NOTE C — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements”, requires enhanced disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis of Level 3 fair-value measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 was adopted January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective January 1, 2011.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” which amends ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” ASU No. 2009-13 amends the ASC to eliminate the residual method of allocation for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The ASU also establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which includes: (1) vendor-specific objective evidence if available, (2) third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is

PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

not available, and (3) estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. Additionally, ASU No. 2009-13 expands the disclosure requirements related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements, which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2011.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance as codified in ASC 810-10, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). This guidance is intended to improve financial reporting by providing additional guidance to companies involved with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and by requiring additional disclosures about a company’s involvement with variable interest entities. This guidance is generally effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE D — Inventories

The components of inventory consist of the following:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2010		2009
Finished goods	$	118,199	$	100,309

Raw materials and supplies		50,503		55,029
	$	193,021	$	182,116

NOTE E — Shareholders’ Equity

At September 30, 2010, capital stock consists of (i) Serial Preferred Stock, of which 632,470 shares were authorized and none were issued, and (ii) Common Stock, of which 40,000,000 shares were authorized and 13,369,174 shares were issued, of which 11,815,178 were outstanding and 1,553,996 were treasury shares.

NOTE F — Net Income Per Common Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(a) No employee stock options were added for this period as the addition of 358,000 shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 478,000 shares in the three months ended September 30, 2009 would result in anti-dilution because the Company reported a net loss in that period.

Basic earnings per common share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Pursuant to ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” when a loss is reported the denominator of diluted earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of stock options and awards because doing so will result in anti-dilution. Therefore, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, basic weighted-average shares outstanding are used in calculating diluted earnings per share.

Outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average price of the common shares are anti-dilutive and are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. Stock options on 206,000 and 207,000 shares were excluded in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE G — Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock compensation expense recorded in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009 was $1,248 and $1,861, respectively. Total stock compensation expense recorded in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $409 and $658, respectively. There were 624,450 shares of restricted stock awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 at prices ranging from $3.18 to $3.74 per share, of which 34,950 shares were awarded in the three months ended September 30, 2009. There were no stock options awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. There were 76,000 shares of restricted stock awarded during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 at prices ranging from $11.65 to $14.73. As of September 30, 2010, there was $2,297 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation, which cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.75 years.

NOTE H — Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

The components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods was as follows:

	Pension Benefits												Postretirement Benefits
	Three Months						Nine Months						Three Months					Nine Months

NOTE J — Accrued Warranty Costs

The Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold products that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance. The following table presents the changes in the Company’s product warranty liability:

	2010			2009
Balance at January 1	$	2,760		$	5,402
Claims paid during the year		(789	)		(2,456	)
Additional warranties issued during the first nine months		1,416			1,312
Balance at September 30	$	3,387		$	4,258

NOTE K — Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective income tax rate, and if the estimated income tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made.

The 2010 annual effective income tax rate is estimated to be approximately 18% and is lower than the 35% United States federal statutory rate primarily due to anticipated income in the United States for which the Company will record no tax expense and anticipated income earned in jurisdictions outside of the United States where the effective income tax rate is lower than in the United States.

The effective income tax rate in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009 was 9% and (51)%, respectively. The primary reason for the variance in the effective income tax rate is because the Company anticipates full-year 2010 income in the United States with no income taxes at September 30, 2010 and anticipated full-year 2009 losses in the United States with no tax benefit at September 30, 2009. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2010, the Company recognized a $1,354 tax benefit due to a reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance against its U.S. net deferred tax assets.

There have been no material changes to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits reported at December 31, 2009.

NOTE L — Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels of inputs. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

The fair value of the 8.375% Subordinated Notes due 2014 is estimated based on a third party’s bid price. The fair value approximated $180,618 at September 30, 2010. The fair value of term loans A and B approximated book value at September 30, 2010.

NOTE M — Asset Impairment

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company reviewed one of its investments and determined there was dimunition in value and therefore recorded an asset impairment charge of $3,539.

NOTE N — Financing Arrangement

The Company is a party to a credit and security agreement dated November 5, 2003, as amended (“Credit Agreement”), with a group of banks, under which it may borrow or issue standby letters of credit or commercial letters of credit. On March 8, 2010, and subsequently on August 31, 2010, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, extend its maturity date to April 30, 2014 and reduce the loan commitment from $270,000 to $210,000, which includes a term loan A for $28,000 that is secured by real estate and machinery and equipment and an unsecured term loan B for $12,000. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at either (i) LIBOR plus 2.25% to 3.25% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate minus (.25)% to plus .75%, at the Company’s election. The interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Interest on the term loan A is at either (i) LIBOR plus 3.25% to 4.25% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus .75% to 1.75%, at the Company’s election. Interest on the term loan B is at either (i) LIBOR plus 5.25% to 6.25% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus 3.25% to 4.25%, at the Company’s election. The term loan A is amortized based on a ten-year schedule with the balance due at maturity. The term loan B is amortized over a two-year period, plus 50% of debt service coverage excess capped at $3,500.

NOTE O — Accounts Receivable

During the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, the Company sold approximately $24,637 and $14,192, respectively, of accounts receivable to mitigate accounts receivable concentration risk and to provide additional financing capacity and recorded a loss in the amount of $102 and $65, respectively in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These losses represented implicit interest on the transactions.

NOTE P — Acquisitions

Effective August 31, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and assumed specific liabilities relating to Assembly Components Systems (“ACS”) business unit of Lawson Products, Inc. for $16,000 in cash and a $2,160 subordinated promissory note payable in equal quarterly installments over three years. ACS is a provider of supply chain management solutions for a broad range of production components through its service centers throughout North America. The net assets acquired were integrated into the Company’s Supply Technologies business segment. The total purchase price may be adjusted based on the final value of the net assets and liabilities of ACS as of August 31, 2010. The fair value of the net assets acquired of $20,370 exceeded the total purchase price and, accordingly, resulted in a gain on acquisition of business of $2,210. Net sales of $4,400 were added to the Company’s Supply Technologies business segment in 2010 since the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to ACS’s net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of August 31, 2010, the effective date of the acquisition. Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed which are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, the preliminary estimated purchase price is allocated as follows:

Accounts receivable	$	9,059
Inventories		16,711
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		42
Property, plant and equipment		299
Customer relationships		990
Accounts payable		(5,047	)
Accrued expenses		(330	)
Deferred tax liability		(1,354	)

The area of purchase price allocation that is not yet finalized relates to the working capital adjustment as of August 31, 2010. Prior to the measurement period for finalizing the purchase price allocation, if information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the purchase price allocation, such adjustments will be included in the purchase price allocation retrospectively. There were no significant direct transaction costs associated with this acquisition included in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010. These costs will be expensed as incurred in the fourth quarter.

On September 30, 2010, the Company entered a Bill of Sale with Rome Die Casting LLC (“Rome”), a producer of aluminum high pressure die castings, pursuant to which Rome agreed to transfer to the Company substantially all of its assets in exchange for approximately $7,500 of notes receivable due from Rome. The assets of Rome will be integrated into the Company’s aluminum segment. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to Rome’s net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of September 30, 2010, the effective date of the acquisition. Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the preliminary estimated purchase price is as follows:

Accounts receivable	$	1,918
Inventories		1,000
Property, plant and equipment		2,800
Accounts payable		(2,314	)
Accrued expenses		(516	)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based upon our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein; and in our report dated March 15, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Executive Overview

We are an industrial Total Supply Management^tm and diversified manufacturing business, operating in three segments: Supply Technologies, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. Our Supply Technologies business provides our customers with Total Supply Management^tm, a proactive solutions approach that manages the efficiencies of every aspect of supplying production parts and materials to our customers’ manufacturing floor, from strategic planning to program implementation. Total Supply Management^tm includes such services as engineering and design support, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking, just-in-time and point-of-use delivery, electronic billing services and ongoing technical support. The principal customers of Supply Technologies are in the heavy-duty truck, automotive and vehicle parts, electrical distribution and controls, consumer electronics, power sports/fitness equipment, HVAC, agricultural and construction equipment, semiconductor equipment, plumbing, aerospace and defense, and appliance industries. Aluminum Products casts and machines aluminum engine, transmission, brake, suspension and other components such as pump housings, clutch retainers/pistons, control arms, knuckles, master cylinders, pinion housings, brake calipers, oil pans and flywheel spacers for automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, heavy-duty truck and marine equipment original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), primarily on a sole-source basis. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering and assembly. Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems, industrial oven systems, injection molded rubber components, and forged and machined products. Manufactured Products also produces and provides services and spare parts for the equipment it manufactures. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are OEMs, sub-assemblers and end users in the ferrous and non-ferrous metals, silicon, coatings, forging, foundry, heavy-duty truck, construction equipment, automotive, oil and gas, rail and locomotive manufacturing and aerospace and defense industries. Sales, earnings and other relevant financial data for these three segments are provided in Note B to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and assumed specific liabilities relating to the Assembly Components Systems (“ACS”) business of Lawson Products, Inc. for $16.0 million in cash and a $2.2 million subordinated promissory note payable in equal quarterly installments over three years. ACS is a provider of supply chain management solutions for a broad range of production components through its service centers throughout North America. The Company recorded a gain of $2.2 million representing the excess of the aggregate fair value of purchased net assets over the purchase price. See Note P to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $3.5 million related to the write down of one of its investments.

On March 8, 2010 and subsequently on August 31, 2010, we amended our revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend its maturity to April 30, 2014 and reduce the loan commitment from $270.0 million to $210.0 million, which amount includes the borrowing under a term loan A for $28.0 million, that is secured by real estate and machinery and equipment, and an unsecured term loan B for $12.0 million. See Note M to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $7.0 million of asset impairment charges associated with general weakness in the economy including the railroad industry. The charges were composed of $1.8 million of inventory impairment in Cost of Products Sold and $5.2 million for impairment of property and equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 contained in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Net sales increased $79.7 million to $593.0 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $513.3 million in the same period in 2009 as the Company experienced volume increases in the Supply Technologies and Aluminum Products segments. Supply Technologies sales increased 22% primarily due to volume increases in the heavy duty truck, semi-conductor, power sports, HVAC, agricultural and construction equipment industries. In addition, there were $4.4 million of sales resulting from the acquisition of the ACS business. These additions were offset by declines in the lawn and garden, medical and automotive industries. Aluminum Products sales increased 45% as volumes increased to customers in the auto industry along with additional sales from new contracts. Manufactured Products sales decreased 3% due to the declining volume in the forged and machined products business unit because of volume declines in the rail industry partially offset by increases in the capital equipment and rubber products business units.

Consolidated SG&A expenses	$	65.5		$	66.5		$	(1.0	)		(2	)%
SG&A percent		11.0	%		13.0	%

Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased 2% in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, representing a 200 basis point decrease in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales. SG&A expenses decreased in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to an increase in pension income and the $2.0 million charge in 2009 for a reserve for an account receivable from a customer in bankruptcy partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits levels resulting from restoration to 2008 salary levels along with a bonus accrual.

Gain on Purchase of 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes:

During the first nine months of 2009, the Company recorded a gain of $5.1 million on the purchase of $6.125 million principal amount of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

Interest Expense:

Average outstanding borrowings	$	324.2		$	371.2		$	(47.0	)	(13)%
Average borrowing rate		7.44	%		6.46	%		98		basis points

Interest expense increased $.1 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings offset by a higher average borrowing rate during the first nine months of 2010. The decrease in average borrowings in the first nine months of 2010 resulted primarily from earnings and decreased working capital. The higher average borrowing rate in the first nine months of 2010 was due primarily to increased interest rates under our amended revolving credit facility compared to the same period in 2009.

Income Tax:

The provision for income taxes was $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2010, a 9% effective income tax rate, compared to income taxes of $1.8 million provided in the corresponding period of 2009, a (51)% effective income tax rate. We estimate that the effective tax rate for full-year 2010 will be approximately 18%, excluding the third quarter of 2010 valuation allowance reversal.

Consolidated net sales increased $34.4 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $203.0 compared to $168.6 million in the same quarter of 2009 as the Company experienced volume increases in the Supply Technologies and Aluminum Products segments. Supply Technologies sales increased 26% primarily due to volume increases in the truck, power sports, semi-conductor, HVAC, agricultural and construction equipment and industrial equipment industries offset by declines in the automotive industry. In addition, there were $4.4 million of sales resulting from the acquisition of the ACS business. Aluminum Products sales increased 13% as auto industry sales volumes increased along with additional sales from new contracts. Manufactured Products sales increased 17% resulting from higher sales in the capital equipment and rubber products business units offset by lower sales in the forged and machined products business unit because of volume declines in the rail industry.

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased $.5 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter in 2009, representing a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales of 200 basis points from 12.9% to 10.9%. SG&A expenses increased in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter in 2009 primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits levels resulting from restoration to 2008 salary levels along with a bonus accrual, partially offset by an increase in pension income and a $2.0 million charge in the third quarter of 2009 for a reserve for an account receivable from a customer in bankruptcy.

Gain on Purchase of 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes:

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a gain of $2.0 million on the purchase of $6.125 million principal amount of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

19

Interest expense increased $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings in 2010 offset by a higher average borrowing rate during the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in average borrowings in the third quarter of 2010 resulted primarily from earnings and a reduction in working capital. The higher average borrowing rate in the third quarter of 2010 was due primarily to increased interest rates under our amended revolving credit facility compared to the same period in 2009.

Income Tax:

The provision for income taxes was $(1.2) million in the third quarter of 2010, a (24)% effective income tax rate, compared to income taxes of $0.3 million provided in the corresponding quarter of 2009, a (10)% effective income tax rate. We estimate that the effective tax rate for full-year 2010 will be approximately 18%, excluding the third quarter of 2010 valuation allowance reversal.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Our liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of our senior subordinated notes. In 2003, we entered into a revolving credit facility with a group of banks which, as subsequently amended, matures at April 30, 2014 and provides for availability of up to $170 million subject to an asset-based formula. We have the option to increase the availability under the revolving loan portion of the credit facility by $25 million. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all our assets in the United States and Canada. Borrowings from this revolving credit facility will be used for general corporate purposes. On March 8, 2010 and subsequently on August 31, 2010, the revolving credit facility was amended and restated to, among other things, extend its maturity date to April 30, 2014, reduce the loan commitment from $270.0 million to $210.0 million, which amount includes a term loan A for $28.0 million ($26.6 million outstanding at September, 2010) that is secured by real estate and machinery and equipment and an unsecured term loan B for $12.0 million ($9.6 million outstanding at September 30, 2010). Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at either (i) LIBOR plus 2.25% to 3.25% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate minus .25% to plus .75%, at the Company’s election. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the revolving credit facility. Under the revolving credit facility, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Interest on the term loan A is at either (i) LIBOR plus 3.25% to 4.25% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus .75% to 1.75%, at the Company’s election. Interest on the term loan B is at either (i) LIBOR plus 5.25% to 6.25% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus 3.25% to 4.25%, at the Company’s election. The term loan A is amortized based on a ten-year schedule with the balance due at maturity. The term loan B is amortized over a two-year period, plus 50% of debt service coverage excess capped at $3.5 million.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $128.6 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and approximately $50.4 million of unused borrowing availability.

Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate to meet current cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving loan portion of the credit facility is based on the Company’s ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the debt service ratio could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities or in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. It may also repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

At September 30, 2010, the Company’s debt service coverage ratio was 2.1, and, therefore, it was in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant contained in the revolving credit facility. The Company was also in compliance with the other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2010. The debt service coverage ratio is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter and is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters of consolidated EBITDA minus cash taxes paid, minus unfunded capital expenditures, plus cash

20

tax refunds to consolidated debt charges which are consolidated cash interest expense plus scheduled principal payments on indebtedness plus scheduled reductions in our term debt as defined in the revolving credit facility. The debt service coverage ratio must be greater than 1.0 and not less than 1.1 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2010, declines in demand in the automotive industry and in sales volumes in 2010 could adversely impact our ability to remain in compliance with certain of these financial covenants. Additionally, to the extent our customers are adversely affected by declines in demand in the automotive industry or the economy in general, they may not be able to pay their accounts payable to us on a timely basis or at all, which would make the accounts receivable ineligible for purposes of the revolving credit facility and could reduce our borrowing base and our ability to borrow under such facility.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.26 at September 30, 2010 versus 2.75 at December 31, 2009. Working capital decreased by $3.9 million to $218.8 million at September 30, 2010 from $222.7 million at December 31, 2009. Accounts receivable increased $32.4 million to $137.0 million at September 30, 2010 from $104.6 million in 2009 primarily resulting from the acquisitions in 2010 and sales volume increases. Inventory increased by $10.9 million at September 30, 2010 to $193.0 million from $182.1 million at December 31, 2009 primarily resulting from the two acquisitions in 2010 and planned reductions and sales volumes increases. Accrued expenses increased by $22.8 million to $61.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $39.1 at December 31, 2009 primarily resulting from increases in advance billings, the accrual for income taxes, accrual for salaries and wages because of the timing of pay dates and bonus accrual increases and accounts payable increased $22.4 million to $97.5 million at September 30, 2010 from $75.1 million at December 31, 2009.

During the first nine months of 2010, the Company provided $49.7 million from operating activities compared to $29.2 million in the same period of 2009. The increase in the operating cash provision of $20.5 million was primarily the result of net income of $11.7 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to a net loss of $5.4 million in the first nine months of 2009, (a change of $17.1 million), a decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $23.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to a decrease of $23.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 offset by a reduction of depreciation and amortization expense of $2.0 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the first nine months of 2009. In the first nine months of 2010, the Company used cash of $2.2 million for capital expenditures and made an acquisition for $16.0 million in cash. These activities, plus cash interest and tax payments of $14.4 million, a net reduction in borrowings of $13.8 million, purchase of treasury stock of $1.0 million and debt issue costs of $4.1 million resulted in an increase in cash of $12.7 million in the first nine months of 2010.

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons. There are occasions whereupon we enter into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the euro and British Pound Sterling, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar. At September 30, 2010, none were outstanding. We currently have no other derivative instruments.

Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results

Our results of operations are typically stronger in the first six months than the last six months of each calendar year due to plant maintenance scheduled in the third quarter to coincide with customer plant shutdowns and due to holidays in the fourth quarter.

The timing of orders placed by our customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers’ finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of our business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses, included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The words “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our

21

actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These uncertainties and other factors include such things as: general business conditions and competitive factors, including pricing pressures and product innovation; demand for our products and services; raw material availability and pricing; changes in our relationships with customers and suppliers; the financial condition of our customers, including the impact of any bankruptcies; our ability to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions into existing operations; changes in general domestic economic conditions such as inflation rates, interest rates, and tax rates; adverse impacts to us, our suppliers and customers from acts of terrorism or hostilities; our ability to meet various covenants, including financial covenants, contained in our revolving credit agreement and the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes; increasingly stringent domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including those affecting the environment; inherent uncertainties involved in assessing our potential liability for environmental remediation-related activities; the outcome of pending and future litigation and other claims; dependence on the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries, which are highly cyclical; dependence on key management; and dependence on information systems. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved.

Review By Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2010, and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, have been reviewed, prior to filing, by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and their report is included herein.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. We are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under our floating rate revolving credit agreement, which consisted of borrowings of $128.6 million at September 30, 2010. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.0 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010.

Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first nine months of 2010, we recorded an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $.7 million related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment resulted primarily from the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Our foreign operations are also subject to other customary risks of operating in a global environment, such as unstable political situations, the effect of local laws and taxes, tariff increases and regulations and requirements for export licenses, the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions and transportation delays.

The Company periodically enters into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the euro and the British Pound Sterling, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar. The Company currently uses no other derivative instruments. At September 30, 2010, there were no such currency hedge contracts outstanding.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation involves an element of uncertainty, in the opinion of management, liabilities, if any, arising from currently pending or threatened litigation are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

At September 30, 2010, we were a co-defendant in approximately 300 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 1,240 plaintiffs alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These asbestos cases generally relate to production and sale of asbestos-containing products and allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages.

In every asbestos case in which we are named as a party, the complaints are filed against multiple named defendants. In substantially all of the asbestos cases, the plaintiffs either claim damages in excess of a specified amount, typically a minimum amount sufficient to establish jurisdiction of the court in which the case was filed (jurisdictional minimums generally range from $25,000 to $75,000), or do not specify the monetary damages sought. To the extent that any specific amount of damages is sought, the amount applies to claims against all named defendants.

There are only five asbestos cases, involving 25 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages. In each of the five cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of potentially alternative causes of action. In three cases, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $3.0 million for four separate causes of action and $1.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $10.0 million. In the fourth case, the plaintiff has alleged against each named defendant, compensatory and punitive damages each in the amount of $10.0 million for seven separate causes of action. In the fifth case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $20.0 million for three separate causes of action and $5.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $20.0 million.

Historically, we have been dismissed from asbestos cases on the basis that the plaintiff incorrectly sued one of our subsidiaries or because the plaintiff failed to identify any asbestos-containing product manufactured or sold by us or our subsidiaries. We intend to vigorously defend these asbestos cases, and believe we will continue to be successful in being dismissed from such cases. However, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings due to the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation. Despite this uncertainty, and although our results of operations and cash flows for a particular period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Among the factors management considered in reaching this conclusion were: (a) our historical success in being dismissed from these types of lawsuits on the bases mentioned above; (b) many cases have been improperly filed against one of our subsidiaries; (c) in many cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to establish any causal relationship to us or our products or premises; (d) in many cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any identifiable injury or compensable loss at all, that any injuries that they have incurred did in fact result from alleged exposure to asbestos; and (e) the complaints assert claims against multiple defendants and, in most cases, the damages alleged are not attributed to individual defendants. Additionally, we do not believe that the amounts claimed in any of the asbestos cases are meaningful indicators of our potential exposure because the amounts claimed typically bear no relation to the extent of the plaintiff’s injury, if any.

Our cost of defending these lawsuits has not been material to date and, based upon available information, our management does not expect its future costs for asbestos-related lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

EX-4.1

Exhibit 4.1

CONSENT AND AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THIRD
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

          This CONSENT AND AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is dated as of July 9, 2010, and is entered into by and among PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES, INC. and RB&W CORPORATION OF CANADA, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the EX-IM BORROWERS party to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the other Loan Parties party to the Credit Agreement, the lenders party to the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., TORONTO BRANCH, as Canadian Agent.

WITNESSETH:

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement and this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

          10. Ratification. The terms and provisions set forth in this Amendment shall modify and supersede all inconsistent terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and shall not be deemed to be a consent to the modification or waiver of any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly modified and superseded by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement are ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect.

          11. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be a contract made under and governed by the laws of the state of Illinois, without regard to conflict of laws principles that would require the application of laws other than those of the state of Ohio. Whenever possible each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.

The sum of the Closing Payment plus the principal amount of the Note plus the aggregate amount of the Assumed Liabilities, as such sum may be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.4 or Section 8.7, is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”.

Section 3.4 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a preliminary statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) of the Net Working Capital, determined as of the effective time of the Closing and in accordance with GAAP (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The Seller and its Affiliates shall provide the Buyer and its representatives with full access at all reasonable times and on reasonable advance notice to such personnel and books, records and other materials of the Seller to the extent they are reasonably necessary for the preparation of, or relate to the matters covered by, the Preliminary Statement, Final Statement and Closing Date Net Working Capital.

(b) The Seller shall have thirty (30) days to review the Preliminary Statement from the date of its receipt thereof (the “Review Period”). If the Seller objects to any aspect of the Preliminary Statement, then the Seller must deliver a written notice of objection (the “Objection Notice”) to the Buyer on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period. The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail any adjustment to the Preliminary Statement proposed by the Seller and the basis therefor, including the specific items proposed to be adjusted and the specific Dollar amount of each such proposed adjustment and an explanation of how such proposed adjustment was calculated. If the Seller delivers an Objection Notice to the Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period in accordance with this Section 3.4(b), the Buyer and the Seller shall, for a period of fifteen (15) days thereafter (the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve the matters properly contained therein, and any written resolution, signed by each of the Buyer and the Seller, as to any such matter shall be final,

14

binding, conclusive and non-appealable for all purposes hereunder. Except to the extent properly challenged in an Objection Notice as provided in this Section 3.4(b), or in the event the Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice to the Buyer in accordance with this Section 3.4(b) prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to the Preliminary Statement in its entirety, which Preliminary Statement or undisputed portions thereof (as the case may be) shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for all purposes hereunder.

(c) If, at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, the Buyer and the Seller have not reached an agreement with respect to all disputed matters properly contained in the Objection Notice, then within ten (10) days thereafter, the Buyer and the Seller shall submit for resolution such matters remaining in dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, or if such firm is unavailable or unwilling to so serve, to a mutually acceptable nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Neutral Auditor”). Each of the Seller and the Buyer agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditor, an engagement letter reasonably satisfactory to such Party. The Neutral Auditor shall act as an arbitrator to resolve (based solely on the written submissions of the Buyer and the Seller and not by independent review) only those matters properly included in the Objection Notice and still in dispute at the end of the Resolution Period. The Buyer and the Seller shall direct the Neutral Auditor to render a reasoned written resolution of all such disputed matters, in accordance with the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after its engagement or such other period agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller. The resolution of the Neutral Auditor shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each of the Buyer and the Seller and shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for all purposes hereunder. The Preliminary Statement, once modified and/or agreed to in accordance with Section 3.4(b) or this Section 3.4(c), shall become the “Final Statement.”

(d) All fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditor shall be borne equally by the Seller and the Buyer, and each of them shall promptly advance to the Neutral Auditor, upon its request, such Party’s share of such fees and expenses. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Neutral Auditor shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense.

(e) If the Closing Date Net Working Capital as stated on the Final Statement exceeds $22,400,000, then the outstanding principal amount of the Note shall be increased by an amount equal to the excess of such Closing Date Net Working Capital over $22,400,000. If the Closing Date Net Working Capital as stated on the Final Statement is less than $21,800,000, then an amount equal to the excess of $21,800,000 over such Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be applied as an offset against, and shall be deemed to be a prepayment of, the outstanding principal amount of the Note. Any (i) increase of the outstanding principal amount of the Note or (ii) offset against, or deemed prepayment of, the outstanding principal amount of the Note, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 3.4 will be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. If the Closing Date Net Working Capital as stated on the Final Statement is greater than or equal to $21,800,000 and less than or equal to $22,400,000, then there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 3.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. The allocation of the Purchase Price and other consideration paid in exchange for the Purchased Assets is set forth in Schedule 3.5 in

15

accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (or any successor form or successor provision of any future Tax Law) (the “Allocation”). The Seller and the Buyer each agree to use such Allocation to prepare and file in a timely manner all Tax Returns including, if applicable, Form 8594, and to take no position in any Tax Return, Tax proceeding or Tax audit that is inconsistent with such Allocation, unless otherwise required under applicable Law or agreed in writing by the Seller or the Buyer as required by a Tax audit by a taxing authority having jurisdiction over such party. Each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, provide prompt notice to the other Party of any audit, inquiry or Action with respect to the Allocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby agree that in no event shall more than 1% of the Purchase Price be allocated to the Purchased Assets of the Maquiladora Entity.

Section 6.2 Consents; Nonassignable Contracts.

(a) The Seller and the Buyer each shall use commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing Date to obtain any consents, approvals or authorizations of any third parties that are not obtained prior to the Closing Date and that are required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, with respect to the Leases, consents, estoppel certificates and such other documents reasonably required by, and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to, the Buyer); provided that neither Party shall be required to make any expenditure or incur any liability in connection with such efforts, unless reimbursed by the other Party for the full amount of any such expenditure or liability; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall be responsible for any costs incurred in obtaining the consents, estoppel certificates and other documents with respect to the Leases.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any Material Contract is not capable of being transferred by either of the Sellers to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement without the consent, approval or authorization of a third party (a “Specified Contract”), and such consent, approval or authorization is not obtained prior to the Closing, or if such transfer or attempted transfer would materially impair Buyer’s rights under or constitute a breach or a violation of such Specified Contract or any Law (each a “Specified Consent”), nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an assignment or transfer or an attempted assignment or transfer thereof.

(c) In the event that any such Specified Consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, for a reasonable period of time not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, or cause one of its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) provide to the Buyer the benefits of the applicable Specified Contract, at the Buyer’s expense; (ii) cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Buyer; and (iii) enforce at the request and expense of the Buyer and for the account of the Buyer, any rights of the Sellers arising from any such Specified Contract; provided that the Seller shall not be required to make any expenditure or incur any liability in connection with any such activities described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, unless reimbursed by the Buyer for the full amount of any such expenditure or liability.

(d) If the Buyer is provided benefits under any Specified Contract pursuant to Section 6.2(c), the Buyer shall perform and discharge when due the obligations and liabilities of the Sellers under such Specified Contract, for the benefit of the Sellers and the other party or parties thereto. The Seller shall, without further consideration therefor, pay and remit to the

27

Buyer promptly all monies, rights, and other consideration received in respect of the Buyer’s performance of any obligations under such Specified Contracts, and, at the Buyer’s request, shall direct that such payments be made directly to the Buyer. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall not terminate any Specified Contract without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

(e) Once a Specified Consent is obtained, the applicable Specified Contract shall be deemed to be a Purchased Contract on the terms set forth in this Agreement with respect to the other Purchased Contracts.

(f) The Buyer agrees that, so long as the Seller has complied with its obligations under Section 6.2(a), the Seller shall have no liability whatsoever to the Buyer arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents, approvals or authorizations that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the breach, violation, acceleration or termination of any Contract as a result thereof.

The Seller shall be responsible for all such Apportioned Obligations accruing during any period up to and including the Closing Date. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer for the amount of such Apportioned Obligations that are determined by multiplying the Apportioned Obligation by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. The Buyer is responsible for all such Apportioned Obligations accruing during any period after the Closing Date. The Buyer agrees to indemnify the Seller for the amount of such Apportioned Obligations that are determined by multiplying the Apportioned Obligation by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period after the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. With respect to Taxes described in this Section 6.3, the Seller shall timely file all Tax Returns due before the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes and the Buyer shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns due after the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes. If one party remits to the appropriate taxing authority payment for Taxes, which are subject to proration under this Section 6.3 and such payment includes the other party’s share of such Taxes, such other party shall promptly reimburse the remitting party for its share of such Taxes. For Apportioned Obligations measured by the amount or level of any item (including such Taxes as are measured by the amount of capital or the value of intangibles), the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer for the amount of such Apportioned Obligations that are determined by multiplying the Apportioned Obligation by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle

28

Period. The Seller and the Buyer shall share the costs of any inquiry, examination or Action by a Governmental Entity with respect to any Apportioned Obligation in proportion to the fraction determined in this Section 6.3 with respect to the nature of the obligation in dispute.

Section 6.4 Agreements Regarding Employee Matters.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall offer to employ each person who was an Active Employee of the Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date for the same or greater amount of base salary that such Active Employee received from the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date. Effective as of the Maquiladora Closing Date, the Buyer (or its designated Affiliate) shall offer to employ each person who was an Active Employee of the Maquiladora Entity immediately prior to the Maquiladora Closing Date for the same or greater amount of base salary that such Active Employee received from the Business immediately prior to the Maquiladora Closing Date.

Solely with respect to medical coverage, for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on September 30, 2010, the Seller shall cause the applicable Benefit Plan to provide medical continuation coverage for Transferred Employees of the Seller on a COBRA basis. Buyer shall be solely responsible for the entire cost of providing such continuation coverage. Upon receipt of an invoice from the Seller with respect to the cost of providing such continuation coverage, Buyer shall remit to Seller such amounts within five (5) Business Days.

(c) The Buyer will cause any benefit plans of the Buyer (the “Buyer Plans”) which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate in to take into account for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual thereunder, prior service by such Transferred Employees with the Seller and its Affiliates as if such service were with the Buyer, to the same extent such service was credited under a comparable plan of the Seller and/or its Affiliates; provided that such prior service will not count towards any accruals under a defined benefits plan or result in the duplication of benefits. The Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to credit such Transferred Employees with any amounts paid under Benefit Plan of the Seller prior to the Closing or the Maquiladora Closing, as applicable, toward satisfaction of the applicable deductible amounts and co-payment obligations under the corresponding Buyer Plans for the plan year in which such Transferred Employees become eligible to participate in such Buyer Plans to the extent such Benefit Plans and Buyer Plans have the same plan year.

29

(d) The Buyer (i) agrees to provide any required notice under the WARN Act or any similar Law with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Transferred Employees occurring from and after the Closing or the Maquiladora Closing (not including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), as applicable, and (ii) shall bear and be responsible for any liability and related costs and expenses arising from or relating to any claim brought as a result of any action of the Buyer or its Affiliates that would cause any termination of employment of any employees by the Seller or its Affiliates that occurs prior to the Closing or the Maquiladora Closing, as applicable, (A) to constitute a “plant closing”, “mass layoff” or group termination or similar event under the WARN Act or any similar Law or (B) to create any liability or penalty to the Seller for any employment terminations under applicable Law.

(e) The Buyer and the Seller agree to comply with the Standard Procedure described in Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-2 C.B. 320 (the “Standard Procedure”). With respect to Transferred Employees, the Seller shall, in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2004-53, assume all responsibility for preparing and filing Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statements; Form W-3, Transmittal of Income and Tax Statements; Form 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Returns; Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificates; and Form W-5, Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificates (collectively, the “Employee Withholding Documents”) with regard to wages paid through the day before the Closing Date. The Buyer shall assume all responsibility for preparing and filing the Employee Withholding Documents with regard to wages paid to Transferred Employees on and after the Closing Date. The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate in good faith to the extent necessary to permit each of them to comply with the Standard Procedure.

(f) The Seller shall have sole responsibility for “continuation coverage” benefits for any employee of the Seller and all “qualified beneficiaries” of any such employee for whom a “qualifying event” occurs on or prior to the Closing (including all qualifying events that occur in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). The terms “continuation coverage,” “qualified beneficiaries” and “qualifying event” shall have the meanings ascribed to them under Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601-608 of ERISA. The Buyer shall have sole responsibility for “continuation coverage” benefits for any Transferred Employee and all “qualified beneficiaries” of any such Transferred Employee for whom a “qualifying event” occurs after the Closing.

(b) The Sellers shall exercise control over the handling, disposition and settlement of any inquiry, examination or proceeding by a Governmental Entity that relates solely to Taxes for which the Sellers would be required to indemnify the Buyer (a “Tax Matter”). The Buyer shall notify the Seller in writing promptly upon learning of any Tax Matter. Neither Seller (nor any of its Affiliates) shall agree to settle any Tax Matter that may affect the liability for Taxes of the Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) for any taxable period that ends after the Closing Date without the Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) If the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer receives a refund with respect to Taxes for which the Seller or any of its Affiliates is wholly or partially responsible under Section 6.3, the Buyer or such Affiliate shall pay to the Seller, within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of such refund, the amount of such refund attributable to the Seller. If the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller receives a refund with respect to Taxes for which the Buyer is wholly or partially responsible under Section 6.3, the Seller or such Affiliate shall pay to the Buyer, within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of such refund, the amount of such refund attributable to the Buyer.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Buyer and the Seller shall (i) pay one-half of all amounts that are required to be paid in respect of any transfer, sales, use, recording, value-added or similar Taxes (including any registration and/or stamp Taxes, levies and duties) that may be imposed by reason of the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Purchased Assets (the “Transfer Taxes”); and (ii) timely file all Tax Returns, at the Parties’ shared expense, required to be filed in connection with the payment of such Taxes.

Section 6.6 Preservation of Records. The Parties shall preserve and keep all books and records that they own immediately after the Closing relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date or for such longer period as may be required by applicable Law, unless disposed of in the ordinary course or pursuant to a document retention policy. During such retention period, duly authorized representatives of a Party shall, upon reasonable notice, have reasonable access during normal business hours to examine, inspect and copy such books and records held by the other Party, except as may be prohibited by Law, by the terms of any Contract or under any confidentiality agreement; provided that to the extent that disclosing any such information would reasonably be expected to constitute a waiver of attorney-client, work product or other privilege with respect thereto, the Parties shall take all commercially reasonable action to prevent a waiver of any such privilege, including entering into an appropriate joint defense agreement in connection with affording access to such information.

31

Section 6.7 Seller’s Obligation to Change its Name. Promptly following the Closing, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing, the Seller shall take any action necessary (including amending its constituent documents) to change its name to a name that does not include or relate to and is not based on or likely to be confused with the name “Assembly Component Systems” or “ACS”.

Section 6.8 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) The Seller hereby acknowledges that the Seller is familiar with the Business’ trade secrets and with other Confidential Information. The Seller further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 6.8 are a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that the Buyer and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the Parties if the Seller breached the provisions of this Section 6.8. Therefore, during the period from the Closing Date through the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (i) engage, directly or indirectly (whether as shareholder, partner, joint venturer, financing source or consultant in any capacity whatsoever), anywhere in the world, in any business that competes directly with the Business (a “Restricted Business”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.8(a) to the contrary, (i) no Affiliate of the Seller will be prohibited from engaging in any business currently conducted by such Affiliate or any natural extensions thereof, including (for the avoidance of doubt) the continued sale and/or distribution by such Affiliate of any products or product lines currently sold or distributed by such Affiliate or any natural extensions thereof; (ii) the acquisition (by asset purchase, stock purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) by the Seller or any of its Affiliates of the stock, business or assets of any Person that at the time of such acquisition is engaged in a Restricted Business, and the continuation of such Restricted Business following such acquisition, will not be prohibited hereunder if such activities do not constitute the principal activities of the Person or business acquired (based on the sales of such business during the preceding four (4) full calendar quarters); provided that if the Restricted Business constitutes in excess of the lesser of (A) forty percent (40%) of the revenues of the Person or business acquired or (B) revenues in excess of twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000) of the Person or business acquired (in each case based on the preceding four (4) full calendar quarters), the Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to divest that portion of such Person or business that engages in the Restricted Business within twelve (12) months after its acquisition of such Person or business; and (iii) the acquisition of the stock, business or assets of the Seller and/or any of its Affiliates (by asset purchase, stock purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) by any Person who is not a current Affiliate of the Seller will not be prohibited hereunder. Nothing in this Section 6.8 will restrict or prevent the Seller or any of its Affiliates from maintaining or undertaking passive investments in any Person primarily engaged in a Restricted Business so long as the aggregate interest represented by such investments does not exceed ten percent (10%) of any class of the outstanding debt or equity securities of any such Person.

(c) During the period from the Closing Date through the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, recruit or hire any employee of the Business or any employee, agent or consultant of the Buyer or any of

32

its Affiliates, or encourage any such employee, agent or consultant to terminate his or her relationship with the Buyer or any of its Affiliates; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not (i) prevent the Seller, the Parent or any of its other Affiliates from offering employment to any Transferred Employee who responds to a general solicitation or advertisement that is not specifically directed at him or her (and nothing shall prohibit such general solicitation or advertisement not specifically directed at Transferred Employees) and (ii) prevent the Seller, the Parent or any of its other Affiliates from hiring any Transferred Employee that has been terminated by the Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates, successors or assigns prior to the date of such hiring.

(d) If the Seller breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 6.8 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), the Buyer shall have the right to seek to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable injury to the Buyer and its Affiliates and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy to the Buyer and its Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 6.8 shall be construed to limit the right of the Buyer to collect money damages in the event of a breach of the Restrictive Covenants. In addition to the remedies the Buyer may seek and obtain pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Restricted Period shall be extended by and all periods during which the Seller shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in violation of the Restrictive Covenants.

(e) If any Governmental Entity determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall, to the extent enforceable under applicable Law, not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the portions which have been declared invalid or unenforceable. If any Governmental Entity determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, it is the intention of the Parties that such Governmental Entity shall have the power to modify any such provision, to the extent necessary to render the provision enforceable, and such provision as so modified shall be enforced.

36

(i) prior to its expiration in accordance with Section 8.1, the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document (provided, that for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification or reimbursement hereunder, each such representation or warranty shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the term “material” or “Buyer Material Adverse Effect” or similar phrases contained in such representation or warranty);

(a) If any third party notifies an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter that may give rise to a Claim for indemnification (a “Third Party Claim”) against the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly thereof in writing (a “Claim Notice”) and in any event within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice from a third party; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. All Claim Notices shall describe with reasonable specificity the Third Party Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s Claim for indemnification. Upon the Indemnified Party’s delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent desired, to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its choice by providing the

37

Indemnified Party with written notice within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claim Notice; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not assume such defense unless (i) it has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result; and (ii) the Third Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to solely seek) monetary damages. If the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with notice of its determination to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall control such Third Party Claim and shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the Indemnifying Party does not actually assume the defense thereof following notice of such election. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it is assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing (subject to the limitations on the Indemnifying Party’s obligations to indemnify as set forth in this ARTICLE VIII). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim which the other is defending as provided in this Agreement.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim that might give rise to liability of the other Party under this ARTICLE VIII without such Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties or the entry of a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to the amount of indemnifiable Losses for any Buyer Claim pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Buyer shall have the right and option (but not the obligation) to offset the amount of such Losses against the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, which shall be deemed to be a prepayment of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note by the Buyer.

Section 8.6 Certain Limitations.

(a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT (i) IN THE CASE OF FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION, (ii) TO THE EXTENT AWARDED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION OR ARBITRATOR WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM INDEMNIFIABLE HEREUNDER OR (iii) TO THE EXTENT PAID BY A BUYER INDEMNIFIED PARTY TO A THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM INDEMNIFIABLE HEREUNDER, AN INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE VIII IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST TAX OR INCOME TAX BENEFITS, INCREASED INSURANCE PREMIUMS OR LOST PROFITS.

38

(b) The obligations of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII shall be terminated, modified or abated as appropriate to the extent that the underlying Claim would not have arisen but for a voluntary act that is carried out by or at the express written request of the Indemnified Party.

(c) The amount of any indemnification payable under this ARTICLE VIII shall be reduced by an amount equal to the proceeds available to the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy or from any third-party in respect of such Claim. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any insurance recovery or third-party recovery available to it with respect to any Claim for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII.

Section 8.7 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement, or amounts deemed to be prepayments of outstanding principal amount of the Note pursuant to Section 8.5(c), shall be treated by the Parties as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Section 8.8 Mitigation. The Indemnified Parties shall take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate or otherwise minimize any Losses that form the basis of a Claim hereunder.

EXECUTION VERSION

SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE

August 31, 2010 $3,000,000.00

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Supply Technologies LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Lawson Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Payee”), the principal amount of Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00), together with interest thereon calculated from the date hereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Subordinated Promissory Note (this “Note”).

This Note was issued pursuant to Section 3.3 of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Maker, Park-Ohio Industries, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Maker Parent”), Assembly Component Systems, Inc., an Illinois corporation, and the Payee (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Purchase Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

1. Principal. The Maker shall pay to the holder of this Note (the “Holder”) the outstanding principal amount of this Note in twelve equal quarterly installments of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) each, with such quarterly payments to be made on the following dates: November 30, 2010; February 28, 2011; May 31, 2011; August 31, 2011; November 30, 2011; February 29, 2012; May 31, 2012; August 31, 2012; November 30, 2012; February 28, 2013; May 31, 2013; and August 31, 2013, or if any such date is not a Business Day, then on the next immediately succeeding Business Day following such date.

2. Interest. The unpaid principal amount of this Note shall accrue interest from and after the date hereof on a daily basis at the rate of 8.00% per annum; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), interest shall, at the written election of the Payee, accrue at the rate of 10.80% per annum. The Maker shall pay to the Holder all accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note on each quarterly payment date set forth in Section 1. Interest on this Note and the amounts payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day, or, if appropriate, 366-day year and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first and excluding the last day of the period).

Unless prohibited under applicable Law, any accrued interest which is not paid on the date on which it is due and payable shall bear interest at the same rate at which interest is then accruing on the outstanding principal amount of this Note. Any accrued interest which for any reason has not theretofore been paid shall be paid in full on the date on which the final principal payment on this Note is paid.

The rate of interest payable hereunder shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable Law. If the rate of interest payable hereunder is ever reduced as a result of this paragraph and at any time thereafter the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law shall exceed the rate of interest provided for in this Note, then the rate provided for in this Note

shall be increased to the maximum rate provided by applicable Law for such period as is required so that the total amount of interest received by the Holder is that which would have been received by the Holder but for the operation of the first sentence of this paragraph.

3. Mandatory Prepayment. Upon the occurrence of any sale, conveyance, assignment or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker or the Maker Parent or any “Change in Control” of the Maker or the Maker Parent, the Maker shall pay to the Holder the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all accrued but unpaid interest. For purposes of this Section 3, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

4. Optional Prepayment. At any time and from time to time, the Maker may, at its option, prepay, without premium or penalty, all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid.

5. Deemed Prepayments.

(a) Pursuant to Section 3.4(e) of the Purchase Agreement, if the Closing Date Net Working Capital as stated on the Final Statement is less than $21,800,000, then an amount equal to the excess of $21,800,000 over such Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be applied as an offset against, and shall be deemed to be a prepayment of, the outstanding principal amount of this Note.

(b) Pursuant to Section 8.5(c) of the Purchase Agreement, if the Maker elects to offset the amount of any indemnifiable Losses under the Purchase Agreement against the outstanding principal amount of this Note, the amount of such offset shall be deemed to be a prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of this Note.

6. Application of Prepayments. All prepayments (or deemed prepayments) of principal by the Maker under this Note shall reduce the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and shall be applied against the outstanding principal payments contemplated by Section 1 in the reverse order in which such payments would otherwise be required to be made by the Maker.

7. Subordination. Each of the Maker and the Payee agrees, for itself and each future Holder, that the payment of this Note is and shall be subordinate and junior to any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Maker pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2010, by and among the Maker, RB&W Corporation of Canada, the Ex-Im Borrowers party thereto, the other loan parties thereto, the lenders party thereto and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Toronto Branch, as Canadian agent, RBS Business Capital, as syndication agent, KeyBank National Association, as co-documentation agent, JP Morgan Securities Inc., as sole lead arranger, PNC Bank, National Association, as joint bookrunner and U.S. Bank National Association, as co-documentation agent and joint bookrunner (the “Credit Agreement”). Until payment in full of the obligations and termination of commitments under the Credit Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent, the Maker agrees not to pay, any

2

amounts due and payable hereunder other than scheduled payments and mandatory and deemed prepayments of principal and interest. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no payments of any amounts due and payable hereunder shall be made if, at the time of the making of such payment, an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. Holder shall promptly turn over any payment received in violation of this Section 7 to the Agent for application to the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and related documents as from time to time in effect. Until payment in full of the obligations and termination of commitments under the Credit Agreement, Holder agrees not to, during any period during which it is not permitted to receive any amounts due and payable hereunder pursuant to this Section 7, (i) accelerate any such payment or commence any action or proceeding against Maker or Maker Parent to enforce payment of all or any portion of such amount due and payable or (ii) make any demand for any payment of any amounts due and payable hereunder, or attempt to receive, collect or retain the same, whether by collection, setoff, foreclosure, counterclaim or otherwise. No provision of this Note may be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Agent.

8. Events of Default.

(a) Definition. For purposes of this Note, an “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) the Maker fails to pay when due, or when declared or deemed due, (A) all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note or (B) all or any portion of the accrued interest or any other amount payable under this Note, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days unless at such time such payment was not permitted under the subordination terms hereof;

(ii) the Maker fails to perform in any material respect or defaults in the performance of any material covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Note and, if capable of being cured, such failure to perform in all material respects or default in performance continues for a period of five (5) Business Days after the Maker receives written notice of such failure to perform or default in performance;

(iii) any representation or warranty of the Maker made in this Note or in any other writing or certificate furnished by or on behalf of the Maker to the Payee for the purposes of or in connection with this Note is or shall be incorrect when made in any material respect;

(iv) (A) the Maker, the Maker Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (1) under any existing or future Law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (2) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or the Maker, the Maker Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall make a general

3

assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (B) there shall be commenced against the Maker, the Maker Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (A) above which (1) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (2) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of sixty (60) days; or (C) there shall be commenced against the Maker, the Maker Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries any case, proceeding or other action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within sixty (60) days from the entry thereof; or (D) the Maker, the Maker Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall take any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clause (A), (B), or (C) above; or (E) the Maker, the Maker Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall generally not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due; or

(v) the Maker, the Maker Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries fails to make payment on the due date (whether by scheduled maturity, required repayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), after giving effect to applicable grace periods (if any), of any amount payable under the Credit Agreement; or

(vi) one or more orders, judgments and/or decrees shall be entered against the Maker, the Maker Parent and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries for the payment of money in an aggregate amount (as to all such orders, judgments and decrees) exceeding $5,000,000 (to the extent not covered by insurance as to which the insurer has been notified of the potential claim and does not dispute coverage), and all such orders, judgments or decrees shall not have been paid and satisfied, vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within sixty (60) days from the entry thereof.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason or cause for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

(b) Consequences of Events of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then the entire principal balance and all accrued interest under this Note shall, at the option of the Holder and upon written notice to the Maker by the Holder (except in the case of any Event of Default under Section (iv) above, in which event acceleration shall be automatic), become immediately due and payable. Each right, power or remedy of the Holder upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as provided for in this Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Holder of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Holder of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.

3

of the applicable Transition Services. In addition, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that to the extent all or part of any Transition Services are provided by a Third Party Service Provider, such Transition Services will be subject to such additional changes or modifications (including increases in the costs charged by such Third Party Service Provider for such Transition Services), as may be required by such Third Party Service Provider.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Service Providers shall not be responsible for providing any Transition Service, or part thereof, if and to the extent such Transition Service would violate applicable Law; provided that, at the expense of Buyer, the Parties shall cooperate to modify the applicable Transition Service so that such Transition Service may be provided in compliance with applicable Law. No Service Provider shall have any responsibility or liability for failure to provide any, or part of any, Transition Service unable to be provided as contemplated by this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 Third Party Consents and Providers. Following the Effective Date, the Service Providers may be required to obtain third-party consents and approvals to provide certain Transition Services. Buyer and the Service Providers shall cooperate in all respects to obtain such consents or approvals, and each Party shall bear fifty percent (50%) of any fees and expenses of third parties incurred in connection with obtaining such consents and approvals.

Section 2.5 Requests for Additional Services. Following the Effective Date, Buyer may request in writing that the Service Providers provide additional transition services necessary for Buyer’s operation of the Business. Following such written request, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the provision of such additional transition services and, to the extent agreed upon by the Parties, Schedule A shall be amended to reference such additional services (the “Additional Services”) and such Additional Services shall be deemed to be Transition Services under this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Shutdowns. If a Service Provider determines that it is necessary or appropriate to temporarily suspend a Transition Service due to scheduled or emergency repairs, maintenance and/or modification, the Service Provider shall give Buyer reasonable prior notice of such shutdown (including information regarding the nature of the shutdown and the projected length of such shutdown), unless it is not practical to give such prior notice because the shut down is due to an emergency.

Section 2.7 Force Majeure; Reduction of Services. Each Service Provider (including with respect to services performed through Third Party Service Providers) shall be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, for any period, and to the extent that such performance is prevented, in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by any act of God, public enemy, war or threats of same, terrorism or threats of same, epidemic, fire, flood, accident, embargoes, severe weather, civil disturbance or unrest, act, order, regulation or request of government or public authorities, court order, labor dispute, lack of or shortage of electrical power, malfunctions of equipment or software programs or other cause beyond its reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), and such non-performance shall not be a breach or default hereunder or grounds for termination hereof. Parent shall give notice to Buyer of any such Force Majeure Event as soon as reasonably practicable, and the respective Service Providers (including with respect to services performed through Third Party Service Providers) and the Buyer will use

4

commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any such Force Majeure Event and its consequences on performance hereunder.

Section 2.8 Fees for Transition Services. The fees to be charged for each Transition Service are set forth on Schedule A and the billing, payment and other terms therefor are set forth on Schedule B. The fees to be charged for each Transition Service may be adjusted from time to time, upon reasonable notice to the Buyer (including appropriate documentation), but only to the extent that there is an adjustment after the date hereof in the costs actually incurred by Parent and/or its Subsidiaries in providing such Transition Service due to changes in the costs charged by a Third Party Service Provider in connection with such Transition Service.

Section 2.9 Disputes. The Parties shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resolve disputes in good faith as promptly as practicable. In the event that Buyer in good faith disputes the accuracy or legitimacy of any portion (the “Disputed Amount”) of an invoice or charge, Buyer shall pay the Disputed Amount when paying such invoice or charge pending resolution of the dispute and will provide written notice of the amount, nature and supporting detail regarding the Disputed Amount to Parent. Promptly following receipt of such written notice, the dispute resolution process set forth below in this Section 2.9 shall become applicable and the Parties shall discuss the resolution of such Disputed Amount. If a full resolution of the Disputed Amount has not occurred within 30 days of the initial discussion described in the foregoing sentence, the Parties shall cooperate to promptly submit for resolution such matter (or the portion remaining in dispute) to an arbitrator mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Neutral Arbitrator”). The Parties shall execute, if requested by the Neutral Arbitrator, an engagement letter reasonably satisfactory to the Neutral Arbitrator. The Parties shall direct the Neutral Arbitrator to render a resolution of such disputed matter within 30 days after its engagement (or such other period agreed upon by the Parties). The resolution of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each of the Parties and shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for all purposes hereunder. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Parent and Buyer. The Neutral Arbitrator shall determine the amount of the Disputed Amount, if any, to be returned to Buyer, which amount shall not exceed the Disputed Amount or be less than zero. If the Neutral Arbitrator determines that Parent is required to return to Buyer any portion of the Disputed Amount, then the Neutral Arbitrator shall award to Buyer (i) the portion of the Disputed Amount determined by the Neutral Arbitrator to be returned to Buyer and (ii) interest, from the date the invoice giving rise to the dispute was paid in full by Buyer, at the Prime Rate on the portion of the Disputed Amount to which Buyer is entitled. Any amount awarded by the Neutral Arbitrator shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the recipient within five Business Days after the date on which the resolution of the Neutral Arbitrator is delivered to the Parties. Each Service Provider will continue performing Transition Services in accordance with this Agreement pending resolution of any dispute hereunder.

Section 2.10 Personnel.

(a) Designation of Personnel. Subject to Section 2.1(b), a Service Provider shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to designate which personnel shall be assigned to perform the Transition Services, and shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to remove and replace any such personnel at any time and/or designate a Third Party Service Provider in accordance with the terms hereof, to perform such Transition Service.

(b) Employees. Subject to Section 2.1(b), nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Service Providers to hire any additional employees or provide any incentives to employees in addition to those in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date or to retain the employment of any particular employee or retain the services of any particular consultant, contractor or agent; provided, however, that in the event that a Service Provider loses employees or independent contractors that it needs to provide the Transition Services, then such Service Provider shall (and, if applicable, shall cause the other Service Providers to) replace such employees or independent contractors to the extent necessary to continue to provide the applicable Transition Services.

Section 2.11 Status of Service Providers. In all matters relating to this Agreement, each Service Provider shall be acting as an independent contractor and not as an agent, representative or joint venture partner of Buyer. The Service Providers shall not be liable for any debts, obligations or liabilities of Buyer.

Section 2.12 Protective Acknowledgements. Buyer acknowledges that the Service Providers are not insurers or guarantors of the Transition Services, are not in the business of providing Transition Services and are providing the Transition Services only as an accommodation to Buyer.

Section 2.13 Buyer Obligations. Buyer shall cooperate with the Service Providers and Third Party Service Providers with respect to the provision of Transition Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall: (a) adhere in all material respects to the policies of the Service Providers or Third Party Service Providers with respect to the protection of proprietary information, to the extent relevant to the Transition Services provided; (b) provide reasonably timely responses to any information requested by the Service Providers or the Third Party Service Providers, to the extent relevant to the Transition Services provided; and (c) provide access to the facilities and assets of Buyer to the applicable Service Provider or Third Party Service Provider, to the extent such access is required for the provision of Transition Services by such Service Provider or Third Party Service Provider. The Service Providers and the Third Party Service Providers shall be entitled to rely on any instructions or other information provided by the Buyer; provided that no such instructions shall expand the obligations of the Service Providers hereunder. The Service Providers shall be excused from their obligation to perform or cause to be performed a Transition Service if and to the extent that (i) such failure to perform or cause to be performed such Transition Service was due to the Buyer’s failure to perform its responsibilities under this Section 2.13 and (ii) the Service Providers use commercially reasonable efforts to perform or cause to be performed such Transition Service notwithstanding the Buyer’s failure, if practicable.

6

Section 2.14 Transition Service Managers. The Buyer Services Manager and the Parent Services Manager (each as defined below) shall liaise with each other, and seek to resolve in good faith all issues related to the scope, sufficiency and/or performance of Transition Services and any other issues arising in connection with this Agreement. The Parent Services Manager and the Buyer Services Manager shall meet periodically (in person or by telephone), as reasonable, for purposes of establishing procedures, reviewing performance and forecasting needs.

(a) Buyer shall appoint an individual, by giving written notice thereof to Parent within three Business Days following the date hereof, to act as its initial services manager (the “Buyer Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for, among other things, coordinating and managing the receipt of the Transition Services. Buyer shall promptly notify Parent of the appointment of a new Buyer Services Manager.

(b) Parent shall appoint an individual, by giving written notice thereof to Buyer within three Business Days following the date hereof, to act as its initial services manager (the “Parent Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for, among other things, coordinating and managing the delivery of the Transition Services. The Parent Services Manager will work with the personnel of Parent, as well as with any Third Party Service Providers providing Transition Services, to address issues and matters raised by the Buyer Services Manager relating to this Agreement. Parent shall promptly notify Buyer of the appointment of a new Parent Services Manager.

Section 2.15 Ownership of Intellectual Property.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or in any other Ancillary Document, Parent, Buyer, any Third Party Service Provider and the respective Affiliates of each such entity shall retain all right, title and interest in and to their respective Intellectual Property and any and all improvements, modifications and derivative works thereof. No license or right, express or implied, is granted under this Agreement by Parent, Buyer, any Third Party Service Provider or the respective Affiliates of each such entity in or to their respective Intellectual Property, except that, solely to the extent required for the provision or receipt of the Transition Services in accordance with this Agreement, each of Parent and Buyer, for itself and on behalf of its respective Affiliates, hereby grants to the other Party (and the respective Affiliates thereof) a non-exclusive, revocable license during the term of this Agreement to such Intellectual Property rights that are provided by the granting Party to the other Party (“Services Licensee”) in connection with this Agreement, but only to the extent and for the duration necessary for the Services Licensee to provide or receive the applicable Transition Service as permitted by this Agreement. The foregoing license shall terminate immediately upon the expiration of the applicable Transition Service and is subject to any licenses granted by others with respect to Intellectual Property rights not owned by Parent, Buyer or the respective Affiliates of such entity.

(b) Subject to the limited license granted in Section 2.15(a), in the event that any Intellectual Property rights are created solely by a Service Provider in the performance of the Transition Services, all right, title and interest throughout the world in

7

and to all such Intellectual Property rights shall vest solely in such Service Provider unconditionally and immediately upon such Intellectual Property rights having been developed, written or produced, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or in any other Ancillary Document, no Party (nor any of its Affiliates) shall have any rights or licenses with respect to any Intellectual Property (including software), hardware or facility of the other Party or any Third Party Service Provider. All rights and licenses not expressly granted in the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or in any other Ancillary Document are expressly reserved by the relevant Party. Each Party shall from time to time execute any documents and take any other actions reasonably requested by the other Party to effectuate the intent of this Section 2.15.

Section 2.16 Systems Security.

(a) If either Party or its personnel will be given access to any of the other Party’s computer systems or software (“Systems”) in connection with the performance of the Transition Services, the accessing Party or its personnel, as the case may be, shall comply with all of such other Party’s system security policies, procedures and requirements (as amended from time to time, the “Security Regulations”), and shall not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any security or audit measures employed by such other Party.

(b) Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that only those of its personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of the other Party gain such access, and to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of information contained therein, including notifying its personnel regarding the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and establishing appropriate policies designed to effectively enforce such restrictions.

(c) If, at any time, either Party determines that the other Party or its personnel has sought to circumvent, or has circumvented, its Security Regulations, that any unauthorized personnel of the other Party has accessed its Systems or that the other Party or any of its personnel has engaged in activities that may lead to the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of data, information or software, such Party shall immediately terminate any such personnel’s access to the Systems and immediately notify the other Party.

(d) Each Party and its personnel shall access and use only those Systems, and only such data and information with such Systems, to which it has been granted the right to access and use. Any Party shall have the right to deny the personnel of the other Party access to such Party’s Systems, after prior written notice, in the event such Party reasonably believes that such personnel pose a security concern.

Section 2.17 Books and Records. Except as may be prohibited by applicable Law or by the terms of any Contract (including any confidentiality agreement), duly authorized representatives of (a) Buyer shall, upon reasonable written notice to Parent, have reasonable

8

access during normal business hours to examine, inspect and copy the books and records held by Parent (as of immediately after the Effective Date) relating to the Transition Services to the extent such access is reasonably required in connection with Buyer’s financial, accounting or tax reporting purposes, and (b) Parent shall, upon reasonable written notice to Buyer, have reasonable access during normal business hours to examine, inspect and copy the books and records held by Buyer (as of immediately after the Effective Date) relating to the Transition Services to the extent such access is reasonably required in connection with Parent’s financial, accounting or tax reporting purposes; provided that, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, no such access will be provided to the extent that disclosing any such information would reasonably be expected to constitute a waiver of attorney client, work product or other legal privilege with respect thereto. The access provided pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be subject to such additional confidentiality provisions as the disclosing Party may reasonably deem necessary.

ARTICLE 3
CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVACY

Section 3.1 Confidentiality.

     Seller further agrees to execute and deliver to Purchaser such further instruments of transfer and assignment as Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request in order to transfer and assign to, and vest in, Purchaser all of the rights, privileges and properties hereby transferred and assigned or intended to be transferred and assigned hereunder.

     This Bill of Sale and the covenants and agreements contained in this Bill of Sale shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns and shall bind Seller and its successors and permitted assigns.

     Nothing in this instrument, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person other than Purchaser any remedy or claim under or by reason of this instrument or any agreements, terms, covenants or conditions hereof, and all the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions in this instrument contained shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns.
