Surrender of Company Common Stock, Cancellation of Company Options and Company SARs and Payment to Stockholders.

(a)

Paying Agent. At the Closing, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall engage a mutually agreeable paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative. The agreement with the Paying Agent shall state that the Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent in (i) short-term obligations of the U.S. government, (ii) certificates of deposit issued by a bank or trust company having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, (iii) short-term money market instruments or (iv) such other investments as directed by joint written notice of Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative. Any interest or other income produced by such investment shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation. All fees and expenses payable to the Paying Agent through and including the Closing Date shall be treated as Company Transaction Expenses, and all such fees and expenses incurred by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof after the Closing Date shall be payable out of the Escrow Amount pursuant to written instructions delivered by Parent to Escrow Agent.

(b)

Exchange Procedure. Not later than the tenth Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date (as mutually and reasonably determined by Parent and the Company), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Company Stockholder (other than holders of solely Dissenting Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent and that includes customary representations and warranties with respect to ownership of the applicable security and the right to sell such security and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the amount of cash such Company Securityholder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(c). Upon delivery to the Paying Agent of such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, together with any applicable Certificates and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent consistent with this Section 3.5(b) (“Certificate Delivery”), the Company Stockholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which his, her or its Company Common Stock (including each share of Common Stock represented by a Vested Company RSU, but excluding shares of Company Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled or terminated. Each Company

Stockholder shall be entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) by check or, at such Company Stockholder’s request, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by such Company Stockholder on the earlier of (X) the Closing Date, if such holder’s Certificate Delivery occurs at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date and (Y) the first Business Day after such holder’s Certificate Delivery, if such delivery is made after such time. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.5(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender (or at such other applicable time) such amount to which the holder of such Certificate is entitled pursuant and subject to Section 3.1(c). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, in each instance in this Section 3.5(b), the term “Company Stockholder” shall include holders of Company Common Stock represented by a Vested Company RSU.

(c)

Cancellation Procedures. Not later than the tenth Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date (as mutually and reasonably determined by Parent and the Company), the Company shall solicit, as a condition to the receipt of any portion of the consideration to which such holder would be entitled under this Agreement (as determined in accordance with this Agreement):

(i)

a complete, duly-executed Company Option Cancellation Agreement in the form of Exhibit D hereto from each Company Optionholder that holds a Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(ii)

a complete, duly-executed Company SAR Cancellation Agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto from each Company SARholder that holds a Company SAR as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Upon delivery to the Paying Agent on or before the Cancellation Agreement Deadline of a Company Option Cancellation Agreement or Company SAR Cancellation Agreement, as applicable, duly completed and validly executed, together with any other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent consistent with this Section 3.5(c), the Company Optionholder or Company SARholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which his, her or its Vested Company Options or Vested Company SARs, as applicable, shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1(c), and the applicable Company Options or Company SARs shall forthwith be cancelled or terminated. Each Company Optionholder or Company SARholder shall be entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) by check or, at such Person’s request, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by such Person on the earlier of (X) the Closing Date, if such holder delivered such cancellation agreement to the Paying Agent on or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date and (Y) the first Business Day after such delivery, if such delivery is made after such time; provided, however, that payment shall in no event be made later than the first Business Day after the Cancellation Agreement Deadline. The “Cancellation Agreement Deadline” means the later of (i) December 15, 2011 or (ii) the 10^th day of the third calendar month following the Closing Date. Until payment is made as contemplated by this Section 3.5(c), each Company Option or Company SAR, as applicable, shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such delivery (or at such other applicable time) and pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.5(c) such amount to which the holder is entitled pursuant and subject to Section 3.1(c). No interest shall be paid or shall

accrue on the cash payable upon delivery of the appropriate documents (or at such other applicable time) contemplated hereby.

(d)

Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed prior to the Closing Date, then, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Company Securityholder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will issue in consideration of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the portion of the Payment Fund to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that, if required by the Paying Agent and as a condition to the issuance of the relevant portion of the Payment Fund, such holder agrees to indemnify the Paying Agent against any claim that may be made in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate and shall, upon the request of the Paying Agent, deliver a bond in such amount as the Paying Agent may reasonably direct against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent with respect to such shares.

(e)

Stock Transfer Books. On the day prior to the Closing Date, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Company. If, on or after the Closing Date, Certificates are presented to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for transfer or for any other reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(f)

No Liability. Any portion of the Payment Fund held by the Paying Agent and unclaimed at the end of six months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, after which time any holder of unsurrendered Certificates shall look as a general creditor only to Parent for payment of such funds to which such holder may be due, subject to applicable Law (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any additional amounts paid to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.6(d)). None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Securityholders’ Representative or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g)

Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or other Persons, such amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, any provision of non-U.S. state or local Tax Law or any provision of U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock or other Persons, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

(h)

Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and such other Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) with respect to the transfer of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger (or another transaction contemplated herein (other than the transactions contemplated by Section 6.11)) (referred to herein as “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid 50% by the Company Stockholders (it being agreed by the Securityholders’ Representative that he shall pay out of the Securityholders’ Representative Expense Fund such

amount on behalf of the Company Stockholders), on the one hand, and 50% by Parent, on the other hand.

Section 3.6

Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a)

No later than the 90^thday following the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), prepared in accordance with GAAP, together with a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith calculation of Closing Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses, Benefits Liabilities, Closing Cash and Transaction Deductions.

(b)

The Securityholders’ Representative shall have 30 days following the Securityholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement to deliver to Parent any objections that the Company Securityholders may have to any of the matters set forth therein. During such 30-day period, Parent shall grant to the Securityholders’ Representative and its agents and representatives, subject to any applicable privileges, reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the books, records and other documents (including work papers) pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement. If the Securityholders’ Representative does not deliver any written objections to Parent within such 30-day period, Securityholders’ Representative (on behalf of himself and the other Company Securityholders) shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein, and the Securityholders’ Representative (on behalf of himself and the other Company Securityholders) shall have irrevocably waived any right to object thereto. If the Securityholders’ Representative does timely deliver such written objections (a “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice specifies in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted (collectively, the “Disputed Items”), then, during the 30 days following Parent’s receipt of a Dispute Notice, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall diligently attempt to resolve in writing the Disputed Items. Any Disputed Item resolved in writing by Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will be deemed final, binding and conclusive on Parent and the Company Securityholders.

(c)

If Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative do not reach agreement on all of the Disputed Items during such 30-day period (or such longer period as they shall mutually agree), then not later than five Business Days after such period, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will submit all unresolved Disputed Items (collectively, the “Unresolved Items”) to Ernst & Young LLP (the “Independent Accountants”) to review and resolve such matters. Each of Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative agrees to execute and deliver any engagement letter reasonably required by the Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants will determine each Unresolved Item (the amount of which may not be more favorable to Parent than the related amount reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement nor more favorable to the Securityholders’ Representative than the related amount set forth in the Dispute Notice) as promptly as practicable, and Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will instruct the Independent Accountants to endeavor to complete such process within a period of no more than 30 days. The Independent Accountants may conduct such proceedings as the Independent Accountants believe, in their sole discretion, will assist in the determination of the Unresolved Items; provided, however, that, except as Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative may otherwise agree, all communications

between Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative or any of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and the Independent Accountants, on the other hand, will be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the non-communicating Party. Provided that Parent and the Surviving Corporation have made available to the Securityholders’ Representative and its representatives in a timely manner all information relating to the Closing Statement and any Unresolved Items reasonably requested by the Securityholders’ Representative, then the Independent Accountants shall make their determination solely based on (i) the documentation submitted by, and presentations (any such documentation or presentation must be provided to the other Party prior to its submission or presentation to the Independent Accountants) made by Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative, (ii) the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses, Benefits Liabilities, Cash and Cash Equivalents and Transaction Deductions, and (iii) GAAP. The Independent Accountants’ determination of the Unresolved Items will be final, binding and conclusive on Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative, absent manifest errors on all parties, and enforceable before a Governmental Authority, effective as of the date the Independent Accountants’ written determination is received by Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative. Each of Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will bear its own legal, accounting and other fees and expenses of participating in such dispute resolution procedure. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants incurred pursuant to this Section 3.6(c) shall be split equally between Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative.

(d)

Upon final determination of the adjustments to be made (if any) to the Estimated Closing Payment pursuant to this Section 3.6 (such amount, the “Final Closing Payment”), an adjustment to the Estimated Closing Payment will be determined and paid as follows:

(i)

If the Estimated Closing Payment exceeds the Final Closing Payment, Parent shall be entitled to deliver written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent the amount of such excess out of the Escrow Amount.

(ii)

If the Final Closing Payment exceeds the Estimated Closing Payment, Parent shall pay the applicable amount(s) to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Indemnifying Persons, and/or to the Surviving Corporation, for payment to the recipients of the Benefits Liabilities (after appropriate withholdings). Any amount payable by Parent to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.6(d)(ii) will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three Business Days after the determination of Final Merger Consideration.

(iii)

Any amount to be distributed to the Indemnifying Persons pursuant to this Section 3.6(d) shall be distributed to each applicable Indemnifying Person in accordance with such Indemnifying Person’s Pro Rata Share.

(e)

Upon final determination of the adjustments to be made (if any) to the Closing Cash pursuant to this Section 3.6, any differences from the Estimated Cash paid at the Closing pursuant to Section 3.4 will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three Business Days to the recipient and in the manner provided in Section 3.4, either by Parent to the Paying Agent or by a distribution of funds to Parent from the Escrow Amount pursuant to written instructions delivered by Parent to the Escrow Agent, as applicable.

(f)

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of preparing the Closing Statement and the Closing Balance Sheet, no effect will be given to any new accounting pronouncements that may be issued following delivery of the Estimated Closing Payment Calculation.

(c)

For purposes of determining whether to request a waiver from any person, and what payments a person is required to waive to be no more than 2.99 times such person’s base amount, Parent shall cooperate with the Company and provide any reasonable requested information, including providing all information regarding any rights to amounts payable under any employment contracts or severance plan pursuant to a contract or agreement or plan entered into with the Parent or the Company or any Company Subsidiary on or after the Closing Date (or at the direction of the Parent) that could be considered to be contingent on the change of control of the Company as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)

Third Party Claims. With respect to any Claim made by a third Person (a “Third Party Claim”) against an Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee will seek indemnification from the Indemnitor hereunder, after delivery of the respective Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall be entitled (if it so elects), at its own cost, risk and expense, (a) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim, (b) to employ and engage legal counsel of its own choice to handle and defend the same (unless the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and counsel chosen by the Indemnitor (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to it or to other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying parties) that makes it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified party and the indemnifying parties, in which event the Indemnitee shall be entitled, at the Indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, to reasonable fees of not more than one separate counsel of the Indemnitee’s own choosing), and (c) to compromise or settle such Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld, unless (A) there is no finding or admission against Indemnitee of any violation of the rights of any Person and it is not reasonably expected to have an effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee, (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor, and (C) the Indemnitee will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Claims effected without its consent. After notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnitor will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnitee for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Claim, except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.4(b) with respect to possible conflicts of interest between the Indemnitee and Indemnitor’s counsel. If the Indemnitor fails to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will assume the defense of such Claim within sixty (60) calendar days after

delivery by the Indemnitee of the Claim Notice (or such shorter period as may be expressly specified in the underlying Claim, provided that the Indemnitee promptly delivered the Claim Notice and underlying Claim to the Indemnitor), the Indemnitee will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnitor) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnitor and Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee for the reasonable expenses of counsel engaged by Indemnitee to defend such Claim; provided, however, that, in such event, the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Person undertaking the defense, compromise or settlement of the Claim will keep the other Parties reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, and the Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall cooperate (at the Indemnitor’s expense) in all reasonable respects in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom, and the Indemnitee may, at its own cost, monitor and further participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. To the extent that there is an inconsistency between this Section 11.4 and Article XII as to any Tax matter, the provisions of Article XII shall control.

Section 11.5

No Right of Contribution. Neither the Securityholders’ Representative nor any Company Stockholder shall make any claim for contribution from the Company, the Surviving Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors or employees with respect to any indemnity claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement to the extent that the Company, Surviving Corporation or any Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder for such claim, and the Securityholders’ Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all Indemnifying Persons, hereby waives any such right of contribution from the Company, the Surviving Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective officers, directors or employees it has or may have in the future.

Section 11.6

Effect of Investigation; Reliance. The right to indemnification, recovery of Damages or any other remedy will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, recovery of Damages or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Indemnitee shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnitee to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 11.7

Insurance. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the proceeds of any insurance that would have the effect of reducing any Damages, and the amount of any Damages incurred by any Indemnitee shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by such indemnified party, net of all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees and expenses, incurred by such Indemnitee in recovering such proceeds from its insurers. If indemnification payments shall have been received prior to the collection of such insurance proceeds, such Indemnitee shall remit to the Indemnitor the amount of such insurance proceeds thereafter received, to the extent of indemnification payments received in respect of such Damages (in each case, net of all costs of collection thereof, including attorneys’

fees). To the extent an Indemnitee receives payment from a third party not affiliated with the Indemnitee (and that is not an insurance provider) that are related to any Damages suffered by such Indemnitee, such payment (net of the expenses of the recovery thereof) shall be credited against any such Damages to the extent such Indemnitee seeks indemnification in respect thereof.

Section 11.8

Mitigation. The Company Indemnified Parties or Parent Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Damages sustained by such Person(s). In no event shall any indemnified party be entitled to double recovery hereunder. If any circumstance constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant of an Indemnitor, the Indemnitee(s) shall only be entitled to recover once in respect of such circumstance.

Section 11.9

Subrogation. An Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the Indemnitee’s rights of recovery to the extent of any Damages paid by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall execute and deliver such instruments and papers as are necessary to assign such rights to the Indemnitor.

Section 11.10

Tax Matters. In addition to the other limitations contained in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Persons’ obligations to pay or indemnify for any Taxes (and related Damages) shall be further limited as follows: (i) no Indemnifying Person shall have any responsibility to pay or indemnify for Taxes (or related Damages) that arise or accrue during a Post-Closing Tax Period (or Taxes attributable to the portion of any Overlap Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date); (ii) no Indemnifying Person shall have any responsibility to pay or indemnify for any Taxes (or related Damages) to the extent such Tax was included as a liability (or offset to any asset) in the computation of the Closing Working Capital or included in the computation of Benefits Liabilities; (iii) no Indemnifying Person shall have any responsibility to pay or indemnify for any Transfer Taxes (or related Damages) in excess of such Indemnifying Person’s 50% share as provided in Section 3.5(h); and (iv) no Indemnifying Person shall have any responsibility to pay or indemnify for any Taxes (or related Damages) that arise from the Parent’s breach of any covenant or other agreement in Article XII.

Section 11.11

Release from Escrow. If the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee that it does not dispute the claim described in a Claim Notice, the Damages identified in such Claim Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnitor, and, if the Indemnitee is a Parent Indemnified Person, Parent shall be entitled in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to instruct the Escrow Agent to release the amount of such Damages to Parent. Upon the release of any portion of the Escrow Amount to the Indemnifying Persons as provided in the Escrow Agreement, each Indemnifying Person will be entitled to receive a portion of such released amount equal to his, her or its Pro Rata Share. The Escrow Agreement will provide for (a) the release to the Paying Agent, on the first Business Day after the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, for distribution to the Indemnifying Persons in accordance with each respective Indemnifying Person’s Pro Rata Share, 50% of the Escrow Amount then remaining (less amounts being held pending resolution of unresolved indemnification claims as provided in the Escrow Agreement); (b) the release to the Paying Agent, on the first Business Day after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, for distribution to the Indemnifying Persons in accordance with each respective Indemnifying Person’s Pro Rata Share, 50% of the Escrow Amount then remaining (less amounts being held pending resolution of unresolved indemnification claims as provided in the Escrow Agreement); and (c) the release to the Paying

Agent, on the first Business Day after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, for distribution to the Indemnifying Persons in accordance with each respective Indemnifying Person’s Pro Rata Share, the balance of the Escrow Amount then remaining (less amounts being held pending resolution of unresolved indemnification claims as provided in the Escrow Agreement).

Section 11.12

Limitations not Applicable. None of the limitations (whether monetary, temporal or otherwise) set forth in this Article XI shall apply to any Damages, or any indemnification obligations relating thereto, resulting from the fraud or intentional misconduct of any Party.

Section 11.13

Right of Setoff. If, after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, a Parent Indemnified Person believes that it has a claim for Taxes (or related Damages) under this Article XI in connection with U.S. federal income Taxes payable under the Tax Indemnity, Parent shall be entitled, after delivering written notice thereof to the Securityholders’ Representative, to withhold from the amount payable to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 12.7 an amount that, in such Parent Indemnified Person’s reasonable judgment, is sufficient to cover such Damages. Upon final determination of the amount of such Damages, whether by a non-appealable court order or final settlement of the dispute, the Parent Indemnified Person shall be entitled to that portion of the withheld amount required to cure such Damages. Subject to Section 11.12, the rights under this Section 11.13 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Taxes (or related Damages) payable under the Tax Indemnity that has survived beyond the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, other than any Taxes (or related Damages) in respect of which a claim for indemnification has been made prior to such third anniversary and in respect of which funds remain in escrow after such third (3^rd) anniversary pursuant to Section 11.11 and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 12.2

Preparation of Tax Returns. The Parties hereto agree as follows:

(a)

To treat any Transaction Deductions paid or accrued on or before the Closing Date as being deducted in a Pre-Closing Tax Period and no party hereto shall apply (or allow the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliates to apply) the “next day rule” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) to such deductions.

(e)

For purposes of clause (B), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Overlap Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Overlap Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Overlap Period.

(l)

To treat payments to Company RSUholders, Company Optionholders or Company SARholders with respect to the Tax refunds under Section 12.5 and Section 12.7, upon the release of the Escrow Funds, and with respect to the payments of the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount under Section 12.6 and Section 12.7 payments as payments of “wages” that are included in the income of the relevant Company RSUholder, Company Optionholder or Company SARholder in the year of receipt (and not in the year of deposit with the Escrow Agent) and Parent, the Company or applicable Company Subsidiary shall be entitled to withhold any amounts required under the Code or applicable Tax Laws with respect to such payments in accordance with Section 3.5(g) and reduce payments for the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s portion of payroll Taxes as provided for in Section 12.9.

Section 12.5

Tax Refunds.

(a)

Prior to the full release of the Escrow Amount to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 11.11 and the Escrow Agreement, all refunds of Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (whether in the form of cash received or a credit or other offset against Taxes otherwise payable) to the extent not included in the Closing Working Capital shall be property of the Company Securityholders. To the extent that the Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or any Company Subsidiary receives a refund that is the property of the Company Securityholders, the Parent shall pay the amount of such refund (and interest received from the Tax Authority) as provided in Section 12.7. The amount due for any Tax refund shall be payable ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Tax Authority (or, if the refund is in the form of a credit or offset, ten (10) days after the due date of the Tax Return claiming such credit or offset). Subject to the applicable limitations in Article XI, to the extent that a Tax refund that gives rise to a payment under this Section 12.5 is lost, reduced, or disallowed, the Indemnifying Persons shall indemnify the Parent Indemnified Person for the amount of Taxes that the Company or any Company Subsidiary incurs as a result of such loss, reduction, or disallowance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 12.5 shall not be construed to require Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates to make available any information that Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates reasonably determines in good faith is confidential or privileged (including without limitation, Tax Returns or related work papers (other than Tax Returns and related work papers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period)).

(b)

The amount of refunds attributable to the portion of an Overlap Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined in accordance with Section 12.2(a).

(c)

Prior to the full release of the Escrow Amount to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 11.11 and the Escrow Agreement, the Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation, any Company Subsidiary and their Affiliates, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to timely claim any refunds, credits or offsets that will give rise to a payment under this Section 12.5, including promptly filing after the Closing Date an IRS Form 1139 (and any comparable form for state and local Tax purposes) to claim a refund payable in cash from the carrying back of a net operating loss for the tax year ending on the Closing Date and an IRS Form 4466 (and any comparable form for state or local Tax purposes) to claim a refund payable in cash for estimated Taxes paid with respect to the year beginning on January 1, 2011.

Section 12.6

(a)

To the extent that a Transaction Tax Benefit Amount is realized for an Applicable Tax Year, the Parent shall pay an amount equal to such Transaction Tax Benefit Amount as provided in Section 12.7; provided, however, Parent shall not be obligated to pay any amounts in respect of the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount or with respect to any Tax refunds payable under Section 12.5 arising from the Transaction Deductions that would result in aggregate payments by Parent in respect of the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount and such refunds addressed under Section 12.5 in excess of the Transaction Tax Benefit Cap. Any Transaction Tax Benefit Amount payable under the prior sentence shall be payable no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount is finally determined under Section 12.6(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount arises from a refund for Taxes (whether by direct payment or credit), the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount shall not be payable prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after Parent, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates receives such refund from the applicable Tax Authority.

(b)

Within forty-five (45) days after the Parent files an Applicable Federal Tax Return for an Applicable Tax Year, the Parent shall deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative a certificate signed by an officer of Parent that reasonably details the calculation of the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount realized with respect to such year (each, a “Draft Tax Benefit Computation”). The Parent will make available to the Securityholders’ Representative and its representatives such additional information that the Securityholders’ Representative reasonably requests as part of its review of the Draft Tax Benefit Computation. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.6 shall not be construed to require Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates to make available any information that Parent determines in good faith is confidential or privileged (including without limitation, any Tax Returns and related work papers (other than Tax Returns or related work papers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, such Tax Returns and related work papers shall not include any Tax Returns or work papers of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company or any Company Subsidiary)). If the Securityholders’ Representative delivers notice that it agrees with the Draft Tax Benefit Computation or does not deliver a Tax Benefit Objection Notice within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Draft Computation, the Parent’s Draft Tax Benefit Computation shall be binding and the amount of the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount shall be payable under Section 12.6(a) and Section 12.7. If the Securityholders’ Representative disagrees with any aspect of the Draft Tax Benefit Computation, the Securityholders’ Representative shall, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Draft Tax Benefit Computation, deliver a notice (a “Tax Benefit Objection Notice”) to the Parent stating that it disagrees. The Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the Draft Tax Benefit Computation and the Tax Benefit Objection Notice, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within sixty (60) days after the Parent has received the Tax Benefit Objection Notice, the Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall jointly retain PricewaterhouseCoopers (or successor firm that Parent generally engages to prepare the Parent’s U.S. federal income Tax Returns) (the “Parent’s Tax Accountant”) to compute the Transaction Tax Benefit Amount; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Parent’s Tax Accountant or the Parent be required to make available to the Securityholders’ Representative any information that Parent reasonably determines in good faith is confidential or privileged (including without limitation,

Tax Returns and related work papers) (other than Tax Returns and related work papers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, such Tax Returns and related work papers shall not include any Tax Returns or work papers of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company or any Company Subsidiary)). The determination of the Parent’s Tax Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative. Each of Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will bear its own legal, accounting and other fees and expenses of participating in such dispute resolution procedure. The fees and expenses of the Parent’s Tax Accountant incurred pursuant to this Section 12.6(b) shall be split equally between Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative.

(c)

The Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to claim any deduction for Transaction Deduction not governed by Section 12.2 or to claim refunds that will give rise to payments under this Section 12.6; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to file an amended Tax Return for any Applicable Tax Year to claim a refund or to claim a deduction for a Transaction Tax Deduction

(d)

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent be obligated to pay more than once to, or for the benefit of, the Company Securityholders any amount with respect to the same Tax Benefit.

ongoing matters for the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates. Parent, the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company further agree that, as to all communications between Winston & Xxxxxx LLP, the Company, the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders and may be controlled by the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by the Surviving Corporation or Parent; provided that neither the Securityholders’ Representative nor the Company Securityholders shall waive such attorney-client privilege other than to the extent appropriate in connection with the enforcement or defense of their respective rights or obligations existing under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a dispute arises between the Parent or the Company and a Person other than the Securityholders’ Representative or a Company Securityholder after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Winston & Xxxxxx LLP to such Person; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
