Section 1.04 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) By no later than the third Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of Net Working Capital (“Estimated Net Working Capital”), the resulting Estimated Working Capital Surplus or Estimated Working Capital Deficit, the Company’s good faith estimate of Cash (“Estimated Cash”), the Company’s good faith estimate of Indebtedness (“Estimated Indebtedness”) and the Company’s good faith estimate of Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Transaction Expenses”) and the resulting calculation of Estimated Purchase Price. The Pre-Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement, including the accounting principles set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Statement of Accounting Principles”).

(b) As promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will deliver to Holdco Seller a statement setting forth Purchaser’s good faith calculation of Final Net Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Transaction Expenses and on the basis of the foregoing, the Final Purchase Price (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”). The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement, including the Statement of Accounting Principles. The parties agree that Purchaser’s preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement and the Final Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 1.04(b) are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures,

classifications or estimation methodologies than those used to prepare the Pre-Closing Statement. After delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, Purchaser shall give Holdco Seller and its accountants reasonable access during normal working hours upon reasonable notice to review, and/or provide copies of, the books, records and work papers of the Company related to, or otherwise used by Purchaser in, the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement. Holdco Seller and its accountants may make inquiries of Purchaser and the Company and their accountants regarding the Preliminary Closing Statement and Purchaser and the Company shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their respective employees and accountants to cooperate with, and promptly respond to, such inquiries. If Holdco Seller has any objections to the Preliminary Closing Statement, Holdco Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth such objections (an “Objections Statement”) within 30 days after Holdco Seller’s receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement. If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Purchaser within 30 days after Holdco Seller’s receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Preliminary Closing Statement (and the resulting Final Purchase Price) shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. If an Objections Statement is delivered to Purchaser within 30 days after Holdco Seller’s receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement, Holdco Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the objections stated therein and if they do not reach a final resolution of all such objections within 30 days after Holdco Seller’s delivery of the Objections Statement, Holdco Seller and Purchaser shall submit any remaining objections to Xxxxx Xxxxxx US LLP or such other mutually acceptable office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants, other than the accountants of Stockholder, Purchaser or any Affiliates of Purchaser (the “Dispute Resolution Firm”). The Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination will be based solely on the definitions of Final Net Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Transaction Expenses and Final Purchase Price set forth in this Agreement, including the Statement of Accounting Principles, and a single written submission from each of Holdco Seller and Purchaser and not on the basis of an independent review. The Dispute Resolution Firm shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to the disputed items as soon as reasonably possible (which the parties agree should not be later than 45 days following the date on which the disagreement is referred to the Dispute Resolution Firm), and to send copies of such written determination to Purchaser and Holdco Seller. No hearing shall be held and no discovery shall be permitted. No party shall engage, directly or indirectly, in ex parte communications with the Dispute Resolution Firm. The Dispute Resolution Firm shall not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value for such item submitted by either party to the Dispute Resolution Firm or less than the smallest value for such item submitted by either party to the Dispute Resolution Firm. The Dispute Resolution Firm may not award the parties in the aggregate more than the amount in dispute. The decision of the Dispute Resolution Firm with respect to all objections submitted to it shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be paid by Holdco Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the disputed items not awarded to each party bears to the aggregate amount of disputed items. For example, if Holdco Seller submits an Objections Statement for $1,000, and if Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Holdco Seller, and if the Dispute Resolution Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Holdco Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e. 300/500) to Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to Holdco Seller.

(c) Promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the date on which all disputed items required to determine the Final Purchase Price are finally determined by the Dispute Resolution Firm or agreed by Holdco Seller and Purchaser), Purchaser or Holdco Seller, as applicable, shall make the following payments:

(i) if the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, Holdco Seller shall pay such shortfall to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Purchaser; and

(ii) if the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay such excess to Holdco Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Holdco Seller.

(d) This Section 1.04 is not intended to be used to adjust for errors or omissions that may be found with respect to the Latest Balance Sheet or any other balance sheet referenced in Section 3.05 or any inconsistencies between the Latest Balance Sheet or any other balance sheet referenced in Section 3.05 and GAAP.

Section 1.05 Withholdings. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Purchaser and the Company may deduct and withhold any Taxes from any payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement (“Withholdings”) any such amounts that it is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Tax Law, shall collect any necessary forms or other information related thereto, shall timely pay over to the applicable Governmental Authority any such amounts deducted or withheld, and shall comply with all applicable reporting obligations with respect thereto. To accomplish any such Withholding for compensation payments to employees of the Company, any such payment subject to Withholdings shall be made through the payroll system of the Company after reduction in respect of such payment for applicable Withholding. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or Withholding was made. Except in the case of compensation payments to employees other than Stockholder, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Person in respect of whom such amount is payable with notice of such required deduction or Withholding prior to such payment being due hereunder and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith to reduce or mitigate any such requirement to deduct and withhold from such payment to the extent permitted by applicable Law (including Holdco Seller’s provision of a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or certificate of nonforeign status pursuant to Section 1.03(a)(ii) with respect to withholding pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code).

(i) Purchaser, Stockholder and Holdco Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon reasonable request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Company and the assets thereof, including access to the Books and Records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns of the Company which such party is responsible for preparing in accordance with this Agreement, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax and make available to the other party as reasonably requested all Tax Returns, work papers, information, records and documents relating to Taxes of the Company, Holdco Seller or Stockholder for which Holdco Seller or Stockholder could be liable. Purchaser and Holdco Seller shall cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with any Tax Proceeding involving the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have the right to receive or obtain any information relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of Holdco Seller or any of its Affiliates (or any of its predecessors) other than information relating solely to the Company and the assets thereof. Any information obtained under this Section 7.05(b)(i) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Holdco Seller, at its own expense and solely for its use and benefit, shall be entitled to retain copies of all Tax Returns related to the income or operations of the Company for all Pre-Closing

Tax Periods and information, records and documents relating to Taxes and the preparation of Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. The parties further agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Income Tax Treatment. Holdco Seller, the Company, Stockholder and Purchaser agree that (a) the Contribution and the Company QSub Election, collectively, shall be treated as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code pursuant to Revenue Ruling 2008- 18, 2008-1 C.B. 674, situation 1. and consistent with Situation 1 of Revenue Ruling 2008-18 and this Agreement qualify as, a “plan of reorganization for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) with respect thereto, (b) the Conversion shall be treated as a transaction which is disregarded for federal income tax purposes and (c) the acquisition of the Transferred Interests pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a purchase and sale of assets under Section 1001 of the Code.

(d) Purchase Price Allocation. Purchaser, Stockholder and Holdco Seller agree that the Final Purchase Price and the assumed liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items for Income Tax purposes) as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.04, shall be allocated among the assets of the Company for all purposes (the “Allocation Schedule”) in accordance with the methodology set forth on Section 7.05(d) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Allocation Methodology”). Purchaser and Holdco Seller acknowledge and agree that the Allocation Methodology has been prepared in accordance with Code Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. No later than 60 days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1.04, Purchaser shall deliver to Holdco Seller the draft Allocation Schedule, prepared in accordance with the Allocation Methodology. If Holdco Seller does not provide any comments to Purchaser in writing within 25 days following delivery by Purchaser of the draft Allocation Schedule, then the draft Allocation Schedule proposed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be final and binding. If, however, Holdco Seller submits comments to Purchaser within such 25 day period, Purchaser and Holdco Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any differences within 20 days after Holdco Seller provided comments to Purchaser and if Holdco Seller and Purchaser are able to resolve such differences such Allocation Schedule as agreed upon shall become final. If the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute within such 20-day period, then each Party may independently determine its own allocation of the Final Purchase Price and the assumed liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items for Income Tax purposes) and file its Tax Returns in accordance with each such allocation so long as each such allocation is prepared consistent with the Allocation Methodology. Each of Holdco Seller, the Company and Purchaser agree (i) to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594 (and all supplements thereto) in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule (as finally determined under this Section 7.05(d)), and (ii) in the course of any examination, audit or other proceeding with respect to any Tax Return or Tax, will take no position, and cause its Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule (as finally determined under this Section 7.05(d)) for Tax purposes, unless required by applicable Law. The parties hereto will revise the Allocation Schedule in accordance with the principles and methodologies set forth in the Allocation Methodology to the extent necessary to reflect any post-Closing payment or adjustment made pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement. The parties will not otherwise revise the Allocation Schedule for Tax purposes, unless required by Applicable Law.

(e) Tax Returns.

(i) Holdco Seller, at its sole expense, shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Income Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law by a “more-likely-than-not” level of confidence from Holdco Seller’s third party tax advisors. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all deductions and other Income Tax benefits attributable to the payment or accrual of transaction and bonus arrangements and all other expenses of the Company attributable to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including Employee Transaction Bonuses) shall be attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and shall be claimed as current deductions on the Income Tax Returns of the Company or Holdco Seller for the Pre-Closing Tax Period. Holdco Seller shall deliver to Purchaser each such Tax Return at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (after giving effect to extensions) for Purchaser’s review, comment and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Thereafter, Purchaser shall cause the Company to effectuate timely filing of such Tax Returns as finally prepared pursuant to this Section 7.05(e)(i). Except to the extent taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital or Indebtedness finally determined pursuant to Section 1.04, the Holdco Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of Taxes reflected on Income Tax Returns of the Company prepared by Holdco Seller in accordance with this Section 7.05(e)(i) no later than five days before the due date for the Income Tax Return for such Taxes.

(ii) Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company for any Straddle Period and any non-Income Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are first due after the Closing Date in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Holdco Seller for Holdco Seller’s review and comment each such Tax Return at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (or if such Tax Returns are filed or due on a monthly or quarterly basis, or if such Tax Returns are filed or due within 90 days of the Closing Date, as soon as reasonably practicable) after giving effect to extensions to provide Holdco Seller with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Tax Returns before filing. Purchaser shall consider any such comments provided by HoldCo Seller in good faith. Except to the extent taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital or Indebtedness as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.04, the Holdco Seller shall pay to Purchaser Holdco Seller’s allocable share of Taxes (as determined pursuant to Section 7.05(f) reflected on Tax Returns prepared in accordance with this Section 7.05(e)(ii) no later than five days before the due date for the Tax Return for such Taxes.

(iii) Except as required by Applicable Law or otherwise provided in Section 7.05(e) or Section 7.05(g)), if such action (described in this Section 7.05(e)(iii)) could increase any Tax liability of Holdco Seller or Stockholder (including Taxes for which Holdco Seller or Stockholder is obligated to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement) or could reduce the amount of Holdco Seller’s Tax refund pursuant to Section 7.05(g), Purchaser shall not (and shall neither cause nor permit the Company to) file, amend, refile or modify any Tax Return of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, make or revoke any election that has a retroactive effect on any such Tax period or initiate in writing any disclosure to, or have any

discussions with, any Taxing Authority regarding entering into (or otherwise pursuing) a voluntary disclosure agreement relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, in each case, without the prior written consent of Holdco Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(f) Allocation of Taxes. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, gain, profits, receipts, employment, social security, payroll, sales, use, or other transaction-based Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on a closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and the amount of all other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period and the balance of such Taxes shall be attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period after the Closing Date.

(g) Tax Refunds. Holdco Seller shall be entitled to receive all refunds of or amounts credited against Taxes paid by or on behalf of the Company (or Taxes paid by the Company on behalf of Holdco Seller or Stockholder) prior to the Closing Date for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including any Straddle Period attributable to the period ending as of or before the Closing Date) which such refund is received (or such amount is credited) on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, except to the extent that such refunds or credits are taken into account in the determination of the Final Net Working Capital, Indebtedness or Purchase Price. To the extent that Purchaser or the Company or any of their Affiliates receives a refund that is for the benefit of the Holdco Seller, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Holdco Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit promptly after receipt or entitlement by Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates net of any Taxes of Purchaser or the Company attributable to such refund or credit and expenses incurred in obtaining such refund or credit described in this Section 7.05(g). At the sole expense of Holdco Seller, Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions necessary, or reasonably requested by the Holdco Seller to timely claim any refunds that will give rise to a payment under this Section 7.05(g). If any Tax refund paid to Holdco Seller pursuant to this Section 7.05(g) is disallowed or required to be repaid to a Governmental Authority, Seller Holdco shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for such refund, plus any interest and penalties payable therewith.

(h) Tax Proceedings.

(i) Purchaser shall promptly notify Holdco Seller in writing upon receipt by Purchaser or the Company of written notice of any Tax Proceeding in respect of the Company relating to any (i) Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) Straddle Period. Such notification shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Proceeding and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any written correspondence received from the Taxing Authority. Any failure to promptly notify Holdco Seller of a Tax Proceeding shall not relieve Holdco Seller of any obligation to indemnify Purchaser except to the extent Holdco Seller is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) Holdco Seller shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding in respect of Income Taxes of the Company for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date if such Tax Proceeding could increase any Tax liability of Holdco Seller or Stockholder (including Taxes for which Holdco Seller or Stockholder is obligated to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement) or could reduce the amount of Holdco Seller’s actual Tax refund pursuant to Section 7.05(g); provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in any such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Holdco Seller shall provide Purchaser with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, and (iii) Holdco Seller shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) Purchaser shall control any (a) Tax Proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (other than Income Taxes) for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (b) Tax Proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Period, and (c) Tax Proceeding provided in Section 7.05(h)(ii) above which Holdco Seller declines or fails to control; provided, however, that if any such Tax Proceeding could increase any Tax liability of Holdco Seller or Stockholder (including Taxes for which Holdco Seller or Stockholder is obligated to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement) or could reduce the amount of Holdco Seller’s actual Tax refund pursuant to Section 7.05(g), then (i) Holdco Seller shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in any such Tax Proceeding; (ii) Purchaser shall provide Holdco Seller with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, and (iii) Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Holdco Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(i) Retention. Purchaser shall cause the Company to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods (including any extensions or waivers of such statute of limitations agreed to in writing with a Governmental Authority), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and, upon the reasonable request of Holdco Seller, allow Holdco Seller to take possession of such books and records prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records of the Company.

(j) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax indemnification agreements, sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company (other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and not primarily related to Taxes) shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and after the Closing Date, Purchaser, its Affiliates and the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(k) Overlapping Provisions. To the extent of any conflict between Section 7.05(h) and Article VIII, Section 7.05(h) shall govern.

Section 7.06 Employee Matters.

(a) Purchaser agrees that each employee who is employed by the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Employees”) shall, during the 12-month period after the

Closing Date, be provided with an annual base salary (or, in the case of an hourly employee, the base hourly wage rate) that is at least equal to the annual base salary (or base hourly wage rate, as applicable) payable to such Employee immediately prior to the Closing. Furthermore, Purchaser agree to provide each Employee, during the 12-month period after the Closing Date, employee benefits that are comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to the Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. If the employment of any Employee is terminated within the 12-month period after the Closing Date, Purchaser will provide such Employee with severance benefits pursuant to the Company’s severance plan; provided, however, that the calculation of any such severance benefits shall take into account such Employee’s service with the Company as well as such Employee’s service with Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company).

(b) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause any employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company) in which the Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing Date (collectively, the “Purchaser Plans”) to give each Employee service credit for such Employee’s employment with the Company for purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate under each applicable Purchaser Plan, as if such service had been performed with Purchaser or its Affiliates (except for benefit accrual purposes or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits). In addition, Purchaser shall (i) cause to be waived for the Employees (and their dependents) all pre-existing condition exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods, and evidence of insurability requirements under the Purchaser Plans, and (ii) cause any deductible, co-insurance, co-payments, and out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Employees (and their dependents) under the Benefit Plans on or before the Closing Date to be taken into account under any applicable Purchaser Plan.

(c) Following the Closing Date, for each Employee, Purchaser shall provide credit to such Employee for accrued unused sick leave and/or accrued unused paid time off available to such Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date in the applicable sick leave and/or paid time off policy of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 7.06 shall (i) be treated as the establishment, amendment or modification of any Purchaser Plan or, subject to Purchaser’s compliance with this Section 7.06, constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify, merge or terminate any Purchaser Plan, (ii) give to any Person any third party beneficiary or other rights under this Agreement or otherwise, or (iii) obligate the Company, the Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates to retain the employment or services of any current or former employee, director or other service provider of the Company for any specific period of time.

Section 7.07 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending three years following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), neither Stockholder nor Holdco Seller (the “Restricted Persons”) shall, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of any other Person or as an employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other Person (other than on behalf of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing), be employed by, provide consulting services to, own, manage or maintain an ownership interest in, any business which

purchases, manufactures, processes, bottles, packages or sells extracts, flavors, spices, pharmaceuticals, foods, or biologicals in the United States (the “Restricted Business”) or compete with the Company by providing or offering to provide to any Person within the United States any services or goods that are the same or substantially similar to, and in competition with, the products offered by the Company in the Restricted Business during the 18 months prior to the Closing Date. The foregoing shall not prohibit the Restricted Persons or their Affiliates from acquiring, owning or holding (i) up to three percent of any class of equity securities of an entity whose securities are traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market or of a Person registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) any interest in a private investment fund, so long as, in the case of subsections (i) and (ii), the Restricted Persons or their Affiliates has no participation in the management or investment decisions of such entity or fund.

(b) During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Persons shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of any other Person or as an employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other Person solicit any Person who is an employee of the Company on the Closing Date for the purpose of seeking to have such employee terminate his or her employment with the Company; provided, however, that the Restricted Persons and their Affiliates may: (i) make general solicitations of employment (whether through the use of placement agencies or otherwise) so long as employees of the Company are not targeted for such solicitation; (ii) respond to inquiries from and hire or engage any employee that responds to such general solicitation or that otherwise contacts the Restricted Persons or their Affiliates on his or her own initiative without any solicitation by the Restricted Persons or their Affiliates; and (iii) solicit or hire any employee whose employment was terminated by the Company or who was not employed by the Company for at least six months prior to the date of such solicitation or hiring.

(c) During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Persons shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of any other Person or as an employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other Person, solicit, induce or influence any Person who was a customer of the Company within the 18 months prior to the Closing Date to discontinue, reduce the extent of or otherwise interfere with such Person’s relationship with the Company with respect to the Restricted Business.

(d) During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Persons shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of any other Person or as an employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other Person, solicit, induce or influence any Person who was a vendor of the Company or supplier of the Company within the 18 months prior to the Closing Date to discontinue, reduce the extent of or otherwise interfere with such Person’s relationship with the Company with respect to the Restricted Business; provided that for purposes of this Section 7.07 vendor and supplier of the Company shall be limited to a Person who sold or provided, in exchange for compensation, services or goods to the Company that are essential to the manufacturing and production of Company Products and shall not apply to providers or sellers of non-essential or ancillary items or other items typically purchased by Persons not engaged in the Restricted Business, such as office supplies and professional services.

(e) Each of the covenants and agreements by the Restricted Persons contained in this Section 7.07 shall be deemed to be and construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. Each of the Restricted Persons acknowledges and agrees with respect to himself or itself that the covenants set forth in Section 7.07 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Restricted Business, that Purchaser shall sustain irreparable injury in the event of a breach or threatened breach by such Restricted Person of any of such covenants and agreements and that Purchaser does not and shall not have an adequate remedy at law for any such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, such Restricted Person consents and agrees that, if such Restricted Person breaches or threatens to breach any such covenant or agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and to specific performance and that such Restricted Person shall not assert in any Proceeding the defense or claim that Purchaser has an adequate remedy at law. The foregoing shall not, however, be deemed to limit the remedies of Purchaser for any such breach or threatened breach. Any claims with respect to a breach of the provisions set forth in this Section 7.07 must be made, if at all, within 24 months after the expiration of the Restricted Period.

(f) Each Restricted Person covenants and agrees that, if such Restricted Person violates any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Section 7.07, in addition to any and all other remedies available to Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to an accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation or benefits which such Restricted Person, directly or indirectly, has realized or may realize in connection with any such violation and such remedies shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief, and/or other rights or remedies to which Purchaser is or may be entitled at law or in equity or under this Agreement. In the event any litigation or other legal proceeding with respect to this Section 7.07 is instituted by any party, the prevailing party in such litigation or legal proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party its reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs that such prevailing party has incurred in connection with such litigation or legal proceeding, including any appeal therefrom.

(g) In the event that any of the provisions of this Section 7.07 shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Section 7.07 shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event that the scope of the Restricted Business shall be found by the Designated Court to exceed the maximum restriction on activities such court deems reasonable and enforceable, such scope of activities or geographical area shall be deemed to become and thereafter shall be the maximum scope of activities which such court deems reasonable and enforceable.

(h) Each Restricted Person has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 7.07 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.07 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of Purchaser and that such restrictions are not violative of any public policy.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.01 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreement. Except as set forth in this Section 8.01, the representations and warranties in this Agreement and any certificate delivered pursuant hereto by any Person shall not survive, and will terminate at the Closing or upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 as the case may be (it being understood that nothing in this Section 8.01 is intended to affect or limit the ability of Purchaser to recover under the R&W Policy for any matters covered thereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Seller Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing Date for ten years, (ii) the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing Date for ten years (as allowed pursuant to 10 Del. Code § 8106(c)), (iii) the Excluded Representations shall survive

the Closing Date for three years, and (iv) the representations and warranties of the Purchaser (other than the Purchaser Fundamental Representations) shall survive the Closing Date for three years. None of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement to be performed prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall terminate at the Closing or upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 (as the case may be), and the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement to be performed on or after the Closing shall survive the Closing (the “Surviving Covenants”), until the expiration of the term of the undertaking set forth in such covenants or agreements or until performed, except that the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties’ obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for Items 1 and 6 of the Excluded Liabilities shall terminate 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the underlying claim with respect to such Excluded Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim made with reasonable specificity by the party hereto seeking to be indemnified within the time periods set forth in this Section 8.01 shall survive until such claim is finally resolved.

Section 8.02 Indemnification by the Stockholder and Holdco Seller. Purchaser, the Company (from and after the Closing) and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, managers and agents (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) shall from and after the Closing be, jointly and severally, indemnified and held harmless by Stockholder and Holdco Seller (the “Stockholder Indemnifying Parties”) for and against all Losses to the extent arising out of, or resulting from, without duplication:

(a) the breach of any Seller Fundamental Representations;

(b) the breach of any Excluded Representation;

(d) the Indemnified Taxes;

(e) any Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses to the extent not paid on or before Closing or not included in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price; or

(f) the matters set forth on Section 8.02(f) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Excluded Liabilities”).

Section 8.03 Indemnification by Purchaser. Stockholder, Holdco Seller and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, managers and agents (the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties” and together with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) shall from and after the Closing be indemnified and held harmless by Purchaser (the “Purchaser Indemnifying Party” and together with the Stockholder Indemnifying Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnifying Parties”) for and against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of, or resulting from, without duplication:

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser contained in this Agreement; or

(b) the breach of any Surviving Covenant of Purchaser or the Company contained in this Agreement.

Section 8.04 Limitation on Indemnification.

(a) For purposes of determining whether there has been any breach of a representation or warranty, and for purposes of determining the amount of Losses resulting therefrom, all qualifications or exceptions in any representation or warranty referring to the terms “material”, “materiality”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term or phrase shall be disregarded, it being the understanding of the parties that for purposes of determining Loss under Article VIII, the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall be read as if such terms and phrases were not included in them.

(b) The following order of priority shall apply for the recovery of Losses against Stockholder Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.02(a) and Section 8.02(d):

(i) first, Purchaser or the Company shall be responsible for all Losses up to the amount of the self-insured retention under the R&W Policy;

(ii) second, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall recover such Losses by collecting insurance proceeds under the R&W Policy; and

(iii) third, to the extent such Losses exhaust the amount of coverage under the R&W Policy, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall recover such Losses from Stockholder or Holdco Seller.

(c) The maximum Liability for all Losses for which indemnification is sought under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price; provided, that, such limitation shall not apply in the case of Fraud. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Stockholder or Holdco Seller’s Liability under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the proceeds received by Stockholder or Holdco Seller hereunder; provided, that, such limitation shall not apply in the case of Fraud.

(d) The amount to which any Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder shall be reduced by the net amount of insurance proceeds (other than under the R&W Policy) actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim for indemnification, excluding any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party to collect such insurance proceeds and any increases in insurance premiums. If the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates receives any such insurance proceeds subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the net amount of the relevant insurance proceeds, excluding any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party to collect such insurance proceeds and any increases in insurance premiums.

(e) In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to seek or receive indemnification for the same Losses more than once under this Article VIII even if a claim for indemnification in respect of such Losses has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

(f) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if and to the extent that the Losses are included in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price.

CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE DESIGNATED COURTS (AND OF THE APPROPRIATE APPELLATE COURTS THEREFROM) IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OF THE DESIGNATED COURTS OR THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHICH IS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE DESIGNATED COURTS HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 11.10 Specific Performance. Each of the parties agrees that this Agreement is intended to be legally binding and specifically enforceable pursuant to its terms, that Purchaser, Holdco Seller, the Company and Stockholder would be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages would not provide adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which a non-breaching party may be entitled at Law, a non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief. Each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each party further waives any defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate in any action or Proceeding for specific performance or injunctive relief hereunder.

Neither party will disclose to the public this Agreement, or the Disclosure Schedules, Exhibits hereto, or other Transaction Documents, or the terms contained herein or therein, other than solely to the extent such party determines, based on advice of its legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by Applicable Law; provided, however, that Stockholder acknowledges that Purchaser may file this Agreement (but not the Disclosure Schedules, Exhibits or other Transaction Documents) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on a timely basis following its execution and otherwise make this Agreement available as required pursuant to applicable securities Laws and securities exchange rules or regulations.
