The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information that is generally available to the public immediately

prior to the time of disclosure unless such Confidential Information is so available due to the actions of a Seller. Each Seller shall refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to Buyer or destroy, at the request and option of Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information that are in his or her possession. Each of the Target Entities and Sellers acknowledge that Buyer’s confidentiality obligations relating to the Target Entities under the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2009, between Buyer and Target, are hereby terminated as of the Closing Date. 5.5. Covenant Not to Compete and Not to Solicit(a). For a period of four years from and after the Closing Date (the “Restrictive Period”), none of Sellers and their respective Affiliates will engage directly or indirectly in Competition worldwide.

(c) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 5.5 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

Employee Matters. At the Closing, Buyer will make offers of at-will employment, including retention bonuses or severance payments, to certain employees of Target.

(i) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of his, her or its choice reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies such Indemnified Party in writing within 30 days after such Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Damages such Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good

faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a legal precedent or precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of such Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently. (ii) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.4(b)(i) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at his, her or its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld). (iii) In the event any of the conditions in Section 7.4(b)(i) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner he, she or it may reasonably deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VII. 7.5. Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any indemnification payment under this Article VII or Section 8.1 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price when made by Buyer Indemnified Parties. 7.6. Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common law remedy (including any such remedy arising under Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements) any party may have with respect to the Target Entities or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties may pursue any such rights or remedies singly, together or successively, and exercise of any such right or remedy shall not be deemed an election of remedies, nor shall the failure to exercise any right or remedy be deemed a waiver of any existing or subsequent right or remedy. Each Seller hereby agrees that he or she will not make any claim for indemnification against the Target Entities by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of any of the Target Entities or was serving at the request of any of the Target Entities as a partner, trustee, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand brought by Buyer against such Seller (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable Law or otherwise).

ARTICLE VIII Tax Matters The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Sellers for certain tax matters following the Closing Date: 8.1.

Each Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify and defend the Target Entities, Buyer, and each Affiliate of Buyer and the Target Entities and hold them harmless from and against any loss, claim, Liability, expense, penalty or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Target Entities for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any of the Target Entities (or any predecessor of any of the Target Entities) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar Law, (iii) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Target Entities) imposed on any of the Target Entities as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, and (iv) any Tax imposed on any of the Target Entities as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, Taxes resulting from the application of Section 1374 of the Code (or any similar state or locate Tax Law) in connection with the deemed sale of assets caused by the Section 338(h)(10) Election. Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of any of the Target Entities that are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to this Section 8.1 within 15 Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or Buyer’s written request therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be subject to any limitations on indemnification that may be contained in Article VII. 8.2. Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Target Entities for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes of the Target Entities for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. 8.3. Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Target Entities that are filed after the Closing Date other than income tax returns of the Target Entities for periods ending on or before the Closing Date, which shall be the responsibility of Sellers. As soon as practicable following Buyer’s preparation of any Tax Return related to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (including the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the close of business on the Closing Date), and in no event later than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers a copy of any such Tax Return for review and comment (which comments shall be considered in good faith by Sellers) and written notice of the amount of the Tax shown thereon that is the obligation of Sellers. As soon as practicable following Sellers’

preparation of any income Tax Return of the Target Entities for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and in no event later than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a copy of any such Tax Return for review and comment, which comments shall be considered in good faith by the Buyer. 8.4. Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer, the Target Entities and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article VIII and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Target Entities and Sellers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Target Entities relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Target Entities or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of copies of such books and records. (a) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). (b) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Code Section 6043, Code Section 6043A or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 8.5. Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable Law, Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. 8.6. Section 338(h)(10) Election. (a) Upon Buyer’s request, the Sellers will join with Buyer in making an election under Code Section 338(h)(10) (and any corresponding elections under Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder (a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). Sellers will include all income, gain, loss, deduction, or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election on their Tax Returns and shall pay on behalf of the Target Entities any Tax imposed on the Target Entities attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including, but not limited to, (i) any Tax imposed under Code Section 1374, or (ii) any

state, local or foreign Tax imposed on the Target Entities (other than state or local transfer Taxes) resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election. (b) Buyer shall be responsible for, and control, the preparation and filing of the Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Sellers shall execute and deliver to Buyer at the Closing (and thereafter as requested by Buyer) such documents or forms (including Section 338 Forms, as defined below) as Buyer shall request or as are required by applicable Law to make effective the Section 338(h)(10) Election. “Section 338 Forms” shall mean all returns, documents, statements, and other forms that are required to be submitted to any federal, state, local or foreign Taxing authority in connection with a Section 338(h)(10) Election, including, without limitation, any “statement of Section 338 Election” and IRS Form 8023 (together with any schedules or attachments thereto) that are required pursuant to Treasury Regulations. (c) If Buyer elects to make a Section 338(h)(10) Election, the parties will allocate the aggregate purchase consideration paid to Sellers among the assets of the Target Entities according to the allocation prepared by Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing. Each of Buyer, Sellers, and the Target Entities agrees (a) to act in accordance with such allocation schedule in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594), (b) not to voluntarily take any position inconsistent therewith in the course of any Tax proceeding, unless required to do so by applicable Law, and (c) to provide the other promptly with any other information required to timely file IRS Form 8594. 8.7. Tax Claims. After the Closing, each of Buyer and Sellers shall promptly notify each of the other parties in writing upon receipt of any written notice of any pending or threatened audit or assessment, suit, proposed adjustment, deficiency, dispute, administrative or judicial proceeding or similar claim relating to Taxes (“Tax Claim”) for which the Sellers could be liable pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer will control the defense of all Tax Claims, provided that Sellers may elect, at their own expense, to have competent and reputable counsel satisfactory to Buyer to participate in such defense by providing written notice to Buyer. This Section 8.7 shall govern the parties’ handling of Tax Claims in lieu of Section 7.4(b). 8.8. Treatment of Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, all indemnification and similar payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and each party will report such payments consistently with such treatment for all Tax purposes. ARTICLE IX Miscellaneous 9.1. Nature of Sellers’ Obligations. (a) The covenants of each Seller in Section 2.1 above concerning the sale of his Shares to Buyer and the representations and warranties of each Seller in Section 3.1 above concerning the transaction are individual, and not joint and several, obligations. This means that the particular Seller making the representation, warranty or covenant shall be solely responsible

to the extent provided in Section 7.2(b) above for any Damages any Buyer Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of any breach thereof. (b) The remainder of the representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement are joint and several obligations. This means that each Seller shall be responsible to the extent provided in Sections 7.2(a) and 8.1 above for the entirety of any Damages any Buyer Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of any breach thereof. 9.2. Press Releases and Public Announcements. None of the Sellers shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Buyer; provided, however, that any of the Sellers may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law (in which case the Seller will use its best efforts to advise Buyer prior to making the disclosure). 9.3. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to the rights and remedies under Article VII and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall also be entitled to the rights and remedies under Section 8.1. 9.4. Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waivers. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the documents referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer, the Target Entities and Sellers. No waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party making such waiver nor shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant. 9.5. Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of his, her or its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that Buyer may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates; (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in any or all of which cases Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder); and (iii) assign this Agreement in connection with a change of control or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. 9.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.7. Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 9.8. Notices.

Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving

effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state court located in New Castle County, Delaware and any federal court located in the District of Delaware in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters or agreements contemplated herein, and agrees that process may be served upon such party in any manner authorized by the Laws of the State of Delaware for such person and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and process. Each party agrees not to commence any legal proceedings related hereto except in such courts referenced in this Section 9.9. 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE, SHE OR IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND COVENANTS IN THIS SECTION 9.10. 9.11. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. 9.12. Expenses. Sellers will be solely responsible for the costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Target Entities and/or Sellers (including costs, fees and expenses of the Target Entities’ brokers, bankers, attorneys and employees, such as bonuses related to the sale of the Shares) in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Target Expenses”), and Buyer will be solely responsible for the costs, fees and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Target Expenses were paid or are payable by the Target Entities or Buyer, Buyer shall deduct the aggregate amount of such Target Expenses from the Purchase Price for any amounts paid prior to Closing and shall seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement for any amounts paid after Closing. 9.13. Payment Agent. (a) Sellers hereby irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint Infantino and Xxxxxx, Attorneys at Law as the agent and true and lawful attorney in fact of Sellers (the “Payment Agent”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of Sellers

for purposes of receiving and making payment and executing any documents and taking any actions relating thereto that the Payment Agent may, in his/her/its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with Sections 2.2, 2.4, 7.4(a)(ii) and this Section 9.13 (the “Payment Agent Sections”). Sellers represent and warrant that the Payment Agent has accepted his/her/its appointment as Payment Agent. (b) Sellers hereby grant to the Payment Agent full authority to receive, execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of Sellers (in the name of any or all of Sellers or otherwise) any and all funds and documents that the Payment Agent may, in his/her/its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Payment Agent may, in his/her/its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: Buyer shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Payment Agent on all matters relating to the Payment Agent Sections. (c) Sellers recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 9.13(a) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, may be delegated by the Payment Agent, and shall survive the death or incapacity of each Seller. (d) The Payment Agent shall be entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter, facsimile, telex or other document that is believed by him/her/it to be genuine and to have been telexed, telegraphed, faxed or cabled by a Seller or to have been signed and presented by a Seller. (e) If the Payment Agent shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his/her/its responsibilities hereunder, Sellers shall, within ten days after such death or disability, appoint a successor to the Payment Agent and immediately thereafter notify Buyer of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Payment Agent as Payment Agent hereunder. If for any reason there is no Payment Agent at any time, all references herein to the Payment Agent shall be deemed to refer to Sellers. (f) All expenses incurred by the Payment Agent in connection with the performance of his/her/its duties as Payment Agent shall be borne and paid by Sellers. 9.14. Construction. Each party has been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, the parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular provision of this Agreement. The parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another

representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. 9.15. Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The exhibits and schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. 9.16. Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled, at law or in equity. In particular, the parties acknowledge that the business of the Target Entities is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event Sellers breach this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and Buyer would have no adequate remedy at law, so that Buyer shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the other parties’ obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other equitable relief. * * *
