The Equityholders’ Representative’s failure to include any item listed on the Purchaser Adjustment Statement in the Objection Notice shall be deemed an acceptance of such items and the Purchaser Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and the Sellers with respect to such items. The Equityholders’ Representative’s failure to provide an Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchaser Adjustment Statement shall be deemed an acceptance of such Purchaser Adjustment Statement and, as such, the Purchaser Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and the Sellers.

(c) If the Equityholders’ Representative delivers a timely Objection Notice, and Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative are able to resolve the dispute within thirty

(30) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Objection Notice (or such longer period as Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative may agree), Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall set forth the agreed upon Closing Working Capital, the Closing Payoff Indebtedness and the Closing Transaction Expenses in a written agreement signed by the Equityholders’ Representative and Purchaser (a “Settlement Agreement”) and such Settlement Agreement shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and the Sellers.

(d) If the Equityholders’ Representative delivers a timely Objection Notice and Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative are unable to resolve such dispute as provided for in Section 2.3(c) by mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Objection Notice (or such longer period as Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative may agree), Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative hereby agree that they shall promptly submit the disputed matters to the Accountant to resolve such dispute. If issues are submitted to the Accountant for resolution, Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall enter into a customary engagement letter with the Accountant at the time the disputed matter is submitted to the Accountant.

(e) Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall direct the Accountant to resolve the disputed matters based on the materials submitted to it pursuant to Section 2.3(d) within thirty (30) days following the submission of such materials, and the Accountant shall not make any other determination or undertake any independent discovery. In making such determination, the Accountant shall act in its capacity as an expert in accounting and not as an arbitrator and may only consider those items and amounts (and related items and amounts) as to which Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified above and must resolve the matter in accordance with GAAP (except for any permitted exceptions therefrom described in the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Payoff Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses) and in conformity with the same accounting methods, policies, practices, and procedures, with consistent classification, judgments, and estimation methodology, as were used by the Acquired Companies in preparing the Company Financials, but, in any case, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, that the determination of the Accountant will neither be more favorable to Purchaser than reflected in the Purchaser Adjustment Statement, nor more favorable to the Sellers than reflected in the Objection Notice. Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative shall cooperate with the Accountant and promptly provide all documents and information reasonably requested by the Accountant. In connection with its resolution of the dispute, the Accountant shall deliver to Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative a report (the “Accountant’s Report”) in which the Accountant shall determine those items and amounts that are the subject of the dispute between Purchaser and the Equityholders’ Representative. The Accountant’s Report shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the Accountant’s determination with respect to each of the disputed items in the Objection Notice, and a revised calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the

Closing Payoff Indebtedness or the Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable, if any, together with supporting calculations. All fees and expenses relating to this work of the Accountant shall be borne by Purchaser, on one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation shall also be determined by the Accountant and be included in the Accountant’s Report. Any such amounts that are to be borne by the Sellers shall be first paid by each Seller in an amount equal to such Seller’s Proportionate Share of any such amounts, and second, to the extent that any Seller does not make payment to the Accountant of such amount owed to the Accountant by such Seller, through distributions from the then remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Account in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 10.5(a)) and the Escrow Agreement. The Accountant’s Report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and the Sellers and shall be deemed a final arbitration award that is binding on each of Purchaser and the Sellers and no party shall seek further recourse to courts, other tribunals or otherwise, other than to enforce the Accountant’s Report.

(f) The final determination of the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Payoff Indebtedness and the Closing Transaction Expenses either through the Equityholders’ Representative’s failure to timely deliver an Objection Notice pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the entry into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or the delivery of an Accountant’s Report pursuant to Section 2.3(e) shall be referred to as the “Accepted Adjustment Statement.” If there is a Purchase Price Surplus, then the Equityholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall pay to Purchaser, within three (3) Business Days following the determination of the Accepted Adjustment Statement, cash in the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser.

All amounts owing to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) shall be first paid by each Seller in an amount equal to such Seller’s Proportionate Share of any such amounts, and second, to the extent that any Seller does not make payment to Purchaser of such amount owed to Purchaser by such Seller, through distributions from the then remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Account in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 10.5(a)) and the Escrow Agreement.

(g) The Equityholders’ Representative and its accountants, lawyers and representatives shall be given reasonable access during regular business hours to (and shall be allowed to make copies of) the relevant Books and Records of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries and to applicable personnel of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries reasonably requested by such persons, in each case for the sole purpose of their review of the final determination of the Closing Working Capital pursuant to this Section 2.3.

Any such assumption of the obligations of Purchaser, such Acquired Company, such Subsidiary or such successor, as the case may be, shall not operate to release, relieve, waive, terminate or modify the obligations of Purchaser, such Acquired Company, such Subsidiary or such successor, as the case may be, under this Section 7.4.

(b) the sole recourse of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with any and all Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2(a) that arise from any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of any Acquired Company (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4 and the provisions of Section 10.5(a)) shall be first, to satisfy such Losses out of proceeds from the R&W Insurance Policy and second, if all or any portion of such Losses are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, to satisfy the amount of such Losses that are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy against all or any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and if the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement is insufficient to satisfy all of such Losses that are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, no Seller shall have any liability of any kind or nature with respect to such Losses;

(c) the sole recourse of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with any and all Losses (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4) for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under (1) Section 10.2(b) in connection with any breach or inaccuracy of any of the Acquired Company Fundamental Representations, (2) Section 10.2(d) in connection with any failure by any of the Acquired Companies to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that is applicable to any such Acquired Company, (3) Section 10.2(g) or Section 10.2(h) or (4) under ARTICLE VIII, shall be first, to satisfy such Losses out of proceeds from the R&W Insurance Policy (except with respect to any Losses under Sections 10.2(d) or 10.2(g) or Article VIII), second, with respect to any Losses under Sections 10.2(d) or 10.2(g) or Article VIII or if all or any portion of such Losses are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, to satisfy the amount of such Losses that are not insured or covered by the R&W Insurance Policy against all or any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and third, if the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement is insufficient to satisfy all of such Losses that are not insured or covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, to proceed against the Sellers for the portion of such Losses (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4, including, without limitation, Section 10.4(f)) that cannot be satisfied out of the Indemnification Escrow Amount;

(d) the sole recourse of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with any and all Losses (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4) for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under (1) Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b) in connection with any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by a Seller, (2) Section 10.2(d) in connection with any failure by a Seller to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that is applicable to such Seller or (3) Section 10.2(e) or Section 10.2(f), shall be first, to satisfy such Losses out of proceeds from the R&W Insurance Policy (except with respect to any Losses under Sections 10.2(d), 10.2(e) or 10.2(f)), second, with respect to any Losses under Sections 10.2(d), 10.2(e) or 10.2(f) or if all or any portion of such Losses are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, to satisfy the amount of such Losses that are not insured or covered by the R&W Insurance Policy against such Seller’s Proportionate Share of all or any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and third, if such Seller’s Proportionate Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement is insufficient to satisfy all of such Losses that are not insured or covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, to proceed against such Seller and not against any of the other Sellers for the portion of such Losses (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4, including, without limitation, Section 10.4(g)) that cannot be satisfied out of such Seller’s Proportionate Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount (it being understood and agreed that the purpose of this limitation of liability is to reflect that the representations and warranties of the Sellers in this Agreement are several and not joint and several and that the covenants and agreements of the Sellers in this Agreement are also several and not joint and several);

(e) the sole recourse of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with any and all Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2(c) (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4 and the provisions of Section 10.5(a)) shall be first, to satisfy such Losses out of proceeds from the R&W Insurance Policy, second, if all or any portion of such Losses are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, to satisfy the amount of such Losses that are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy against all or any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and third, if the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement is insufficient to satisfy all of such Losses that are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, to proceed against each Seller (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4) for up to a maximum aggregate portion of all of such Losses that is equal to the lesser of (1) such Seller’s Proportionate Share of all of such Losses not otherwise covered by the R&W Insurance Policy or the Indemnification Escrow Amount, and (2) such Seller’s Proportionate Share of $5,000,000;

(f) no Seller shall have any liability for any portion of any Loss (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4) for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under ARTICLE VIII or Section 10.2 (other than as otherwise provided in Section 10.4(g) or in Section 10.4(l) below) if and to the extent that (1) such portion of such Loss exceeds such Seller’s Proportionate Share

of such Loss or (2) such portion of such Loss, when added together with the amount of all other Losses for which such Seller has been liable under ARTICLE VIII or this ARTICLE X, exceeds the portion of the Final Purchase Price actually received by such Seller;

(g) no Seller shall have any liability for any portion of any Loss (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4) for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under (1) Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b) in connection with any breach or inaccuracy by such Seller of any representation or warranty made by such Seller, (2) Section 10.2(d) in connection with any failure by such Seller to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that is applicable to Seller or (3) Section 10.2(e) or Section 10.2(f), if and to the extent that such portion of such Loss, when added together with the amount of all other Losses for which such Seller has been liable under ARTICLE VIII or this ARTICLE X, exceeds the portion of the Final Purchase Price actually received by such Seller;

(h) no Seller shall have any liability for any portion of any Loss for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2 as a result of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made as of the Closing Date by the Acquired Companies or any Seller if such breach or inaccuracy was caused by or was the result of any action taken or not taken by any of the Acquired Companies, any Subsidiary of any of the Acquired Companies or such Seller at any time during the period after the date of this Agreement and through and including the Closing and if the taking of such action or refraining from taking such action either was expressly permitted under any of clauses (a)-(w) of Section 6.1 or Section 6.1 of the Disclosure Schedule or was consented to in writing by the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1;

(i) there shall be no liability arising from any breach or inaccuracy of the Special Customer Contracts Representations, and no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall make any claim for indemnification under Section 10.2(c) in connection with any such breach or inaccuracy, unless the Losses arising from such breach or inaccuracy relate to or arise out of (i) Products sold by any of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing or (ii) Products sold by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates at any time during the period commencing after the Closing and ending on the 180th day after the Closing, provided, however, that, in the case of this clause (ii), such Products (1) were designed by any of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, (2) are manufactured, produced or assembled by the Purchaser and its Affiliates in strict compliance with the designs in effect as of the Closing for such Product, (3) are manufactured, produced, assembled, stored, shipped, handled, operated, repaired or maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Closing in the same manner as such Products were manufactured, produced, assembled, stored, shipped, handled, operated, repaired or maintained by the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and in full compliance with all of the requirements of any applicable Contract as in effect prior to the Closing with respect to such Product or any of the materials, parts or components of such Product and (4) are stored, handled, operated, maintained or repaired by the applicable customer or user of such Product in strict compliance with the requirements or written instructions for the storing, handling, operation, maintenance or repair of such Product in effect as of the Closing;

(j) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) for purposes of determining Losses in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article X, each Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Article X, be liable only for those damages that were reasonably foreseeable and flow naturally from the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification and, as such, are recoverable under Applicable Law in an action, suit or proceeding brought in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover such damages, and (ii) subject in all cases to clause (i) above, and except for amounts paid or required to be paid to a Third Party in connection with a Third Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article X for (A) any punitive or incidental damages or (B) any consequential, special or indirect damages, lost profits or diminution in value (in each case, other than damages described in clause (i) above);

(k) the amount of Losses for which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE X shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds actually received by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses and net of the amount of any Tax benefits actually realized by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses; and

(l) no Seller shall have any liability for any portion of any Loss (subject to, and after giving effect to, all other applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4) for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2(b) in connection with any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.15(i)(iv) if and to the extent that (1) such portion of such Loss exceeds such Seller’s Proportionate Share of such Loss or (2) such Seller’s Proportionate Share of $600,000;

(m) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses under this ARTICLE X with respect to any matter to the extent that such matter has already been taken into account and reflected in full in any reduction of the Initial Purchase Price pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 2.3 or has been previously claimed and paid in full under ARTICLE VIII or this ARTICLE X (it being understood and agreed by the parties that their intent in this clause (m) is to agree to avoid duplicative claims for the same matters).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4 shall not operate to limit the liability of any Seller under this Article X for any Losses if such Losses arise from any fraud or willful misconduct by such Seller. For purposes of clarification, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the obligation of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to satisfy Losses that are subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(b), Section 10.4(c), Section 10.4(d) or Section 10.4(e) first from the R&W Insurance Policy before seeking recourse to the Indemnification Escrow Amount or, if applicable in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4(c), Section 10.4(d) or Section 10.4(e), the Sellers, shall not be construed to limit the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from recovering from the Indemnification Escrow Amount or, if applicable in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4(c), Section 10.4(d) or Section 10.4(e), the Sellers, all or any portion of such Losses (subject to, and after giving effect to, all applicable limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10.4, including, without limitation, Section 10.4(a)) that cannot be recovered from the R&W Insurance Policy by virtue of the application of the retention amount provisions set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this sentence are subject to Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under the next sentence. Purchaser covenants and agrees to present to the

applicable insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy all indemnification claims covered by the R&W Insurance Policy for application against the retention amount. Purchaser hereby further covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with terms of, and enforce, the R&W Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding two sentences shall constitute covenants and agreements of the Purchaser notwithstanding the placement of such sentences in this Section 10.4 which otherwise generally addresses limitation of liability matters.

Section 10.5 Payment Source; No Contribution from the Company.

(a) All amounts owing to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE X and Section 8.3 shall be satisfied in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4 and this Section 10.5(a). On the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall distribute to the Equityholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, an amount equal to the remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Account (together with any earnings thereon) as of such date less (i) the amount of any claims for indemnification under this ARTICLE X of any Purchaser Indemnified Party that have been settled out of the Indemnification Escrow Account, but against which the Indemnification Escrow Account has not yet been applied and (ii) an amount sufficient to satisfy any then-pending claims for indemnification under this ARTICLE X of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties if and to the extent that such then-pending claims for indemnification are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, that, in the event that (1) at the time of the distribution of the remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Account (together with any earnings thereon) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.5(a), there are then-pending claims for indemnification under Section 10.2 that would be satisfied out of the amount of such distribution but for the fact that such then-pending claims are or would be covered by the R&W Insurance Policy if the Purchaser complies or had complied with all of its obligations under the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to providing notice of, and submitting for payment, such then-pending claims, and (ii) following such distribution, a determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that such then-pending claims for indemnification referred to in the foregoing clause (1) are not in fact covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, then each Seller severally shall be liable for an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Seller’s Proportionate Share of such then-pending claims referred to in the foregoing clause (1) and (y) the portion of such distribution actually received by such Seller. Any amounts not released under clause (ii) above due to any such then-pending claim shall be paid to (x) Purchaser promptly upon the resolution of such claim in favor of Purchaser or (y) the Equityholders’ Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, within ten (10) Business Days after the resolution of all such then-pending claims, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) From and after the Closing, the Sellers shall have no rights of contribution or recovery against any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to any indemnification obligations hereunder.

Section 10.6 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) No party hereto shall be liable for any claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE X unless written notice of a claim for indemnification is delivered by the party

seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period set forth in Section 10.1 (in which event the claim shall survive until resolved). If any third party notifies the Indemnified Party with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification (a “Third Party Claim”) against the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE X, then the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party reasonably promptly thereof in writing; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. All notices given pursuant to this Section 10.6(a) shall describe with reasonable specificity the nature of the claim, the amount of the claim (to the extent then known) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.

(b) Following receipt of notice in accordance with Section 10.6(a) (other than a notice of a Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party, in which case Section 10.6(c) below shall apply), the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date it receives such notice (the “Dispute Period”) to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable. For purposes of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all the material information related to such claim relied upon by or in possession or control of, the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party disagrees with the validity or amount of all or a portion of such claim made by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party written notice thereof (the “Dispute Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period. If no Dispute Notice is received by the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period or the Indemnifying Party provides notice that it does not have a dispute with respect to such claim, such claim shall be deemed approved and consented to by the Indemnifying Party (such claim, an “Approved Indemnification Claim”). If a Dispute Notice is received by the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party do not agree to the validity and/or amount of such disputed claim, no payment shall be made until such disputed claim is resolved, whether by adjudication of such matter, agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or otherwise (and upon any such resolution, such claim shall be deemed to be an Approved Indemnification Claim). Subject to Section 10.4 (including, without limitation, any provision thereof that requires that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties first satisfy Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification against the R&W Insurance Policy and second satisfy the amount of such Losses that are not insured or covered by the R&W Insurance Policy against all or any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then being held in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement), each Approved Indemnification Claim shall be paid no later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the subject claim became an Approved Indemnification Claim, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the party entitled to such payment.

(c) After the Indemnified Party has given notice of a Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.6(a), the Indemnifying Party may, at its, his or her election, undertake and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party fully acknowledges in writing its indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party. In such case, the Indemnified Party may continue to participate in the defense

of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that (except to the extent otherwise provided below in this Section 10.6 with respect to disputes related to Taxes) following the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, all legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests available with respect to such legal proceeding, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party (including local counsel). With respect to Third Party Claims related to Taxes, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for making all deposits or down payments required with respect to the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or consent to judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the administration and defense of any Third Party Claim made by any customer or supplier of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries. If (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within twenty (20) days of the Indemnified Party’s delivery of notice of such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the aggregate amount reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim and all other outstanding claims on the Indemnification Escrow Account exceeds the sum of (1) the maximum amount of coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy plus (2) the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account, (iii) such Third Party Claim involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations or (iv) the Third Party Claim includes a claim for injunctive relief, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be required of each other in order to ensure proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Section 10.6. To the extent that the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party does not participate in the defense of a particular Third Party Claim, the party so proceeding with such Third Party Claim shall keep the other party informed of all material developments and events relating to such Third Party Claim. No Indemnified Party shall settle or consent to judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that the Indemnifying Party has consented to any settlement or consented to any judgment and except as otherwise provided in such settlement or judgment, such Indemnifying Party shall not have any power or authority to object to any claim by any Indemnified Person under and in accordance with this ARTICLE X, including against the Indemnification Escrow Account, if applicable, for indemnity in the amount of such settlement or judgment.

Section 10.7 Determination of Loss Amount. If an indemnifiable matter is identified and noticed prior to the end of any applicable period set forth in Section 10.1, all Losses incurred or paid in connection with such matter shall remain subject to indemnification hereunder.

Section 10.8 Tax Treatment. Any payment under this ARTICLE X or under ARTICLE VIII shall be treated by the parties for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Section 10.9 Election of Claims. In the event that any Person alleges that they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, and that Person’s claim is covered under more than one provision of this Agreement, such Person shall be entitled to elect the provision or provisions under which it may bring a claim for indemnification; provided, however, that no Person shall be entitled to receive indemnification payment in respect of any Losses if such Person has previously received indemnification payment for such Loss. The provisions of this Section 10.9 are subject to the provisions of Section 10.4, and in the event that any of the provisions of this Section 10.9 conflict or are inconsistent with or contravene the provisions of Section 10.4, the provisions of Section 10.4 shall control.

Section 10.10 Insurance Collection. If any Purchaser Indemnified Party recovers any amount from any insurer in connection with any matter in respect of which such Purchaser Indemnified Party obtained indemnification under this ARTICLE X, then such Purchaser Indemnified Party will promptly pay over to the Equityholders’ Representative for distribution to the Sellers the amount so recovered from such insurer to the extent not in excess of the amount of the indemnification obtained by such Purchaser Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE X in respect of such matter. With respect to any Losses for which any Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE X, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts, to make and pursue claims for such Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 10.11 Subrogation. Each Seller shall be subrogated to the rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against any and all third parties in respect of any matter for which such Seller is required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE X.

Section 10.12 Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Applicable Law, (b) as provided in Section 2.3, (c) for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, including pursuant to Section 12.16, or (d) in respect of claims by any Purchaser Indemnified Party against a Seller based on fraud or willful misconduct by such Seller, the indemnification provisions of Section 8.3 and this ARTICLE X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement from and after the Closing.

ARTICLE XI

(iii) to act for such Seller with respect to all indemnification matters referred to in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including the right to compromise on behalf of such Seller any indemnification claim made by or against such Seller;

(iv) to act for such Seller with respect to all post-Closing matters;

(v) to terminate, amend, or waive any provision of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in accordance with Section 12.6 and Section 12.7 hereof, as applicable (and Section 12 of the Escrow Agreement);

(vi) to employ and obtain the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as the Equityholders’ Representative, in his, her or its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of his, her or its duties as the Equityholders’ Representative and to rely on their advice and counsel;

(vii) to incur and pay out of the Initial Purchase Price and/or any subsequent payments due to such Seller (including, without limitation, out of payments due to such Seller upon release of the funds held in the Indemnification Escrow Account) (1) expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including fees of brokers, attorneys and accountants, and any other fees and expenses allocable or in any way relating to such transactions or (2) any indemnification claim made by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or by the Equityholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, whether such expenses, fees or indemnification claims are incurred prior or subsequent to Closing;

(viii) to retain a portion of the Initial Purchase Price and/or any subsequent payments due to such Seller as a reserve against the payment of expenses incurred in his capacity as Equityholders’ Representative; and

(ix) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of such Seller which the Equityholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (including amending or waiving any term or provision hereof or thereof) as fully and completely as any of such Seller could do if personally present and acting.

(b) The appointment of the Equityholders’ Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any actions of the Equityholders’ Representative as the acts of the Sellers in all matters referred to in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Each of the Sellers hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Equityholders’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of the appointment of the Equityholders’ Representative as Equityholders’ Representative of such Seller. The Equityholders’ Representative shall act for the Sellers on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in the manner the Equityholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Sellers, but the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be responsible to any such Seller for any loss or damage any such Seller may suffer by reason of the performance by the Equityholders’ Representative of his duties under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from willful misconduct in the performance of such duties. In no event shall the Equityholders’ Representative be liable hereunder or in connection herewith for any indirect, punitive, exemplary, special, incidental or consequential damages. The Equityholders’ Representative shall be fully protected against the Sellers in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that he in good faith believes to be genuine, including facsimiles or copies thereof.

(c) Each Seller hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Equityholders’ Representative is authorized to act on behalf of such Seller notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Sellers, and that any Person shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement without liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any of the Sellers. The Equityholders’ Representative may be removed from time to time by the Sellers that held at least a majority of the Equity Interests immediately prior to the Closing, and the Equityholders’ Representative may resign by giving written notice to the Sellers and the Purchaser. If the Equityholders’ Representative is so removed, dies, becomes disabled, resigns or otherwise is unable to fulfill his responsibilities as agent of the Sellers, or there is a vacancy in the position of the Equityholders’ Representative, then the Sellers that held a majority of the Equity Interests immediately prior to the Closing shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such removal, death, disability, resignation or other cause of such vacancy, appoint a successor representative reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Any successor shall become the Equityholders’ Representative for purposes of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, and each successor Equityholders’ Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Equityholders’ Representative. No bond shall be required of the Equityholders’ Representative, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services. The Sellers do hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the Equityholders’ Representative harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred or suffered as a result of the performance of such Equityholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement except for any such liability arising out of the willful misconduct of the Equityholders’ Representative. The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each of the Sellers, and any references in this Section 12.2 to a Seller shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Sellers hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise. All of the indemnities, immunities, releases and powers granted to the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

Section 12.3 Post-Closing Confidentiality. From and after the Closing Date until the fourth (4th) anniversary thereof, the Equityholders’ Representative and each of the Sellers shall, and shall cause his, her or its Affiliates to, keep confidential (except as may be disclosed to his, her or its Affiliates, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or other representatives) and not use or disclose any and all confidential information relating directly to Purchaser or the Acquired Businesses that remains in or comes into his, her or its possession after the Closing. The foregoing will not preclude the Equityholders’ Representative, the Sellers and the foregoing Persons from (a) disclosing such confidential information if compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law (subject to the following sentence), (b) discussing, disclosing or using such confidential information if the same hereafter is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.3), or (c) discussing, disclosing or using such confidential information if the same is acquired from a Person that is not, to such discussing, disclosing or using Person’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, under

an obligation to keep such information confidential. If the Equityholders’ Representative or any Seller is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal, administrative, arbitration or other formal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any such confidential information, the Equityholders’ Representative or such Seller, as applicable, shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.3. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Purchaser, the Equityholders’ Representative or any Seller is required to disclose such information, the Equityholders’ Representative or such Seller, as applicable, without liability hereunder, may disclose that portion of such information that it believes in good faith it is legally required to disclose. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 12.3, the Equityholders’ Representative and any Seller may only disclose such confidential information to those of its or his Affiliates, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) if such Representative (i) needs to know such information and (ii) is subject to obligations of confidentiality that are no less stringent than those to which the Equityholders’ Representative and the Sellers are subject to pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.3. The Equityholders’ Representative and the Sellers shall be liable to Purchaser for the breach of this Section 12.3 by any of their Representatives.

Section 12.4 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (a) one (1) Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, or (b) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or, the first Business Day following such receipt if the date of such receipt is not a Business Day) of transmission by facsimile or e-mail, in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below:

Any party to this Agreement may change the address to which notices and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties to this Agreement notice in the manner herein set forth.

Section 12.5 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses. In the event that (i) a party commences an action, suit or proceeding against any other party seeking to enforce any right that such party has to obtain indemnification from such other party pursuant to this

Agreement and/or the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the court in which such action, suit or proceeding is filed makes a determination that the party seeking to enforce such right of indemnification is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement with respect to the matter in dispute, then, subject to the provisions of, and limitations of liability set forth in, ARTICLE X if and to the extent applicable, the other party shall be entitled to recover all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) incurred by such other party in connection with the investigation, preparation and defense of such action, suit or proceeding or any of the matters or claims alleged in such action, suit or proceeding, regardless of whether such out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) were incurred by such prevailing party at any time prior to or after the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 12.6 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time by mutual written agreement of the Acquired Companies, the Sellers and Purchaser. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any amendments, modifications or supplements of any term or condition of this Agreement that expressly relates to the Equityholders’ Representative shall also require the written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative.

Section 12.7 Extension; Waiver. At any time the parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. Such extension or waiver shall not be deemed to apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any agreement or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the extension or waiver. A waiver by any party of the performance of any act will not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 12.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Ancillary Documents, the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, documents and instruments referred to herein that are to be delivered at the Closing) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 12.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 7.4, ARTICLE X and Section 12.1, this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to (a) confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (b) create any agreement of employment with any Person, or (c) otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

Section 12.10 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Purchaser may assign its rights and/or obligations hereunder to (A) any Affiliate of the Acquired Companies so long as such assignment shall not cause any Taxes to be imposed upon any Seller or (B) to any subsequent purchaser of the Acquired Companies or all or substantially all of the assets comprising the business of the Acquired Companies, in each case, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and (ii) each Seller may assign its right to receive any payment under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to a successor pursuant to any and all applicable laws of descent or distribution. No permitted assignment by Purchaser shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, and no permitted assignment by a Seller shall relieve such Seller or its estate of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 12.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to give effect to the original intent of the parties to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 12.12 Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission.

Section 12.13 Interpretation. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “included,” “includes” or “including” (or any other tense or variation of the word “include”) in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The use of the term “ordinary course of business” shall in all cases herein mean “ordinary course of business consistent in an amount and frequency with past practices.” When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, schedule or exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, schedule or exhibit of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “hereof,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this

Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. No summary of this Agreement prepared by any party shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.14 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof.

Section 12.15 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of New York for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and process. Each party hereto hereby agrees not to commence any legal proceedings relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any jurisdiction or courts other than as provided herein.

Section 12.16 Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique transactions and any failure on the part of any party to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms of this Agreement will not be fully compensable in damages and the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the other parties hereto irreparable harm. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies available to the parties hereto for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled to seek, without the posting of a bond, specific performance of this Agreement and seek an injunction restraining any such party from such breach or threatened breach.

Section 12.17 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PURCHASER, THE EQUITYHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE, THE SELLERS AND THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PURCHASER, THE EQUITYHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE, THE SELLERS OR THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 12.18 Disclosures.

(b) By way of example and not limitation, (i) the disclosure of any facts or circumstances does not have the effect of disclosing any undisclosed effects that are not the natural and probable consequence thereof; (ii) the disclosure of one or more claims arising out of similar facts or circumstances does not have the effect of disclosing other claims arising out of such facts or circumstances, (iii) the disclosure of an identified litigation matter does not have the effect of disclosing claims, facts or requested relief additional to or different than the claims or facts plead or relief requested in the complaints or pleadings relating to such litigation, (iv) the disclosure of wrongdoing or alleged wrongdoing by one or more Persons does not have the effect of disclosing similar wrongdoing by other Persons (whether pursuant to the same or different transactions, at the same or different sites, or otherwise) and (v) the disclosure of the failure of an Acquired Company Plan to comply with Applicable Laws in one or more respects does not have the effect of disclosing other failures of such Acquired Company Plan to comply with Applicable Laws.
