(h) Dispute Resolution.

(i) If Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to any Earn-Out Payment payable hereunder, then either the Shareholders’ Representative or Purchaser may refer the items in dispute to the Accountants, except for matters described in (h)(ii) below. Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after acceptance of its appointment, the Accountants will determine (based solely on presentations to the Accountants by the Shareholders’ Representative and Purchaser and not by independent review) and will render a report as to the disputes and the resulting Earn-Out Payment, which report will be conclusive and binding upon the parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Accountants may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party, in each case as presented to the Accountants and subject to Section 2.02(d). The fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne by Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount not awarded to Purchaser or Shareholders bears to the amount actually contested by such party.

(ii) If Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to Purchaser’s satisfaction of the standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (f) above, then Shareholders’ Representative shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice specifying such dispute in reasonable detail and, for thirty (30) days following delivery of such notice, each of the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute prior to taking other remedial action. In the event that such dispute is not resolved after such thirty (30) day period, either Purchaser or Shareholders’ Representative may, subject to Section 2.02(d), take other action as it deems necessary to resolve such dispute including the filing of a civil action pursuant to Section 15.14. All reasonable fees (including reasonable attorneys fees) and expenses of any action, suit or proceeding regarding this Section 2.02(h)(ii) whether incurred by Purchaser or Shareholders, shall be borne (i) solely by Purchaser in the event that the Shareholders’ Representative is the prevailing party with respect to the matters on which Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative has filed such civil action, and (ii) solely by Shareholders in the event that Purchaser is the prevailing party with respect to the matters on which Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative has filed such civil action; provided, however, that neither the Shareholders nor Purchaser shall be obligated for any fees (including reasonable attorneys fees of the other) that exceed, in aggregate, for any dispute or disputes arising under this Section 2.02(h)(ii), Section 11.01(c)(ii) or Section 12.09 of this Agreement, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000); provided, further, that the foregoing fee limitation of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall not apply to any attorneys fees to which Shareholders or Purchaser may be awarded under any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree of any Governmental Entity.

Section 2.03. Pre-Closing Payables; True-Up with Prepaids Amount.

(a) All Pre-Closing Payables shall be the sole responsibility and obligation of the Shareholders. All charges against Salvage Disposal or ▇▇▇▇ for electricity, telephone, gas and water utility charges that constitute Pre-Closing Payables shall be pro-rated as of the opening of business on the Closing Date between the Shareholders and Purchaser (based upon the number of days in applicable pre-Closing and post-Closing periods). On the forty-fifth (45^th) day after the Closing Date (the “Payables Determination Date”), Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement setting forth (a) all Pre-Closing Payables, (b) copies of invoices for all such Pre-Closing Payables, and (c) the aggregate dollar amount of such Pre-Closing Payables (the “Pre-Closing Payables Amount”).

(b) If the Pre-Closing Payables Amount exceeds the Prepaids Amount by an amount (the “Pre-Closing Payables Excess Amount”) that exceeds the Holdback Amount, then Purchaser shall retain the Holdback Amount and set-off against any Deferred Payments and Earn-Out Payments otherwise payable to the Shareholders in an amount equal to the Pre-Closing Payables Excess Amount less the Holdback Amount. If there is a Pre-Closing Payables Excess Amount that does not exceed the Holdback Amount, Purchaser shall retain from the Holdback Amount the Pre-Closing Payables Excess Amount and pay the balance of the Holdback Amount to the Shareholders’ Representative for distribution to the Shareholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds within seven (7) days of the Payables Determination Date. If the Prepaids Amount exceeds the Pre-Closing Payables Amount by any amount (the “Prepaids Excess Amount”), then Purchaser shall pay (i) the Prepaids Excess Amount, and (ii) the entire Holdback Amount, to the Shareholders’ Representative for distribution to the Shareholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds within seven (7) days of the Payables Determination Date.

(c) If Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to amounts determined in the preceding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.03, then either the Shareholders’ Representative or Purchaser may refer the items in dispute to the Accountants. Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after acceptance of its appointment, the Accountants will determine (based solely on presentations to the Accountants by the Shareholders’ Representative and Purchaser and not by independent review) and will render a report as to the disputes and the resulting payments, if any, appropriate pursuant to Section 2.03, which report will be conclusive and binding upon the parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Accountants may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party, in each case as presented to the Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne by Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount not awarded to Purchaser or Shareholders bears to the amount actually contested by such party.

Section 2.04. Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities. Those assets of Salvage Disposal described below shall be transferred to the Shareholders immediately prior to Closing and shall be retained by the Shareholders and/or certain Affiliates of the Shareholders (other than Salvage Disposal and ▇▇▇▇) (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”) and shall not be conveyed to Purchaser: (a) all bank accounts used by Salvage Disposal, cash, cash equivalents and short term investments (for the avoidance of doubt, all checks written to Salvage Disposal and received by Salvage Disposal prior to the Closing shall be deposited in such accounts and all checks written by Salvage Disposal prior to the Closing but not paid prior to the Closing shall be paid out of such accounts); (b) the Owned Real Property; and (c) all of the assets set forth on Schedule 2.04.

REIMBURSEMENT OF UNCOLLECTED FUNDS

Section 10.01. Calculation of Uncollected Funds. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall commence an accounting to determine:

(a) the Vehicles not yet sold or disposed of, for which Salvage Disposal incurred Advance Charges or Tow-In Charges, or both, before Closing,

(b) the Vehicles for which Deficit Balances exist as of the Closing Date, and

(collectively the “Uncollected Funds”). The accounting shall include (i) an inventory of the physical Vehicles and (ii) an accounting of Salvage Disposal’s accounting Files and Records. The Shareholders’ Representative, or her designees, may be present to observe Purchaser performing such accounting. Purchaser and the Shareholders shall pay the fees and expenses of their respective representatives in connection with such accounting. After completion of the accounting, and within one month of Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement setting forth its calculation on a per-Vehicle basis of the Uncollected Funds (collectively the “Calculation”).

Section 10.02. Protest of Purchaser’s Calculation. Within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s delivery of its Calculation to the Shareholders’ Representative, the Shareholders’ Representative may deliver written notice (the “Protest Notice”) to Purchaser of any objections, and the basis therefor, which the Shareholders may have to Purchaser’s Calculation. The failure of the Shareholders’ Representative to deliver such Protest Notice within the prescribed time period will constitute the Shareholders acceptance of Purchaser’s Calculation. If Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Calculation within twenty (20) days following the Shareholders’ Representative’s delivery of any Protest Notice, then either the Shareholders’ Representative or Purchaser may refer the items in dispute to the Accountants. Any undisputed amount due from the Shareholders to Purchaser shall be paid in accordance with Section 10.03. Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after acceptance of its appointment, based solely on presentations to the Accountants by the Shareholders’ Representative, her designees, and Purchaser and not by independent review, the Accountants will render a decision as to the disputes and the Calculation, which decision will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Accountants may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party, in each case as presented to the Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne by the Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount not awarded to Purchaser or the Shareholders bears to the amount actually contested by such party.

Section 10.03. Reimbursement of Uncollected Funds.

(a) For Uncollected Funds which are Buyer Vehicle Receivables, (i) for all buyers that make payment in full to Salvage Disposal for their Buyer Vehicle Receivables within ten (10) days of Closing, Purchasers shall pay those funds to Shareholders’ Representative within five (5) days of receiving payment from the buyers, (ii) for all buyers that fail to make payment in full to Salvage Disposal for their Buyer Vehicle Receivables within ten (10) days of Closing, Purchaser must either (A) (I) treat the transaction as a void sale, (II) void the sale to the buyer, (III) send written notice to Shareholders’ Representative that the buyer failed to pay within the ten day period, and (IV) return Salvage Disposal’s check for sale proceeds drawn in favor of the vehicle supplier to Shareholders’ Representative, but Purchaser may only elect this option if all conditions in this subsection are met, or (B) remit payment to Shareholders’ Representative for the Buyer Vehicle Receivables.

(b) For all Uncollected Funds that are not Buyer Vehicle Receivables, on the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date (the “Period One Calculation Date”), Purchaser shall determine the sum of all such collected Uncollected Funds received by Salvage Disposal during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the Period One Calculation Date and pay such sum to the Shareholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days following the Period One Calculation Date. On the last day of the first calendar quarter following the Period One Calculation Date (the “Period Two Calculation Date”), Purchaser shall determine the sum of all collected Uncollected Funds received by Salvage Disposal during the period beginning on the first day following the Period One Calculation Date and ending on the Period Two Calculation Date and pay such sum to the Shareholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days following the Period Two Calculation Date. On the last day of the second calendar quarter

following the Period One Calculation Date (the “Period Three Calculation Date”), Purchaser shall determine the sum of all collected Uncollected Funds received by Salvage Disposal during the period beginning on the first day following the Period Two Calculation Date and ending on the Period Three Calculation Date and pay such sum to the Shareholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days following the Period Three Calculation Date. On the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall determine the sum of all collected Uncollected Funds received by Salvage Disposal during the period beginning on the first day following the Period Three Calculation Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and pay such sum to the Shareholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) Within thirty (30) days following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, with respect to any Uncollected Funds for which Salvage Disposal has not received payment as of the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall either (i) retain, and use reasonable commercial efforts to collect, such Uncollected Funds (provided that Purchaser shall not be required to exercise or employ any extraordinary collection practices or procedures with respect to any Uncollected Funds), or (ii) assign to the Shareholders’ Representative all rights to such Uncollected Funds, thereby authorizing the Shareholders’ Representative to, at her sole cost and expense, collect, or employ a third party collection service agreeable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion to collect, such Uncollected Funds.

(d) Within thirty (30) days following the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser (i) shall determine the sum of all collected Uncollected Funds received by Salvage Disposal during the period beginning on the first day following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date and pay such sum to the Shareholders’ Representative for distribution to the Shareholders and (ii) with respect to any Uncollected Funds for which Salvage Disposal has not received payment as of the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, other than any such Uncollected Funds previously assigned to the Shareholders’ Representative in accordance with Section 10.03(ii)(y), assign to the Shareholders’ Representative all rights to such Uncollected Funds, thereby authorizing the Shareholders’ Representative to, at her sole cost and expense, collect, or employ a third party collection service agreeable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion to collect, such Uncollected Funds.

Section 10.04. Shareholders’ Review of Purchaser’s Reimbursement. With each payment of collected Uncollected Funds to the Shareholders in accordance with Section 10.03, Purchaser shall provide to the Shareholders’ Representative a report (the “Collection Report”) that details, on an individual Vehicle basis, the Uncollected Funds that Purchaser collected.

Section 10.05. Protest of Collection Report. Within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s delivery of its Collection Report, the Shareholders’ Representative may deliver written notice (the “Collection Protest Notice”) to Purchaser of any objections, and the basis therefor, which the Shareholders may have to the Collection Report. The failure of the Shareholders’ Representative to deliver such Collection Protest Notice within the prescribed time period will constitute the Shareholders acceptance of the Collection Protest Notice. If Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Collection Protest Notice within twenty (20) days following the Shareholders’ Representative’s delivery of any

Collection Protest Notice, then either the Shareholders’ Representative or Purchaser may refer the items in dispute to the Accountants. Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after acceptance of its appointment, based solely on presentations to the Accountants by the Shareholders’ Representative, her designees, and Purchaser and not by independent review, the Accountants will render a decision as to the disputes and the Collection Report, which decision will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Accountants may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Party, in each case as presented to the Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne by the Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount not awarded to Purchaser or the Shareholders bears to the amount actually contested by such Party.

Section 10.06. Deposit of Received Funds. All funds, including cash, checks, money orders, or other negotiable instruments received by Salvage Disposal before Closing but not deposited before Closing (“Funds Received During Transition”) shall be deposited in the Shareholders’ account on the first Business Day after Closing. Purchaser shall provide the Shareholders’ Representative a cash log for any such deposits from the Blue Pine Salvage Management System currently in use by Salvage Disposal. Any rights Purchaser may have in returned Funds Received During Transition will be assigned to the Shareholders’ Representative. Uncollected Funds paid with Funds Received During Transition shall not be included in the Calculation provided for in Section 10.01.

ARTICLE XI.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

Section 11.01. Restrictive Covenants. The Parties agree that Purchaser is relying on the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 11.01, and that the Purchase Price is sufficient consideration to make the covenants and agreements set forth herein enforceable.

(a) Non-competition. In furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Subject Securities to Purchaser hereunder by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby, to more effectively protect the value of the Business so transferred, and to induce Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Shareholders and Verastar covenants and agrees that, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Term”), he, she or it will not, nor will he, she or it permit any of his, her or its respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, Auto Auction South) to, (i) engage, directly or indirectly, individually or as a founder, sole proprietor, owner, shareholder, director, officer, member, partner, joint venturer, employee or agent of any other Person, in the Business, or in any business which is competitive with the Business, anywhere within two hundred (200) miles of any facility of Purchaser or its Affiliates; (ii) sell, lease, assign, convey or otherwise transfer any interest in any parcel of Leased Real Property or any of the property set forth on Schedule 11.01(a) to any competitor of the Business; (iii) solicit any party who is or was a customer or supplier of the Business, or who becomes a customer or supplier of the Business at any time during the Term, for the purpose of engaging in, or assisting

any Person in engaging in, any business which competes directly with the Business; or (iv) solicit for employment any employee of Purchaser, any Subsidiary of Purchaser, Salvage Disposal, or ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit any of Shareholder, Verastar or their respective Affiliates from (i) acquiring, owning, selling, assigning, conveying or otherwise transferring any assets or equity interest in Sadisco of Macon or Sadisco of Greensboro, provided, however, that in no event shall any Shareholder, Verastar or their respective Affiliates play an active role in the day to day operations of the business of Sadisco of Macon or Sadisco of Greensboro (or any successors thereto); provided, further, that any Shareholder, Verastar or their respective Affiliates may play an active role in the sale, assignment, conveyance or transfer of such equity interest, including, without limitation, to any current or prospective competitor of the Business; (ii) hiring as an employee, independent contractor or consultant any individual formerly employed or engaged by Salvage Disposal, provided, that such former employee was not solicited for employment in violation of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11.01(a)(iv); (iii) owning not more than an aggregate of one percent (1%) of any class of stock listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market; provided that no Shareholder, Verastar or his, her or its respective Affiliates is actively engaged in the Business; or (iv) exercising its rights under any of the New Real Estate Leases.

(b) Confidentiality. The Shareholders and Verastar recognize and acknowledge that they have knowledge of confidential information concerning Salvage Disposal, ▇▇▇▇, the Business and the Assets (“Confidential Information”). In light of the foregoing, the Shareholders and Verastar shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information for the duration of the Term, except to the extent disclosure of any such information (i) is required by Law, (ii) is expressly authorized by Purchaser or its Affiliates, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (iii) reasonably occurs in connection with disputes over the terms of this Agreement. In the event that any Shareholder or Verastar reasonably believes, after consultation with counsel, that such Shareholder or Verastar is required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, such Shareholder and Verastar will provide Purchaser with prompt notice before such disclosure in order that Purchaser may attempt to obtain a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.

(i) Without limiting the right of Purchaser to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to it for violations of this Section 11.01, it is agreed that other remedies cannot fully compensate Purchaser for such a violation and that Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue immediate injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to prevent violation or continuing violation thereof. It is the intent of and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court legally empowered to enforce this Section 11.01, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 11.01 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency.

(ii) If Purchaser becomes aware of any fact, event or circumstance that any of the Shareholders has breached its obligations under Section 11.01(a), Purchaser shall have the right to immediately withhold payment of any Deferred Payments and Earn-Out Payments and, as a condition to making such withholdings, shall deliver a written notice to Shareholders’ Representative specifying such fact, event or circumstance in reasonable detail (a “Competition Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of any Competition Notice, the Shareholders shall have the right to cure, if curable, the fact, event or circumstance set forth in the Competition Notice or object to the same by written notice from the Shareholders’ Representative to Purchaser setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such objection (a “Competition Objection Notice”). If, within thirty (30) days after delivery of any Competition Notice, the Shareholders cure, to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction, the fact, event or circumstance set forth in the Competition Notice, the Shareholders shall be entitled to receive Deferred Payments and Earn-Out Payments to the extent provided in Section 2.02. If there is a dispute with respect to the sufficiency of any cure by the Shareholders, Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith for a period not less than fifteen (15) days. In the event that such dispute is not resolved after such fifteen (15) day period, either Purchaser or Shareholders’ Representative may take other action as it deems necessary to resolve such dispute including the filing of a civil action pursuant to Section 15.14. In the event of an action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 11.01(c)(ii), (i) all fees (including reasonable attorneys fees) and expenses of such action, suit or proceeding, whether incurred by Purchaser or Shareholders, shall be borne (A) solely by Purchaser in the event that the Shareholders’ Representative is the prevailing party with respect to the matters on which Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative has filed such civil action, and (B) solely by Shareholders in the event that Purchaser is the prevailing party with respect to the matters on which Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative has filed such civil action; provided, however, that neither the Shareholders nor Purchaser shall be obligated for any fees (including reasonable attorneys fees of the other) that exceed, in aggregate, for any dispute or disputes arising under this Section 11.01(c)(ii), 2.02(h)(ii) or Section 12.09 of this Agreement, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000); provided, further, that the foregoing fee limitation of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall not apply to any attorneys fees to which Shareholders or Purchaser may be awarded under any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree of any Governmental Entity. In the event that there is a final determination that Shareholders have breached Section 11.01(a) following any action, suit or Proceeding filed under this Section 11.01(c), the Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive payment of any portion of the Deferred Payments or Earn-Out Payments that is unearned as of the date of the breach. The remedies provided in this section shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the remedies provided in Section 11.01(c)(i) (provided, however, that any Losses that Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to seek for a breach of this Section 11.01 pursuant to Section 12.02 shall be reduced by the amount of Deferred Payments not paid, or Earn-Out Payments earned by Shareholders but not paid, by Purchaser due to an alleged breach of Section 11.01(a) by any Shareholder), and nothing stated herein shall limit or alter Purchaser’s right to seek immediate injunctive relief to remedy a violation of Shareholders’ obligations under Section 11.01(c)(i).

ARTICLE XII.

From and after the Closing Date each of the Shareholders shall severally but not jointly, indemnify, defend and save Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, and shall pay to a Purchaser Indemnified Party or reimburse a Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party relating to, resulting from, arising out of or otherwise by virtue of (a) the Shareholders failing to be the sole record and beneficial owner of the Shares shown as owned by such Shareholder on Exhibit A, free and clear of all Encumbrances or other restrictions; (b) failure to obtain any consent required for the transfer of such Shareholder’s Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or which is required for the consummation by such Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, options or other voting, purchase or sale rights in or to such Shareholder’s Shares; (d) any breach of a Fundamental Representation; or (e) any indemnification obligation under Section 12.02(f); provided, however, that each Shareholder’s liability under this Section 12.05 shall be limited to the aggregate portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Shareholder.

Section 12.06. Special Rule for Fraud and Intentional Misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XII to the contrary,

in the event of any breach of a representation or warranty by the Shareholders that involves actual fraud (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, constructive fraud) or an intentional misrepresentation, the limitations set forth in Sections 12.04 and 12.11 shall not apply to the extent of any Losses that any Purchaser Indemnified Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to as a direct result of such actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

Section 12.07. Procedure. If a claim (other than a Tax Claim (as defined in Section 13.01(f)), the conduct of which shall be governed by Section 13.01(f)) for Losses (a “Claim”) is to be made by a Purchaser Indemnified or a Shareholder Indemnified Party (the maker of such Claim being referred to herein as the “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to (a) the Shareholders’ Representative, in the case of indemnification pursuant to Section 12.02 and (b) Purchaser in the case of indemnification pursuant to Section 12.03 (the recipient of such notice referred to below as the “Indemnifying Party”), in either case as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article XII. The Claim Notice shall contain detail describing the basis for the Claim and, to the extent available, the calculation of the amount thereof. The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party such information and cooperation as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request to enable the Indemnifying Party to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.08. Third Party Claims. If any lawsuit or other action is filed or instituted by a third party against any Indemnified Party with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder, notice thereof (a “Third Party Notice”) shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent of actual damage caused by such failure. After receipt of a Third Party Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to (a) take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (b) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost, risk and expense, and (c) compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom, and the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall also cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Third Party Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim (all at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate therein at its own cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for any and all Indemnified Parties (which firm shall be designated in writing by such Indemnified Party or Parties, subject to the approval of the Indemnifying Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in connection with any one such action or proceeding arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances and in no event shall any compromise or settlement be made without written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 12.09. Right of Set-Off. In addition to any other rights and remedies of Purchaser under this Article XII, this Agreement, any other Related Agreement, or otherwise arising by Law, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12.09, Purchaser may satisfy in the form of a set-off against any amounts due to the Shareholders or its Affiliates by Purchaser under Section 2.02 of this Agreement (a “Set-Off”), not to exceed the Cap (except with respect to Sections 12.05 and 12.06): (i) the amount of any indemnification to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled under Section 12.02, and (ii) the amount of any excess of the Pre-Closing Payables Amount over the Holdback Amount under Section 2.03. If Purchaser intends to seek a Set-Off, Purchaser shall promptly deliver a written notice to the Shareholders’ Representative specifying in reasonable detail the amount of and basis for a set-off (a “Set-Off Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of any Set-Off Notice, the Shareholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, shall have the right to cure the basis for a Set-Off set forth in the Set-Off Notice or object to the same by written notice to Purchaser setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such objection (a “Set-Off Objection Notice”). If, within thirty (30) days after delivery of any Set-Off Notice, the Shareholders’ Representative has not cured the basis for a Set-Off described in the Set-Off Notice, or delivered a Set-Off Objection Notice, Purchaser shall be entitled to the Set-Off in the amount described in the Set-Off Notice. If, within thirty (30) days after delivery of any Set-Off Notice, the Shareholders’ Representative cures the basis for a Set-Off described in the Set-Off Notice, Purchaser shall not be entitled to the Set-Off described in the Set-Off Notice. If, within thirty (30) days after delivery of any Set-Off Notice, the Shareholders’ Representative delivers a Set-Off Objection Notice, or if there is a dispute with respect to the sufficiency of any cure by the Shareholders’ Representative, Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith for a period not less than fifteen (15) days to resolve such dispute prior to taking other remedial action. In the event that such dispute is not resolved after such fifteen (15) day period, either Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative may take other action as it deems necessary to resolve such dispute including the filing of a civil action pursuant to Section 15.14; provided, however, that all fees (including reasonable attorneys fees) and expenses of any action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 12.09, whether incurred by Purchaser or Shareholders, shall be borne (A) solely by Purchaser in the event that the Shareholders’ Representative is the prevailing party with respect to the matters on which Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative has filed such civil action, and (B) solely by Shareholders in the event that Purchaser is the prevailing party with respect to the matters on which Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative has filed such civil action; provided, however, that neither the Shareholders nor Purchaser shall be obligated for any fees (including reasonable attorneys fees of the other) that exceed, in aggregate, for any dispute or disputes arising under this Section 12.09, 2.02(h)(ii) or Section 11.01(c)(ii) of this Agreement, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000); provided, further, that the foregoing fee limitation of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall not apply to any attorneys fees to which Shareholders or Purchaser may be awarded under any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree of any Governmental Entity.

Section 12.10. Treatment of Indemnification Claims. For all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price except as otherwise provided by

Law. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of (i) any insurance proceeds actually received, and (ii) any Tax net benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence of payment or accrual of any such indemnified amount and receipt of an indemnity payment, in each case, through the end of the taxable year in which the indemnity payment is received. Purchaser agrees to cause Salvage Disposal to continue to maintain insurance coverage with respect to all matters for which the Shareholders have agreed to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article XII, in amounts and on terms no less favorable to Salvage Disposal than the insurance maintained prior to the Closing and to so maintain such insurance until such indemnity obligations have expired.

Section 12.11. Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 12.05, 12.06, from and after the Closing, the indemnification rights provided by this Article XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, except for the right to seek specific performance of any of the agreements contained herein.

ARTICLE XIII.

All such Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in accordance with applicable Law. The Shareholders’ Representative shall submit each of the Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns to Purchaser for review at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return (taking into account any extensions). Purchaser’s sole right to review and comment on each Pre-Closing Income Tax Return shall be limited to determinations of whether the contents of the Pre-Closing Income Tax Return comply with applicable Law. Purchaser shall have twenty (20 days to review and comment on each Pre-Closing Income Tax Return in accordance with the preceding sentence prior to the filing of such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return. If Purchaser does not submit any comments to the Shareholders with respect to the

Pre-Closing Income Tax Return within the said twenty (20) day period, such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return shall be considered to be approved by Purchaser. If the Shareholders shall fail to submit any Pre-Closing Income Tax Return to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 13.01(b), Purchaser shall have the right to prepare and file such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return. The Shareholders and Purchaser agree to consult and resolve in good faith any issues and comments arising as a result of the review of each Pre-Closing Income Tax Return, and mutually to consent to filing as promptly as possible each Pre-Closing Income Tax Return. The Shareholders shall timely pay or cause to be paid to the relevant taxing authority all Income Taxes attributable to the net income of Salvage Disposal and ▇▇▇▇ that is reflected on each Pre-Closing Tax Return (as finally determined under this Section 13.01(b)).

(c) Straddle Period. Purchaser shall timely prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of Salvage Disposal required to be filed by Salvage Disposal with respect to a period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) relating to Income Taxes (such Tax Returns, the “Purchaser’s Returns”). All such Purchaser’s Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with the past practice of Salvage Disposal unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Shareholders’ Representative shall pay to Purchaser at least three (3) days prior to the date on which Taxes are due with respect to any Straddle Period (taking into account extensions) an amount equal to the portion of the Taxes for such Straddle Period (as finally determined under this Section 13.01(c)) that are allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 13.01(d)). Purchaser shall deliver, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of each Purchaser’s Return (taking into account extensions), to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement setting forth the amount of Tax for which the Shareholders are collectively responsible pursuant to this Section 13.01(c) with respect to such Tax Return and copies of such Tax Return.

(d) Last Day of Taxable Period. If Salvage Disposal is permitted under any applicable foreign, state or local income tax Law to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a Taxable period, the Shareholders and Purchaser shall treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) the Closing Date as the last day of a Taxable period. For all purposes under this Agreement, in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the close of the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of Taxes that are (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, (y) imposed in connection with the sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), (z) employment, social security or other similar taxes, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended on the close of the Closing Date using the interim “closing of the books” method; and (ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to any assets or otherwise measured by the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the close of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

(e) Tax Cooperation. The Shareholders’ Representative and Purchaser shall, upon written request of the other, (i) each provide the other, and Purchaser shall cause Salvage Disposal to provide the Shareholders’ Representative, with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by any of them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, audit, or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, (ii) each retain and provide the other, and Purchaser shall cause Salvage Disposal to retain and provide the Shareholders’ Representative with, any records or other information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding, or determination, and (iii) each provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding, or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other or Salvage Disposal for any period.

Each party shall bear its own expenses in complying with the foregoing provisions

(f) Tax Contests. Purchaser shall promptly notify the Shareholders’ Representative in writing upon receipt by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of notice of any audits, examinations, adjustments or assessments relating to Taxes for which any of Purchaser or Salvage Disposal may be entitled to receive indemnity under this Agreement (each, a “Tax Claim”). Failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Shareholders from any indemnification obligation which they may have under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Shareholders are prejudiced thereby. The Shareholders’ Representative, in its sole discretion on behalf of the Shareholders, may contest such Tax Claim in any permissible forum and shall otherwise have the sole right at its sole expense to direct, control and settle any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to such Tax Claim, provided that (i) the Shareholders’ Representative notify Purchaser in writing within ten (10) days of Purchaser’s notification of the Shareholders’ Representative of such Tax Claim of its intent to exercise their right to direct, control, and settle such Tax Claim, (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to participate at its sole expense in such administrative or judicial proceedings and (iii) to the extent any settlement of any such proceeding is reasonably expected to increase any Tax or result in any Liability to Purchaser, Salvage Disposal or ▇▇▇▇ in respect of any Tax or Liability not indemnified under this Agreement by the Shareholders at the time of such settlement, the Shareholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, may not settle any such proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. At such time as such request is received by Purchaser, Purchaser or Salvage Disposal, as the case may be, will furnish the Shareholders’ Representative and/or its representatives with powers of attorney or any other documentation or authorization necessary or appropriate to enable the Shareholders’ Representative and/or its representatives to control the conduct of such audit or other proceeding. Purchaser shall control the conduct of all stages of all other audits or other administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to Taxes of Salvage Disposal. Purchaser and Salvage Disposal shall not, and shall not

permit any of their Affiliates to, accept any proposed adjustment or enter into any settlement or agreement in compromise regarding any Taxes of Salvage Disposal for which the Shareholders may have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.01(g) to the contrary, at least three (3) days prior to the Closing, Salvage Disposal shall provide Purchaser with a properly signed copy of Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 and any comparable form under foreign, state or local Law (including, in each case, any successor form) effecting the Section 338(h)(10) Election. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall agree upon a proposed calculation of (A) the Aggregate Deemed Sale Price and the Aggregate Grossed-Up Basis (as such terms are defined in the Treasury Regulations, which allocation shall be consistent with the information provided to Purchaser for purposes of determining the IRC Section 338(h)(10) gross-up) and (B) the allocation thereof among the assets of Salvage Disposal in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations (the “Deemed Sales Price Allocation”).

(h) Other Tax Agreements. All tax allocation and tax sharing agreements, arrangements, policies and guidelines, formal or informal, express or implied, that may exist between Salvage Disposal or ▇▇▇▇, on one hand, and the Shareholders or any of their Affiliates (other than Salvage Disposal or ▇▇▇▇), on the other hand, and all obligations and rights thereunder, shall terminate as of the Closing Date, will have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year), and Salvage Disposal shall cease to have any liability to make or rights to receive any payment thereunder for any amounts due in respect of periods ending prior to or on or after the Closing Date.

(i) Transfer and Other Taxes.

(k) Amended Tax Returns. Unless otherwise required by Law, Purchaser shall not amend, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to amend, any Tax Return pertaining to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Shareholders.

(l) Income Tax Refunds.

(b) With respect to any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained for the benefit of employees of Salvage Disposal from and after the Closing by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including Salvage Disposal) (each a “Purchaser Plan”) and any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans benefiting employees of Salvage Disposal, for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting and early retirement subsidies (but not for purposes of benefit accruals), each Continuing Employee’s service with Salvage Disposal shall be treated as service with Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or (ii) such service was not recognized by Salvage Disposal immediately prior to the Closing under the applicable similar benefit plan.

(c) To the extent permitted under the applicable Purchaser Plan, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including Salvage Disposal) to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including Salvage Disposal) in which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable benefit plan of Salvage Disposal immediately prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted under the applicable

Purchaser Plan, recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee (and his, her or its eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing; provided, that such recognition shall only be required with respect to any Continuing Employee to the extent such Continuing Employee provides documentation to Purchaser, which documentation is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, setting forth or otherwise showing the amount of co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses which are to be taken into consideration for the relevant Purchaser Plan.

(d) Nothing in this Section 13.02, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Plan or Purchaser Plan.
