Acquired Assets is not capable of being assigned to Purchaser at Closing, without the Consent of
the other party thereto, or if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach
thereof, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment thereof, or an attempted assignment,
unless any such Consent is obtained. At Purchaser’s request, Seller will use commercially
reasonable efforts, which will not include the incurrence of any liability to the other party to
the Contract, to obtain such party’s Consent to the assignment. Purchaser will cooperate with
Seller in its efforts to obtain the Consents. Seller will have no liability to Purchaser in the

commencing with Closing, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser at no cost to Seller in any
reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide for Purchaser the benefits under such

Seller, after providing fifteen (15) days prior written notice or such other notice period
as is reasonable under the circumstances, which notice period will not be less than any cure
period provided in the underlying Contract or License, without waiving any rights or
remedies that it may have under this Agreement or applicable Laws, may suspend its
performance under Section 1.6.A with respect to the Contract or License that is the subject
of such failure to perform unless and until such situation is remedied; or Seller may
perform in a reasonable manner at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, in which case Purchaser
will reimburse Seller’s reasonable costs of such performance without xxxx-up, immediately
upon receipt of an invoice.
C. Seller will have no liability to Purchaser arising out of the provision of the
benefits of any Contract or License under this Section 1.6 other than for gross negligence
or willful misconduct and will have no Liability for actions taken under this Section 1.6 in
connection with the request or direction of Purchaser. Purchaser will reimburse Seller and
will hold Seller harmless from and against all Liabilities incurred or asserted as a result
of Seller’s post-Closing direct or indirect performance, requested by Purchaser under this

has become generally available to the public other than as a result of improper disclosure by
Seller or Seller’s Affiliates; or (ii) Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates is required by Law to
disclose, provided that Seller shall endeavor to give Purchaser such notice as may be reasonable
under the circumstances so that Purchaser may attempt to obtain a protective order.

3. PURCHASE PRICE:
3.1 Purchase Price for Acquired Assets:
A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the aggregate purchase price
for the Acquired Assets will be $8,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price,
reduced by the amount of the Assumed Employee Accrual as provided under Section 4.3.A below,
and reduced by the Holdback, will be paid by Purchaser on the Closing Date as set forth
herein.
B. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward dollar-for-dollar by the amount by
which the total value of all Inventory acquired by Purchaser hereunder, as calculated in
accordance with Schedule 3.1.C (the “Final Inventory Value”), is less than Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Base Inventory Value”) and the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted upward Fifty Cents ($.50) for each dollar by the amount by which the Final
Inventory Value is greater than the Base Inventory Value.
C. As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare a
calculation of the Final Inventory Value as of the Closing Date, based on a physical count
of Inventory that was conducted by Seller from June 18, 2010 to June 24, 2010. The Final
Inventory Value shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, valued on a first in, first out basis and consistent with the valuation
principles and practices identified in Schedule 3.1.C. The Final Inventory Value will
reflect reserves for excess and obsolete Inventory that are consistent with the reserves for
excess and obsolete Inventory determined in accordance with the valuation principles and
practices identified in Schedule 3.1.C. Purchaser shall deliver the Final Inventory Value to
Seller promptly upon completion of such calculation.
(i) Within thirty (30) days after receiving the Final Inventory Value from
Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a detailed statement describing
Seller’s objections, if any, to the Final Inventory Value, or stating that Seller
has no objections to the Final Inventory Value. If Seller has no objections to the
Final Inventory Value, the Final Inventory Value shall become final and binding upon
the parties. If Seller delivers to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period a
statement of Seller’s objections to the Final Inventory Value (the “Objection
Notice”), the Parties will endeavor to reconcile any differences and agree upon an
adjusted Final Inventory Value. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an adjusted
Final Inventory Value within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s receipt of
Seller’s Objection Notice, at the request of either Party the outstanding matters
shall be submitted for resolution to Xxxxxx Xxxxx or, if either Party is utilizing
the services of Xxxxxx Xxxxx, such other accounting firm as the Parties mutually
agree. Each of the Parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of
the accounting firm. Such accounting firm’s scope of review shall be limited to
only those items of disagreement specified in Seller’s Objection Notice and any
items described by Purchaser in response to Seller’s Objection Notice. Such
accounting firm shall make a final determination of the issues in dispute and
prepare an adjusted Final Inventory Value as promptly as practicable, but in no
event more than forty-five (45) days after engagement, and both Parties agree to
cooperate fully with such accounting firm. The adjusted Final Inventory Value
prepared by such accounting firm shall be final and binding upon the Parties.
14
(ii) If the Final Inventory Value as determined above is less than the Base
Inventory Value, Purchaser shall, at Seller’s option, deduct the shortfall amount
from the Holdback or Seller shall pay such shortfall amount in immediately available
funds, in each case within five (5) days following final determination of the Final
Inventory Value. If the Final Inventory Value as determined above is greater than
the Base Inventory Value, Purchaser shall pay Seller fifty percent (50%) of the
difference in immediately available funds within five (5) days following
determination of the Final Inventory Value.
D. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Excess Inventory Review Period,
Purchaser shall deliver a calculation of the Excess Inventory in accordance with
Schedule 3.1.D (the “Final Excess Inventory Value”), together with a representation
that such Final Excess Inventory Value is true and correct. The baseline for the
determination of the amount of Excess Inventory shall be calculated in accordance with the
valuation principles and practices set forth on Schedule 3.1.C and shall be the
amount of Inventory on hand as of July 31, 2010, less the amount of Inventory necessary to
fulfill the most current customer forecasts as provided by each customer of the Business, as
agreed upon by the Parties (the “Baseline Report”).
(i) During the Excess Inventory Review Period, Purchaser shall use best efforts
to enforce the terms and conditions of any Contract with customers relating to
Inventory, including terms and conditions relating to Inventory repurchase, stagnant
Inventory and the current term of the Contract. Further, during the Excess Inventory
Review Period, Purchaser shall not enter into any amendment to any Contract or
revise or compromise the terms of any Contract relating to Inventory, including
terms and conditions relating to Inventory repurchase, stagnant Inventory or
acceleration of termination of a Contract, to the detriment of Seller.
(ii) During the Excess Inventory Review Period, Purchaser shall provide to
Seller a quarterly report by part number in a format consistent with the Baseline
Report, indicating the beginning Inventory balance, actual usage, quarterly
Inventory balance and rolling twelve (12) month forecast. Purchaser shall provide
Seller or its designee with reasonable access to review the Excess Inventory from
Closing until expiration of the Excess Inventory Review Period, with prior written
notice and during normal business hours or as otherwise agreed by the Parties, to
review the books, records and Inventory relating to the Baseline Report, at Seller’s
cost. Seller’s review and activities at the Facility shall not unreasonably
interfere with any ongoing production at the Facility.
(iii) Within thirty (30) days after receiving the Final Excess Inventory Value
from Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a detailed statement describing
Seller’s objections, if any, to the Final Excess Inventory Value, or stating that
Seller has no objections to the Final Excess Inventory Value. If Seller has no
objections to the Final Excess Inventory Value, the Final Excess Inventory Value
shall become final and binding upon the Parties. If Seller delivers to Purchaser
within such thirty (30) day period a statement of Seller’s objections to the Final
Excess Inventory Value (the “Excess Inventory Objection Notice”), the Parties will
endeavor to reconcile any differences and agree upon an adjusted Final Excess
Inventory Value. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an adjusted Final Excess
Inventory Value within thirty (30) days
15
following Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Excess Inventory Objection Notice, at
the request of either Party the outstanding matters shall be submitted for
resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.C(i).
(iv) If the Final Excess Inventory Value as determined above is zero, Purchaser
shall pay Seller, in immediately available funds, the amount of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) within five (5) days following final determination of the Final
Excess Inventory Value. If the Final Excess Inventory Value as determined above is
more than zero but is less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Purchaser
shall pay Seller, in immediately available funds, the difference between the Final
Excess Inventory Value and One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) within five (5)
days following final determination of the Final Excess Inventory Value. If the
Final Excess Inventory Value as determined above is greater than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Seller shall pay Purchaser (or, at Seller’s option,
Purchaser may deduct from the Holdback) the amount of the Final Excess Inventory
Value, up to a maximum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) within five (5) days
following determination of the Final Excess Inventory Value. Further, if, during
the six (6) month period following expiration of the Excess Inventory Review Period,
Purchaser receives a payment from any customer related to Excess Inventory included
in the Final Excess Inventory Value for which Seller has paid Purchaser, then
Purchaser shall remit such payment to Seller.
(v) Purchaser will not scrap or otherwise dispose of any Excess Inventory
included in the Final Excess Inventory Value for which Seller has paid Purchaser,
other than sale to the applicable customer without Seller’s prior written consent.
Seller shall have the option, at any time during the six (6) month period following
expiration of the Excess Inventory Review Period, to take ownership and possession
of any Excess Inventory included in the Final Excess Inventory Value for which
Seller has paid Purchaser. Purchaser shall permit Seller to store any such Excess
Inventory owned by Seller at the Facility for a reasonable period of time and will
provide Seller with reasonable access to the Facility to remove any such Excess
Inventory.
3.2 Holdback. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, at the Closing, Purchaser
shall deposit the Holdback in an interest bearing account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to an
Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.2 hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”),
for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”); provided,
however, for purposes of Section 3.1.D, the Escrow Period shall continue for an additional thirty
(30) day period. The Holdback shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow
Agreement.
3.3 Purchase Price Allocation:
A. Within sixty (60) days after the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant
to Sections 3.1.B and 3.1.C above, the Parties agree to allocate the aggregate of the
Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (and all other capitalized costs) among the
Acquired Assets and the other agreements provided for herein for all purposes (including
financial accounting and tax purposes) (the “Allocation”).
16
B. Purchaser and Seller will each report the federal, state and local income Tax
consequences of the Sale in a manner consistent with the Allocation, including, if
applicable, the preparation and filing of Forms 8594 under Section 1060 of the Internal
Revenue Code (or any successor form or successor provision of any future Tax law) with their
respective federal income Tax returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date,
and none of the Parties will take any position inconsistent with the Allocation unless
required under applicable law. Seller will provide Purchaser and Purchaser will provide
Seller with a copy of any information required to be furnished to the Secretary of Treasury
under Internal Revenue Code Section 1060.
C. To the extent that Seller makes any payments relating to the Business prior to, on
or following the Closing Date with respect to any Acquired Assets as to which title passed
to Purchaser on such Closing Date, and as to items in Section 3.3.D below relating to
periods following such Closing Date for which the Purchaser will receive benefit, the
Purchaser shall reimburse Seller on a per diem basis within thirty (30) days of receipt of
evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. If Seller receives any payment
from a customer post-Closing relating to a period after the Closing, Seller shall
immediately remit payment to Purchaser.
D. To the extent Purchaser makes any payment relating to the Business following the
Closing Date with respect to any Acquired Assets as to which title passed to Purchaser on
such Closing Date, and as to items listed below relating to periods on or prior to such
Closing Date for which Seller received a benefit, Seller shall, at Seller’s option,
reimburse Purchaser or permit Purchaser to deduct from the Holdback on a per diem basis
within thirty (30) days of receipt of evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Seller,
in each case for the following: personal and other ad valorem taxes, including certain
personal property taxes, in accordance with local customs; and payments, charges and local
taxes due pursuant to any permit, commitment or other binding arrangements to which Seller
is a party or is obligated and which is being assumed by Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement. If Purchaser receives any payment from a customer post-Closing relating to a
period prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall immediately remit payment to Seller.
E. All payments by Purchaser to Seller, or by Seller to Purchaser, as the case may be,
under this Agreement shall be accomplished, at the option of the recipient, by a certified
or cashier’s check or wire transfer to the account specified by the recipient.

employees to accept employment with Purchaser and will allow Purchaser reasonable access to
such employees.
B. For all Transferred Salaried Employees, Purchaser’s offer of employment will be on

Sparton Corporation.
D. For all Transferred Salaried Employees and the Additional Salaried Employees,
Purchaser will maintain the requisite level of compensation and benefits for a minimum of
twelve (12) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to
Transferred Salaried Employees, after December 31, 2010, benefits will be provided under
Purchaser’s Employee Benefit Plans, which provide substantially similar benefits to Seller’s
Employee Benefit Plans. To the extent that Purchaser separates any Transferred Salaried
Employee or Additional Salaried Employee during the twelve (12) month period following the
Closing Date under circumstances that would render the Transferred Salaried Employee or
Additional Salaried Employee eligible for severance benefits had such separation occurred at
Seller, Purchaser will provide such separated Transferred Salaried Employees or Additional
Salaried Employees the severance benefits provided for under the terms of Purchaser’s
severance plan applicable at Closing, a summary of which Purchaser has delivered to Seller,

Employee’s combined Seller and Purchaser service.
4.2 Hourly Employees:
A. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser will offer employment to all current hourly
employees, which employees are listed on Schedule 4.2.A (the “Transferred Hourly

whether by reporting to work or otherwise) with effect from the Closing. Seller will
cooperate in encouraging any such employees to accept employment with Purchaser and will
allow Purchaser reasonable access to such employees.
B. For all Transferred Hourly Employees, Purchaser’s offer of employment will be on the
same terms, at the same level of compensation and with the same benefits in place
immediately prior to Closing; provided, however, that after December 31, 2010 the benefits
will be provided under Purchaser’s Employee Benefit Plans.
4.3 Transferred Employees:
A. Assumed Employee Accrual. Purchaser will be responsible for the amount of
all accrued and unutilized vacation pay and any profit sharing or incentive
18
compensation of Transferred Employees due for the calendar year in which the Closing

worked by the Transferred Employees for Seller (the “Assumed Employee Accrual”).
B. Employee Benefit Plans. Seller currently maintains the Employee Benefit
Plans listed on Schedule 4.3.B. Purchaser agrees, effective as of the Closing Date,
to assume sponsorship of the Employee Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 4.3.B,
including all obligations of the sponsor to contribute to and administer such Employee
Benefit Plans, and shall, immediately following the Closing Date, amend each of the Employee
Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 4.3.B to remove all references to Seller as the
plan sponsor, and identify Purchaser as the plan sponsor. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, Seller shall retain all Liabilities with respect to such plans for the period
prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall assume all Liabilities with respect to such
plans for the period after the Closing Date. The Parties agree to perform all acts
necessary or required to consummate the assumption by Purchaser of the Employee Benefit
Plans on Schedule 4.3.B, including, but not limited to, the making of all required
filings with the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor, if any, and the

appropriate to carry out their obligations under this section or for the purposes of
administration of such Employee Benefit Plans and shall cooperate in the filing of all
documents required for the Purchaser to assume sponsorship of the Employee Benefit Plans
listed on Schedule 4.3.B, if any. The Parties agree that if the insurers insuring
the transferred Employee Benefit Plans do not agree to the assignment of the insurance
contracts insuring such plans or require a material increase in pricing in order to agree to
the assignment, Purchaser shall obtain substantially similar insurance coverage as provided
under Seller’s Employee Benefit Plans.
X. Xxxxxxxxx. Other than as stated in this Agreement, Purchaser will assume
all obligations and liabilities relating to any claims for severance, termination (actual or
constructive), redundancy or other payments or benefits by Transferred Employees arising
from the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.
D. COBRA. Purchaser will assume all obligations relating to compliance with
the continuation health care coverage requirements of IRC Section 4980B and Sections 601

respects as of the Closing Date; (ii) the occurrence of any event that will, to Seller’s
Knowledge, result, or is reasonably likely to result, in a Material Adverse Effect or in the

investigation shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the
operation of the Business, the Excluded Businesses or the businesses of Seller’s Affiliates.

indemnify the other pursuant to this Section 9.4 are subject to the following limitations:
(i) SUBJECT TO SECTION 9.4.E, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE
OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS
INTERRUPTION LOSSES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTIONS OR OMISSION OF
EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH LOSSES.
(ii) Each Party agrees that, from and after the Closing, the indemnification
provided in this Section 9.4 is the exclusive remedy for a breach by the other Party
of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement,
and that there shall be no other remedy for any breach by a Party in respect of any
claim for monetary damages arising out of or under this Agreement.
(iii) In calculating amounts payable to an indemnified party, the amount of any
indemnified Purchaser Damages or Seller Damages, as the case may be, shall be
determined without duplication of any other damages for which a claim has been made
or could be made under any other representation, warranty or covenant included
herein.
(iv) Any written notice delivered by an indemnified party to an indemnifying
party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall set forth, with as
much specificity as is reasonably practicable, the basis of the claim, the sections
of this Agreement which form the basis for the claim, and, to the extent reasonably
practicable, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Purchaser Damages or Seller
Damages, as the case may be, that have been or may be sustained by such indemnified
party.
38
(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall an
indemnified party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement to the
extent any Purchaser Damages or Seller Damages, as the case may be, were
attributable to the indemnified party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(vi) No indemnifying party shall be liable to an indemnified party until the
amount of all indemnifiable damages of such indemnified party in the aggregate
exceeds $25,000, after which point, other than as limited below, the indemnifying
party will be obligated to the indemnified party for all damages.
(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except with
respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentations and the representations and
warranties contained in Sections 6.1 A, B, C and E, in no event will Seller be
obligated to indemnify Purchaser for Purchaser Damages (or any indemnifiable
damages) that, in the aggregate, exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price.
For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth herein, Seller’s obligations to
indemnify Purchaser for Purchaser Damages are capped at fifty percent (50%) of the
Purchase Price.
(viii) The obligation of any Party to indemnify the other pursuant to the terms
of this Section 9.4 shall apply only to the extent the Party seeking indemnification
notifies the other Party of such damages in writing on or before the later of: (a)
eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; or (b) sixty (60) days after the
applicable Party first learns about the claim for which indemnification is sought
under this Section 9.4.
(ix) To the extent an indemnifying party makes any indemnification payment
pursuant this Section 9.4 for which the indemnified party has a right to recover
against a third party (including an insurance company but specifically excluding
situations that are self insured, including through any captive insurance company),
the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to the right of the indemnified party to
seek and obtain recovery from such third party.
(x) No party shall be liable to an indemnified party for consequential,
punitive or special damages, unless such damages are included in third party
indemnification claims pursuant to Section 9.4.E below and the indemnified party is
liable to a third party claimant for such damages.
E. Third Party Indemnification. The obligations of any indemnifying party to
indemnify any indemnified party under Section 9.4 with respect to Purchaser Damages or
Seller Damages, as the case may be, resulting from the assertion of liability by third
parties (including Governmental Entities) (an “Indemnification Claim”), shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions, and the limitations of the first sentence of Section
9.4.A and Section 9.4.D(i) shall not apply to any such Indemnification Claims:
(i) Any party against whom any Indemnification Claim is asserted shall give the
party required to provide indemnity hereunder written notice of any such
Indemnification Claim promptly after learning of such Indemnification Claim (with
such notice satisfying the requirements of Section 12.1), and to the extent such
matter involves a third party claim, the indemnifying party may, at its option,
39
undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing and shall
provide written notice of any such undertaking to the indemnified party; provided
that the indemnifying party shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the
indemnified party its financial capability to undertake the defense. Failure to
give prompt written notice of an Indemnification Claim hereunder shall not affect
the indemnifying party’s obligations under this Section 9.4, except to the extent
that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give prompt
written notice. The indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, shall,
and shall cause its employees and representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the
indemnifying party in connection with the settlement or defense of such
Indemnification Claim and shall provide the indemnifying party with all available
information and documents concerning such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying
party, within thirty (30) days after written notice of any such Indemnification
Claim, fails to assume the defense of such Indemnification Claim, the indemnified
party against whom such claim has been made shall (upon further written notice to
the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or
settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk, and at the
expense, of the indemnifying party.
(ii) Anything in this Section 9.4 to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the
indemnified party shall not settle a claim for which it is indemnified without the
prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (ii) the indemnifying party shall
not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action, suit or proceeding, or
consent to the entry of any judgment for relief, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
F. Not Exclusive Indemnifications. Other than with respect to fraud or
intentional misconduct, the indemnifications in this Section 9.4 are the exclusive
indemnifications to be given by the Parties, except for any indemnifications provided for in
the Ancillary Agreements, which shall govern and control any indemnifications given under
each applicable Ancillary Agreement.
9.5 Exclusivity. Seller and Sparton Corporation are parties to a certain Letter of
Intent dated April 15, 2010, as amended (the “Letter of Intent”). The Letter of Intent provides,
among other things, that Seller will refrain from taking certain actions, as more specifically set
forth in Section 12 of the Letter of Intent, during the Exclusivity Period (as defined in the
Letter of Intent). Section 12 of the Letter of Intent shall survive the execution of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the Exclusivity Period is hereby
amended to end August 13, 2010.
9.6 Connectivity. The Parties acknowledge that phone and data connectivity for the
Xxxxxx Road portion of the Facility is provided through the Road 18 portion of the Facility.
Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, during the ninety (90) day period after Closing,
Seller will provide phone and data services to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the
Transition Services Agreement. During such ninety (90) day period, Purchaser will use commercially
reasonable efforts to contract with an alternative provider of phone and data services and install
such services at the Road 18 portion of the Facility. Once such alternative phone and data service
has commenced, at Seller’s reasonable request and with prior written notice, Purchaser will provide
phone connectivity and service (so long as Purchaser leases the
40
Road 18 portion of the Facility) to the Xxxxxx Road portion of the Facility (no greater than
in accordance with the current usage) for the duration of the Xxxxxx Road Lease, even if the Xxxxxx
Road Sublease has expired or been terminated, at Purchaser’s cost reimbursed by Seller without
xxxx-up. Additionally, Purchaser will ensure the availability (capacity) of voice ports equal to
the number of ports being utilized on the Closing Date. Seller shall cooperate as reasonably
requested by Purchaser in order to provide such services.
9.7 Sunrise Agreement. In order to allow Seller to perform its remaining obligations
under the Sunrise Agreement, which is an Excluded Asset, Seller will issue and Purchaser will
accept a Seller purchase order for the manufacture of a specified number of products for sale by
Seller to Sunrise as a final build out of all Sunrise products, including warranty and service
parts. Pricing for the products will be consistent with the pricing contemplated in the Financial
Statements. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser in connection with any loss,
liability or claim incurred by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s obligations or actions
under this Section 9.7, other than arising from Purchaser’s breach of the terms of the Seller
purchase order or Purchaser’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Provided that Purchaser
procures Inventory in accordance with the terms of Schedule 9.7, and that Purchaser
provides best efforts to perform all of its obligations under the Seller purchase order, then
Seller will purchase from Purchaser any remaining inventory related to the Sunrise products upon
receipt of Purchaser’s invoice.
9.8 Storage. Following the Closing Date and until August 31, 2010, Purchaser will
permit Seller to store assets listed on Schedule 9.8 related to the Excluded Business at
the Facility at no cost to Seller. During such period, Purchaser will provide Seller with
reasonable access to the Facility on prior written notice and during normal business hours or as
otherwise agreed by Purchaser to inspect any such assets, to prepare for the removal of such assets
and to remove such assets. Purchaser shall exercise a reasonable standard of care with respect to
the storage of Seller’s assets. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser for any loss,
liability or claim incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Section 9.8, and; provided that
Purchaser meets its obligations as set forth herein, Purchaser shall have no liability for loss or
damage to said assets. Seller’s activities at the Facility shall not unreasonably interfere with
any ongoing production at the Facility.
9.9 FDA Regulatory Compliance. Following the Closing, Purchaser will timely register
as a manufacturing facility as required by applicable Law. From and after the Closing Date,

sold prior to the Closing) or Seller, or any of Seller’s Affiliates, agree or are required,
pursuant to applicable Contracts or by a Governmental Entity or by Law, to provide one or
more replacement products or repairs to customers in connection with recalls or warranty
claims by such customers, Purchaser shall supply repairs or replacement products to Seller
for a total aggregate purchase price equal to Purchaser’s cost of repairing or producing
such products or shall provide such repairs or replacement products to the applicable
customer. Seller or its Affiliates shall notify Purchaser in writing of its requirements
for repairs or replacement products as such requirements arise and Purchaser shall deliver
the required number of repairs or replacement
41
Products to Seller after customary component lead time after receipt of such written
notice. The Parties shall cooperate in communicating with customers regarding any warranty
claims.

repairs or replacements were required by Contract, by a Governmental Entity or by Law, or

the basis for such dispute, including that such repairs or replacements were not required by
Contract, by a Governmental Entity or by Law (a “Warranty Dispute”). All Warranty Disputes
shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.18 of this Agreement and Seller shall have
the right to withhold the disputed portion of the Warranty Invoice until the Warranty
Dispute has been finally resolved. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser acknowledges that
Seller shall have no obligation to reimburse Purchaser for repairs or replacements that
Seller would not be required to provide under applicable Contracts, by Governmental Entity
or by Law.

facility for purposes of reviewing and modifying the Sunrise Data. Within thirty (30) days
of the expiration of the Data Maintenance Period, Seller will back-up the Sunrise Data,
which back-up will be retained by Seller. Following such back-up, the Sunrise Data will be
deemed part of the Back-Up and subject to Section 9.11.A.
42
C. With respect to any data, including attachments, in the AGILE system located at the

prior written consent of Seller (i.e., only Seller will be able to modify the Divested
Products Data and Purchaser will be able to view the Divested Products Data only to perform
the deletion set forth herein) and will not delete any such Divested Products Data during
the Data Maintenance Period. Within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Data
Maintenance Period, Purchaser will run data deletion scripts provided by Seller to delete
the Sunrise Data and the Divested Products Data from the AGILE system. Purchaser will
provide Seller with access to the AGILE system to confirm deletion as provided herein.
