The “Working Capital Amount” shall mean, as of a particular date, an amount equal to (i) the consolidated current assets of Seller minus (ii) the consolidated current liabilities of Seller (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, long-term portion of any liabilities and deferred Tax liabilities that solely relate to the difference between book income and taxable income), in each case calculated in accordance and consistently with the past practices of Seller (“Seller Accounting Practices”). In calculating the Working Capital Amount, the calculation shall be performed in a manner consistent with the example of the net working capital calculation attached hereto as Annex A. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the calculation of the Working Capital Amount, all deferred Tax liabilities of Seller shall be properly accrued on the balance sheet contained in the unaudited, consolidating management reports for Seller in accordance and consistently with its past practices, as adjusted in this Section 1.6(a) and Annex A attached hereto.

5

(b) Post-Closing Determination. Within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer, or its designee, will conduct a review of the Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Working Capital Amount”) and will prepare and deliver to the Seller’s Representative a balance sheet as of 12:00:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”), together with a computation of the Closing Date Working Capital Amount and the Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount (as defined below). The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of the balance sheet contained in the unaudited management reports for Seller as of March 31, 2010. The Closing Date Working Capital Amount shall be adjusted to: (i) (x) add the amount of any net increase in net fixed assets (including notes receivables of shareholders as set forth on Annex A) of Seller from March 31, 2010 to the Closing Date, or (y) subtract the amount of any net decrease in net fixed assets (including notes receivables of shareholders as set forth on Annex A) of Seller from March 31, 2010 to the Closing Date, and (ii) (x) add the amount of any net decrease in long term Indebtedness of Seller from March 31, 2010 to the Closing Date or (y) subtract the amount of any net increase in long term Indebtedness of Seller from March 31, 2010 to the Closing Date (as so adjusted, (the “Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount”).

Seller and Buyer will make available to the Seller’s Representative all information, data, records and work papers used in preparing the Closing Date Balance Sheet and calculating the working capital adjustment hereunder and such other records and work papers as are necessary for the Seller’s Representative to review the calculations and to resolve any disputed related thereto, including without limitation access to (and the ability to make copies of) the books and records of Seller. Buyer further agrees to make its personnel and accountants available to explain any information, data, records and work papers used in preparing the Closing Date Balance Sheet and calculating the working capital adjustment hereunder.

If the Seller’s Representative disagrees with the computation of the Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount or the items reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Seller’s Representative may, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, deliver a notice (a “Working Capital Objection Notice”) to Buyer identifying with reasonable specificity those items of the Closing Date Balance Sheet prepared by Buyer to which the Seller’s Representative is objecting and the amounts with respect thereto that the Seller’s Representative asserts to be the correct amounts and setting forth the Seller’s Representative’s calculation of the Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount. If the Seller’s Representative does not deliver a Working Capital Objection Notice within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then the Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be finally determined as the amount calculated by Buyer. If the Seller’s Representative timely delivers a Working Capital Objection Notice to Buyer, the Seller’s Representative and Buyer will use reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreement as to the computation of the Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount as soon as practicable, but if they cannot reach a final resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after Buyer has received the Working Capital Objection Notice, Buyer and the Seller’s Representative will jointly retain a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized national standing (the “Working Capital Firm”) to resolve their disagreement. If Buyer and the Seller’s Representative are

6

unable to agree on the choice of the Working Capital Firm, then the Working Capital Firm will be an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing selected by lot (after excluding one firm designated by Buyer and one firm designated by the Seller’s Representative). Buyer and the Seller’s Representative will direct the Working Capital Firm to render a determination as promptly as practicable but in no event later than forty-five (45) calendar days of its retention. Buyer and the Seller’s Representative and their respective agents will cooperate fully with the Working Capital Firm during its engagement to facilitate its resolution of the remaining disputes, including by providing the information, data, records, and work papers used by each party to calculate the adjustment amount due and the remaining disputes, and making its personnel and accountants available to explain any such information, data, records, or work papers. The Working Capital Firm will consider only those items and amounts in the Closing Date Balance Sheet set forth in the Working Capital Objection Notice which Buyer and the Seller’s Representative are unable to resolve. In resolving any disputed item, the Working Capital Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Working Capital Firm’s determination will be based on such review as the Working Capital Firm deems necessary to make its determination, and on the definition of the Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount included herein. The determination of the Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount by the Working Capital Firm will be conclusive and binding upon Buyer, the Seller’s Representative and Seller, in the absence of fraud or manifest error. Each of the parties shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the work of the Working Capital Firm. Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall bear the costs and expenses of the Working Capital Firm based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by or on behalf of such party. The Adjusted Closing Date Working Capital Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6(b), is referred to herein as the “Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount.”

(c) Payment of Working Capital Adjustments. (i) If the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount exceeds the Baseline Working Capital Amount, Buyer shall, within five (5) business days after the determination thereof, pay to Seller an amount equal to the amount by which (A) the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount exceeds (B) the Baseline Working Capital Amount. Such payment shall be payable by Buyer to Seller in accordance with written instructions to be provided by the Seller’s Representative to Buyer no less than two (2) business days after the determination thereof. Such payment shall be made by Buyer to Seller in cash, by cashier’s or certified check, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds in United States Dollars to the accounts designated by Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(ii) If the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount is less than the Baseline Working Capital Amount, Buyer shall be entitled to receive an amount by which (A) the Baseline Working Capital Amount exceeds (B) the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount. Buyer shall be permitted to withdraw such amount from the Escrow Account maintained with respect to Seller and the Seller’s Representative shall cooperate in providing the joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent with respect thereto.

7

(iii) If, pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above, a dispute exists as to the final determination of the Actual Closing Date Working Capital Amount, Buyer, on one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall promptly pay to the other, as appropriate in accordance with Sections 1.6(c)(i) and 1.6(c)(ii), such amounts as are not in dispute, pending final determination of such dispute pursuant to Section 1.6(b).

1.7. Joinder of Certain Stockholders. Prior to the Closing, Stockholders will use reasonable efforts to cause the Joinder Parties to join this Agreement as described in Section 4.1(r). For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement will be binding upon and enforceable against the parties who have signed this Agreement whether or not any or all of the Joinder Parties sign; provided, as set forth in Section 4.1(r), Buyer shall not be required to close unless all of the Stockholders shall sign this Agreement (including through the Joinder Agreement).

1.8. Allocation. The parties shall cooperate to prepare an allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The parties agree that the Purchase Price Allocation will bind them for federal, state, local, and foreign income tax purposes in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and will be consistently reflected by them on any tax returns or reports they file or prepare.

41

this Section 5.2, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party is entitled to receive a payment in respect of such claim by virtue of Section 5.1(c)), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim as promptly as practicable, which written notice shall describe the nature of such claim in reasonable detail, the facts and circumstances that give rise to such claim and the amount of such claim if reasonably ascertainable at the time such claim is made (or if not then reasonably ascertainable, the maximum amount of such claim reasonably estimated by the Indemnified Party); provided, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. In the case of a claim by a Buyer Indemnitee, such written notice shall be provided by the Indemnified Party to the Seller’s Representative, with a copy provided to the Escrow Agent. In the event that within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such a written notice from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall not have received from the Indemnifying Party a written objection to such claim, such claim shall be conclusively presumed and considered to have been assented to and approved by the Indemnifying Party following receipt by the Indemnifying Party (and, in the case of a claim by a Buyer Indemnitee, the Escrow Agent) of a written notice from the Indemnified Party to such effect.

(b) If within the thirty (30) day period described in paragraph (a) above the Indemnified Party (and, in the case of claim by a Buyer Indemnitee, the Escrow Agent) shall have received from the Indemnifying Party a written notice setting forth the Indemnifying Party’s objections to such claim and the Indemnifying Party’s reasons for such objection, then Buyer and the Seller’s Representative shall negotiate in good faith for a period of ten (10) Business Days from the date the Indemnified Party receives such objection (such period is hereinafter referred to as the “Negotiation Period”). After the Negotiation Period, if Buyer and Seller’s Representative still cannot agree on the claim, Buyer and the Seller’s Representative shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.9 below with respect to the resolution of such matter.

(c) Upon determination of the amount of a claim that is binding on both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the amount of such claim shall be paid within ten (10) business days of the date such amount is determined. If the Indemnifying Party responsible for payment of such claim is Buyer, such payment shall be made by wire transfer to Seller. If the Indemnifying Party responsible for payment of such claim is Seller, such payment shall be made in accordance with this Article V including Section 5.5 below.

5.3. Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article V in respect of any legal proceeding, action, claim or demand instituted by a third Person (a “Third Party Claim”) shall give the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification with respect to such claim is sought (i) prompt written notice (but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party acquires knowledge thereof) of such Third Party Claim and (ii) copies of all documents and information relating to any such Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) days of their being obtained by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify or provide copies to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice or provide such copies.

42

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days (or such lesser time as may be necessary to comply with statutory response requirements for litigation claims that are included in any Third Party Claim) from receipt of the notice contemplated in Section 5.3(a) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party will, at its sole cost and expense, defend the Indemnified Party against such claim. If the Indemnifying Party timely gives notice that it intends to defend the Third Party Claim, it shall have the right, except as hereafter provided, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with the Third Party Claim and to be represented by counsel of its own choice, and the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect thereto or settle, compromise, pay or discharge the same without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, so long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting or defending the same with reasonable diligence and in good faith; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense; provided further, that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement of any such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall be not unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party or involves other matters not binding upon the Indemnified Party; and provided further that, in the event the Indemnifying Party does not agree in writing to accept the defense of, and assume all responsibility for, such Third Party Claim as provided above in this Section 5.3(b), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with the Third Party Claim in such manner as the Indemnified Party deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification therefor from the Indemnifying Party to the extent provided under this Article V.

5.4. Insurance; Other Indemnity. The amount of any claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be computed net of (a) insurance proceeds received by such Indemnified Party on account of such claim and (b) aggregate amounts covered or reasonably recoverable under any indemnity agreement, contribution agreement, or other contract between an Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and any third party, on the other hand.

5.5. Escrow; Release of Escrow Amounts. For a period of two (2) years beginning on the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”), the Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. To the extent that indemnification claims, if any, become payable by Seller Parties under the provisions of Section 5.1 of this Agreement, the parties will satisfy those claims using the Escrow Amount. Upon expiration of the Escrow Period, any Escrow Amount which remains in said escrow and is not subject to an outstanding claim made prior to such expiration by Buyer shall be released by the Escrow Agent to Seller pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

5.6. Adjustments. Any indemnification payments made under this Article V shall be considered an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

5.7. Remedies. The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the matters set forth in Article V, and no party shall have any cause of

43

action or remedy at law or in equity for breach of contract, rescission, tort or otherwise against any other party arising under or in connection with this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, and except with respect to claims under Section 3.6 and Section 6.1 through Section 6.4, in which case each of the parties shall each have and retain all other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or equity, including without limitation, any rights for specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief.

5.8. Mitigation. Buyer agrees that in the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation of the Seller Parties hereunder, Buyer shall take, or cooperate with Seller Parties, if so requested by the Seller’s Representative, in order to take, all reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of the related breach (including taking steps to prevent any contingent liability from becoming an actual liability).

ARTICLE VI

For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable period under this Section 6.2 for Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mate and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Honarvar shall be a five (5) year period.

6.3. Non-Solicitation of Employees.

44

6.4. Authorization to Modify Restrictions. It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, but that the unenforceability (or modification to conform to such law) of any provision or provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If any provision or provisions of such sections shall be deemed illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, either in whole or in part, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the offending provision or provisions and to alter the bounds thereof to render it valid and enforceable.

6.5. 50^th Anniversary Celebration. Buyer agrees to honor the General Monitors brand and its 50^th Anniversary by holding a proper celebration commensurate with such milestone on or before February 1, 2012 and to maintain the intrinsic value of the General Monitors brand at least through such date.

6.6. Employees. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the sixty-first (61^st) day following the Closing Date, Buyer shall employ each of the current employees of Seller and provide each current employee who remains employed with Buyer with benefits for at least one year following the Closing Date that are the same as, or as to each employee substantially comparable to, the position, compensation and employee benefits, plans and programs (including, but not limited to, life insurance, welfare, profit sharing, 401(k), severance, salary continuation and fringe benefits) currently provided by Seller. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall notify Seller’s employees of their termination of employment effective upon the Closing Date and Buyer shall notify such employees that same will be immediately rehired by Buyer effective upon the Closing Date, with continued uninterrupted participation in prior benefit plans except to the extent not possible pursuant to applicable law or reasons beyond the control of Buyer. Following the Closing, Buyer shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to, (a) waive limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods to the extent such conditions, exclusions, and waiting periods have been satisfied under the employee benefit plans with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the employees of the Seller under any welfare plan that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Closing Date, (b) provide each employee of the Seller with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any welfare plans that such employees are eligible to participate in after the Closing Date, (c) provide each employee of the Seller with service credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting under any medical, dental, life insurance, disability, supplemental employment and other welfare plan of Buyer in which such employee is entitled to participate and for purposes of vacations and other leave programs; provided, that in no event will service credit for periods prior to Closing be used for purposes of calculating 401(k) or retirement benefits or for determining eligibility for retirement benefits, unless otherwise specified in any such plan. As of the Closing Date, all medical, dental, life insurance, disability, supplemental unemployment, and other welfare plan expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by any employee of the Seller or his or her covered dependents prior to, on, or after the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to have benefit plans transferred with existing funding arrangements and service agreements and to prevent loans from defaulting. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate in good faith, to reach a mutually and reasonably acceptable resolution

45

(the “Benefit Plan Resolution”) with respect to the 401(k), medical and other welfare benefit plans covering employees of the Seller (including without limitation potentially having any and all rights, obligations, and responsibilities under such plans and the related funding arrangements and service agreements assumed by Buyer, or such other resolution which is mutually and reasonably acceptable to the parties).

6.8. Payment of Wages. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all wages, vacation, and other compensation required to be paid to terminated employees of Seller under applicable law due to employees with respect to their service as employees through the close of business on the Closing Date, including pro rata bonus payments to which such employees may be entitled.

6.9. Retirement Plan. Seller shall take action to cease participation in the General Monitors Savings For Retirement Plan effective as of the Closing.

Seller shall notify Buyer prior to Closing if the transfer of the plan to Buyer as of the Closing pursuant to (x) or (y) above is not possible and in that event Seller shall take action to terminate the Plan prior to Closing.

6.10. Real Estate. The parties shall cooperate in good faith with respect to any real estate filings which must be made pursuant to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

6.11. Products Liability Coverage.

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreements.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from this Agreement and of the representations, warranties, conditions, agreements and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Appointment of Escrow Agent; Establishment of Escrow Account

(a) The Escrow Agent is hereby appointed as escrow agent hereunder and agrees to act on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

(b) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer and its subsidiaries shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the aggregate sum of $38,000,000 to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent accepts said funds and agrees to establish and maintain a separate account (the “Escrow Account”) therefor in its capacity as Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The purpose of the Escrow Account is to provide a source of funds for any post-closing indemnification and working capital adjustment payment obligations of the Sellers pursuant to the Purchase Agreements. The Escrow Account shall be divided into the following sub-accounts:

(i) $19,630,400 for the benefit of GMI (the “GMI Account”);

(ii) $6,584,300 for the benefit of the GMIL Shareholders (the “GMIL Account”);

(iii) $10,882,700 for the benefit of the GMT Members (the “GMT Account”);

(iv) $108,000 for the benefit of the Electrasem Minority Holders (the “Electrasem Account”);

- 2 -

(v) $326,400 for the benefit of the GMS Minority Shareholders (the “GMS Account”); and

(vi) $468,200 for the benefit of the Gassonic Minority Holders (the “Gassonic Account”).

The GMI Account, GMIL Account, GMT Account, Electrasem Account, GMS Account and Gassonic Account shall each be a “sub-Escrow Account” and collectively the “sub-Escrow Accounts.”

(c) In the event funds transfer instructions (“Funds Transfer Instructions”) are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Agreement), whether in writing or by telecopier, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Exhibit A hereto, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. Each Funds Transfer Instruction shall be executed by an authorized signatory; a list of such authorized signatories is set forth on Exhibit A. The undersigned is authorized to certify that the signatories on Exhibit A are authorized signatories. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the authorized representatives for either Buyer or Sellers’ Representative identified in Exhibit A, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of the executive officers of Buyer (“Executive Officers”) which shall include the titles of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer, or Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be, as the Escrow Agent may select. The Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such Executive Officer. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to confirm any Funds Transfer Instructions or other instructions or directions given in accordance with this Agreement and may rely on any Funds Transfer Instructions given in writing or by telecopier which the Escrow Agent believes in good faith to be signed by an authorized signatory set forth on Exhibit A.

Section 2. Investment; Income Reporting

(a) The Escrow Agent shall invest (and reinvest as appropriate), all funds held in the Escrow Account as specifically directed in this Section 2. The Escrow Agent shall have no investment discretion over the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall invest all funds held into the Fidelity Institutional Money Market Funds (Money Market/Prime Money Market (AAA)). Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative instruct Escrow Agent to vote all proxies in accordance with the proxy policy in effect from time to time for the Escrow Agent unless otherwise specifically instructed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative specifically acknowledge that Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative understand that this provision may involve the Escrow Agent’s voting shares of mutual funds that pay fees to the Escrow Agent or its affiliates and that, in voting such shares, the Escrow Agent may be in a position to vote to change fees paid at the mutual fund level to itself or to an affiliate.

- 3 -

(b) The Escrow Account will be invested in investments, including without limitation, shares of mutual funds, which are not insured by the FDIC, are not deposits of or guaranteed by the Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates and are subject to investment risks, including the loss of principal. In addition, shares of money market mutual funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by any Governmental Authority and there can be no assurance that a money market mutual fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

(c) The parties recognize and agree that the Escrow Agent will not provide supervision, recommendations or advice relating to either the investment of moneys held in the Escrow Account or the purchase, sale, retention or other disposition of any investment described herein. The Escrow Agent in its capacity as escrow agent hereunder shall have no liability for any loss sustained as a result of (i) any investment made pursuant to the instructions of the parties hereto; (ii) the liquidation of any investment; (iii) the failure of the parties to give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Escrow Account or any earnings thereon; or (iv) any investment held by the Escrow Agent in the event the parties fail to give investment instructions.

(d) No investment shall mature after the conclusion of the Escrow Release Date (as defined below). Interest and other income, dividends and earnings (“Escrow Earnings”) on investments described herein shall be added to the sub-Escrow Account. Any loss or expense incurred as a result of an investment will be borne by the sub-Escrow Account and the Escrow Agent shall in no event be liable for any loss or expense incurred as a result of an investment made in accordance with this Agreement.

(e) The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of investments through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations or those of any affiliated entity. The Escrow Agent shall send statements to each of the parties hereto on a monthly basis reflecting activity in the Escrow Account for the preceding month, which statement shall include without limitation information regarding any deposits and disbursements in each sub-Escrow Account and a separate statement reflecting the investment detail, including the balance, purchases, sales, and interest postings of each sub-Escrow Account. Although Buyer and Sellers’ Representative each recognizes that it may obtain a broker confirmation or written statement containing comparable information at no additional cost, both parties hereby agree that confirmations of investments are not required to be issued by the Escrow Agent for each month in which a monthly statement is rendered. However, no statement need be rendered for the Escrow Account if no activity occurred for such month.

(f) Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative acknowledge and agree that the delivery of the escrowed property is subject to the sale and final settlement of investments described herein. Proceeds of a sale of investments will be delivered on the business day on which the appropriate instructions are delivered to the Escrow Agent if received prior to the deadline for same day sale of such investments. If such instructions are received after the applicable deadline, proceeds will be delivered on the next succeeding business day.

- 4 -

(g) For purposes of (i) allocating pro rata among the Sellers, in accordance with their percentage interests as set forth on Exhibit B, Escrow Earnings with respect to such Seller’s applicable sub-Escrow Account, if any, and (ii) IRS information reporting, if required, the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to report all Escrow Earnings, if any, earned in respect of the Escrow Account in accordance with the IRS Forms W-9 provided to the Escrow Agent by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers, with such reporting to be made by the Escrow Agent pro rata based on the respective percentage interests of the Sellers as set forth on Exhibit B (as such Exhibit B shall be updated or amended from time to time) with respect to such Seller’s applicable sub-Escrow Account.

Section 3. Disbursement of Escrow Account

(a) Subject to paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) below, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to disburse to the Sellers all of the funds in the sub-Escrow Accounts, plus the income or interest earned thereon, if any, less an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Outstanding Claim Amounts, on [two years from closing date], 2012 (the “Escrow Release Date”) pursuant to written instructions from Sellers’ Representative which may be in the form of an excel spreadsheet (in a format acceptable to the Escrow Agent) that shall include each Seller’s name, address, taxpayer identification number, payment instruction and payment amount that indicates the disbursement amount for each Seller from each sub-Escrow Account. Disbursements pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days) following the Escrow Release Date. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Outstanding Claim Amount” means the aggregate amount of Damages (as defined in the applicable Purchase Agreement under which such Claim is being sought) which is set forth in a Claim (as defined below) delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Sellers’ Representative prior to the Escrow Release Date and with respect to which and to the extent that it remains unresolved and no distribution has been made prior to the Escrow Release Date pursuant to this Section 3. Outstanding Claim Amounts shall be distributed to the Sellers and/or to Buyer, as is appropriate, upon the final resolution of such Outstanding Claim Amounts (notwithstanding that such final resolution shall not have occurred until after the Escrow Release Date) as evidenced by (A) joint written instructions from the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer as to the disposition of the Outstanding Claim Amount or (B) an order of a court having jurisdiction over the matter which is final and not subject to further court proceedings or appeal (which shall also be sent to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, as applicable, by the party providing such final, nonappealable order to the Escrow Agent); provided, however, that any Outstanding Claim Amounts which may be finally resolved in favor of the Sellers prior to the Escrow Release Date shall not give rise to any distribution to the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative prior to the Escrow Release Date. Upon receipt of any such instructions or order, the Escrow Agent shall disburse an amount of funds equal to the Outstanding Claim Amount in accordance therewith, provided that the Escrow Agent shall at all times hold funds in the applicable sub-Escrow Account which are sufficient to cover the aggregate amount of all then Outstanding Claim Amounts held against such sub-Escrow Account, or if the amount of funds is not then sufficient to cover the aggregate amount of all then Outstanding Claim Amounts held against the applicable sub-Escrow Account, the entire balance of such sub-Escrow Account.

- 5 -

(b) From time to time prior to the Escrow Release Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the applicable Purchase Agreement, Buyer may deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice (a “Claim”) requesting disbursement to Buyer of a specified amount of funds in full or partial payment of (i) (x) a Claim under Section 1.4(c)(ii) or (iii) of the GMT Purchase Agreement (working capital adjustment provisions), (y) a Claim under Section 1.6(c)(ii) or (iii) of the GMI Purchase Agreement (working capital adjustment provisions), or (z) a Claim under Section 1.4(c)(ii) or (iii) of the GMIL Purchase Agreement (working capital adjustment provisions); or (ii) an indemnification obligation of the Sellers to a Buyer Indemnitee (as defined in the applicable Purchase Agreement under which such a Claim is being sought) for Damages (as defined in the applicable Purchase Agreement under which such a Claim is being sought) in respect of which such Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 5.1(a) of such Purchase Agreement (other than any Minority Purchase Agreement), and Section 3.1(a) of the applicable Minority Purchase Agreement (any of which shall be referred to herein as a “Claim Amount”), along with a delivery receipt or other appropriate proof of delivery to the Sellers’ Representative of any Claim. In order to be validly asserted, each such Claim shall specify in reasonable detail the facts upon which the Claim is based, the section(s) of the applicable Purchase Agreement with respect to which indemnification is claimed, the appropriate sub-Escrow Account from which the Buyer alleges a right to have the Claim paid, and the Claim Amount, or if a Claim Amount is not finally quantified, a reasonable, good faith estimate of such Claim Amount (a copy of which shall be provided to Sellers’ Representative at the same time it is provided to the Escrow Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, each Claim and Claim Amount shall apply only to the sub-Escrow Account specified in the written notice provided by Buyer and such Claim or Claim Amount shall not affect any other sub-Escrow Account established herein; provided that Claims under the indemnities for [insert Big Branch Mine indemnity sections] may be made without regard to sub-Accounts. If a Claim Amount is finally quantified, and if the Escrow Agent is not in receipt of a written objection from the Sellers’ Representative to such Claim within thirty (30) days following the date of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Claim (a copy of which shall be provided to Buyer by the Sellers’ Representative at the same time it is provided to the Escrow Agent), then on the 31^st day following such receipt (or if the 31^st day is not a business day for the Escrow Agent, then on the first business day after the 31^st day), the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Buyer an amount of funds equal to the Claim Amount identified in the Claim from the appropriate sub-Escrow Account referenced in the Claim.

(c) If the Escrow Agent is in receipt of a written objection, received within thirty (30) days following the date of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a Claim, from the Sellers’ Representative (a copy of which shall be provided to Buyer) to a Claim requesting a distribution of a Claim Amount, the Escrow Agent shall not make the payment to Buyer of the Outstanding Claim Amount until such time as it receives (A) joint written instructions from the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer as to the disposition of the Outstanding Claim Amount or (B) an order of a court having jurisdiction over the matter which is final and not subject to further court proceedings or appeal. Upon receipt of any such instructions or order, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Outstanding Claim Amount in accordance therewith.

(d) The following amounts shall be available for Claims (as defined below) under this Agreement, plus any related Escrow Earnings:

(e) In connection with any court order with respect to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to receive an opinion of counsel to the presenting party to the effect that such order is final and nonappealable and from a court of competent jurisdiction.

Please indicate your acceptance of these terms and intent to be legally bound by signing a copy of this Agreement and returning it to me.

1. Employment. Your title will be President and Chief Executive Officer of each of the General Monitor companies. You agree to use your best efforts to perform the duties required by and customarily associated with such position and such other duties not inconsistent therewith as may be assigned to you from time to time by the President and CEO of MSA. You agree to devote your full business time, attention and energies to the business of the Company and its affiliates (except for paid-time-off and any period of disability), and, except as provided in this Section 1 or permitted under Section 2 below, you shall not engage in any other business or employment activity. You may accept appointment to or continue to serve on the board of directors or trustees of any charitable or non-profit organization and manage your personal investments; provided in each case that such activities do not conflict or interfere with the performance of your duties hereunder. You will, if so requested, become a Director or an Officer of any controlling or controlled company and remain in such capacity without any additional remuneration. You also agree to resign as a Director or Officer upon separation from employment.

2. Outside Business Activity. Except as declared in Exhibit A, you are not a promoter, substantial stockholder, director, employee or officer of or consultant to a business

^1/ To be revised to reflect final deal structure.

organized for profit nor will you become a promoter, substantial stockholder, director, employee or officer of, or consultant to such a business while employed by the Company without first obtaining the prior written approval of the President and CEO of MSA. Should you become a promoter, substantial stockholder, director, employee or officer of, or a consultant to a business organized for profit upon obtaining such prior written approval, you understand that you have a continuing obligation to advise the President and CEO of MSA at such time as any activity of either the Company or such other business presents you with a conflict of interest as an employee of the Company. Should any matter or dealings in which you are now involved or hereafter become involved, on your own behalf or as an employee of the Company, appear to present a possible conflict of interest under the Company policy then in effect, you will promptly disclose the facts to the President and CEO of MSA so that a determination can be made as to whether a conflict of interest does exist. You will take whatever action is requested of you by MSA to resolve any conflict which it finds to exist.

3. No Conflicts. You represent to MSA that neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the performance of your obligations under this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a breach of any other agreement or obligation including, without limitation, any contractual or fiduciary duty owed by you to any former employer.

You will be an at-will employee who may resign or may be terminated at any time, with or without “cause.” Nothing in

3

this Agreement shall provide you with the right to continued employment with the Company. You agree to resign immediately from all official positions with the Company and any of its affiliates upon termination of your employment for any reason.

(b) For Cause. If your employment is terminated by the Company for “cause,” the Company’s obligation under this Agreement will terminate immediately upon notice by the Company and payment of the Accrued Amounts. For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” means (i) your conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony; (ii) your engaging in an act or acts of dishonesty, fraud, or gross misconduct which result or are intended to result in damage to the Company’s business or reputation; (iii) failure by you to substantially perform your duties hereunder (other than due to disability) which remains uncured for more than 10 days following your receipt of written notice thereof from the Company; or (iv) any conduct on your part contributing to, or any failure to correct deficiencies directly or indirectly resulting in, financial restatements or irregularities. “Accrued Amounts” means (w) any unpaid base salary at the rate then in effect through the date of termination and any accrued but unused vacation through the date of termination; (x) any unpaid bonus earned with respect to any period ending on or preceding the date of termination; (y) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination; and (z) all other payments or benefits to which you may be entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit program or this Agreement; provided, further that Accrued Amounts shall not include any pro-rata or other bonus amounts except as provided in subclause (x). Except to the extent otherwise required by law, Accrued Amounts shall be paid as follows: Accrued Amounts specified in subclause (w) shall be paid on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following separation from service; Accrued Amounts specified in subclause (x) shall be paid at the time and in the form provided in the underlying bonus plan or arrangement; Accrued Amounts specified in subclause (y) shall be paid as provided in the Company’s expense reimbursement policy and as provided in this Agreement; and Accrued Amounts specified in subclause (z) shall be paid as provided in the compensation arrangement, benefit program or this Agreement, as applicable.

(c) Without Cause. If your employment is terminated by the Company without cause, as your exclusive remedy, you shall (i) be paid the Accrued Amounts, and a pro-rated annual bonus and pro-rated quarterly bonus for the year and

4

quarter in which your employment terminates (calculated using your target bonus for such year and quarter, which shall be calculated presuming all metrics are achieved at “target”) (“Pro-Rated Bonus”), upon the effective date of your separation from service, with Accrued Amounts payable as provided herein and the Pro-Rated Bonus payable on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the 30 day anniversary of your separation from service, and (ii) continue to receive your then-current base salary together with your annual bonus and your quarterly bonuses (calculated using your target bonus for such year and quarters during such year and presuming all metrics achieved at “target”) (“Continuation Pay”) payable in the usual way through January 31, 2012 (the “Salary Continuation Period”), commencing on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the 30 day anniversary of your separation from service and will be subject to legally required withholding; provided, however, if you are a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (“Section 409A”) then, to the extent (if any) that this Paragraph 7(c) provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, no such deferred compensation shall be paid during the six-month period following your separation from service and, to the extent otherwise payable during such period, shall be aggregated and paid on the first business day following the six-month anniversary of your separation from service. You will also continue to receive the same level of medical and dental benefits as are available to you at the time of your termination, at the Company’s expense under the COBRA program, for the duration of the Salary Continuation Period, to the extent such benefits can be provided to you on a non-taxable basis. The Company’s obligation to make payments and provide benefits during the Salary Continuation Period is contingent upon you first signing a general waiver and release and the expiration of any associated revocation period within 30 days following your separation from service, in a reasonable form presented by the Company and your full compliance with all provisions in this Agreement including, but not limited to, Sections 8 through 10.

(d) Good Reason. If you resign your employment for “Good Reason” during the term of this Agreement and not for voluntary termination as provided in Section 7(e), as your exclusive remedy, you shall (i) be paid the Accrued Amounts and the Pro-Rated Bonus, upon the effective date of your separation from service, with Accrued Amounts payable as provided herein and the Pro-Rated Bonus payable on the

5

first regularly scheduled payroll date following the 30 day anniversary of your separation from service, and (ii) Continuation Pay payable in the usual way through the Salary Continuation Period, commencing on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the 30 day anniversary of your separation from service and will be subject to legally required withholding; provided, however, if you are a “specified employee” under Section 409A then, to the extent (if any) that this Paragraph 7(d) provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, no such deferred compensation shall be paid during the six-month period following your separation from service and, to the extent otherwise payable during such period, shall be aggregated and paid on the first business day following the six-month anniversary of your separation from service. You will also continue to receive the same level of medical and dental benefits as are available to you at the time of your termination, at the Company’s expense under the COBRA program, for the duration of the Salary Continuation Period, to the extent such benefits can be provided to you on a non-taxable basis. The Company’s obligation to make payments and provide benefits during the Salary Continuation Period is contingent upon you first signing a general waiver and release and the expiration of any associated revocation period within 30 days following your separation from service, in a reasonable form presented by the Company and your full compliance with all provisions in this Agreement including, but not limited to, Sections 8 through 10. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means: (A) any material adverse change in your position, duties, or authority as contemplated by this Agreement and as effective following acquisition of the Company by MSA; (B) a material diminution in your annual base salary or target bonus percentage; (C) the relocation of your principal place of employment to a location more than 35 miles from your principal place of employment upon the date of this Agreement; or (D) a breach by the Company of a material provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that you must provide notice to the Company of any such act or failure to act within 90 days of the initial existence of such act or failure to act, and, if the Company remedies and corrects such act or failure to act during the period of 30 days following your notice, such act or failure to act shall not constitute “Good Reason” under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the mere occurrence of the acquisition of the Company by MSA be deemed to constitute Good Reason.

6

(e) Resignation without Good Reason. You may voluntarily terminate your employment (i.e., without Good Reason) at any time and you agree to give the Company thirty (30) days’ written notice of the termination of your employment with the Company. Upon the effective date of such termination, the Company shall pay to you the Accrued Amounts.

(f) Death. If you die during your employment with the Company, the Company will pay your estate any Accrued Amounts and the Pro-Rated Bonus within 30 days of your death.

(g) Disability. If, during the term of this Agreement, you become disabled within the meaning of Section 409A, even with reasonable accommodations made by the Company on your behalf, the Company shall have the right to terminate your employment and this Agreement, in which event you shall be entitled to (i) the Accrued Amounts and the Pro-Rated Bonus, upon the effective date of your separation from service, with Accrued Amounts payable as provided herein and the Pro-Rated Bonus payable on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the 30 day anniversary of your separation from service, and (ii) your then-current base salary payable on regularly scheduled payroll dates for a period of three (3) months following your separation from service.

(h) No Other Payments or Benefits. You will not be eligible to receive severance or similar payments or benefits under any plan of the Company or MSA, except as provided in this Section 7.

8. Noncompetition. You agree that you will not at any time during your employment with the Company directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected as a director, officer, employee, partner, lender, consultant or otherwise with, any business, entity or organization of any kind, in any part of the world, which competes with any part of the business of the Company, MSA or its affiliates, as such business is then conducted. Ownership of less than 5% of the securities of any publicly traded company will not violate this Section 8. You recognize and acknowledge that it is an essential part of the acquisition of the Company by MSA, for the proper protection of the business of the Company and the integration of its operations within MSA that you be restrained from competing against the Company and MSA or from soliciting or inducing any employee of

7

the Company or MSA to leave their employ, in each case for the reasonable period provided herein, and that your compliance with Sections 8-10 herein will not prevent you from earning your livelihood.

9. Employee-Nonsolicitation. You agree that you will not at any time during your employment with the Company or following your separation from employment for any reason for a two year period commencing upon the date of your separation, (i) solicit, entice or induce any individual that currently is, or at any time during the one year will be, an employee of the Company, MSA or any of its affiliates to become employed by any other person, firm, corporation, partnership or other business entity whatsoever (other than the Company or its affiliates), or (ii) approach any such employee for such purpose or authorize, or participate with, or assist in the taking of such actions by any other person, firm or corporation.

10. Non-Disclosure. You agree not to disclose to anyone outside of the Company, use in other than the Company’s business, nor disclose to anyone within the Company who does not have a need-to-know, any technical or non-technical information or material which gives the Company an advantage over others who do not know it (“proprietary information”) relating in any way to the business of the Company, except with the Company’s written permission. You shall not disclose to the Company nor induce the Company to use any proprietary information of others. You further agree that upon termination of your employment with the Company, all records and all proprietary information of the Company including copies thereof in your possession, whether prepared by you or others, shall be so identified and shall be surrendered to and left with the Company. Further, you agree that all other property of whatsoever kind or nature belonging to the Company shall also be left with the Company. This obligation shall continue for at least five years after termination of your employment and for as long thereafter as is reasonably necessary to protect the Company’s interests.

11. Proprietary Information. For purposes of this Agreement, proprietary information shall include, but not be limited to, scientific or any technical information, research, development, design, process, manufacture, procedure, formula, testing, improvements, operation and information related to the sale of the Company’s products or services; the Company’s patent position or trade secrets; costs, profits, investments, planning, markets and other financial or business information including listings of names, addresses or telephone numbers; or experience with new ventures or products. Proprietary information may be in written, digital, visual or oral form.

8

12. Inventions. You shall disclose promptly in writing to the Company all inventions, including discoveries, concepts and ideas, patentable or not, hereafter made or conceived solely or jointly by you during your employment with the Company, or within one year after termination of your employment, if based on or related to proprietary information of the Company, provided such invention, discovery, concepts and ideas relate in some manner to the business or activities of the Company; provided that the foregoing does not apply to an invention which qualifies fully as a nonassignable invention under Section 2870 et seq. of the California Labor Code.

13. Assignment of Invention. You agree that in connection with any invention covered by Section 12, you shall, on request of the Company and at its expense, promptly execute a specific assignment of title to the Company and do anything else reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent therefor in the United States and foreign countries.

14. No Prior Agreements. Except as declared in Exhibit A (attached hereto and forming part of this Agreement), you do not own or have an interest in any patent or unpatented invention, as described in this Agreement.

15. Prior Company Agreements. Any prior agreements between yourself and the Company relating to patents, trade secrets, proprietary information or conflict of interest with the Company are hereby superseded.

16. Return Of All Property And Documents. Upon your separation from employment for any reason, you immediately shall return to the Company all of its property including, without limitation, all documents (including copies) and information, however maintained (including computer files, tapes and recordings), concerning the Company or acquired by you in the course and scope of your employment.

17. Litigation And Regulatory Cooperation. During and after your employment, notwithstanding the cause of separation from employment, you shall cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while you were employed by the Company. Your

9

full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after your employment, you also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while you were employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse you for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with your performance of obligations pursuant to this Section, subject to the reimbursement provisions of Section 6, and for any performance of your obligations under this Section 17 which occurs following your separation from employment, the Company shall compensate you at a reasonable rate for the time actually you spend cooperating under this Section 17.

18. Tax Withholding. You understand and acknowledge that any amount payable may be subject to appropriate tax withholding and you hold the Company harmless for deducting such amounts prior to payment.

19. Modification. If all or part of any provision of this Agreement shall become or be declared unlawful or unenforceable by reason of any rule of law or public policy, the rights of the Company and your obligations under this Agreement shall be modified only as much as is necessary to make the Agreement enforceable and all other portions of this Agreement, including the remaining portion of any provision, shall remain in full force and effect.

20. Remedies. You understand that your services for the Company will be of a special and unique nature, and that the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this agreement would cause the Company irreparable harm which could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by you of any of Sections 8-10, in addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, or temporary restraining orders or orders to prevent breaches thereof, in each case, without the need to post any security or bond. If it should become desirable or necessary for the Company to seek involuntary compliance with Sections 8-10 of this Agreement, the period of time during which you are restricted from soliciting Company employees shall extend to the anniversary date of the date of the trial court order or settlement requiring such compliance.

10

21. Binding Agreement; Applicable Law. The provisions of this letter will be binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of you and the Company, except that you may not delegate your obligations or assign your rights under this letter without the Company’s prior written consent. Our agreement outlined in this letter will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the jurisdiction of your principal place of employment.

22. Entire Agreement. This letter contains the entire agreement between us with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings with respect thereto. The terms of this letter may be amended only by an agreement in writing signed by you and the Company.
