ARTICLE 2

The Initial Purchase Price is subject to adjustment by the Closing Adjustment and the Adjustment Amount (the result being, the “Final Purchase Price”) pursuant to Section 2.2. The Initial Purchase Price (as adjusted by the Closing Adjustment, if any) and the Adjustment Amount shall be payable as provided in Section 2.3. All amounts set forth in this Agreement shall be in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated.

-6 -

2.2 Adjustments to Initial Purchase Price.

2.2.1 Estimated Statement of Working Capital. The Sellers shall prepare and, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, deliver to the Purchaser an estimated statement of Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Statement of Working Capital”). The Estimated Statement of Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Sellers shall afford, and shall cause the Companies and Subsidiaries to afford, the Purchaser and its respective representatives reasonable opportunity to review the preparation of the Estimated Statement of Working Capital, including supporting detail, undertaken by the Sellers.

2.2.2 Closing Adjustment. The Initial Purchase Price to be paid at the Closing shall be decreased dollar for dollar to the extent the Working Capital set forth on the Estimated Statement of Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital (the “Closing Adjustment”).

2.2.3 Final Statement of Working Capital. Within sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Period”), the Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Sellers a statement of Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Final Statement of Working Capital”). The Final Statement of Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. During the Adjustment Period, Purchaser shall afford, and shall cause the Companies and Subsidiaries to afford, the Sellers and their respective representatives reasonable opportunity to review the preparation of the Final Statement of Working Capital, including supporting detail, undertaken by Purchaser.

2.2.4 The Final Statement of Working Capital shall be final and binding on the parties unless Sellers shall, within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Final Statement of Working Capital, deliver to the Purchaser written notice of objection (the “Objection Notice”) with respect to the Final Statement of Working Capital. The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the disputed items on the Final Statement of Working Capital and describe in reasonable detail the basis for the disputed items, including the data that forms the basis thereof, as well as the amount in dispute. During the 30-day period following the Purchaser’s delivery of the Final Statement of Working Capital to the Sellers, the Purchaser shall grant the Sellers reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of each Company and Subsidiary relevant to the preparation of such statement.

2.2.5 If the Objection Notice is delivered, the parties shall consult with each other with respect to the disputed items and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Objection Notice, either the Purchaser or either Seller may refer any unresolved disputed items to an accounting firm of national reputation selected by mutual agreement of the Purchaser and the Sellers, or if the Purchaser and the Sellers are unable to so agree, the Chicago office of BDO Xxxxxxx, LLP (the “Unrelated Accounting Firm”). The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a written report as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within thirty (30) days on the unresolved disputed items and to resolve only those issues of dispute set forth in the Objection Notice. The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall resolve such issues of dispute in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The resolution of the dispute by the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Sellers and the Purchaser.

-7 -

2.2.6 Upon final determination of the Final Statement of Working Capital, the Initial Purchase Price (as adjusted by the Closing Adjustment) shall be (a) decreased dollar for dollar to the extent the Working Capital set forth on the Final Statement of Working Capital is less than the Working Capital set forth on the Estimated Statement of Working Capital or (b) increased dollar for dollar to the extent the Working Capital set forth on the Final Statement of Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital set forth on the Estimated Statement of Working Capital; provided, however, that in no event shall any adjustment pursuant to clause (b) exceed the amount of the Closing Adjustment. The adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price (as adjusted by the Closing Adjustment) determined pursuant to this Section 2.2.6 (the “Adjustment Amount”) shall be paid by Purchaser to Sellers, or Sellers to Purchaser, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. Until paid, the Adjustment Amount shall bear interest determined by computing simple interest on the Adjustment Amount from the Closing Date to the date of payment(s) at the rate of interest announced publicly by Citibank, N.A. from time to time as its “reference rate” (on the basis of a 365-day year).

2.3 Payment of Initial Purchase Price and Adjustment Amount.

2.3.1 At the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to (a) the Initial Purchase Price minus (b) the Closing Adjustment, if any, minus (c) the Escrow Amount, minus (d) the Settlement Escrow Amount, minus (e) the Trade Escrow Amount (if any), and minus (f) the aggregate amount required to satisfy the obligations specified on Schedule 8.1.12, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Sellers on Schedule 2.3.1.

2.3.2 At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (a) the sum of five percent (5.0%) of the Initial Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”), (b) Settlement Escrow Amount, and (c) Trade Escrow Amount (if any), each by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

2.3.3 Within five (5) Business Days after the parties agree on the Final Statement of Working Capital in accordance with Section 2.2, the Adjustment Amount as determined in accordance with Section 2.2.6 shall be paid by the applicable party to the other party. If the Adjustment Amount is to be paid by the Sellers to the Purchaser, then the Sellers shall promptly cause the Adjustment Amount to be paid to the Purchaser pursuant to the Escrow Agreement from the Escrow Funds (or, if the amount of the Escrow Funds is less than the Adjustment Amount, by delivery of the entire Escrow Funds). If the Adjustment Amount exceeds the Escrow Funds then remaining available, then the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference not paid from the Escrow Funds.

-8 -

2.3.4 Payment of the Adjustment Amount shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds if to Sellers by Purchaser to an account or accounts designated by the Sellers on Schedule 2.3.1, and if to Purchaser by Sellers to an account or accounts designated by the Purchaser on Schedule 2.3.4.

2.4 Escrow Arrangements.

2.4.1 At the Closing, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall enter into an escrow agreement in a form acceptable to the Sellers and the Purchaser (the “Escrow Agreement”) pursuant to which the Purchaser and the Sellers shall appoint U.S. Bank National Association, or another financial institution acceptable to the Sellers and the Purchaser, as the escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), to receive and hold the Escrow Amount together with all interest and other income thereon (the Escrow Amount, together with such interest and other income, is referred to herein as the “Escrow Funds”) for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Sellers and the Purchaser agree that fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Funds (net of the amount of any pending claims) remaining following the payment of the Adjustment Amount, if any, shall be released within five (5) Business Days after the parties agree on the Final Statement of Working Capital in accordance with Section 2.2. The Escrow Funds will be used as security for the Sellers’ obligations to the Purchaser under this Agreement, including the payment by the Sellers of the Adjustment Amount, if any, pursuant to Section 2.3.3 and Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Article 9. The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Escrow Funds, and the disbursement of the Escrow Funds, shall be set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

2.4.2 At the Closing, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall enter into an escrow agreement in a form acceptable to the Sellers and the Purchaser (the “Settlement Escrow Agreement”) pursuant to which the Purchaser and the Sellers shall appoint the Escrow Agent to receive and hold the Settlement Escrow Amount together with all interest and other income thereon (the Settlement Escrow Amount, together with such interest and other income, is referred to herein as the “Settlement Escrow Funds”) for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date. The Settlement Escrow Funds will be used as security for the obligations of the Sellers described in Schedule 2.4.2. The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Settlement Escrow Funds, and the disbursement of the Settlement Escrow Funds, shall be set forth in the Settlement Escrow Agreement.

2.4.3 In the event that the Sellers have not completed the corrective actions set forth on Schedule 7.1.7 not less than five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date, at the Closing, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall enter into an escrow agreement in a form acceptable to the Sellers and the Purchaser (the “Trade Escrow Agreement”) pursuant to which the Purchaser and the Sellers shall appoint the Escrow Agent to receive and hold the Trade Escrow Amount together with all interest and other income thereon (the Trade Escrow Amount, together with such interest and other income, is referred to herein as the “Trade Escrow Funds”) for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date. The Trade Escrow Funds will be used as security for the obligations of the Sellers related to the Tax and compliance matters in connection with Fasco Mexico described in Schedule 4.19.1 and Schedule 7.1.7. The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Trade Escrow Funds, and the disbursement of the Trade Escrow Funds, shall be set forth in the Trade Escrow Agreement.

4.16 Employee Benefits.

4.16.1 Schedule 4.16.1 sets forth all material, written “employee benefit plans,” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), programs, agreements or arrangements maintained by any Seller, Company or Subsidiary or to which any Seller, Company, or Subsidiary contributes or is obligated to contribute thereunder on behalf of current or former employees or current or former directors of any Company or Subsidiary or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, within the last six plan years preceding the Closing Date (the “Company Plans”). No Seller, Company or Subsidiary has any unwritten material Company Plans and has no binding obligation to establish any Company Plan.

4.16.2 True, correct and complete copies of the following documents, with respect to each of the Company Plans, if applicable, have been made available or delivered to the Purchaser: (i) any plans and related trust documents, and amendments thereto; and (ii) with respect to Company Plans that are sponsored or maintained by the Company or will be assumed hereunder by the Purchaser on and after the Closing Date (“Transferred Company Plans”): (a) the most recent Forms 5500; (b) the last IRS determination letter, if applicable; (c) the most recent actuarial report; (d) summary plan descriptions; (e) the most recent actuarial valuation; and (f) all material employee communications, in each case as applicable to such Transferred Company Plans. Schedule 4.16.2 sets forth all Transferred Company Plans.

4.16.3 The Company Plans intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code are so qualified and the trusts maintained pursuant thereto are exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501 of the Code, and nothing has occurred with respect to the operation of the Company Plans which is reasonably likely to cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any liability, penalty or tax under ERISA or the Code which would result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

-22 -

4.16.4 The Transferred Company Plans have been administered in accordance with their terms and with all applicable provisions of the Code and ERISA (including rules and regulations thereunder) and other applicable federal and state laws and regulations. No actions, suits, claims or disputes (other than routine claims for benefits) are pending or, to the Knowledge of Sellers, threatened, with respect to any Company Plan. No audits, inquiries, reviews, proceedings, claims or demands involving any Transferred Company Plan are pending with any Governmental Body. To the Knowledge of Sellers, no Seller, Company or Subsidiary, or any of their employees (current or former) or directors, or any other individual for whom the Seller, Company or Subsidiary has an obligation to indemnify, has engaged in a prohibited transaction with respect to the Company Plans for which liability could be assessed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA. Each Transferred Company Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by the appropriate Company or Subsidiary without liability for the payment of benefits thereunder as a result of such termination.

4.16.5 No Company Plan is a “multiemployer pension plan” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA and no Seller, Company or Subsidiary has any liability, contingent or otherwise, with respect to any “multiemployer pension plan”. No Transferred Company Plan is a plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (or is a plan that has a similar status under foreign laws) and no Company or Subsidiary has any liability, contingent or otherwise, with respect to any such plan. No Transferred Company Plan provides post-retirement medical or other welfare benefits except benefits required to be provided after termination under applicable Law.

4.16.6 All contributions to any Company Plan required to be made by a Company or Subsidiary and any payment under any Company Plan (except those to be made from a trust qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code) required to be made by a Company or Subsidiary for any period ending before the Closing Date have been paid, and to the extent unpaid, are reflected on the Balance Sheet.

4.16.7 Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, either alone or in combination with any other event, will (i) result in any payment becoming due to any Company or Subsidiary employee by any Company or Subsidiary for which the Company or the Subsidiary will not be allowed a full tax deduction, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Transferred Company Plan, or (iii) require any contributions or payments to fund any obligations under any Company Plan.

4.16.8 With respect to each Company Plan that is subject to the Law of any jurisdiction other than the United States (a “Foreign Benefit Plan”), (i) all employer and employee contributions to each Foreign Benefit Plan required by Law or by the terms of such Foreign Benefit Plan have been made or, if applicable, accrued in accordance with normal accounting practices, (ii) except as to Fasco Mexico, the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Benefit Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Benefit Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Benefit Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the Effective Time, with respect to all current and former participants in such plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Foreign Benefit Plan, and no transaction contemplated by this Agreement will cause such assets or insurance obligations to be less than such benefit obligations, (iii) all Foreign Benefit Plans have been maintained in accordance with their terms and all requirements of applicable Law, (iv) each Foreign Benefit Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with the appropriate Governmental Entities and (v) to the extent any Foreign Benefit Plan is intended to qualify for special tax treatment, such Foreign Benefit Plan meets all requirements for such treatment. Except as described on Schedule 4.16.8, the employee savings fund of Fasco Mexico complies with all applicable rules established in Mexican Income Tax and Social Security Laws.

6.3.1 The Purchaser acknowledges that by purchasing the Shares of the Companies, it shall, through the Company, employ all of the individuals employed by the Companies (including employees on vacation and on any Approved Absence, as defined below) as of the Closing Date. “Approved Absence” means an approved leave of absence (including active military service), short term and long term disability (including employees on workers’ compensation).

Purchaser shall, or shall cause a Purchaser Affiliate to, offer employment, to be effective on the Closing Date, to all employees of the Asset Sellers employed in the operation of the Acquired Business who are in Active Employment Status, as defined below, immediately prior to the Closing Date. The term “Active Employment Status” means an employee who is actively at work, on vacation, or on authorized leave of absence, but shall not include an employee on military leave, leave of absence for medical reasons (such as workers compensation, short- or long-term disability) or any individual who has permanently ceased providing services to the Asset Sellers. An employee of any such Asset Seller who is not in Active Employment Status but who has a right to return to employment under any applicable Law shall be extended an offer of employment by Purchaser if, for any employee on military leave, the employee has a right to re-employment under the provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (or similar state Law) and the employee makes application for employment with the Purchaser within the applicable timeframe for such re-employment rights, and for any employee on medical leave, the employee makes application for employment within thirty days (or such longer time as may be required by Law) after the time such employee is eligible to return to work in the job classification deemed warranted by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not be obligated to extend an offer of employment to any such individual if the Purchaser has eliminated the individual’s position, unless specifically required by applicable Law.

For purposes hereof, each employee of the Companies and Subsidiaries (other than the Asset Sellers) (including employees on vacation and on any Approved Absence), and each employee of the Asset Sellers who accepts employment with the Purchaser on the Closing Date (or such later date as described above following a leave of absence) pursuant to this Agreement, are referred to collectively as the “Employees”.

Notwithstanding anything herein, subject to applicable Law, this Section 6.3.1 shall not require the Purchaser, and Company or Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates to continue the employment of any Employee for any specified period after the Closing Date.

6.3.2 For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to provide, or shall cause the appropriate Company or Subsidiary or a Purchaser Affiliate to provide, each Employee, while employed by the Purchaser, Company or Subsidiary, with a base salary or wage rate that is not less than his or her base salary or wage rate in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (or, as applicable, immediately prior to his or her Approved Absence), unless an Employee agrees otherwise. The Purchaser shall provide or cause the Company or Subsidiary or a Purchaser Affiliate to provide, each Employee with employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension and retiree medical benefits) that are substantially similar to the employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension and retiree medical benefits) provided by Purchaser to its similarly situated employees.

-32 -

6.3.3 With respect to the Purchaser’s employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements covering or otherwise benefiting any of the Employees on or after the Closing Date (other than any non-qualified retirement or deferred compensation plans or equity-based compensation plans), service with a Company or Subsidiary shall be counted for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, and in determining the level of benefits with respect to vacation and severance (if any), to the same extent such service was counted under the corresponding employee benefit plans, programs, or arrangements of Sellers or the Company or Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date; provided that the Purchaser’s obligation to comply with the foregoing shall be subject to the consent of the insurer for any insured arrangement, which Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain.

6.3.4 With respect to any benefit plans of the Purchaser providing welfare benefits of the type described in Section 3(1) of ERISA to Employees on and after the Closing Date, (a) such plans shall grant credit for amounts paid by the Employees (including applicable deductibles, copays, annual out-of-pocket limits or similar costs) under corresponding Company Plans since January 1, 2007; and (b) shall waive any pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability provisions, waiting period requirements or any similar provisions, to the extent they were waived under corresponding Company Plans; provided that the Purchaser’s obligations to comply with the provisions of subsection (b) shall be subject to the consent of the insurer for any insured arrangement, which Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain. On the Closing Date and each month thereafter for the remainder of the plan year, the Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with information regarding the amount of deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket limits or similar costs incurred by each Employee during the portion of the plan year preceding such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall credit each Employee with their balances in any medical or dependent care flexible spending accounts only if the payroll deductions made by such Employee for the plan year and not used to pay benefits under such accounts are transferred to Purchaser.

6.3.5 Effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cover, or shall cause a Company, Subsidiary or Purchaser Affiliate to cover, Employees under a defined contribution plan and trust intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and (k) and Section 501(a) of the Code (the “Purchaser DC Plan”). The Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser DC Plan to permit Employees to make a direct rollover of their account balances under the Tecumseh Products Company Salaried Retirement Savings Plan and the Tecumseh Products Company Retirement Savings Plan for the Non-Union Hourly Rated Employees of the Acquired Business. Sellers and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to effect such transfers or distributions as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

-49 -

9.4.2 Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), the covenants in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely.

9.5 General Indemnification Procedures.

9.5.1 In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or any claim or demand, including a third party claim or demand (including reasonable attorney fees) (collectively, with a Legal Proceeding, a “Claim”) shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 9.1 (regardless of the De Minimis Amount or the Deductible referred to above), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this Article 9 to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. Such notice shall identify specifically the basis under which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 9.1 and enclose true and correct copies of any and all written documents furnished to the indemnified party by the Person that instituted the Claim. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within ten (10) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the reasonable expenses of defending such Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party (i) if so requested by the indemnifying party to participate; (ii) if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; or (iii) if the indemnifying party does not, in the reasonable opinion of the indemnified party, based on the written advice of counsel, diligently conduct such defense; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim. The indemnified party shall promptly supply to the indemnifying party copies of all correspondence and documents relating to or in connection with such Claim and keep the indemnifying party fully informed of all developments relating to or in connection with such Claim (including, without limitation, providing to the indemnifying party on request updates and summaries as to the status thereof).

-50 -

9.5.2 If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Claim, (i) no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other Claims made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (ii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

9.5.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Claim, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Claim so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

9.5.4 After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice.

9.5.5 The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

9.5.6 Payment Through Escrow. During the term of the Escrow Agreement (exclusive of any extension thereof past its regular term which occurs solely as a result of a Claim being made thereunder, other than with respect to such Claim), if the Sellers are determined to owe a Claim amount under Section 9.1, then the amount due to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be made first by the delivery to the Purchaser pursuant to the Escrow Agreement of cash from the Escrow Funds in the amount of the Claim to be so satisfied (or, if the amount of the Escrow Funds is less than the Claim amount, by delivery of the entire Escrow Funds). For the avoidance of doubt, no amount due to the Purchaser hereunder shall be limited by the amount of the Escrow Funds. If the amount of any Claim exceeds the Escrow Funds then remaining available, then the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference not paid from the Escrow Funds.

-51 -

9.6 Tax Matters.

9.6.1 Tax Indemnification.

9.6.1.1 Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including each Company and Subsidiary) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives and hold them harmless from all liability for Excluded Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall not indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including each Company and Subsidiary) or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, from any liability for Taxes attributable to any action taken on or after the Closing Date by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates (including each Company and Subsidiary) or any transferee of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (other than any such action expressly required by applicable Law or by this Agreement) (a “Purchaser Tax Act”) or attributable to a breach by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement.

9.6.1.2 Purchaser shall, and shall cause each Company and Subsidiary to, indemnify Sellers and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives and hold them harmless from (i) all liability for Taxes of each Company and Subsidiary for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date (except to the extent such taxable period began before the Closing Date, in which case Purchaser’s indemnity will cover only that portion of any such Taxes that are not for the Pre-Closing Tax Period), and (ii) all liability for Taxes attributable to a Purchaser Tax Act or to a breach by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement.

9.6.1.3 In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”):

9.6.1.3.1 real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of each Company and Subsidiary allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and

9.6.1.3.2 the Taxes (other than Property Taxes) of each Company and Subsidiary allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date, applying all exemptions, allowances or deductions (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) applicable to such Pre-Closing Tax Period applied on an annual basis shall be allocated between the periods in proportion to the number of days in each period.

-52 -

9.6.2 Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Tax Claims.

9.6.2.1 If one party is responsible for the payment of Taxes pursuant to Section 9.6.1 (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”), and the other party (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) receives notice of any deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination, suit, dispute or other claim (a “Tax Claim”) with respect to such Taxes, the Tax Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Tax Indemnifying Party in writing of such Tax Claim. If notice of a Tax Claim is not given to the Tax Indemnifying Party within a sufficient period of time to allow such party effectively to contest such Tax Claim, or in reasonable detail to apprise such party of the nature of the Tax Claim, the Tax Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Tax Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents or representatives) to the extent that the Tax Indemnifying Party position is actually prejudiced as a result thereof.

9.6.2.2 With respect to any Tax Claim, the Tax Indemnifying Party shall assume and control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative proceedings with any taxing authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and xxx for a refund or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of a Company or Subsidiary for a Straddle Period, Sellers and Purchaser shall jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any such Tax Claim, further provided, that in the case of the settlement of any Tax Claim that can be reasonably expected to impact the Taxes of any Company or Subsidiary for any Tax period other than a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the prior written consent of the Purchaser shall be required (which consent may not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

9.6.2.3 The Tax Indemnified Party and each of its respective Affiliates shall cooperate with the Tax Indemnifying Party in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Tax Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Tax Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.

9.6.2.4 In no case shall the Tax Indemnified Party, the Companies, the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents or representatives settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Claim without the Tax Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. Neither party shall settle a Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of any Company or Subsidiary for a Straddle Period without the other party’s prior written consent.

-53 -

9.6.3 Responsibility for Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns and Amendments.

9.6.3.1 For any taxable period of a Company or Subsidiary that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, Purchaser shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed and shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such returns, reports and forms; provided that Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for any amount owed by Sellers pursuant to Section 9.6.1.1 with respect to the taxable periods covered by such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice, except to the extent any position does not have sufficient legal support to avoid the imposition of penalties, fines or similar amounts. Purchaser shall furnish such Tax Returns to Sellers for its approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld) at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns.

9.6.3.2 For any taxable period of a Company or Subsidiary that ends on or before the Closing Date, Sellers shall timely prepare and Purchaser or Sellers, as appropriate, shall timely file with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed. Purchaser shall timely furnish tax work papers to Sellers upon request in accordance with Sellers’ past custom and practice. Sellers shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner such that all positions have sufficient legal support to avoid the imposition of penalties, fines or similar amounts. Any Tax Returns to be filed by Purchaser, a Company or Subsidiary shall be furnished by Sellers to the Purchaser, such Company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, for signature and filing at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns and the Purchaser, such Company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall promptly sign and timely file any such Tax Return. Purchaser and Sellers agree to cause each Company and Subsidiary to file all Tax Returns for the period including the Closing Date on the basis that the relevant taxable period ended as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date, unless the relevant taxing authority will not accept a Tax Return filed on that basis.

9.6.3.3 Sellers shall be responsible for filing any amended, consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Returns for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date. For those jurisdictions in which separate Tax Returns are filed by any Company or Subsidiary, any required amended Tax Returns shall be prepared by Sellers and furnished to the Purchaser, such Company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, for signature and filing at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns, and the Purchaser, such Company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall promptly sign and timely file any such amended Tax Return.

9.6.3.4 In the event a dispute arises regarding whether a position taken on any Tax Return complies with this Agreement, such dispute shall be resolved by following the procedures described in Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3

-54 -

9.6.4 Cooperation.

9.6.4.1 Each of Sellers, the Companies, the Subsidiaries, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods, including records related to customs duties for the four-year period prior to Closing Date and the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending twelve months period thereafter.

9.6.4.2 Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request, at the other party’s cost and expense, and at the time and place mutually agreed upon by the parties) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding, the preparation of financial statements (including FIN 48) and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, to the extent such information and/or explanation is readily available and within the control of the party to which such request is made. The responsibility to retain records and information shall include the responsibility to (i) retain such records and information as are required to be retained by any applicable taxing authority and (ii) retain such records and information in machine-readable format where appropriate (to the extent such records and information are in such format as of the Closing Date) such that the requesting party shall be able to readily access such records and information. Purchaser and Sellers shall (a) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to each Company and Subsidiary relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention arrangements entered into with any taxing authority, and (b) give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Purchaser, or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records at its sole cost and expense. The requesting party shall reimburse the other party for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, or costs of making employees available, upon receipt of reasonable documentation of such expenses or costs. Any information or explanation obtained pursuant to this Section 9.6.4.2 shall be maintained in confidence, except (x) as may be legally required in connection with claims for refund or in conducting or defending any Tax audit or other proceeding or (y) to the extent the disclosing party provides written permission for such disclosure.

9.6.5 Refunds and Credits.

9.6.5.1 Any refunds or credits of Taxes of a Company or Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or that are Excluded Taxes shall be for the account of Sellers. Any refunds or credits of a Company or Subsidiary for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Purchaser. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of a Company or Subsidiary for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Sellers and Purchaser. Purchaser shall, if Sellers so requests and at Sellers’ expense, file for and obtain any refunds or credits, or cause such Company or Subsidiary to file for and obtain any refunds or credits, to which Sellers is entitled under this Section 9.6.5. Purchaser shall permit Sellers to control the prosecution of any such refund claim.

-55 -

9.6.5.2 Purchaser shall cause each Company and Subsidiary to elect, where permitted by applicable Law, to carry forward any Tax asset arising in a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date that would, absent such election, be carried back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period in which such Company or Subsidiary was included in a consolidated, combined or unitary return with the Sellers or its Affiliates.

9.7 Exclusive Remedies.

9.7.1 The parties hereto agree that their respective remedies under Article 9 of this Agreement are their exclusive remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation, any matter based on the inaccuracy, untruth, incompleteness or breach of any representation or warranty of any party hereto contained herein, and the parties hereto hereby waive any claims with respect to any other right of contribution or indemnity available against any indemnifying party hereunder in such capacity on the basis of common law, statute or otherwise beyond the express terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Sellers Document or Purchaser Document; provided, further, that nothing contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 9.7.1) shall affect or impair Purchaser’s or Sellers’ right to pursue any remedy in respect of a breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein to be performed by Sellers or Purchaser after the Closing Date, and for the avoidance of doubt no such remedy shall be subject to the limitations of Section 9.2; and

9.7.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the liability for indemnification of any indemnifying party under this Agreement shall not exceed the actual damages of the party entitled to indemnification and shall not include incidental, consequential, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or other similar damages, other than compensatory damages; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent an indemnified party from being indemnified by an indemnifying party for all components of awards against the indemnified party in third party claims, including incidental, consequential, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or other similar damages.

9.8 Adjustments for Insurance and Tax Benefits. Any indemnification payable in accordance with Article 9 shall be net of any (i) amounts actually recovered (after deducting related costs and expenses) or recoverable by the indemnified party for the Losses for which such indemnification payment is made under any insurance policy, warranty or indemnity from any Person other than a party hereto and (ii) Tax benefits (in the form of an actual refund or a reduction in any Tax that would otherwise have been payable) realized by the indemnified party in respect of any Losses for which such indemnification payment is made.

-56 -
