Allocable Amount among the Acquired Assets (including the Specified Assets) as of the Closing Date in accordance with Code Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law), and (ii) Buyer shall make the payments specified in Section 7.3(c) to Seller to compensate Seller and its shareholders for additional Taxes payable by them as a result of Buyer’s (or the appraiser’s) purchase price allocation related to the Specified Assets. Subject to the following two sentences, each of Buyer, KCC, and Seller shall report (and to cause its Affiliates to report) the Transactions as a taxable sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and to allocate the Allocable Amount among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule, and agree not to take any position inconsistent with such treatment of the transactions contemplated hereunder as a taxable sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and assumption of the assumed liabilities or the allocation of the Allocable Amount according to Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule in any Tax Return (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 and any comparable forms for state, local and foreign Tax purposes), in any Tax refund claim or in any administrative or judicial proceeding related thereto. If within 30 days of receipt of the Buyer's Acquisition Allocation Schedule, the Seller provides written notice indicating that it disagrees with any amounts allocated to "fixed assets" (commonly known as plant, property and equipment) thereon, the parties will discuss such disagreements in good faith in an effort to agree upon the proper such amounts, and if the parties cannot reach agreement within 30 days of such notice, the disputed items will be referred to an accredited firm of valuation experts (selected by Seller, subject to the consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Buyer's Allocation Schedule shall be amended to conform to any agreement of the parties or determination of the valuation experts under the preceding sentence. Each of Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with the valuation experts and provide the valuation experts with such information relevant to the valuation experts’ determinations as the valuation experts may reasonably request or such party may otherwise deem to be appropriate. In the event the Allocable Amount is adjusted in accordance with any provision of this Agreement after the Closing, the Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule or Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule, as applicable, shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account such adjustment and the parties shall cooperate in the filing and preparation of any supplemental Forms 8594 (and any comparable forms for state, local and foreign Tax purposes) as may be required to report such adjustments.

- 50 -

(c) For purposes of Section 7.3(b), the payment by Buyer to Seller shall be equal to the sum of the following: (i) if the amounts allocated on the Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule to fixed assets listed on Schedule 7.3(c) that are not associated with a joint venture exceed the amounts allocated to such assets on the Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule, 51.25% of such excess up to $521,316, plus 25% of any remaining excess; (ii) if the amounts allocated on the Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule to fixed assets listed on Schedule 7.3(c) not described in clause (i) exceed the amounts allocated to such assets on the Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule, 25% of such excess; (iii) if the amounts allocated on the Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule to fixed assets of non-sponsored joint ventures exceed the tax basis of such fixed assets, 25% of such excess; and (iv) if the amounts allocated on the Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule to inventory, backlog, non-competition agreements or any other intangible assets the sale of which would give rise to ordinary income for Seller exceed the amounts allocated to such assets on the Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule, 25% of such excess. It is the intent of the parties that amounts paid under this Section 7.3(c) shall represent an adjustment to the Purchase Price, which shall be allocated to goodwill on Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule, and the parties will report such payments consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of this Section 7.3(c), Buyer shall not have to make a payment to Seller related to a purchase price allocation to fixed assets under clauses (i) and (ii) above until and unless the amounts allocated to the fixed assets listed on Schedule 7.3(c) exceed (x) for assets described in clause (i), $10,650,000; or (y) for fixed assets described in clause (ii), an amount corresponding to a total value for such assets to the sponsored joint ventures holding such assets of $33,950,000 (of which Seller’s share is $21,847,048). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of this Section 7.3(c), Buyer shall have no obligation to make a payment to Seller related to a purchase price allocation to fixed assets under clause (iii) to the extent the cumulative amounts due under such clause would exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, except to the extent of (and at the time of the receipt of) the net proceeds to Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates from the sale of the assets described in clause (iii) in excess of $500,000. For example, if Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule allocates $600,000 in excess of Seller’s allocation on Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule to assets described in clause (i), and if the portion of such excess over the threshold described in clause (x) of $10,650,000 equals $500,000, then Buyer’s payment under this Section 7.3(c) shall equal 51.25% of $500,000, or $256,250. If Buyer’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule allocates $900,000 in excess of Seller’s allocation on Seller’s Acquisition Allocation Schedule to assets described in clause (ii) related to sponsored joint ventures, and if the portion of this excess corresponding to the Seller’s share of the total value for such assets over the threshold described in clause (y) of $21,847,048 equals $600,000, then Buyer’s payment under this Section 7.3(c) shall equal 25% of $600,000, or $150,000.

7.4 Tax Periods Ending on or before the Closing Date.

Seller shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies or in which the Acquired Companies are required to be included for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing. Seller shall be able to use employees of the Acquired Companies free of charge to help with the preparation of such Tax Returns, but Seller shall bear any expenses for any third parties that Seller contracts to help in the preparation of such Tax Returns. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to deliver each such Tax Return, in a form ready to be filed, to Buyer, for review and comment, at least 20 Business Days before the due date (including extensions) of any such Tax Return. Buyer at its expense shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file (or cause to be filed) all Straddle Period Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies, and such Straddle Returns shall be prepared consistent with prior practices of the Acquired Companies if such prior practices are consistent with applicable Law, provided, however, any Straddle Period Tax returns for any joint venture which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (or any corresponding or similar provision of state or local Tax Law) shall be filed in accordance with the terms of each applicable joint venture agreement in accordance with prior practices and otherwise applicable Tax Law. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to deliver each such Straddle Period Tax Returns, in a form ready to be filed, to Seller for review and comment, at least 20 Business Days before the due date (including extensions) of any such Straddle Period Tax Returns. Buyer shall make any changes suggested by Seller to the extent such changes are in accordance with the prior practice of the Companies and are in accordance with applicable Law. For all Tax Returns for which it is responsible under this Section 7.4, (a) Seller shall notify Buyer of any respect in which such Tax Returns will be not consistent with prior practice of the Acquired Companies, and (b) shall consider in good faith all comments submitted by Buyer. For all returns for which it is responsible under this Section 7.4, Buyer shall notify Seller of any respect in which such Tax Returns will be not consistent with prior practice of the Acquired Companies, and (b) shall consider in good faith all comments submitted by Seller.

7.5 Post-Closing Actions.

Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, make any election under Treasury Regulation 301.7701-3 (or any analogous or similar state or local, or foreign law or regulation) for any of the Acquired Companies effective on or before the Closing Date. Except as required by applicable law determined by a court, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit the Acquired Companies to, (i) take any action on or after the Closing Date other than in the Ordinary Course of Business, including but not limited to the sale of any assets or the payment of any dividend or distribution or the effectuation of any redemption, that could give rise to any Tax liability of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, or indemnification obligation of Seller under Article VII or Article VIII, or (ii) make or change any material Tax election, amend any Tax Return, take any Tax position on any Tax Return, or compromise or settle any Tax liability, in each case if such action could have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax benefit of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, without the prior written permission of Seller, which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Seller shall be entitled to retain, or receive prompt payment from Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes (including refunds and credits arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date or otherwise) with respect to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date related to the Acquired Companies, actually received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies).

7.6 Tax Proceedings.

Within a reasonable time (but not more than 10 Business Days) after Buyer receives written notice of any Tax contest, audit or other proceeding relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or to a Straddle Period (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”), Buyer will notify or cause the Acquired Companies to notify Seller in writing of such Pre-Closing Tax Contest. Any failure or delay on the part of Buyer to give such notice shall not affect whether Seller is liable hereunder except and to the extent that Seller is prejudiced thereby. If such Tax Contest relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or if such Tax Contest relates to the 2012 calendar year), Seller will have the right, at Seller’s expense, to control the defense of such Pre-Closing Tax Contest, and Buyer shall have the right to cooperate at its own expense. Otherwise, with respect to a Straddle Period, Seller shall have the right to participate, at its own expense.

7.7 Transfer and Other Taxes.

Buyer and Seller shall each bear 50% of any sales, use, transfer, real estate transfer, controlling interest transfer, value added, gross receipts, recording, stamp, documentary and other similar Taxes, if any, arising out of the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”). In addition, all personal property, ad valorem or other similar Taxes (other than and excluding income Taxes) (“Property Taxes”) levied with respect to the Acquired Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller based on the number of days included in such period through (and which includes) the Closing Date and the number of days included in such period after the Closing Date, and Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns with respect to Taxes addressed in this Section 7.7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall be solely responsible for any Transfer Taxes or Property Taxes attributable to the distribution of the Excluded Assets.

- 53 -

7.8 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to Taxes pursuant to this Section 7.8(a). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or such other proceeding and making employees or Representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Buyer (after the Closing) shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies, and will cause each of the Acquired Companies to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to such Acquired Company, relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (or, if there is no such limitation, for at least seven years) for the respective taxable periods, and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(b) Buyer and Seller will cooperate with each other and will take all such actions and steps as are mutually satisfactory to the parties to reduce or minimize applicable state and local sales, transfer or other comparable Taxes in connection with the Transactions, provided that any such request will not unduly delay the Transactions. Buyer will provide to Seller such records and information as Seller reasonably requests for the preparation of any Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies or in which the Acquired Companies are required to be included, for any taxable period ending on the Closing Date or the 2012 tax year, or for Seller’s 2012 taxable year.

7.9 Treatment of Certain Payments.

Buyer, KCC and Seller agree that, for avoidance of doubt, the Xxxxxx Deferred Compensation Amount, the Closing Retention Bonus Amount and the bonuses paid by KCC to employees prior to or at Closing in accordance with Section 4.29(f) shall be reflected on Seller’s tax return that includes the Acquired Companies through the Closing Date.

8.1 Indemnification of Buyer.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies), and each of their respective Representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against and in respect of any and all losses, liabilities, damages, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, orders, assessments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, costs or deficiencies, including, without limitation, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “Losses”), caused by or resulting or arising from, or otherwise with respect to:

(i) the failure of any of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the Closing Date (or an earlier date specified therein);

(ii) the breach by Seller of any covenant or other agreement made by Seller in this Agreement;

(iii) the Excluded Assets or any actions taken by Seller or the Acquired Companies in connection with the distribution, transfer or assignment of Excluded Assets to Seller;

(iv) the Indemnifiable Matters; and

(v) the Company Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses, in each case to the extent not given effect in the calculation of the Purchase Price.

provided, however, that Seller shall only be responsible for indemnifying any Buyer Indemnified Party for 50% of Losses caused by or resulting or arising from, or otherwise with respect to, the Acura Matter.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i): (i) unless and until, and only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of all Losses otherwise indemnifiable exceeds an aggregate threshold amount hereunder of $1,000,000 (the “Basket Amount”), up to an aggregate maximum indemnity amount hereunder equal to $13,000,000 (the “Cap”), except that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to claims respecting the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Approval of Agreement and Transactions), 3.2 (Seller’s Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligations; No Conflicts or Restrictions); 3.3 (Ownership of Shares), 4.1 (Approval of Transaction Documents), 4.2 (Acquired Companies’ Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligations; No Conflicts or Restrictions), 4.3 (Capital Structure; No Liens), 4.22 (No Investment Banker’s, Broker’s or Finder’s Fees); 4.29 (Certain Pre-Closing Actions); or fraud; and (ii) unless such claim is asserted in writing on or prior to the date (if any) on which the survival of the representation or warranty or obligation at issue expires pursuant to Section 8.4 (the “Survival Expiration Date”).

- 55 -

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Losses shall not include any consequential damages that are not reasonably foreseeable or any special, indirect or punitive damages (other than any consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages paid by an Indemnified Party to a third party in connection with the resolution of a Third-Party Claim) and (ii) the amount of indemnity payable pursuant to this Section 8.1 with respect to any Losses shall be reduced (A) by any reserves or accruals reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet that relate specifically to such Losses or (B) to the extent any such Loss amount has already been taken into account in determining the Purchase Price.

(d) The Escrow Amount shall remain in escrow and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement until termination or expiration in accordance with the terms thereof. At any time and from time to time that Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification from Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or shall otherwise be entitled to payment of amounts owing from Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain payment thereof from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

8.2 Indemnification of Seller.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and each of their respective Representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against and in respect of any and all Losses caused by or resulting or arising from, or otherwise with respect to:

(i) failure of any of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the Closing (or an earlier date specified therein); or

- 56 -

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Losses shall not include any consequential damages that are not reasonably foreseeable or special, indirect or punitive damages (other than any consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages paid by an Indemnified Party to a third party in connection with the resolution of a Third-Party Claim).

8.3 Indemnification Procedure.

All claims for indemnification under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 8.3:

(a) Except with respect to any matters related to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 7.6 of this Agreement, in the event that any claim for which a party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable to the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) hereunder is asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim, specifying the nature of such Third-Party Claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third-Party Claim) (the “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto, except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability or right to defend the claim or otherwise results in actual loss. The Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, shall assume and control the defense of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim that involves criminal allegations or in any manner involves any injunctive relief against an Indemnified Party that, if successful, would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party or the operations of the Acquired Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, and to participate in the defense of any claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or, after electing to defend such claim, has failed to actively defend the Third Party Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys for the Indemnified Party. In no event shall the Indemnified Party pay or enter into any settlement of any claim or consent to any judgment with respect to any claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement or judgment would require the Indemnifying Party to pay any amount. Except with respect to claims relating to the Acura Matter, the Indemnifying Party may enter into a settlement or consent to any judgment without the consent of the Indemnified Party so long as (i) such settlement or judgment involves monetary damages only and (ii) a term of the settlement or judgment is that the Person or Persons asserting such claim unconditionally release all Indemnified Parties from all liability with respect to such claim; otherwise the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required in order to enter into any settlement of, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, any claim, which consent shall to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

- 57 -

(b) In the event the Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which is not a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness send a Claim Notice with respect to such claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto, except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability or right to defend the claim or otherwise results in actual loss.

(c) In connection with any claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access to the books, records and assets of the Indemnified Party which relate to the act, omission or occurrence giving rise to such claim and the right, upon prior notice during normal business hours, to interview any appropriate personnel of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, and the Indemnified Party otherwise shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (and with its insurance company, if applicable) in defending a claim.

8.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants.

The representations and warranties of the parties contained herein shall survive for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 20 months after the Closing Date and shall not survive beyond such period; provided that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 (Approval of Agreement and Transactions), Section3.2 (Seller’s Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligations; No Conflicts or Restrictions), Section 3.3 (Ownership of Shares), Section4.1 (Approval of Transaction Documents), Section4.2 (Companies’ Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligations; No Conflicts or Restrictions), Section 4.3 (Capital Structure; No Liens), Section4.22 (No Investment Banker’s, Broker’s or Finder’s Fees), Section 5.2 (Buyer’s Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligation; No Conflicts or Restrictions), Section5.3 (No Governmental Authority Restrictions) and Section5.5 (No Investment Banker’s, Broker’s or Finder’s Fees) shall survive until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 4.13 (Taxes), Section 4.18 (Employee Benefits) and Section 4.23 (Environmental Matters) shall survive the Closing until 90 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the statute, regulation or other authority on which the claim for indemnification under any such representation or warranty is based (after giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof). Each of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the earlier of the date on which the applicable covenant or agreement shall have been performed in accordance with its terms and date that the statute of limitations with respect to any breach of any such covenant or agreement shall have expired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any obligations under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall not terminate with respect to any Losses as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have given notice to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 8.3 before the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

- 58 -

8.5 Calculation of Losses

(a) The amount of any Losses payable under this Article VIII by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any Loss Tax Benefit inuring to the Indemnified Party on account of such Loss. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, then (i) if no indemnification payments by or on behalf of an Indemnifying Party have been made with respect to such Losses, the amount of such Losses shall be reduced by such amounts received under insurance policies or from another Person, net of any costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys), deductibles, retentions, or increase in premiums incurred in connection with or as a result of collecting such proceeds or other recoveries, and (ii) if an indemnification payment by or on behalf of an Indemnifying Party has been made with respect to such Losses, and such amounts received under such insurance policies or from another Person together with such indemnification payment are collectively in excess of the amount of such indemnifiable Losses, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party who made such payment the lesser of (A) the amount of such excess, net of any costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys), deductibles, retentions, or increase in premiums incurred in connection with or as a result of collecting such proceeds or other recoveries, and (B) the amount paid by such Indemnitor to the Indemnitee with respect to such Losses. The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance coverage. If the Indemnified Party receives a Loss Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Person or Persons that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Loss Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Loss Tax Benefit is actually received or realized by the Indemnified Party and has not been previously applied to reduce the amount of the related Loss. No Indemnifying Party shall have any right to subrogate to any claim any Indemnified Party may have against any third party.

(b) The Indemnified Parties shall take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps required by applicable Law to mitigate and otherwise minimize their Losses to the extent reasonably possible upon and after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses.

8.6 Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

It is the intent of the parties that amounts paid under this Article VIII shall represent an adjustment to the Purchase Price and the parties will report such payments consistent with such intent.

- 59 -

8.7 Exclusive Remedy.

After the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of each Buyer Indemnified Party and Seller Indemnified Party with respect to any and all claims arising out of this Agreement and the Transactions (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or intentional misrepresentation) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII and this Article VIII. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence of this Section 8.7, each Buyer Indemnified Party and each Seller Indemnified Party hereby waives any and all statutory rights of contribution or indemnification that it might otherwise be entitled to assert against any Seller Indemnified Party or any Buyer Indemnified Party, respectively, under any federal, state, local or foreign law, regulation or ordinance or any similar rules of law embodied in the common law; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’x rights to indemnification in his capacity as an officer and director of the Acquired Companies. This Article VIII shall not affect the rights of Buyer to obtain specific performance of the covenants in Article X.

ARTICLE IX
CLOSING DELIVERIES

9.1 Seller’s Deliveries at Closing.

At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer:

NON-COMPETITION; CONFIDENTIALITY.

10.1 Non-Competition.

To induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees that, following the Closing Date and for a period of five years thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, nor shall its shareholders own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be employed or retained by or render services to, any business that at any time competes with the Business anywhere in North America, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands or American Samoa; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent (a) the purchase or ownership by Seller, its shareholders or Affiliates of less than five percent of the outstanding equity securities of any class of securities of a company registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (b) Xxxxx International from serving customers outside North America, (c) Harkins from continuing to engage in its business as conducted as of the date hereof, consistent with past practices, in the geographic areas in which Harkins conducts such business as of the date hereof, and (d) the activities set forth on Schedule 10.1.

- 61 -

10.3 Remedies upon Breach.

Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Buyer (and the Acquired Companies after the Closing) could be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by Seller of any of the obligations under this Article X; (b) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach; and (c) Buyer (and the Acquired Companies after the Closing) shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that they may have, in the event of any such breach. Notwithstanding the definition of Restricted Period, if Seller breaches Section 10.1 or 10.2 and Buyer seeks and obtains an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, the Restrictive Period shall be computed from the date relief is granted to Buyer instead of from the Closing Date and reduced by any time following the Closing Date during which Seller complied with its obligations thereunder.

10.4 Acknowledgment by Buye.

Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction, an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Acquired Companies and, in making its determination to proceed with the Transactions, Buyer has relied on the results of its own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of Seller expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including the Disclosure Schedules. SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY SELLER CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER TO BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS, AND BUYER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY RELATING TO THE FUTURE FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, ASSETS OR LIABILITIES OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES OR ANY RELATING TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER.

10.5 Seller’s Post-Closing Confidentiality Obligation.

Seller acknowledges that (a) during the course of its affiliation with the Acquired Companies, it has produced and had access to Confidential Information and (b) the unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information at any time may deprive Buyer of benefits of this Agreement and the Transactions. Seller shall (and shall cause its Representatives to) hold in confidence the Confidential Information and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose, publish, or otherwise make available any of the Confidential Information to the public or to any Person. In the event that Seller or any of its Representatives reasonably believes that he, she or it is compelled by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person will (i) if permitted by Law, provide Buyer with prompt written notice before such disclosure and (ii) at Buyer’s cost and expense use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with such compelled disclosure and any attempt by Buyer to seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, Seller and its Representatives, as applicable, shall furnish only that portion of such information which, in the opinion of its counsel, it is legally compelled to disclose and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any such information so disclosed.

11.3 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement together with each Schedule and Exhibit thereto and the Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement by and among the parties concerning the purchase of the Shares by Buyer and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they have related in any way to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, that certain Letter of Intent dated July 25, 2012, by and between Buyer and Seller. Any and all duties and obligations which Seller may have to Buyer or which Buyer or KCC may have to Seller with respect to or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions are limited to those set forth in or entered into in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions. Neither the duties nor obligations of any party, nor the rights of any party hereto, shall be expanded beyond the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on the basis of any legal or equitable principle or on any other basis whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right of indemnification or contribution against an Acquired Company with respect to any breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, whether by virtue of any contractual or statutory right of indemnity or otherwise, and all claims to the contrary are hereby waived and released. Neither any equitable nor legal principle nor any implied obligation of good faith or fair dealing nor any other matter requires any party hereto to incur, suffer or perform any act, condition or obligation contrary, or in addition, to the terms of this Agreement, whether or not existing and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable.

- 64 -

11.4 Amendments and Modifications.

No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. The failure of either party hereto to exercise any rights or privileges hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any such rights or privileges hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none is exclusive of any other or of any rights or remedies that any party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

11.5 Successors and Assigns.

All the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No party may assign any of its rights, benefits, interests or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, provided, however, that Buyer may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person that is an Affiliate of Buyer, provided, that, any such assignment shall not release Buyer from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

11.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries; Binding Effect.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including, without limitation, Article VIII), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

- 65 -

11.7 Arbitration; Governing Law.

(a) Buyer and Seller agree to use reasonable efforts to resolve between themselves any dispute they have with respect to the matters covered hereby. Accordingly, and without limiting any rights hereunder, the parties will try to resolve in a friendly manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement. If, following the Closing, there shall be a dispute arising from or relating in any way to this Agreement, one of Seller’s shareholders (who shall be selected by Seller’s shareholders as Seller’s representative), on the one hand, and an executive of Buyer (who shall be selected by Buyer as its representative), on the other hand, shall meet (by telephone or in person) no later than three Business Days after receipt of notice by a party of a request for resolution of any such dispute. Such designated representatives of Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute. If, within 10 Business Days after receipt of notice of any such dispute, such designated representatives are unable to resolve the dispute, then either Buyer or Seller may take any other action permitted by this Agreement, including requesting arbitration for such dispute pursuant to Section 11.7(b).

(b) From and after the Closing, the parties agree that all disputes arising from or relating in any way to this Agreement, including but not limited to, all disputes arising from or relating to the negotiation, execution and delivery, validity, interpretation, construction and enforcement of this Agreement or any portion hereof, and including any dispute between the parties as to whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration, shall be decided exclusively through binding arbitration, to be conducted at JAMS, at its Denver location, pursuant to the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). Each party shall appoint one arbitrator, who shall be non-neutral, and the two party-appointed arbitrators shall then designate a third arbitrator, and the three arbitrators shall hear the dispute. The parties agree to permit ex parte communications between each party and its non-neutral appointed arbitrator as permitted by law and applicable ethical rules, as contemplated by Rule 14(c) of the JAMS Rules. In the event the two party-appointed arbitrators are unable to agree on the selection of the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with Rule 15 of the Rules. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Nothing in this Section 11.7(b) shall prevent Buyer from exercising its rights under Section 11.13.

(c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to the law of the conflicts of law of such State.

(d) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.7(D).

- 66 -

11.8 Severability.

If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

11.9 Titles and Subtitles.

The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

11.10 Expenses.

Except as the parties may otherwise agree in writing or as otherwise provided herein, Buyer and Seller shall bear their own respective fees, costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.

11.11 Counterpart; Facsimile or PDF Signatures.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or pdf, and such facsimile and pdf signatures shall be treated as original signatures for all applicable purposes and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto, each other party hereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to the other party. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission, as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

- 67 -

11.12 Limitation on Recourse.

No claim shall be brought or maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, employee (present or former) or Affiliate of a Seller which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party hereto, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.

11.13 Specific Performance.

Seller acknowledges that the breach of this Agreement could cause irreparable damage to Buyer and that money damages or other legal remedies may not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Therefore, Buyer may apply for appropriate injunctive relief in connection with the obligations of Seller to be performed by it at or prior to Closing under this Agreement, including Seller’s obligation to sell the Shares to Buyer. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other such remedies which Buyer may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
