Section 2.02. Purchase Price. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall pay to Seller, as the purchase price for the Shares, an aggregate amount equal to Base Price, plus Closing Cash, plus Closing Working Capital Surplus (if any), minus Company Indebtedness, minus Seller Transaction Expenses, minus Closing Working Capital Deficiency (if any) (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.03, the “Purchase Price”).

Section 2.03. Closing Date Payment; Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Closing Date Payment. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount in cash calculated as follows (the “Closing Date Payment”): (i) Base Price, plus (ii) Estimated Closing Working Capital Surplus (if any), plus (iii) Estimated Closing Cash, minus (iv) Estimated Indebtedness, minus (v) Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, minus (vi) Estimated Closing Working Capital Deficiency (if any). In addition, at the Closing Buyer will pay, on Seller’s behalf, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(i).

- 13 -

(b) Initial Closing Statement. At least three (3) Business Day before the Closing Date, Seller will prepare (or cause to be prepared) and deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Initial Closing Statement”) of the Company setting forth the following estimates by Seller, each as of the Effective Time:

(i) Closing Working Capital (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”), and any Estimated Closing Working Capital Surplus or Estimated Closing Working Capital Deficiency, as the case may be, prepared in accordance with Closing Working Capital Determination Standard;

(ii) Company Indebtedness (“Estimated Indebtedness”);

(iii) Closing Cash (“Estimated Closing Cash”);

(iv) Seller Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses”); and

(v) the resulting Closing Date Payment based on the foregoing estimates, together with reasonable back-up information and documents used for the determination of the estimated amounts.

The Initial Closing Statement will be subject to reasonable review and comment by Buyer; provided, that Seller’s good faith determination thereof shall in all events control. The Initial Closing Statement, when delivered to Buyer, shall be deemed the definitive calculation of the Closing Date Payment.

(i) As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall (A) prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail (x) Buyer’s calculation, in each case as of the Effective Time, of Company Indebtedness, Closing Cash, Seller Transaction Expenses, and Closing Working Capital, and (y) Buyer’s proposed Closing Working Capital Deficiency (if any) or proposed Closing Working Capital Surplus (if any), and (B) deliver to Seller a certificate of Buyer executed on its behalf by its Chief Financial Officer confirming that the Final Closing Statement was properly prepared in good faith and in accordance with the Closing Working Capital Determination Standard. The Final Closing Statement will entirely disregard (i) any and all purchase accounting effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent set forth in the definitions of the terms Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Company Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses), and (ii) any of the plans, transactions or changes which Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Company or its business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or liabilities. Furthermore, unless expressly required by the Closing Working Capital Determination Standard, the Final Closing Statement will not include, directly or indirectly, any additional reserve or accrual that is not reflected on the Balance Sheet and where an accrual, provision or liability was made or included in the Balance Sheet in relation to any matter or series of related matters, no increase in such accrual, provision or liability shall be made unless and solely to the extent that, since the preparation of the Balance Sheet, material new facts or circumstances have arisen which justify such increase. Following the Closing and until the amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement are determined pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(iii), Buyer shall provide Seller and its Representatives timely reasonable access to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) auditors of the Company relating to the preparation of the Final Closing Statement and shall cause the personnel of the Company to cooperate with Seller and Seller’s Representatives in connection with its review of the Final Closing Statement.

- 14 -

(ii) Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Final Closing Statement by notifying Buyer in writing of each disputed item or issue, specifying the amount or range thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within forty-five (45) days of Buyer’s delivery to Seller of the Final Closing Statement (the “Objection Period”). If Seller delivers a notice of disagreement during the Objection Period, Seller and Buyer shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery (or such longer period as they may mutually agree), each use reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to finally determine the amounts set forth on the Final Closing Statement. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach agreement concerning any items on the Final Closing Statement during such thirty

(30) day period, either may thereafter submit the dispute to the Independent Accountant for resolution pursuant to Section 2.03(d).

(iii) The amounts set forth on the Final Closing Statement shall be deemed conclusively determined for purposes of this Agreement upon the earliest to occur of (A) the failure of Seller to notify Buyer of a dispute within the Objection Period, (B) the mutual written resolution of all disputes pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) by Buyer and Seller, and (C) the resolution of all disputes by the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 2.03(d).

(d) Adjustment Dispute Resolution. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach agreement concerning the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii), they shall submit such dispute to the Independent Accountant for resolution pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) and instruct the Independent Accountant to review the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of final determination of the amounts set forth on the Final Closing Statement, provided that the Independent Accountant shall rely solely on the definitions and provisions of this Agreement and the methodologies set forth in the Closing Working Capital Determination Standard. In making such determination and calculations, the Independent Accountant shall consider only those items or amounts on the Final Closing Statement as to which Seller has disagreed in writing. Each of Buyer and Seller shall promptly provide their assertions regarding the disputed amounts concerning the Final Closing Statement in writing to the Independent Accountant and to each other. The Independent Accountant shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to such disagreements as soon as reasonably practicable (which the Parties hereto agree should not be later than thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute) in a written report setting forth the Independent Accountant’s calculation of the disputed amounts (which calculation shall be within the range of dispute in respect of each disputed item between the amounts set forth on the Final Closing Statement and the notice of dispute delivered in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(ii)). The Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall base its determination solely on the written submissions of the Parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation. The report of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding upon Seller and Buyer, and the resulting Final Closing Statement and amounts set forth thereon shall be final and non- appealable. Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall each pay their own fees and expenses. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer and Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of all items in dispute as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to one thousand dollars ($1,000) and the Independent Accountant awards six hundred dollars ($600) in favor of Seller’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by Seller. The procedure set forth in this Section 2.03(d) for resolving disputes with respect to the Final Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes, provided that this provision shall not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce the determination of the Independent Accountant.

(b) Effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, each Continuing Employee will cease to actively participate in any Benefit Plan that is sponsored by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than any Benefit Plan that is sponsored solely by the Company).

Buyer shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to ensure that, under the terms of any Buyer 401(k) Plan, Continuing Employees will be permitted to rollover their vested account balances (including any outstanding loan promissory notes for participant loans) from any Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan intended to be a qualified retirement plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, at a Continuing Employee’s election.

(d) With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to any Company Benefit Plan that are personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) shall assume the liability for such time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such time solely as sick or vacation time.

(e) As of no later than the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish a cafeteria plan that shall provide health and dependent care flexible spending account benefits to Continuing Employees on and after the Closing Date (the “Buyer’s Section 125 Plan”). The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any health and dependent care flexible spending accounts of Continuing Employees (whether positive or negative) (the “Transferred Account Balances”) under Seller’s or its Affiliate’s cafeteria plan (“Seller’s Section 125 Plan”) are transferred as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, from the Seller’s Section 125 Plan to the Buyer’s Section 125 Plan. Through the end of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, Buyer shall honor and continue the elections made by each Continuing Employee under the Seller’s Section 125 Plan in respect of the health and dependent care flexible spending accounts that are in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Such Buyer’s Section 125 Plan shall assume responsibility as of the Closing Date for all outstanding health and dependent care claims under the corresponding Seller’s Section 125 Plan of each Continuing Employee. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the amount of the Transferred Account Balances is determined or such later date as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, Seller shall pay Buyer the net aggregate amount of the Transferred Account Balances, if such amount is positive, and Buyer shall pay Seller the net aggregate amount of the Transferred Account Balances, if such amount is negative.

Provided that on or before the Closing Date, Seller has provided Buyer with a list, by date and location, of employee layoffs implemented by Seller and its subsidiaries (including the Company) with respect to employees of the Company during the ninety (90) day period preceding the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its subsidiaries with respect to any liability under the WARN Act or other similar applicable state, local and foreign Laws arising from the actions (or inactions) of Buyer or its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date.

Section 6.17. Wrong Pockets. If, following the Closing, either Buyer or Seller discovers that it or any of its Affiliates possesses any right or other asset, or is liable for any liability that, in the case of Seller, relates exclusively to the Business or, in the case of Buyer, relates exclusively to the business of Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Company), such Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, transfer or cause to be transferred such right, asset or liability to such other Party or its Affiliate, and such Party or its Affiliate shall accept and assume any such right, asset or liability, as applicable, for no additional consideration other than as previously paid as provided in this Agreement. If, following the Closing, either Buyer or Seller or any of its Affiliates receives any payments due to the other Party or an Affiliate thereof in respect of the rights, assets or liabilities allocated to such other Party or Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Agreement, then the Party in receipt of such payments shall promptly remit (or cause to be promptly remitted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered), such payments to the other Party or Affiliate thereof.

(iii) Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Taxes shown on any Separate Returns and the Tax Returns for any Straddle Period to the extent such Taxes are allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period under Section 7.02, except to the extent such Taxes were taken into account in calculating the adjustments to Purchase Price described in Section 2.03, at the later of five (5) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Returns or upon written demand thereof.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such Tax Return relates solely to the Company, Seller shall not be required to provide any Person with any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax Return of Seller (or any of its Affiliates) or any related workpapers or any information related thereto.

(c) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Transfer Taxes shall be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller when due, regardless of the Person liable for such obligations under applicable Law or the Person making payment to the applicable Governmental Authority or other third party.

- 49 -

(b) In the case of Taxes other than Taxes described in Section 7.02(a) (including those imposed on a period basis), such Taxes shall be deemed equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the day of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

The remainder of the Taxes for the Straddle Period shall be allocated to the Post-Closing Tax Period and shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer.

(b) Seller may, at its own expense, participate in, and upon written notice to Buyer, assume the defense of any Tax Claim relating solely to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date, if Seller has conclusively established in writing their obligation to indemnify the Company, Buyer and their Affiliates with respect to such Tax Claim and all Losses related thereto and at all times conducts the defense of the Tax Claim in good faith and in a reasonably diligent manner.

(c) Seller will have the right to participate jointly with Buyer in representing the interests of the Company in any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period, if and to the extent that such period includes any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense if Seller has conclusively established in writing its obligation to indemnify the Company, Buyer and their Affiliates with respect to such Tax Claim and all Losses related thereto to the extent they relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate in the defense of any Tax Claim in such proceeding.

(d) Seller shall be entitled to control in all respects, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Claim with respect to (i) any Tax Return of Seller or (ii) any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax Return of a consolidated, combined or unitary group that includes Seller.

Section 7.06. Tax Refunds. Any Tax refund, credit or similar benefit (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) (a “Tax Refund”) relating to the Company for Taxes paid for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be the property of Seller except to the extent such Tax Refund was taken into account in calculating the adjustments to Purchase Price described in Section 2.03. Buyer shall pay to Seller within fifteen (15) days after such receipt or entitlement thereto, an amount equal to such refund or credit, together with any interest received or credited thereon.

Buyer shall take, and shall cause the other members of the Buyer Tax Group to take, all reasonable steps to ensure that all available Transaction Tax Deductions are utilized at the earliest possible time. Payment of any Tax Reduction shall be made at the due date for filing the Tax Return (after taking into account extensions) for the taxable year or period in which the Tax Reduction in question occurs or is claimed.

(c) by either Seller or Buyer, if a Governmental Authority shall have issued or enacted any Law or Governmental Order or taken any other action (including the failure to have taken an action), in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Closing, which Law or Governmental Order is final and nonappealable, as applicable;

(d) by Seller, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement by Buyer, such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach; provided that if such breach by Buyer is curable prior to the End Date through the exercise of reasonable efforts, then Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(d) prior to twenty (20) days following written notice from Seller to Buyer of such breach (it being understood that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(d) if (i) such breach by Buyer is cured such that such conditions would then be satisfied, (ii) such breach by Buyer is due primarily to the failure of Seller 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, or (iii) Seller is in breach of this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 would not be satisfied);

- 54 -

(e) by Buyer, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement by the Seller, such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach; provided that if such breach is curable by Seller prior to the End Date through the exercise of reasonable efforts, then Buyer may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(e) prior to twenty (20) days following notice from Buyer to Seller of such breach (it being understood that Buyer may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(e) if (i) such breach by Seller is cured such that such conditions would then be satisfied, (ii) such breach by Seller is due primarily 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, or (iii) Buyer is in breach of this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 would not be satisfied); or

(f) by Seller if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 have been satisfied by Seller or waived in writing by Buyer (other than any conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided that each of such conditions is able to be satisfied at the Closing), (ii) Buyer has failed to consummate the Closing at the time required pursuant to Section 2.04(a), (iii) Seller has notified Buyer in writing that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 have been satisfied or, if permissible under Law, will be waived in writing by Seller, and (B) Seller stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing, and (iv) Buyer fails to consummate the Closing by the expiration of five (5) Business Days following such notification.

For purposes of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Closing pursuant to, and when required by, the terms of this Agreement shall constitute a willful and intentional breach hereunder, which shall give rise to a claim by Seller or Buyer to Losses, which may be calculated based on the loss of the benefit of the bargain to Seller or Buyer of this Agreement and which shall not be limited to reimbursements of expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.04. Certain Limitations.

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

- 57 -

(d) Any Losses for which any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE XI shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant and/or the right to recover under more than one provision of this ARTICLE XI. No Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for any Losses arising from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein (and the amount of any Losses incurred in respect of such breach shall not be included in the calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent that such Losses were for the particular matter were accounted for in calculating the Closing Cash, Company Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital or Seller Transaction Expenses.

Section 11.05. Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this ARTICLE XI is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE XI 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 to this Agreement 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, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third- Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim if (x) the Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (y) the assumption of defense of the Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to cause a Buyer Indemnitee to lose coverage under the RWI Policy, or (z) a Buyer Indemnitee or the insurer is required to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to the RWI Policy. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 11.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 11.05(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. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the limitations in this Agreement) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of- pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

- 58 -

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 11.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 11.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include, if practicable, copies of all material written evidence thereof in the possession of the Indemnified Party, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

- 59 -

(d) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company shall be governed exclusively by ARTICLE VII hereof.

Section 11.06. Payments; RWI Policy.

(a) Subject to Section 11.06(c) and Section 11.06(d), once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE XI, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within thirty (30) days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such thirty (30) day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

(b) The Buyer Indemnitees shall have an obligation to promptly and before resorting to the Seller, except for (i) any Losses for which a Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(a); or (ii) any Losses for which a Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(c), seek to recover or make a claim for insurance proceeds (including under the RWI Policy) as a result of any matter giving rise to an indemnification claim of the Indemnified Parties against the Indemnifying Party, to the extent available therefor.

(c) With respect to any Losses for which a Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(b), the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover such Losses solely as follows: (i) first, from insurance proceeds available under the RWI Policy; and (ii) second, to the extent the coverage limit under the RWI Policy has been reached, directly from Seller in an amount not to exceed the amount of Purchase Price received by Seller.

(d) With respect to any Losses for which a Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(d), the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover such Losses solely as follows: (i) first, from insurance proceeds available under the RWI Policy; and (ii) second, directly from Seller in an amount not to exceed the amount of Purchase Price received by Seller.

(e) With respect to any Losses for which a Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(a), Section 11.02(c) and Section 11.02(e), the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover such Losses directly from Seller in an amount not to exceed the amount of Purchase Price received by Seller.

- 60 -

(f) If Buyer or any of its Affiliates obtains a RWI Policy, Buyer will ensure that such RWI Policy shall at all times provide that, except solely in the case of Fraud, the insurer (or insurers, if applicable) may not seek to or enforce, and to the fullest extent waives, any subrogation rights, rights of contribution or any right of assignment it might have against Seller, its Affiliates, and their respective past, present or future direct or indirect parent, equityholder, member, director, officer, partner or employee (or the functional equivalent of any such position) (the “Seller Parties”), and that such RWI Policy shall not be amended in any manner adverse to any of the foregoing without the prior written consent of Seller. This Section 11.06(f) is intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by the Seller Parties, and the RWI Policy shall at all times provide that the Seller Parties are third party beneficiaries of the waiver and non-amendment provisions of the RWI Policy referred to above. Additionally, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any rights of any issuer of the RWI Policy, including any rights of subrogation, do not affect, expand, or increase any liability or obligation of Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 11.07. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 11.08. Exclusive Remedies. Subject to and except for Section 2.03, Section 6.11, and Section 12.13, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from Fraud 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, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE XI. In furtherance of the foregoing, except with respect to Section 2.03, Section 6.11, and Section 12.13, each Party hereby waives, from and after Closing, 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 pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE XI. Nothing in this Section 11.08 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 12.13 or to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s Fraud.

Upon any determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties hereto will 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.

Section 12.06. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule, Schedules and Exhibits and the other agreements referred to herein (including the Ancillary Documents), is complete, and all promises, representations, understandings, warranties and agreements with reference to the subject matter hereof, and all inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by all the Parties hereto, have been expressed herein or in such Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits or such other agreements and this Agreement, including such Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits and such other agreements, supersedes any prior understandings, negotiations, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or thereof. The Parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the sale and purchase of the Company exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement; and the Parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, the Parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated Parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations; all Parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no Party has any special relationship with another Party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms or provisions hereof are binding upon or enforceable against any Party hereto unless and until the same is executed and delivered by all of the Parties hereto.

Section 12.07. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements and other provisions set forth in this Agreement and made by or on behalf of any of the Parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs and permitted assigns of such Party, whether or not so expressed. None of the Parties may assign, transfer or delegate any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the consent in writing of Seller and Buyer. Any purported assignment or delegation of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 12.07 is void and of no force or effect.

Section 12.08. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 6.10, Section 12.10 and Section 12.11, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 12.09. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party hereto. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No course of dealing and no failure or delay on the part of any Party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Party’s rights, powers and remedies. The failure of any of the Parties to this Agreement to require the performance of a term or obligation under this Agreement or the waiver by any of the Parties to this Agreement of any breach hereunder shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 12.10. Release.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Seller and all current or former officers, directors, employees and managers of Seller or the Company (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) of and from any and all Actions, causes of Action, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, Contracts and covenants (whether express or implied), and claims and demands whatsoever, whether in law, common law, or in equity, and whether based on or alleged to be associated with a claim founded in negligence or strict liability, which the Company may have against each or any of the Seller Released Parties, now or in the future, in each case, arising out of or in connection with any facts or circumstances relating to the Company which existed on or prior to the Closing Date. It is expressly agreed that the Seller Released Parties to whom this Section 12.10(a) applies will be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 12.10(a) and will be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein.

- 66 -

(b) Effective as of the Effective Time, Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Company of and from any and all Actions, causes of Action, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, Contracts and covenants (whether express or implied), and claims and demands whatsoever, whether in law, common law, or in equity, and whether based on or alleged to be associated with a claim founded in negligence or strict liability, which Seller may have against the Company, now or in the future, in each case, arising out of or in connection with any facts or circumstances relating to Seller which existed on or prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 12.10(b) will operate to waive or release any and all Actions, causes of Action, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, Contracts and covenants (whether express or implied), and claims and demands whatsoever, whether in law, common law, or in equity, and whether based on or alleged to be associated with a claim founded in negligence or strict liability (a) that Seller has under this Agreement, any Exhibit or Schedule hereto, or any agreements, certificates or other documents entered into in accordance with, pursuant to, or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Ancillary Documents, (b) relating to Fraud, (c) that Seller now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against the Company on account of or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever to the extent arising at or after the Closing or not directly relating to the Business; or (d) that may be brought pursuant to Section 6.10.

Section 12.11. Provision Respecting Legal Representation. Each of the Parties to this Agreement hereby agrees, including on behalf of its Affiliates, that Hodgson Russ LLP is serving as counsel to Seller and the Company, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement prior to Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, following Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Hodgson Russ LLP (or any successor) may serve as counsel to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (which will no longer include the Company), in connection with any Action, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of the Parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each of such Parties shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. In addition, all pre-Closing communications involving attorney-client confidences with or among Seller and the Company on one hand, and Hodgson Russ LLP on the other hand, that pertain to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (“Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belongs solely to Seller (and not the Company). Accordingly, the Company shall not have access to any Privileged Communications after the Closing shall have occurred. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Privileged Communications do not include communications between the Company, on the one hand, and Hodgson Russ LLP, on the other hand, relating to general business matters of the Company so long as such general business matters were not prepared specifically for, or otherwise relate to, transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) Seller (and not the Company) shall be the sole holder of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Hodgson Russ LLP that constitute Privileged Communications, only Seller (and not the Company) shall hold such property rights thereto, and (c) Hodgson Russ LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications to the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Hodgson Russ LLP and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that after Closing a dispute arises between Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company), on the one hand, and a third party other than Seller or its Affiliates, on the other hand, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) is legally required by Governmental Order or otherwise legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, to the extent (x) permitted by applicable Law, and (y) advisable in the opinion of Buyer’s counsel, then Buyer shall immediately (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) notify Seller in writing so that Seller can seek a protective order. In addition, each of the Parties to this Agreement waives, and agrees to cause the Company to waive, any conflict that may arise in connection with (y) Hodgson Russ LLP’s representing Seller after the Closing and (z) any fact known to Hodgson Russ LLP in connection with any such representation, including any Privileged Communications, which waiver shall apply in all cases, including in connection with any Action in any way related to a dispute with Buyer or the Company following the Closing, and the disclosure of any such fact, as Seller deems appropriate, in connection with any process undertaken for the resolution of such dispute. This Section 12.11 is for the benefit of Seller and Hodgson Russ LLP, and Hodgson Russ LLP is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 12.11. This Section 12.11 will be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 12.11 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller and Hodgson Russ LLP.

Section 12.12. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, MAY ONLY BE INSTITUTED IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN ERIE COUNTY, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 12.12(c).

Section 12.13. Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Parties fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 12.12 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither Seller nor Buyer would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 12.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
