finder’s fees, commissions or like payments in respect of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement;
(iv) any costs incurred by Buyer in connection with any claims or disputes arising from
the requirements of any applicable bulk sales laws; and
(v) all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incident to the foregoing.
(b) HMC and Buyer agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold Seller and the Stockholder
harmless from and against any and all Losses attributable to or resulting from:
(i) (A) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty on the part of HMC or Buyer under
this Agreement or (B) any breach of covenant or other agreement on the part of HMC or Buyer
under this Agreement;
(ii) to the extent Buyer is not indemnified with respect thereto under Section 12.1(a),
any claims that arise from Buyer’s ownership or operation of the Assets subsequent to the
Closing Date;
(iii) any liabilities and obligations, based in any way on agreements, arrangements or
understandings made by or on behalf of HMC or Buyer, for any
-13-
brokerage fees, finder’s fees, commissions or like payments in respect of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(iv) all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incident to the foregoing.
Section 12.2 Procedures for Indemnification. Whenever a claim shall arise for
indemnification under Section 12.1 above, with the exception of claims for litigation expenses in
respect of a litigation as to which a notice of claim, as provided below in this Section 12.2, has
previously been given, which expenses shall be funded on an ongoing basis, the party entitled to
indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party from whom
indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim and, when known, the
facts constituting the basis for such claim; provided, however, that in the event
of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or Legal
Proceeding by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give such notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party not later than ten (10) business days prior to the time any response to the
asserted claim is required, if possible, and in any event within five (5) business days following
receipt of notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, the
failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability for indemnification it may have if and to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party shall not have been prejudiced by such omission. In the event of any such claim
for indemnification resulting from or in connection with a claim or Legal Proceeding by a third
party, the Indemnifying Party may, at its sole cost and expense, assume the defense thereof;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall first have agreed in writing
that it does not and will not contest its responsibility for indemnifying the Indemnified Party in
respect of Losses attributable to such claim or Legal Proceeding; and, provided
further, that Seller shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any claim or Legal
Proceeding against Buyer for Taxes with respect to a period ending after the Closing Date. If an
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to select counsel and take all steps necessary in the defense thereof;
provided, however, that no settlement shall be made without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and if the
Indemnified Party shall withhold its consent to any monetary settlement proposed by the
Indemnifying Party and which the other party to the action has indicated it is prepared to accept,
the Indemnified Party shall in no event be deemed for purposes of this Agreement, to have suffered
Losses in connection with such claim or proceeding in excess of the proposed amount of such
settlement); provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own expense,
participate in any such proceeding with the counsel of its choice without any right of control
thereof. So long as the Indemnifying Party is in good faith defending such claim or Legal
Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle such claim without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If
the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend (and, in the case of any claim
or Legal Proceeding against Buyer for Taxes with respect to a period ending after the Closing Date,
shall defend) against such claim or Legal Proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate,
including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation (after giving prior written notice
of the same to the Indemnifying Party and obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
-14-
withheld) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying
Party will promptly indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 12.2; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party does not obtain the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party to any such settlement, and such written consent is
not unreasonably withheld by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to
indemnification hereunder from such Indemnifying Party with respect to the claim settled.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.2 to the contrary, if, in any claim or Legal Proceeding
with respect to which the Indemnified Party has given the notice required under this Section 12.2,
(i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have promptly employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party or (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based upon the
opinion of its outside legal counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it
that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then in either
event (x) the Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding with the counsel of its
choice, the expense for which shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party (but in no event shall the
Indemnifying Party be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel employed by
the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim or proceeding) and (y) the Indemnifying Party
shall not have the right to direct the defense of any such action on behalf of the Indemnified
Party. All payments by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XII shall be in cash and in
immediately available funds.
Section 12.3 Determination of Damages and Related Matters. (a) For purposes of
indemnification under Sections 12.1(a)(i)(A) and 12.1(b)(i)(A), any breach of any representation or
warranty shall be deemed to constitute a breach of such representation or warranty notwithstanding
any limitation or qualification as to materiality set forth in such representation or warranty on
the scope, accuracy or completeness thereto, it being the intention of the parties hereto that,
each Indemnified Party shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all Losses
arising out of or based upon or with respect to the failure of any such representation or warranty
to be true, correct and complete in any respect.
(b) To the extent any payment under this Article XII cannot properly be treated as an
adjustment to the Consideration for Tax purposes, then any such amount shall be increased to take
account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party by reason of the receipt of any
indemnity payment (grossed-up for such increase). Any payment to an Indemnified Party pursuant to
this Article XII shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the
Indemnified Party in respect of the taxable year in which such Loss is incurred or paid and, with
respect to a Tax benefit arising in a year subsequent to the year in which the Loss is paid or
incurred, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit
(including, as relevant, any member of its Affiliated Group) when such Tax benefit is actually
realized. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall
be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before
recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence
or payment of any indemnified loss, liability, claim, damage or expense.

ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 13.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. HMC, Buyer, Seller and the
Stockholder hereby agree that the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, as
supplemented or modified by any amendments to the Schedules hereto made on or prior to the Closing
Date, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall further survive the
Closing hereunder for a period of three years from the Closing Date, regardless of any
investigation made by the parties hereto.
Section 13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with its Schedules and
Exhibits) contains, and is intended as, a complete statement of, all of the terms and the
arrangements between the parties hereto with respect to the matters provided for herein, and
supersedes any previous agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to
those matters.
Section 13.3 Applicable Law; Arbitration. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by,
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to
conflict of law rules thereof.
(b) All disputes between the parties hereto concerning this Agreement or which would otherwise
require or allow resort to any court or other governmental dispute resolution forum shall be
settled by binding arbitration held in New York City, New York in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) and by one (1) arbitrator appointed in
accordance with the Rules. THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, IN AGREEING
TO SUBMIT SUCH DISPUTES AND/OR CLAIMS TO ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY GIVES UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE
DISPUTE(S) OR CLAIMS(S) HEARD IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY. However, nothing herein shall
in any way limit either party’s statutory rights and/or remedies, all of which are reserved and may
be alleged in the arbitration process. Moreover, nothing herein shall restrict any resort to any
statutory agency charged with enforcing any of either party’s statutory rights and/or remedies;
provided, however, that the review of any such agency’s actions shall be had before
the arbitrators as discussed above and not before a judge or jury. By signing this Agreement, each
of the parties understands that each party may not have a jury decide any dispute or claim, but
that any such dispute or claim shall be decided only by the arbitrators. The arbitrator shall
issue a written decision, including the arbitrator’s written findings and conclusions upon which
any award is based. Each party shall bear its own costs and expense of such arbitration. Any such
award shall be final and binding on the parties thereto, and may be entered in any court having
competent jurisdiction.
Section 13.4 Construction. The table of contents, captions and headings in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall be given no effect in the construction and
interpretation of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed against either
party because such party drafted or caused to be drafted such provision. Each provision of this
Agreement shall be construed as if such provision were proposed by both Buyer and Seller.
-16-
Section 13.5 Expenses. Each of HMC, Buyer, Seller and the Stockholder shall bear
their own expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of financial institutions,
accountants, legal counsel, brokers, investment bankers and other advisors), incurred in connection
with the negotiation, preparation, execution, review, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
each of the other documents and instruments executed in connection with or contemplated by this
Agreement or related hereto, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby.

given under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Acquisition shall be in writing and

Section 13.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of
such provision to HMC, Buyer, Seller, the Stockholder or any Person or circumstance, shall be held
invalid, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons,
entities or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected
thereby.
Section 13.8 Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns,
heirs and legal representatives. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create
-17-
any third party beneficiary rights in any Person not party to this Agreement. No
assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either party
(by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and
any attempted assignment without such required consent shall be void; provided,
however, that HMC or Buyer may assign this Agreement without such consent (a) to any of its

all of Buyer’s assets or any transaction in which more than fifty percent (50%) of Buyer’s voting
securities are transferred.
Section 13.9 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only
pursuant to a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by each of the

Agreement, except by written instruments signed by the party charged with such waiver or estoppel.
No written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and the
written waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived, and not for the
future or as to any other act than that specifically waived. No failure by any party to insist upon
the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute waiver of any such
breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.
Section 13.11 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement may be
considered signed when the signature of a party is delivered by facsimile transmission, and such
facsimile signature(s) shall be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original
signature.
