Section 2.07 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth its calculation of the Closing Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”). The Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with IFRS applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end, subject to the modifications and limitations set forth on Schedule 2.07(a)(i).

(ii) If the Closing Working Capital exceeds $5,257,000 (the “Target Working Capital”) by more than $2,500,000, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital by more than $2,500,000. If the Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital by more than $2,500,000, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount by which the Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital by more than $2,500,000. The Purchase Price as so increased or decreased by the post-closing adjustment set forth in this Section 2.07 (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”) is referred to herein as the “Final Purchase Price.” If the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the Target Working Capital is less than or equal to $2,500,000, whether positive or negative, then the Final Purchase Price shall be deemed to equal the Purchase Price for purposes of this Agreement and no further payment shall be due from any Party to the other under this Section 2.07.

(b) Examination and Review.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Seller shall have sixty (60) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Buyer shall provide Seller and Seller’s Accountants with full access to the relevant books and records of the Business to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information of the Business (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing

Working Capital Statement and any other information as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer.

(ii) Objection. Promptly following completion of its review (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the conclusion of the Review Period), Seller may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections within two (2) Business Days following the conclusion of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of Deloitte LLP or, if Deloitte LLP is unable to serve, Buyer and Seller shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller’s Accountants or Buyer’s Accountants (the “Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The Parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. Seller shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of Buyer (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and Seller’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants

(that being the sum total by which Buyer’s determination and Seller’s determination differ from the determination of the Independent Accountants). Buyer shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants that Seller is not required to pay hereunder.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be. The amount of any Post-Closing Adjustment shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate of three percent (3%) per annum. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.08 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Within thirty (30) Business Days after the final resolution of any adjustments provided pursuant to Section 2.07, Buyer shall provide to Seller an allocation schedule that provides the manner in which the sum of the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and all other items required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Total Tax Consideration”) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets, which allocations shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, any other applicable Tax Law (the “Allocation Schedule”); provided, however, that the Allocation Schedule shall be subject to the review and approval of Seller. Seller shall have the right to withhold their approval to any portion of the Allocation Schedule by written notice to Buyer. If Seller does not object to the Allocation Schedule by written notice to Buyer within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt by Seller of the Allocation Schedule, then the Allocation Schedule shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Allocation Schedule shall be

subject to any adjustment upon and as a result of any adjustment to the Total Tax Consideration. If Seller timely objects to the Allocation Schedule, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of their objection to the Allocation Schedule and shall set forth in such written notice the disputed item or items and the basis for their objection and Buyer and Seller shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute for a period of thirty (30) Business Days thereafter. If, following a good faith attempt to resolve any disputes, Buyer and Seller cannot agree to an Allocation Schedule, Buyer and Seller shall be permitted to determine their own allocation of the Total Tax Consideration for Tax purposes.

(b) Each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates shall, unless otherwise required by a final “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code), (i) prepare and file all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060 of the Code), in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.08 (subject to any adjustment to the Total Tax Consideration), and (ii) take no position in any Tax Return, proceeding, Tax contest or otherwise that is inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.08 (subject to any adjustment to the Total Tax Consideration). In the event that any of the allocations set forth in the Allocation Schedule are disputed in writing by any Tax Authority, the Party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other Party concerning the resolution of such dispute and use commercially reasonable and good faith efforts to contest such dispute in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Buyer and Seller cannot agree to an Allocation Schedule under Section 2.08(a), this Section 2.08(b) shall not be applicable.

(c) Schedule 2.08(c), which shall be provided prior to or at Closing, sets forth the portion of the Total Tax Consideration that will be allocated to the Owned Real Property (the “Schedule 2.08(c) Allocation Schedule”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Schedule 2.08(c) Allocation Schedule and the principles of Section 2.08(b) shall apply to the Schedule 2.08(c) Allocation Schedule.

Section 2.09 Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Assigned Contract or Transferred Permit, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible; provided, that, except to the extent that the condition precedent set forth in Section 7.02(d) relating to the foregoing shall not be satisfied or waived, the Closing shall occur. Following the Closing, the Parties shall have a continuing obligation to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such

consents and, in the event such consents are not obtainable, to cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the economic rights, benefits, liabilities and obligations of use of such Assigned Contract or Transferred Permit; provided, that Buyer shall pay, satisfy and discharge the corresponding liabilities and obligations of the Seller under the nonassignable Assigned Contract or Transferred Permit for the enjoyment of such economic rights and benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain such authorizations, approvals, consents, negative clearances or waivers. Upon obtaining the requisite authorizations, approvals, consents, negative clearances or waivers, Seller shall promptly convey, transfer, assign and deliver, or cause to be conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered, such Assigned Contract, Transferred Permit or right to Buyer hereunder. No representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any such consent (including, without limitation, the termination of any Assigned Contract or Transferred Permit as a result thereof) or (ii) any Action commenced or threatened by any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.09 to the contrary, Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 7.02(d) hereof unless and until Buyer either provides written waivers thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Seller is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 10% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to (i) engage in the Seller Restricted Business in the Seller Territories or in the Retained Business; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Seller Restricted Business in the Seller Territories or in the Retained Business in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) directly or indirectly cause, induce or encourage any material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier or licensor of the Retained Business (including any existing or former client or customer, or any Person that becomes a client or customer of, the Retained Business after the Closing), or any other Person who has a material business relationship with the Retained Business, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Buyer is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 10% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.08(a) or Section 6.08(b) to the contrary, (i) Seller and its Affiliates shall not be prevented from continuing to engage or invest or maintain an interest in any Person engaged in manufacturing, marketing, distributing and selling 7 Day Croissants and any reasonable extension or development thereof (collectively, the “Retained Business”), and (ii) Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be prevented from continuing to engage in the Business in the Seller Territory solely in respect of existing customer relationships of the Business identified on Schedule 6.08(c).

employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be prohibited from hiring any person who (A) responds to a general solicitation through a public medium or general or mass mailing by the hiring Party or its Affiliates and not directly or indirectly targeted at such person; (B) contacts the hiring Party or its Affiliates directly on his own sole initiative, without any direct or indirect solicitation or inducement by such Party or its Affiliates; or (C) has been terminated by the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries prior to being solicited for employment by the hiring Party or its Affiliates.

(e) Each Party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.08 would give rise to irreparable harm to the other Party, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the other Party of any such obligations, each Party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(f) Each Party acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.08 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate respective interests of the Parties and constitute a material inducement to each Party to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.08 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.08 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions.

Each Party shall cooperate fully with the other Party and their Affiliates in

promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The Parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

(c) From the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any third-party consents contemplated by the form of Transition Services Agreement, and, to the extent any such consents are required and not procured, will cooperate in making such mutually acceptable revisions to the Transition Services Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the original intent of the Parties with respect to the services contemplated thereunder to the greatest extent possible.

Section 6.10 Books and Records.

(a) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by Seller prior to the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of seven years after the Closing, Buyer shall:

(i) retain the Books and Records (including (i) personnel files, (ii) any documents relating to any Actions and (iii) all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers and other records or other documents relating to Taxes of the Business) relating to periods prior to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practices of Seller; and

If at any time after such seven-year period Buyer intends to dispose of any such books and records, Buyer shall not do so without first offering such books and records to Seller.

In the event Buyer or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer honor the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

(c) Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other Party with access to any books or records pursuant to this Section 6.10 in cases in which such Party reasonably believes the provision of such access to books and records could violate applicable Law, rules or order of any Governmental Authority or the terms of any confidentiality agreement or cause forfeiture of attorney-client privilege.

(c) If in such week the Mistaken Seller Payments for such week are equal to an amount greater than the Mistaken Buyer Payments for such week, then Seller shall pay to Buyer in immediately available funds an amount equal to the difference between the Mistaken Seller Payments and the Mistaken Buyer Payments. If in such week the Mistaken Buyer Payments for such week are equal an amount greater than the Mistaken Seller Payments for such week, then Buyer shall pay to Seller in immediately available funds an amount equal to the different between the Mistaken Buyer Payments and the Mistaken Seller Payments.

Buyer agrees to then make the Excluded Equipment available for pickup by Seller at the Yadkinville Facility and to allow Seller reasonable access to the Excluded Equipment (for the above purpose) during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice.

Section 6.18 Periodic Taxes. In the case of any Tax period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (each a “Straddle Period”), (a) Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay the portion of all Periodic Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the product of the entire amount of such Periodic Taxes for such Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in such Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, which amount shall be an Excluded Liability, and (b) Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay the portion of all Periodic Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Straddle Period in an amount equal to the product of the entire amount of such Periodic

Taxes for such Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in such Straddle Period beginning on the day immediately after the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, which amount shall be an Assumed Liability. The Party that has the primary obligation to do so under applicable Law shall file any Tax Return that is required to be filed in respect of Periodic Taxes described in this Section 6.18, and that Party shall, subject to reimbursement from the other party pursuant to this Section 6.18, pay the Taxes shown on such Tax Return. To the extent any Periodic Taxes paid by Buyer (or any refund of Periodic Taxes received by Buyer) are allocable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (determined in accordance with this Section 6.18), Seller (or in the case of any such refund, Buyer) shall promptly pay to Buyer (or in the case of any such refund, Seller) such amount of Periodic Taxes (or such refund of Periodic Taxes). To the extent any Periodic Taxes paid by Seller (or any refund of Periodic Taxes received by Seller) are allocable to a Post-Closing Tax Period or the portion of a Straddle Period beginning on the day immediately after the Closing Date (determined in accordance with this Section 6.18), Buyer (or in the case of any such refund, Seller) shall promptly pay to Seller (or in the case of any such refund, Buyer) the amount of such Periodic Taxes (or such refund of Periodic Taxes).

In no event shall Buyer or the Business use the Name during such 270 day period after the Closing in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of the Name by Seller during the ninety (90)-day period preceding the Closing. With respect to the Inventory, Buyer may continue to sell such Inventory, notwithstanding that it bears the Name, for a reasonable time after the Closing (not to exceed 270 days). Seller and its Affiliates, as applicable, grant to Buyer the limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, nontransferable, non-sublicensable right to use the Name in the Business, including in packaging for the Products, solely as provided in this Section 6.20 during such 270 day period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer will not be required at any time to remove the Name from schematics, plans, manuals, drawings, machines, machinery and the like of the Business in existence as of the Closing

Date to the extent that such instrumentalities are used in the ordinary internal conduct of the Business and are not generally observed by the public or intended for use as means to effectuate or enhance sales. “Name” means “Chipita” and any variations and derivatives thereof and any other logos or trademarks of Seller not included on Schedule 4.11(a).

Section 6.22 Insurance Matters. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that coverage of the Business, including, without limitation, the tangible or intangible personal property, liabilities, ownership, activities and operations of the Business (the “Covered Assets and Persons”) under all current or previous insurance policies maintained by Seller and its Affiliates, shall with respect to the operation of the Business after the Closing Date cease as of the Closing Date and the Covered Assets and Persons will be removed from such policies as of such date except with respect to claims arising out of occurrences on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.23 Further Assurances.

(a) Following the Closing, each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

In furtherance thereof, Buyer shall not destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of such Retained Books and Records and shall allow Seller reasonable access to the Retained Books and Records (for the above purpose) at the Yadkinville Facility or Tulsa Facility, as the case may be, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice.

Buyer’s obligation pursuant to Section 8.03(c) to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees for Assumed Liabilities and Seller’s obligation pursuant to Section 8.02(d) to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees for Excluded Liabilities shall survive the Closing indefinitely (other than Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees for the Yadkinville Environmental Liabilities which shall survive until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date). All other covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein shall survive the Closing for the period explicitly specified therein or, if no expiration is specified, until the latest date permitted by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching Party to the breaching Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation, warranty or covenant and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

Section 8.02 Indemnification By Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in Article IV of this Agreement as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b) subject to Section 8.04(b) below, any Environmental Claims, or Liabilities under Environmental Laws at the Yadkinville Facility, made or asserted within five (5) years of the Closing Date, to the extent arising out of or relating to facts, circumstances or conditions first existing on or prior to the Closing Date or otherwise to the extent arising out of any actions or omissions of Seller on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Yadkinville Environmental Liabilities”);

(c) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement; or

(d) any Excluded Liability, including any Excluded Liabilities imposed on Buyer or any of the other Buyer Indemnitees as a result of the failure to comply with any so-called “bulk transfer laws” but expressly excluding the Yadkinville Environmental Liabilities.

Section 8.03 Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in Article V of this Agreement, as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

Section 8.04 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 4.01 (Organization and Qualifications of Seller), Section 4.02 (Authority of Seller), Section 4.08 (Title to Purchased Assets), Section 4.09 (Condition and Sufficiency of Assets), Section 4.20 (Environmental Matters), Section 4.23 (Taxes) and Section 4.24 (Brokers) (the “Buyer Basket Exclusions”)), until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Buyer Basket Exclusions) exceeds $625,000 (the “Deductible”) (at which point Seller will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees solely for such indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Deductible); provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than with respect to the Buyer Basket Exclusions) with respect to individual indemnifiable Losses or several related indemnifiable Losses of $25,000 (the “De Minimis”) or less each, and such indemnifiable Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible or the Cap (as defined below). Furthermore, Seller’s obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees for Losses (i) under Section 8.02(a) (other than for Losses arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Buyer Basket Exclusions) shall not exceed an aggregate amount of $7,812,500 (the “Cap”) and (ii) in no event will the aggregate Liability of Seller to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses under Section 8.02(a) or

Section 8.02(b) hereof (including for the avoidance of doubt, Losses arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Buyer Basket Exclusions) exceed an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(b) (i) Buyer shall not (and shall not cause or permit its Subsidiaries to) voluntarily excavate or conduct any digging or permit any other Person to conduct any excavation or digging at the Yadkinville Facility (any such excavation or digging, as the case may be, an “Excavation”), unless: (A) such Excavation is necessary as part of the ordinary course of business of Buyer, including for planned expansion and/or construction for which capital expenditures have been approved prior to such Excavation or required or reasonably necessary repair or replacement of utility lines or other subsurface installations; and (B) written notice is provided to Seller at least five (5) Business Days before the commencement of such Excavation. Any Excavation conducted and for which written notice has been provided, in each case in accordance with this Section 8.04(b), is referred to herein as a “Permitted Excavation”; provided, however, that the failure to comply with the five (5) Business Day prior notice period if not practicable under the circumstances shall not cause the excavation or digging to not be a “Permitted Excavation” if Buyer provides such written notice to Seller as promptly as possible, except to the extent such failure to comply with the five (5) Business Day prior notice period prejudices Seller;

(ii) Buyer shall not (and shall not cause or permit its Subsidiaries to) perform and Buyer shall not permit (and shall not cause or permit its Subsidiaries to permit) any physically invasive tests of soil, groundwater or other environmental media with respect to the Yadkinville Facility (any such test, an “Environmental Test”), unless: (A) such Environmental Test is (1) required by Environmental Laws, (2) required by a Governmental Authority with authority under Environmental Laws, (3) is required by a lender as a condition of any financing, (4) reasonably required to investigate a Release, or (5) is reasonably required to investigate or respond to a third-party claim; and (B) written notice is provided to the Seller at least five (5) Business Days before the commencement of such Environmental Test. Any Environmental Test conducted and for which written notice has been provided, in each case in accordance with this Section 8.04(b), is referred to herein as a “Permitted Environmental Test”; provided, however, that the failure to comply with the with the five (5) Business Day prior notice period if not practicable under the circumstances shall not cause the tests to not be a “Permitted Environmental Test” if Buyer provides such written notice to Seller as promptly as possible, except to the extent such failure to comply with the five (5) Business Day prior notice period prejudices Seller.

(iii) Buyer shall not (and shall not cause or permit its Subsidiaries to) take any affirmative action to directly or indirectly solicit (including causing or encouraging any Person to directly or indirectly solicit) from any Governmental Authority or any Person any request, order, directive or other mandate to conduct an Excavation or an Environmental

Test, except as required by Environmental Law (as determined by Buyer upon the advice of outside counsel); and

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Buyer determines (upon the advice of outside counsel) that an Excavation or an Environmental Test is required to be performed, then Buyer shall promptly so notify Seller in advance of such Excavation or Environmental Test being conducted and Seller will be entitled to obtain from Buyer, at Seller’s expense, split or duplicate samples with respect to such Excavation or Environmental Test.

(c) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.03(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 5.01 (Organization of Buyer), Section 5.02 (Authority of Buyer) and Section 5.04 (Brokers) (the “Seller Basket Exclusions”)), until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Seller Basket Exclusions) exceeds the Deductible (at which point Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnitee solely for such indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Deductible); provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.03(a) other than with respect to the Seller Basket Exclusions with respect to individual indemnifiable Losses or several related indemnifiable Losses of the De Minimis or less each, and such indemnifiable Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible or the Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will the aggregate Liability of Buyer to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Losses under Section 8.03(a) hereof (including for the avoidance of doubt, Losses arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Seller Basket Exclusions) exceed an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(d) Solely for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses incurred arising out of or related to any breach of a representation or warranty (and not for determining whether or not a breach has occurred), the references to “Material Adverse Effect” and other materiality qualifications (or correlative terms) shall be disregarded.

(e) Neither of Buyer or Seller shall have any obligation to indemnify the other from and against any indemnifiable Losses arising out of the breach of any of the representations or warranties made herein unless the Indemnified Party (as defined below) makes a written claim for the breach that gives rise to such indemnifiable Losses within the applicable survival period.

(f) To the extent that a portion of any indemnifiable Loss is included as a Liability in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, then the amount included as a Liability will be subtracted from the total indemnifiable Losses payable. For the avoidance

of doubt, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees for any Loss to the extent such Loss consists of liabilities that were included in the determination of Closing Working Capital.

(g) Each Indemnified Party shall take and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any indemnifiable Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnifiable Losses.

(h) The amount of any indemnifiable Losses payable under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of amounts actually recovered (x) under applicable insurance policies or (y) from any other third party with indemnification or contribution obligations (less, in the case of both clauses (x) and (y), the Indemnified Party’s actual out-of-pocket costs of recovery with respect to such Losses; provided, that actual out-of-pocket costs of recovery shall not include any costs incurred by or allocated to an Indemnified Party for time spent by employees of such Person or any Affiliates of such Person). If an Indemnified Party actually receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies or from any other third party with indemnification or contribution obligations with respect to such Losses subsequent to an indemnification payment by any Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses, then such Indemnified Party shall (unless such amounts were taken into account in calculating such Losses) promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made to the Indemnified Party by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party (less the Indemnified Party’s actual out-of-pocket costs of recovery with respect to such Losses; provided, that actual out-of-pocket costs of recovery shall not include any costs incurred by or allocated to an Indemnified Party for time spent by employees of such Person or any Affiliates of such Person).

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. Failure or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except

and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that such failure has materially and adversely harmed the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.05, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its expense, so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the full extent required hereunder, (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, or (iii) the Third Party Claim for indemnification does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim.

(b) Additional Provisions Relating to Third Party Claims. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.05, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before consenting to the entry of any judgment or entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim if the judgment or settlement does not release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim or the judgment or settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose. The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party, provided, however, that if there exists a conflict of interest (including the availability of one or more legal defenses to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party) that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party (upon and in conformity with advice of counsel) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to retain one counsel (plus one local counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is necessary), reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party and such counsel will contest such Third Party Claims in good faith. The Indemnified Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before admitting any liability with respect to, or entering into any settlement of, any Third

Party Claim unless the Indemnified Party waives its rights to indemnification hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(c) Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such witnesses, records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(d) Direct Claims. The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonably prompt writing notice of its discovery of any matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Article VIII that does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”). Failure or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that such failure has materially and adversely harmed the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Direct Claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that it accepts or disputes such Direct Claim within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice of Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

Section 8.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Total Tax Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.07 Exclusive Remedies. Except with respect to remedies and obligations, including indemnification obligations, that are specifically set forth in Section 6.04, Section 6.07, or Section 6.08, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event the Closing occurs, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of

their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except (a) pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII and (b) with respect to remedies and obligations, including indemnification obligations, that are specifically set forth in Section 6.04, Section 6.07, or Section 6.08. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s fraudulent, or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all Environmental Claims or Liabilities relating (directly or indirectly) to the environmental representations and warranties described in Section 8.02(a) and the Yadkinville Environmental Liabilities described in Section 8.02(b), regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, will be limited pursuant to clause (ii) of the last sentence of Section 8.04(a) and the Buyer Indemnitees will have no other remedy or recourse (including all matters arising under CERCLA) with respect to any of the foregoing other than pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Section 8.07. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Indemnitees may not avoid such limitation on liability by (i) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived or (ii) asserting or threatening any Environmental Claim or Liabilities against any Person that is not a Party hereto (or a successor to a Party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 shall not have been fulfilled by November 30, 2012 unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing, and Buyer has not waived such condition on or before the Closing.

Section 10.04 Headings, etc. The table of contents, headings and captions in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 6.08(f), upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, each Party agrees that a court of competent jurisdiction may enforce such restriction to the maximum extent permitted by law, and each Party hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.

Section 10.06 Entire Agreement.

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that Buyer may assign its right to purchase the Purchased Assets and delegate its obligations to assume the Assumed Liabilities hereunder in whole or in part to any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, further, that at any time after the Closing Seller may merge with and into an Affiliate in which such Affiliate shall succeed to all the obligations of Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Absent the written consent of the other Party, no assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.10 Governing Law; Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise), shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflicts of law principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York).

(b) Arbitration.

(i) Any dispute, controversy, claim, or difference of any kind arising out of or relating to this Agreement (a “Dispute”), with the exception of disputes that are within the limited scope of Section 2.07(b) which shall be resolved pursuant to the terms thereof, shall be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with International Arbitration Rules (including provisions relating to Emergency Measures of Protection) (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Section 10.10.

(ii) The arbitration panel shall consist of three (3) persons appointed in accordance with the Rules as modified by this Article (the “Arbitral Tribunal”). Of the three arbitrators, the claimant shall appoint in the request for Arbitration one (1) arbitrator (in the event the arbitration is brought by several claimants, those claimants shall jointly nominate the arbitrator); the respondent shall appoint in the answer one (1) arbitrator (in the event the arbitration is brought against several respondents, the respondents shall jointly nominate an arbitrator). If a Party fails to timely appoint an arbitrator, or if for any reasons, a Party-appointed arbitrator is unavailable to serve or cannot serve, the appointment shall be made by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association. Following their appointment, the two arbitrators should consult, for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days on the appointment of the third arbitrator, who will act as chairman.

Article XI
SELLER PARENT GUARANTEE

Section 11.01 Seller Parent Guarantee.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, Seller Parent, as a primary obligor and not as surety, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer the complete and prompt payment (and not of collection) and performance of, and compliance by the

Seller of all Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment obligations of Seller set forth in Section 2.07 (Purchase Price Adjustment) and Article VIII (Indemnification) hereof (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(b) Seller Parent guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be satisfied strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The liabilities and obligations of the Seller Parent under or in respect of this Section 11.01 are independent of any liabilities or obligations of Seller under or in respect of this Agreement, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Seller Parent to enforce its obligations under this Section 11.01, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Seller or whether Seller is joined in any such action or actions.

(c) Seller Parent’s obligations under this Section 11.01 shall not be released or discharged by any or all of the following: (i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of Seller under or in respect of this Agreement; (ii) any express amendment or modification of or supplement to this Agreement, or any assignment or transfer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any failure on the part of Seller to perform or comply with this Agreement; (iv) any waiver, consent, change, extension, indulgence or other action or any action or inaction under or in respect of this Agreement; (v) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to Seller Parent or Seller or their respective properties, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; or (vi) any change in the name or ownership of Seller or any other person referred to herein.

(d) Seller Parent hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance of this guarantee, (ii) presentment and demand concerning the liabilities of Seller Parent and (iii) any right to require that any action be brought against Seller or any other person, or to require that Buyer seek enforcement of any performance against Seller or any other person prior to any action against Seller Parent under the terms hereof.

(e) Except as to applicable statutes of limitation, no delay of Buyer in the exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights under this Section 11.01 shall operate as a waiver of such rights, a waiver of any other rights, or a release of Seller Parent from any obligations hereunder.

(f) Seller Parent hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

(i) Seller Parent is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has full corporate power and authority and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on

its business as presently conducted, other than such franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

(ii) Seller Parent has full power and authority to execute this Agreement. Seller Parent has taken all action required by its organizational documents to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles.

(iii) The execution and delivery by Seller Parent of this Agreement do not conflict with, or result in any breach of or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Seller Parent under, any provision of (i) the organizational documents of Seller Parent, (ii) any Contract to which Seller Parent is a party or by which any of its properties or assets is bound or (iii) any Governmental Order or Law applicable to Seller Parent or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Seller Parent’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

(g) This Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally performed. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation and liability of Seller Parent, as a primary obligor and not as surety, under this Section 11.01 is specifically limited to payment (and not of collection) and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations required to be made by Seller under the Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, subject to any and all rights, limitations, qualifications and other defenses, solely to the extent that each of the foregoing are available to Seller under the Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, as the case may be.
