6.Non-Transferable Contracts and Permits. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Acquired Contract, Acquired Personal Property Lease, Acquired Real Property Lease or any of the Permits and/or Licenses, or any claim or right or any benefit or obligation thereunder or resulting therefrom if an assignment or transfer thereof is prohibited or, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or violation thereof or is otherwise prohibited and such consent has not been obtained. If such consent is required and

has not been obtained or if an attempted assignment or transfer is ineffective or prohibited, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in any reasonable arrangement requested and approved by Purchaser, to provide for Purchaser the benefits under any such Acquired Contract, Acquired Personal Property Lease, Acquired Real Property Lease or any such Permit or License. In connection with any such arrangement, (i) Purchaser shall bear the expense of structuring and implementing the arrangement and (ii) Purchaser shall honor Seller’s commitments under any such Acquired Contract, Acquired Personal Property Lease, Acquired Real Property Lease, Permit or License to the extent arising following the close of business on the Closing Date in connection with Purchaser’s use of any such Acquired Contract, Acquired Personal Property Lease, Acquired Real Property Lease, License or Permit that is the subject of such arrangement (or assets or rights relating thereto) but not any damages related to a pre-Closing Date breach of such Acquired Contract, Acquired Personal Property Lease, Acquired Real Property Lease or any such Permit or License by Seller or any Affiliates. The above does not apply to the Utica Assets or the Ford Motor Company Assets, which shall be transferred by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 2.1(a).

7.Purchase Price; Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)Within two (2) Business Days after the mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement (the date of such mutual execution and delivery is sometimes referred to herein as the “Execution Date”), Purchaser shall deposit, via intrabank transfer, into an escrow, pursuant to the terms of a mutually agreed to escrow agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Escrow Agreement”), with The PrivateBank and Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Holder”), an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Deposit”) in immediately available, good funds (funds delivered in this manner are referred to herein as “Good Funds”), pursuant to the joint escrow instructions provided in the Escrow Agreement to be delivered to the Escrow Holder on or before the Execution Date. In turn, the Escrow Holder shall immediately deposit the Deposit into an interest-bearing account as provided in the Escrow Agreement. In no event will the Deposit be an asset of the Sellers or any Affiliate until Closing or as otherwise specifically provided herein, and the Deposit will not be subject to the claims of creditors or other third parties of the Sellers or any Affiliates. The Deposit shall become non-refundable upon the termination of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement by reason of Purchaser’s default of any obligation hereunder (a “Purchaser Default Termination”), it being agreed that Seller shall not have the right to so terminate this Agreement unless Purchaser has failed to cure the applicable default within ten (10) days following its receipt of written notice thereof from Seller. At the Closing, the Deposit shall be credited and applied toward payment of the Purchase Price. In the event the Deposit becomes non-refundable by reason of a Purchaser Default Termination, Escrow Holder shall, as provided in the Escrow Agreement, confirm such default with Purchaser and immediately thereafter disburse the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon to Seller to be retained by Seller for its own account and as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder related to a Purchaser default hereunder and thereafter both Seller and Purchaser shall be relieved of any and all additional obligations and liabilities hereunder and as a result of such default except for obligations related to Confidential Information as provided herein. If the transactions contemplated herein terminate by reason of (A) Seller’s default under this Agreement, it being agreed that Purchaser shall not have the right to so terminate this Agreement unless Seller have failed to cure the applicable default within ten (10) days following their receipt of written notice thereof from Purchaser, or (B) the failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder (including Article VI and Article VIII, the Escrow Holder shall confirm the same with Seller as provided in the Escrow Agreement and immediately thereafter return to Purchaser the Deposit (together with all interest accrued thereon), but less Purchaser’s one-half (1/2) share of the Escrow Holder’s escrow fees and charges.

(b)On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (A) cause the Escrow Holder to deliver the Deposit (together with all accrued interest thereon but less the Working Capital Escrow) to Seller, and (B) subject to the adjustments hereinafter identified in this Section 2.6(b), including the working capital adjustment as hereinafter provided in Section 2.6(c), pay and deliver, in Good Funds, the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller (and/or directly to Sellers’ secured and/or lien creditors to release the liens against the Purchased Assets), which balance amount together with the Deposit identified in (A), above, shall be Fifty-Four- Million

Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($54,400,000) (“Purchase Price”), less the Deposit and less the sum of the following: accrued interest on the Deposit; any charges and prorations for which Sellers or the Real Estate Seller are responsible and/or accountable pursuant to Section 2.7(c); the Working Capital Purchase Price Adjustments identified in Section 2.6(c) below; the Chrysler Equipment Purchase Adjustment identified in Section 2.6(d) below; all amounts deposited into the various escrow(s) at Closing as provided herein; all amounts listed on Section 2.3(g) of the Disclosure Schedule which are being assumed hereunder by Purchaser; and as applicable, the amounts identified on Section 2.6(b) of the Disclosure Schedule related to the JTEKT and related Chrysler business, and/or other customer/business loss from the execution date of the Agreement through Closing.

(ii) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event not more than twenty-one (21) Business Days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a calculation of the actual Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Closing Net Working Capital”), which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in the same manner as by Seller in accordance with its historical practices, and in the same manner, using the same methodologies, reserve criteria, policies, and accompanying conservatism or liberalism, as the computation of the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. To the extent that the Final Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall be paid, from the Working Capital Escrow (as defined below) the amount of such deficiency (“Final Negative Net Working Capital Adjustment”), and the remainder of the Working Capital Escrow paid to Seller. At Closing, to the extent that the Final Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the excess (“Final Positive Net Working Capital Adjustment”), and the entirety of Working Capital Escrow paid to Seller. If the Seller disputes the Final Closing Net Working Capital determined by the Purchaser, then the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement (the “Dispute Notice”) describing with reasonable detail the basis for any such dispute within five (5) Business Days after receiving the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital. If the Seller does not deliver the Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such five (5) Business Day time period, then the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital shall be deemed final and accepted by the Seller. Purchaser and the Seller will use reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute themselves. If such dispute is not finally resolved within seven (7) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, either Purchaser or the Seller may promptly thereafter cause BDO USA, LLP, or another mutually acceptable third party accounting firm (the “Arbitrating Accountant”) to promptly review this Agreement and the disputed items or

amounts in determining the Final Closing Net Working Capital. Within five (5) Business Days after submission to the Arbitrating Accountant for resolution, Purchaser and the Seller shall each indicate in writing their position on each disputed matter and each such party’s determination of the amount of the Final Closing Net Working Capital. The Arbitrating Accountant shall make a written determination on each disputed matter no later than fourteen (14) Business Days after submission to the Arbitrating Accountant for resolution and such determination will be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and the Seller with respect to that disputed matter. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant incurred in the resolution of such dispute shall be borne by the Purchaser and the Seller in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Purchaser and the Seller from the resolution of the dispute, which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Arbitrating Accountant at the time the determination of the Arbitrating Accountant is rendered on the merits. For example, if the Seller challenges the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital by an amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), but the Arbitrating Accountant determines that the Seller has a valid Claim for only Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) (i.e., the Seller prevails as to forty percent (40%) of its Claim), then Purchaser shall bear forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant and the Seller shall bear the other sixty percent (60%) of such fees and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Purchaser and Seller will indemnify and hold each other harmless from the other party’s failure to pay its portion of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant. The maximum differential between the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and the Final Closing Net Working Capital can only be the amount by which the Net Working Capital accounts which make up the Net Working Capital Target have migrated, in the ordinary course of business, from June 1, 2013 through the Closing Date.

(iii) Purchaser will provide the Seller access to materials used in the preparation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital and shall make its financial staff and advisors available to the Seller and its accountants and other representatives and to the Arbitrating Accountant at any reasonable time during [a] the review by the Seller of the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, and [b] the resolution by Purchaser and the Seller and/or the Arbitrating Accountant of any objections thereto.

(iv) At Closing from the proceeds of Closing, Sellers shall permit the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) as a final net working capital escrow (“Working Capital Escrow”) to be maintained with the Escrow Holder and paid out as hereinafter provided. In accordance with Section 2.6(c)(ii), in the event of a Final Negative Net Working Capital Adjustment, Purchaser shall be paid by the Escrow Holder from the remaining Deposit and the Working Capital Escrow, the amount of the difference between the Final Closing Net Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, and the remainder of the Working Capital Escrow, if any, paid to Sellers or if a deficiency after the depletion of the Working Capital Escrow, the Sellers shall pay such deficiency to Purchaser as hereinafter provided in Subsection (v). In the event of a Final Positive Net Working Capital Adjustment, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the excess between the Final Closing Net Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, and the entirety of the remaining Deposit and the Working Capital Escrow shall be paid to Sellers.

(v) The Final Negative Net Working Capital Adjustment or Final Positive Net Working Capital Adjustment, as applicable, shall be paid by the applicable party to the other party hereto, no later than five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.6(c).

(vi) For purposes of tracking and calculating both the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and the Final Closing Net Working Capital hereunder, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(A) Upon execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a roll forward of Seller’s Working Capital at certain dates as follows:

(I) Seller’s Net Working Capital as of May 4, 2013 (first period ending after March 30, 2013 to be delivered upon execution of this Agreement);

(II) Seller’s Net Working Capital as of June 1, 2013 (second period ending after March 30, 2013 to be delivered on or about June 12, 2013); and

(III) Seller’s Net Working Capital subsequent to June 1, 2013 through Closing, to be delivered each Friday thereafter before 3:00 p.m. EST, which roll forward Net Working Capital shall identify Seller’s Net Working Capital through the end of the previous Business Day before each Friday as identified above.

(B) From the date of execution of this Agreement through Closing:

(I) Seller will continue to operate its business in ordinary course from the execution of this Agreement to Closing, and specifically as it relates to its Working Capital (i.e. collecting accounts receivable and paying accounts payable in accordance with the terms in place as of March 30, 2013). Seller further will not extend payment terms to suppliers or attempt to accelerate the collection of receivables from customers ahead of current terms;

(II) Seller will immediately notify Purchaser of any business events or known changes that could significantly impact the Final Closing Net Working Capital or the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. Seller further will immediately notify Purchaser of any potential or known changes in Seller’s Working Capital that are not in the ordinary course of Seller’s business;

(III) Seller agrees to respond immediately to Purchaser inquiries from time-to-time regarding Seller’s Net Working Capital;

(IV) Seller in good faith agrees to manage Seller’s Net Working Capital with the intent of having the Final Closing Net Working Capital be as close to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital as possible; and

(V) Seller agrees not to manage Seller’s Net Working Capital to intentionally and/or knowingly cause the Final Closing Net Working Capital to differ from the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital by more than the Working Capital Escrow.

(d) Chrysler Equipment Purchase Adjustment. The Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the Purchase Price will be adjusted at Closing in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6(d) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(e) Purchase Price Allocation. Not later than ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller, Purchaser’s proposed draft of ITS Form 8594 to be filed with the IRS. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to finalize a mutually agreeable Form 8594 before December 31, 2013. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the allocation of the Purchase Price set forth in such form shall be binding upon the parties for all applicable federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes. Seller and Purchaser covenant (i) to report gain or loss or cost basis, as the case may be, in a manner consistent with such allocation; (ii) not to voluntarily take any position inconsistent therewith in any proceeding relating to such returns; and (iii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to sustain such allocation in any subsequent Tax audit or Tax dispute.

8.Owned Real Property Closing Procedures.

(a) Instruments of Conveyance. The Real Estate Seller hereby agrees to deliver and convey good and marketable title to the Owned Real Property(ies) and related Facility(ies) to Purchaser by good and sufficient general warranty deed(s) (the “Deeds”) and to warrant title to said Owned Real Property(ies) and the related Facility(ies) to be free and clear of all encumbrances, except:

(i) Taxes and assessments which are a lien, but not yet due and payable;

(ii) Such other encumbrances, reservations, restrictions, and exceptions, if any, as are approved by Purchaser in accordance with Subsection (b) hereof and permitted in the policy(ies) of title insurance described hereinafter which do not materially adversely affect the use or value of the Owned Real Property(ies) or Facility(ies) to Purchaser; and

(iii) Zoning ordinances.

(b) Instruments of Title Assurance.

(i) Preliminary Title Reports. Not more than seven (7) days after execution of this Agreement, Purchaser with Seller’s and Real Estate Seller’s cooperation, shall order from First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company” and sometimes the “Escrow Agent”) for each Owned Real Property, a commitment for an ALTA Owner’s Fee Policy of Title Insurance (the “Commitments”), a copy of which shall be provided by Purchaser to Seller upon receipt thereof by Purchaser, for review, including complete, legible copies of all instruments noted as exceptions on Schedule B thereof. Failure of Purchaser to order any title Commitment within such seven (7) day period shall constitute a waiver by Purchaser of any right to obtain a title Commitment as a condition to Closing and of any Title Defects, as defined below. Within seven (7) days after execution of this Agreement and after receipt of each Commitment, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of any liens, encumbrances, restrictions, easements, or conditions shown therein which are objectionable to Purchaser, or which, in the opinion of the Title Company, shall prevent the issuance of the title policy in the form as referenced herein. Said items which are objectionable or are prohibited under the title policy shall be considered “Title Defects” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that Permitted Liens shall not be objectionable by Purchaser and shall not constitute a Title Defect”. Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the right to object and shall be deemed to have accepted the status of title reflected in a particular Commitment if Purchaser fails to object to any matter of title within the said three (3) day period after receipt of such applicable Commitment. If any Title Defect is (i) reflected in a Commitment and not waived by the Purchaser, or (ii) discovered after issuance of a Commitment but prior to fourteen (14) days before the Closing Date, Seller will be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for the Closing, as Seller’s sole discretion, but not more than seven (7) days from the date Seller is notified of the Title Defect, to remove such Title Defect. In the event such Title Defect is not removed within the seven (7) day extension period, Purchaser

shall have the option to declare this Agreement null and void and receive a full refund of all money deposited in escrow or paid to Seller, Escrow Agent or the Escrow Holder, including the Deposit.

(c) Real Property Prorations, Charges and Credits. As part of the Closing, the Purchaser will obtain Owner’s Fee Policies of Title Insurance in such amounts for the applicable Owned Real Property, as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion. With Seller’s and Real Estate Seller’s cooperation, on or before June 21, 2013, such Owner’s Fee Policies shall have eliminated therefrom the title policy’s Schedule B standard printed exceptions for (i) easements not of record, (ii) rights of parties in possession, (iii) unfiled mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, and (iv) taxes and assessments not shown as a lien by public records. The failure to eliminate the above exceptions by June 21, 2013, however, shall not constitute a Material Adverse Effect, and shall not be a Purchaser’s condition to Closing, unless, prior to June 21, 2013, Purchaser notifies Sellers, in writing, of its objection and/or its intent to terminate this Agreement based on such failure.

(i) Charges Against Seller. Seller shall be charged with the following costs to be deducted by the Escrow Agent from funds due Seller: (A) the cost of any conveyance fees and/or real estate transfer taxes and/or stamps required by law to be paid at the time of filing the Deeds; (B) the costs of satisfying any taxes, assessments, liens or encumbrances required to be discharged by this Agreement; (C) the cost of any inspection or certificates required by any public body or authority; (D) the amount of any prorations due Purchaser under this Agreement; and (E) one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee to be paid to the Escrow Agent.

(ii) Charges Against Purchaser. Purchaser shall be charged with the following costs to be deducted by the Escrow Agent from funds due Purchaser, if any, or to be paid by Purchaser prior to transfer of title(s): (A) if performed by Purchaser, the cost of the location surveys or ALTA surveys; (B) the cost of the Owner’s Fee Policy(ies) of Title Insurance and the cost of the Commitments, and any additional cost for a lender’s policy of title insurance, if required; (C) the costs incident to filing the Deeds; (D) one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee to be paid to the Escrow Agent; and (E) the cost of any and all environmental site assessment(s) performed by the Purchaser, if any.

(iii) Other Charges and Prorations. Taxes and assessments, both general and special, and real estate taxes, shall be prorated as of the date of title transfer based upon the last available tax duplicate. Seller shall pay all utility charges to the date of title transfer.

9.Closing.

(a)The Closing shall take place at the offices of Wegman, Hessler & Vanderburg, 6055 Rockside Woods Boulevard, Suite 200, Cleveland, Ohio 44131 or remotely by mail, telecopier, e-mail and/or wire transfer in each case to the extent acceptable to the parties hereto, at 10:00 A.M. on a date that is no later than three (3) Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Articles VI and VII or on such other date, and at such other time and place, as may be agreed by Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, that the date of the Closing shall be automatically extended from time to time for so long as any of the conditions set forth in Articles VI and VII shall not be satisfied or waived, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 8.1.

(a)From the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date or the date this Agreement is terminated, subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, Seller shall give Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives, upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, Facilities, books and records of the Business, and shall make the officers and employees of Seller and its Affiliates available to Purchaser and its representatives as Purchaser and its representatives shall from time to time reasonably request, in each case to the extent that such access and disclosure would not obligate Seller to take any actions that would unreasonably disrupt the normal course of its businesses or violate the terms of any contract to which Seller is bound or any Applicable Law; provided, that all requests for access shall be directed to David Jaeger in writing (the “Designated Contacts”); provided, further, that nothing herein shall require Seller to provide access or to disclose any information to Purchaser if such access or disclosure (i) would cause significant competitive harm to Seller if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated or (ii) would be in violation of Applicable Laws or the provisions of any agreement to which Seller is a party. Other than the Designated Contacts, Purchaser is not authorized to and shall not (and shall cause its employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates to not) contact any officer, director, employee, franchisee, customer, supplier, distributor, lender or other material business relation of Seller prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of a Designated Contact. From and after the date this Agreement is fully executed by and among Purchaser, the Seller and the Real Estate Seller, Purchaser acknowledges that its access to the Facilities, offices, and books and records of the Business by Purchaser, and any communications with Seller or its employees, representatives and agents, shall not, absent actual fraud or other intentional misrepresentations on the part of the Sellers and/or its representatives, be the basis for termination of this Agreement or give rise to any other contingency to Closing, it being understood that Purchaser shall have conducted all the due diligence reasonable and necessary for the negotiation and entry into this Agreement prior to such date.

(b)Purchaser and their representatives shall treat and hold strictly confidential any Confidential Information of the Seller in accordance with Section 5.7.

48.Preservation of Business. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement or with the prior consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Seller shall operate the Business in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past practice, including maintenance procedures; provided, however, that Seller shall be under no obligation to improve or upgrade the condition of the Purchased Assets from their present

condition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall not, other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement or with the prior consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any assets used in the Business, other than the disposition of inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

49.Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable. The “commercially reasonable efforts” of Seller shall not require Seller, its Affiliates or representatives to expend any money to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty hereunder, except as provided herein to obtain any consent required for consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or to provide financing to Purchaser for consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that if Seller, its Affiliates or representatives elect to remedy such breach, and such breach is remedied within seven (7) days after such breach, Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of such representation or warranty, or in violation of any covenant pursuant to Section 5.2, for purposes of determining Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 6.1.

50.Preservation of Records; Post-Closing Access and Cooperation.

(a)For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date or such other period (if longer) required by applicable law, Purchaser shall preserve and retain, all corporate, accounting, legal, auditing, human resources and other books and records in its possession (including any documents relating to any governmental or non-governmental claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations) relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date.

(b)Purchaser shall, after the Closing Date, afford promptly to Seller and its representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, Facilities, books, records, officers and employees of the Business to the extent and for a purpose reasonably requested by Seller.

51.Employees and Benefits.

(a)As of the Closing, Seller shall terminate the employment of all of those Employees identified on Section 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Subject Employees”). Section 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule hereto may be amended from time to time prior to the Closing to (i) delete any individuals who are no longer employed by Seller or (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller, add or remove any other individuals. Purchaser shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and effective as of the Closing Date, extend a written offer of employment as reasonably determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion and subject to Purchaser’s normal and customary interview, employment application, testing and hiring practices and procedures relate thereto, to each of the Subject Employees at a level and with responsibilities that, as determined exclusively by the Purchaser, are substantially commensurate with their employment with Seller and at a wage or salary and other compensation substantially similar to the respective wages or salaries and other compensation specified for such Subject Employees on Section 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that Purchaser shall, in cooperation with the Seller, extend offers to a sufficient number of Subject Employees in each of Seller’s plants in Auburn, Indiana, Pierceton, Indiana and Alma, Michigan to ensure that Seller’s WARN Act obligations are not triggered. Those Subject Employees who accept offers of employment with Purchaser and who work for and become employees of Purchaser after the Closing Date are referred to as “Hired Employees.” Nothing in this section guarantees that Purchaser will offer employment to any Subject Employees or other employees of Seller, including those Subject Employees interviewed, or if such Subject Employees are hired by the Purchaser, guarantees such Hired Employee’s employment with the Purchaser for any period of time except as hereinafter provided in Section 5.5(c) below, or if hired by Purchaser, alters a Hired Employee’s status as an at will employee. No employee or former employee of Seller or of any of its Affiliates including the Subject Employees shall be entitled to any rights under this Section 5.5 or except as specifically provided herein, under any other provision of this Agreement. Purchaser is not and shall not be considered under any circumstances, a successor employer of Seller. Further, except as specifically provided herein, Purchaser shall not be liable for any of Seller’s liabilities or obligations to Seller’s employees including the Subject

Employees or any termination of such Seller’s employees, including but not limited to wages, bonuses, benefits, retirement, commissions or stay on payments. Consistent with past practice, Seller shall continue to employ its employees until the Closing Date except for any such employee who, at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) is terminated for cause (ii) voluntarily resigns, (iii) retires or (iv) dies. Seller shall be responsible for all payments of salary, health care benefits and premiums, severance payments, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation claims and workers’ compensation premiums, wages and benefits to all of its employees or former employees (including the Subject Employees and inactive employees and former employees of Seller, whether contingent, accrued, or otherwise), including those provided under the Seller’s Benefit Plans or any of its other benefit programs and agreements or any other employee plans and/or programs of Seller.

(b)For ninety (90) days following Closing, Purchaser shall provide (i) to each Hired Employee salary or wages, as provided above and (ii) to Hired Employees generally, employee benefits substantially similar, as determined exclusively by Purchaser, in the aggregate, than those provided to Hired Employees immediately prior to the Closing and, in all events, in compliance with all requirements of applicable Law. Upon Closing, the Purchaser agrees that the Hired Employees shall subject to the terms of such Purchaser Benefit Plans, be eligible immediately to commence participation in the employee benefit plans of Purchaser, including the group health plan of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), without regard to any eligibility period or waiting period. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser shall take the following actions: (i) upon the Closing provide all Hired Employees health care coverage substantially similar as reasonably determined by the Purchaser in its sole but reasonable discretion to the coverage currently provided to Employees; (ii) if permitted under Purchaser’s health care plans and provided applicable documentation is received from the Sellers and/or the Hired Employees, provide each Hired Employee with credit under any Purchaser health care plans for any co-payments and deductibles paid by each Hired Employee to any Seller health care plan prior to the Closing for the plan year in which the Closing occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible, co-payment, co-insurance or any other out-of-pocket requirements; and (iii) for all purposes and if permitted under such Purchaser Benefit Plans (other than for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) under all benefit plans and policies applicable to the Hired Employees, including the Purchaser Benefit Plans, and if permitted under Purchaser Benefit Plans, treat all service by the Hired Employees with the Seller before the Closing, as service with Purchaser and its subsidiaries.

(c)After Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all notices, liabilities, costs, payments and expenses arising from any action by Purchaser or the Purchaser’s operation of the Business (including breach of contract, defamation or retaliatory discharge) regarding any Hired Employees hired by Purchaser and related to work for Purchaser including any such liability (i) under any Applicable Law that relates to employees, employee benefit matters or labor matters, or (ii) for dismissal, wrongful termination or constructive dismissal or termination, or severance pay or other termination pay. Except for the employees related to the Clarksville, Tennessee Facility and the actual number of employees related to the wind down of the JTEKT business at the Auburn and Pierceton Facilities (currently estimated by the Sellers as of the execution date hereof to be twenty-four (24) employees at the Auburn Facility and seven (7) employees at the Pierceton Facility, but subject to increase on or prior to Closing, upon agreement between the Sellers and the Purchaser that additional employees have been made redundant due to JTEKT as provided above, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) for which Seller shall maintain full and complete responsibility, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, severance and provide benefits in accordance with the severance schedule set forth on Section 5.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule to each Hired Employee identified by “Position” on Section 5.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule whose employment is terminated by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser without “cause” (within the meaning set forth on Section 5.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule) within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for all of the above arising from any action or inaction by Seller or the Seller’s operation of the Business regarding any of its Employees including the Subject Employees, and all Clarksville, Tennessee Facility employees, the wind

down of the JTEKT business at the Auburn Facility and Pierceton Facility as provided above, or for any resulting obligation, if any, after the ninety (90) day period after the Closing Date.

(d)Purchaser shall take all reasonable action necessary to permit Purchaser’s tax-qualified employee savings plan(s) maintained in the United States to accept rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code).

(e)Except as set forth on Section 5.5(e) of the Disclosure Schedule and as specifically provided herein, Seller shall retain all, and Purchaser shall not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any, liability or responsibility for obligations or liabilities under, with respect to or arising in connection with any of Seller’s Benefit Plans, and Purchaser shall have all, and Seller shall not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any, liability or responsibility for obligations or liabilities under, with respect to or arising in connection with any Purchaser Benefit Plan.

(f)During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the plan year in which the applicable Closing Date occurs, Purchaser shall or shall cause its Affiliates, as the case may be, to (i) maintain health care, limited purpose healthcare spending and dependent care flexible spending accounts established under Section 125 of the Code (the “Purchaser FSA”), (ii) permit the Hired Employees to participate in the Purchaser FSA to the extent coverage under such Purchaser FSA replaces coverage under a corresponding Seller Benefit Plan in which such Hired Employee participated immediately before the replacement (the “Seller FSA”), (iii) provided such amounts are transferred to Purchaser, credit Hired Employees under the Purchaser FSA immediately following the applicable transfer date with amounts available for reimbursement equal to such amounts as were transferred and credited under the Seller FSA with respect to such person immediately prior to the applicable transfer date and (iv) give effect under the Purchaser FSA to any elections made by such Hired Employees with respect to the Seller FSA for the year in which the applicable transfer date occurs. As soon as reasonably practicable following the applicable Closing Date, if the net difference between (x) the aggregate employee contributions under the Seller FSA as of the applicable Closing Date made during the year in which the applicable Closing Date occurs and (y) the aggregate employee reimbursements under the Seller FSA as of the applicable Closing Date made during the year in which the applicable Closing Date occurs, in each case with respect to Hired Employees for the applicable plan year, (the “Assumed FSA Balance”) is (1) a positive number, then Seller shall transfer to Purchaser an amount, in cash, equal to the Assumed FSA Balance or (2) a negative number, then Purchaser shall transfer to Seller an amount, in cash, equal to the positive value of the Assumed FSA Balance. The parties hereto agree to make reasonable, good faith efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 5.5(f) to take into account the complexity of transferring flexible spending accounts.

(g)Purchaser shall be responsible for the provision of group health plan continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA with respect to each Person who is a Hired Employee. Seller shall cause to be provided to all Employees and eligible former employees of Seller who were employed in the Seller’s Clarksville, Tennessee location, Sellers’ other facilities not acquired hereunder, and related to the wind down of the JTEKT business at the Auburn and Pierceton Facilities, as provided in (c) above, sufficient medical, mental health, vision, dental, and other group health plan benefits to satisfy the obligations, if any, of Seller under the continuation of coverage provisions described in Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA and any similar continuation of health coverage provisions under applicable state law. Seller shall further be responsible for providing all required notices under COBRA and similar state laws with respect to all Employees and eligible former employees of Seller who were employed in the Seller’s Clarksville, Tennessee location, Seller’s other facilities not acquired hereunder and related to the wind down of the JTEKT business at the Auburn and Pierceton Facilities, as provided in (c) above. Except as specifically hereinafter identified, Purchaser is not assuming any COBRA obligations or responsibility of Seller regarding any Employee, including any Subject Employees hired by the Purchaser on or after the Closing. At Closing, the parties further agree as follows related to COBRA with respect to each Subject Employee who does not become a Hired Employee of the Purchaser on the Closing Date:

(i) The obligation to provide notice and coverage related to COBRA to each Subject Employee who is not hired by the Purchaser shall remain with the Seller;

(ii) For all employees related to the wind down of the JTEKT business at the Auburn Facility and the Pierceton Facility, as provided in (c) above, and thereafter for the first fifteen (15) former Subject Employees of the Seller not hired by the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Seller shall pay for all health care costs and expenses related to claims made during the COBRA coverage period by such Subject Employees; and

(iii) After accounting for the Subject Employees identified in Subsection (ii) above (i.e. the Auburn and Pierceton employees as provided in (c) above and thereafter the first fifteen (15) former Subject Employees), the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller, net of the premiums received by the Seller from such former Subject Employees, for the final health care costs and expenses incurred by the Seller during the COBRA coverage period related to claims made by such Subject Employees not hired by the Purchaser.

(h)As of Closing, the Seller shall assume and be solely responsible for any accrued and unpaid vacation and holidays to which Seller’s employees are entitled with respect to all periods of service up to and including the Closing Date under vacation and holiday policies and practices of the Seller or its Affiliates.

(i)It is understood and agreed between the parties that all provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to employee benefit plans or employee compensation are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and do not and shall not create any right in any other person, including, but not limited to, any Employee, any Hired Employee, any participant in any benefit or compensation plan or any beneficiary thereof.

(j)In any termination or layoff of any Hired Employee by Purchaser after the Closing, Purchaser will comply fully, if applicable, with the WARN Act and all other applicable foreign, Federal, state and local laws, including those prohibiting discrimination and requiring notice to employees. Purchaser shall not at any time prior to ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in the WARN Act affecting in whole or in part any Facility, site of employment, operating unit or employee of the Business without complying fully with the requirements of the WARN Act. Purchaser will bear the cost of compliance with (or failure to comply with) any such laws after the Closing Date. Seller will bear the cost of compliance with (or failure to comply with) any such laws, including the WARN Act as of the Closing Date and the termination of its Employees hereunder with respect to those Employees and former employees at its Clarksville, Tennessee location Seller’s other facilities not acquired hereunder; and as applicable, if triggered by the release of employees at the Auburn Facility or the Pierceton Facility, as provided in (c) above, related to the wind down of the JTEKT business at the Auburn and Pierceton Facilities and with respect to its Clarksville, Tennessee location, Seller’s other facilities not acquired hereunder, and as applicable, if triggered by the release of employees at the Auburn Facility or the Pierceton Facility, as provided in (c) above, related to the wind down of the JTEKT business at the Auburn and Pierceton Facilities, Seller shall be responsible for any and all liabilities, obligations and notifications relating to or required under the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act (“WARN”) (and/or any applicable plant closing law in the states where the Facilities are located) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and applicable to Seller’s businesses, the Business and its active employees, inactive employees and former employees. Notwithstanding the above, except for Clarksville, Tennessee as provided above or the wind down of the JTEKT business at the Auburn and Pierceton Facilities as provided in (c) above, no plant closing, reduction in operations, permanent or temporary shutdown of a single site of employment or mass lay off by Purchaser (as defined by WARN) (or any applicable state plan closing law)

with respect to the Facilities or the Business acquired hereunder are contemplated by the Purchaser from the date after the Closing Date through the ninetieth (90^th) day after the Closing Date.

(k) Welfare Plans. Seller’s Benefits Plans and other benefit programs and agreements shall be liable for any and all claims for benefits by Seller’s Employees, inactive employees or former employees for covered expenses incurred, or attributable to events that occurred on or prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser’s plans, if any, shall be liable for any and all claims for benefits by former employees of the Seller hired by Purchaser for covered expenses incurred after the hiring of such former employees after the Closing Date and to the extent such expenses are attributable solely to events that occurred after the hiring of such former employees and their employment with the Purchaser after the Closing Date. Without limiting the above, Purchaser is not assuming any liabilities or obligations under any of Seller’s disability plans or welfare plans, the Benefit Plans or any other benefit programs and agreements of Seller, including any verbal promises for post-retirement medical benefits or severance plans.

(l) Non-Qualified Retirement, Deferred Compensation Plans and Severance Plans. Purchaser is not assuming any liabilities or obligations of Seller for any retirement benefits or disability benefits to Seller’s Employees, inactive employees or former employees of Seller, whether or not applicable to the Benefit Plans or any other benefit programs and agreements of Seller.

(m) Vacation, Sick Leave and Paid Time Off (collectively the “PTO Plans”). Purchaser is not assuming any liabilities or obligation under any Seller PTO Plans. Seller’s PTO Plans shall be liable for any and all claims for benefits by Seller’s Employees, inactive employees or former employees for covered expenses incurred or attributable to events that occurred on or prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser’s PTO Plans shall be liable for any and all claims for benefits by Hired Employees hired by Purchaser for covered expenses incurred after the hiring of such former employees after the Closing Date and to the extent such expenses are attributable solely to events that occurred after the hiring of such former employees and their employment with the Purchaser after the Closing Date and further relate to Purchaser’s operation of the Business after the hiring of such former employees after the Closing Date.

(n) Workers’ Compensation. Seller’s workers’ compensation plans and/or programs shall be liable for any and all covered claims for workers’ compensation benefits by Seller’s Employees, inactive employees or former employees of Seller to the extent such claims are for injuries that occurred or diseases that are attributable to events on or prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser’s workers’ compensation plans or programs shall be liable for any and all covered claims for workers’ compensation benefits by former employees of the Seller hired by Purchaser to the extent such claims are for injuries that occurred or diseases which are attributable solely to events after the hiring of such former employees and their employment with the Purchaser after the Closing Date and related to Purchaser’s operation of the Business after the hiring of such former employees after the Closing Date. Section 5.5(n) of the Disclosure Schedule is a list of all Seller’s Employees, inactive employees and former employees of Seller who filed for workers’ compensation benefits which are still active and all persons who have filed applications for workers’ compensation benefits which have not been concluded as of the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a certificate verifying proof of workers’ compensation coverage for its employees both active and inactive, and that all workers’ compensation premiums have been paid as related to the Seller and/or its employees both active and inactive.

52.Confidentiality.

respective officers, directors, employees, agents and/or representatives (in such capacity, the “Receiving Party”) certain secret, confidential or proprietary data, trade secrets, know-how, intellectual property and related information, including, without limitation, operating methods and procedures, marketing, manufacturing, distribution and sales methods and systems, sales figures, pricing policies and price lists and other business information (“Confidential Information”). The Receiving Party shall make no use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except in the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations set forth in this Agreement or the Related Agreements. The Receiving Party (i) shall keep and hold as confidential, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives to keep and hold as confidential, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and (ii) shall not disclose, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives not to disclose, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party shall remain the sole and absolute property of the Disclosing Party, subject to the rights granted in this Agreement or the Related Agreements.

(b)Exceptions. The restrictions set forth in Section 5.6(a) above on the use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall not apply to any information which (i) is already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party (other than Confidential Information which forms a part of the Purchased Assets), as demonstrated by competent proof (other than as a result of prior disclosure under any agreement between the Parties with respect to confidentiality), (ii) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement or the Related Agreements or (iii) is acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party who is not, directly or indirectly, under an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party with respect to same. In addition, nothing in this Section 5.6 shall be interpreted to limit the ability of either party to use or disclose its own Confidential Information in any manner to or any other Person.

(c)Permitted Disclosures. It shall not be a breach of Section 5.6(a) if a Receiving Party discloses Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party (i) pursuant to a binding requirement of Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, (ii) in a judicial, administrative or arbitration proceeding to enforce such party’s rights under this Agreement, or (iii) if Purchaser, Seller or Seller’s Affiliates, including, without limitation, Revstone Industries, LLC, disclose Confidential Information as may be necessary or advisable in seeking the bankruptcy court’s approval (the “Bankruptcy Court”) of this Agreement and related transactions in the Revstone Industries, LLC Bankruptcy Case, Case No. 12-13262, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Case”) as contemplated in Sections 6.4. In such event, the Receiving Party shall (A) provide the Disclosing Party with as much advance written notice as possible of the required disclosure, (B) reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any attempt to prevent or limit the disclosure, and (C) limit disclosure, if any, to the specific purpose at issue.

(d)Confidential Terms. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be considered Confidential Information of each party and shall be treated accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the other may be required to disclose some or all of the information included in this Agreement in order to comply with its obligations under securities laws or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange or market on which the disclosing Party’s or its Affiliate’s stock is traded, and (ii) nothing herein shall limit or preclude Purchaser, Seller or an affiliate from filing this Agreement in the Revstone Industries, LLC (“Revstone”) Bankruptcy Case in connection with the satisfaction of the condition described in Section 6.4 hereof or limit or preclude Seller from disclosing this Agreement or information related hereto with a third party, including, but not limited to the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee in the Bankruptcy Case.

(e)Equitable Remedies. Each party specifically recognizes that any breach by it of this Section 5.6 may cause irreparable injury to the other Parties and that actual damages may be difficult to ascertain, and in any event, may be inadequate. Accordingly (and without limiting the availability of legal or equitable, including injunctive, remedies under any other provisions of this Agreement), each Party agrees that in the event of any such breach, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4, the other Parties shall be entitled

to seek, by way of private litigation in the first instance, injunctive relief and such other legal and equitable remedies as may be available.

Purchaser’s right of access and inspection shall be made in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Business, or otherwise . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser understands that with respect to financial information and legal matters including litigation matters, if requested by Purchaser, Sellers will provide such documents and information to Purchaser’s outside attorneys and accountants (who will be bound by confidentiality agreements) for their review. During the course of Purchaser’s due diligence and review of Sellers, the Business and the Purchased Assets, Purchaser and Purchaser Representatives as applicable, in cooperation with the Seller will be granted access to and meetings with any and all customers, vendors, Employees or other third parties related to the Business, including creditors as reasonably determined by the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date this Agreement is executed by Purchaser, Purchaser acknowledges that its access to information as provided herein, and to the Facilities, offices, and books and records of the Business by Seller, and any communications with Sellers or its employees, representatives and agents, shall not be the basis for termination of this Agreement or give rise to any other contingency to Closing, it being understood that Purchaser shall have conducted all the due diligence reasonable and necessary for the negotiation and entry into this Agreement prior to such date.

5.10 Operations. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Sellers shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make offers of employment to any persons who are employed by Seller as of the date hereof for periods subsequent to Closing, other than those Employees who are not offered or who do not accept offers of post-closing employment from Purchaser; provided, however, that this Section 5.11(a) shall not prohibit Seller from making general, public solicitations for particular positions or job classifications and employing persons who respond thereto:

(b) create, assume or permit to exist any new Lien upon any of the Purchased Assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for Permitted Encumbrances; or

(c) If the restrictions set forth in Sections 5.15(a) and (b) above or any part thereof should, for any reason whatsoever, be declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity or enforceability of the remainder of such restriction shall not thereby be adversely affected. Seller and its Affiliates and related parties agree that the foregoing territorial/market and time limitations are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the Purchaser and the Business and that in the event that any such territorial/market or time limitation is deemed to be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then Seller and its Affiliates and related parties agree and submit to the reduction of either said territorial/market or time limitation or both to such an area, market or period as said court shall deem reasonable. In the event that Seller or its Affiliates or related parties should violate the aforementioned restrictive covenants, then the time limitation thereof shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which such breach or breaches shall have occurred; and in the event Purchaser be required to seek relief from such breach from any court, board of arbitration or other tribunal, then the covenant shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings, including all appeals.

(d) The covenants not to compete and not solicit set forth in Sections 5.15(a) and (b) are made in consideration of Purchaser and Seller undertaking their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement and for no further consideration payable hereunder or otherwise.

(e) Purchaser acknowledges that nothing in this Section 5.15, or this Agreement as a whole, prohibits or limits the Sellers’ and/or its Affiliates’ or officers’ rights or ability to continue to operate their other business enterprises, in the ordinary course and in substantially the same manner they are currently operated, regardless of where such business enterprises are located, provided such other businesses do not directly and materially compete with the Business.

5.16 Injunctive Relief. Seller and its officers, directors, Affiliates and related parties, acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Section 5.15 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Purchaser, and that any violations of any provision of Section 5.15 will result in irreparable injury to Purchaser and that, therefore, Purchaser shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction and to an equitable accounting and payment to Purchaser of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation (including payment to Purchaser of Purchaser’s attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing this Agreement), which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Purchaser may be entitled.

5.17 Update of Schedules. As of the execution date of this Agreement, Sellers will have prepared and delivered certain agreed to Disclosure Schedules, and full and complete copies of Acquired Contracts, Acquired Real Property Leases, Acquired Personal Property Leases, Permits and Licenses to the Purchaser. (“Signing Date Schedules”) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser the additional Disclosure Schedules, including all additional Acquired Contracts, Acquired Real

Property Leases, Acquired Personal Property Leases, Permits and Licenses, not completed and delivered upon execution of this Agreement (collectively, the “Remaining Schedules”) and updated and/or amended Signing Date Schedules, and any supplements or updates thereto.

ARTICLE VIII

Sale Process

8.1 Sale Process.

(a) This Agreement is subject to the consideration by Seller of proposals for any Alternative Transaction. Consistent with Section 5.14, during the Limited Shop Period, Seller shall be permitted, and may cause its representatives to initiate contact with, and solicit or encourage submission of, written proposals or binding agreements by any persons or entities (other than from Purchaser and its Affiliates and representatives) in connection with the direct or indirect sale, transfer or other disposition, in one or more simultaneous transactions, by one or more persons or entities, of all or substantially all of the Purchased Assets, (“Alternative Bid”); provided, however, that any such other Alternative Transaction(s), no matter how classified, shall guarantee and confirm financing of the Purchase Price with no financing contingency therein, provide for the payment of an aggregate purchase price exceeding five percent (5%) of the “Purchase Price” with Purchaser of Fifty-Four Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($54,400,000) after accounting for the purchase price adjustments set forth in Section 2.6, and provide a refundable deposit related thereto of ten percent (10%) of the “Purchase Price” (the “Initial Overbid”). In evaluating whether an Alternative Bid, or an aggregate of Alternative Bids, meets the 5% value threshold, above, to constitute a qualified Initial Overbid, Sellers may, in their sole and absolute discretion, assign a reasonable monetary value to non-monetary provisions or omissions in such Alternative Bid or Alternative Bids. For example, but not by way of limitation, the Sellers may assign reasonable monetary value to an Alternative Bid that does not contain a condition for the Sellers to obtain a final, non-appealable Bankruptcy Order. In the event that during the Limited Shop Period the Sellers receive an Alternative Bid or Alternative Bids that qualify as an Initial Overbid, thereafter, Seller may, in Sellers’ absolute and sole discretion, hold an auction on June 25, 2013 (“Auction”) to entertain additional offers from Purchaser or those parties who submitted Alternative Bids. At the Auction, subsequent bids shall be in increments of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) over and above the Initial Overbid purchase price (the “Subsequent Bids”). At Sellers’ sole and absolute discretion, Sellers shall have the right to terminate the acceptance of Subsequent Bids and declare the party, or the parties with the highest and best bid for the purchase of all or substantially all of the Purchased Assets the successful bidder (“Successful Bidder”). Simultaneously thereafter, Seller shall be permitted to enter into a definitive agreement with the Successful Bidder in accordance with the terms of its bid and which includes a non-refundable deposit as similarly provided herein, equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the final purchase price agreed to by such Successful Bidder. For the avoidance of doubt, an Alternative Transaction shall include any such proposals or offers for any transactions that provides for the sale or sales of all or substantially all of the Purchased Assets to any party or parties other than to Purchaser or its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, consistent with Section 5.14, during the Limited Shop Period, Seller and its representatives shall

be permitted to respond to any inquiries or offers with respect to an Alternative Transaction and perform any and all other acts related thereto, under applicable law, or are appropriate to fulfill Seller’s fiduciary duties, including, without limitation, supplying information relating to the Purchased Assets to prospective purchasers.

(b) Break-Up Fee; Return of Deposit. In consideration of Purchaser’s due diligence, good faith negotiations and entry into this Agreement, and as reimbursement of Purchaser’s expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to a break-up fee of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Break-Up Fee”) as follows:

(i) The Break-Up Fee shall be paid by the Sellers to the Purchaser if an Alternative Transaction is executed and at the time such Alternative Transaction closes (i.e. purchase price funds are wired and/or transferred);

(ii) Purchaser’s right to the Break-Up Fee and the return of the Deposit and any other deposits hereunder shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b). In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to a the Break-Up Fee on account of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to any other Section of this Agreement (other than this Section 8.1(b));

(iii) This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder may be terminated by Sellers or the Purchaser upon the signing of an Alternative Transaction. Upon signing of an Alternative Transaction, Sellers shall cause the Deposit, and any other deposits made by Purchaser hereunder, to be returned to Purchaser within three (3) Business Days.

Promptly after receipt by the party seeking indemnification hereunder (hereinafter the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any (a) Tax audit or proceeding for the assessment of any Tax by any Taxing authority or any other proceeding likely to result in the imposition of a liability or obligation for Taxes or (b) any action or the assertion of any claim, liability or obligation by a Governmental Authority or a third party (whether by legal process or otherwise), against which claim, liability or obligation a party under this Article X (hereinafter the “Indemnitor”) that is, or may be, required under this Agreement to indemnify such Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will, if a claim thereon is to be, or may be, made against the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article X, promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing of the commencement or assertion thereof, including the amount and specific factual and legal basis for such claim, and give the Indemnitor a copy of such claim, process and all legal pleadings and other written evidence thereof. The Indemnitor shall have, in all instances, the right to participate in the defense of such action with counsel of reputable standing. The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense of such action unless such action (a) may result in orders or mandatory injunctions materially impacting the Indemnitee’s on-going operation of the Business or its other businesses, or (b) may result in liabilities which, taken with other then-existing claims under this Article X, would not be fully indemnified hereunder. The Indemnitor shall have twenty (20) days, after receipt of notice of such claim, process, legal proceeding and other written notice, to assume the defense thereof. If the Indemnitor does assume such defense, it will, within such twenty (20) days, so notify the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not assume such defense and so notifies the Indemnitee, or if the Indemnitor is barred from assuming such defense pursuant to this Section 10.5, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume such defense, subject to the participation of the Indemnitor, as provided in this Section 10.5, and the Indemnitee’s fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with such defense will be borne by the Indemnitor. In any case, the Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall cooperate and assist each other in such defense, and shall make available to the other all records, documents, employees and information (written or otherwise) relevant to such defense. Prior to paying any claim against which an Indemnitor is, or may be, obligated under this Agreement to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee must first supply the Indemnitor with a copy of a final court judgment or decree, or evidence of assessment of Taxes or a similar final action by a Taxing authority, holding the Indemnitee liable on such claim or failing such judgment or decree, must first receive the written approval of the terms and conditions of such settlement from the Indemnitor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor’s consent shall not be required for settlements (a) which consist principally of equitable remedies in respect of the Indemnitee or its business, or (b) that result in payments by the Indemnitee which, taken with other then existing claims under this Article X, would not be subject to indemnification hereunder. An Indemnitor or Indemnitee shall have the authority to settle or compromise any claim for which it has assumed or conducted the defense pursuant to this Section 10.5; provided, that an Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise any such claim if such settlement or compromise would result in an order, injunction or other equitable remedy in respect of the Indemnitee, or would otherwise

have a direct effect upon Indemnitee’s continuing operations, or would result in liabilities which, taken together with other existing claims under this Article X, would not be fully indemnified hereunder; in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. An Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee, unless (x) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnitor in connection with the defense of such action or claim, (y) the Indemnitor shall not have assumed the defense, or shall be barred from assuming the defense, of such action or claim pursuant to this Section 10.5, or (z) such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it which are contrary to, or inconsistent with, those available to the Indemnitor, or the Indemnitor and Indemnitee are in conflict, in any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be borne by the Indemnitor, in accordance with the following paragraph.

69.Procedure for Other Claims. In the event that any Indemnitee believes that it is entitled to claim indemnification from an Indemnitor under this Article X and such claim is not subject to Section 10.5, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor of such claim, the amount or estimated amount thereof and the specific factual and legal basis for such claim (which will be described in reasonable detail). The Indemnitor and Indemnitee will proceed, in good faith, to agree on the amount of such indemnification claim. If they are unable to agree on the amount of such indemnification claim within thirty (30) days after such notice, then the indemnification claim will be submitted to arbitration conducted pursuant to the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. The place of such arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware, or such other location mutually agreed in writing by the Seller and Purchaser. The determination of the amount of any indemnification claim pursuant to this Section 10.6 will be final, binding and conclusive, and the Indemnitee, upon final determination of the amount of the indemnification claim, will be paid by the Indemnitor within ten (10) days of such final determination, the full amount, in cash, of such indemnification claim, as finally determined, and will be entitled to apply to any court or authority of competent jurisdiction described in Section 11.12 to enforce such payment. The court costs and reasonable and documented fees and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees, incurred by the Indemnitor and Indemnitee in connection with any such enforcement proceeding shall be borne by the Indemnitor and Indemnitee in inverse proportion to their relative success in such proceeding.

70.Indemnification Limits.

(a)Except for claims or Losses for breaches for Special Representations and Warranties, or covenants, agreements or obligations of Seller or Real Estate Seller which shall start at dollar one ($1.00), Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 with respect to any breach or misrepresentation of any representation or warranty until such time as its respective aggregate right to such indemnification exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (it being agreed that in the event such threshold is reached and exceeded, Seller will only be liable for Losses in excess of such amount). Except for claims or Losses for breaches of the representations and warranties in Section 3.6(a) and Section 3.21, which are not limited, Seller’s obligation to indemnify Purchaser for breaches of the representations and warranties under this Agreement shall not exceed Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000) in the aggregate, which amount shall be the limit of the recourse of Purchaser on account of any such breach of the representations and warranties hereunder. For purposes of clarity, Excluded Liabilities and breaches of covenants, agreements and obligations and the representations and warranties in Section 3.6(a) and Section 3.21, are not subject to any limitations.

(b)Purchaser will not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X with respect to any claim or liability (i) relating to a breach by Seller of a representation or warranty before the Closing Date if Seller supplemented the Disclosure Schedule to provide new information or correct such misrepresentation and Purchaser accepted such supplemental Disclosure Schedule and the Closing hereunder occurs; (ii) relating to any Hired Employee and (a) as the result of such Hired Employee being hired by the Purchaser and thereafter the termination of such employee’s employment with the Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing Date, or (b) any injuries to, or deaths or illnesses of, such Hired Employees occurring after the Closing Date

and while working for the Purchaser, (c) as a result of the employment with Purchaser of any person on and after the Closing Date or (d) any action by Purchaser subsequent to the Closing Date.

(c)From and after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall both maintain or cause to be maintained customary occurrence based product liability, insurance in respect of the Business and the Purchased Assets while owned and operated by such party in accordance with general practices and industry standards.

(d)Any amounts payable under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 or Section 10.5 shall be treated by Purchaser and Seller as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any proceeds received or receivable from insurance policies covering the damage, loss, liability or expense that is the subject to the claim for indemnity, (ii) any proceeds received from third parties, through indemnification, counterclaim, reimbursement arrangement, contract or otherwise in compensation for the subject matter of an indemnification claim by such Indemnitee (such arrangements referenced in clauses (i) through (ii) in this Section 10.7(d), collectively, “Alternative Arrangements”), and (iii) the Tax Advantage to the Indemnitee resulting from, or as a consequence of, the damage, loss, liability or expense that is the subject of the indemnity. Without limiting clause (iii) of the preceding sentence and subject to Section 10.7(e), the taking of a Tax deduction in connection with any such damage, loss, liability or expense that is subject to a claim for indemnification shall be at the discretion of the Indemnitee.

(e)Purchaser shall utilize its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with normal practices and policies and good commercial practice, to mitigate any amounts payable under Section 10.2, including pursuing any and all other rights and remedies to (i) collect any proceeds pursuant to Alternative Arrangements covering the Loss that is the subject to the claim for indemnity and (ii) obtain the Tax Advantage to the Indemnitee resulting from the Loss that is the subject of the indemnity. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by Purchaser with respect to any Losses after Purchaser has received any indemnification payments from Seller, Purchaser shall promptly, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt, realization or recovery of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries, pay such proceeds, benefits or recoveries to Seller. Upon making a payment to Purchaser in respect of any Losses, Seller will, to the extent of such payment, as applicable and provided Purchaser has not earlier received payments from such Alternative Arrangements or third party be subrogated to all rights of Purchaser pursuant to Alternative Arrangements or against any third party in respect of the Losses to which such payment relates. Purchaser shall execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights. Each party hereby waives any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses.

(b) On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (A) cause the Escrow Holder to deliver the Deposit (together with all accrued interest thereon) to Seller, and (B) subject to the adjustments hereinafter identified in this Section 2.6(b), pay and deliver, in Good Funds, the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller (and/or directly to Sellers’ secured and/or lien creditors to release the liens against the Purchased Assets), which balance amount together with the Deposit identified in (A) above, shall be Fifty-Four Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($54,900,000) (“Purchase Price”), less the Deposit and less the sum of the following: accrued interest on the Deposit; the working capital adjustments, as provided in Section 2.6(c); any charges and prorations for which Sellers or the Real Estate Seller are responsible and/or accountable pursuant to Section 2.7(c), excluding however accrued real property taxes for the Facilities in the approximate amount of Five Hundred Seventy-Six Thousand Thirteen and 79/100 Dollars ($576,013.79), which shall be paid by the Sellers and Real Estate Sellers at Closing and thereafter upon verification of such payment reimbursed by the Purchaser to the Seller and Real Estate Seller; the Chrysler Equipment Purchase Adjustment identified in Section 2.6(d) below; all amounts deposited into the various escrow(s) at Closing as provided herein; all amounts listed on Section 2.3(g) of the Disclosure Schedule which are being assumed hereunder by Purchaser; and as applicable, the amounts identified on Section 2.6(b) of the Disclosure Schedule related to the JTEKT and related Chrysler business, and/or other customer/business loss from the execution date of the Agreement through Closing.

2. Section 2.6(c) of the APA is amended and restated to read, in its entirety, as follows:

(i) The Purchase Price assumes that, based on the Seller’s March 31, 2013 balance sheet, the Seller will convey to Purchaser at Closing targeted net working capital of Eleven Million Six Hundred Ninety-Three Thousand Four Hundred Ninety-Eight Dollars ($11,693,498), as calculated on Section 2.6(c) of the Disclosure Schedule (“Net Working Capital Target”). Within seven (7) days of execution of this Amendment, Seller shall calculate, based on the Seller’s May 31, 2013 balance sheet, and in accordance with GAAP consistently applied by Seller in accordance with its historical practices, the estimated Net Working Capital as of May 31, 2013 (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”). To the extent that the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target, the Purchase Price shall be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis on account of the deficiency. Thereafter, at Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall calculate and agree upon the Seller’s actual net working capital (“Final Closing Net Working Capital”), in accordance with GAAP consistently applied by Seller and in accordance with its historical practices. To the extent that the Final Closing Net Working Capital is not greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, there shall be no additional Purchase Price adjustment on account of the deficiency; provided however, to the extent the above referenced decrease in Working Capital is more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), there shall be a dollar for dollar reduction of the Purchase Price but only for the amount in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). To the extent that the Final Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, there shall be no additional Purchase Price adjustment on account of the excess.

(ii) [this subsection is deleted in its entirety]

(iii) Both Purchaser and Sellers shall provide to the other access to all materials used in the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital and shall make their financial staff and advisors available to resolve any disputes as to the calculation Final Closing Net Working Capital.

(iv) [this subsection with respect to the Working Capital Escrow is deleted in its entirety]

(v) [this subsection is deleted in its entirety]

(vi) From the date of this Amendment through Closing:

(A) Seller will continue to operate its Business in ordinary course from the execution of this Agreement to Closing, and specifically as it relates to its Working Capital (i.e. collecting accounts receivable and paying accounts payable in accordance with the terms in place as of March 30, 2013). Seller further will not extend payment terms to suppliers or attempt to accelerate the collection of receivables from customers ahead of current terms;

(B) Seller will immediately notify Purchaser of any business events or known changes that could significantly impact the Final Closing Net Working Capital or the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. Seller further will immediately notify Purchaser of any potential or known changes in Seller’s Working Capital that are not in the ordinary course of Seller’s business;

(C) Seller agrees to allow Purchaser to monitor the status of Seller’s Net Working Capital as of the May 31, 2013 balance sheet through Closing, and to respond immediately to Purchaser inquiries from time-to-time regarding Seller’s Net Working Capital;

(D) Seller in good faith agrees to manage Seller’s Net Working Capital with the intent of having the Final Closing Net Working Capital be as close to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital as possible; and

(E) Seller agrees not to manage Seller’s Net Working Capital to intentionally and/or knowingly cause the Final Closing Net Working Capital to differ negatively from the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital.

3. The foregoing amendments to the APA set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 herein are predicated upon the receipt by Purchaser of the opportunity to accept purchase or work orders for Nexteer Part Nos. 28262919 and 38000591 at the purchase or work order price proffered by Nexteer, and which price permits a reasonable margin to Purchaser.

4. The amendments contained in this Amendment shall not, by their making, constitute any Material Adverse Effect under the APA or otherwise constitute any breach of the APA, any warranty or representation contained in the APA, or of any the Disclosure Schedules to the APA, and shall not give rise to any termination event under Article IX of the APA.

5. To the extent this Amendment deletes or alters any defined terms contained in the APA, or conflicts with any definition of any term contained in the APA, this Amendment shall control.

6. Except as provided in this Amendment, no other term or provision of the APA is amended, modified, altered or waived, and each such provision shall remain in full force and effect.

7. This Amendment, together with the APA as modified by this Amendment, set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto, and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements, understandings and representations among the Parties.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Amendment”) is made this ___ day of July, 2013, by and among Shiloh Die Cast Midwest LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Purchaser”), Contech Castings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”) and Contech Castings Real Estate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Real Estate Seller”) (the “Seller” and the “Real Estate Seller” are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Sellers”). Unless otherwise expressly defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms as in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Purchaser and Sellers are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”.

RECITALS

A.The Parties previously entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 11, 2013, and as thereafter amended by that certain First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 25, 2013 (collectively the “APA”);

B.At the Bankruptcy Court hearing on June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court did not enter the Bankruptcy Order; and

C.Based on the foregoing, and other considerations, the Parties mutually desire to amend the APA in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Amendment.

WHEREFORE, based on the foregoing recitals and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

AMENDMENT

1. Section 5.12 of the APA is amended and restated to read, in its entirety, as follows:

5.12 Governmental Approvals. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser will cooperate to: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, all approvals, authorizations and clearances of any Governmental Authority, including the issuance of the Alternative Bankruptcy Order as set forth in Section 6.4 to consummate the transactions set forth herein; and (b) provide such other information and communications to any Governmental Authority or such authorities that may reasonably request.

2. Section 7.5 of the APA is amended and restated to read, in its entirety, as follows:

7.5 Customer Agreements. Sellers shall have obtained agreements with its customers Chrysler, Ford and Nexteer, satisfactory to Sellers, in their sole discretion, with respect to the sales support of the Sellers ("Customer Agreements") on or before the Bankruptcy Court hearing date with respect to the Alternative Bankruptcy Order. If the Sellers fail to obtain the Customer Agreements on or before the Bankruptcy Court hearing date, then Sellers have the option to, in writing, either (a) waive this condition to Closing, or (b) terminate this Agreement, at which time the Deposit shall be fully refunded to Purchaser.

3. Section 6.4 of the APA is amended and restated to read, in its entirety, as follows:

6.4 Court Approval/Waiver. On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court in the Bankruptcy Case did not rule upon or enter an order in substantially the same form and substance as set forth in the motion and related order attached hereto as Exhibit 6.4, and as requested by Sellers and Sellers’ parent Revstone (the “Bankruptcy Order”). As a result of the failure to obtain the Bankruptcy Order on June 26,

2013 as provided above, the Sellers and the Purchaser agree as follows. Sellers and Revstone shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts on or before July 18, 2013 to obtain either a comparable or a modified and/or reduced Alternative Bankruptcy Order as hereinafter defined, and as mutually agreed to by the Parties as hereinafter provided, and which Alternative Bankruptcy Order shall upon agreement, be attached to this Amendment as Revised Exhibit 6.4 (the “Alternative Bankruptcy Order”); provided, however, that the issuance of a final, non-appealable Alternative Bankruptcy Order shall not be a condition to Closing hereunder. Upon agreement to the Alternative Bankruptcy Order, the Parties shall also agree upon the amount of the increase in the General Escrow as provided in Section 6.14, below, which increase shall be at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), for a total of One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000). If the Bankruptcy Court, whether based on a decision on the merits or otherwise, rules against entry of the Alternative Bankruptcy Order, abstains from entry of the Alternative Bankruptcy Order, or expressly disapproves of the relief requested in the Alternative Bankruptcy Order, then the General Escrow, at Closing, shall be increased to a total of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) as provided in Section 6.14 below. If the Bankruptcy Court, on or before July 18, 2013, issues the Alternative Bankruptcy Order, but changes the Alternative Bankruptcy Order from the form and substance of the Alternative Bankruptcy Order attached as Revised Exhibit 6.4 such that it is materially less protective as to adversely effect or be reasonably likely to adversely effect Purchaser, as reasonably and objectively determined by the Purchaser and Seller, then the General Escrow shall be increased by One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as provided in Section 6.14 below; provided, however, under no circumstances shall such increase cause the General Escrow to exceed Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000). If there is a reasonable, good faith disagreement between Purchaser and Seller as to whether the entered Alternative Bankruptcy Order is “materially less protective as to adversely effect or be reasonably likely to adversely effect Purchaser” (the “Materiality Dispute”), then the additional One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) shall be placed into the General Escrow, which sum may not be used or otherwise disbursed pending the resolution of the Materiality Dispute either by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or the mutual written consent of the Parties.

4. Section 6.14 of the APA is amended and restated to read, in its entirety, as follows:

6.14 General Escrow. Subject to Section 6.4, above, if applicable, the Sellers and the Purchaser further agree to escrow on the Closing Date from the proceeds, up to an additional Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000)(“Additional Escrow Funds”), for a total General Escrow of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), to be utilized by the Purchaser after the Closing for the satisfaction of the obligations and/or liabilities of the Sellers under this Agreement (the “General Escrow”). Except as hereinafter provided, claims against the General Escrow may only be made by Purchaser after which time as there has accrued or been asserted against or by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, obligations and/or liabilities and/or Losses aggregating an amount exceeding Five Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($560,000) (the “General Escrow Threshold Amount”). Except as hereinafter provided, in calculating the General Escrow Threshold Amount, only individual claims and/or Losses in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Minimum Escrow Claim Amount”) may be aggregated to meet the General Escrow Threshold Amount; and after meeting the General Escrow Threshold Amount, claims and/or Losses against the General Escrow shall revert back to and start at Dollar One ($1) for all claims and/or Losses and the General Escrow shall be available for such purposes. Other than amounts and time periods as provided in this Section 6.14, such General Escrow shall generally be consistent with the terms and conditions of the Deposit escrow as identified in Section 2.6(a). Notwithstanding the above, the parties agree that there shall be no General Escrow Threshold Amount or Minimum Escrow Claim Amount for any claims, including claims for indemnification, or Losses incurred (including defense costs and expenses), by or against or naming the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates attributable to, related to or resulting from any suits or actions taken by the Unsecured Creditors Committee in the Bankruptcy Case (the “UCC”), Boston Finance Group, LLC (“BFG”) or any other third party who files an objection to the Alternative Bankruptcy Order (the “Concerned Creditors Claims”) and Purchaser

shall be reimbursed from the General Escrow for all Concerned Creditors Claims on a Dollar One ($1.00) basis. For purposes of clarity, the Additional Escrow Funds shall be utilized solely to satisfy Concerned Creditor Claims while the remaining General Escrow may be utilized to satisfy any indemnification claims by the Purchaser. The term of the General Escrow shall be twenty-four (24) months subsequent to Closing (the “General Escrow Period”), subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. If at the end of the first twelve (12) months of the General Escrow Period, no individual claim or Loss against or by the Purchaser has been made equal to or greater than the Minimum Claim Amount and there are no Concerned Creditors Claims, then fifty percent (50%) of the balance remaining in the General Escrow shall be released to Sellers; and if at the end of the General Escrow Period there are any funds remaining in the General Escrow, and no claim or Loss against or by Purchaser has been made equal to or greater than the Minimum Claim Amount and there are no Concerned Creditor Claims, such General Escrow shall be released to Sellers. Pursuant to Section 6.4 of this Agreement, as provided in this Amendment, the Parties agree that if the Bankruptcy Court, based upon a decision on the merits, rules against entry of the Alternative Bankruptcy Order, expressly disapproves of the relief requested in the Alternative Bankruptcy Order, or abstains from ruling on the entry of the Alternative Bankruptcy Order, the Parties shall proceed to Closing subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the General Escrow shall be increased to a total of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). If, pursuant to Section 6.4, the Bankruptcy Court enters an Alternative Bankruptcy Order, but changes the Alternative Bankruptcy Order from the form and substance agreed to in Revised Exhibit 6.4 such that it is materially less protective so as to adversely effect or be reasonably likely to adversely effect Purchaser, as reasonably and objectively determined by the Purchaser and Seller, the Parties shall proceed to Closing subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and this General Escrow shall only be increased to a total of no more than Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000).

5. Section 6.16 of the APA is deleted in its entirety.

6. Section 9.1(g) of the APA is deleted in its entirety.

7. The amendments contained in this Amendment shall not, by their making, constitute any Material Adverse Effect under the APA or otherwise constitute any breach of the APA, any warranty or representation contained in the APA, or of any the Disclosure Schedules to the APA, and shall not give rise to any termination event under Article IX of the APA.

8. To the extent this Amendment deletes or alters any defined terms contained in the APA, or conflicts with any definition of any term contained in the APA, this Amendment shall control.

9. Except as provided in this Amendment, no other term or provision of the APA is amended, modified, altered or waived, and each such provision shall remain in full force and effect.

10. This Amendment, together with the APA as modified by this Amendment, set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto, and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements, understandings and representations among the Parties.
