Nothing set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to affect, amend, modify, supplement or otherwise change the definitions of Assumed Liabilities and Excluded Liabilities. In no event shall any Buyer Indemnifiable Losses or Liabilities arising out of a Transaction Document (the responsibility for which is addressed in that Transaction Document) constitute Excluded Liabilities. In no event shall any Seller Indemnifiable Losses or Liabilities arising out of a Transaction Document (the responsibility for which is addressed in that Transaction Document) constitute Assumed Liabilities.

SECTION 2.5 Assignment of Contracts and Rights.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.4(b), with respect to any Assumed Contract and any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, promptly after the date hereof, to the extent required by the terms of the Assumed Contract, each Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the written consent of the other parties to any such Assumed Contract for the assignment thereof to Buyers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyers.

(b) If (i) such consent is not obtained with respect to any such Assumed Contract and (ii) Buyers elect to waive the conditions in Section 6.2(d) with respect to such Assumed Contract and agree to consummate the Closing, applicable Seller and Buyers shall cooperate in an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Buyers and such Seller under which Buyers would obtain, to the extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits with respect to such Assumed Contract and assume the Assumed Liabilities (but no Excluded Liabilities) associated therewith and corresponding to the claims, rights and benefits obtained by Buyers. In such event, such Seller will promptly pay to Buyers all monies received by such Seller under any Acquired Asset or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder not transferred to Buyers pursuant to this Section 2.5.

SECTION 2.6 Closing.

(a) The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at the offices of Xxxx Xxxxx LLP, 00 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, on the second Business Day after the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied or waived by the party or parties entitled to waive the same or such other date as to which Buyers and Sellers may mutually agree, provided that the closing shall not occur prior to 12:01 a.m. on September 1, 2010. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referenced herein as the “Closing Date”. Other than for purposes of the representations and warranties set forth herein (and with respect to which the Closing shall be deemed effective as of the time the Closing is consummated) the Closing shall be deemed effective as of the close of business (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date.

(b) At the Closing, Buyers shall deliver to the Sellers such customary instruments of assumption as may be reasonably requested by Sellers to evidence the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (the “Assumption Agreements”); provided, however, that no such documents shall expand in any way any of Buyers’ obligations to assume anything other than the Assumed Liabilities.

(c) At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Buyers such bills of sale, certificates of title, endorsements, assignments and other good and sufficient instruments of conveyance and assignment of such rights as may be reasonably requested by Buyers to vest in Buyers all of the Sellers’ respective right, title and interest in, to and under the Acquired Assets (the “Assignment Agreements”), provided, however, that no such documents shall expand in any way the Acquired Assets being assigned to Buyers hereunder.

SECTION 2.7 Purchase Price.

(a) The consideration for the Acquired Assets (the “Purchase Price”) shall be

(i) an amount equal to

(A) Sixty-Six Million Dollars ($66,000,000.00) in cash (the “Closing Cash Payment”),

plus or minus, as applicable,

(B) the Net Working Capital Adjustment, if any (as defined and described below in Section 2.7(b)), and

(ii) the amount of the Assumed Liabilities.

The consideration for the Acquired Assets owned by Air Guard Canada shall be an amount equal to U.S. $4,000,000 of the Purchase Price plus the amount of the Assumed Liabilities being assumed from Air Guard Canada as shown in the Closing Date Statement (the “Air Guard Canada Purchase Price”). The consideration for the assets of Air Guard Control and Waterbury shall be the balance of the Purchase Price.

(b) The Purchase Price shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital Target is greater than the Final Actual Net Working Capital (as defined below). The Purchase Price shall be increased, dollar for dollar, by the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital Target is less than the Final Actual Net Working Capital. The amount by which the Purchase Price shall be reduced or increased in accordance with this Section 2.7(b) is herein referred to as the “Net Working Capital Adjustment”.

(i) Buyers shall wire the Escrow Funds to the escrow account designated by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, to be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement;

(ii) Buyers shall, on behalf of Sellers, remit an amount equal to the amount of the Indebtedness of Sellers specified in the payment letters delivered to Buyers pursuant to Section 6.2(f)(vi) (the “Payoff Payment”) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with such payment letters;

(iii) Buyers shall pay the balance of the Estimated Cash Payment (as defined below) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Sellers by written notice delivered to Buyers at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing; and

For purposes of the Closing and not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Buyers with a good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing (“Sellers’ Net Working Capital Estimate”), and a calculation, as applicable, of the amount by which the Net Working Capital Target is greater than Sellers’ Net Working Capital Estimate or the amount by which the Net Working Capital Target is less than the Sellers’ Net Working Capital Estimate. Buyers shall have three (3) Business Days to propose reasonable adjustments to Sellers’ Net Working Capital Estimate in good faith (the Sellers’ Net Working Capital Estimate, as such amount would be adjusted per Buyers’ proposal, the “Buyers’ Net Working Capital Estimate”).

If Sellers disagree with Buyers’ Net Working Capital Estimate, Sellers and Buyers shall negotiate in good faith to immediately resolve any disputes regarding the estimated amount. The amount, if any, agreed to by Sellers and Buyers shall constitute the Estimated Net Working Capital. If Sellers and Buyers are unable to resolve the disagreement prior to the scheduled Closing the Estimated Net Working Capital shall be the arithmetic average of the Sellers’ Net Working Capital Estimate and the Buyers’ Net Working Capital Estimate.

The “Estimated Cash Payment” shall be an amount equal to the Closing Cash Payment minus the Escrow Funds, minus, if applicable, the amount by which the Net Working

Capital Target is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, plus, if applicable, the amount by which the Net Working Capital Target is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital.

SECTION 2.8 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) On or about the Closing Date (but in no event more than five (5) days before the Closing Date), Buyers and Sellers agree that Sellers’ representatives from McGladrey & Xxxxxx, LLP shall conduct a physical inventory of the Business as of the Closing Date (the “Physical Inventory”), and Buyers and their representatives shall be allowed full, unconditional observation rights of the Physical Inventory. As promptly as practicable after the Physical Inventory (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyers a statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) setting forth a calculation, with reasonable supporting written documentation detail (including, but not limited to, supporting schedules setting forth in reasonable detail all assets and liabilities included therein (including such detail regarding the Inventory) for the determination of Net Working Capital as of the close of business (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date (the “Actual Net Working Capital”). The Closing Date Statement shall be prepared as of the close of business (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date in accordance with Exhibit B, or to the extent not addressed by Exhibit B, GAAP (as in effect as of the Closing Date). Until such time as the calculation of the amounts shown on the Closing Date Statement is final, binding and conclusive on the Parties in accordance with this Section 2.8, Buyers and their accountants shall be permitted to discuss with Sellers and their accountants the proposed Closing Date Statement, and shall be provided copies of, and have reasonable access, at the cost and expense of the Buyers, upon reasonable notice at times during normal business hours to, the work papers and supporting records of Sellers and their Affiliates and their respective accountants so as to allow Buyers and their accountants to become fully informed concerning the preparation of the Closing Date Statement and the accounting procedures, methodologies, tests and approaches being used in connection therewith.

(i) If Buyers have any objections to the Closing Date Statement as prepared by Sellers (including objections to Inventory as determined by the Physical Inventory), Buyers shall, within sixty (60) days after Buyers’ receipt of the Closing Date Statement (the “Notice Period”), give written notice to Sellers, which, to be effective, must set forth the specific line items in Sellers’ calculation of Actual Net Working Capital with which Buyers disagree and Buyers’ calculation of such line items and of Actual Net Working Capital together with supporting schedules setting forth in reasonable detail all assets and liabilities included therein (the “Notice”). If Buyers do not deliver the Notice within the Notice Period, the Sellers’ calculations on the Closing Date Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive on Sellers and Buyers. If Buyers provide a Notice to Sellers within the Notice Period, all calculations, terms, facts, amounts, valuations, and line items expressly set forth on the Closing Date Statement not objected to in the Notice shall be final, binding and conclusive on Sellers and Buyers. If Buyers provide a Notice within the Notice Period, Sellers and Buyers shall negotiate in good faith during the thirty (30) day period after the date of Sellers’ receipt of the Notice (the “Resolution Period”) to resolve any disputes regarding the amounts set forth in the Notice, which shall include each side exchanging in writing their positions concerning the matter or matters in dispute and a meeting to discuss their respective positions. Any

resolution by Sellers and Buyers as to any matters in dispute shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto.

(ii) If Sellers and Buyers are unable to resolve all such disputes through good faith negotiations within the Resolution Period, then Sellers and Buyers shall submit, within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Resolution Period, all unresolved disputes to an independent nationally recognized account firm mutually acceptable to Sellers and Buyers (the “Neutral Accountant”), who Buyers and Sellers shall use their good faith efforts to engage as promptly as possible to provide a final, binding and conclusive resolution of all unresolved disputes. Within ten (10) days after the Neutral Accountant is appointed, Buyers and Sellers shall each submit their respective calculations of the unresolved disputed items in the Notice together with work papers, calculations and other materials that such party has determined supports such party’s calculation. The Neutral Accountant’s role shall be limited to resolving such disputed items in the Notice that have not been resolved by Buyers and Sellers. In resolving such objections, the Neutral Accountant shall calculate such unresolved disputed items in the Notice in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement including Exhibit B, provided that if any such calculation or item is not included on Exhibit B then it shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP and the decision of the Neutral Accountant shall be solely based on (x) whether such item objected to was calculated in accordance with Exhibit B or GAAP, as applicable or (y) whether the item objected to contains a mathematical or clerical error. The Neutral Accountant shall promptly provide written notice of its resolution of such objections to Buyers and Sellers and the resulting adjustments shall be deemed finally determined for purposes of Section 2.8. The Neutral Accountant shall be instructed to use reasonable efforts to perform its services within thirty (30) days of submission of the Closing Date Statement and objection(s) to it and, in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission. If the Neutral Accountant selected as described above is unable or unwilling to act when called upon pursuant to this Section 2.8, then the Parties shall jointly appoint a substitute to act in substitution for the original designee, (or if no substitute is so appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Neutral Accountant notifies Buyers and Sellers of its inability or unwillingness to act, then such dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator having financial accounting experience and having experience with working capital disputes and calculations similar to the provisions in this Agreement, sitting in Chicago, Illinois appointed by the American Arbitration Association upon application by the Parties to be made within five (5) days thereafter), and, upon acceptance of such appointment, such substitute, or arbitrator so appointed, shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed the Neutral Accountant, as applicable, and the time periods prescribed above in this Section 2.8(a)(ii) shall run from the date of such substitute’s or arbitrator’s acceptance of appointment hereunder. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne by the Parties in proportion to the amounts by which their proposals differed from the Neutral Accountant’s final determination. In connection with the resolution of any dispute, each of Sellers and Buyers shall pay its own fees and expenses, including without limitation, legal, accounting and consultant fees and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any disputes regarding amounts shown in the Closing Date Statement shall be resolved as set forth in this Section 2.8(a). The Actual Net Working Capital, as finally determined

pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) shall be referred to herein as the “Final Actual Net Working Capital.”

(b) Any differences between the Final Actual Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital shall be paid as follows (any such adjustment, the “Final Net Working Capital Adjustment”):

(i) If the Final Actual Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then Buyers shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to the difference between the Final Actual Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital.

(ii) If the Final Actual Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then Sellers shall pay to Buyers an amount equal to the difference between the Final Actual Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital.

(c) Any payment required pursuant to Section 2.8(b) above (any “True-Up Payment”) shall include interest at the Prime Rate from the Closing Date through the date of payment. Interest on any True-Up Payment shall be calculated monthly on a compounding basis assuming thirty (30) day months and three hundred sixty (360) day years. Undisputed True-Up Payments shall be made within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Notice (or, if no Notice is delivered within the Notice Period with respect to the amounts governing such True-Up Payment, then five (5) Business Days after the last day of the Notice Period). Disputed True-Up Payments shall be made within five (5) Business Days after resolution during the Resolution Period or resolution by the Neutral Accountant, as applicable. All True-Up Payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the recipient party.

SECTION 2.9 Purchase Price Allocations.

(a) The parties hereto shall allocate the purchase price for the Acquired Assets purchased by US Buyer and IP Buyer, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “U.S. Price Allocation”).

(b) The parties hereto shall allocate the Air Guard Canada Purchase Price in accordance with the fair market value of each such Acquired Asset sold by Air Guard Canada pursuant to this Agreement (“Canadian Price Allocation”).

(c) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing, the Buyers shall provide Sellers with statements (“Price Allocation Statement”) containing Buyers’ proposed U.S. Price Allocation (“Price Allocation”). If Sellers do not notify the Buyers that Sellers object to Buyers’ proposed Price Allocation within twenty (20) days after delivery thereof, Buyers’ proposed Price Allocation shall be deemed the Final Price Allocation. If within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Price Allocation Statement, Sellers notify Buyers that Sellers object to Buyers’ proposed Price Allocation contained in the Price Allocation Statement, Buyers and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days of Buyers’ notification and the Price Allocation agreed to by Buyers and Sellers shall be deemed the Final Price

Allocation. Each of Buyers and Waterbury shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns, including, without limitation, IRS Form 8594 (and all supplements thereto) reflecting the Final Price Allocation for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and to make any timely filing required by applicable state or local laws. None of the Buyers and Sellers shall take any position inconsistent with the Final Price Allocation in the preparation of financial statements, the filing of any Tax Returns or in the course of any audit by any Taxing Authority, Tax review or Tax proceeding relating to any Tax Returns. In the event that Buyers and Sellers are unable to agree to a Final Purchase Price Allocation, there shall be no Final Purchase Price Allocation and the prior two sentences shall not apply.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Transfer Taxes (as defined in Section 9.1) are payable in respect of the Acquired Assets being sold by Air Guard Canada, Air Guard Canada and Canadian Buyer shall, no later than seven (7) days prior to the date when such Transfer Taxes are required to be remitted or self-assessed, mutually agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price payable in respect of such Acquired Assets, including an allocation of such amount to the Acquired Assets located in each Canadian province, to be used for calculating the amount(s) of Transfer Taxes to be remitted or self-assessed to the relevant Taxing Authority.

(e) Prior to Closing, Air Guard Canada and Canadian Buyer shall agree on the Canadian Price Allocation, provided that if within ten (10) days prior to the expected Closing Date, Air Guard Canada and Canadian Buyer do not so agree, they shall jointly hire a third party valuation firm to determine, prior to Closing, the Canadian Price Allocation (as agreed to or determined pursuant to this Section 2.9(e) the “Final Canadian Price Allocation”). The parties shall allocate the Air Guard Canada Purchase Price in accordance with the Final Canadian Price Allocation. The parties shall not take any position inconsistent with such allocation in the preparation of financial statements, the filing of any Tax Returns or in the course of any audit by any Governmental Entity, Tax review or Tax proceeding relating to any Tax Returns.

SECTION 2.10 Adjustments.

(a) Following Closing, Sellers shall pay to Buyers the cost of any and all returns received and refunds paid pursuant to Section 5.17 to the extent, but only to the extent, the costs of such returns and refunds exceed the reserves for such returns and refunds and included in the Final Actual Net Working Capital. The costs of such returns shall be determined based on the value of such inventory on and as of the Closing Date and the cost of such refunds shall equal the actual amount paid to such customer with respect to such refunds.

(b) Following Closing, Sellers shall pay to Buyers an amount equal to the pro rata portion of any and all marketing allowances, sales volume refunds and similar sales allowances and payments in excess of the aggregate of the accruals for such items included in the Final Actual Net Working Capital. The pro rata portion of such amounts shall be determined based on the ratio of the pre-closing sales used to determine the amount of such allowances, refunds and payments to the total sales used to determine the amount of such allowances, refunds and payments.

(c) Any amounts due and payable hereunder shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of demand for the same by Buyers to Sellers. In making any such demand, Buyers shall provide Sellers with such calculations and information necessary to support such payments and Sellers shall have, upon reasonable notice at times during normal business hours, access to such books and records of Buyers necessary to support the determination of the payments required pursuant to this Section 2.10.

(d) Any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall for all purposes be considered an adjustment of the Purchase Price.

Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Hired Employees or their covered dependents on or after the Closing Date shall not, except to the extent provided in Section 5.6(d) or required under the applicable Employee Plan or Applicable Law, be the responsibility of any Seller (or of any Employee Plan maintained by any Seller), but shall be the responsibility of Buyers to the extent such claims are covered under any Employee Plan maintained by Buyers in which the Hired Employee is then participating. For purposes of this Section 5.6(c), a claim is deemed incurred when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of long-term disability benefits, when the disability occurs; and, in the case of a hospital stay, when the individual first enters the hospital. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller shall be solely responsible for any obligations of such Seller to provide retiree life insurance, retiree medical, and retiree dental benefits to employees of the Business who are entitled to such benefits prior to the Closing and who were covered under retiree welfare programs of such Seller as of the Closing, and to their covered dependents.

Upon termination of Waterbury’s group health plan, US Buyer shall be responsible for any legally mandated continuation of health care coverage for “M&A qualified beneficiaries”, in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 54.980B-9, Q&A 8(c). For purposes hereof, each of “M&A qualified beneficiary,” “group health plan” and “qualifying event” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 4980B of the Code.

(e) No Third-Party Beneficiary. Except as specifically provided, no provision of this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any person or organization, including without limitation employees or former employees (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of a Seller, unions or other representatives of such employees or former

employees, or trustees, administrators, participants, or beneficiaries of any Employee Plan of Seller, and no provision of this Agreement shall create such third-party beneficiary rights in any such person or organization in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Employee Plan of a Seller, including the currently existing Employee Plans of Sellers.

The applicable Seller(s) shall furnish to the applicable Buyer(s), and the applicable Buyer(s) shall furnish to the applicable Seller(s), such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other(s) may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act or any other antitrust Applicable Laws. The applicable Seller(s) shall promptly inform the applicable Buyer(s), and the applicable Buyer(s) shall promptly inform the applicable Seller(s), as to any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, any Governmental Entity in connection with the foregoing, and subject to Applicable Law, shall provide the other parties with a copy of any written communication to the foregoing, and each party hereto shall comply as promptly as possible with any such inquiry or request. No party shall participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning antitrust matters related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other parties hereto in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other parties hereto the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion. Buyers and Sellers hereby covenant and agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to secure early termination or expedited review of any waiting periods under the HSR Act, to obtain the approval of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Buyers nor Sellers shall be required to file suit, defend or take any other legal action in order to obtain any necessary approvals. No party hereto shall extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with the FTC or the DOJ not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, which consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld or delayed. All filing fees required in connection with the filing of any notifications and related materials that are required under the HSR Act shall be borne by Buyers (the “HSR Filing Fees”).

SECTION 5.9 Noncompetition Provisions.

(a) (i) Each Seller and Watco hereby agrees that, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is five (5) years following the Closing Date (the “Seller Non-Competition Period”), it will not, and will not cause, permit or assist any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Direct Affiliates to, either directly or indirectly (including by way of sale or distribution of products to other Persons who re-sell or distribute such products on such Seller’s or any of its Direct Affiliates behalf), do any of the following without the prior written consent of Buyers (it being understood and agreed that Waterbury’s fulfillment of its obligations under the Transition Services Agreements shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.9): other than as a holder of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of any class of any publicly-traded securities of a company that is engaged in a Worldwide Competitive Business, engage, directly or indirectly, as an owner, equity holder, member, lender, partner, co-venturer, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant, service provider or otherwise in any business that competes with the Business in the territories and countries where Sellers currently conduct the Business or through the Business otherwise sell products and services (a “Worldwide Competitive Business”).

(ii) Each Seller and Watco hereby agrees that, during the Seller Non-Competition Period, it will not, and will not cause, permit or assist any of the P&L Companies to, either directly or indirectly (including by way of sale or distribution of products to other Persons who re-sell or distribute such products on such Seller’s or any of the P&L Companies’ behalf), do any of the following without the prior written consent of Buyers: other than as a holder of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of any class of any publicly-traded securities of a company that is engaged in a North American Competitive Business, engage, directly or indirectly, as an owner, equity holder, member, lender, partner, co-venturer, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant, service provider or otherwise in any business that competes with the Business in North America (a “North American Competitive Business”).

For purposes of clarity, unless such customers are doing so at a Seller’s direction, with a Seller’s assistance, or otherwise on a Seller’s behalf, a Seller shall not be deemed to have breached this Section 5.9 in the event that any of its customers take any action such Seller is prohibited to take under this Section 5.9; provided the same is not done with the assistance, encouragement or advice of the Sellers otherwise in violation of this Section 5.9. Moreover, for further purposes of clarity, the fact that Watco and Waterbury Companies Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation have ownership interests in the P&L Companies shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a breach of Section 5.9(a)(i) but nothing in this sentence shall permit Watco or Waterbury from providing advice or assistance otherwise in violation of Section 5.9(a)(i).

(b) Except (i) in Waterbury’s fulfillment of its obligations under the Transition Services Agreements (and in such instance, only on a need-to-know basis), (ii) as contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) as permitted by the IP License Agreement each Seller hereby further agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, it will not, and will not cause or give permission to any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Direct Affiliates, or to any of its Affiliates to whom it has provided any Buyer Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, to divulge, disclose or communicate to any Person not subject to obligations of confidentiality in favor of Buyers at least as stringent as those contained herein any Buyer Confidential Information (as defined below). Each Seller agrees that “Buyer Confidential Information” includes but is not limited to: (A) any financial, business, planning, operations, services, potential services, products, potential products, technical information and/or know-how, formulas, production, purchasing, marketing, sales, personnel, customer, broker, supplier, or other information of Buyers and/or Buyers’ business (including, after Closing, the Business and the Acquired Assets); (B) any papers, data, records, processes, methods, techniques, systems, models, samples, devices, equipment, compilations, invoices, customer lists, or documents of the Business, or of Buyers and/or Buyers’ business; (C) any confidential information or trade secrets of or related to the Business or Buyers and/or Buyers’ business; and (D) any other information, written, oral, or electronic, whether existing now or at some time in the future, whether pertaining to current or future developments, which pertains to the affairs or interests of the Business, the Buyers and/or Buyers’ business, but shall in no event include information which is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by a Seller (or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates). Each Seller shall be permitted to disclose Buyer Confidential Information as may be required by Applicable Law, subject to promptly providing Buyers with prior notice of such required disclosure and an opportunity to request protection from the relevant Governmental Entity within ten (10) Business Days of such notice (or such shorter period required by Applicable Law or order of the relevant Governmental Entity).

(c) Except (i) in fulfilling such Seller’s and its Direct Affiliates’ obligations under the Transition Services Agreements (and in such instance, only on a need-to-know basis), (ii) as contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) as permitted under the terms of the IP License Agreement, each Seller hereby agrees that it will not, and will not cause or give permission to any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Direct Affiliates or any of its other Affiliates to whom it has provided any unpublished Transferred Intellectual Property, either directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, to divulge, disclose, use, or communicate to any Person not in the employment of Buyers any unpublished Transferred Intellectual Property.

(d) The parties hereto agree that the duration and geographic area for which the covenant not to compete and confidentiality covenant set forth in this Section 5.9 are to be effective are reasonable. In the event that any court determines that the time period or the geographic area or both of them, are unreasonable and that either such covenant is to that extent unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that such covenant shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest geographic area that would not render it unenforceable. The parties hereto intend that these covenants shall be deemed to be series of separate covenants one for each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America and each and every political subdivision of each and every country outside of the United States of America where these covenant are intended to be effective. The parties hereto agree that damages are an inadequate remedy for any breach of these covenants and that each Buyer shall be entitled to equitable relief in the form of preliminary or permanent injunctions without bond or other security upon any actual or potential breach of either of these covenants in addition to any other remedy each Buyer may have hereunder.

Reg. § 54.4980B-9 Q&A 8(c) or otherwise) with respect to any past or future employee of Sellers), except the Assumed Liabilities, (iv) any liability or obligation incurred or arising prior to the Closing Date in connection with the conduct or operations of the Business or the use or ownership of the Acquired Assets, except the Assumed Liabilities, (v) any liability obligation or Losses resulting from or arising from any of the items, events, facts or circumstances described on Section 8.2(a)(v) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (vi) any liability, obligation or Losses resulting from lost gross margin as a result of any Buyer’s inability to sell products after the Closing Date because of deficiencies or other problems with respect to any Registration included with the Acquired Assets. For purposes of determining under this Section 8.2(a) (x) whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred and (y) the Losses suffered by Buyer Indemnitees as a result of such breach, the terms “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import shall be disregarded wherever they appear in such representation or warranty of any Seller in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document (other than the Transition Services Agreement) and given no effect. The Losses from and against which the Sellers are obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer Indemnitees against under this Section 8.2(a) are collectively, the “Seller Indemnifiable Losses”.

The Buyers shall (subject to the provisions of this Article 8) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, managers, partners and/or agents (each, a “Seller Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) (each Buyer and/or Buyer Indemnitee individually and the Buyers and/or Buyer Indemnitees collectively, each Seller and/or Seller Indemnitee individually and the Sellers and/or Seller Indemnitees collectively, as the context requires, are each sometimes referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party” or an “Indemnifying Party”), from and against the entirety of any Losses Seller Indemnitees shall suffer, sustain or become subject to (including any Losses Seller Indemnitees shall suffer after the end of the applicable Survival Period with respect to claims made within such period), resulting from (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties of any Buyer made herein or in any Transaction Document (other than the Transition Services Agreement), (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by any Buyer in this Agreement or, subject to any limitations on any Seller’s remedies for Losses set forth therein, in any Transaction Document (other than the Transition Services Agreement), (iii) any Buyer’s failure to perform, discharge or satisfy any Assumed Liability, and (iv) any liability or obligations incurred or arising on or after the Closing Date in connection with the conduct or operations of the Business or the use or ownership of the Acquired Assets (including, without limitation, except as provided in the Transition Services Agreement, the Transferred Asset Transfer) (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnifiable Losses”). For purpose of determining under this Section 8.2(b) (x) whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred and (y) the Losses suffered by Seller Indemnitees as a result of such breach, the terms “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import shall be disregarded wherever they appear in such representation or warranty of any Buyer in this

Agreement or, subject to any limitations on any Seller’s remedies for Losses set forth therein, in any Transaction Document and given no effect. Buyer Indemnifiable Losses and Seller Indemnifiable Losses, as the context requires, are each sometimes referred to herein as “Indemnifiable Losses.”

SECTION 8.3 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) With respect to Seller Indemnifiable Losses the aggregate liability of Sellers (collectively) to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees (collectively) from and against any Seller Indemnifiable Losses shall not exceed an amount equal to $3,300,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cap shall not apply to Seller Indemnifiable Losses arising from (i) breaches of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.10, Section 3.11 or Section 3.17 or any of the Special Representations, (ii) matters indemnified pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii) through (vi), or (iii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation. The liability, if any, of Sellers to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees hereunder shall first be satisfied from the Escrow Funds, and only if and to the extent the aggregate liability of Sellers (collectively) to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees from and against Seller Indemnifiable Losses hereunder exceeds the Escrow Funds Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to seek funding of any Seller Indemnifiable Losses directly from the Sellers. With respect to Buyer Indemnifiable Losses, the aggregate liability of Buyers (collectively) to indemnify Seller Indemnitees (collectively) from and against any Buyer Indemnifiable Losses shall not exceed the Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cap shall not apply to Buyer Indemnifiable Losses arising from (i) breaches of any Buyer Special Representations or any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.4, (ii) matters indemnified pursuant to Sections 8.2(b)(ii) through (iv), or (iii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(b) Sellers will not have any obligation to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees with respect to any Seller Indemnifiable Losses until the aggregate of all such Seller Indemnifiable Losses exceeds an amount equal to $660,000 (the “Basket”) (at which point Sellers will be obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees for (but only for) such Seller Indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Basket); provided, however, that no Seller will have any obligation to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees with respect to individual Seller Indemnifiable Losses of less than Ten Thousand ($10,000) (the “Threshold”) unless more than one Seller Indemnifiable Loss, each less than the Threshold, arises from the same or similar facts or circumstances and such Seller Indemnifiable Losses collectively exceed the Threshold, in which case all such Seller Indemnifiable Losses shall be indemnified by Sellers pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) neither the Basket or Threshold shall apply to Seller Indemnifiable Losses arising from (i) breach of any Special Representations or a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.10, (ii) matters indemnified pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii) through (v), or (iii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation and (B) the amount of the Basket with respect to Buyer Indemnifiable Losses from matters indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(vi) shall be an amount equal to $150,000. Buyers will not have any obligation to indemnify any Seller Indemnitee with respect to any Buyer Indemnifiable Losses until the aggregate of all such Buyer Indemnifiable Losses exceeds the Basket (at which point Buyers will be obligated to indemnify Seller Indemnitees for (but only for) Buyer Indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Basket); provided, however, that Buyers will not have any obligation to indemnify any Seller Indemnitee with respect to individual Buyer Indemnifiable Losses of less

than the Threshold unless more than one Buyer Indemnifiable Loss, each less than the Threshold, arises from the same or similar facts or circumstances and such Buyer Indemnifiable Losses collectively exceed the Threshold, in which case all such Buyer Indemnifiable Losses shall be indemnified by Buyers pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Basket or Threshold shall apply to Buyer Indemnifiable Losses arising from (i) breaches of any Buyer Special Representations or any representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.4, (ii) matters indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(ii) through (iv) or (iii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(c) Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyers from and against any Seller Indemnifiable Losses arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made herein that are subject to the Standard Survival Period unless Buyers make a written claim within the Standard Survival Period for the breach or inaccuracy that gives rise to such Seller Indemnifiable Losses. Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyers from and against any Seller Indemnifiable Losses arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made herein that are subject to the Extended Survival Period or any other longer survival period unless Buyers make a written claim for the breach or inaccuracy that gives rise to such Seller Indemnifiable Losses within the Extended Survival Period or any other longer survival period.

(d) Buyers shall have no obligation to indemnify Sellers from and against any Buyer Indemnifiable Losses arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made herein that are subject to the Standard Survival Period or any other longer survival period unless Sellers made a written claim within the Standard Survival period or any other longer survival period for the breach or inaccuracy that gives rise to such Buyer Indemnifiable Losses.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that if there is a breach of more than one representation or warranty on account of the same facts or circumstances, such breach shall give rise to full single indemnification as provided by this Article 8, but shall not give rise to indemnification more than once on account thereof. For further avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that no Seller shall be liable for any Seller Indemnifiable Losses to the extent, but only to the extent, that the same has been specifically accounted for in the determination of the Actual Final Net Working Capital.

(f) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and otherwise minimize the Indemnifiable Losses to the maximum extent reasonably possible upon and promptly after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Indemnifiable Losses; provided that the costs of such efforts shall be included in the determination of the Losses indemnified hereunder if such efforts successfully mitigate, in whole or in part, such Indemnifiable Losses. An Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s request, cooperate in the defense of any matter subject to indemnification or contribution hereunder. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available from any other Person alleged to be responsible (including, without limitation, from any other Person responsible pursuant to any warranty, representation and/or guarantee) for any Indemnifiable Losses to the same extent that the Indemnified Party would if such

Indemnifiable Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder; provided that the costs of such efforts shall be included in the determination of the Losses indemnified hereunder.

(g) The amount of any Indemnifiable Losses payable under Section 8.2 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of amounts actually recovered from any other third party with indemnification or contribution obligations or from any other Person responsible therefor (including, without limitation, from any other Person responsible therefor pursuant to any warranty, representation and/or guarantee). The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify any potential third party indemnitor or contributor which may be liable for any portion of such losses or claims. If an Indemnified Party receives any amounts from any other third party with indemnification obligations or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Indemnifiable Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by any Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such amounts reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party.

(h) The amount of any Indemnifiable Losses payable by Sellers pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by any Buyer pursuant to the insurance policies maintained by Sellers and pursuant to which Sellers have named Buyers as additional insureds. Each of Buyers and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery for any such insurance proceeds, provided that neither shall be required to incur any cost in pursuing such proceeds. If an Indemnified Party receives any amounts with respect to such insurance policies, for an Indemnifiable Loss subsequent to the indemnification payment by an Indemnifying Party, with respect to such Indemnifiable Loss, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such amounts, reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by such Indemnified Party from such insurance proceeds.

(i) Except with respect to Third-Party Claims no Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party under this Article 8 for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages, lost profits, or opportunity costs, diminution of value or similar items or damages or losses calculated as a multiple of damages or as a multiple of earnings, profits, contribution margin or similar items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of matters indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(vi), an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek damages for lost profits, diminution of value or similar items or damages or losses calculated as a multiple of damages or as a multiple of earnings, profits, contribution margin or similar items for the period of the event giving rise to the indemnification obligation.

(j) After the Closing, this Article 8 will provide the exclusive remedy of all Indemnified Parties for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement, other than for (i) remedies of specific performance, injunction and other equitable relief and (ii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

SECTION 8.4 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If subsequent to the Closing any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any claim, complaint, or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing of the Third Party Claim together with a statement of any available information regarding such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim only to the extent that such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice, such counsel subject to Indemnified Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim and will irrevocably indemnify the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim in its name or, if necessary, in the name of the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms and limitations of this Article 8, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend the Indemnified Party and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the applicable Third Party Claim involves only money damages, does not involve a class action, allegations of criminal activities, or violations of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, does not arise from a qui tam or similar whistle blower claim, and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim in a commercially reasonable and diligent manner. In the event the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim within the time and as prescribed in this Section 8.4(b), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct such defense in good faith and may employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party to represent it or defend it against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of such counsel in a timely manner, but the Indemnified Party shall be prohibited from compromising or settling the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver notice as prescribed in this Section 8.4(b) and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Regardless of which party(ies) hereto defend(s) such claim, the other party(ies) hereto shall have the right, at its(their) expense, to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any Third Party Claim the defense of which it is maintaining and the

Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such Third Party Claim.

(c) So long as the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b) are and remain satisfied, then (i) the Indemnifying Party may conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.4(b), (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement which either (i) imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (ii) does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability with respect thereto, (iii) contains any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party; or (iv) results in any damages, costs, expenses or liabilities from such settlement, compromise or consent being paid by any Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party does not receive full indemnification hereunder.

SECTION 8.5 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Sellers and Buyers shall treat any payments that Buyers and Sellers receive pursuant to this Article 8 as an adjustment to and refund of the Purchase Price for federal Tax purposes, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to Buyers and Sellers causes such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to or refund of the Purchase Price for federal Tax purposes.

SECTION 8.6 GST Gross Up. If any payment made by Sellers or Buyers pursuant to this Article 8 is deemed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to include GST, or is deemed by any applicable provincial or territorial legislation to include a similar value added or multi-staged tax, the amount of such payment shall be increased accordingly.

All other Transfer Taxes shall be borne one hundred percent (100%) by Sellers.

Canadian Buyer shall file the election in the manner and within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyers shall indemnify and hold Air Guard Canada harmless in respect of any GST, penalties, interest and other amounts which may be assessed against Air Guard Canada as a result of the transactions under this Agreement not being eligible for such election or as a result of Canadian Buyer’s failure to file the election within the prescribed time.

In accordance with the requirements of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the regulations thereunder, the administrative practice and policy of the Canada Revenue Agency and any applicable equivalent or corresponding provincial or territorial legislative, regulatory and administrative requirements, where applicable, with respect to each purchase and sale of Acquired Assets, Buyers and the applicable Seller shall make and file, in a timely manner:

(a) A joint election to have section 22 of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and any equivalent or corresponding provision under applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation, apply in respect of the Accounts Receivable of Air Guard Canada included in the Acquired Assets and shall designate therein that portion of the Air Guard Canada Purchase Price allocated to such Accounts Receivable under Section 2.9 as the consideration paid by Canadian Buyer to Air Guard Canada.

(b) If requested by either party, Sellers and Buyer shall file any elections or amended elections in prescribed form (or such other form as such party may reasonably request) and within the prescribed time limits pursuant to proposed section 56.4 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as it reads on the date of this Agreement or any amended or successor provision hereto, and any analogous provision of provincial or territorial Tax legislation.

(c) Canadian Buyer and Air Guard Canada shall prepare and file their respective Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the aforesaid elections, provided such manner is in accordance with Applicable Law.

(d) If a party to this Agreement fails to file its Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the aforesaid elections, provided such manner is in accordance with Applicable Law, it shall indemnify and save harmless the other party or parties in respect of any resulting Taxes and any resulting legal or accounting expenses paid or incurred by the other party or parties.

SECTION 9.4 Pre-Closing Taxes; Elections. Sellers shall be liable for all Taxes of or relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business for any period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date. No new elections with respect to Taxes or any change in current elections with respect to Taxes, affecting the Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities shall be made after the date of this Agreement without Buyer’s consent.

SECTION 9.5 Pre-Closing Withholding and Reporting. Sellers shall be responsible for and will perform all Tax withholding, payment and reporting duties with respect

to any wages and other compensation to any employee of Sellers in connection with the operation or conduct of the Business for any period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Sellers and Buyers agree to utilize, or cause their respective Affiliates to utilize, the standard procedures set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-2 C.B. 320 with respect to wage reporting for the Hired Employees subject to United States Tax.

SECTION 9.6 Cooperation. Each of the Buyers and each of the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, and their and their Affiliates’ respective officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to reasonably cooperate, in connection with the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns, any other returns, reports and forms relating to Taxes, audit examinations and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes, and as necessary or desirable in order to minimize any withholding Taxes imposed on the transactions contemplated by this agreement, including the furnishing or making available to each other of records, information, personnel, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns and any other returns, reports and forms relating to Taxes, the conduct of audit examinations, the resolving of or the defense of any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes.

Each Buyer and each Seller recognizes that the others may need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by it, to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring prior to the Closing Date; therefor, each Buyer and each Seller agrees, (a) to properly retain and maintain such records and (b) to allow each of the other parties hereto and its respective agents, auditors and representatives, at times and dates mutually acceptable to the parties hereto, to inspect, review and make copies of such records as such party or its agents, auditors or representatives may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal business hours and at the expense of the requesting party.

SECTION 10.13 Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Arbitration. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably agrees that, except as expressly provided in Article 2 Article 8 or Section 10.13(b) and except the enforcement (including any equitable relief or specific enforcement) of any of the covenants contained in Article 5 hereof, any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be resolved by binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) Initiation of the Arbitration. The party or parties on one side of the dispute(s) (collectively the “Claimant”) may initiate the Arbitration by sending to the party or parties on the other side of the dispute(s) (collectively, the “Respondent”) written notice identifying the matter(s) in dispute and invoking the procedures of this Section 10.13(a) (the “Demand”). The Demand shall include a brief statement setting forth the nature of the dispute(s), the amount in controversy, if any and if known, and the remedy sought. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Demand, the Respondent shall submit a statement (the “Answer”), that shall set forth the Respondent’s response(s) to the Claimant’s claim(s) and any counterclaims asserted by the Respondent, setting forth the nature and amount of such counterclaim(s) if any and if known, and the remedy sought by the Respondent.

(ii) Selection of the General Arbitrators. Within five (5) Business Days after the due date of the Answer (the “Answering Date”), the parties shall confer and make a bona fide attempt to agree upon three (3) independent arbitrators to whom to submit the matter in dispute for final and binding arbitration (the “General Arbitrators”). The General Arbitrators shall be individuals who are either attorneys or business persons experienced with merger and acquisition transactions of the type set forth in this Agreement. If the parties cannot agree upon three arbitrators, the arbitrators they do agree upon shall select the remaining member or members of the panel. In the event that, on or prior to the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day following the Answering Date, the parties cannot agree upon at least one General Arbitrator, the parties shall submit the Demand and Answer, along with required fees, to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and a three member neutral panel of General Arbitrators who have familiarity and experience with merger and acquisition transactions of the type set forth in this

Agreement shall be selected in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, or any successor thereto, in effect at the time the relevant dispute, controversy, difference or claim is submitted for arbitration pursuant to this Agreement (the “AAA Rules”). However chosen, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to engage the General Arbitrators within thirty (30) days of the Answering Date.

(iii) Rules of Procedure. The Arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA Rules, except as modified in this Section 10.13(a) (collectively, the “Arbitration Rules”).

(iv) Discovery. The parties shall have twenty (20) Business Days following the date the third and last General Arbitrator is engaged (the “Arbitrator Engagement Date”) to serve written document requests and not more than ten (10) interrogatories (including subparts). Responses to written discovery shall be due thirty (30) Business Days after service on the party(ies) from whom such discovery is sought. Discovery shall be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the AAA, or any successor thereto, in effect at the time the relevant dispute, controversy, difference or claim is submitted for arbitration pursuant to this Agreement. The party(ies) on each side of the dispute shall have the right to take up to ten (10) depositions, with each deposition limited to seven hours of testimony. Subject to the availability of the deponent, such depositions shall be completed within three (3) months of the Arbitrator Engagement Date. The General Arbitrators shall determine the scope and order of discovery available to the parties, and for good cause shown by the requesting party(ies), can modify the discovery schedule set forth herein.

(v) The Arbitration Hearing. At a date that is mutually convenient to the General Arbitrators and the parties, but commencing no later than thirty (30) days following the close of discovery, the General Arbitrators shall commence the arbitration hearing (the “Arbitration Hearing”). The Arbitration Hearing shall take place at a location mutually selected by the parties or, absent agreement, chosen by the General Arbitrators. The Arbitration Hearing need not run for consecutive days but must be completed within sixty (60) days following commencement of the Arbitration Hearing. At the Arbitration Hearing, the parties to this Agreement shall follow the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the General Arbitrators are bound to apply such rules of evidence, unless the parties mutually agree to deviate from any rule in writing in advance of the Arbitration Hearing. The General Arbitrators are also bound to follow the substantive laws of Delaware applicable to the issues in the case, without regard to conflict of law principles. Upon a showing of good cause by the requesting party(ies), the General Arbitrators, using their reasonable discretion, shall determine the need to modify the time limits set forth in this clause (v).

(vi) Form of Decision. The General Arbitrators shall render a reasoned award in writing, setting forth their decision, the basis therefor, and the relief to be granted to the party(ies) on each side of the dispute (the “Award”), no later than the thirty (30) days following the last day of the Arbitration Hearing. In no event shall the General Arbitrators award punitive damages to any of the parties involved in the dispute. The General Arbitrators shall be allowed to grant injunctive relief and may, at the General

Arbitrators’ sole discretion, require the posting of a bond. The General Arbitrators’ decision shall be a final and binding determination of the dispute. Judgment upon the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and venue over the party(ies) against whom the execution is sought, or in any jurisdiction in which such party’s (parties’) assets are located.

(vii) Miscellaneous Provisions.

(A) Payment of Arbitration Expenses. The parties shall pay the General Arbitrators’ fees and expenses while the Arbitration is pending in accordance with the AAA Rules subject to clause (C) below.

(B) Submission to Jurisdiction. To the extent any party seeks to challenge or dispute the scope, jurisdiction, conduct or result of the Arbitration, or requires judicial intervention in aid or furtherance of the Arbitration, such party(ies) shall bring such action in the state or federal court located in the state of Delaware. With respect to any such action, the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the state of Delaware; irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action in the state or federal courts located in the state of Delaware; and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally agree not to plead or claim that any such action in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum or to raise any similar defense or objection.

(C) Attorneys Fees and Costs. The prevailing party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to payment of its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel and other professionals). To the extent the General Arbitrators award less than all of the relief requested, the General Arbitrators shall award the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of a party in proportion to the extent such party prevailed in the Arbitration. If a party fails to proceed with the Arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the Award, or fails to comply with the Award, the party(ies) on the other side of the dispute shall be entitled to recover its(their) costs of suit including reasonable attorneys’ fees for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the Award.

(b) Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE SELLERS AND BUYERS HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO OR THERETO IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. EACH OF THE SELLERS AND BUYERS HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER

IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 10.14 Zep Guaranty. Zep does hereby fully, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranty the timely payment when due and owing of the obligations of the Buyers (i) under Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.10 hereof; (ii) under Article 8 hereof and (iii) under the other Transaction Documents, in each case, (a) including all amounts Buyers are obligated to pay hereunder or the Transaction Documents in the event Buyers fail to perform their obligations thereunder or hereunder or are otherwise liable for damages pursuant thereto and (b) to the extent not paid by Buyers at such time (collectively, the “Obligations”); provided that nothing herein shall cause Zep to be a Buyer or to otherwise own any Acquired Asset or assume any Assumed Liability.

(a) The obligations of Zep in this Section 10.14 are primary and not as surety only, and this Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and owing, and not merely of collection. Zep expressly waives any legal obligations, duty or necessity for the Sellers to proceed first against Buyers or to exhaust any remedy it may have against Buyers. The obligations of Zep hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been performed in full, without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected to the extent permitted by applicable law (whether or not Zep shall have any knowledge or notice thereof):

(i) any waiver, consent, change, extension, or indulgence in respect of any Obligation;

(ii) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding with respect to Buyers or Zep;

(iii) any assignment or other transfer of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by the Sellers or Buyers;

(iv) any lien, charge, restriction or encumbrance affecting Buyers;

(v) any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the capital stock or assets of Buyers;

(vi) any payment by Buyers which is received by Buyers’ trustee in bankruptcy; or

(vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than payment in full of the Obligations).

Zep unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notice of any of the matters referred to in this Section 10.14, all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any rights against Zep hereunder, including, without limitation, any demand, proof or notice of nonpayment of any sums payable under this Agreement or any

Transaction Document (including, without limitation, any indemnity payment), any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence and any requirement to mitigate the damages resulting from a breach of or default under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents by Buyers. All of the Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee and all dealings between the Sellers and Buyers shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee.

(b) Zep agrees that the Sellers may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of Zep, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, or renew any of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Buyers for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification or waiver of the terms thereof or of any agreement between Sellers and Buyers or any such other Person, without in any way impairing or affecting the provisions of this Section 10.14.

(c) Zep agrees to pay on demand all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Sellers’ counsel) in any way relating to the enforcement of this Section 10.14 against Zep or the protection of the rights provided hereunder; provided, that (i) Zep shall not be liable for any such fees and expenses of the Sellers if no payment under this Guarantee is or was at such time due and owing and (ii) Zep shall have no liability to pay any such fees and expenses of Sellers if such expenses would not have been required to be paid by Buyers with respect to the enforcement of their obligations, or the rights and remedies of the Sellers, hereunder or under the Transaction Documents.

(d) This Section 10.14 shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon Zep and its successors and assigns until all of the Obligations have been satisfied in full. If any of the present or future Obligations are guaranteed by any Persons in addition to Zep, the death, release or discharge, in whole or in part, or the bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of one or more of them shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of Zep under this Section 10.14.

(e) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Sellers, any right, remedy, power or privilege provided for in this Section 10.14 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Sellers of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege. Each and every right, remedy, power and privilege granted to Sellers under this Section 10.14 or allowed to it by Applicable Law shall be cumulative and not exhaustive of any other, and may be exercised by Sellers from time to time.

(f) ZEP ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SECTION 10.14 IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECTION 10.14. ZEP

CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) THIS WAIVER AND THE CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN HAVE INDUCED THE SELLERS TO ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT.

(g) Zep (i) irrevocably submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court of appropriate jurisdiction that presides in New Castle County, Delaware, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee or any facts and circumstances leading to its execution or performance, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such suit, action or proceeding must be brought, heard and determined exclusively in such courts, (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such courts, (iv) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Section 10.14 in any other court and (v) waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any suit, action or proceeding so brought.

(h) Zep agrees to waive any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof.
