the employment of its U.S. Business Employees to be transferred to the Company by transferring the stock of the employing Subsidiary of the Seller to the Company (and the Seller shall do so prior to the Closing in connection with the Restructuring) (“Seller Continuing Company U.S. Employees” ) or (ii) the Seller and the Purchaser shall use their respective best efforts to cause their respective U.S. Business Employees to become employed by the Company Group pursuant to a Comparable Offer of Employment (and the Seller shall do so prior to the Closing in connection with the Restructuring) (such U.S. Business Employees that accept such offers of employment, the “Seller Hired Company U.S. Employees” and “Purchaser Hired Company U.S. Employees”, respectively).

	(2)		Offers of Employment to Seller Hired Company U. S. Employees and Purchaser Hired Company U. S. Employees. The Company agrees to make or cause its appropriate Subsidiary to make a Comparable Offer of Employment to each U.S. Business Employee who is not a Seller Continuing Company U. S. Employee. Such Comparable Offer of Employment shall, among other things, provide for employment of such U.S. Business Employee commencing at 12:01 a.m. (Houston time) on the day following the Closing Date and shall be conditioned on the closing of the Contemplated Transactions. A “Comparable Offer of Employment” to such U.S. Business Employee shall be an offer of employment:

			(i) at no less than one hundred percent (100%) of such U.S. Business Employee’s base salary (as of the date hereof and including any adjustments related to contractual obligations, job promotions or merit increases consistent with past practice and in the Ordinary Course of Business) with the Purchaser Group or the Seller Group, as applicable, as of the Closing Date;

			(ii) to initiate employment at a location not more than twenty (20) miles from such U.S. Business Employee’s worksite immediately prior to the Closing Date (except with the consent of such U.S. Business Employee);

			(iv) to vest the unvested portions of such U.S. Business Employee’s “(401)k” plans maintained by the Warranting Party, effective as of the Closing Date.

			(v) It is understood and agreed that (A) the Company’s expressed intention to extend Comparable Offers of Employment as set forth in this Section 5.7(d)(i)(2) shall not constitute any commitment, Contract or understanding (expressed or implied) of any obligation on the part of the Company Group to a post-Closing employment relationship of any fixed term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that the Company Group may establish pursuant to individual Comparable Offers of Employment (subject to Section 5.7(d)(i)(3)), and (B) except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, employment offered by the Company Group is “at will” and may be terminated by the Company Group or by an employee at any time for any reason (subject to any written commitments to the contrary made by the Company Group or an employee). Nothing in this Share Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to

prevent or restrict in any way the right of the Company Group to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any U.S. Business Employee after the Closing or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment of such U.S. Business Employees.

	(3)		Continuing Obligations. For a period of no less than one year immediately following the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide the Transferred Company U.S. Employees with base salary and employee benefits (excluding benefits under any equity plan, program or arrangement of Seller or Purchaser), which are in the aggregate of substantially similar value to those that such Transferred Company U. S. Employee was receiving as of the Closing Date.

	(4)		Non-Transferred Employees. The Parties acknowledge and agree that if any U.S. Business Employee who is not a Seller Continuing Company U. S. Employee or Purchaser Continuing Company U. S. Employee does not accept the Comparable Offer of Employment (a “Non-Transferred U.S. Employee”), the Purchaser Group or the Seller Group, as applicable, will terminate the employment of the Non-Transferred U.S. Employee as of or promptly after the Closing Date.

	(5)		Cooperation. The Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate with the Company in the Company’s efforts to make offers of employment to the U.S. Business Employees who are not Seller Continuing Company U.S. Employees. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, providing to the Company all relevant data or summaries of such data relating to such U.S. Business Employees, as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Share Purchase Agreement without contravening applicable Law regarding privacy rights of such U.S. Business Employees.

	(6)		Successor. The Parties agree that, in accordance with the “Alternative Procedure” provided in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-34 IRB 320 (or any successor thereto), with respect to filing and furnishing of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-2, W-3 and 941, after the Closing Date, (A) the Parties shall report on a “predecessor-successor” basis with respect to any Transferred Company U. S. Employee who is transferred from a Relevant Group to the Company, (B) the Relevant Group shall not be required to furnish Forms W-2 to such Transferred Company U. S. Employees to whom it otherwise would have been obligated to furnish such forms for the calendar year 2010 and (C) the Company shall assume the obligations of the Relevant Group to furnish such forms to the Transferred Company U.S. Employees for such calendar year.

(ii) Warranting Party U.S. Plans.

	(3)		Except as with respect to Transferred Warranting Party U.S. Plans, the Purchaser and the Seller shall continue to retain and assume, bear and discharge all liabilities incurred after the Closing with respect to any health costs, obligations, or expenses incurred for continuation coverage under COBRA with respect to “qualifying events” (within the meaning of Section 4980B(f)(3) of the Code or Section 603 of ERISA) occurring on or before the Closing Date with respect to U.S. Business Employees or any other employees or former employees of the Relevant Group (or their dependents), if any.

	(4)		For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or its Subsidiaries shall assume or retain all obligations and liabilities with respect to the Transferred Warranting Party U.S. Plans.

(iii) Non-U.S. Business Employees. The Parties agree and acknowledge with respect to Non-U.S. Business Employees of the Seller Group or the Purchaser Group that:

	(1)		such Non-U.S. Business Employees shall be offered a comparable offer of employment (or assignment in the case of Seconded Non-U.S. Employees) by the Company Group, which shall include compensation and benefits no less favorable in the aggregate than that provided to them in their existing employment relationship with the Seller Group or the Purchaser Group, as applicable (whether implemented through (i) the creation of a direct employment relationship with the Company Group (“Hired Company Non-U.S. Employees”), (ii) through the transfer of a Transferred Subsidiary that employs such Non-U.S. Business Employee or (iii) as the Parties may agree, through secondment service arrangements, including pursuant to the Purchaser Employee Arrangement Agreement, providing for a comparable offer of employment to such Non-U.S. Business Employees and providing that such Non-U.S. Business Employees shall in all respects serve the Company and not their formal employer (“Seconded Non-U.S. Employees”) (collectively clauses (i) through (iii), “Transferred Company Non-U.S. Employees” and together with Transferred Company U.S. Employees, the “Transferred Company Employees”).

	(2)		The Purchaser Group or the Seller Group, as applicable shall cooperate with the Company to make offers of employment to the Hired Company Non-U.S. Employees and use reasonable best efforts to cause such Hired Company Non-U.S. Employees to enter into applicable formal agreements of employment substantially similar to that entered into by such Hired Company Non-U.S Employees in their employment with the Purchaser Group or the Seller Group, as applicable. The Purchaser Group or the Seller Group, as applicable, shall terminate as of the Closing Date, or promptly thereafter, the employment of such Hired Company Non-U.S. Employees or Seconded Non-U.S. Employees who do not accept such offer of employment or assignment provided in the preceding paragraph.

	(3)		Except as otherwise provided in this Share Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Seller Group or the Purchaser Group, as the case may be, shall retain all obligations and liabilities with respect to their respective Non-U.S. Warranting Party Plan.

(iv) Worker’s Compensation. The Purchaser and the Seller shall be responsible for and pay any and all workers’ compensation and other similar statutory claims asserted by or with respect to any of their respective Business Employees in respect of any injury or other compensable event or occupational

illness or disease which occurred or is attributable to any event, state of facts or condition which existed or occurred in whole prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall be responsible for and pay any and all workers’ compensation and other similar statutory claims asserted by or with respect to any Transferred Company Employee in respect of any injury or any other compensable event or occupational illness or disease which occurred or is attributable to any event, state of facts or condition which existed or occurred in whole after the Closing Date. If any such injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease of a Transferred Company Employee who was employed by a Relevant Group prior to the Closing Date and by the Company after the Closing Date is attributable in part to causes occurring prior to the Closing Date and in part to causes subsequent to the Closing Date and is the basis of a workers’ compensation or other similar statutory claim, the liability for any such claims shall be shared by the Parties in the proportion of the periods of employment of such Transferred Company Employee on or prior to the Closing Date and after the Closing Date, respectively. (e) Removal of Encumbrances.

In addition, with respect to Intellectual Property, any combination of features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exception merely because the individual features are in the public domain unless the combination itself and its principle of operation are in the public domain. Each Party agrees and acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 5.8 are inadequate and that in addition thereto any other Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such breach.

This Share Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by mutual agreement in writing among the Seller, the Company and the Purchaser; (b) by either the Purchaser or the Seller by giving notice of such termination to the other Parties, if the Closing has not occurred by March 31, 2010 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, has not committed a material breach of this Share Purchase Agreement that shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Share Purchase Agreement;

(c) by the Purchaser at its sole discretion if, between the date hereof and the Closing: (i) an event or condition occurs that has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Seller’s Business or the Seller; (ii) any representations and warranties of the Seller contained in this Share Purchase Agreement (A) that are not qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall have become untrue in any material respect or (B) that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall have become untrue, in either case such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue; (iii) the Seller shall not have complied in all material respects with the covenants or agreements contained in this Share Purchase Agreement to be complied with by it (each of (ii) and (iii), a “Terminating Seller Breach”); or (iv) any of the Seller or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any bona fide proceeding shall be instituted by or against any of the Seller or the Company seeking to adjudicate any of them as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking any of their liquidation, winding up or reorganization, or seeking any arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of any of their debts under any Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; provided that, if the Terminating Seller Breach is curable by the Seller, the Purchaser may not terminate this Share Purchase Agreement under this Section 7.1(c) for so long as the Seller continues to exercise its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within twenty (20) Business Days after notice of such breach is provided by the Purchaser to Seller; (d) by the Seller at its sole discretion if, between the date hereof and the Closing: (i) an event or condition occurs that has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Purchaser; (ii) any representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Share Purchase Agreement (A) that are not qualified by materiality shall have become untrue in any material respect or (B) that are qualified by materiality shall have become untrue, in either case such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) would not be satisfied as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue; (iii) the Purchaser shall not have complied in all material respects with the covenants or agreements contained in this Share Purchase Agreement to be complied with by it (each of (ii) and (iii), a “Terminating Purchaser Breach”); or (iv) the Purchaser makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any bona fide proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Purchaser seeking to adjudicate any of them as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking any of their liquidation, winding up or reorganization, or seeking any arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of any of their debts under any Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; provided that, if the Terminating Purchaser Breach is curable by the Purchaser, the Seller may not terminate this Share Purchase Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) for so long as the Purchaser continues to exercise its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within twenty (20) Business Days after notice of such breach is provided by the Seller to the Purchaser. Section 7.2 Effect of Termination. (a) In the event of the termination of this Share Purchase Agreement by the Purchaser or by the Seller in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, this Share Purchase Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no Party hereto shall have any liability to the other Parties hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, except for the obligation of the Parties hereto contained in this Section 7.2, in Sections 1.1 (Specific Definitions), 5.4 (Publicity), 5.5 (Expenses), 5.8 (Confidentiality), 5.16 (Further Assurances), Article VIII (Survival; Indemnification; Certain Remedies), 9.9 (Notices), 9.10 (Dispute Resolution) and 9.12 (GOVERNING LAW). (b) The Purchaser agrees that if the Seller shall terminate this Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) hereof and at the time of such termination there is no state of facts or circumstances that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) not to be satisfied by the Outside Date (other than as a result of a material breach by the Purchaser of its obligations under this Share Purchase Agreement) , then the Seller shall be entitled to receive from the Purchaser US $5 million (the “Default Fee”). (c) The Seller agrees that if the Purchaser shall terminate this Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof and at the time of such termination there is no state of facts or circumstances that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) not to be satisfied by the Outside Date (other than as a result of a material breach by the Purchaser of its obligations under this Share Purchase Agreement) , then the Purchaser shall, together, be entitled to receive from the Seller the Default Fee.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser is entitled to the Default Fee if this Share Purchase Agreement is terminated under either Section 7.1(a) or (b) and, except as provided in Section 7.1(a), the Company shall not be entitled to any right to terminate or prevent any termination of this Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1. (e) The Default Fee shall be payable by the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, in immediately available funds as soon as practicable following such termination and, in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days after such termination. (f) In addition to the Default Fee, each Party acknowledges and agrees that each Party retains any and all of its rights under Law or equity under this Share Purchase Agreement prior to the effective date of its termination; provided, however, that the amount that a Party has a right to receive for a breach of this Share Purchase Agreement by the other Parties shall be offset by the amount of the Default Fee, if any, paid to such other Parties. ARTICLE VIII SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION; CERTAIN REMEDIES Section 8.1 Survival. All of the representations and warranties of the Parties hereto contained in this Share Purchase Agreement and all claims and causes of action with respect thereto (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall survive the Closing and shall terminate eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.2 (Organization and Qualification), 3.3 (Corporate Power and Binding Effect), the first sentence (solely to the extent relating to Relevant Required Approvals) of 3.4 (Consents and Approvals), 3.5 (Non-Contravention), 4.1(a) (Organization and Qualification of the Company Group), 4.1(b) (Capitalization of the Company), 4.1(c) (Valid Issuance and Preemptive Rights), 4.2(a) (Organization and Qualification of Purchaser Holdco), 4.2(b) (Capitalization of Purchaser Holdco) and 4.2(c) (Valid Issuance; Preemptive Rights) shall survive indefinitely; (ii) the representations and warranties (x) dealing with Tax matters and (y) set forth in Section 3.17 shall survive until one hundred and twenty (120) days after the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof); (iii) insofar as any claim is made by the Purchaser for the breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained herein relating to environmental matters, such representations and warranties shall, for purposes of such claims by the Purchaser, survive the Closing until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing and (iv) insofar as any claim is made by the Seller for the breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained herein relating to environmental matters, such representations and warranties shall, for purposes of such claims by the Seller, survive the Closing until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing. Section 8.2(h) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years after such event and Section 8.2(i) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years after such event. Neither the period of survival nor the liability of the Seller or Purchaser with respect to the Seller’s or Purchaser’s, as applicable, representations and warranties shall be reduced by any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of the Purchaser or Seller, as applicable. If written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties by the Purchaser to the Seller or vice versa, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved. Section 8.2 Indemnification. (a) The Seller hereby agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, agents and employees and their successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any damages, claims, losses, charges, actions, suits, penalties and reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), to the extent determined by the final judgment or award of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration tribunal or in connection with a settlement entered into in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Share Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Losses”), imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, relating to or arising out of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller contained in this Share Purchase Agreement, (ii) the breach of any covenant or

agreement (including those with respect to the Restructuring) of the Seller Group contained in this Share Purchase Agreement, other than those, if any, that have been waived by the Purchaser and (iii) any of the Seller Group’s Excluded Liabilities. The Seller agrees that, after the Closing, it may not seek recovery against the Company, pursuant to any theory of subrogation, contribution or otherwise of any Losses payable for any such breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment by the Company. (b) The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company prior to the Closing for purposes of inclusion as a Seller Indemnified Party) and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, agents and employees and their successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and, together with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any Losses, imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties, relating to or arising out of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser Group contained in this Share Purchase Agreement; (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser Group contained in this Share Purchase Agreement, other than those, if any, that have been waived by the Seller; and (iii) any of the Purchaser Group’s Excluded Liabilities. The Purchaser agrees that, after the Closing, it may not seek recovery against the Company, pursuant to any theory of subrogation, contribution or otherwise of any Losses payable for any such breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment by the Company. (c) The Company hereby agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, from, against and in respect of any Losses, imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, relating to or arising out of any of the Company Assumed Liabilities or any failure by the Company to assume and discharge the Company Assumed Liabilities. The Company agrees that, after the Closing, it may not seek recovery against the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to any theory of subrogation, contribution or otherwise of any Losses payable in connection with the Company Assumed Liabilities. (d) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Parties for any Losses arising out of or resulting from any corrective or remedial action taken or permitted to be taken by the Indemnified Parties unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented to such corrective or remedial action (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). In determining whether a proposed corrective or remedial action is reasonable, the parties shall take into account, among other relevant factors, (A) the requirements of Law, (B) what is reasonably advisable in order to avoid a material potential liability, (C) the industry standards and practices in respect of similar facts and circumstances and (D) the monetary costs and benefits of such action (as opposed to no action or alternative possible actions) to the Indemnified Parties (without regard to the existence of any indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII). (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Share Purchase Agreement, the maximum aggregate amount of Losses that may be recovered from any Party shall be limited to fifty percent (50%) of the Cash Purchase Price; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Losses relating to or arising out any Excluded Liability or any Company Assumed Liability. (f) If the Closing occurs, no Party will have any Liability for Losses related to breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Article III or Article IV and any certificate related to such representations and warranties: (i) unless and until the aggregate Losses claimed under such Articles exceeds US$1,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”); provided, however, if the aggregate amount of Losses claimed under Section 8.2(a) or (b) (as applicable) exceeds the Threshold Amount, the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against all such Losses relating back to and including the first dollar of aggregate Losses so claimed; or

(ii) unless the indemnification Claim arising as a result of a breach by a Party of a representation or warranty made in this Share Purchase Agreement or any other certificate or document that a Party has delivered pursuant to this Share Purchase Agreement, is made in writing no later than the date on which the survival period as set forth herein for such representation or warranty has expired. (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 8.2(e), the limitations on each Party’s Liability for Losses set forth above in Section 8.2(e) shall not apply to (A) Losses related to any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in 3.2 (Organization and Qualification), 3.3 (Corporate Power and Binding Effect), 3.5 (Non-Contravention), 3.7(c) (Title), 3.17 (Tax Matters), 3.25 (Environmental Matters), as to the Seller, 4.1(a) (Organization and Qualification of the Company Group), 4.1(b) (Capitalization of the Company), 4.1(c) (Valid Issuance and Preemptive Rights), and as to the Purchaser, 4.2(a) (Organization and Qualification of Purchaser Holdco), 4.2(b) (Capitalization of Purchaser Holdco) and 4.2(c) (Valid Issuance and Preemptive Rights) or (B) any Losses resulting from any fraudulent act or willful misconduct by such Party liable for such Loss. (h) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 8.2 and in this Agreement, the Seller hereby agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, its Affiliates, the Company Group and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, advisors, attorneys, agents, employees and other representatives and their successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Representatives”) from, against and in respect of any and all damages, claims, losses, charges, actions, suits, penalties and costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Purchaser Representatives, relating to or arising out of any Actions or Claims by present or former stockholders of the Seller in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Warrants, the Convertible Promissory Notes, the Refinancing and any other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Term Sheet (the “Pingpong Transaction”). (i) The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to fully and finally resolve all pending Claims or Actions by stockholders of the Seller in connection with the Pingpong Transaction as soon as practicable after the Closing. Section 8.3 Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedures. (a) In the event that any written claim or demand for which the Seller, the Purchaser or the Company (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) may have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than ten (10) calendar days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third-Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third-Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim. (b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its own expense unless the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-

Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or (iii) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Indemnified Party (except for fees and expenses of any local counsel). (c) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third-Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents and employees; it being understood that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall be Losses for purposes of Section 8.2(a). (e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid production of confidential information (except as required by applicable Law and accorded appropriate confidentiality protection), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges. Section 8.4 No Consequential Damages. Subject to the rights and remedies under Section 7.2, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Share Purchase Agreement (other than Section 7.2) or provided for under any applicable Law, in no event shall the Parties hereto have any liability as against any Indemnified Party for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages whether based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, or any loss of future revenue, income or profits or any diminution of value relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof, whether or not the possibility of such damages has been disclosed to the other Parties in advance or could have been reasonably foreseen by such other Parties; and any such damages in the foregoing shall not be included in the Losses hereunder. Section 8.5 Adjustments to Losses. (a) Insurance. In calculating the amount of any Losses, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, net of any actual costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, shall be deducted therefrom. In the event that an Indemnified Party has any rights against a third party with respect to any occurrence, claim or loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, such Indemnifying Party shall, except as provided in Section 8.2, be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment; provided that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of the Losses related to any such claim, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims. (b) Taxes. In calculating the amount of any Losses, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any net Tax benefit actually realized (including the utilization of a Tax loss or Tax credit carried forward but ignoring the effect of any shortfall in payment or provision for Tax payable) as a result of such Losses by the Party claiming such Losses.

(c) Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of any Losses that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Losses has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of Losses. For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one fact, matter, event or circumstance that gives rise to more than one claim. Section 8.6 Payments. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Article VIII, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following receipt from an Indemnified Party of a xxxx, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed back-up documentation, for any Losses that are the subject of indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes such Losses, in which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Losses for which it is liable hereunder no later than ten (10) days following any final determination of such Losses and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor. A “final determination” shall exist when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, or (ii) an arbitration panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto pursuant to Section 9.10. Section 8.7 Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any indemnifiable Losses. In the event an Indemnified Party fails to so mitigate any indemnifiable Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any portion of such Losses that reasonably could have been avoided had the Indemnified Party made such efforts. Without limiting the foregoing, after any Indemnified Party acquires knowledge of any fact or circumstance that results in or would be reasonably expected to result in any indemnifiable Losses or Third-Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly and implement, and cause each other Indemnified Party to implement, such commercially reasonable actions as the Indemnified Party shall request in writing for the purposes of mitigating the possible Losses arising therefrom (such actions, “Mitigation Actions”). In determining whether a proposed Mitigation Action is reasonable, the Parties will take into account, among other relevant factors, (i) the requirements of Law, (ii) what is reasonably advisable in order to avoid a material potential liability, (iii) the industry standards and practices in respect of similar facts and circumstances and (iv) the monetary costs and benefits of such action (as opposed to no action or alternative possible actions), without regard to the existence of any indemnification obligation of the Parties under this Article VIII. Section 8.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree to treat all payments made by any of them to or for the benefit of any other Party (including any payments to the Company) under any indemnity provisions of this Share Purchase Agreement and for any misrepresentations or breaches of warranties or covenants as adjustments to the Cash Purchase Price or as capital contributions for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof except to the extent that the Laws of a particular jurisdiction provide otherwise, in which case such payments shall be made in an amount sufficient to indemnify the relevant Party on an after Tax basis. Section 8.9 Seller’s and Purchaser’s Tax Obligations. The Seller and the Purchaser shall be responsible for all their Relevant Group’s Taxes with respect to the Contemplated Transactions. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Losses of the Purchaser or the Company Group suffered by or asserted against the Purchaser or the Company Group in respect of such Taxes of the Seller and the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses of the Seller Group suffered by or asserted against the Seller in respect of such Taxes of the Purchaser Group. ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS Section 9.1 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Share Purchase Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Seller and the Purchaser, or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

Any amendment or waiver in accordance with this Section 9.1 shall be binding on all Parties hereto, including all of their successors and permitted assigns and transferees, even if they do not execute any consent with respect to such amendment or waiver. Section 9.2 No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Share Purchase Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the Party waiving such provision. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Share Purchase Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without limiting the foregoing, no waiver by a Party of any breach by any other Party of any provision hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver of a subsequent breach of that or any other provision hereof. Section 9.3 Assignment. No Party to this Share Purchase Agreement may, whether by contract, operation of law or otherwise, assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Share Purchase Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void and without effect. Section 9.4 Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Share Purchase Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Share Purchase Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Purchaser, the Seller, the Company, the Indemnified Parties or their respective successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Share Purchase Agreement. Section 9.5 Entire Agreement. This Share Purchase Agreement and the additional agreements and instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter covered herein and therein and supersede all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, the Transaction Term Sheet (which shall, upon the execution and delivery hereof, terminate and be rendered null and void); provided however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, no Party makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to any such matters. Each Party expressly represents and warrants that it is not relying on any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants or agreements outside of this Share Purchase Agreement. Section 9.6 Schedules. The inclusion of any matter in any schedule to this Share Purchase Agreement shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by the Company, or otherwise imply, that any such matter is material or creates a measure for materiality for the purposes of this Share Purchase Agreement.
