PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 20, 2015 (the “Agreement Date”), is by and among SCS Secure Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), MCSC LLC (the “Seller”), and Benchmark Electronics, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Purchaser”). Certain capitalized terms set forth in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Section 9.1 hereof.

WHEREAS, the Seller owns all of the membership interests of the Company (collectively, the “Membership Interests”);

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, the Membership Interests;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Seller, the Company and Purchaser, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Membership Interests, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created by or through the Purchaser, its financing sources, or any of their respective Affiliates).

1.2 Aggregate Purchase Price; Cash Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cash Consideration” means an amount equal to the result of (i) Two Hundred Thirty Million Dollars ($230,000,000) (“Aggregate Purchase Price”), (ii) minus the Estimated Closing Debt, (iii) plus the Estimated Closing Cash, (iv) minus the amount (if any) by which the Net Working Capital Lower Target exceeds the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital or plus the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Upper Target (for clarity, if the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is within the Net Working Capital Collar Range, then there shall be no adjustment to the Cash Consideration pursuant to this subclause (iv)), (v) minus the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, and (vi) minus the Seller Carrier Contribution Amount. “Net Working Capital Upper Target” shall mean an amount equal to Forty Million Eight Hundred One Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty Eight Dollars ($40,801,938), and “Net Working Capital Lower Target” shall mean an amount equal to Thirty Eight Million Eight Hundred One Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty Eight Dollars ($38,801,938). The Cash Consideration shall be subject to adjustment after Closing pursuant to Section 1.6.

-1-

1.3 Payment of Cash Consideration. At the Closing, in consideration of the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Membership Interests to Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay the Cash Consideration as follows:

(a) Purchaser shall pay to Bank of America National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) the Escrow Amount, to be held in an account (the “Escrow Account”) established pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement by and among Purchaser, Seller and the Escrow Agent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Escrow Agreement”); and

(b) After paying the Escrow Amount out of the Cash Consideration pursuant to clause (a), Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the remainder of the Cash Consideration (such net remainder, the “Closing Cash Payment”).

1.4 Payment of Certain Company Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses. At least two (2) days prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause each of the lenders or other payees under the Debt Arrangements to have delivered to Purchaser customary payoff letters in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and the Company (each, a “Debt Payoff Letter”) stating that, upon payment of the amount provided in the applicable Debt Payoff Letter (each, a “Debt Payoff Amount”), the Acquired Companies will have satisfied all obligations of such Acquired Companies to such payee with respect to such Debt Arrangements (except for customary contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) including the payment of all Indebtedness contemplated by or other amounts then owing under such Debt Arrangements. At the Closing, in addition to paying the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 1.3, the Purchaser shall also pay or cause to be paid (i) the Debt Payoff Amounts as provided in the Debt Payoff Letters and (ii) the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses in accordance with wire instructions specified by the Seller prior to Closing; provided, however, that in the case of Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses owed to employees of any Acquired Company, the Purchaser shall contribute such amounts to the Acquired Company at the Closing and cause the Acquired Company to pay such amounts (less applicable withholding and any Taxes required to be paid by the Acquired Company with respect thereto) to the applicable employees as soon as practicable following the Closing.

1.5 Release of Escrow Amount. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing (such anniversary, the “Escrow Release Date”), the Purchaser shall direct the Escrow Agent to release to the Seller all of the remaining Escrow Amount, if any, in excess (such excess amount as of the Escrow Release Date, the “Retained Amount”) of the aggregate maximum amount of the losses then being claimed by the Purchaser from all Claims made pursuant to Section 7.1(f) that are unresolved as of the Escrow Release Date (such unresolved claims, the “Open Claims”). The Retained Amount instead shall be retained in the Escrow Account, and, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following resolution of each Open Claim (it being understood that after resolution of an Open Claim, then such Claim shall no longer be an Open Claim), Purchaser and the Seller shall direct the Escrow Agent to release to the Seller the remaining Escrow Amount, if any, in excess of the aggregate maximum amount of the losses then being claimed by the Purchaser from all then-existing Open Claims.

1.6 Purchase Price Adjustment .

(a) No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser:

(i) a written estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (but without giving effect to the Closing) (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), prepared in good faith and in accordance with Schedule 1;

(ii) a written estimate of the Closing Debt (the “Estimated Closing Debt”), prepared in good faith and in accordance with GAAP, and to the extent consistent with GAAP, in accordance with the Balance Sheet;

(iii) a written estimate of the Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), prepared in good faith and in accordance with GAAP, and to the extent consistent with GAAP, in accordance with the Balance Sheet; and

(iv) a written estimate of the Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”), prepared in good faith.

The statements of the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Debt, the Estimated Closing Cash and the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses are referred to herein collectively as the “Pre-Closing Statements.” The Pre-Closing Statements shall be accompanied by (or include) a certification executed by a senior financial officer of the Company to the effect that the Pre-Closing Statements have been prepared in good faith in accordance with this Section 1.6.

(b) As soon as practicable, but in any event not more than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller:

(i) a statement of the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (but without giving effect to the Closing) (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), prepared in accordance with Schedule 1;

(ii) a statement of the Closing Debt, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and to the extent consistent with GAAP, in accordance with the Balance Sheet;

(iii) a statement of the Closing Cash, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and to the extent consistent with GAAP, in accordance with the Balance Sheet; and

(iv) a statement of the Closing Transaction Expenses.

The statements of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Debt, the Closing Cash and the Closing Transaction Expenses are referred to herein collectively as the “Closing Statements.” The Closing Statements shall be accompanied by (or include) a certification executed by a senior financial officer of Purchaser to the effect that the Closing Statements have been prepared in good faith in accordance with this Section 1.6. All costs and expenses incurred

-3-

by Purchaser in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Closing Statements shall be borne by Purchaser.

(c) The Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on a Closing Statement; provided, however, that the Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) of each disputed item, specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within sixty (60) days of the Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statements (the “Review Period”). If the Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice within the Review Period, the Closing Statements delivered by Purchaser to the Seller shall be deemed to be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. In the event the Seller delivers to Purchaser a Dispute Notice within the Review Period, Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. If Purchaser and the Seller are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within sixty (60) days of the receipt by Purchaser of the Dispute Notice, on the written demand of Purchaser or the Seller, the items remaining in dispute shall be submitted within fifteen (15) days for resolution to a nationally-recognized public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser (and, if they are unable to agree within such 15-day period, then the accounting firm that the Purchaser selected and the accounting firm that the Seller selected shall mutually select a different nationally recognized public accounting firm that does not then represent and has not in the prior three years represented Purchaser or Seller or their respective Affiliates) (the “Accounting Expert”) who shall resolve any such disputes. The Accounting Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and it is the intent of the parties that the process set forth in this clause (c) and the activities of the Accounting Expert in connection herewith are not intended to be and, in fact, are not arbitration and that no formal arbitration rules shall be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The scope of the Accounting Expert’s engagement shall be limited to resolving the disputed items in accordance with, and by application of the terms (including the applicable definitions) of, this Agreement, and the Accounting Expert shall have no authority over any other disagreement (including questions of Law, interpretation of contract, and fraud). Within sixty (60) days after appointment, the Accounting Expert shall make a final written determination upon such remaining disputed items, and such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto; provided, however, that the final written determination of the Accounting Expert shall not be outside the range of disputed amounts for each item in dispute, as each such range existed immediately prior to the submission of each such disputed item to the Accounting Expert. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Expert in resolving the dispute shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, such that the amount paid by the Seller bears the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount unsuccessfully disputed by the Seller bears to the total dollar amount of the disputed items that were submitted for resolution to the Accounting Expert, and Purchaser shall pay the balance. For purposes of illustration only, if Closing Cash is disputed to be $1,000 by Seller and $900 by Purchaser and is determined by the Accounting Expert to be $960, then Seller would bear 40% of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Expert because the amount disputed was $100 and the amount unsuccessfully disputed by Seller was $40. The Accounting Expert shall also determine whether any notices required to be given pursuant to this Section 1.6 have been timely given. Any time period contained herein may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties. Any amount payable following resolution of a matter specified in a Dispute Notice shall be paid within five (5) Business Days following the resolution thereof pursuant to clause (e) below.

-4-

(d) Subject to Section 1.6(c) and after the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Debt, the Closing Cash and the Closing Transaction Expenses in accordance therewith, the Seller and Purchaser agree that the Cash Consideration shall be adjusted as set forth below:

(i) The adjustment to the Cash Consideration computed in Section 1.2(iv) shall be recomputed using the Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) in lieu of the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, and (A) if such recomputed adjustment amount is greater than the adjustment amount originally computed at Closing in Section 1.2(iv), then the Cash Consideration shall be increased by such excess or (B) if such recomputed adjustment amount is less than the adjustment amount originally computed at Closing in Section 1.2(iv), then the Cash Consideration shall be decreased by such deficit;

(ii) if the Closing Debt as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) is more than the Estimated Closing Debt, the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the difference between the Closing Debt and the Estimated Closing Debt;

(iii) if the Closing Debt as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) is less than the Estimated Closing Debt, the Cash Consideration shall be increased by the difference between the Estimated Closing Debt and the Closing Debt;

(iv) if the Closing Cash as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) is less than the Estimated Closing Cash, the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the difference between the Closing Cash and the Estimated Closing Cash;

(v) if the Closing Cash as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) is more than the Estimated Closing Cash, the Cash Consideration shall be increased by the difference between the Closing Cash and the Estimated Closing Cash;

(vi) if the Closing Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) are more than the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the difference between the Closing Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses; and

(vii) if the Closing Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) are less than the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, the Cash Consideration shall be increased by the difference between the Closing Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses.

(e) As used herein, “Final Cash Consideration” shall mean the Cash Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.6.

(i) If the Final Cash Consideration is greater than the Cash Consideration estimated at Closing, then Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to such excess.

(ii) If the Final Cash Consideration is less than the Cash Consideration estimated at Closing, then the Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such deficiency.

-5-

(f) From the Closing until the determination of Final Cash Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.6, Purchaser shall provide Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and without disruption to its day-to-day business, to its and the Acquired Companies’ books and records relevant to a determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Debt, the Closing Cash and the Closing Transaction Expenses, including any Tax Returns, financial statements, and other related documents. In addition, Purchaser shall, upon the Seller’s request, provide the Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to personnel of Purchaser and the Acquired Companies and their Representatives involved in the preparation of the Closing Statements or with knowledge of the information contained therein or with knowledge of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Debt, the Closing Cash or the Closing Transaction Expenses.

(ii) If any Deductions are not permitted to be reported in a Pre-Closing Period but instead are deductible by the Acquired Companies in a Post-Closing Tax Period or portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing Period”), or are deductible in a Pre-Closing Period but the deductions contribute to a loss carryforward rather than a reduction in the Taxes payable by the Acquired Companies in such period (determined on a “with and without” basis), then, except to the extent reflected as a tax asset in the Closing Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay over to the Seller an amount equal to the net reduction in Taxes realized (in the form of a refund, credit or reduction in otherwise required Tax payments otherwise payable by the applicable Acquired Company or its Affiliates) resulting from such Deductions or loss carryforward (a “Tax Benefit Payment”) within ten (10) Business Days after such reduction is realized by any Acquired Company or the affiliated, combined or consolidated group including the Acquired Companies, as applicable, provided that Tax Benefit Payments shall only be made if the net reduction in Taxes to which they relate are realized during or with respect to the first three taxable years of the Acquired Companies (or the consolidated or affiliated group that includes the Acquired Companies) ending after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall report, or cause the Acquired Companies to report, all Deductions on their income Tax Returns for the first taxable period for which such Deductions may be reported under applicable Law. For each of the three taxable periods for which a Tax Benefit Payment could be required, on or prior to ten (10) days following the date on which the Purchaser or relevant Acquired Company files its U.S. federal income Tax Return (whether or not a Tax Benefit Payment is due for such year), Purchaser will deliver to the Seller an explanation and calculation of the Tax Benefit Payment for that taxable year (even if zero),

-34-

together with such other information as the Seller may reasonably request to allow it to confirm the calculation.

(e) Post-Closing Actions. Except as otherwise required by applicable Laws, Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) file or cause any Acquired Company to file any amended Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or (ii) make or change any election that has any retroactive effect on any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or take, or cause or permit any Acquired Company to take, any action on the Closing Date or following the Closing, to the extent such election or action would give rise to any indemnification claim with respect to Taxes or reduce any Pre-Closing Tax Refund or other payment to which the Seller would otherwise be entitled under Section 5.6(d).

(f) Voluntary Disclosure Agreement. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Seller shall cause to be prepared and filed a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (“VDA”) with the state of Hawaii with respect to the applicable item disclosed on Section 2.11 of the Disclosure Schedule. Seller shall have the right to represent the Company in the negotiation of such VDA with the goal of obtaining a final agreement with the state of Hawaii as to requested items. The preparation, negotiation and filing of the VDA shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6(g) hereof (mutatis mutandis) as if it were a Seller’s Tax Contest Claim, and Purchaser will cause duly authorized officers of the Acquired Companies (or any successor thereof) to execute and file a VDA prepared in accordance with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.6(e), in the event the VDA is not filed on or before the later of December 31, 2015 or sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to prepare and file the VDA.

(g) Tax Controversy. After the Closing, each of Purchaser, the Acquired Companies and the Seller shall promptly notify each of the other parties in writing upon receipt of any written notice of any pending or threatened Tax proceeding or similar claim relating to Taxes of any Acquired Company (“Tax Claim”) for which the Seller could be liable pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Seller of any liability hereunder except to the extent the Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Seller shall have the sole right to employ counsel of its choice at its expense and to control the defense of all such Tax Claims for which the Seller is liable under this Agreement for the full amount of Tax payable with respect to such claim or proceeding (a “Seller’s Tax Contest Claim”) and shall bear the full cost of pursuing any such claim; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim, at its expense, with counsel of its choosing and the Seller shall not agree to the settlement of any such Tax Claim or proceeding that would have an adverse effect on any Acquired Company without Purchaser’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. None of Purchaser, the Acquired Companies and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates will agree to any settlement of any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser shall, at the Seller’s expense, make available or shall cause the applicable Acquired Company to make available to the Seller any and all books and records of such Acquired Company and other documents reasonably requested by the Seller and shall make available employees of such Acquired Company to enable the Seller to defend any Seller’s Tax Contest Claim and shall cooperate with the Seller in defense of such

-35-

claim. Except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser shall control all other Tax Claims; provided that Purchaser shall notify the Seller and allow the Seller a reasonable opportunity to participate (at its own cost) in any such Tax Claims that could result in an indemnification claim by Purchaser with respect to Taxes, and none of Purchaser, the Acquired Companies and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates will agree to any settlement of any such Tax Claim or cease to defend such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

5.7 Employee and Benefits Matters.

(a) For purposes of this Section 5.7, the term “Continuing Employees” shall mean employees who are employed by the Acquired Companies at the Closing.

(b) Benefits and Compensation.

(i) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall either continue to offer or establish, effective as of the Closing Date, employee compensation and benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements (including fringe benefits but excluding severance pay) that will provide benefits and compensation to the Continuing Employees (and, if applicable, their eligible beneficiaries) for a period of at least one (1) year after the Closing Date that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the Acquired Plans set forth in Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the extent that such Acquired Plans are provided by the Acquired Companies to the Continuing Employees (and, if applicable, their eligible beneficiaries) immediately prior to the Closing Date. Following the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Acquired Companies shall be solely responsible for any liability, cost, expense or obligation arising under or relating to any Acquired Plan, whether incurred before, on or after the Closing Date.

(ii) Following the Closing Date, with respect to each employee benefit plan in which any Continuing Employee participates, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits, including vacation entitlement, but not including benefit accrual under any pension plan, service with the Company or any other Acquired Company shall be treated as service with Purchaser or the applicable Affiliate of Purchaser; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Such service shall also apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations. Each such plan shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under the corresponding Acquired Plan. Continuing Employees shall be given credit under the applicable plan of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof for amounts paid under a corresponding Acquired Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the successor or replacement plan.

(c) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or Former Employee any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall prohibit Purchaser or the applicable Affiliate of Purchaser from

-36-

amending or terminating any Acquired Plans, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed as in any way modifying or amending the provisions of any Acquired Plan.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall require Purchaser to establish or maintain any benefit that is not provided through the Acquired Plans that exist as of the Closing.

5.8 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, the parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all necessary actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including the execution of any additional documents or instruments of any kind (not containing additional representations and warranties) which may be necessary to carry out any of the provisions hereof.

5.9 Maintenance of Books and Records. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, preserve, from the Closing until at least the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, all pre-Closing Date records by the Acquired Companies. After the Closing Date and up until at least the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any reasonable request from the Seller, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (a) provide to the Seller or its Representatives reasonable access to such records during normal business hours for reasonable purposes relating to pre-closing ownership or operations of the Acquired Companies and (b) permit the Seller or its Representatives to make copies of such records, in each case at no cost to the Seller or its Representatives (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reimbursement of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket expenses). Such records may be sought under this Section 5.9 for any reasonable purpose, including to the extent reasonably required in connection with the audit, accounting, Tax Return preparation, financial statement preparation. litigation, or other similar needs of the Seller or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the requirements for Purchaser to provide any documents, information, records, or any other items pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall not apply in connection with any Litigation or other dispute between the parties hereto or as it relates to an indemnification claim hereunder other than with respect to a Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all such records may be destroyed by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries at any time if such party sends to the Seller written notice of its intent to destroy such records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the records to be destroyed; such records may then be destroyed after the thirtieth (30th) day following such notice unless the Seller notifies the destroying party that it desires to obtain possession of such records, in which event the destroying party shall transfer the records to the Seller.

5.10 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnity. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any Acquired Company to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any present and former director, manager and officer of any Acquired Company (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Persons”) in a manner that is adverse to any Company Indemnified Person (unless required by applicable Law), it being the intent of the parties that the Company Indemnified Persons shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the full extent of applicable Law. This Section 5.10 is intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the Company Indemnified Persons at Law or

-37-

otherwise and shall be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Company Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and representatives.

5.11 Exclusivity. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not, nor shall it authorize any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly solicit or initiate any discussions with, provide any information to, or negotiate with, any third party concerning any sale of the Acquired Companies, issuance of equity in any of the Acquired Companies, merger, consolidation, sale of significant or substantial assets other than in the Ordinary Course of Business, or similar transaction relating to the business or the assets of any Acquired Company (any such transaction being referred to herein as an “Acquisition Proposal”). During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing if it receives any Acquisition Proposal or request for information about Seller with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

5.12 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, hold all of the Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) disclosures of Confidential Information required by applicable Law or Order (so long as Purchaser is given reasonable prior written notice and an opportunity to intervene prior to such disclosure, if possible), (ii) Confidential Information that becomes publicly available (through no fault of Seller or any of its Affiliates), (iii) use of Confidential Information by any Affiliate of Seller in furtherance of such Person’s employment duties for Purchaser, any Acquired Company, or any of their Affiliates following the Closing (as applicable), or (iv) use of Confidential Information by Seller or any of its Affiliates to enforce the rights of Seller under the Transaction Agreements.

5.13 Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement.

(a) For a period of two years following the Closing Date, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly (including through its Affiliates or any VSC Party):

(i) (A) solicit the business of any Person which is a customer or client of an Acquired Company as of, or was its customer or client within 12 months prior to, the date of this Agreement, but only as such business relates to provision of goods or services developed, manufactured or provided by an Acquired Company to such customer or client during such time period, or (B) take any action that would (or would reasonably be expected to) in any way interfere with the relationship between an Acquired Company and any such Person (including making any negative or disparaging statements or communications about any Acquired Company); or

(ii) solicit for employment or engagement, any employee or independent contractor of an Acquired Company; provided, that this paragraph shall not preclude Seller or its Affiliates from soliciting for employment or engagement any such individual who (A) responds to a general solicitation through a public medium or general or mass mailing by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates that is not targeted at employees of an Acquired Company or (B) contacts Seller or its Affiliates directly on such individual’s own initiative.

-38-

(b) From and after the Closing, no party to this Agreement shall directly or indirectly (including through its Affiliates) disparage any other party to this Agreement or any of its Affiliates, provided, however, nothing in this Section 5.13(b) shall prevent either party from making any statements about the other party during Litigation between the parties or as required by applicable Law or Order.

5.15 Termination of Management Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement dated December 16, 2009 by and among certain Acquired Companies and other Affiliates of Xxxxx Street Capital LLC and Xxxxx Street Management LLC, as amended, is terminated as of the Closing with respect to the Acquired Companies, and the Acquired Companies shall have no continuing rights or obligations of any kind thereunder (b) the Class C Incentive Plan Agreement dated December 16, 2009 by and between Seller and the Company, is terminated as of the Closing with respect to the Company, and the Company shall have no continuing rights or obligations of any kind thereunder, and (c) except as provided in the proviso to Section 5.17(a), no Acquired Company shall have any continuing obligations following the Closing to any VSC Party.

5.16 R&W Insurance Policy. Purchaser shall obtain on the Agreement Date, but effective as of the Closing, an insurance policy having maximum total limits (subject to the terms and conditions therein) of liability of no less than Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company and the Seller in this Agreement and the other matters (if any) covered by such policy, in the form of Exhibit 3 (“R&W Insurance Policy”). The cost of the premiums together with all taxes and application, underwriting or similar or other fees or expenses in connection with the R&W Insurance Policy shall be paid by Purchaser, including those to bind the policy. Purchaser shall take reasonable actions within its control to maintain, shall not voluntarily modify in a manner that would be adverse to Seller, and shall comply in all material respects with the terms of, the R&W Insurance Policy. Prior to Closing, Seller and the Acquired Companies shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser at Purchaser’s expense to enable Purchaser to obtain the R&W Insurance Policy, including facilitating Phase I environmental site assessments as requested by the carrier under such policy.

5.17 Release. Effective as of the Closing:

(a) Seller (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) irrevocably releases and forever discharges each Acquired Company (and, to the extent they would be liable in respect of their position with such Acquired Company, each of their respective directors, officers, employees, members, and equityholders) and the respective successors, agents and assignsof any of the foregoing (each, a “Releasee”) from any and all Liabilities, damages, costs, claims, complaints, charges or causes of action in law or equity that any of them or any of their successors or assigns may now have or may ever have against any of the Releasees, whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise, and whether known or unknown, in any case arising out of any act, omission, event, or circumstance occurring prior to or existing as of the Closing relating to any Acquired Company; provided that this release shall in no way modify or otherwise limit

-39-

(i) any rights arising under or with respect to this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, or the Transactions or (ii) any indemnification rights under applicable Law or the Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies.

(b) The Seller (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that the releases set forth in this Section 5.17 (collectively, the “Seller Release”) are not to be construed in any way as (i) an admission of any liability whatsoever by any Releasee under any Law, or (ii) any such liability having been expressly denied.

(c) Seller may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different from, those that Seller now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Seller Release, and Seller intends that the Seller Release shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete release notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts. In furtherance of the foregoing intention, Seller hereby waives and relinquishes any rights and benefits that it may have as a party granting a release under any applicable Law of any jurisdiction to the full extent that it may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits pertaining to the subject matter of the Seller Release. Seller acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Seller acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, Seller agrees that, effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall be deemed to waive any such provision. Seller further agrees that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall (a) institute a lawsuit or other legal proceeding based upon or arising out of any of the released claims, (b) participate, assist, or cooperate in any such proceeding or (c) encourage, assist and/or solicit any third party to institute any such proceeding.

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS AFTER CLOSING

7.1 Survival; Indemnification.

(a) Survival. If the Closing is consummated, (i) all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any officer’s certificate delivered at Closing (and the corresponding indemnifications in Sections 7.1(b)(i) and 7.1(c)(i)) shall survive until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date at which time they shall terminate, provided, however, that the Company Fundamental Representations, the Seller Fundamental Representations, and the representations and warranties in any officer’s certificate delivered at Closing only as they relate to the Company Fundamental Representations or the Seller Fundamental Representations (and the corresponding indemnifications in Sections 7.1(b)(i) and 7.1(c)(i)) shall survive the Closing Date until the thirtieth (30^th) day after the expiration of the respective statutes of limitations applicable to matters covered thereby, at which time they shall terminate; (ii) the indemnifications in Sections 7.1(b)(iii) and 7.1(b)(iv) shall survive until the

-42-

thirtieth (30^th) day after the expiration of the respective statutes of limitations applicable to matters covered thereby, at which time they shall terminate; (iii) all covenants contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or prior to Closing (and the corresponding indemnifications in Sections 7.1(b)(ii) and 7.1(c)(ii)) shall survive until the three (3) month anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time they shall terminate; and (iv) all other covenants contained in this Agreement that are to be performed after the Closing (and the corresponding indemnifications in Sections 7.1(b)(ii) and 7.1(c)(ii)) shall survive in accordance with their respective terms or until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, as applicable, at which time they shall terminate. The applicable survival period specified in this Section 7.1(a) for a particular representation, warranty or covenant (or indemnification) is referred to as the “Survival Period.” Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if notice of an indemnification claim pursuant to this Article VII has been properly given in accordance with this Article VII within the foregoing applicable Survival Period, such indemnification claim will survive until such time as such claim is finally resolved. Nothing in this clause (a) shall serve to limit a claim against a party in the event of (and arising out of) fraud by such party.

(b) Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall indemnify Purchaser (which, for purposes of this Section 7.1(b) shall include the Acquired Companies) and its Affiliates (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against and in respect of any and all losses incurred by Purchaser (which, for purposes of this Section 7.1(b) shall include the Acquired Companies) to the extent relating to or arising out of:

(i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties (A) of the Company contained in Article II or of Seller in Article III, in each case, as of the Agreement Date or as of the Closing Date as if each representation and warranty in Article II and Article III was made on the Agreement Date and on the Closing Date (or as of a specified date or period of time, with respect to representations and warranties which speak as of a specified date or period of time) or (B) in the officer’s certificate delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.2(c);

(ii) any failure by the Company (prior to Closing) or Seller to perform or comply with its respective covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement;

(iii) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (including any Taxes for which any Acquired Company is liable under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or under any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), as transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise), except to the extent such Taxes were paid prior to Closing, were taken into account in determining the Closing Net Working Capital or the Cash Consideration, or were paid or reimbursed by Seller pursuant to Section 5.6(b)(iii); or

(iv) any Closing Debt or Closing Transaction Expenses, to the extent such amounts did not result in a reduction to the Cash Consideration.

(c) Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller and its

-43-

Affiliates (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against and in respect of any and all losses incurred by the Seller to the extent relating to or arising out of:

(i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties (A) of Purchaser contained in Article IV, in each case, as of the Agreement Date or as of the Closing Date as if each representation and warranty in Article IV was made on the Agreement Date and on the Closing Date (or as of a specified date or period of time, with respect to representations and warranties which speak as of a specified date or period of time) or (B) in the officer’s certificate delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 6.3(c); or

(ii) any failure by Purchaser to perform or comply with its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.

(d) Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, but without limiting the other limitations set forth in this Article VII, the obligations and liabilities of the Seller and Purchaser under Sections 7.1(b) and (c), respectively, shall be subject to the following additional limitations (provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall serve to limit a claim against a party in the event of (and arising out of) fraud by such party):

(i) The Seller shall only have liability or obligation with respect to losses subject to indemnity pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) if the aggregate amount of losses incurred by Purchaser for which Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) exceeds an amount equal to the Deductible and, thereafter, only to the extent of such losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the limitations in this Section 7.1(d)(i) will not apply to claims for breaches of Company Fundamental Representations or Seller Fundamental Representations.

(ii) Waterfall of Recourse After Satisfaction of Section 7.1(d)(i). After application of Section 7.1(d)(i) to the extent applicable (i.e., the Deductible shall not apply to breaches of Company Fundamental Representations or Seller Fundamental Representations), but, for clarity, subject to the other limitations in this Section 7.1(d):

(1) The first recourse for any amount finally determined to be owed in respect of any indemnity obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(b) shall be to the Escrow Account up to, in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (1), the Seller Retention Escrow Amount.

(2) After application of Section 7.1(d)(ii)(1), recourse for any amount finally determined to be owed in respect of any indemnity obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) or Section 7.1(b)(iii) shall be against the R&W Insurance Policy until the earlier of (A) coverage for such amount under the R&W Insurance Policy (including all applicable deductibles and retention amounts thereunder) is exhausted or (B) coverage for such amount under the R&W Insurance Policy is denied by the insurer, it being understood and agreed that the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect under the R&W Insurance Policy (including using reasonable efforts after, and notwithstanding, any such denial), but without any obligation to litigate or arbitrate. For clarity, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have no

-44-

recourse against the Seller or the Escrow Account for any amounts received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(3) So long as Purchaser has complied with its obligations in Section 5.16 and Section 7.1(d)(ii)(2), after application of Section 7.1(d)(ii)(1) and Section 7.1(d)(ii)(2), the next recourse for any amount finally determined to be owed in respect of any indemnity obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(b) shall be against the Escrow Account.

(4) So long as Purchaser has complied with its obligations in Section 5.16 and Section 7.1(d)(ii)(2), after application of Section 7.1(d)(ii)(1) - Section 7.1(d)(ii)(3), recourse for any amount finally determined to be owed in respect of any indemnity obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(b) shall be against Seller directly.

(iii) The Seller’s maximum aggregate indemnification liability pursuant to, and the sole and exclusive recourse for any amount finally determined to be owed in respect of any indemnity obligations pursuant to, Section 7.1(b)(i) (other than for breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations or Company Fundamental Representations) shall be the amounts then held in the Escrow Account, and once the Escrow Account shall be depleted or released all such indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) (other than for breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations or Company Fundamental Representations) shall terminate.

(iv) The Seller’s maximum aggregate indemnification liability under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) - Section 7.1(b)(iv)) shall be limited to the sum of the Closing Cash Payment paid to Seller at Closing plus any amount actually received by Seller after Closing from the Escrow Account plus any amounts paid to Seller after Closing under Section 1.6(e)(i).

(v) No party shall be liable for any losses pursuant to Sections 7.1(b) or (c) unless the party seeking such indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) has delivered (in accordance with Section 10.8) the notice of Claim in respect of such loss required by Section 7.1(f) below to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.

(vi) The word “loss” (and “losses” and other variants thereof) for all purposes under this Agreement shall exclude exemplary or punitive damages except to the extent payable to a third party pursuant to a Third Party Claim.

(vii) Each loss shall be reduced by (A) the amount of any net insurance proceeds (net of deductible paid, directly resulting increased premiums and direct reasonable out of pocket cost of recovery) received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such loss, including amounts received under the R&W Insurance Policy, and (B) any net indemnification, contribution, compensation or other payment paid (net of any direct reasonable out of pocket cost of recovery) to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates by any third party with respect to such loss (any such amount, a “Reimbursement”). If any such Reimbursement is obtained subsequent to payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, then such Reimbursement shall be promptly paid over to the Indemnifying Party.

-45-

(viii) The parties shall be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to multiple provisions of this Article VII, provided, however, that neither the Purchaser Indemnified Parties nor the Seller Indemnified Parties may recover more than once for the same loss.

(ix) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to make claims against the R&W Insurance Policy, nor shall Seller have any right of subrogation, offset or other recovery, under this Agreement or otherwise, against any amounts recovered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(x) To the extent that Purchaser has actual knowledge prior to the Agreement Date that a representation or warranty in Article II or Article III is breached as of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) for such breach.

(e) Exclusive Remedy. From and after Closing, except as provided in Section 1.6, Section 10.13 and the Indemnity Agreement, indemnification under this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable (and including their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns), with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Acquired Companies, or the Transactions including for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered hereunder, and the Seller and Purchaser, as applicable (and including their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns), shall have no other liability to the other party resulting therefrom.

(f) Notice of Claim. If the Indemnified Party shall become aware of any claim, proceeding or other matter (a “Claim”), which may give rise to a loss subject to indemnification hereunder or that will be taken into account for purposes of calculating whether the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation arises pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c) above, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a Claim by a third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise, and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available) the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Claim, if known or estimable. If the Indemnified Party does not promptly give notice of any Claim as specified above, such failure shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification or application to the applicable deductible set forth in Section 7.1(d) hereunder for losses in connection with such Claim, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party’s rights are prejudiced by such failure or its indemnification obligations are increased as a result of such failure.

(g) Third Party Claims.

(i) With respect to any Third Party Claim, unless such Claim is being controlled by the carrier under the R&W Insurance Policy, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense and at its election, to assume control of the negotiation, settlement and defense of such Claim through counsel of its choice; provided, that (1) within ten days after the Indemnified Party has given notice (in accordance with Section 7.1(f)) of the Third Party Claim

-46-

the Indemnifying Party replies in writing to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, (2) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (3) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages, and does not seek an injunction or other similar equitable relief, (4) the monetary damages claimed in the Third Party Claim do not exceed the Escrow Amount (excluding the amount thereof already paid and subject to pending claims), (5) the Third Party Claim does not involve a claim by a key supplier or customer of the Acquired Companies or a Governmental Authority, and (6) the Third Party Claim does not involve a class action lawsuit. The Indemnifying Party shall conduct any such assumed defense actively and diligently. The election of the Indemnifying Party to assume such control shall be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, failing which the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected not to assume such control. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be informed and consulted with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, but the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and a representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest between them (such as the availability of different defenses), in which case the reasonable costs and expenses of a single counsel to the Indemnified Party, who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, shall be included in the losses subject to indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable period of time, subject to Section 7.1(g)(ii), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control. In any circumstance where the Indemnifying Party is not controlling defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to be informed and consulted with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such Third Party Claim.

(ii) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim:

(1) unless such settlement provides for no fault on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides for a full release, in customary form, of the Indemnified Party, and there are no obligations of the Indemnified Party under such settlement other than monetary damages or other monetary payments to be paid for by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and

(2) if the Indemnifying Party has not assumed control of the defense of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may settle such Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (for purposes of clarity, nothing in this Section 7.1(g)(ii)(2) shall prohibit the Indemnifying Party from contesting whether it has indemnification obligations hereunder or the extent thereof).

-47-

(iii) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims and, regardless of which party has control thereof as provided for herein, shall keep each other reasonably advised with respect thereto.

(iv) The Indemnified Party shall not take any action the purpose of which is to prejudice the defense of any Claim subject to indemnification hereunder or to induce a third party to assert a Claim subject to indemnification hereunder.

(h) Other Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.1 to the contrary, the Seller shall not be liable pursuant to Section 7.1(b) for any losses arising out of any matter to the extent that such matter has been taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Debt, the Closing Cash, or the Closing Transaction Expenses or an adjustment to the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of any indemnification payment to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person other than a material supplier or customer of an Acquired Company or, if the applicable policy prohibits subrogation, an insurer of an Acquired Company with respect to the subject matter of the applicable Claim. Nothing herein shall abrogate any party’s obligations under applicable Law to mitigate damages. Solely with respect to indemnification under this Article VII, for purposes of measuring the amount of losses from a breach of a representation or warranty in Article II, III or IV of this Agreement and for purposes of determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty in Article II, III or IV of this Agreement occurred, materiality qualifiers (e.g., “material”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect”, etc.) shall be disregarded as if the representation or warranty was not so qualified.

(i) No Contribution. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Seller shall not have any right to seek any indemnification or contribution from or remedy against the Company whether arising prior to or after the Closing Date in respect of any breach of any representation or warranty hereunder by the Company or the failure of the Company to comply with any covenant or agreement hereunder to be performed by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date and the Seller hereby waives any such claim it may have against the Company with respect thereto whether at law, in equity or otherwise.

(j) Coordination with Carrier. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent required by the carrier of the R&W Insurance Policy in connection with any claim made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party thereunder, the conduct of the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim will be assigned to counsel selected or approved by the carrier of the R&W Insurance Policy, or otherwise conducted in coordination with the carrier of the R&W Insurance Policy, in each case without prejudice to the rights of the parties hereunder, and Seller and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will reasonably cooperate at Purchaser’s expense with the carrier of the R&W Insurance Policy and such counsel in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim and otherwise comply with the requirements of the R&W Insurance Policy applicable to such party in connection therewith.

7.2 No Right of Off-Set/Set-Off. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Seller nor Purchaser shall have any right to set off any amount to which it claims to be entitled from any other party, including any amounts that may be owed under this

-48-

Article VII or otherwise, against amounts otherwise payable under any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Treatment of Indemnity Payment. Any indemnity payment made to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Cash Consideration for all tax, financial reporting and other purposes.
