Section 2.02 Payment of the Purchase Price.

(a) At Closing, the Purchase Price is being paid by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds to such account(s), and pursuant to such wire instructions, as are designated by the applicable payee(s) to Buyers in writing as set forth in Section 2.02(b).

(b) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall have delivered or caused to be delivered a payment instruction notice, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyers and duly executed on behalf of Sellers, containing appropriate wire transfer instructions.

(a) KNAC INC shall compensate US Buyer, on a USD-for-USD basis, for (a) the cash disbursements funded by KNAC INC in relation to the Excluded Assets and/or Excluded Liabilities (“Disbursements”), less (b) the cash, or cash equivalents, received by KNAC INC in relation to the Excluded Assets and/or Excluded Liabilities (“Cash Receipts”, and the difference between Disbursements and Cash Receipts, “Net Disbursements”), during the period between the Balance Sheet Date and the Closing Date (the “Reconciliation Period”).

(b) US Buyer shall indemnify and hold KNAC INC harmless from the Tax effect of running the US Business during the Reconciliation Period (the “Reconciliation Tax”). The Reconciliation Tax shall be calculated as if the US Business was a separate Taxable unit.

(c) Disbursements, Deposits and Reconciliation Tax shall be accounted for in accordance with IFRS as applied by the accounting manuals of the Kværner group.

(d) Two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, KNAC INC shall provide to US Buyer a statement of estimated Net Disbursements made during the Reconciliation Period less the estimated Reconciliation Tax (the “Estimated Reconciliation Payment”). If, pursuant to such statement:

(i) The Estimated Reconciliation Payment is a positive amount, such amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price payable by the Buyers to the Sellers at Closing; and

(ii) the Estimated Reconciliation Payment is a negative amount, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price payable by the Buyers to the Sellers at Closing.

(e) No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, KNAC INC shall provide to Buyers (A) a statement of actual Net Disbursements made during the Reconciliation Period and actual Reconciliation Tax (the “Actual Reconciliation Payment”) (the “Reconciliation Statement”) and (B) copies of the last filed tax returns of KNAC INC for a tax period ending prior to the Balance Sheet Date for each of the types of taxes for which US Buyer is indemnifying KNAC INC as well as so much substantiated information about the operations of the US Business from the Balance Sheet Date until the Effective Time that a tax professional knowledgeable about the tax laws applicable to KNAC INC and the US Business could make reasonable conclusions as to the accuracy of KNAC INC’s calculation of the tax liability of US Buyer for such period. Buyers shall notify Sellers in writing if they object to any portion of the Reconciliation Statement within fifteen (15) days after the statement is delivered to Buyers. If KNAC INC does not receive a written objection (specifying the nature of such objection) by the end of such 15-day period, such Reconciliation Statement shall be deemed final and binding as between the Parties. If Buyers notify KNAC INC that they object to any portion of the Reconciliation Statement (specifying the nature of such objection) on or before the end of such 15-day period, Buyers and KNAC INC shall attempt to mutually resolve any disagreements in good faith regarding such Reconciliation Statement. Any disagreements regarding the Reconciliation Statement that are not resolved within an additional 5-day period by Buyers and

KNAC INC shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant, whose decision shall be final and whose fees shall be shared equally by KNAC INC and Buyers.

(f) To the extent the Actual Reconciliation Payment (as calculated in the final and binding Reconciliation Statement) exceeds the Estimated Reconciliation Payment, the balance shall be payable by KNAC INC to the Buyers, and to the extent the Actual Reconciliation Payment (as calculated in the final and binding Reconciliation Statement) falls short of the Estimated Reconciliation Payment, the balance shall be payable by the Buyers to KNAC INC. Any amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) falls due and payable 5 Business Days following the date on which the Reconciliation Statement was finally determined in accordance with the above.

Subject to the foregoing, Buyers shall have thirty (30) days from the Closing Date to deliver to Sellers for Sellers’ review and approval a final Purchase Price allocation to the Purchased Assets (excluding the Purchased Shares), including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, Asset Acquisition Statements Under Section 1060 consistent with Schedule 2.04, which the Parties shall use to report the relevant parts of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any Tax authority. If Buyers and Sellers agree to the final allocation of the Purchase Price, which they shall use reasonable commercial efforts to do, Buyers and Sellers shall report, act and file Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation. Buyers agree to provide reasonable assistance to Sellers for the purposes of Sellers’ preparation and filing of Tax Returns or otherwise for the purposes of reporting the relevant parts of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any Tax authority for a period of two years after the Closing Date. Neither Buyers nor Sellers shall take any position (whether in audit, Tax Returns or otherwise) which is inconsistent with any agreed allocation unless required to do so by applicable law; provided, however, that (a) nothing contained herein shall require Buyers or Sellers to contest any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax authority which challenges such allocation, or exhaust administrative remedies before any Tax authority in connection therewith, and (b) Buyers and Sellers shall not be required to litigate before any Governmental Authority (including without limitation the United States Tax Court) any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax authority which challenges such allocation. Buyers and Sellers shall give prompt written notice to the other of the commencement of any Tax audit or proceeding or the written assertion of any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax authority which challenges any agreed allocation, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith in responding to it in order to preserve the effectiveness of such allocation.

(a) To the extent that there are certain Assumed Contracts, Assumed Leases and/or Assumed Assets relating to the US Business, which are not assignable or otherwise transferable without the approval, authorization, waiver, consent or release of Persons other than Sellers or their respective Affiliates, and such approvals, authorizations, waivers, consents or releases are not obtained by the Closing Date, this Agreement and the Closing shall not constitute an assignment or agreement to assign or transfer such assets without such approval, authorization, waiver, consent or release. If and when any such approval, authorization, waiver, consent or release shall be obtained, as between the Parties, such Assumed Contract, Assumed Lease or other Purchased Asset shall be deemed to have been assigned or otherwise transferred as of the Effective Time without any adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(b) KNAC INC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain in a timely manner all approvals, authorizations, waivers, consents and releases of third parties necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are not obtained prior to the Closing, including all third-party consents required to be obtained pursuant to any Assumed Contract or Assumed Lease in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in order to continue the full validity and effectiveness of any such Assumed Contract or Assumed Lease following the Closing.

Sellers shall be provided not less than 48 hours prior notice of such activities, and the Sellers’ representatives shall have the right to witness any such inspections and assessments. The Buyer Parties shall (and shall cause their representatives to) keep any data or information acquired by any such examinations and the results of any analyses of such data and information confidential and will not (and will cause their representatives not to) disclose any such data, information or results to any Person (other than Sellers) unless otherwise required by Law or regulation and then only after written notice to Sellers of the determination of the need for disclosure.

(d) Except as required by Law or regulation, the Buyer Parties and their representatives will not use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.11 for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Moreover, US Buyer agrees to provide to KNAC INC any and all services which may be reasonably required in respect of KNAC INC’s accounting needs for the period after Closing. Except for the reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses and except to the extent that any Employee shall be required to devote more than 100 hours in any calendar year to the Longview Arbitration, US Buyer shall not be entitled to any compensation for the performance of the services as set out in this Section 6.12. In the event any Employee may be required to devote more than 100 hours in any calendar year, or in the event any Employee is needed beyond two (2) years after the Effective Date, to the Longview Arbitration, US Buyer may invoice Sellers at an hourly rate of $150 per Employee. Sellers shall pay any such invoice within 30 days of receipt. The obligations of US Buyer shall remain valid and not expire until KNAC INC has given US Buyer notice that the Longview Arbitration is concluded with final effect and that US Buyer’s obligations under this Section 6.12 therefor shall have expired.

Section 6.13 Access to Premises. Until May 15, 2014, US Buyer agrees with the Sellers that certain personnel of KNAC INC as listed in Schedule 6.13 shall be permitted to retain designated office spaces, a conference room, document storage area and two visitor cubes in the premises leased by KNAC INC in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania for use related to the Longview Arbitration and the Buyers shall not be entitled to any compensation therefore.

Section 6.14 Access to Personnel. For the purposes of managing and completing tasks related to the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities and to ensure that necessary information

and assistance is provided in connection therewith, KNAC INC shall have reasonable access to appropriate Employees for a temporary period or periods after Closing, such access not to impose an unreasonable burden to such Employees. US Buyer may invoice Sellers at an hourly rate of (i) $75 for Employees with a base salary equal to or under $100 000, (ii) $100 for Employees with a base salary between $100 000 and $175 000 and (iii) $150 for Employees with a base salary over $175 000 per Employee for time so devoted.

In case of capacity shortage, US Buyer shall prioritize KNAC INC and its other business on a pro-rata and non-discriminatory basis. In consideration for providing services as set out above, KNAC INC shall pay to US Buyer a consideration which represents US Buyer’s actual cost plus 20% xxxx-up.

Section 6.16 KNAC INC Employee Matters.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, US Buyer shall make offers of employment to substantially all KNAC INC Employees. The terms of US Buyer’s offers of employment to each KNAC INC Employee pursuant to this Section 6.16(a) shall be on terms and conditions, including as to salary, benefits and credit for length of service, which are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those that such Employee currently enjoys. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.17, nothing in this Section 6.16 or otherwise in this Agreement shall obligate US Buyer to continue any term or condition of employment or any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement for any period of time or to employ any Employee for any period of time. KNAC INC will, upon reasonable request from US Buyer, provide to US Buyer all information regarding each Employee as may be necessary for US Buyer to satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.16.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, US Buyer shall be responsible for any and all liabilities under the WARN Act (or any similar Law) resulting from Buyer’s failure to hire all of the KNAC INC Employees on the Closing Date or US Buyer’s termination of such Employees following the Closing Date. Sellers agree to retain any and all obligations with respect to liabilities under the WARN Act (or any similar state or local Law) arising prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller agrees that, effective as of the Closing Date, Seller will continue to provide coverage (under the same terms and conditions as to benefits and eligibility as applied prior to the Closing Date) for any former KNAC INC Employee hired by US Buyer, as coverage of a former employee other than through COBRA, under all KNAC INC Employee Benefit Plans providing health and welfare benefits (including, but not limited to, benefits under any cafeteria plan, within the meaning of Code section 125, associated with such KNAC INC Employee Benefit Plans providing health and welfare benefits) (the “Transition Benefits”) for a transition period to end at the close of business on June 30, 2014 (the “Transition Period”). During the Transition Period, Seller

agrees to be solely responsible for administration of the Transition Benefits, including, but not limited to, compliance with Laws with respect to the Transition Benefits. During the Transition Period, Seller agrees not to amend, modify or terminate the Transition Benefits, without the prior written consent of US Buyer, which may not be unreasonably withheld by US Buyer. During the Transition Period, the Parties agree to cooperate with respect to the Transition Benefits.

US Buyer will reimburse KNAC INC for the cost of Transition Benefits provided during the Transition Period to KNAC INC employees hired by US Buyer (excluding the cost of such Transition Benefits paid by KNAC INC employees hired by US Buyer). At the end of the Transition Period, US Buyer will provide health and welfare benefits to KNAC INC employees employed by US Buyer. KNAC INC will be responsible for providing COBRA continuation coverage as required by law to KNAC INC employees hired by Buyer, and will consider a COBRA qualifying event as occurring on the last day of the Transition Period with respect to KNAC INC employees hired by US Buyer and employed by US Buyer on such date.

US Buyer will offer participation in its 401(k) plan to KNAC INC employees hired by US Buyer effective as of the Closing Date, and will credit the service of such employees with KNAC INC for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the US Buyer 401(k) plan.

(d) This Section 6.16 is solely for the purpose of defining the obligations between US Buyer and KNAC INC concerning KNAC INC’s employees, and will in no way (i) be construed as creating any employment contract or right to employment for any specified time, (ii) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of KNAC INC, its respective Affiliates or any other Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, or (iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by KNAC INC, US Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 6.17 Withdrawal Liability.

(a) KNAC INC shall retain liability for, and shall pay when due, any contributions required to be made by KNAC INC with respect to the Multiemployer Pension Plans under the US CBAs with respect to the period preceding the Closing Date.

(b) With respect to each Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan identified on Schedule 4.16(t)(ii), KNAC INC and US Buyer agree as follows: (i) from and after the Closing Date, US Buyer shall continue making contributions to the Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan for substantially the same number of contribution base units for which KNAC INC has an obligation to contribute to the Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plans under the applicable collective bargaining agreements obligating KNAC INC to make contributions to the Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plans; (ii) unless exempt under Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Regulations Section 4204.11 or Section 4204.21 or otherwise waived by the Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan, US Buyer shall provide a bond, letter of credit, or escrow in favor of the Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan for a period of five (5) plan years (the “4204 Term”) commencing with the first plan year beginning after the Closing Date in an amount and form that satisfies the requirements of Section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA; (iii) in the event that US Buyer withdraws in a complete or partial withdrawal under Section 4201 of ERISA from any of

the Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plans during the 4204 Term, and US Buyer fails to make any withdrawal liability payments when due, KNAC INC shall be secondarily liable for any withdrawal liability that KNAC INC would have had to the applicable Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan but for the provisions of this Section 6.17(b) and Section 4204 of ERISA; and (iv) in the event that all or substantially all of KNAC INC’s assets are distributed, or if KNAC INC is liquidated during the 4204 Term, then KNAC INC shall provide a bond or amount in escrow equal to the present value of the withdrawal liability that KNAC INC would have had but for the provisions of this Section 6.17(b) and Section 4204 of ERISA.

(c) Seller will indemnify US Buyer for the cost and expense of any bond, letter of credit or escrow US Buyer is required to provide under Section 6.17(b). KNAC INC agrees to cooperate with US Buyer in connection with any application for a variance or exemption for any bonding, letter of credit, or escrow requirement made by US Buyer to the PBGC and/or to the Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan. From and after the Closing Date, until final determination, KNAC INC authorizes US Buyer to initiate arbitration, litigation or to do any other act which US Buyer deems, in its discretion, appropriate in order to reduce or eliminate any withdrawal liability or any bonding, letter of credit, or escrow requirement imposed by the Non-CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan which US Buyer is required to satisfy under the terms of this Section 6.17. KNAC INC agrees to reasonably assist US Buyer, in any proceedings commenced in accordance with this Section 6.17(c).

(d) With respect to the CIE Multiemployer Pension Plans, Sellers on behalf of themselves agree they will not, and on behalf of each ERISA Affiliate of Sellers, now or in the future existing, Sellers will cause each such ERISA Affiliate to not, (i) continue to perform work within the jurisdiction of the CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan for which contributions were required under a relevant US CBA or (ii) within the five-year period following the Closing Date, to resume such work without renewing the obligation to make contributions to such CIE Multiemployer Pension Plan.

If no such objection is received by the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Notice of Claim, the claim shall be deemed to be allowed and the Indemnifying Party shall pay such Claim within five (5) Business Days after expiration of such ten-day period.

(b) If an Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification because of a claim asserted by any claimant other than an Indemnified Party, including for the avoidance of doubt any Tax Authority, (a “Third Party”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made or alleged by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall not be adversely affected by a

failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the defense of such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party or any business thereof, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result, (iii) the Third Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to solely seek) monetary damages, and (iv) no conflict of interest arises that, under applicable principles of legal ethics would prohibit a single counsel from representing both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Party Claim with its own counsel at its own expense; provided, however, that if (A) any of the conditions described in clauses (i)-(iv) above fails to occur or ceases to be satisfied, or (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, is prevented by the above clauses from doing so, or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of such election within a reasonable period of time based on the particular circumstances of the Third Party Claim (which in any event, shall not exceed ten (10) days), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in such manner as it may deem reasonably appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim that (1) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (2) grants any injunctive or equitable relief or (3) may reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party or any business thereof. The Indemnified Party has the right to settle any Third Party Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party or which is otherwise being defended by the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.04(b), without any prior notice to or consent from the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. Each of the Parties shall make available to the other(s) all relevant information in his or its possession relating to any such Third Party Claim which is being defended by the other Party and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in the defense thereof.

Section 9.05 Payment. A claim for indemnification under this Article IX shall be deemed finally determined upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) it is deemed allowed under Section 9.04(a); (b) entry of any final judgment or award rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom; (c) full execution of a settlement of a Third Party Claim; (d) the Indemnified Party becoming obligated to pay any claim; or (e) the execution by the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party of a mutually binding agreement with respect to a claim. The Indemnifying

Party shall be required to pay all of the sums so owing in respect of such finally determined claim to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days after such final determination; provided, however, that, if Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, then Buyers shall first recover any indemnification payment or other amounts (or any portion thereof) then due and unpaid from any Seller, on a joint and several basis, by retaining and setting off such amounts (or any portions thereof) against any amounts due or to become due from Buyers to any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and second, as Buyers may elect at their option (including on a joint and several basis directly from any Seller).

Section 9.06 Limitations on Indemnification. Sellers shall not be required to provide indemnification for claims made solely under Section 9.02(b) in respect of any claim arising under Section 9.02(b) unless and until the aggregate of all claims arising under Section 9.02(b) for which the Sellers are liable exceeds $486,000 (the “Deductible”), but once the aggregate amount of all such claims has exceeded such sum, the Sellers shall only be liable in respect of the amount by which the Deductible is exceeded. Sellers’ aggregate liability with respect to all claims of indemnification arising under Section 9.02(b) shall not exceed $14,580,000, except that the Parties acknowledge and agree that any claim arising out of, resulting from or relating to any inaccuracy in, misrepresentation of, or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.22 (d), (e), (g), (h) (l) and (o) and 4.24 shall not be subject to such $14,580,000 limitation. The aggregate liability of Sellers pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall not exceed the entire Purchase Price.

(b) The Buyers (including the Buyer Indemnified Parties) shall not be entitled to claim that any fact, matter or circumstance causes any of the Sellers’ representations and warranties in ARTICLE IV to the extent such fact, matter or circumstance was known to the Buyers at the date of signing of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 9.06(b), references to the Buyers’ knowledge shall be defined on Schedule 9.06(b).

(c) No Party shall be liable to or otherwise responsible to any Person under this Agreement, and the term “Losses” shall not include, lost profits, consequential, indirect or punitive or similar damages, unless lost profits, consequential, indirect or punitive or similar damages are awarded to a Third Party pursuant to a Third Party Claim, or any losses arising as a result of any Person being listed on a stock exchange or other regulated market. The limitations on liabilities provided in this Section 9.06 in respect of inaccurate representations and warranties are intended to apply to all claims made in respect thereof, whether under this Agreement or common law. In the absence of fraud, following the Closing, neither Buyers nor any Seller shall have any liability to the other for any matters existing or arising prior to the Closing Date, except as provided in this ARTICLE IX, which shall constitute the sole remedy of the Parties for any breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.07 No claim shall lie against the Sellers under the representations and warranties given in ARTICLE IV to the extent that within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of notification thereof under Section 9.04 the matter giving rise to such claim is remedied to the satisfaction of the Buyers without any cost to the Buyers.

Section 9.08 The Buyers (including the Buyer Indemnified Parties) shall not have any right to indemnification for any Losses:

(a) to the extent the claim has been made good or otherwise compensated for without cost to the Buyers (including for the avoidance of doubt pursuant to Section 2.03) and accordingly the Buyers may only recover once in respect of the same Loss;

(b) to the extent such Losses would not have arisen or been increased but for any change in law after the date of this Agreement;

(c) to the extent that any allowance, provision or reserve in respect of a matter has been made or taken into account in the Baseline Balance Sheet; or

(d) that represent the cost of repairs, replacements or improvements which enhance the value of the repaired, replaced or improved asset above its value on the Closing Date.

The provisions of this ARTICLE IX shall not apply to any action for specific performance to enforce any violations of Sellers’ covenants set forth in Section 6.09 hereof.

Section 9.09 Reductions for Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries. The amount of any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is finally determined to be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE IX shall be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds received by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses, (ii) any Tax benefits realized by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses and (iii) indemnification or reimbursement payments received by any Indemnified Party from third parties with respect to such Losses. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts to which they may be entitled under insurance policies with respect to such Losses.

Section 9.10 Each Buyer Party agrees and undertakes that it has no rights against and shall not make any claim against any employee, director, agent, officer or adviser of the Sellers or an Affiliate of a Seller on whom it may have relied before agreeing to or entering into this Agreement.

Section 9.11 BUYERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (I) THEY HAVE MADE THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION, INVESTIGATION, ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF THE BUSINESS, OPERATIONS, ASSETS, LIABILITIES, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, TECHNOLOGY AND PROSPECTS OF THE SELLERS AND KNAC LTD, (II) THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED ACCESS TO PERSONNEL, PROPERTIES, PREMISES AND RECORDS OF THE SELLERS FOR SUCH PURPOSE AND HAVE RECEIVED AND REVIEWED SUCH INFORMATION AND HAVE HAD A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF AND RECEIVE ANSWERS RELATING TO SUCH MATTERS AS THEY DEEMED NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, (III) THEY HAVE SUCH KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS MATTERS THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF EVALUATING THE MERITS AND RISKS OF THE SELLERS AND AN INVESTMENT IN THE PURCHASED ASSETS AND (IV) THE SELLERS HAVE DELIVERED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO THE BUYERS

OR THEIR ADVISORS ALL INFORMATION WHICH THE BUYERS OR THEIR ADVISORS HAVE REQUESTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. BUYERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN INDUCED BY AND HAVE NOT RELIED UPON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, MADE BY ANY SELLER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EQUITY HOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, CONTROLLING PERSONS, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES THAT ARE NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR STATEMENTS WERE MADE IN WRITING OR ORALLY. BUYERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTION 4.05 AND THE OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLERS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV, (A) THEY ARE ACQUIRING THE PURCHASED ASSETS “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” AND (B) SELLERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION, VALUE OR QUALITY OF THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR THE PROSPECTS (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE), RISKS AND OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SELLERS, THE BUSINESS, THE ASSUMED CONTRACTS, ASSUMED LIABILITIES OR THE PURCHASED ASSETS.

Section 9.12 Bank Guarantee.

(a) As security for any claim under this Agreement, the Sellers shall provide a bank guarantee in the amount of $14,580,000 (the “Sellers’ Bank Guarantee”) substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A hereto.

(b) If the Buyers have made a claim under the terms of this Agreement against a Seller and (i) such Seller does not dispute such claim in accordance with the relevant provision of this Agreement or (ii) a disputed claim for indemnification is finally determined as set forth in Section 9.05, the Buyers and the Sellers shall, within five (5) Business Days following the expiry of the period during which the Sellers may dispute such claim, or within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of such claim, jointly instruct the guarantor under the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee to pay the amount of such claim (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest included within such claim) to the Buyers.

(c) Except as set forth in the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee, on the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing, the guaranteed amount under the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee shall be reduced to $9,720,000. Except as set forth in the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee, on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing, the guaranteed amount under the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee shall be reduced to $4,860,000.

(d) If, and to the extent that, at 5.00 p.m. on the 18 month anniversary of Closing (the “Guarantee Period”), any claims (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest included within such claims) shall have been made by the Buyers and remain outstanding against the Sellers (“Unsatisfied Claims”), the Buyers and the Sellers shall jointly instruct the guarantor under the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee to immediately release the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee less the

amount agreed by the Buyers and the Sellers as being a reasonably sufficient amount to be retained to cover any potential payments to be made in respect of all Unsatisfied Claims, provided, however, that no amount may remain unreleased if legal proceedings in respect of such Unsatisfied Claims have not been initiated within twelve (12) months following the expiry of the Guarantee Period. If, at any time after twelve (12) months following the expiry of the Guarantee Period, no court proceedings are pending with respect to any Unsatisfied Claim the Buyers and the Sellers shall jointly instruct the relevant guarantor to release any Sellers’ Bank Guarantees in the amount of such Unsatisfied Claim. Upon the satisfaction, settlement or withdrawal of any Unsatisfied Claims or, if failing such satisfaction, settlement or withdrawal, upon the resolution by the courts of all issues referred to them for resolution in respect of any Unsatisfied Claims following the payment to the Buyers (under the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee or otherwise) of amounts that the Parties shall have agreed upon or the courts have determined the Buyers is entitled, the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee shall be released.

(e) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.06 and the terms of Sellers’ Bank Guarantee, until all funds available pursuant to the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee have been exhausted, Buyers must assert any claims for indemnification under this ARTICLE IX under the Sellers’ Bank Guarantee in accordance with its terms (for the avoidance of doubt such that Buyers cannot assert any claims for indemnification under Article X (Sellers' Guarantor) before all funds available pursuant to the Sellers' Bank Guarantee have been exhausted).

ARTICLE X

SELLERS’ GUARANTOR

Section 10.01 In consideration of the Buyers agreeing to purchase the Business from the Sellers on the terms set out in this Agreement, the Sellers’ Guarantor hereby irrevocably guarantees to the Buyers the due and punctual payment by the Sellers of any monies payable to the Buyers or a Buyer Indemnified Person under this Agreement. This guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection. The Sellers’ Guarantor hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of non-payment, protest and notice of protest and dishonor, and also notice of acceptance of this guaranty, acceptance on the part of the Buyers being conclusively presumed by the Sellers’ Guarantor. Except as set forth in Section 9.12(e), the Sellers’ Guarantor waives any right to require the Buyers to (i) proceed or enforce its rights against either Seller, or (ii) pursue any other right or remedy available to the Buyers.

Section 10.02 The Sellers’ Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Buyers as follows as of the date of the signing of this Agreement:

(a) Organization. The Sellers’ Guarantor is a public limited liability company duly incorporated, validly existing under the laws of Norway.

(b) Authorization. The Sellers’ Guarantor has all requisite corporate power and authority (i) to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and (ii) to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Sellers’ Guarantor.

This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Sellers’ Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) Non-Contravention. Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement by Sellers’ Guarantor, nor the consummation by Sellers’ Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) conflict with or violate any Law of the place of incorporation of Sellers' Guarantor or any provision of the articles of incorporation of Sellers’ Guarantor, or (ii) require the consent, authorization or approval of, or notice to, or filing or registration with, any Person in the place of incorporation of Sellers' Guarantor.

(d) Solvency. None of the following events have occurred in relation to Sellers’ Guarantor:

(i) a receiver, manager, liquidator, administrator or trustee has been appointed in respect of Sellers’ Guarantor or any of its assets or anyone else is appointed who (whether or not as agent for Sellers’ Guarantor) is in possession, or has control, of any of Sellers’ Guarantor’s assets for the purpose of enforcing an Encumbrance;

(ii) an application has been made to court or a resolution has been passed or an order has been made for the winding up or dissolution of Sellers’ Guarantor;

(iii) Sellers’ Guarantor has proposed or has taken any steps to implement a scheme of arrangement or other compromise or arrangement with its creditors or any class of them; or

(iv) Sellers’ Guarantor has stopped paying its debts when they become due or has declared or taken under any applicable law to be insolvent or Sellers’ Guarantor’s board of directors has resolved that it is, or is likely to become at some future time, insolvent.

Section 10.03 For the avoidance of doubt, the liabilities and obligations of the Sellers' Guarantor to the Buyers shall not exceed the liabilities and obligations of the Sellers to the Buyers under this Agreement (including Section 9.06,) and the Sellers' Guarantor shall be entitled to invoke the same rights, remedies and defences that the Sellers (or either of them) would be entitled to under the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.11 Disclosure Schedules.
