Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Accounting Expert to render its determination within twenty (20) Business Days after receiving the Decision Notices. The amount determined by the Accounting Expert shall be the Final Working Capital Amount, the Final Indebtedness Amount and the Final Capex Amount, as applicable.

(a) If any Person who has the right to be indemnified under Sections 11.1(a) or 11.1(b) (the “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding or the assertion of any claim by a third party (including, but not limited to, any Governmental Authority) or the imposition of any penalty or assessment for which indemnity may be sought under Sections 11.1(a) or 11.1(b) (a “Third Party Claim”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Section 11, the Indemnified Party shall as promptly as practicable provide the party that has agreed to indemnify hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) with notice of such Third Party Claim in writing and in reasonable detail of the Third Party Claim (including the factual basis for the Third Party Claim, and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in or, at its option, assume the defense of such Third Party Claim (without admitting liability to the Indemnified Party or the third party) in either case at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Such defense shall be conducted through counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) selected by the Indemnifying Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to retain separate counsel and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments relating to or arising in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, the Parties will cooperate in the defense thereof (with the Indemnifying Party being responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party in connection with such

cooperation), which cooperation will include the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to so assume the defense of any Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim and, if such Third Party Claim is one for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under this Section 11, such defense of such Third Party Claim shall be at the expense and for the account of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be required to obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into or making any settlement, compromise, discharge, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of any Third Party Claim or any liability in respect thereof; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise, discharge, admission or acknowledgment of the validity of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay all monetary amounts in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party completely from all liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may refuse to agree to any such settlement, compromise, discharge, admission, or acknowledgment, (i) that provides for injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) that, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, would otherwise materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party.

(d) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 11.3(a), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in) the defense of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, discharge, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

11.4 Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 11.3 because no Third Party Claim is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing as promptly as practicable of any Losses which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Subject to the limitations otherwise set forth in this Section 11, the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of

such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.

11.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties; Covenants. Each representation and warranty of Seller contained in Section 5 will survive the Closing and will continue in full force and effect for nine (9) months thereafter. All covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or in any of the Ancillary Documents shall survive the Closing until performed in accordance with their terms.

11.6 Indemnification Thresholds.

(a) No claim for indemnification may be made under Section 11.1(a)(i) (other than with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.3 (Capitalization), Section 5.5 (Shares; Seller Information), Section 5.15 (Taxes) and Section 5.16 (No Finder’s Fee)) or 11.1(a)(iii) for any individual claims or related claims unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses (excluding all individual or related Losses below $50,000.00) of the Indemnified Parties that may be claimed thereunder exceeds $3.5 million, and once such threshold has been reached, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Parties for all Losses on a dollar-for-dollar basis above such threshold. Seller’s liability under Section 11.1(a)(i) and 11.1(a)(iii) (other than with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.3 (Capitalization), Section 5.5 (Shares; Seller Information), Section 5.15 (Taxes) and Section 5.16 (No Finder’s Fee)) shall be limited in the aggregate to an amount equal to $35 million.

(b) No claim for indemnification may be made under Section 11.1(b)(i), 11.1(b)(iii) or 11.1(b)(iv) for any individual claims or related claims unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses (excluding all individual or related Losses below $50,000) of the Indemnified Party that may be claimed respectively thereunder exceeds $3.5 million, and once such threshold has been reached, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party only for all Losses on a dollar-for-dollar basis above such threshold. Buyer’s liability under Section 11.1(b)(i), 11.1(b)(iii) and 11.1(b)(iv) shall be limited in the aggregate to an amount equal to $35 million.

(c) Indemnification claims against the Seller under Section 11.1(a)(ii) arising from a breach by Seller under Section 3.1(b)(ii) shall be satisfied solely out of the Escrow Amount, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

11.7 Treatment of Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 11, shall be treated by Buyer and Seller as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

11.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except for (a) Losses arising or resulting from Excluded Liabilities, (b) claims based on a party’s intentional or fraudulent acts or omissions and (c) any equitable actions for specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to any covenants or obligations to be performed in accordance with this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents, from and after the Closing, (A) the indemnification provided in this Section 11 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any party hereto arising out of, related to, in

connection with or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation any breaches of covenants, representations or warranties, and indemnifiable events under this Section 11, and rights of contribution or other recovery pursuant to any Environmental Law, and (B) each of the parties hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so, any other rights, causes of action, remedies or damages that it may have or assert against the other party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether under statutory or common law, any Environmental Law, or securities, trade regulation or other laws.

11.9 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary if, on the Closing Date, (i) all the conditions to the obligations of Buyer contained in Section 8 have been satisfied or waived by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer has notified Seller of its intention to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and if the Closing does not then occur due to the refusal of Seller to consummate the Closing, then Buyer shall be entitled to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement in a court of competent jurisdiction, it being acknowledged that monetary damages due to Buyer in such case may not be adequately determined at law. The existence of this right shall not preclude any other rights and remedies at law or in equity, including, without limitation, monetary damages, which Buyer may have.

SECTION 12. TERMINATION.

12.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and abandoned on or prior to the Closing Date as follows:

(a) by Buyer if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by Seller and such breach either has not been cured by Seller, or Seller has not diligently commenced commercially reasonable action to cure such breach, within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice from Buyer to Seller of such breach or has not been waived by Buyer and Buyer is not then in material breach of this Agreement;

(b) by Seller if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by Buyer and such breach either has not been cured by Buyer, or Buyer has not diligently commenced commercially reasonable action to cure such breach within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice from Seller to Buyer of such breach or has not been waived by Seller and Seller is not then in material breach of this Agreement;

(c) by Buyer if any other condition in Section 8 has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date (other than any condition capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and if the satisfaction of such a condition by the Outside Date is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Buyer to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), and Buyer has not waived such condition on or before such date and Buyer is not then in material breach of this Agreement;

(d) by Seller if any condition in Section 9 has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date (other than any condition capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and if the satisfaction of such a condition by the Outside Date is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), and Seller has not
