1.05 Consents to Assignment.

(a) Each Buyer acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to Contracts to which Sellers are a party (including certain of the Contracts set forth on Schedule 1.01(e)) and such consents have

not been obtained. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any such Contract or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof without the consent of a third party would constitute a breach or default thereof or give rise to a right of termination or cancellation thereunder. Each Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Sellers shall not have any liability whatsoever to such Buyer (and such Buyer shall not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any such Contract as a result thereof. Each Buyer further agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached and no condition of such Buyer shall be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination or any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or any such default, acceleration or termination.

(b) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date to obtain consents necessary to assign or transfer any of the Assumed Contracts. If such consent is obtained by Sellers, Sellers shall promptly assign such Assumed Contract to Buyers and Buyers shall assume all liabilities relating thereto pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement. If such consent is not obtained, Sellers and Buyers will cooperate with each other, in all commercially reasonable respects, to design an arrangement pursuant to which Buyers will receive all rights and benefits from such third party, and assume all of the obligations relating to such Assumed Contract, including, if requested by Buyers, acting as an agent on behalf of Buyers, at Buyers’ expense. Any costs and obligations incurred by Sellers to provide rights and benefits under such interim arrangement (other than internal overhead costs) shall be satisfied, discharged or reimbursed by Buyers, as and when due. Sellers shall not be required to make any material change to their respective businesses, expend any material funds that will not be reimbursed or incur any other material burden, liability or loss in order to comply with their obligations set forth in this Section 1.05. Buyers are assuming the full risk that Sellers and Buyers will be unable to establish a commercially reasonable arrangement between Buyers and any third party whose consent to assign any Assumed Contract has not been obtained.

1.06 Purchase Price. Buyers agree to pay to Sellers Thirty Two Million Three Hundred One Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Dollars ($32,301,960.00), minus (a) the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness (if any) of the Purchased Subsidiaries or which are Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing (which shall not include any Indebtedness paid at Closing or any Indebtedness incurred by Buyers in connection with the Closing) (the “Closing Indebtedness”) plus (b) the Net Intercompany Receivables (as hereinafter defined) (the “Purchase Price”). “Net Intercompany Receivables” means, subject to the following sentence, an amount (whether positive or negative) equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all receivables of the Retained Businesses from the Businesses, including all such receivables of Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries) from any of the Purchased Subsidiaries, as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, all of which shall be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.09 below, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all receivables of the Businesses from the Retained Businesses including all such receivables of any of the Purchased Subsidiaries from

Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries), as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, all of which shall be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.09 below. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Net Intercompany Receivables shall not include (x) that certain receivable from the Sellers to U.K. Engineered Films in the amount of approximately $4,174,000, which amount shall be paid by Sellers to U.K. Engineered Films at or prior to Closing, (y) any receivables of Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries from any of the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to items listed on Schedule 1.02(o), or (z) any receivables of the Purchased Subsidiaries with respect to POS PRO or the digital imaging business except to the extent payments with respect to such receivables were included in the forecasts previously delivered to Exopack by Sellers.

1.07 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) At or prior to the Closing, Exopack and ITIPH shall agree upon an estimate of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”). Buyers agree to pay Sellers at the Closing the Estimated Purchase Price in the manner set forth in Section 2.02 below.

(b) Not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Exopack shall or shall cause Buyers to prepare and present to the Sellers a certificate setting forth the Closing Indebtedness, Net Intercompany Receivables and the resulting Purchase Price calculated with references to such amounts (in its final and binding form, the “Purchase Price Calculation”). During the thirty (30)-day period immediately following Sellers’ receipt of the Purchase Price Calculation, Sellers shall be permitted to review the Businesses’ books and record and Buyers’ working papers related to the preparation of the Purchase Price Calculation and determination of the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price Calculation shall become final and binding upon the Parties thirty (30) days following Sellers’ receipt thereof unless Sellers give written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Exopack prior to such date. If a timely Notice of Disagreement is received by Exopack, then the Purchase Price Calculation (as revised in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) below) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earliest of (i) the date the Parties resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (ii) the date all matters in dispute are finally resolved in writing by a valuation firm mutually determined by ITIPH and Exopack (the “Valuation Firm”). During the twenty (20) days following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, ITIPH, on behalf of the Sellers, and Exopack shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of the twenty (20)-day period referred to above, the Parties shall submit to the Valuation Firm for review and resolution of all matters (but only such matters) that remain in dispute and that were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement. ITIPH and Exopack shall instruct the Valuation Firm to make a final determination of Closing Indebtedness, Net Intercompany Receivables and the resulting Purchase Price calculated with reference to such amounts to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The Parties will cooperate with the Valuation Firm during the term of its engagement. ITIPH and Exopack shall instruct the Valuation Firm not to assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Exopack, on the one hand, or ITIPH, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Exopack, on the one hand, or ITIPH, on the other hand. ITIPH and Exopack

shall also instruct the Valuation Firm to make its determination based solely on presentations by Exopack and Sellers which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The Purchase Price Calculation and the determination of Closing Indebtedness, Net Intercompany Receivables and the resulting Purchase Price calculated with reference thereto shall become final and binding on the Parties on the date the Valuation Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the Parties (which final resolution shall be requested by ITIPH and Exopack to be delivered not more than forty-five (45) days following submission of such disputed matters). The fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm shall be allocated to the Parties as determined (as set forth in the final determination) by the Valuation Firm based upon the relative success (in terms of percentages) of each Party’s claims. For example, if the final determination reflects a 60-40 compromise of the Parties’ claims, the Valuation Firm would allocated expenses 40% to the Party whose claims were determined to be 60% successful and 60% to the Party whose claims were determined to be 40% successful.

(c) Promptly after the Purchase Price Calculation and the determination of Closing Indebtedness, Net Intercompany Receivables and the resulting Purchase Price calculated with reference to such amounts become final and binding on the Parties under Section 1.07(b) above, the Estimated Purchase Price shall be recalculated by giving effect to the final and binding Closing Indebtedness and Net Intercompany Receivables (as recalculated, the “Final Purchase Price”). If the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall, and if the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, Buyers shall and Exopack shall or shall cause Buyers to, within five (5) business days after the Purchase Price Calculation becomes final and binding on the parties, make payment by wire transfer to Exopack on behalf of Buyers or the Sellers, as the case may be, in immediately available funds of the amount of such difference.

1.08 Allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities. The allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities (as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.07) among the Acquired Assets shall be made pursuant to Code Section 1060, shall be as mutually agreed to by the Parties within 90 days following the Closing Date and shall be used by the Parties in preparing Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement) for each of Buyers and Sellers and all Tax Returns of Buyers and Sellers. Buyers and Sellers shall each file Form 8594, prepared in accordance with this Section 1.08, with their respective federal Income Tax Return for the tax period in which the Closing occurs. The Parties agree that all allocations made pursuant to this Section 1.08 are binding upon them and upon each of their successors and assigns, and that they shall report the transaction herein in accordance with such allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that $12,500,000.00 shall be allocated to the stock of U.K. EF Holdco.

1.09 Cancellation of Certain Receivables and Payables. Effective as of the Closing, all receivables of the Businesses from the Retained Businesses, all receivables of the Purchased Subsidiaries from Sellers and their Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries), all receivables of the Retained Businesses from the Businesses, and all receivables of Sellers and their Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries) from the Purchased Subsidiaries, shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to reflect such cancellation at Closing as set forth in Section 1.06 and Section 1.07 above. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) the Sellers shall take such actions as may be necessary to effect the

cancellation of all receivables of the Retained Businesses or Sellers and their Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries) from the Businesses or the Purchased Subsidiaries and, at the request of Exopack, shall provide reasonable evidence of the cancellation of such receivables and (b) Exopack shall or shall cause Buyers to take such actions as may be necessary to effect the cancellation of all receivables of the Businesses or the Purchased Subsidiaries from the Retained Businesses or Sellers and their Subsidiaries (other than the Purchased Subsidiaries), and, at the request of either Seller, shall provide reasonable evidence of the cancellation of such receivables. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 1.09 shall not apply to that certain receivable from the Sellers to U.K. Engineered Films in the amount of approximately $4,174,000, which amount shall be paid by Sellers to U.K. Engineered Films at or prior to Closing.

For twelve (12) months following the Closing (or such shorter period of time that any Transferred Employee remains an employee of the Business), Buyers shall, or shall cause the Businesses to, (i) provide to each employee identified on Schedule 5.05(b) (each, a “Transferred Employee”) base salary or wages at least equal to those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall represent a guarantee of continued employment after Closing; and (ii) provide Transferred Employees generally, with employee benefits (other than equity-based benefits) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to either those benefits provided to Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing or, the employee benefits provided by Buyers to similarly situated employees of Buyers, as determined by Buyers. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Sellers shall be responsible for payment of all base salary and hourly wages and other compensation earned and accrued for Transferred Employees for the period of time up through the Closing and Buyers shall be responsible for any bonuses for such Transferred Employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyers shall, or shall cause the Businesses to, honor, in accordance with their terms, all rights to vacation, personal and sick days accrued (and unpaid) by Transferred Employees under any plans in effect immediately prior to Closing. Also without limiting the foregoing, Buyers shall, or shall cause the Businesses to, take the following actions with respect to the Transferred Employees under any employee plans other than a Plan for which such employee may become eligible after Closing and in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs: (x) waive any limitations regarding pre-existing conditions and eligibility waiting periods under any welfare or other employee benefit plan maintained by any of them on and after the Closing and in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs to the extent such pre-existing condition or waiting period did not apply to the employee under a comparable plan of Sellers immediately prior to the Closing; (y) provide each Transferred Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under such welfare plans or other employee benefit plans; and (z) for all purposes (other than for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) under all compensation and benefit plans and

policies applicable to the Transferred Employees (other than any equity-based plan, and except as otherwise provided in any employment agreement), treat all service by the Transferred Employees with Sellers before the Closing as service with Exopack, Buyers and any of their Subsidiaries to the same extent such service was recognized under similar Plan as of the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing clauses (x) through (z) shall not apply to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.05 to the contrary, Buyers agree to provide each Transferred Employee who is covered under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, with compensation and benefits as required under the terms of such collective bargaining agreement. On and after the Closing Date, Buyers shall be responsible for bonuses for Transferred Employees, whether accrued prior to, at or after the Closing. Sellers shall retain responsibility for all long-term disability benefits and workers’ compensation benefits for those Transferred Employees whose disabling injury, event or illness occurs prior to the Closing Date and who are not covered under an insurance Contract that is an Assumed Plan.

(b) Without limiting the obligations of Buyers under this Section 5.05, Buyers shall assume any current collective bargaining agreement that is in effect as of the Closing;

(c) As of the Closing Date, Sellers shall take all actions necessary to terminate eligibility and participation in each Plan that is not an Assumed Plan. In addition, Buyers and Sellers agree to take all actions necessary, if any, to transfer sponsorship of each Assumed Plan from Sellers to Buyers. With respect to any Assumed Plan, from and after the Closing, Buyers shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against, any and all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) and other liabilities and obligations relating to any Assumed Plan that may arise. Sellers shall be responsible for and retain all liabilities and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyers and their Affiliates from and against, any and all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) and other liabilities and obligations with respect to each Plan that is not an Assumed Plan.

(d) Transferred Employees will cease making contributions to and shall no longer participate in the Intelicoat Technologies Retirement Savings Plan, qualified under Code Sections 401(a) and 401(k) (“Seller’s Savings Plans”) effective as of the Closing Date. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Buyers will establish one or more new savings plans or designate existing savings plans qualified under Code Section 401(a) and including a cash or deferred feature under Code Section 401(k) and a related trust thereunder which shall be exempt under Code Section 501(a) (“Buyer’s Savings Plan”) that will permit participation by all Transferred Employees who are participating in the Seller’s Savings Plans as of the Closing Date (the “Participating Employees”). The Buyer’s Savings Plans shall permit rollovers of the Participating Employees’ account balances (including any participant loans) in the Seller’s Savings Plans; provided that such transfer amounts are in the form of cash and notes evidencing participant loans.

(e) Nothing in this Section 5.05 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be construed to modify, amend or establish any benefit plan, program or arrangement or in any way affect the ability of Buyers or the Businesses to modify, amend or terminate any of its benefit plans programs or arrangements. Nothing set forth in this Section 5.05 shall confer any

rights or remedies upon any employee or former employee of Sellers, the Businesses or upon any other Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

It is understood that descriptive or nominative use of “Image Products” is permitted. After the Closing, Buyers shall (and shall cause Buyers’ Affiliates to), to the extent commercially reasonable, remove or render illegible all references to “Intelicoat”, “Intelicoat Technologies” “Image Products” or any variation thereof or any related xxxx or logo, appearing on all sales, marketing and shipping materials and the inventories purchased and acquired hereunder unless such removal or rendering illegible would cause such sales, marketing and shipping materials or inventories to become unusable. If removing or rendering illegible all references to “Intelicoat”, “Intelicoat Technologies”, “Image Products” and the like, appearing on any sales, marketing and shipping materials or inventory purchased and acquired hereunder would cause such sales, marketing and shipping materials or inventory to become unusable, Buyers (or Buyers’ Affiliates) shall be entitled use such sales, marketing and shipping materials or inventory in the ordinary course of Buyers’ business for a period of 180 days following the Closing Date without modifying such references. Buyers shall indemnify and hold Sellers harmless for any losses Sellers suffer from Buyers’ use of any of Sellers’ names, including as permitted by this Section 5.06.

8.04 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party shall assign this Agreement or any right, benefit, or obligation hereunder except that a Party may assign its rights hereunder to any of its Affiliates, any financial institution, lender, or investor providing to such Party debt or equity financing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and to any Person that acquires, by purchase of stock, purchase of assets, merger, or other form of transaction, all or substantially all of the business and assets of such Party.

8.05 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

8.06 Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or the attached exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are

required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary of business for purposes of this Agreement. In addition, matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Disclosure Schedules and exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of contract).

8.07 Amendment and Waiver. Except as provided herein, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by Exopack and each of the Sellers. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

8.08 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein contain the complete agreement between the Parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way (including any letter of intent).

8.09 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person other than the Parties hereto, their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one Party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart may be executed by facsimile signature and such facsimile signature shall be deemed an original.

8.11. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, Delaware Law, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the substantive Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF, WHETHER PURPORTING TO BE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

8.12 Interpretation. In this Agreement, unless a contrary intention appears:

(a) Any capitalized term used in any Schedule attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement.

(b) The use of the word “including” herein shall mean “including without limitation”.

(d) “may not” is prohibitive and not permissive.

(e) “neither,” “nor,” “any” and “either” shall not be exclusive.

(f) With respect to the determination of any period of time, “from” means “from and including” and “to” means “to but excluding”.

(g) Words used in the singular shall be construed to mean or include the plural and vice versa.

(h) Pronouns of any gender shall be deemed to include and designate the masculine, feminine or neuter gender.

(i) Reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and assigns but, if applicable, only if such successors or assigns are not prohibited by this Agreement, and reference to a Person in a particular capacity excludes such Person in any other capacity or individually.

(j) All statements or references to dollar amounts in this Agreement are to the lawful currency of the United States of America.

(k) For the purposes of ARTICLE I, “to the extent relating to” means such amount or quantity (whether or not the item in question exclusively relates to the Business) that is capable of either being partially attributed to or partially allocated to the Businesses.

8.13 Bulk Transfer Laws. Exopack and each Buyer acknowledges that Sellers shall not comply with the provisions of any so-called bulk sales or transfer laws of any applicable jurisdiction (including Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code) in connection with the sale of Acquired Assets and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Exopack and each Buyer hereby waives Sellers’ failure to comply with such laws.

8.14 Obligations of the Parties. All obligations of either Seller under this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreements, the Supply Agreements and any other agreement executed by either of the Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be joint and several obligations of the Sellers.
