Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in consideration for the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of the Assets, Buyer will, at the Closing (i) pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. Dollars to a bank account designated by Seller, Fifty-Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($59,500,000) (the “Closing Payment”), (ii) deliver to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. Dollars to a bank account designated by the Escrow Agent, Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) (the “Escrow Amount”, and together with the Closing Payment, the “Purchase Price”) to be held by the Escrow Agent in an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and (iii) assume and thereafter pay, perform, satisfy and discharge when due the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Closing Net Assets Statement.

(i) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Net Assets Statement”) setting forth the amount of Assets and the amount of Assumed Liabilities which, in accordance with GAAP, would be set forth on a balance sheet of the Business operating on a stand-alone basis, in each case as of the Effective Time. The amounts set forth on the Closing Net Assets Statement will be determined utilizing the accounting principles, policies, practices and procedures set forth on Schedule 4.1(b)(i) and, with respect to matters not set forth on Schedule 4.1(b)(i), utilizing GAAP applied on a consistent basis with the Balance Sheet. The amount of Assets shown on the Closing Net Assets Statement minus the amount of Assumed Liabilities shown thereon is referred to herein as “Net Assets”. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the amounts set forth on the Closing Net Assets Statement will not reflect any purchase accounting adjustments as a result of the acquisition of the Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Buyer. No amount with respect to Taxes shall be treated as an Assumed Liability for purposes of determining Net Assets. Buyer will retain (at Buyer’s sole expense) Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) to audit the Closing Net Assets Statement and to render their report thereon stating that the Closing Net Assets Statement has been prepared in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.1(b)(i). Such report of D&T will be delivered to Seller together with the Closing Net Assets Statement. The date on which the Closing Net Assets Statement and the report thereon of D&T are delivered to Seller is referred to herein as the “Delivery Date”. Seller will cause its employees and the employees of Seller Subsidiary to provide reasonable assistance to Buyer and its Representatives in the preparation of the Closing Net Assets Statement and to provide reasonable assistance to D&T in connection with their audit of the Closing Net Assets Statement and their issuance of a report thereon,

provided such assistance will not interfere with the normal work duties of such employees. Seller will cause Buyer, Buyer’s Representatives and D&T to be provided with reasonable access at all reasonable times, following reasonable notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of Seller and Seller Subsidiary to the extent necessary for such purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to execute and deliver customary representation letters in favor of D&T in connection with their audit of the Closing Net Assets Statement and their issuance of a report thereon. In addition, Seller will execute and deliver, and will cause Seller Subsidiary to execute and deliver, such customary documentation as D&T may reasonably request to evidence the waiver by Seller and its subsidiaries and Affiliates of any claim against D&T based upon D&T’s report on the Closing Net Assets Statement rendered pursuant to this Section 4.1(b)(i); provided that Seller and Seller Subsidiary shall not be obligated to execute a waiver that is more favorable to D&T than the waiver executed by Buyer.

(ii) The Closing Net Assets Statement will be deemed to be the final, binding and conclusive Closing Net Assets Statement (the “Final Closing Net Assets Statement”) for all purposes on the forty-fifth day after the Delivery Date unless Seller delivers to Buyer written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) on or prior to such date specifying the nature of Seller’s objections to the Closing Net Assets Statement. Buyer will cause its employees to provide reasonable assistance to Seller and its Representatives (including any accounting firm retained by Seller) in the preparation of a Notice of Disagreement, provided such assistance will not interfere with the normal work duties of such employees. Buyer will cause Seller and Seller’s Representatives to be provided with reasonable access at all reasonable times, following reasonable notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of Buyer and its subsidiaries to the extent necessary for such purposes. Buyer will provide that Seller will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to consult with D&T regarding the procedures undertaken by D&T in connection with the preparation of the Closing Net Assets Statement and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that Seller will have reasonable access to all readily available books, records and work papers prepared by D&T. To be assertable in a Notice of Disagreement, an objection by Seller with respect to any individual item on the Closing Net Assets Statement must assert that the Closing Net Assets Statement was not prepared in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1(b)(i) with respect to such item. Seller hereby waives the right to assert any objection to the Closing Net Assets Statement that is not asserted in a Notice of Disagreement delivered to Buyer within 45 days after the Delivery Date. If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered to Buyer within such 45 day period, then the Closing Net Assets Statement (as adjusted, if necessary) will be deemed to be the Final Closing Net Assets Statement for all purposes on the earlier of (x) the date Buyer and Seller resolve in writing all differences they have with respect to the Closing Net Assets Statement or (y) the date the disputed matters are resolved in writing by the Unaffiliated Firm. In the event that disputed matters are resolved by the Unaffiliated Firm (as set forth below in accordance with the terms hereof), the Final Closing Net Assets Statement will consist of the applicable amounts from the Closing Net Assets Statement (or amounts otherwise agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller) as to items that have not been submitted for resolution to the Unaffiliated Firm, and the amounts determined by the Unaffiliated Firm as to items that were submitted for resolution by the Unaffiliated Firm.

(iii) During the 30 day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and Seller will seek in good faith to resolve any differences they may have with respect to matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of such 30 day period, Buyer and Seller have not reached agreement on such matters, Buyer will have an additional 15 days to advise Seller in writing of Buyer’s position with respect to each of Seller’s proposed adjustments that are in dispute (“Buyer’s Letter”). Seller will cause Buyer, Buyer’s Representatives and D&T to be provided with access at all reasonable times to the personnel, properties, books and records of Seller and its subsidiaries and Affiliates (including Seller Subsidiary) to enable Buyer to prepare Buyer’s Letter. Buyer’s Letter shall only contain Buyer’s position with respect to each of Seller’s proposed adjustments that are in dispute. Buyer’s Letter shall not rely upon any information to which Seller in writing specifically requested access in accordance with

Section 4.1(b)(ii) in connection with the preparation of the Notice of Disagreement if and to the extent such access was not provided to Seller by Buyer. Promptly following the delivery to Seller of Buyer’s Letter, Buyer and Seller will jointly engage a single arbitrator, which arbitrator shall not have worked in any capacity on any matter for either Buyer or Seller, from the firm of Ernst & Young LLP (or, if a representative of such firm is unable or unwilling to act in such capacity, a single arbitrator, which arbitrator shall not have worked in any capacity on any matter for either Buyer or Seller, from the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) (the “Unaffiliated Firm”) to resolve the matters which remain in dispute with respect to the Closing Net Assets Statement by arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.1(b). In connection with such engagement, each of Buyer and Seller agrees to execute, if requested by the Unaffiliated Firm, a reasonable joint engagement letter including customary indemnities. Promptly after such engagement of the Unaffiliated Firm, Buyer or Seller will provide the Unaffiliated Firm with a copy of this Agreement, the Closing Net Assets Statement, the Notice of Disagreement and Buyer’s Letter. The Unaffiliated Firm will have the authority to request in writing such additional written submissions from either Buyer or Seller as it deems appropriate, provided that a copy of any such submission will be provided to the other party at the same time as it is provided to the Unaffiliated Firm. Neither party will make (or permit any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to make) any additional submission to the Unaffiliated Firm except pursuant to such a written request by the Unaffiliated Firm. Neither party will communicate (nor permit any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to communicate) with the Unaffiliated Firm without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communication with the Unaffiliated Firm (other than with respect to written submissions in response to the written request of the Unaffiliated Firm). The Unaffiliated Firm will have 45 days to review the documents provided to it pursuant to this Section 4.1(b)(iii). Within such 45 day period, the Unaffiliated Firm will furnish simultaneously to both parties its written determination with respect to each of the adjustments in dispute submitted to it for resolution. The Unaffiliated Firm will resolve the differences regarding the Closing Net Assets Statement based solely on the information provided to the Unaffiliated Firm by Buyer and Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (and not independent review). The Unaffiliated Firm’s authority will be limited to resolving disputes with respect to whether the Closing Net Assets Statement was prepared in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(i) with respect to the individual items on the Closing Net Assets Statement in dispute (it being understood that no adjustment will be made to the Purchase Price with respect to any adjustment made by the Unaffiliated Firm to any financial statements or amounts other than amounts set forth in the Closing Net Assets Statement that are in dispute). In resolving any disputed item, the Unaffiliated Firm may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item asserted by either party or less than the smallest value for such item asserted by either party.

(iv) The decision of the Unaffiliated Firm will be, for all purposes, conclusive, non appealable, final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. Such decision will be subject to specific performance pursuant to Section 15.17, and judgment may also be entered thereon as an arbitration award pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1-16, in any court of competent jurisdiction specified in Section 15.12. The fees of the Unaffiliated Firm will be borne by Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the dollar amount of disputed items lost by a party bears to the total dollar amount in dispute resolved by the Unaffiliated Firm. Each party will bear the fees, costs and expenses of its own accountants and all of its other expenses in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 4.1(b).

(c) Post Closing Adjustment. Upon the Closing Net Assets Statement being deemed the Final Closing Net Assets Statement in accordance with Section 4.1(b), the Purchase Price will be adjusted, up or down, as follows:

(i) if the amount of Net Assets shown on the Final Closing Net Assets Statement (the “Net Asset Amount”) is less than U.S. $18,958,659 (the “Benchmark Amount”), the Purchase Price will be reduced by the amount by which the Net Asset Amount is less than the Benchmark Amount and such amount by which the Purchase Price is reduced will be paid to Buyer first from the Escrow Fund, and

Buyer and Seller hereby agree to give joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent for such disbursement within two (2) business days of such determination. In the event amounts held in the Escrow Fund are insufficient to cover such payment, Seller shall, simultaneously with executing any written instructions to the Escrow Agent as provided above, pay any deficiency to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Buyer; and

(ii) if the Net Asset Amount is greater than the Benchmark Amount, the Purchase Price will be increased by the amount by which the Net Asset Amount is greater than the Benchmark Amount and, within two (2) business days of such determination, such amount by which the Purchase Price is increased will be paid by Buyer to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Seller.

Section 4.2 Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated among the Assets in a manner consistent with Schedule 4.2. Buyer will, not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, prepare and deliver to Seller a proposed schedule for Seller’s review and approval in its reasonable discretion (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Assets, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any Treasury Regulations pursuant thereto (or any comparable provisions of state or local tax law) or any successor provision. Seller will have the right to raise objections to the Allocation Schedule within 30 days after its receipt thereof, in which event Seller and Buyer will mutually agree upon revisions to the Allocation Schedule to resolve such objections. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Laws, Buyer and Seller will, and Buyer and Seller will cause each of their respective subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, in the case of Seller, Seller Subsidiary) to, make all tax returns, reports, forms, declarations, claims and other statements in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule (as revised in accordance with the preceding sentence) and will not make any inconsistent statement or adjustment on any returns or during the course of any IRS or other Tax audit.

Section 5.5 U.K. Matters.

(a) Seller and Buyer agree that the consideration given under this Agreement in respect of the sale of the Business based in the United Kingdom comprising the Assets located in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Business”) is exclusive of any VAT.

(b) Seller and Buyer intend that Article 5 of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995 shall apply as between Seller Subsidiary and the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer to the sale of the UK Business under this Agreement (which U.K. Business the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer is purchasing with a view to carrying on in the United Kingdom as a going concern) and each of Seller and Buyer agrees to procure that their respective relevant United Kingdom Affiliates as soon as possible following signing of this Agreement use commercially reasonable efforts to secure that such sale is treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services under that article.

(c) Buyer warrants that the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer is or will immediately become as a result of the transfer a taxable person for the purposes of VAT and agrees that in the period immediately following Closing (being a minimum period of 30 days) it will use the Assets acquired in carrying on the same kind of business, whether or not as part of its existing business, as Seller Subsidiary prior to Closing.

(d) If, nevertheless, any VAT is payable on the sale of the U.K. Business or any of the Assets located in the United Kingdom under this Agreement, the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer shall in addition to the consideration referred to in Section 5.5(a), pay to Seller Subsidiary to the extent that Seller Subsidiary has issued to such Affiliate an appropriate VAT invoice such VAT (and in addition, but subject to Section 5.5(f) below, any penalties and interest, other than penalties or interest arising solely from the failure of Seller Subsidiary (i) to issue an appropriate VAT invoice promptly following denial of (or clear failure to grant after adequate time has elapsed) relief for transfer as a going concern, (ii) following receipt of sufficient funds in accordance with an appropriate VAT invoice, to account promptly for VAT included in the above mentioned VAT invoice, (iii) to notify promptly the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer of the amount of the relevant interest and/or penalties once HM Customs and Revenue have confirmed the sum(s) due, or (iv) immediately after receipt of sufficient funds as required by Seller Subsidiary, to discharge in full the interest and penalties to HM Revenue and Customs in which case and to that extent Seller Subsidiary shall be responsible for the incremental payments of interest and/or penalties attributable to its failure to issue the relevant VAT invoice promptly and/or demand appropriate funds from the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer and/or account for and/or otherwise discharge promptly VAT, penalties and interest after having been put in funds to do so).

(e) If any amount paid by the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer to Seller Subsidiary in respect of VAT pursuant to this Agreement is subsequently found to have been paid in error, Seller shall procure that Seller Subsidiary shall if Seller Subsidiary has not yet accounted for such VAT to HM Revenue and Customs promptly repay such amount to the relevant United Kingdom incorporated

Affiliate of Buyer, and that if Seller Subsidiary has already so accounted, then Seller shall procure that Seller Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain repayment thereof from HM Revenue and Customs and forthwith on receiving repayment from HM Revenue and Customs shall pay to the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer the amount repaid and Buyer shall procure that the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliates shall reimburse Seller Subsidiary 50% of the reasonable expenses, properly accrued by Seller Subsidiary in using such efforts.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.4 or 5.5, if VAT is paid on, or in connection with, the transfer of the U.K. Business or any of the Assets located in the United Kingdom under this Agreement, then to the extent that such VAT cannot be recovered as input by the relevant United Kingdom Affiliate of Buyer (whether by cash recovery or offset), Seller shall on demand pay to Buyer (i) 50% of such irrecoverable VAT (including VAT paid in error for which repayment is not obtained) upon Buyer providing evidence (reasonably satisfactory to Seller) of the amount of such irrecoverable tax and the fact that it is irrecoverable, (ii) VAT for which Seller Subsidiary is primarily liable to account for but for which the relevant United Kingdom Affiliate of Buyer becomes liable to HM Revenue and Customs as a result of the failure of Seller Subsidiary or an Affiliate of Seller to discharge it, otherwise than as a result of the relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer failing to pay VAT in accordance with Section 5.5(d) and which is irrecoverable for the United Kingdom Affiliate of Buyer, (iii) 50% of any interest and/or penalties payable by the relevant United Kingdom Affiliate of Buyer on the total amount of VAT payable under Section 5.5(d), and (iv) any interest and/or penalties for which the Seller Subsidiary is responsible under 5.5(d) which arises after it fails to issue an appropriate VAT invoice promptly and/or notify Buyer of the relevant amount of penalties and/or interest and/or account for and/or otherwise discharge the liability to VAT and/or interest and/or penalties promptly after having been put in funds to do so.

(g) The relevant United Kingdom incorporated Affiliate of Buyer will be solely responsible for incremental interest and penalties arising as a result of its delay in putting Seller Subsidiary in funds promptly following the issue of an appropriate VAT invoice or notification of penalties and/or interest in accordance with Section 5.5(d).

Acquisition Proposal (for purposes of this clause (2), references to 10% in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to 51%) from a third party and its Board of Directors concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) in the case of clause (C) above, its Board of Directors concludes in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that such Acquisition Proposal would result in a Superior Proposal, (3) its Board of Directors, after consultation with outside counsel, determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable Laws, (4) prior to providing any non-public information to any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal by any such Person, its Board of Directors receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement having provisions that are at least as restrictive to such Person as the comparable provisions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and (5) prior to providing any information to any Person or entering into discussions or negotiations with any Person, it notifies Buyer promptly of such inquiries, proposals or offers received by, any such information requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, and the material terms and conditions of any inquiries, proposals or offers.

(f) 50% of all product warranty claims under Contracts that constitute Assets to the extent solely based on actions, omissions, or occurrences prior to the Effective Time to the extent such claims exceed the amounts reserved for product warranty claims on the Final Closing Net Assets Statement.

Section 13.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, Seller Subsidiary and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Group”) from and against, and pay or reimburse, as the case may be, the Seller Group for, any and all Damages, as incurred, suffered by Seller or any other member of the Seller Group based upon, arising out of or relating to:

(e) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) up to an aggregate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) incurred by Seller or Seller Subsidiary for the purposes of winding down or dissolving Seller Subsidiary; or

(f) until Seller is released from all Liabilities related to the Joint Venture Guaranties, all Liabilities of Seller under the Joint Venture Guaranties.

Section 13.3 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (and who is not an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement) (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which a party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee will notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim reasonably promptly (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days) after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give any such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee therefor, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided that, if such Indemnitee has been advised in writing by its counsel that in the opinion of such counsel there is an actual conflict of interest in the same counsel representing both such parties, such Indemnitees will have the right to employ one (1) separate counsel to represent such Indemnitee and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim, each Indemnitee will have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party; provided that counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense. The Indemnifying Party will be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee if the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense thereof (including the acknowledgment by each Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation as aforesaid). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will promptly supply to the Indemnitee copies of all correspondence and documents relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim and keep the Indemnitee fully informed of all developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, all the Indemnitees will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense thereof (such cooperation to be at the expense, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, of the Indemnifying Party).

(c) No Indemnifying Party will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent; provided that if the Indemnifying Party unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend that unconditionally and irrevocably releases the Indemnitee and its Affiliates (pursuant to a release which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) completely from all Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Damages in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may refuse to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim that (x) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or (y) involves the imposition of any fine, payment or other sanction by any Governmental Entity (for the avoidance of doubt, the word “payment” as used in this clause (y) does not include the payment of any Taxes other than any fine or sanction in respect of Taxes). If the Indemnifying

Party unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee will not (unless required by law) admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim (other than a Third Party Claim by a Governmental Entity) without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(d) Any claim on account of Damages which does not involve a Third Party Claim shall be asserted promptly after discovery (and within thirty (30) days) by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party from whom such indemnification is sought. The failure by any Indemnitee so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnitee under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced, as a result of such failure.

Section 13.4 Certain Rights and Limitations.

(a) As security in part for the performance by Seller of its indemnification obligations under Section 13.1 and its payment obligations under Section 4.1, the Escrow Amount shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent, which amount shall be held and distributed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Until all amounts held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement have been distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement or are subject to good faith claims by Buyer or any other member of the Buyer Group under the Escrow Agreement, all claims in respect of indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 13.1 and payment obligations of Seller under Section 4.1 shall be sought to be collected first from the amounts held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (other than claims pursuant to Section 13.1(b) with respect to Seller’s obligations under Section 8.1(e), in respect of which Buyer shall have the right to seek to collect directly from Seller without first seeking to collect from the amounts held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement). Subject to Section 13.4(d), the Buyer Group will have recourse to Seller in the event amounts held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement are insufficient to cover claims by Buyer or any other member of the Buyer Group pursuant to Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 13.1 or Seller’s payment obligations under Section 4.1.

(b) No loss, Liability, damage or deficiency shall constitute Damages to any party to the extent of (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by such party with respect to such loss, Liability, damage or deficiency (after deducting reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with recovery of such proceeds); (ii) any amount recovered by such party from third parties under Contracts providing for indemnification; and (iii) the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by such party arising from the recognition of the Damages. With respect to any claim for indemnification under this Article XIII, the Indemnitee shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to collect insurance proceeds (it being understood that, except to the extent provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the Indemnitee’s obligations under this sentence shall in no way limit the obligations under this Article XIII of the applicable Indemnifying Party).

(c) No monetary amount shall be payable by Seller or Buyer to any member of the Buyer Group or Seller Group, respectively, with respect to the indemnification of any claims pursuant to Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(f), in the case of indemnification by Seller, or Section 13.2(a), in the case of indemnification by Buyer, until the aggregate amount of Damages actually incurred by the Buyer Group or the Seller Group, as the case may be, with respect to such claims exceeds Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) in the aggregate, in which event Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall be responsible for the full amount of such Damages that exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000).

(d) No monetary amount shall be payable by Seller or Buyer to any member of the Buyer Group or Seller Group, respectively, with respect to the indemnification of any claims pursuant to Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(f), in the case of indemnification by Seller, or Section 13.2(a), in the case of indemnification by Buyer, if and to the extent such payment would exceed any of the limitations set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below:

(i) the aggregate amount of Damages indemnifiable by Seller pursuant to Section 13.1(a) (other than with respect to Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to Intellectual Property contained in Section 6.6, title contained in Section 6.8 and brokers contained in Section 6.21) and Section 13.1(f) and indemnifiable by Buyer pursuant to Section 13.2(a) (other than with respect to Buyer’s representations and warranties with respect to brokers contained in Section 7.5 and financial resources contained in Section 7.6) shall not exceed Fourteen Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($14,300,000);

(ii) the aggregate amount of Damages indemnifiable by Seller pursuant to Section 13.1(a) (other than with respect to Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to title contained in Section 6.8) and Section 13.1(f) and indemnifiable by Buyer pursuant to Section 13.2(a) (other than with respect to Buyer’s representations and warranties with respect to financial resources contained in Section 7.6) shall not exceed Thirty-Five Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($35,750,000); and

(iii) the aggregate amount of Damages indemnifiable by Seller pursuant to Section 13.1(a) and Section 13.1(f) and indemnifiable by Buyer pursuant to Section 13.2(a) shall not exceed Seventy-One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($71,500,000).

(e) None of the limitations in this Section 13.4 with respect to indemnification of any claims pursuant to Section 13.1(a) or 13.2(a) shall apply to the extent the indemnification obligations thereunder are a result of fraud by the Indemnifying Party.

Section 13.5 Termination of Indemnification Obligations. The obligations of each party to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitees (i) pursuant to Sections 13.1(a) and 13.2(a), shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty expires pursuant to Article XII, (ii) pursuant to Sections 13.1(b) and 13.2(b), shall terminate upon the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation (giving effect to any extensions thereof) and (iii) pursuant to Sections 13.1(c), 13.1(d), 13.1(e), 13.1(f), 13.2(c), 13.2(d), 13.2(e) and 13.2(f), shall continue without time limitation and shall not terminate at any time; provided, however, that as to clauses (i) and (ii) above, such obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any individual item as to which the Indemnitee shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, made a bona fide claim by delivering written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 13.6 Incidental or Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any obligation to indemnify either the Buyer Group or the Seller Group, as the case may be, for incidental, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages or lost profits; provided that this Section 13.6 shall not apply to incidental, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages or lost profits that are components of judgment awards against a member of the Buyer Group or the Seller Group, as the case may be, in actions by third parties to the extent any such judgment award is subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.2, respectively.

Section 13.7 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise provided in Section 15.17 or in any Transaction Document, any claim or cause of action (whether such claim sounds in tort, contract or otherwise and including statutory rights and remedies) based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction must be brought by either party in accordance with the provisions and applicable limitations of this Article XIII, which, in the absence of fraud, shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of all parties and their Affiliates, successors and assignees for any such claim or cause of action.

Section 13.8 Waiver. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty pursuant to any Transaction Document, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, agreement or obligation pursuant to any Transaction Document, will not affect any right to

indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations.

Section 13.9 Effect on Final Purchase Price. Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price (and shall be allocated to the Purchase Price of the particular Assets to which it relates) for Tax purposes unless a determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) or similar event under applicable Tax law, rule or regulation with respect to the Indemnitee causes such payment not to constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for United States federal income Tax purposes or foreign Tax purposes, as the case may be.

ARTICLE XIV
RESTRICTIVE COVENANT

Section 14.1 Non-compete. Seller covenants and agrees that, for a period of five years after the Closing Date, none of Seller, Seller Subsidiary or any Affiliate controlled by Seller will, directly or indirectly (on its own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others), in any area of the world, enter into, engage in, provide managerial, supervisory, administrative or consulting services to, represent or have or acquire more than a 2% ownership or beneficial interest in any business or entity engaged, directly or indirectly, in the Business or any derivatives of or improvements to such products or services or any other products or services manufactured, sold or provided by the Business during the five year period ending on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller may provide products and services in the ordinary course of business to entities engaged in the Business as long as such products and services provided are not for use in the Business; provided, further, that Seller may acquire control of any business deriving less than 15% of its revenues from such operations so long as Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to divest such operations as promptly as practicable and in any event Seller shall have divested such operations not later than one year following such acquisition; provided, further, that if Seller enters into a binding written agreement to divest such operations during such one year period and uses commercially reasonable efforts to close such transaction, then the one year period shall be extended until the earlier of the closing of such transaction or the actual or constructive termination of such agreement. In the event that Seller is acquired by an unaffiliated third party in a transaction that results in the holders of the voting securities of Seller outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction owning less than 50% of the voting securities of the acquiring or surviving entity in the transaction or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after consummation of such transaction, such acquiring or surviving entity or parent thereof may engage in any activity otherwise prohibited by this Section 14.1.

ARTICLE XV
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 15.1 Assignment. Neither party to this Agreement will convey, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Buyer may (without obtaining any consent) assign its rights, interests and/or obligations under any Transaction Document, in whole or in part, to any successor to all or any portion of its business or to any Affiliate of Buyer. Any conveyance, assignment or transfer requiring the prior written consent of the other party which is made without such consent will be void ab initio. No assignment of this Agreement will relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder.

Section 15.2 Parties in Interest. This Agreement is binding upon and is for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not made for the benefit of any Person not a party hereto, and no Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns will acquire or have any benefit, right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement, except that members of the Buyer Group and the Seller Group will be entitled to the rights to indemnification provided to the Buyer Group and the Seller Group, respectively, hereunder.

Section 15.3 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written agreement executed by Buyer and Seller.

Section 15.4 Waiver; Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of either Buyer or Seller in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of either Buyer or Seller of any right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the parties may otherwise have at law or in equity.

Section 15.5 Effect of Investigation. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Seller or Seller Subsidiary in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document shall be unaffected by any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer (whether before, on or after the date hereof or before, on or after the Closing Date) or knowledge obtained (or capable of being obtained) as a result thereof or otherwise.

Section 15.6 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including transfer taxes pursuant to Section 5.4), each of Seller and Buyer agrees to pay, without right of reimbursement from the other, all costs and expenses incurred by it (and, in the case of Seller, all costs and expenses incurred by Seller Subsidiary) incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants, financial advisors, experts and consultants employed by the respective parties in connection with the Transaction, whether or not the Transaction is consummated; provided that this Section 15.6 shall not limit any Person’s right to recover any Damages for breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to numbered articles and sections are to articles and sections of this Agreement and all references herein to schedules and exhibits are to schedules and exhibits to this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, all references contained in this Agreement, in any exhibit or schedule referred to therein or in any instrument or document delivered pursuant thereto to dollars or “$” shall mean United States Dollars.

Section 15.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement collectively constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings of the parties of any nature, whether oral or written, relating thereto.

Section 15.11 Severability. If any provision of any Transaction Document or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions thereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.

Section 15.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 15.15, each of Seller and Buyer irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the Court of Chancery in and for the State of Delaware and the Superior Court in and for the State of Delaware and (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for the purposes of any Action arising out of the Transaction, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any provision hereof or thereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity hereof or thereof (and agrees not to commence any Action relating thereto except in such courts). Each of Seller and Buyer further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent by U.S. first class mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 15.7 shall be effective service of process for any Action in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of Seller and Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of the Transaction, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any provision hereof or thereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity hereof or thereof in (i) the Court of Chancery in and for the State of Delaware and the Superior Court in and for the State of Delaware or (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment in any jurisdiction or in any other manner provided in Law or in equity.

Section 15.13 Exhibits and Schedules; Disclosure.

(a) All exhibits and schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Capitalized terms used in any other Transaction Document or in the schedules hereto or thereto but not otherwise defined therein will have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in this Agreement.

(b) Seller will have the right to deliver to Buyer at the Closing a supplement to Schedules 6.6(b), 6.9(b), 6.10(a), 6.11(a) and 6.17(f) provided for in Article VI (the “Closing Date Schedule Supplement”) containing any matters occurring after the date hereof (and permitted pursuant to the terms hereof) which, if occurring prior to the date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described on such schedules. The Closing Date Schedule Supplement for Schedule 6.11(a) will not be considered when determining whether the condition set forth in Section 10.2(a) or any other condition to Closing has been satisfied. The Closing Date Schedule Supplement will, however, for purposes of determining whether any Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.1(a), be deemed to amend such Schedules 6.6(b), 6.9(b), 6.10(a), 6.11(a) and 6.17(f) provided for in Article VI to reflect the matters set forth in the Closing Date Schedule Supplement.

Section 15.14 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such State.

Section 15.15 Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event that any dispute, claim or controversy (collectively, a “Dispute”) arises between Buyer and Seller with respect to or relating to the Transaction, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any provision hereof or thereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity hereof or thereof (except for any Dispute relating to purchase price adjustments covered by Section 4.1), authorized representatives of Buyer and Seller will meet to attempt a good faith resolution of such Dispute within thirty (30) days after any party notifies the others in writing of a Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of such notification, any party may make a written demand to the other commencing formal dispute resolution, which demand will specify the nature of the Dispute. Within thirty (30) days of such written demand, or such other time as Buyer and Seller may agree, the parties to the Dispute will attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by mediation in accordance with the then existing CPR Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes, promulgated by the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution, New York City.

(b) If such mediation is unsuccessful within ninety (90) days after commencement thereof or such other time as Buyer and Seller may agree, such Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration, conducted in accordance with the then existing CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration, before three arbitrators. Such arbitration shall be initiated by written notice by either Buyer or Seller to the other parties and each party to the Dispute shall identify its selected arbitrator within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of such notice by the non-initiating party. The arbitrators selected by Buyer and Seller shall, within fifteen (15) business days of their appointment, select a third neutral arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in the City of New York and shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-16, and judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall have case management authority and shall resolve the Dispute in a final award within one hundred eighty (180) days from the commencement of the arbitration action, subject to any extension of time thereof allowed by the arbitrators upon good cause shown.

Section 15.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will together constitute the same agreement.

Section 15.17 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the party or parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved will have the right of specific performance and injunctive relief giving effect to its or their rights under such Transaction Document, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies will be cumulative. The parties agree that any such breach or threatened breach would cause irreparable injury, that the remedies at law for any such breach or

threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived.

Section 15.18 Performance by Seller Subsidiary. Seller will cause to be performed and hereby guaranties the performance of all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by Seller Subsidiary.

Section 15.19 Interpretation.

(a) The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
