The date of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”. The Closing shall be deemed to occur at the close of business on the Closing Date.

2.4 Closing Deliverables of Acquiror. At the Closing, Acquiror shall deliver to Seller (a) the Closing Purchase Price, as adjusted by Section 2.6(a), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing (the two (2) Business Day period can be waived by Seller in its sole discretion) and (b) the certificates and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.

2.6 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Pre-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Company shall prepare and deliver to Acquiror a statement (the “Estimated Closing Date Working Capital Statement”) setting forth Company’s estimate of the Net Working Capital (as defined below) of Company on a consolidated basis as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”). The Estimated Net Working Capital shall be determined in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles. The Closing Purchase Price shall be increased by the positive amount by

-14-

which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital, or the Closing Purchase Price shall be decreased by the positive amount by which Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital. For the purposes of this Agreement, including the determination of the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Closing Net Working Capital (as defined below), and the Final Net Working Capital (as defined below), the term “Net Working Capital” shall have the meaning set forth on Exhibit 2.6 attached hereto, and shall be calculated using the principles, policies and methodologies described on Exhibit 2.6 attached hereto.

(b) Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment. As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller will cause to be prepared and delivered to Acquiror a statement (the “Closing Date Working Capital Statement”) setting forth a calculation of the Net Working Capital of Company, on a consolidated basis, as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), which Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles. Acquiror will reasonably cooperate with Seller to the extent required for the preparation of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement and will provide Seller and its Representatives access to all information, records, data and working papers (other than working papers of accountants that would require consent to provide), and shall permit reasonable access to its officers, employees, agents, properties, offices, plants and other facilities, books and records, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement and the Closing Net Working Capital. The Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in good faith and, in respect of the Closing Net Working Capital reflected thereon, present fairly in all material respects the Net Working Capital of Company, on a consolidated basis, as of immediately prior to the Closing (without giving effect to the sale and purchase of the Shares contemplated hereby). Acquiror shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Closing Date Working Capital Statement is delivered to review the Closing Date Working Capital Statement (the “Review Period”). Acquiror and its Representatives shall be provided access to such information, records, data and working papers (other than working papers of accountants that would require consent to provide), and shall be permitted reasonable access to its officers, employees, agents, properties, offices, plants and other facilities, books and records, as may be reasonably required in connection with the analysis of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement and the Closing Net Working Capital. If Acquiror disagrees in any respect with any item or amount shown or reflected in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement or with the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Acquiror may, prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Seller setting forth, in reasonable detail, each disputed item or amount and the basis for Acquiror’s disagreement (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth Acquiror’s position as to the proper Closing Net Working Capital. Any items not set forth on the Dispute Notice shall be deemed agreed to by Acquiror. If no Dispute Notice is received by Seller prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall be deemed accepted by Acquiror, whereupon (i) the Closing Net Working Capital reflected on the Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall be deemed the “Final Net Working Capital” and (ii) Acquiror or Seller, as the case may be, will pay to the other Party the amount owing in accordance with Section 2.6(e).

-15-

(c) Working Capital Dispute Resolution. For fourteen (14) days after Seller’s receipt of a Dispute Notice, if any, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to resolve by mutual agreement all matters in the Dispute Notice (the “Good Faith Resolution Period”). In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve by mutual agreement any matter in the Dispute Notice within such Good Faith Resolution Period, Acquiror and Seller agree that they shall engage the Auditor to resolve such dispute in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.6. Seller and Acquiror shall submit the disputed matters, as described in the Dispute Notice, together with such arguments as either of them choose to make in connection therewith, in writing to the Auditor within twenty (20) days after the Auditor’s engagement.

(d) Auditor Report. Seller and Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Auditor to resolve the disputed matters based upon the materials submitted to it pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.6(c) within thirty (30) days following the submission of such materials. The Auditor shall determine, based solely on presentations by Seller and Acquiror, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice and shall render a written report to Seller and Acquiror (the “Adjustment Report”) in which the Auditor shall determine what adjustments, if any, should be made to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement solely as to the disputed items and shall determine the appropriate Final Net Working Capital on that basis. The Auditor is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether the Target Net Working Capital or the Estimated Net Working Capital is correct. The Adjustment Report shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the Auditor’s determination with respect to each of the disputed items or amounts specified in the Dispute Notice, and the revisions, if any, to be made to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement and the Closing Net Working Capital, together with supporting calculations. In resolving any disputed item, the Auditor shall: (i) resolve such dispute in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.6, (ii) limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice and (iii) not assign a value to any item higher than the highest value or less than the lowest value for such item claimed in either the Dispute Notice or the Closing Date Working Capital Statement. All fees and expenses relating to the work of the Auditor shall be borne by Seller, on the one hand, and by Acquiror, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Auditor (such inverse proportion for each Party shall be the positive value obtained by each Party by dividing (A) the difference of (1) the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital proposed by such Party and (2) the amount of the Final Net Working Capital established by the Auditor by (B) the difference between (1) the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital proposed by Seller and (2) the amount of Closing Net Working Capital proposed by Acquiror), which proportionate allocation will also be determined by the Auditor and be included in the Adjustment Report. The Adjustment Report, shall be final, conclusive and binding on Acquiror and Seller.

(e) Payments of Adjustments. Any adjustments payable pursuant to this Section 2.6 (other than any incremental amount paid at Closing pursuant to Section 2.6(a)) shall be paid as follows:

(i) if a timely Dispute Notice is not delivered to Seller, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the end of the Review Period;

-16-

(ii) if a Dispute Notice is timely delivered to Seller, any undisputed amounts set forth in such Dispute Notice which would not be impacted by any disputed items, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the delivery of the Dispute Notice to Seller;

(iii) if a Dispute Notice is timely delivered to Seller and all such disputed matters are subsequently mutually agreed upon by the Parties during the Good Faith Resolution Period, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after such mutual agreement;

(iv) if a Dispute Notice is timely delivered to Seller, when such disputed matters are finally determined in the Adjustment Report, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after receipt of the Adjustment Report; and

(v) in all instances of a payment of an adjustment set forth in this Section 2.6(e), the Purchase Price shall be (A) increased dollar-for-dollar by the incremental amount by which the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital or (B) decreased dollar-for-dollar by the incremental amount by which the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital. Any such payment shall be paid together with interest as determined pursuant to Section 2.6(f) and be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Acquiror or Seller.

(f) Working Capital Interest. Any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.6(e) shall be paid at an annual rate equal to the prime rate per annum as quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the Closing Date and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed between the Closing Date and the date of payment over three hundred sixty (360) days.

2.7 Withholding. Except as required by a change in Law that occurs after the date of this Agreement, Acquiror and Seller agree that all Taxes required by applicable Law to be deducted or withheld from payments made pursuant to this Agreement are set forth on Schedule 2.7. If either Acquiror or Seller becomes aware of a change in Law that occurs after the date of this Agreement and that requires Taxes (other than those Taxes set forth on Schedule 2.7) to be deducted or withheld from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, (a) such Party shall promptly provide notice to the other Parties of such change in Law and, in reasonable detail, the method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding and (b) the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. Any Taxes deducted or withheld from any payments pursuant this Section 2.7 shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Party in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. The Party making any such deduction or withholding shall furnish to the other Party official receipts (or copies thereof) evidencing the payment of any such Taxes.

True, correct and complete copies of the organizational documents of Acquiror have been previously made available to Seller.

4.2 Due Authorization. Acquiror has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and (subject to the approvals discussed below) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Acquiror and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action on the part of Acquiror. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Acquiror and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Acquiror, as applicable, enforceable against Acquiror in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity.

4.3 No Conflict. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3 attached hereto, subject to the receipt of the consents, approvals, authorizations and other requirements set forth in Section 4.5 or Schedule 4.5 attached hereto, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Acquiror and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not and will not violate any provision of, or result in the breach of, any applicable Law, the organizational documents of Acquiror or any Subsidiary of Acquiror, or any Contract to which Acquiror or any Subsidiary of Acquiror is a party or by which Acquiror or any Subsidiary of Acquiror may be bound, or terminate or result in the termination of any such Contract, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Acquiror or any Subsidiary of Acquiror or constitute an event that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would result in any such violation, breach, termination or creation of a Lien, except to the extent that the occurrence of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Acquiror to enter into this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.4 Litigation and Proceedings. There are no Actions at law or in equity or, to the knowledge of Acquiror, investigations pending by or before any Governmental Authority or, to the knowledge of Acquiror, threatened, against Acquiror that, if determined adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Acquiror to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.6 Financing. Acquiror has delivered to Company and Seller true and complete copies of the executed Commitment Letters in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and each fee letter associated with the Debt Financing (a “Debt Financing Fee Letter”) that contain any terms regarding the terms and conditions to funding or “market flex” provisions or other similar provisions (with all economic and non-conditionality terms being redacted). The Equity Financing Commitment Letter provides that Seller is a third party beneficiary of the equity commitments and other terms contained therein. The Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn or rescinded and the respective commitments contained in the Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. As of the date of this Agreement, Acquiror has not entered into any Contract or other arrangement relating to the financing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than as set forth in the Commitment Letters and any executed Debt Financing Fee Letter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letters and this Agreement and assuming that all of Company’s and Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement are true and correct, the aggregate proceeds of the Financing (including after giving effect to the exercise of any or all “market flex” provisions related thereto) will be sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the making of the Closing Date Payment on the Closing Date and any fees and expenses otherwise payable by Acquiror. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the other parties thereto, the Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and represent a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the financing sources named therein to provide the financing contemplated thereby subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein; except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). Acquiror has fully paid (or caused to be paid) any and all fees and other amounts that are required by the Financing Commitments and are due and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the Financing. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default on the part of Acquiror or, to the knowledge of Acquiror, any other party thereto under any of the Commitment Letters. There are no contractual conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letters or any executed Debt Financing Fee Letter.

4.7 Brokers’ Fees. Except fees described on Schedule 4.7 attached hereto (which fees shall be the sole responsibility of Acquiror), no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Acquiror waives and shall not assert, and agrees to cause Company and its Subsidiaries to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between Pre-Closing Counsel and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with Acquiror and, following the Closing, with Company, it being the intention of the Parties that all rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege shall be retained by Seller; provided that the foregoing waiver and acknowledgment of retention shall not extend to any communication not involving this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions entered into by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to communications with any Person other than the Designated Persons; provided, further, however, that Seller shall not waive such attorney-client privilege without the prior written consent of Company. Acquiror hereby agrees to, and agrees to cause Company and its Subsidiaries to after the Closing, take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that any such privilege shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect thereafter; provided that from and after the Closing, such privilege shall be controlled by Seller and not Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, further, however, that Seller shall not waive such attorney-client privilege without the prior written consent of Company.

(c) Acquiror acknowledges and agrees that effective upon the Closing all Excluded Information constitutes the sole and exclusive property of Seller, and neither Company, its Subsidiaries, nor Acquiror shall have any right, title or interest in or to any such Excluded Information. Acquiror and Company hereby agree that Seller shall have the right, subject to applicable Law to take such actions, and execute and deliver such documents, as may be necessary or appropriate, in order to remove the Excluded Information from the possession and control of Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, prior to the Closing, including deleting or transferring Excluded Information from Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ computer servers and network.

(d) This Section 6.4 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 6.4 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Seller.

6.5 Access to Books and Records. From and after the Closing, upon reasonable notice, Acquiror shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide Seller and its

-44-

authorized Representatives with reasonable access (for the purposes of examining and copying), during normal business hours, to the books and records of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with any matter relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or with respect to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date; provided, however, that such access does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Acquiror. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Seller, Acquiror shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of any of its Subsidiaries (relating to the Business) for any period prior to the Closing Date without first giving reasonable prior notice to Seller and offering to surrender to Seller such books and records or any portion thereof which Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries may intend to destroy, alter or dispose of.

6.6 Supplemental Disclosure. Seller or Company shall, from time to time prior to or at the Closing, by notice in accordance with Section 11.2, supplement, amend or create any Schedule in order to add information or correct previously supplied information in a reasonably prompt manner upon the determination by Seller or Company of any matter arising or discovered after the date of this Agreement which, if existing or known to Seller or Company as the execution of this Agreement would have been required to be set forth in the Schedules hereto. It is specifically agreed that such Schedules may be amended to add immaterial, as well as material, items thereto. No such supplement, amendment or addition shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Schedules for purposes of ARTICLE VIII or ARTICLE X. Any failure by Seller or Company to supplement, amend or create any Schedule shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any of Seller’s or Company’s representations, warranties or covenants contained herein.

6.7 Solicitation of Seller Employees. During the Noncompetition Period, Acquiror shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, including Company, not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment any (i) key employee or senior management of Seller or any of its Affiliates or (ii) other person who is employed as an officer of Seller, or any of its Affiliates, as of the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not be deemed to prohibit Acquiror or any of its Affiliates, including Company, from making general public solicitations for employment for any position or from employing any employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates who (A) responds to such a general solicitation for employment, (B) has had his or her employment with Seller and its Affiliates terminated, for any reason, for at least of ninety (90) days or (C) otherwise contacts Acquiror or any of its Affiliates, including Company, on his or her own initiative and without solicitation by Acquiror or its Affiliates, including Company.

6.8 Surety Bond Replacement. Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to replace, at its sole cost and expense, effective as of the Closing Date, all reimbursement obligations of Seller or its Affiliates to the surety bonds that are set forth on Schedule 6.8. To the extent Acquiror is unable to replace such reimbursement obligations, Acquiror shall provide Seller with a back-to-back guarantee, letter of credit or other reasonably acceptable credit support arrangement in respect of such unreleased obligations within thirty (30) days after Closing and shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such reimbursement obligations as soon as reasonably practicable.

ARTICLE VII

JOINT COVENANTS

7.1 Support of Transaction. Without limiting any covenant contained in ARTICLE V or ARTICLE VI, Acquiror, Seller and Company shall each, and shall each cause their respective Subsidiaries to: (a) use reasonable best efforts to assemble, prepare and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consents required to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third parties that any of Acquiror, Seller or their respective Affiliates are required to obtain in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (c) take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary or as another party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of ARTICLE VIII or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller, Company or any of Company’s Subsidiaries or Acquiror be obligated to bear any expense or pay any fee or grant any concession in connection with obtaining any consents, authorizations or approvals required in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms of any Contract to which such Person is a party.

7.2 Antitrust Notifications.

(a) As promptly as possible after the date of this Agreement, but in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, each of Acquiror and Company shall file, or cause its appropriate Affiliate to file, with the Antitrust Authority all notifications required by the HSR Act (the “Antitrust Notifications”) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Acquiror and Seller each shall be responsible for one-half (1/2) of the applicable filing fees required in connection with such Antitrust Notifications. Each of Acquiror and Company shall request, in such Party’s Antitrust Notification filed in accordance with the HSR Act, early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. Each of Acquiror and Company agree that, during the term of this Agreement, it will not withdraw any Antitrust Notification without the written consent of the other Party or enter into any timing agreement with any Antitrust Authority without the prior written consent of the other Party. Each of Acquiror and Company shall furnish promptly to the Antitrust Authority and any other requesting Governmental Authority any additional information requested from either of them in connection with such Antitrust Notifications.

(i) furnish to the other Party such necessary information and assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any Antitrust Notifications;

-46-

(ii) keep the other Party reasonably informed of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any Antitrust Authority regarding the contemplated transactions between the Parties, and any communications received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party regarding the transactions contemplated in this Agreement;

(iii) provide copies of any written communications received from or given to any Antitrust Authority, unless prohibited by applicable Law; and

(iv) permit the other Party to review and incorporate the other Party’s reasonable comments in any communication given by it to any Antitrust Authority or in connection with any proceeding by a private party related to the HSR Act, or any other antitrust Law, with any other person.

7.3 Financing.

(a) Each of Company and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance) with the Debt Financing (including, without limitation, with respect to timeliness) as is reasonably requested by Acquiror. Such assistance shall include: (i) participation in meetings, drafting sessions and due diligence (including accounting due diligence sessions) and sessions with rating agencies, prospective lenders and investors; (ii) furnishing Acquiror and its financing sources with financial and other pertinent information regarding Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Acquiror to consummate the Debt Financing, (iii) assisting Acquiror and its financing sources in the preparation of (A) an offering document for any portion of the Debt Financing and (B) materials for rating agency presentations, (iv) cooperating with the marketing efforts of Acquiror and its financing sources for any portion of the Debt Financing; (v) facilitating the pledging of collateral and perfection of liens security and, with respect to Company and its Subsidiaries, the providing of guarantees supporting the Debt Financing; (vi) taking such actions as promptly as practicable (but in any event, prior to the Termination Date) as are reasonably requested by Acquiror to facilitate the satisfaction on a timely basis of all conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing, including without limitation, delivery by Company’s chief financial officer (or other equivalent officer) on the Closing Date of customary solvency certificates with regard to Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that no obligation under any such certificate shall be effective until the Closing; (vii) delivering to Acquiror unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows of Company and its Subsidiaries for each subsequent fiscal quarter and month after December 31, 2011 ended, in each case, at least 30 days before the Closing Date; and (viii) causing Company’s independent auditors to reasonably cooperate in connection with the Debt Financing. Company and each of its Subsidiaries hereby consents to the reasonable use of all of its logos, names, and trademarks in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos, names and trademarks shall be used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm or disparage Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their reputation or goodwill. Nothing contained in this Section 7.3(a) or otherwise shall require Seller, Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing prior to the Closing Date. All material, non-public information regarding Company and its Subsidiaries

-47-

or their respective Affiliates or Representatives pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except for disclosure to potential lenders and investors as required in connection with the Debt Financing subject to customary confidentiality protections; provided that neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or expense or incur any other liability in connection with the Debt Financing; and provided, further, that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Company and its Subsidiaries. In the event that the Closing does not occur, Acquiror shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, except to the extent any of the forgoing arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful and intentional misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement by, Seller, Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable.

(b) Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on and subject to the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters (or replacement financing obtained in compliance with this Section 7.3(b)), including using its reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letters in the form attached to this Agreement (or replacement financing obtained in compliance with this Section 7.3(b)) in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) cause the Equity Financing to be consummated at or prior to the Closing, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to the Financing set forth in the Commitment Letters (or replacement financing obtained in compliance with this Section 7.3(b)), and use reasonable best efforts to cause such Persons providing the Financing to fund the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Acquiror shall not be required to pursue any Action to enforce such rights under the Financings. Acquiror shall give Seller prompt notice of (i) any breach by any party to the Commitment Letters or the Debt Financing Documents or (ii) any event that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing or (B) make the timely funding of the Financing or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing less likely. Acquiror shall not permit any amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, assignment, substitution or replacement of any of the Commitment Letters (or replacement financing obtained in compliance with this Section 7.3(b)), without the prior written consent of Seller, if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, assignment, substitution or replacement (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing that will be available on the Closing Date in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from that contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitment Letters or the Equity Financing Commitment Letter or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or other terms or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing or other terms in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing or (B) make the timely funding of the Financing or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing less likely to occur. For purposes of clarification, the foregoing shall not prohibit Acquiror from amending the Debt Financing Commitment Letter and any related fee letter to (i) add or replace lender(s), lead arrangers, book runners, syndication agents or similar entities (and Affiliates of any of the foregoing) as a party thereto, (ii) make such other changes that would not adversely impact the ability of Acquiror to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) replace any Debt Financing Commitment Letter that is withdrawn by a financing source or replace any Debt Financing Commitment Letter that contains a condition precedent which Acquiror believes in good faith will not be satisfied.

-48-

Acquiror shall keep Seller informed in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letters, Acquiror shall promptly notify Seller and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such portion from alternative sources on terms not less beneficial, in the aggregate, to Acquiror and that will still enable Acquiror to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as promptly as practicable. Acquiror shall deliver to Seller true and complete copies of all Contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which any such source have committed to provide such alternative portion of the Financing.

7.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify and hold Acquiror Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of Company and its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and the portion of all Straddle Periods beginning on or before and ending on the Closing Date, as well as all reasonable professional fees and similar expenses incurred; provided that no indemnity shall be provided under this Section 7.4 for (A) any Taxes to the extent of any reserve or liability for Taxes that is reflected in the calculation of Net Working Capital, (B) any reduction in, or the availability of or failure to obtain, any net operating loss, capital loss, Tax credit carryover or other Tax asset or Relief, (C) any Taxes arising out of or in connection with any transaction of Company or any of its Subsidiaries that occurs on the Closing Date or after the Closing and is not in the ordinary course of business, (D) any Taxes arising out of or in connection with any transaction of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any event that occurs after the Closing Date or any Income, Profits or Gains earned, accrued or received after the Closing Date, (E) any Taxes which arise as a result of a change in legislation (including a change in regulations) or in the published practice of any Governmental Authority, a change in the judicial interpretation of the Law or an increase in the rates of Tax, in each case, not actually in force at the date of this Agreement, (F) any Taxes which would not have arisen but for a voluntary act, omission or transaction of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Acquiror or any of its Affiliates which occurs after the Closing or (G) any Taxes which would not have arisen but for the failure of Acquiror to comply with its obligations under this Section 7.4. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (1) the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the sixty (60) days after the expiration of all applicable statute of limitations (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive), unless Acquiror Indemnified Parties deliver to Seller, before the expiration of such period, a notice alleging, in good faith and in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the indemnification obligation of Seller under this Section 7.4, in which case, the applicable indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall survive until, and only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice, (2) this Section 7.4, and not Section 10.2(a), shall control in respect of any Taxes resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and (3) the indemnification obligations of Seller under this Section 7.4 shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.4.

(b) Allocation of Taxes. Acquiror and Seller agree that if the purchase of Company or any of its Subsidiaries causes the termination of the taxable period of Company or any of its Subsidiaries for income or corporation Tax purposes, they shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period to the extent permitted by

-49-

Law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that Company and its Subsidiaries shall cease to be members of the affiliated group of corporations of which Seller is a member within the meaning of Code §1504, and any comparable or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law (the “Xxxxxxx US Affiliated Group”), at the end of the day on the Closing Date. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes that are allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period beginning on or before and ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of ad valorem or property Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period before and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(c) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.

(i) The Parties acknowledge that the income and operations of Company and its Subsidiaries shall be included in the consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Returns of the Xxxxxxx US Affiliated Group (each a “Combined Tax Return” and collectively the “Combined Tax Returns”) for Tax periods of Company and its Subsidiaries ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and Seller or their Affiliates shall pay any and all Taxes due with respect to such Combined Tax Returns. Acquiror shall have no rights to prepare, review or comment on any such Combined Tax Returns in which Company and its Subsidiaries are included. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall timely file or cause to be filed all (A) Tax Returns of Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Combined Tax Returns) which are required to be filed (taking into account any extensions of time to file) on or prior to the Closing Date and (B) income and franchise (in lieu of income) Tax Returns of Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Combined Tax Returns) for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date which are required to be filed (taking into account any extensions of time to file) after the Closing Date, and shall pay or cause to be paid any and all Taxes due (taking into account any extensions of time to pay) with respect to such Tax Returns described in this sentence; provided, however, that Acquiror shall promptly reimburse Seller for the payment of any such Taxes to the extent such Taxes were included in any reserve or liability for Taxes reflected in the calculation of Net Working Capital. All Tax Returns described in the preceding sentence (such Tax Returns, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Combined Tax Returns, “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice of Company and its Subsidiaries unless a past practice has been finally determined to be incorrect by the applicable Governmental Authority or a contrary treatment is required by applicable Law. Seller shall deliver all such Pre-Closing Tax Returns (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Combined Tax Returns) to Acquiror at least twenty (20) days before the due date thereof. Seller shall permit Acquiror to review and comment on each such Tax Return prior to filing, which comments Seller shall consider in good faith. If applicable, Acquiror and Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for signing and timely filing any Tax Returns described in this Section 7.4(c)(i).

(ii) Acquiror shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed (taking into account any extensions of time to file) by Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date (other than the Tax

-50-

Returns for which Seller or their Affiliates are responsible under Section 7.4(c)(i)). With respect to such Tax Returns that are required to be filed for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods (collectively, “Seller Returns”), such Seller Returns shall be prepared by Acquiror in a manner consistent with past practice of Company and its Subsidiaries unless a past practice has been finally determined to be incorrect by the applicable Governmental Authority or a contrary treatment is required by applicable Law. Acquiror shall deliver all Seller Returns to Seller at least twenty (20) days before the due date thereof. Acquiror shall permit Seller to review and comment on each such Seller Return prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Seller Returns as are reasonably requested by Seller. In the event of a dispute between the Parties with respect to any item on any Seller Return, the Parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which such Seller Return is required to be filed. Acquiror agrees to file or cause to be filed all permitted extensions of time to file such Seller Returns as shall be reasonably required to allow any such dispute to be resolved. If the Parties cannot resolve any disputed item, the item or items in question shall be resolved in a manner similar to that set forth in Section 2.6; provided that such disputes shall not prevent the timely filing of any Seller Return. Acquiror shall remit or cause to be remitted all Taxes in respect of Tax Returns described in this Section 7.4(c)(ii); provided that not later than two (2) Business Days before the due date for payment of Taxes with respect to any Seller Return (taking into account any extensions of time to pay), Seller shall pay to Acquiror an amount equal to that portion of the Taxes shown on such Seller Return for which Seller has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 7.4(a) above.

(d) Refunds and Tax Benefits. Except to the extent reflected as an asset in the calculation of Net Working Capital, any Tax refunds that are received by Acquiror or Company and its Subsidiaries, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Acquiror or Company and its Subsidiaries become entitled, in each case, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and including any interest paid thereon (collectively, “Tax Refunds”) shall be for the account of Seller and their Affiliates (other than Company and its Subsidiaries). Acquiror shall promptly notify Seller in writing of any Tax Refunds received by or payable to Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing. Acquiror shall pay over to Seller any such Tax Refund within thirty (30) days after receipt or realization thereof. Acquiror shall cooperate, and cause Company and its Subsidiaries to cooperate, in obtaining any Tax Refund that Seller reasonably believes should be available, including without limitation, through filing appropriate forms with the applicable Governmental Authority.

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters; Tax Audits.

(i) Acquiror and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Tax Audit or other Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any Tax Audit or other Action with respect to Taxes and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Parties agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by

-51-

Acquiror or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority and (B) to give the other Party written notice at least ninety (90) days prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, Acquiror or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) Seller shall have the sole right to represent (through counsel of its choice at its expense) Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ interests in respect of, and shall have control of the defense, compromise or other resolution of, any audit or examination (“Tax Audit”) or Action relating to (A) any Pre-Closing Tax Period and (B) the Xxxxxxx US Affiliated Group; provided, however, that Seller shall allow Company and its counsel to participate, at Company’s sole expense, in any such Tax Audit or Action solely to the extent such Tax Audit or Action relates to Company and/or its Subsidiaries and the resolution of such Tax Audit or Action would adversely affect Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date. In the case of a Straddle Period (other than any Straddle Period with respect to the Xxxxxxx US Affiliated Group), Seller shall be entitled to participate at their expense in any Tax Audit or Action relating in any part to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period deemed to end on the Closing Date and, with the written consent of Acquiror (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), at Seller’s sole expense, may assume the control of such entire Tax Audit or Action. None of Acquiror, any of its Affiliates or Company and its Subsidiaries may settle or otherwise dispose of any Tax Audit or Action for which Seller or any of its Affiliates may have liability, or which may result in an increase in Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ liability, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Seller, unless Acquiror fully indemnifies Seller and its Affiliates in writing with respect to such liability in a manner satisfactory to Seller. In the event of any conflict between ARTICLE X and this Section 7.4(e)(ii), this Section 7.4(e)(ii) shall control.

(iii) Acquiror and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(iv) Acquiror and Seller further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Code §6043, or Code §6043A, or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(v) Neither Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit Company and its Subsidiaries to) amend, refile, withdraw or otherwise modify any Tax Return, claim, surrender, notice or consent in respect of Tax relating in whole or in part to Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Seller.

(vi) Seller shall not (and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to) amend, refile, withdraw or otherwise modify any Tax Return, claim, surrender, notice or consent in respect of Tax relating in whole or in part to Company and its Subsidiaries with

-52-

respect to a Tax period or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date if, such action would adversely affect Company and/or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Acquiror, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(vii) Acquiror shall, and shall cause Company and its Subsidiaries to, prepare and provide to Seller in accordance with Company and its Subsidiaries’ past practice, a package of Tax information materials and financial information materials, including, without limitation, schedules and work papers, required by Seller to enable Seller to prepare and file (or merely prepare) and calculate a Tax provision for the purpose of closing the books and Seller’s financial statements and all Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed (or merely prepared) by it pursuant to Section 7.4(c)(i). Such materials shall be delivered to Seller at a time sufficient for Seller to meet its reporting requirements, which time will be communicated to Company and its Subsidiaries and to Acquiror no less than thirty (30) days in advance of the requested delivery date.

(viii) Acquiror shall, and shall cause Company and its Subsidiaries to, prepare and provide to Seller a LIFO calculation as of the Closing Date for inclusion in Seller’s Tax Returns, which LIFO calculation shall be prepared in accordance with Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ past practice (insofar as such past practices are in compliance with GAAP). The LIFO calculation shall be delivered to Seller at a time sufficient for Seller to meet their reporting requirements, which time will be communicated to Company and its Subsidiaries and to Acquiror no less than thirty (30) days in advance of the requested delivery date.

(f) Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving Company and its Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(g) Transfer Taxes. All excise, sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes, together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties, resulting from the transfer of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Acquiror. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.4 to the contrary, any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and timely filed by the Party required by applicable Law to file such Tax Returns. Unless Seller or any of its Affiliates are legally required to file Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, Acquiror shall within thirty (30) Business Days following the Closing Date provide evidence satisfactory to Seller that any relevant Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes other than those that Seller or any of its Affiliates are legally required to file have been duly and timely filed. If Seller or any of its Affiliates are legally required to file any Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes, Acquiror shall pay to Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the due date for filing, the amount of any Transfer Taxes required to be paid in connection with such filing.

(h) Post-Closing Events. Except as otherwise required by Law, Acquiror shall not, and shall cause Company and its Subsidiaries not to, (A) take any action on the Closing Date

-53-

with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than actions in the ordinary course of business or actions that are specifically contemplated under this Agreement, (B) except as provided in Section 7.4(i), below, make any election or deemed election under Section 338 of the Code (or under any analogous or similar rules in any relevant tax jurisdiction) with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) make, change or revoke any Tax election, grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations or take any action or enter into any transaction in each case with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could increase the amount of the entitlement of any Acquiror Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.4(a) hereof.

(i) Code Section 338(h)(10) Elections. Acquiror and Seller shall join in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under state, local or non-U.S. tax law) (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with regard to the purchase and sale of the Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(i):

(i) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Acquiror shall prepare and deliver to Seller a properly completed IRS Forms 8023 for Company for Seller’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Promptly after Seller’s approval, Acquiror and Seller shall execute such IRS Form 8023 making the Section 338(h)(10) Election for Company, and Acquiror shall file such IRS Form 8023 with the IRS.

(ii) Acquiror and Seller shall allocate the Purchase Price (including any payment described in Section 7.4(i)(iv)) among the assets of Company in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations, and any comparable provisions of Law, as appropriate, in the manner set out in Schedule 7.4(i) attached hereto, as updated for the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (the “Asset Allocation”). The Asset Allocation shall be used for purposes of determining the “aggregate deemed sales price” and “adjusted grossed-up basis” under the applicable Treasury Regulations and in reporting the deemed sale of assets of the Company in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Election. Acquiror and Seller and their respective Affiliates hereby agree that they will report the Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and the Asset Allocation.

(iii) Acquiror and Seller shall timely prepare and file all Section 338 Forms required by Law to be filed by each to make the Section 338(h)(10) Election and shall provide each other with evidence that such filings have been made. For this purpose, “Section 338 Forms” shall mean all returns, documents, statements, and other forms that are required to be submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with a Section 338(h)(10) Election, including, any “statement of Section 338 election” and IRS Forms 8023 and 8883 (together with any schedules or attachments thereto) that are required pursuant to the Treasury Regulations.

(iv) In the event the values of Company’s assets are finally determined in a Tax Audit or Action to be different than those reflected in the Asset Allocation (an “Allocation Determination”), Acquiror shall indemnify

-54-

Seller and hold Seller harmless for, and shall pay to Seller, the Additional Amount (as defined below). The Additional Amount shall be calculated promptly after such Allocation Determination. Within five (5) days following the date that Seller reasonably determines that a Tax Audit or Action may ultimately result in an Allocation Determination, Seller shall provide written notice to Company and Acquiror of such Tax Audit or Action and the cooperation provisions of Section 7.4(e)(ii) shall apply with regard to Company’s participation in such Tax Audit or Action as if the resolution of such possible Allocation Determination relates to Company and/or its Subsidiaries and would adversely affect Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date. Within five (5) days after an Allocation Determination, Seller shall deliver to Acquiror a statement certified by Seller’s chief financial officer, which shall set forth in reasonable detail Seller’s computation of the Additional Amount and the accuracy of such computation. For this purpose, the term “Additional Amount” shall mean (A) the increase in federal and state income Taxes (including interest, fines, penalties or additions resulting from such income Taxes, but only to the extent actually assessed by an applicable Governmental Authority) of Seller or any Affiliate thereof (determined without taking into account any available federal and state tax attributes, including net operating losses, capital losses and tax credits) caused by such Allocation Determination, (B) grossed up in full for the increase in federal and state income Taxes (calculated in the manner provided in clause (A)) attributable to the payment of the Additional Amount. In the event Acquiror and Seller do not agree upon the Additional Amount within ten (10) days after delivery by Seller of the statement referred to in this clause (iv), either Party may refer any related dispute to the Auditor, for resolution using procedures substantially similar to those set forth in Section 2.6.

(j) Adjustments to Purchase Price. Except to the extent otherwise required by Law, Acquiror and Seller shall treat any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for income or corporation Tax purposes.

No claim for indemnification for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (other than any covenant that provides for performance following the Closing) may be asserted pursuant to this Agreement unless such claim is asserted in writing as provided above on or before the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE X, from and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold Acquiror and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, Representatives and Affiliates (the “Acquiror Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Acquiror Indemnified Party to the extent based upon, resulting from or arising out of:

(vii) any Action set forth on Schedule 10.2(a)(vii) and any Actions or appeals arising from the facts related thereto;

-58-

(ix) the ownership of the real property located at 0 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx and the real property located at 000 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, the operation of any facilities located on each such property and the transfer of ownership of such real property to another Person.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE X, from and after Closing, Acquiror shall indemnify and hold Seller and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, Representatives and Affiliates (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party to the extent based upon, resulting from or arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Acquiror contained herein.

10.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by written notice, provided to the Party from whom indemnification is sought or, in the case of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a), by written notice to Seller.

(b) In the event that any legal proceedings are instituted or any claim or demand is asserted by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 10.2 (any such third-party claim, a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third-Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (it being understood that no Acquiror Indemnified Party shall object to Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP as Seller’s choice of counsel with respect to any such matter), and to assume the defense and control the settlement of any such Third-Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder; provided that such right shall not exist if the Third-Party Claim (A) seeks an injunction or other equitable remedies in respect of the Indemnified Party or (B) may result in Losses which, in the good faith determination of the Indemnified Party, if taken with other Losses relating to then-existing indemnifiable claims, would not be fully indemnified hereunder; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume control of such defense and the settlement thereof at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to defend such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed such defense, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any legal expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim while the Indemnifying Party is controlling such defense. The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with

-59-

the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third-Party Claim and, if preservation of attorney-client privilege may reasonably be at risk, to maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve for all Indemnified Parties and Indemnifying Parties any attorney-client privilege with respect thereto). If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless the settlement includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim and provides that any amount to be paid shall be fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise, admit any liability, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE X, (i) no Acquiror Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) unless and until the amount of Losses incurred by such Acquiror Indemnified Party that are the subject of a claim (or any series of related claims) exceeds $50,000 (the “De Minimus Amount”) and such Acquiror Indemnified Party shall only be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) to the extent the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by all Acquiror Indemnified Parties for which such Acquiror Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) exceeds $3,550,000 (the “Indemnification Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess, (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount to be paid as indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), (iv), (v) and (vii) exceed $35,500,000 (the “Cap”). Seller’s aggregate liability under this ARTICLE X shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.4(a), (i) the De Minimus Amount and the Indemnification Deductible shall not apply with respect to Losses relating to breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Company Fundamental Representations or Section 3.15 (Taxes); (ii) the Cap shall not apply with respect to Losses relating to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.4(a), Section 10.2(a)(ii), (iii), (vi), (viii) or (ix) or to breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Company Fundamental Representations or Section 3.15 (Taxes); (iii) no Acquiror Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv) or (vii) unless and until the amount of Losses incurred by such Acquiror Indemnified Party that are the subject of a claim (or any series of related claims) exceeds $250,000, and then only to the extent of such excess; (iv) no Acquiror Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(v) unless and until the amount of Losses incurred by such Acquiror Indemnified Party that are the subject of a claim (or any series of related claims) exceeds an amount equal to the sum of (1) the reserve for the applicable workers compensation claim set forth on Schedule 10.4(b), to the extent such reserve is reflected in Final Net Working Capital plus (2) $250,000, and then only to the extent of such excess; (v) no Acquiror Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(vi) until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Acquiror Indemnified Parties that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(vi) exceeds $500,000, and then only to the extent of such excess; and (vi) with respect to any claim pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv) that is covered by a Seller Insurance Policy, Seller’s indemnification obligation with respect to such claim shall not exceed the amount of the deductible applicable to such claim under the related Seller Insurance Policy.

-60-

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE X, (i) no Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b) unless and until the amount of Losses incurred by such Seller Indemnified Party that are the subject of such claim exceeds the De Minimus Amount and such Seller Indemnified Party shall only be entitled to indemnification to the extent the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by all Seller Indemnified Parties for which such Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b) exceeds the Indemnification Deductible, and then only to the extent of such excess and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount to be paid as indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b) exceed the Cap; provided that the De Minimus Amount, the Indemnification Deductible and the Cap shall not apply with respect to Losses relating to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.4(i) or to breaches of the Acquiror Fundamental Representations. Acquiror’s aggregate liability under this ARTICLE X shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(d) For purposes of determining whether a breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller or Company has occurred and, if so, for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses relating to any breach of any of the representations or warranties, the representations and warranties in this Agreement, except for Section 3.7 (Financial Statements) and Section 3.9 (Absence of Certain Changes or Events), shall be read without giving effect to any qualifications or limitations as to “material,” “materiality,” and “Material Adverse Effect” contained in any such representations and warranties.

(e) No Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification to the extent of any Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction has determined by final judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification (provided that the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing shall not affect Acquiror Indemnified Parties’ indemnification rights).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Acquiror Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE X for (i) any Losses to the extent such Losses are reflected in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement or (ii) punitive, consequential, indirect, incidental or special damages, except to the extent any such damages are received by a third party from an Indemnified Party.

(g) In determining the amount of any Losses for which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to assert a claim for indemnification, the amount of any such Losses will be determined after deducting therefrom (i) the value of any Tax benefit or Relief actually realized by any such Indemnified Parties arising out of or in connection with the incurrence of the Losses for which indemnity is sought, (ii) the amount of any insurance proceeds from a third-party insurer actually received by such Indemnified Parties in respect of such Losses, in each case net of costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Parties or their Affiliates (including any increase in premium resulting therefrom) and (iii) any other amounts actually received from a third party pursuant to indemnification, contribution or otherwise in respect of any Losses. All

-61-

Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled or may be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE X. In the event that any insurance proceeds, Tax benefits, Relief or other amounts from any third party are actually recovered or realized by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, Tax benefits, Relief or other amounts relate, a portion of such indemnification payment equal to the amounts so recovered or realized shall promptly be refunded to the Indemnifying Party.

(h) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any amount relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent such Indemnified Party (or other Acquiror Indemnified Parties in the event of an Acquiror Indemnified Party, or other Seller Indemnified Parties in the event of a Seller Indemnified Party) had already recovered such amount with respect to such matter pursuant to that or other provisions of this Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Acquiror Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE X in respect of any Losses which occur or are increased as a result of the entry into force of, or any change in, after the Closing Date, any Law or any practice of any Governmental Authority (including any increase in the Tax rates or any new Tax or any withdrawal of Relief), even if such entry into force or change has retroactive effect.

10.5 Indemnification Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of the actual fraud of Seller, Company or Acquiror, from and after the Closing, the indemnification provided in Section 7.4(a), Section 7.4(i) or this ARTICLE X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses under this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not affect the right of any Party to seek specific performance or other remedies permitted under this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and except in the case of the actual fraud of Seller, Company or Acquiror, it may seek recourse under this Agreement only against the other Party, and each Party’s respective Representatives and Affiliates shall not have any personal liability or responsibility whatsoever to the Indemnified Party on any basis (including in contract or tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise). Except in the case of the actual fraud of Seller, Company or Acquiror, each Party hereby releases the other Party’s and its Affiliates’ respective Affiliates, Representatives, from any such liability or responsibility.

10.6 Insurance. Only with regard to Asbestos Claims and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Article X:

(a) The indemnification obligations under this Agreement are “net-of-insurance.” The Parties acknowledge that the indemnification provisions hereof do not relieve any insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim and that all insurer obligations take precedence over and operate in the first instance to respond to indemnified claims where appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller must first satisfy any indemnification obligation to the Acquiror Indemnified Parties pending any insurance recoveries, should any insurer fail or refuse promptly to respond fully to any such indemnified claim that is also covered by insurance.

-62-

(b) The Parties recognize that most, if not all, insurance coverage litigation would need to be pursued in the name of Acquiror. Acquiror, or predecessor companies or divisions, shall serve as plaintiff in pursuing the insurance coverage litigation, and shall cooperate in its pursuit. If such litigation results in a monetary judgment payable, and paid, to Acquiror or predecessor companies or divisions, the payment shall be endorsed or otherwise assigned to Seller within five (5) days of receipt; provided that Seller has fully complied with any outstanding indemnification request.

(c) The Parties agree that they will not, without the written approval of the other, initiate (or, if initiated, amend) any insurance coverage litigation or pursuit of any insurance settlement, or defend insurance coverage litigation initiated by an insurer, in each case, that either (i) seeks coverage (or, in the case of insurance coverage litigation initiated by an insurer, denial of coverage) for a claim as to which Acquiror is entitled to, or asserts entitlement to, indemnification from Seller or (ii) that directly puts at issue any of the insurance policies for which both Seller and Acquiror asserts rights.

Neither the debt financing sources under the Debt Financing Commitment Letters nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, members, partners, stockholders, Affiliates, Representatives, and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Debt Financing Sources”) shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith.
