SECTION 5.03. Confidentiality.

(a) The Purchasers and the Purchaser Guarantor acknowledge that the information being provided to them in connection with the Acquisition and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement between OM Group and KMG Chemicals, Inc. dated October 21, 2011 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information relating solely to the Companies and the Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Purchasers and the Purchaser Guarantor acknowledge that their obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure with respect to any and all other information provided to them by the Company Representatives concerning the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Companies and the Subsidiary) shall continue to remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing Date until such time as the information is no longer deemed to be Information, as that term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Sellers hereby acknowledge that, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, they possess certain confidential information that forms a part of the Company Intellectual Property. Sellers agree, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates and representatives, that all such confidential information encompassed by the Company Intellectual Property is confidential and proprietary to the Purchasers as of the Closing, and shall be held in confidence and not disclosed or used by any Seller without the prior written consent of the applicable Purchaser or Purchasers (except, in each case, to attorneys and accountants of Sellers in respect of the transaction contemplated under this Agreement); provided, however, that if any Seller or any of its Affiliates is required by any Governmental Entity to disclose any of such Company Intellectual Property, then, to the extent it is legally permitted to do so, such Seller will provide the applicable Purchaser or Purchasers with prompt written notice of such request or requirement. The applicable Purchaser or Purchasers shall then either seek appropriate protective relief from all or part of such request or requirement or waive compliance with the provisions of this section with respect to all or part of such request or requirement. Such Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order and cooperate (at the applicable Purchaser’s or Purchasers’ expense) with any attempts by the applicable Purchaser or Purchasers to obtain a protective order or similar treatment. Sellers may disclose only that portion of such Company Intellectual Property that its legal counsel advises it is legally required to disclose. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing for a period of five (5) years following the Closing.

(c) Each party hereto acknowledges that the remedy at law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 5.03 may be inadequate and that the other party or parties shall be entitled to seek equitable remedies, including an injunction without posting a bond, in the event of a breach by such party.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Purchasers and the Sellers shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Laws to consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner possible the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the satisfaction of the other parties’ conditions to consummating the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) taking all reasonable actions necessary to obtain (and cooperation with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any third party, including any Governmental Entity (which actions shall include furnishing all information required in connection with approvals of or filings with any other Governmental Entity) required to be obtained or made by the Purchasers, the Sellers, the Companies, the Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) pursuing the execution of each resignation described in Section 1.03(b)(iii) in the Agreed Form; (v) pursuing the written resignations, to take effect as of the Closing, of (A) the auditors of UPC England in the form required by section 519 of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (the “UK Companies Act”) with acknowledgements to the effect that such auditors are of the opinion that there are no circumstances of the nature referred to in section 519(1) and (2) of the UK Companies Act that need to be brought to the attention of the members or creditors of UPC England in connection with their resignation and (B) the auditors of UPC Singapore with acknowledgements to the effect that they have no claims against UPC Singapore, (vi) if requested in writing not later than fifteen (15) calendar days before the Closing Date, procuring through meetings of the boards of directors of UPC England and UPC Singapore, as applicable, the appointment, subject to and effective from and after the Closing, of the persons the Purchasers identify to the Sellers in that written request as (A) auditors of UPC England, (B) auditors of UPC Singapore, (C) auditors of the Subsidiary and (D) as directors and secretary of UPC England and UPC Singapore, (vii) procuring the passage in a general meeting of UPC Singapore of an ordinary resolution accepting the resignation of the auditors of UPC Singapore and, if requested in writing not later than fifteen (15) calendar days before the Closing Date, appointing the persons the Purchasers identify to the Sellers in that written request as auditors of UPC Singapore, (viii) if requested in writing not later than fifteen (15) calendar days before the Closing Date, change the registered office of UPC England to the location the Purchasers provide to the Sellers in that written request, and (ix) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Prior to the Closing, each party shall promptly consult with the other parties to this Agreement with respect to, and shall provide any necessary information with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other parties (or their counsel) copies of), all filings made by such party with any Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such party to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Entity in connection with the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement shall promptly inform the other parties to this Agreement of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any party to this Agreement or any representative of such parties receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party will use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other parties to this Agreement, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

- 37 -

(c) Prior to the Closing, each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts (at its own expense) to obtain, and to cooperate in obtaining, all consents from third parties necessary or appropriate to permit the consummation of the Acquisition; provided, however, that the parties shall not be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any person from whom any such consent may be required (other than nominal filing or application fees). Neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to the Purchasers arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents or waivers that may be required in connection with the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the termination of any Contract as a result thereof; provided, however, that the failure to obtain any consent or waiver shall not affect the liability for the breach of a representation or warranty contained herein.

SECTION 5.05. Expenses; Transfer Taxes.

(a) Whether or not the Closing takes place, and except as set forth in this Section 5.05 and Article VIII and Article IX, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, including all costs and expenses incurred pursuant to Section 1.04 and Section 5.04. The Purchasers shall bear all fees for the filings, notifications, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals, if any, required for the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any Antitrust Laws.

(b) All Transfer Taxes applicable to the transfer of the Subject Shares shall be paid by the Purchasers. The Purchasers and Sellers shall cooperate to file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes, and to cooperate with the other parties in providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions.

SECTION 5.06. Employee Matters

(a) Employees will cease to be covered by any Employee Plan sponsored or maintained by Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Companies and the Subsidiary) on and after the Closing except as may otherwise be provided under the terms of such Employee Plan.

- 38 -

(b) To the extent any U.S. Benefit Plan is subject to the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code or Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA (“COBRA”), that U.S. Benefit Plan and Cyantek will be responsible for providing COBRA coverage to any “qualified beneficiary” with respect to such U.S. Benefit Plan relating to any “qualifying event” occurring on or before the Closing. To the extent that an Employee Plan, subject to COBRA, is not a U.S. Benefit Plan, that Employee Plan will be responsible for providing COBRA coverage to any qualified beneficiary, with respect to an Employee, who incurs a “qualifying event” on or prior to the Closing. The Purchasers and the group health plans of the Purchasers or their Affiliates shall be responsible for providing coverage required by COBRA to any “qualified beneficiary” with respect to an Employee for a “qualifying event” that occurs after the Closing, whether treated by the Purchasers as retroactive to the Closing or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 5.06(b), the terms “qualified beneficiary” and “qualifying event” have the meanings given to them under Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

(c) The Purchasers shall, or shall cause their Affiliates to, take all actions necessary so that, effective as of the Closing Date, the U.S. Business Employees will be eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan sponsored by the Purchasers or one of their Affiliates (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”). The Purchaser 401(k) Plan shall accept “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including loans) in the form of cash and notes (in the case of loans), in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed to such U.S. Business Employees from any tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan sponsored by Sellers or their Affiliates.

(d) To the extent U.S. Business Employees participate in a dependent care or medical expense reimbursement account under an Employee Plan (that is not a U.S. Benefit Plan) subject to Section 125 of the Code (“Sellers’ Flexible Account Plan”) during the calendar year that includes the Closing, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall establish or make available one or more comparable plans (“Purchaser’s Flexible Account Plan”) that will recognize the elections that such U.S. Business Employees had in effect for purposes of the plan year in which the Closing occurs under Purchaser’s Flexible Account Plan. Purchaser’s Flexible Account Plan shall assume the obligations of Sellers’ Flexible Account Plan with respect to U.S. Business Employees as of the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the Closing, (i) if the total amount that U.S. Business Employees have contributed to Sellers’ Flexible Account Plan through the Closing Date for the calendar year that includes the Closing exceeds all amounts that have been paid from Sellers’ Flexible Account Plan through the Closing Date for medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by the U.S. Business Employees in such calendar year, the Sellers shall transfer to Purchaser such excess amount in cash, (ii) if the total amounts that have been paid from Sellers’ Flexible Account Plan through the Closing Date for medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by the U.S. Business Employees in the calendar year that includes the Closing exceeds the amount that U.S. Business Employees have contributed to Sellers’ Flexible Account Plan through the Closing Date for such calendar year, Purchaser shall transfer to the Sellers such excess amount in cash, and (iii) Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser copies of the records of the U.S. Business Employees under the Sellers’ Flexible Account Plan for the calendar year through the Closing Date to the extent reasonably necessary for the Purchaser to fulfill its obligations under this Section 5.06(d). After the Closing Date, Purchaser’s Flexible Account Plan will be responsible for reimbursement of all previously unreimbursed reimbursable medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by U.S. Business Employees with respect to the calendar year that includes the Closing.

- 39 -

(e) Upon request, Sellers shall promptly provide to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall promptly provide to Sellers, such documents, data and information as may reasonably be necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.06 and to administer their respective benefit plans.

(f) No provision of this Section 5.06 shall (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Companies or the Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates, the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates or any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (ii) constitute or create or be deemed to constitute or create an employment agreement, or (iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Companies or the Subsidiary, Sellers or any of their other Affiliates, or the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates.

SECTION 5.07. Publicity. From the date hereof through the Closing Date, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

SECTION 5.08. Names Following Closing.

(a) Promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing, the Purchasers shall make all necessary filings to (i) amend or terminate any certificate of assumed name or d/b/a filings so as to eliminate their or their Affiliates’ right to use the Names, or any name that, in the reasonable judgment of the Sellers, is similar to the Names, and the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall not thereafter use the Names or other names confusingly similar thereto, except as provided in this Section 5.08 and (ii) amend the organizational documents of the Companies and the Subsidiary to change the names thereof to a name not including or similar to any of the Names. “Names” means “OM Group” and “OMG” names and any variations and derivatives thereof and any trademarks, logos or similar color combinations of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates.

(b) After the Closing, the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall have the right to (i) sell existing inventory and (ii) use existing packaging, labeling, containers, stationery, business forms, supplies, advertising and promotional materials and any similar materials bearing the Names for ninety (90) days following the Closing; provided, however, that neither the Purchasers nor any of their Affiliates shall take any action that could reasonably be expected to impair the value of the Names; provided further, however, that when using the items listed in clause (ii) above in the context of entering into or conducting contractual relationships, the Purchasers shall make clear to all other applicable parties that the Purchasers, rather than the Sellers or their Affiliates, is the party entering into or conducting the contractual relationship; provided further, however, that personnel of the Purchasers or their Affiliates using the above items shall not, and shall have no authority to, hold themselves out as officers, employees or agents of the Sellers or any Affiliate of any the Sellers.

- 40 -

SECTION 5.09. No Further Financial Obligations. The Purchasers acknowledge that in the course of conduct by the Companies and the Subsidiary of their respective businesses, Sellers, and their respective Affiliates, and direct and indirect subsidiaries of any of them (collectively, but excluding the Companies and the Subsidiary, the “OM Group Entities”) entered into various arrangements (i) in which guarantees were issued by the OM Group Entities and (ii) in which the OM Group Entities are the primary obligors on other agreements, in any such case to support or facilitate business transactions or programs of the Companies and the Subsidiary. The arrangements referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantees” and are listed on Section 5.09 of the Seller Disclosure Letter. It is understood that the Guarantees shall not continue after the Closing. The Purchasers agree that they shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain replacement Guarantees that will be in effect at the Closing or, in the case of Guarantees described in the foregoing clause (ii), will either terminate the business transactions or programs of the Companies and the Subsidiary supported or facilitated by such Guarantees or arrange for themselves or one of their subsidiaries to be substituted as the primary obligor thereon as of the Closing Date. In the event that the Purchasers are unable to satisfy the terms of the immediately preceding sentence, the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the OM Group Entities from and against any and all losses and liabilities of the OM Group Entities relating to the Guarantees.

SECTION 5.10. Noncompetition. For a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date, OM Group agrees and covenants not to, and to cause its subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, engage in, or own directly or indirectly any financial interests in, any person engaged in, any commercial activity that directly competes with the Business anywhere in the world; provided, however, that with respect to the commercial activity of the Electronic Chemicals Business, this Section 5.10 shall only apply insofar as the Business includes design, research, development, testing, fabrication, production, marketing, sales and related commercial activities in connection with (A) copper through-silicon via (TSV) processes and (B) copper dual-damascene processes, in each case as conducted by the Companies and the Subsidiary as of the date hereof, and further provided, however, that OM Group and its subsidiaries may (1) purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) five percent (5%) of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (2) purchase or otherwise acquire a person, or a group of assets constituting a business, engaged in diversified activities that obtains less than twenty-five (25%) percent of its overall annual revenue (based on such person’s or business’s latest audited financial statements or other such public information if available) attributable to businesses that compete with the Business. This Section 5.10 shall cease to be applicable to any person at such time as it is no longer a subsidiary of OM Group and shall not apply to any person that purchases assets, operations or a business from OM Group or one of its subsidiaries, if such person is not a subsidiary of OM Group after such transaction is consummated. This Section 5.10 shall be deemed not to be breached as a result of the consummation of any acquisition or business combination involving OM Group or any of its subsidiaries if, following such transaction, either (i) OM Group’s public shareholders shall not have a majority of the aggregate voting securities of the surviving corporation in such acquisition or (ii) OM Group shall divest itself, within twelve (12) months after successful consummation of such transaction, of the business or assets that violate this Section 5.10. Sellers agree that this restrictive covenant is essential to the other enforceable promises contained in this Agreement.

- 41 -

SECTION 5.11. Nonsolicitation. For a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, no party shall, and no party shall permit its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, for itself or its subsidiaries, solicit for employment or offer to employ any employee or former employee of any other party or such other party’s subsidiaries; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent any party or its subsidiaries from (i) soliciting or offering to employ any employee that leaves the employment of such other party or its subsidiaries without being solicited for employment in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.11, or (ii) initiating discussions with any party or its subsidiaries (as the case may be) concerning possible employment; and provided, further, that the term “solicit for employment” shall not include general solicitations of or searches for employment not specifically directed towards the employees of such other party or its subsidiaries, including through the use of (x) advertisement in any medium (including websites, journals, industry publications, or newspapers or other publications of general circulation), (y) electronic listings, or (z) third party recruiting or search firms, in each case, only if conducted in a manner that does not specifically target any employees of such other party or its subsidiaries.

SECTION 5.12. Other Matters Related to Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Each party agrees that the time, geographical area, and scope of restrained activities for the restrictions contained in Section 5.10 and Section 5.11 are reasonable and necessary to protect the other parties and their goodwill. If a court of competent jurisdiction concludes that any time period, geographical area, or scope of restrained activities specified in Section 5.10 or Section 5.11 is unenforceable, the court is vested with the authority to modify the time period, geographical area, and/or scope of restrained activities, so that the restrictions may be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction finds any provisions of Section 5.10 or Section 5.11 unreasonable in duration or geographic scope or otherwise, the parties agree that the restrictions and prohibitions contained in Section 5.10 and Section 5.11 shall be effective to the fullest extent allowed under applicable Law. Additionally, if a court of competent jurisdiction concludes that any party has violated any of the restrictions contained in Section 5.10, Section 5.11 or this Section 5.12, the restrictive period shall be suspended and will not run in favor of the other parties from the time of the commencement of any violation until the time when such party cures the violation to the other party’s reasonable satisfaction consistent with the court’s order.

(b) The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Section 5.10 upon the courts of any state or foreign jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such states or jurisdictions shall fail to hold such covenants wholly enforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the other party’s right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states or jurisdictions within the geographical scope of such covenants, breaches of such covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction (whether federal, state, or local) being, for this purpose, severable at the sole option of such party into diverse and independent covenants.

SECTION 5.13. Notification. From the date hereof until the Closing, as promptly as reasonably practicable upon discovery thereof, Sellers shall disclose to the Purchasers in writing any development, fact or circumstance that is caused by events occurring after the date hereof causing any material variances from the representations and warranties contained in Article III; and, except for purposes of Section 6.02 and Section 7.01(a)(3), such disclosures shall amend and supplement the Seller Disclosure Letter in the form of an updated Seller Disclosure Letter delivered to the Purchasers. For the avoidance of doubt, developments, facts or circumstances caused by events occurring on or prior to the date hereof shall not amend or supplement the Seller Disclosure Letter or the representations or warranties contained herein.

- 42 -

SECTION 5.14. Permits. The Purchasers shall be responsible for effecting the updates and amendments and reissuances of Permits required in connection with the change in ownership of the Companies and the Subsidiary provided for herein. Sellers will reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers in effecting such updates, amendments and reissuances.

SECTION 5.15. Intercompany Agreements and Accounts; Debt. Except as set forth in Section 5.15 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, as of the Closing, all Contracts to which a Seller or an Affiliate of a Seller (other than the Companies and the Subsidiary), on the one hand, and any of the Companies or the Subsidiary, on the other hand, is a party will be terminated without further liability to any party thereto with respect to periods following the Closing. Sellers will cause all intercompany indebtedness owing from Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies and the Subsidiary) to the Companies and the Subsidiary to be repaid and/or canceled immediately prior to Closing. All indebtedness of the Companies and the Subsidiary owing to Sellers or any of their Affiliates (including but not limited to (i) obligations, liabilities or payments under the Intercompany Corporate Service Agreements or (ii) that certain loan in the amount of $5,000,000 made in January 2011 by OM Group to UPC England for capital investment in PCB China) shall be released, satisfied or defeased at or prior to the Closing.

SECTION 5.16. Insurance Matters.

(a) Sellers shall, and shall cause each of the Companies and the Subsidiary to, keep all third party insurance policies currently maintained with respect to the Business (the “Company Insurance Policies”), or suitable replacements therefor, in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) In the event that prior to the Closing any asset of the Business suffers any damage, destruction or other casualty loss, Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies and the Subsidiary to, surrender to the Purchasers after the Closing Date (i) any insurance proceeds received by Sellers or any of their Affiliates under any Company Insurance Policy with respect to such damage, destruction or loss, less any proceeds applied to the physical restoration of such asset prior to the Closing, and (ii) all rights of Sellers or their Affiliates with respect to any causes of action, whether or not litigation has commenced as of the Closing Date, in connection with such damage, destruction or loss. Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies and the Subsidiary to, make available to the Purchasers the benefits of any Company Insurance Policy covering the assets of the Business with respect to insured events or occurrences prior to the Closing (whether or not claims relating to such events or occurrences are made prior to or after the Closing Date); provided, however, that the benefits of such insurance shall be subject to (and recovery thereon shall be reduced by the amount of) any applicable deductibles and co-payment provisions or any payment or reimbursement obligations of Sellers, the Companies or the Subsidiary in respect thereof.

- 43 -

(c) Sellers will reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers in providing the Purchasers with information regarding insurance maintained for the Companies and the Subsidiary prior to Closing and the loss experiences of the Companies and the Subsidiary, in each case in connection with the Purchasers’ efforts to procure insurance for the Companies and the Subsidiary.

SECTION 5.17. Reporting Assistance.

(v) If the aggregate accruals or reserves for Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods pursuant to Section 8.01(b)) included in the calculation of Final Working Capital exceeds the sum of the portion of all Taxes (including only the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods pursuant to Section 8.01(b)) that are actually paid in connection with such Tax Returns for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and all Straddle Periods (without taking into account any refund or credit for such current Taxes payable and except to the extent resulting from the carry back of a net operating or capital loss, credits or similar items arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period), then Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to such excess to the Sellers within thirty (30) business days after the date on which the last such Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period is filed.

- 55 -

(b) The Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to assert any indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.03 after the expiration of the applicable survival period referenced in Section 9.01; provided, however, that if, on or prior to such expiration of the applicable survival period, a notice of claim shall have been given to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 9.04 for such indemnification, the Seller Indemnitees shall continue to have the right to be indemnified with respect to such indemnification claim until such claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in this Article IX.

(c) Any indemnification of a Seller Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall be effected by wire transfer or transfers of immediately available funds from the Purchasers to an account or accounts designated in writing by the applicable Seller Indemnitee to the Purchasers within fifteen (15) days after the final determination thereof.

SECTION 9.04. Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. In order for a person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) business days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, within five (5) business days’ time after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

- 56 -

(b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Should the indemnifying party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense. The indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above) to the extent the Third Party Claim is indemnifiable hereunder. If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that 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. Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and that releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim, without prejudice, and does not include any admission of wrong doing as attributed to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Third Party Claim for indemnification is based on any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim solely seeks an injunction or similar equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; or (iii)the Indemnified Party reasonably believes at any time that the Covered Losses relating to the Third Party Claim could exceed 200% of the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party could then be entitled to recover under the applicable provisions of this Article IX.

(c) Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying party. Subject to Section 9.01, the failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 9.02 or Section 9.03, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that it has been prejudiced by such failure.

(d) Mitigation. The Purchasers and the Sellers shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability. In the event that the Purchasers or the Sellers shall fail to make such commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any person for any Covered Losses that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Purchasers or the Sellers, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

- 57 -

SECTION 9.05. No Additional Representations.

(a) The Purchasers acknowledge that they have conducted to their satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Companies, and, in making their determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchasers have relied solely on the results of their own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties expressly and specifically set forth in Article II and Article III. The representations and warranties expressly and specifically set forth in Article II and Article III constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Companies and the Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Purchasers understand, acknowledge and agree that all other representations, warranties, and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of the Companies and the Subsidiary, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Companies’ and the Subsidiary’s assets) are specifically disclaimed. The Purchasers further acknowledge that (i) none of the Sellers, the Companies, the Subsidiary or any other person has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Companies, the Subsidiary or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Companies or the Subsidiary furnished or made available to the Purchasers and their representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Seller Disclosure Letter and (ii) the Purchasers have relied on the representations or warranties from the Sellers, the Companies and the Subsidiary expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Seller Disclosure Letter in determining to enter into this Agreement. The Purchasers acknowledge that, should the Closing occur, the Purchasers shall acquire the Subject Shares without any representation or warranty as to merchantability or fitness of the assets of the Companies and the Subsidiary for any particular purpose, in an “as is” condition and on a “where is” basis, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(b) In connection with the investigation by the Purchasers of the Companies and the Subsidiary, the Purchasers have received or may receive from the Companies, the Subsidiary or the Sellers certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. The Purchasers acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that the Purchasers are familiar with such uncertainties, and that the Purchasers are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans).

- 58 -

SECTION 9.06. Determination of Loss Amount.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all payments to each Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX shall be reduced or reimbursed by the amount of (i) any recovery actually received by counterclaim or otherwise from any third party based on any claim that the Indemnified Party has against any third party that reduces the Covered Losses that would otherwise be sustained, and (ii) any proceeds actually received of any claims under any insurance policy received by the Indemnified Party that reduces the Covered Losses that would otherwise be sustained. Nothing in this Section 9.06 is intended to delay payment by the indemnifying party until claims with third parties or insurance companies are resolved.

(b) In no event will the Purchaser Indemnitees be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of punitive damages nor will any “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or other valuation methodology be used in calculating the amount of any Covered Losses; provided, however that the parties acknowledge and agree that for purposes of this Article IX, any damages actually paid to a third party (other than an Affiliate) shall be considered direct damages for which recovery may be sought in accordance with the terms hereof. In addition, in no event will the Purchaser Indemnitees be entitled to recover for any general and administrative time or other overhead expenses not paid to a third party in calculating Covered Losses. Amounts recoverable for attorney, consultant, and other professional fees and disbursements incurred by an indemnifying party in connection with this Article IX must be reasonable and based only on time actually spent, which will be charged at no more than such professional’s standard hourly rate. Purchaser shall have no right to assert any claim pursuant to this Article IX with respect to any Covered Loss, cause of action or other claim to the extent it is a Covered Loss, cause of action or claim with respect to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has requested any third party to accelerate the time period in which such third party asserts or takes action with respect to such Covered Loss, cause of action or claim.

(c) No Purchaser Indemnitee will be entitled to any indemnification under this Article IX to the extent such Covered Loss (i) was reserved for in the Financial Statements and specifically identified in Section 3.04 of the Seller Disclosure Letter as to the amount reserved and described in reasonable detail or (ii) is included in the Final Working Capital Statement.

SECTION 9.07. Adjustments. All payments made pursuant to Article VIII and this Article IX shall be treated by the parties hereto on all applicable Tax Returns as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

SECTION 9.08. Subrogation. After any indemnification payment is made pursuant to this Article IX, the indemnifying party shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights (if any) of the Indemnified Party against any third party in connection with the Covered Losses to which such payment relates. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any Indemnified Party receiving an indemnification payment shall execute, upon the written request of the indemnifying party, any instrument reasonable necessary to evidence such subrogation rights, provided that such request of the indemnifying party does not and will not disrupt the Indemnified Party’s business relationship with such third party.

- 59 -

SECTION 9.09. Environmental Indemnification. Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Covered Losses arising from any conditions of contamination identified through any environmental sampling or testing performed on the Company Real Property after the Closing Date unless such sampling or testing is (i) required by Environmental Laws, a Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over the subject property, or any agreement with a third party in effect as of the Closing; (ii) for the purpose of preventing or mitigating an imminent and substantial threat to human health or the environment to the extent reasonably necessary; or (iii) reasonably necessary to avoid a judicial order, suit or action by a third party, including a Governmental Entity. The Sellers’ obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any Covered Losses arising from conditions of contamination shall be limited to investigatory, corrective or remedial action required by Environmental Laws assuming continued industrial use of the subject property and employing risk-based standards and institutional controls where available, provided such standards and controls do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the subject property for industrial use.
