(b) the claim arises as a result of any changes made after Closing in the accounting bases, policies, practices or treatment of a Buyer or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates; or

(c) the claim arises or is increased through the failure or omission by any Acquired Company after Closing to make any claim, election, surrender, disclaimer or to do any other thing which was taken into account in computing the provision for Tax in the Accounts; or

(d) any relief or other deduction arising before Closing is available (or would have been available but for the failure by an Acquired Company to make an election after Closing) to reduce or otherwise mitigate the liability, provided that any such election, reduction, or mitigation would not cause an increase in liability for Tax in a Post-Closing Tax Period, of any Acquired Company for Tax which is the subject of such claim.

13.2.5.4 Seller shall not be liable for any claim to the extent that allowance, provision or reserve for the matter giving rise to such claim has been made and clearly identified as an allowance, provision or reserve for such matter in the Pro Forma Accounts and has been taken into account for the purposes of determining Net Working Capital.

13.2.5.5 Neither Seller nor Altor shall be liable for any claim to the extent arising or increased directly or indirectly as a result of any voluntary act or omission of any Buyer or any

56

of the Buyers’ Affiliates (including, following Closing, the Acquired Companies) after the date of this Agreement save, in each case, for any act, omission or transaction (i) required by any Buyer, any of the Buyers’ Affiliates or any Acquired Company by any obligation existing prior to the date of this Agreement or by applicable law; or (ii) carried out in the ordinary course consistent with past practices of the Acquired Companies.

13.2.5.6 Neither Seller nor Altor shall be liable for any claim to the extent that the liability arises or is increased as a result of any legislation not in force at the Closing Date.

13.2.5.7 Nothing in this Agreement shall in any manner limit the Buyers’ or any Acquired Company’s duty to mitigate its Loss under applicable law.

13.2.5.8 Neither Seller nor Altor shall be liable for any claim to the extent that:

(a) the matter giving rise to such claim has been made good or Buyers are otherwise compensated for the Loss;

(b) or the claim is recoverable under any insurance policy (or would have been recoverable had Buyers and their Affiliates maintained in force insurance coverage for the Acquired Companies similar to that in force at Closing).

13.2.5.9 If any Loss for which the Seller and/or Altor are liable under this Agreement is a tax-deductible item for any Buyer or any Acquired Company, the recoverable loss or cost shall be reduced only by an amount equivalent to the net reduction in Taxes actually realized by any Buyer or Acquired Company that is directly attributable to such tax deductible item.

13.2.5.10 Where a Buyer or an Acquired Company is entitled to recover from any Person (not being an Acquired Company) a sum which indemnifies or compensates Buyers or the Acquired Company (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter of the claim, Buyers shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Seller and Altor thereof in writing and:

(a) Seller and/or Altor shall, if subrogation is possible and the claim relates to an existing customer or supplier of the Transferred Business or an Excluded Loss, be subrogated to all rights that Buyers have, or the Acquired Company has, in respect of the claim against the Person and Buyers shall, and shall procure that the relevant Acquired Company shall, subject to reasonable notice, make available during normal office hours any representatives and/or information reasonably requested by Seller and/or Altor for the purposes of pursuing such subrogated rights; or

(b) if subrogation is not possible or the claim does not relate to an existing customer of the Transferred Business or an Excluded Loss, Buyers shall, and shall procure that the relevant Acquired Company shall, take all steps as Seller and/or Altor may reasonably require to enforce recovery of such amount.

57

Buyers shall keep Seller and Altor fully informed of the progress of such recovery and shall provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation. Upon recovery of such amount by a Buyer or an Acquired Company, Buyers shall:

(i) deduct the full amount recovered less any reasonable costs properly incurred and documented in obtaining such recovery from the claim (if the entitlement of a Buyer and/or an Acquired Company to recover arose before payment is made by Seller or Altor under the claim); or

(ii) repay to Seller or Altor (as applicable) the lesser of such amount paid by Seller or Altor to Buyers under the claim or the full amount recovered by Buyers less any reasonable costs properly incurred and documented in obtaining such recovery (if the entitlement to recover arose after payment had been made by Seller and/or Altor under the claim).

13.2.5.11 Buyers shall not be entitled to recover from Seller and/or Altor under this Agreement more than once in respect of the same Loss suffered. For the avoidance of doubt, recovery by any Acquired Company or Buyers’ Affiliate shall be deemed to be recovery by Buyers.

13.3 Set-off

In the event of Buyers’ claim for Loss caused by breach of a Seller’s Warranty or Altor’s Warranty not covered by the R&W Insurance and/or any claims for any other breach of this Agreement, Altor shall designate whether such claim shall be set-off against any amount outstanding under the Notes or paid in cash (or a combination thereof). Should Altor (i) fail to make such designation within ten (10) Business Days after such claim has been finally determined; or (ii) in the event that Altor have designated that such claim shall be paid (wholly or partly) in cash and Altor and/or Seller fail to pay in full such cash amount ten (10) Business Days after the designation was duly made, Buyers shall be entitled, at their sole discretion, to set-off such claims against any amount outstanding under the Notes.

13.4 Fraud, etc.

The limitations of Seller’s or Altor’s liability set forth in Clause 13 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to exclude or limit any claim (whether as to the quantum of the claim, the time limit for notification of the claim, the procedures or requirements for making a claim or otherwise) for willful default, fraud or gross negligence on the part of Seller or Altor.

58

14. Specific indemnifications

14.1 Excluded Loss, etc.

14.1.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement and furthermore notwithstanding Buyers’ Knowledge, Seller and Altor shall, jointly and severally, compensate Buyers on a USD by USD basis for:

(a) any and all Excluded Losses suffered by a Buyer or any Acquired Company, including any claims that may be made after the Closing against Seller or the Acquired Companies by third-parties relating to any Excluded Loss; and

(b) any and all Loss suffered by a Buyer or any Acquired Company resulting from or otherwise related to or as a consequence of the events and circumstances set forth in Schedule 14.1.1(b).

14.1.2 In the event that an indemnification obligation based on the same set of facts and circumstances arises under Clause 14.1.1 and Clause 14.2, Clause 14.1.1 shall govern. In the event that an indemnification obligation based on the same set of facts and circumstances arises under Clause 13.1.3(b) and Clause 14.2, Buyers shall first make such indemnification claim under the R&W Insurance to the extent indemnified thereunder, and any amounts due to Buyer pursuant to Clause 14.2 but not recovered by Buyer under the R&W Insurance shall remain subject to the indemnification obligation under Clause 14.2; provided further that facts and circumstances resulting in a Loss that create an indemnification obligation under Clause 14.2 but that do not create an indemnification obligation under Clause 13.1.3(b) shall remain subject to the indemnification obligation under Clause 14.2.

14.1.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligation in Clause 14.1.1(a) shall not be subject to any other limitations than the three (3) year limitation in time in Clause 13.2.1.1 including any extension of such time period made in accordance with Clause 13.2.1.1 and the limitation in amount in Clause 13.2.2.5.

14.2 Tax indemnity

From and after the Closing, each Buyer and each Acquired Company shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement and furthermore notwithstanding Buyers’ Knowledge, be indemnified by Seller and Altor, jointly and severally, from and against any Taxes and Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of Seller and the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (ii) all Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any of the Acquired Companies is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to US Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law; and (iii) any Taxes and Losses attributable to or arising from a breach by Seller of a covenant in Clause 19; provided, however, that Buyers shall not be indemnified to the extent

59

such Taxes were taken into account in determining the Purchase Price, as finally determined under Clause 8. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Acquired Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes of the Acquired Companies for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

14.3 Environmental indemnity

14.3.1 Seller and Altor shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, and hold each Buyer harmless from and against all Loss resulting from, arising out of or to the extent caused by any Remedial Action required pursuant to Environmental Law or otherwise required by a governmental authority, or any noncompliance with Environmental Law as of the effective date of this Agreement, in relation to the study described in Schedule 9.5 or the specific environmental issues set forth in Schedule 14.3.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyers shall not be entitled to indemnity for any environmental condition identified by sampling, testing, or similar measures undertaken by Buyers or any Acquired Company on any property of the Acquired Companies or Seller’s Group after the Closing Date in breach of Clause 9.5.

14.3.2 Seller’s and Altor’s liability to compensate Buyers for Loss pursuant to Clause 14.3.1 in relation to any Remedial Action required pursuant to Environmental Law or otherwise required by a governmental authority in relation to the study described in Schedule 9.5 or otherwise shall not exceed a maximum amount of USD 5,000,000. However, Buyers shall only be entitled to be indemnified for the amount of Loss that exceeds USD 500,000 and Seller and Altor shall only be liable to compensate the Buyers to an amount that corresponds to 80% of the Loss. The limitation in amount of Seller’s and Altor’s liability in this Clause 14.3.2 is applicable only to this Clause and shall not limit the Seller’s and Altor’s liability in relation to any other claims for breach of this Agreement.

15. Conduct of Third Party Claims

15.1 Except for any Tax contests described in and governed by Clause 19.5, if a Buyer or any of Buyers’ Affiliates becomes aware of any claim or potential claim against it by another person (a “Third Party Claim”) which is reasonably likely to lead to a claim against Seller and/or Altor as set forth in Clause 13.1.3(a) through (e) or in relation to any of the specific indemnities set forth in Clause 14, Buyers shall and shall procure that their Affiliates (as applicable) shall:

15.1.1 as soon as reasonably practicable give Seller and Altor notice in writing of the Third Party Claim;

60

15.1.2 make no admission of liability or settle or compromise the Third Party Claim without prior consultation with Seller and Altor;

15.1.3 for the duration of the Third Party Claim provide Seller, Altor and their advisers with such information relating to the Third Party Claim as they may reasonably request (including reasonable access to premises and personnel on reasonable notice);

15.1.4 take such actions as Seller or Altor may reasonably request in order to avoid, defend, dispute, mitigate, appeal, settle or compromise the Third Party Claim, save that the relevant Buyer or the relevant Buyers’ Affiliate may employ its own professional advisers; and

15.1.5 each of Seller and Altor shall be entitled at its own expense and in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to Buyer, and to the extent such Third Party Claim relates to the ordinary course of the Transferred Business (except for any Excluded Loss) subject to Seller and/or Altor confirming in such notice that Seller and/or Altor are liable for such Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to take any action in order to avoid, defend, dispute, mitigate, appeal, settle or compromise the Third Party Claim in the name of and on behalf of any Acquired Company concerned and such Acquired Company shall, at the request by Seller or Altor, issue any powers of attorney reasonably required or convenient for the purpose of taking any such action in the name of and on behalf of such Acquired Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Altor shall always be entitled at its own expense and in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to Buyer, to take any action in order to avoid, defend, dispute, mitigate, appeal, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim relating to an Excluded Loss in the name of and on behalf of any Acquired Company concerned and such Acquired Company shall, at the request by Seller or Altor, issue any powers of attorney reasonably required or convenient for the purpose of taking any such action in the name of and on behalf of such Acquired Company.

15.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 15, failure by Buyers to comply with the provisions in this Clause 15 shall only reduce Seller’s and Altor’s liability to compensate Buyers for the relevant Third Party Claim if and to the extent such failure has prejudiced Seller’s or Altor’s rights or increased the Loss.

15.3 The obligations of Buyers and their Affiliates under Clauses 15.1.2 through 15.1.5 shall not apply to a Third Party Claim except for a Third Party Claim relating to an Excluded Loss if, in the reasonable opinion of Buyers, their performance would require a Buyer, any Buyers’ Affiliate or Acquired Company to do or omit to do any act or thing which act or omission would cause a liability or otherwise have an adverse effect for Buyers, any Buyers’ Affiliate and/or any Acquired Company to an amount equal to or exceeding a USD 1,000,000 in addition to any Loss incurred in relation to such Third Party Claim.

61

16. Buyers’ indemnification

Buyers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Seller and Altor harmless from and against all Loss resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of Buyers’ Warranty or breach or non-fulfilment of a covenant or any other breach of the Agreement on the part of Buyers.

16.1 Limitations

16.1.1 Any claim by Seller or Altor for breach of a Buyers’ Warranty may be made until 12 months after the Closing Date, provided that such limit in time shall not apply to claims for breach of any Buyers’ Warranty contained in Clause 11.1 (Buyers’ right and power) or breach or non-fulfilment of a covenant or any other breach of the Agreement on the part of a Buyer which may be made until three (3) years after the Closing Date.

16.1.2 A claim against Buyers for breach of a Buyers’ Warranty shall be notified in writing to Buyers’ as soon as reasonably practicable after a Seller or Altor (as applicable) has become aware of the breach in question and in any event within 40 Business Days. Where the liability of Buyers in respect of such claim is increased as a result of any breach by Seller or Altor of this Clause 16.1.2, Buyers shall not be liable in respect of such increase.

16.1.3 Neither Seller nor Altor shall be entitled to compensation for a Loss due to a breach of Buyers’ Warranties (other than claims for breach of Clause 11.1 (Buyers’ right and power)) unless the amount of such Loss (or series or pattern or related Losses) exceeds USD 50,000 and the aggregate of such Losses exceeds and amount of USD 500,000 provided that Seller and Altor shall be entitled to be indemnified for the full amount of the Loss if and when the Loss equals or exceeds such amount.

16.1.4 Buyers’ liability under this Clause 16, as a result of a breach of Clauses 11.2 through 11.3, shall in no circumstance exceed an amount of USD 10,000,000.

16.1.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties have agreed that Buyers’ aggregate liability to compensate Seller and/or Altor in respect of all breaches of this Agreement shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

16.1.6 If any Loss for which the Buyers are liable under this Agreement is a tax-deductible item for Seller or Altor, the recoverable loss or cost shall be reduced only by an amount equivalent to the net reduction in Taxes actually realized by Seller or Altor that is attributable to such tax deductible item.

16.2 Miscellaneous

16.2.1 If a Loss has occurred before such date referred to in Clause 16.1.1 but the amount of the Loss cannot reasonably be quantified by Seller or Altor at that time, Seller or Altor may, within the time lines specified in Clause 16.1.1, forward a claim without

62

including any specification of the amount. In such case Seller or Altor shall, within a reasonable time after the amount can be quantified, provide Buyers with said information.

16.2.2 The limitations set forth in Clause 16.1 shall not apply to exclude or limit any claim (whether as to the quantum of the claim, the time limit for notification of the claim, the procedures or requirements for making a claim or otherwise) for willful default, fraud, deliberate non-disclosure or gross negligence on the part of a Buyer.

17. Altor’s indemnification

Altor shall indemnify and hold each Buyer harmless from and against all Loss resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of Altor’s Warranty or breach or non-fulfilment of a covenant or any other breach of the Agreement on the part of Altor.

17.1 Limitations

17.1.1 Any claim by Buyers for breach of an Altor’s Warranty or breach or non-fulfilment of a covenant or any other breach of the Agreement on the part of Altor may be made until 3 years after the Closing Date.

17.1.2 A claim against Altor for breach of an Altor’s Warranty shall be notified in writing to Altor as soon as reasonably practicable after a Buyer has become aware of the breach in question and in any event within 40 Business Days. Where the liability of Altor in respect of such claim is increased as a result of any breach by a Buyer of this Clause 17.1.2, Altor shall not be liable in respect of such increase.

17.1.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties have agreed that Altor’s aggregate liability to compensate Buyers in respect of all breaches of this Agreement shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

17.2 Miscellaneous

17.2.1 If a Loss has occurred before such date referred to in Clause 17.1.1 but the amount of the Loss cannot reasonably be quantified by Buyers at that time, Buyers may, within the time lines specified in Clause 17.1.1, forward a claim without including any specification of the amount. In such case Buyers shall, within a reasonable time after the amount can be quantified, provide Altor with said information.

17.2.2 The limitations set forth in Clause 17.1 shall not apply to exclude or limit any claim (whether as to the quantum of the claim, the time limit for notification of the claim, the procedures or requirements for making a claim or otherwise) for willful default, fraud, deliberate non-disclosure or gross negligence on the part of Altor.

63

18. Restrictions on Seller

18.1 For the purpose of assuring to Buyers the full benefit of the business, goodwill and know-how of the Acquired Companies, Seller and/or its Subsidiaries and/or Altor shall not during the period of 36 months after the Closing Date:

(a) directly or indirectly carry out or be engaged in any business that competes with the business of the Acquired Companies as conducted on the Closing Date;

(b) directly or indirectly solicit or entice away from the Acquired Companies any person who is on the Closing Date a Key Employee; or

(c) directly or indirectly solicit or entice away from the Acquired Companies any person, firm or company who is on the Closing Date a customer or supplier of, or consultants engaged by, the Acquired Companies.

18.2 The restrictions in Clause 18.1(a) shall not prohibit Seller or its Subsidiaries or Altor from:

(a) directly or indirectly carry out or be engaged in any business that competes with the business of the Acquired Companies as conducted on the Closing Date after such time as Buyers cease to carry on or be engaged in a substantial part of such business; and/or

(b) holding or being interested in up to five (5) per cent. of the outstanding issued share capital of a company listed on any recognized stock exchange.

18.3 The restrictions in Clause 18.1(b) shall not prevent any contact or solicitation made in connection with general advertisement or through an employment agency or recruitment consultant not specifically aimed at such employees.

18.4 For the purpose of Clause 18.5, “Confidential Information” means all non-public information (whether oral or written or in visual, electronic or tangible form) regarding or otherwise relating to the Acquired Companies or to any of their affairs or other business matters which Altor or Seller has become aware of before the Closing Date or which any of Altor’s or Seller’s current or former board members, officers/managers or employees have become aware of before the Closing Date resulting from or otherwise related to or as a consequence of him or her being such a board member, officer/manager or employee (as the case may be) or having served as board member in the Acquired Companies.

18.5 For the purpose of assuring to Buyers the full benefit of the business, goodwill and know-how of the Acquired Companies, Altor and Seller shall at all times:

(a) keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential and not disclose it (or permit it to be disclosed) to any third party or itself use it (or permit it to be used) for any purpose whatsoever; and

(b) ensure that all board members, officers/managers and employees referred to in Clause 18.4 keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential and not disclose it (or permit it to be disclosed) to any third party or themselves use it (or permit it to be used) for any purpose whatsoever,

64

without the prior written consent of Buyers, except if, and to the extent that, (i) such disclosure is required by law or any binding stock exchange rules, (ii) such disclosure is required in connection with necessary and confidential contacts with competent authorities, (iii) such disclosure is required in connection with arbitration proceedings dealing with the Parties’ obligations under the Agreement, (iv) the information is or becomes publicly available (other than through a breach of this Agreement), or (v) the information is independently developed after Closing, provided, however, that this Clause 18.5 shall not in any way limit or restrict the Acquired Companies right and ability to carry on its business until the occurrence of Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, any unpermitted disclosure or use of Confidential Information by a person comprised by (b) shall be considered as a breach of Altor or Seller (as applicable).

18.6 Notwithstanding Clause 21.7, this Clause 18 is for the benefit of Buyers as direct or indirect owners of the Transferred Shares and for each of their successors in title, and may be assigned by a Buyer, or by and of its successors in title, without the consent of Altor or Seller.

19. Tax Matters

The provisions of this Clause 19 shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and the Acquired Companies on the one hand, and Seller on the other hand, for certain Tax matters following the Closing.

19.1 Responsibility for filing tax returns

19.1.1 Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Seller’s Group Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies for all taxable periods.

19.1.2 To the extent that any Acquired Company is permitted under applicable Law to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period in which the Closing occurs, Seller and Buyers shall treat (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to treat) the Closing Date as the last day of such taxable period with respect to such Acquired Company.

19.1.3 Except with respect to RTI, Buyers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all non-Seller’s Group Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods which have not yet been filed as of the Closing Date (“non-Seller’s Group Tax Returns”). At least 30 days prior to the date on which each such non-Seller’s Group Tax Return is due, Buyers shall submit such tax return (and all relevant work papers and other items required to understand such tax return or

65

other items as reasonably requested by Seller) to Seller for Seller’s review, comment and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Seller and Buyers shall work together in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to any tax returns described in this Clause 19, provided that, to the extent there remains any disagreement between Seller and Buyers with respect to such tax returns, the procedures and rules set forth in the dispute resolution mechanism described in Clause 3.2 of Schedule 2.1(c) shall govern. If any dispute with respect to a tax return is not resolved prior to the due date of such tax return, such tax return shall be filed in the manner prepared by Buyers without prejudice to the resolution of such dispute; provided that, once the resolution of such dispute has been determined, such tax returns shall be, if necessary, re-filed or amended to include the final determination of such dispute. Solely to the extent Seller is responsible for such amounts pursuant to Clause 14.2, Seller shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes reflected as due on all tax returns described in this Clause 19 attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, no later than five (5) days after the due date for such tax returns. Buyers shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes reflected as due on all non-Seller’s Group Tax Returns attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period.

19.1.4 With respect to RTI, Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all RTI U.S. federal, state and local tax returns for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods which have not yet been filed as of the Closing Date (“RTI Tax Return”). At least 30 days prior to the date on which each RTI Tax Return is due, Sellers shall submit such tax return (and all relevant work papers and other items required to understand such tax return or other items as reasonably requested by Buyer) to Buyer for Buyer’s review, comment and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Seller and Buyers shall work together in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to any RTI Tax Return provided that, to the extent there remains any disagreement between Seller and Buyers with respect to such tax returns, the procedures and rules set forth in the dispute resolution mechanism described in Clause 3.2 of Schedule 2.1(c) shall govern. If any dispute with respect to a RTI Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such tax return, such tax return shall be filed in the manner prepared by Sellers without prejudice to the resolution of such dispute; provided that, once the resolution of such dispute has been determined, such RTI Tax Return shall be, if necessary, re-filed or amended to include the final determination of such dispute. Solely to the extent Seller is responsible for such amounts pursuant to Clause 14.2, Seller shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes reflected as due on all RTI Tax Returns attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, no later than the due date (without extension) for such RTI Tax Returns.

19.2 Transfer Taxes

Any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively,

66

“Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to Transfer Taxes shall be paid when due (i) by Seller, to the extent imposed as a result of the Restructuring, and (ii) otherwise split evenly between Buyers and Seller. Buyers will file all necessary tax returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes. Buyers and Seller shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, cooperate in the filing of such tax returns and other documentation, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such tax returns and other documentation, and join in the execution of any such tax returns and other documentation.

19.3 Buyers’ covenant

Each Buyer covenants that it shall not, and shall not cause or permit, without Seller’s prior written consent, any Acquired Company to (a) make any election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 that is effective on or before the Closing Date, (b) file an amended tax return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period, (c) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, or permit the Acquired Company to extend or waive, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (d) make or change any Tax election or accounting method that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

19.4 Tax refunds

Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or the Acquired Companies, and any amounts credited against Taxes to which Buyer or the Acquired Companies become entitled in a Tax period ending after the Closing Date, that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods or portions thereof shall be for the account of Seller. Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within five (5) days after actual receipt of such refund or application of such credit against Taxes, to the extent not taken into account for purposes of the Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

19.5 Tax contests

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 19, if, in connection with any examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of any non-Seller’s Group Tax Return or RTI Tax Return with respect to the income or operations of the Acquired Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, any governmental body issues to the Acquired Companies a notice of an examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding, a request for documents or other information, written notice of deficiency, a notice of reassessment, a proposed adjustment, or an assertion of claim or demand concerning the taxable period covered by such tax return, Buyers shall notify Seller of the receipt of such communication from such governmental body within 20 Business Days after

67

receiving such communication. Seller shall have the right to represent its interests and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. Buyers shall have the right to participate in any such Tax proceeding at their own expense. Buyers shall not, and shall not permit the Acquired Companies to, settle or otherwise resolve any issue with respect to any Taxes of the Acquired Companies to the extent that such settlement or other resolution could result in Seller being liable for any amounts pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Seller shall have the right to control any examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of any non-Seller’s Group Tax Return of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent that such examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding could result in or lead to Seller being liable for any amounts pursuant to this Agreement; provided that Buyers, at Buyers’ sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such contest. Seller are not entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, that portion of a Tax proceeding for which Buyers may incur an indemnification obligation or that would result in increased Liability for Buyers for Taxes attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Buyers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. For avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have the sole right to control and settle any examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of any Seller’s Group Tax Return and Buyer shall have no right to participate therein.

19.6 Tax cooperation

Buyers, the Acquired Companies, and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of tax returns pursuant to this Clause 19 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Acquired Companies and Seller agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date for a period of seven (7) years or until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyers or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods (whichever is later in time), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority and (ii) to 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, the Acquired Company or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have no right to inspect or review any Seller’s Group Tax Return.

68

20. Announcements and confidentiality restrictions

20.1 The Parties shall co-operate regarding news releases, information to employees, customers and suppliers and other public information disclosures relating to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

21.4 The Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement, and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous negotiations and understandings between the Parties, whether written or oral.

21.5 A Party’s waiver (Sw. eftergift) of any of its rights or remedies under the Agreement must be in writing and duly executed by it. No single or partial waiver of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right or remedy.
