(a) Structure. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Indiana Business Corporation Law (“IBCL”), at the Effective Time: (i) Newco shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Newco shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger; (ii) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; and (iii) the Bylaws of Newco, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the Merger will have all the effects set forth in Section 23-1-40-6 of the IBCL.

(b) Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective (the “Effective Time”) upon the filing of the Articles of Merger in the form of Exhibit A (the “Merger Certificate”), duly executed and acknowledged by the Company, with the Secretary of State of Indiana pursuant to the IBCL, as such filing is contemplated by Section 6.04.

(c) Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors and officers of Newco serving in those positions immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be duly elected to become the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal.

(d) Treatment of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any Person, (i) each share of the capital stock of Newco issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger shall be converted into one share of the Surviving Corporation, and (ii) each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such share of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Common Stock, except the right to receive the amount, if any, payable in respect of such Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01(e).

(e) Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, and as a result of the Merger, each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.01(g) and the Appraisal Shares), shall be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Merger Consideration (less the Option Payment), divided by (y) the aggregate number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Treatment of Company Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time each Company Option shall be subject to surrender and cancellation and shall be converted into the right to receive a cash payment in an amount as set forth in Section 5.06 hereof, subject to the other provisions of this Article II.

(g) Treasury Shares. Each share of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately before the Effective Time (including shares that would be issuable upon exercise of outstanding Company Options) shall be canceled and extinguished, and nothing shall be issued or paid in respect thereof.

(h) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01, neither the Shareholders Representative, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation nor any other party to this Agreement shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any certificate representing Common Shares that is to be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration has not been surrendered by the date on which such property would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Authority, any such property, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall become the property of Buyer free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) Tax Withholding. The Paying Agent, its designee, the Shareholders Representative, Buyer, Newco, the Company or the Surviving Corporation (as appropriate) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Closing Common Shareholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid out of the Escrow Account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement), or to any holder of a Company Option, such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall, to the extent remitted to the appropriate Authority, be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Closing Common Shareholder or holder of a Company Option in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(j) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the provisions of Chapter 44 of the IBCL are or prior to the Effective Time may become applicable to the Merger, then any share of Common Stock that, as of the Effective Time, is or may carry appraisal rights under the IBCL (“Appraisal Share”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive its Pro Rata share of the Merger Consideration, but rather shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and the holder or holders of any Appraisal Share shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders under Chapter 44 of the IBCL; provided, however, that if the status of any such Appraisal Share as a share carrying appraisal rights shall not be perfected, or if any such Appraisal Share shall lose its status as a share carrying appraisal rights, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the time of the failure to perfect such status, or the loss of such status, such Appraisal Share shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive the consideration set forth in Section 2.01(e).

(k) Restructuring. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any exhibit attached hereto, in the event that (i) Buyer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that there is a risk that Buyer will not obtain the Tax benefits from the Election or (ii) the Company is unable to deliver to Buyer Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 and State Elections in each case properly executed by the Company, each Shareholder and each other Person who is treated as a shareholder of the Company pursuant to Code section 1361(c)(2)(B) at the Effective Time (with respect to such Persons who are treated as shareholders of the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I) no later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and the Shareholders Representative shall have the authority hereunder to take any and all actions necessary to amend this Agreement, without any further action by or consent of the Company’s Board of Directors or Shareholders, to restructure the acquisition of the Company contemplated by this Agreement in such a manner as Buyer determines, provided such restructuring shall not result in an adverse economic consequence to the Shareholders in comparison to the consequences that would result from the Merger.

Section 2.03. Surrender of Certificates. The applicable Merger Consideration shall be payable, in each case, without interest, only in respect of Company Securities the certificates for which have been surrendered to Buyer; provided, however that if any stock certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such stock certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, and an undertaking to indemnify Buyer and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such stock certificate, the Merger Consideration shall be payable in respect of the Company Securities represented by such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate.

Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced as set forth in Section 12.05(b) of this Agreement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm (the “Accounting Firm Fees”), shall be borne by Buyer (or, at its election, the Surviving Corporation) and the Shareholders Representative in inverse proportion to the amounts of disputed items as to which the Accounting Firm decides in favor of such party, provided that the portion of the Accounting Firm Fees borne by the Shareholders Representative shall be paid from the Reserve Account.

(a) any inaccuracy in any of the representations or breach of any of the warranties contained in Article III, or in any certificates or schedules delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification contained therein;

(b) any breach of, or failure to perform, any agreement or covenant of the Company or the Shareholders Representative contained in this Agreement; or

(c) without being limited by subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 9.01 or by Section 9.08 (and without regard to the fact that any one or more of the items referred to in this subsection (c) may be disclosed on the Disclosure Schedules or in any documents included or referred to therein or may be otherwise known to the Buyer at the date of this Agreement or on the Closing Date), any: (i) claim by an applicable Authority, which claim is not the result of a voluntary action by Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party designed or intended to produce a claim from the applicable Authority, of non-compliance with Environmental Laws by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the respective properties owned, leased or operated

by the Company or its Subsidiaries at any time prior to Closing for damages as a result thereof; (ii) Liabilities relating to conditions existing as of the Closing Date incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party, as required by an applicable Authority, which Liabilities are not the result of a voluntary action by Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party designed or intended to produce such Liabilities, to bring the assets, properties or business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries into compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws as in effect as of the Closing; (iii) actions Buyer, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to either (A) cause all applicable Authorities to (1) discharge or release any and all obligations to perform RCRA Corrective Action at the U.S. Environmental Action Sites; or (2) grant or acknowledge in writing RCRA Corrective Action completion or inapplicability, or (B) perform RCRA Corrective Action and/or comparable voluntary remediation at the U.S. Environmental Action Sites, including whatever soil and/or groundwater investigations, removal actions, corrective actions, corrective measures or other work that is required by an applicable Authority in connection therewith, in each case, to the extent such RCRA Corrective Action closure or inapplicability shall not have been granted or acknowledged in writing by the applicable Authorities prior to the Closing; and (iv) Environmental Claims with respect to the Dutch Environmental Action Site.

Section 9.02. Method of Asserting Claims.

(a) Third Party Claims.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.04, in the event that any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties is made a defendant in or party to any action or proceeding, judicial or administrative, instituted by any third party that subjects the Buyer Indemnified Party to or could result in the Buyer Indemnified Party suffering any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnity hereunder (any such third party action or proceeding being referred to as a “Third Party Claim”), the Buyer Indemnified Party shall give the Shareholders Representative prompt notice thereof. The failure to give such notice shall not affect the Buyer Indemnified Party’s ability to seek reimbursement except to the extent such failure has materially and adversely affected the ability of the Shareholders Representative to defend successfully such Third Party Claim. The Shareholders Representative shall be entitled to contest and defend such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Shareholders Representative (A) consults with the Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to the handling of such Third Party Claim, (B) diligently contests and defends such Third Party Claim and (C) unconditionally acknowledges in writing that such Third Party Claim constitutes Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Party for which such Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article IX. Notice of the intention to contest and defend the Third Party Claim shall be given by the Shareholders Representative to the Buyer Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Buyer Indemnified Party gives notice to the Shareholders Representative of such Third Party Claim (but, in all events, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date that an answer to such Third Party Claim is due to be filed). Such contest and defense shall be conducted by reputable attorneys engaged by the Shareholders Representative who are reasonably acceptable to the Buyer Indemnified Party. The Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled at any time, at its own cost and expense (which cost and expense shall not constitute Losses unless such cost and expense is incurred at the request of the Shareholders Representative or the Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the

Shareholders Representative is not adequately representing or, because of a conflict of interest, may not adequately represent, the interests of the Buyer Indemnified Party), to participate in such contest and defense and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing. If the Buyer Indemnified Party elects to participate in such defense, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Shareholders Representative in the conduct of such defense. Neither the Buyer Indemnified Party nor the Shareholders Representative may concede, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Shareholders Representative fails or is not entitled to contest and defend a Third Party Claim, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to contest, defend and settle such Third Party Claim and pursue its indemnification rights hereunder and whatever other legal remedies may be available to enforce its rights under this Article IX at the cost and expense of the Shareholders Representative.

(ii) Certain Claims. If (A) a Third Party Claim relates primarily to a criminal proceeding, action or indictment, (B) the Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to a Third Party Claim or other claim giving rise to a Third Party Claim is likely and such adverse determination would materially and adversely affect the Buyer Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects, (C) a Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Buyer Indemnified Party, or (D) the Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the Shareholders Representative cannot adequately represent the interests of the Buyer Indemnified Party because of a conflict of interest, then in any such case the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to defend and settle such Third Party Claim (with the Shareholders Representative being entitled, at its cost and expense, to consult with respect to such defense and, if Shareholders Representative has provided the acknowledgment described in Section 9.02(a)(i)(C) above, any settlement thereof being subject to consent of the Shareholders Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and to pursue its indemnification rights hereunder and whatever other legal remedies may be available to enforce its rights under this Article IX. If the Buyer Indemnified Party elects to assume and control the defense of such a Third Party Claim, it will provide notice thereof to the Shareholders Representative within thirty (30) days after the Buyer Indemnified Party has obtained notice of such Third Party Claim.

(iii) Settlement. If there shall be a settlement to which the Shareholders Representative consents or a final judgment for the plaintiff in any Third Party Claim, the defense of which the Shareholders Representative has elected to assume, the Buyer Indemnified Party will be indemnified from the General Escrow Amount with respect to such settlement or judgment.

(b) Direct Claims. Subject to the limitations and provisions in Section 9.04, Section 9.07 and Section 9.08, in the event any Buyer Indemnified Party should have a claim for Losses hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim (“Direct Claim”) including, without limitation, an Environmental Claim under clause (i) of the definition thereof, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice of such Direct Claim with reasonable promptness

to the Shareholders Representative. If the Shareholders Representative notifies the Buyer Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the Direct Claim described in such notice or fails to notify the Buyer Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice by the Buyer Indemnified Party, the Losses in the amount specified in the Buyer Indemnified Party’s notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability as to which indemnification shall be paid from the General Escrow Amount, and the Shareholders Representative shall authorize payment from the General Escrow Amount in the amount of such Losses to the Buyer Indemnified Party on demand in accordance with the terms hereof. If the Shareholders Representative gives notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party that it disputes the Direct Claim within such thirty (30) day period, the Buyer Indemnified Party may pursue its indemnification rights hereunder and whatever other legal remedies may be available to enforce its rights under this Article IX.

Section 9.03. Adjustments. Any indemnification payments paid under this Article IX will be considered an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all Tax and financial reporting purposes, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 9.04. Limitations. The rights to indemnification under this Article IX shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Any claim for indemnification under this Article IX shall be made by giving notice to the Shareholders Representative. Any such notice (i) with respect to claims under Section 9.01(a) (other than for breaches of Section 3.17) or Section 9.01(b) must be given on or prior to December 27, 2012, and (ii) with respect to claims under Section 9.01(c) and for breaches of Section 3.17 brought under Section 9.01(a) must be given on or prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) Any claim for indemnification under this Article IX given after the abovementioned dates or time periods will have no effect.

(c) No request to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 9.01 may be made until the sum of the Losses as to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.01 of this Agreement exceed Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000) (the “Basket”); provided, that the Basket with respect to an Excluded Liability of the type referred to in clause (b) of Section 9.08 shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), at which point recourse may be made to the General Escrow Amount or the Environmental Escrow Amount, as applicable, for all Losses above the Basket and only if such Loss individually exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).

(d) The aggregate amount of Losses for which indemnification may be made to any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to this Agreement shall not exceed Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Cap”). Except as provided in Section 9.08, (i) the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.01(a) and Section 9.01(b) of this Agreement (other than for breaches of Section 3.17 as to which recourse may only be made to the Environmental Escrow Amount) shall not exceed the General Escrow Amount and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.01(c) of this Agreement and for breaches of Section 3.17 brought under Section 9.01(a) shall not exceed the Environmental Escrow Amount.

Section 9.05. Payments.

(a) Any payment pursuant to a claim for indemnification under this Article IX shall be made out of the General Escrow Amount or the Environmental Escrow Amount, as the case may be, not later than ten (10) days after receipt by the Shareholders Representative of written notice from the Buyer Indemnified Party stating the amount of the claim, unless the claim is subject to defense as provided in Section 9.02 above, in which case such payment shall be made not later than five (5) days after the amount of the claim is finally determined by written agreement between the Shareholders Representative and the Buyer Indemnified Party or a nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed from the General Escrow Amount or the Environmental Escrow Amount, as the case may be, for any and all costs or expenses of any nature or kind whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in seeking to collect any such Losses to which it is determined that it is entitled to indemnification.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.05(a), the Shareholders Representative, on behalf of the Closing Common Shareholders, shall pay to Buyer (or, at the instruction of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, any Buyer Indemnified Party or any of their respective Affiliates) out of the Reserve Amount (to the extent thereof and then such Taxes shall be paid by, and shall be the several responsibility of, the Shareholders (based on each Shareholder’s Pro Rata share)) the amount of any Taxes shown as due on a Tax Return required to be filed by Buyer pursuant to Section 10.01 for a Straddle Period or, in the case of Taxes for a Straddle Period for which a Tax Return is not required to be filed, a copy of a notice showing such Taxes as due (to the extent attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, as determined pursuant to Section 10.05, but only to the extent not taken into account in computing the Closing Date Net Working Capital) or shown as due on a Tax Return relating to Transfer Taxes (to the extent the liability of the Closing Common Shareholders pursuant to Section 10.03, but only to the extent not taken into account in computing the Closing Date Net Working Capital), in each case no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt from Buyer of a copy of a Tax Return together with a statement in reasonable detail showing the computation of the amount to be paid by the Shareholders Representative (such statement shall not be delivered prior to the final determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and shall show the Closing Date Net Working Capital amount taken into account in the computation) or, if later, after the resolution of any issues related to such statement (provided, that if the issues relating to such statement remain unresolved as of one (1) Business Day prior to the due date for paying such Taxes, upon the written request by Buyer the Shareholders Representative shall pay to Buyer an amount of Taxes reasonably and in good faith claimed as owing by Buyer with respect to such statement, and upon the resolution of such issues a payment shall be made by Buyer or the Shareholders Representative to the other, as applicable, such that taking into account such amounts paid by Shareholders Representative the net amount received by Buyer in respect of such statement is the amount (if any) finally determined to be owing); provided that no amount shall be owing by the Shareholders Representative with respect to any such Tax Return unless such Tax Return has been prepared in a manner consistent with Applicable Law and the provisions of this Agreement, and provided to Shareholders Representative for review and

approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date for timely filing such Tax Return. For purposes of this Section 9.05(b), if in the case of any Tax Return the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date or the amount of Transfer Taxes that are the liability of the Closing Common Shareholders are, in any such case, less than the amount taken into account in computing the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the amount by which it is less shall be credited against (and reduce) any amounts otherwise payable by the Shareholders Representative under this Section 9.05(b).

(c) To the extent any payments are made to a Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with Losses incurred under Section 9.01(c) hereof as a result of a Third Party Claim, the Shareholders Representative shall thereafter be subrogated, solely to the extent of such Losses and subject to any and all limitations and obligations of such Buyer Indemnified Party, to the rights of such Buyer Indemnified Party to seek and receive payments from any third party in connection with such Losses, and such Buyer Indemnified Party shall execute such assignment of rights, and otherwise provide cooperation to the Shareholders Representative, in each case as the Shareholders Representative shall reasonably request in connection therewith, and the Shareholders Representative shall, in each case, pay such Buyer Indemnified Party’s out of pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

Section 9.06. Remedies. Subject to the provisions and limitations in Section 9.08, the foregoing indemnification provisions shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the matters set forth in this Agreement, and no Buyer Indemnified Party shall have any cause of action or remedy at law or in equity for breach of contract, tort, claims for environmental matters or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 9.07. Calculation of Losses. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by a Buyer Indemnified Party (a) shall be net of any insurance or other recoveries payable or paid to any Buyer Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts relating to the Losses (the “Indemnified Event”) and (b) shall be determined after taking into account (to the extent not previously taken into account in computing the amount of such Losses): (i) all increases in Taxes payable by the Buyer Indemnified Party and its Affiliates with respect to any actual receipt or accrual of an indemnification payment hereunder (including payments made pursuant to this clause (i)) or an amount described in clause (a) of this paragraph, (ii) all increases in Taxes payable by the Buyer Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in connection with the Indemnified Event, and (iii) all reductions in Taxes realized by the Buyer Indemnified Party and its Affiliates as a result of the Indemnified Event, but only to the extent such reductions are allocable to the periods ending on or prior to the close of the fifth (5th) full taxable year after the date of the Indemnified Event, as determined after first taking into account all other Tax items that are not attributable to such Indemnified Event

Section 9.08. Excluded Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the terms and conditions of this Article IX, including the limitations contained in Section 9.04, the limits of the Basket and the limits of the Cap, shall not apply to any claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Company or the Shareholders Representative based upon or arising out of (a) intentional fraud or willful misconduct by any of the Company or the

Shareholders Representative, or (b) any breach of the representations and warranties regarding title to shares contained in Section 3.05(b) or any breach of a representation or warranty made as to title of shares by a Shareholder under the applicable Letter of Transmittal, to the extent the aggregate amount of Losses in connection with any such breach exceeds One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Excluded Claims”); provided, that a matter referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.08 shall be an Excluded Claim only with respect to the Common Shareholder that held the shares as to which the breach of representation in Section 3.05(b) or in the Letter of Transmittal relates. With respect to the Excluded Claims or any intentional fraud or willful misconduct by any Shareholder, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall each have and retain any and all rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, including any actions for Losses, damages, specific performance, or injunctive or other equitable relief. Each of the Shareholders shall be severally liable for any Losses (i.e., each such Shareholder shall be liable for its Pro Rata share of such Losses) suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in connection with any Excluded Claims; provided, however, that the Losses with respect to any such claims shall be limited to each Shareholder’s Pro Rata share of the Merger Consideration.

respect to any Pre-Closing Income Tax Return required to be submitted to Buyer for review and approval pursuant to this Section 10.01, if Buyer disputes that any Pre-Closing Income Tax Return is prepared in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, Buyer shall provide written notice of such objection or dispute to the Shareholders Representative within ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return by Buyer, stating in reasonable detail the inconsistency forming the basis of the objection or dispute. If any such notice is provided, the Shareholders Representative and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith with a view toward resolving any such dispute or objection. If, after ten (10) Business Days from the date on which written notice was provided, any dispute or objection raised therein remains unresolved, the unresolved matter shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution pursuant to the procedures and terms set forth in Section 2.07(e)(ii); provided, that, the procedures set forth in Section 2.07(e)(ii) shall be controlling only to the extent not inconsistent with the terms and procedures of this Section 10.01 and, for the avoidance of doubt, in resolving any dispute, the Accounting Firm shall be bound by any Election and the 338(h)(10) Allocation (as finally determined) and shall address only the unresolved matters submitted for resolution pursuant to this Section 10.01.

Section 10.02. Cooperation. Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, the Shareholders Representative and the Closing Common Shareholders shall cooperate fully (including by making employees or the Company and its Subsidiaries and outside tax advisors or accountants reasonably available), as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with any Tax matters with respect to Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, Company and/or its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any such matters relating to the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a Tax liability or participating in or conducting any Tax Proceeding.

Section 10.03. Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalty and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by the Closing Common Shareholders, with the Closing Common Shareholders’ portion of such Transfer Taxes being paid from the Reserve Amount (to the extent thereof and then shall be paid by, and the several responsibility of, the Shareholders (based on each Shareholder’s Pro Rata share)), except to the extent such Transfer Taxes are taken into account in computing the Closing Date Net Working Capital. Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, with the cooperation of the Shareholders Representative, shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes; provided, however, that Buyer shall permit the Shareholders Representative to review and comment on, and approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) all such Tax Returns and documentation. If reasonably requested by Buyer, each of Shareholders Representative, Buyer, Newco, the Surviving Corporation, and the Company and each of the Company’s Subsidiaries will, or will cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of (or otherwise individually execute) any such Tax Returns and other documentation or certifications relating thereto. Buyer’s failure to timely file or prepare any Tax Return (or other documentation) relating to Transfer Taxes shall not relieve any Closing Common Shareholder from its obligations and responsibilities with respect to such shareholder’s portion of any Transfer Taxes (and related expenses) as set forth in this Section 10.03, but each such Closing Common Shareholder’s share of the Transfer Taxes shall not exceed its portion of such Transfer Taxes that would have been payable if such Tax Returns (or other documentation) had been timely filed.

Section 10.04. 338(h)(10) Elections. (a) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Buyer Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 relating to an election under Code Section 338(h)(10) with respect to the acquisition of the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, properly executed by the Company, each Shareholder and each other Person who is treated as a shareholder of the Company pursuant to Code section 1361(c)(2)(B) at the Effective Time (with respect to such Persons who are treated as shareholders of the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I), and any State Elections, no later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date or the Company shall provide to Buyer within such time period written notice setting forth those Elections that the Company is unable to provide as a result of one (1) or more Shareholder’s (or deemed Shareholder’s) refusal to execute such Elections, in which case the provisions of Section 2.01(k) shall apply. Following the Closing Date, the Company and each Shareholder shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer for purposes of effectuating timely comparable elections under state law in other jurisdictions as reasonably requested by Buyer (the Election under Code section 338(h)(10), the State Elections and such other elections, each an “Election” and collectively the “Elections”) and shall reasonably cooperate in the execution and filing of any forms or returns and any corrections or amendments thereof or supplements thereto, and agree to reasonably cooperate to timely provide such executed forms to Buyer so that Buyer can duly and timely file such forms with the appropriate Taxing Authority, in each case as and to the extent reasonably requested in writing by Buyer. Buyer shall promptly provide the Shareholders Representative with a copy of such forms as so filed.

(b) Within seventy-five (75) Business Days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide to the Shareholders Representative an allocation of the Merger Consideration (and all other relevant items) among the assets of the Company for purposes of Section 338 of the Code, which shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Code Section 338 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and in accordance with the principles set forth on Exhibit G and evidenced by a written schedule (the “338(h)(10) Allocation”). The Shareholders Representative shall, within thirty (30) Business Days after receiving the 338(h)(10) Allocation, provide Buyer with a written notice of any disagreement with the 338(h)(10) Allocation as provided by Buyer. In the event of any such disagreement, Buyer and Shareholders Representative shall negotiate to agree on revisions to the 338(h)(10) Allocation. If, after ten (10) Business Days from the date on which written notice was provided, any dispute or objection raised therein remains unresolved, unless both Buyer and the Shareholders Representative agree in writing to extend such negotiation period, the unresolved matter shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution pursuant to the procedures and terms set forth in Section 2.07(e)(ii); provided, that, the procedures set forth in Section 2.07(e)(ii) shall be controlling only to the extent not inconsistent with the terms and procedures of this Section 10.04(b) and the Accounting Firm shall address only the unresolved matters submitted for resolution pursuant to this Section 10.04(b). The 338(h)(10) Allocation shall become final upon the conclusion of the Shareholders Representative’s thirty Business Day review period referenced above (if no written notice of disagreement is timely provided), or, if a written notice of disagreement is timely provided, upon the resolution of all of the disagreements raised in such notice (either as a result of the parties’ negotiations or a final determination by the Accounting Firm).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates will be required to compensate any of the Closing Common Shareholders for any Taxes imposed on any Closing Common Shareholders under the applicable Tax laws resulting from any Election.

(d) Each party to this Agreement and each Closing Common Shareholder also agrees that it will (and that it will cause its Affiliates to) (A) be bound by the 338(h)(10) Allocation (as finally determined) for the purposes of determining any federal income Tax and applicable state and local income Tax, (B) report the transactions for Income Tax purposes that are consummated pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the 338(h)(10) Allocation (as finally determined), (C) to the extent appropriate, timely complete Internal Revenue Service Form 8883 consistent with the 338(h)(10) Allocation (as finally determined), and (if required to file such Internal Revenue Service Form) provide a copy of such form to Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Shareholders Representative (as applicable), and timely file a copy of such form with his, her or its federal income Tax Return as permitted or required under applicable Tax law, and (D) not take a position inconsistent with the Election or the 338(h)(10) Allocation (as finally determined) on any applicable Tax Return or in any Tax Proceeding except with the prior written consent of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Shareholders Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article IX, in the event that the 338(h)(10) Allocation is disputed by any Taxing Authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute will promptly notify the other parties hereto (provided that any notice required to be given to the Closing Common Shareholders shall be effectuated through notice to the Shareholders Representative) and Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Shareholders Representative will consult in good faith as to how to resolve such dispute in a manner consistent with the Election or the 338(h)(10) Allocation. The parties agree and acknowledge that the 338(h)(10) Allocation will be determined on an arm’s length basis upon a good faith determination of the respective fair market values of the assets of the Company.

Section 10.05. Certain Determinations. For purposes of determining any Taxes for which the Closing Common Shareholders shall be responsible with respect to any indemnification obligations under Article IX and the Taxes for a Straddle Period that are attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date (other than Transfer Taxes allocated under Section 10.03), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of any other Taxes of the Company for the Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period; provided, however, that Taxes in the form of interest, penalties, additions to Tax or other additional amounts that relate to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be treated as occurring in a Pre-Closing Tax Period whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before, or after the

Closing Date; provided, further, that any Taxes attributable to any transaction not in the ordinary course of business and not addressed in this Agreement shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date based on the portion of the Straddle Period in which such transaction occurs.

ARTICLE XI.

SHAREHOLDERS REPRESENTATIVE

Section 11.01. Shareholders Representative Appointment and Duties. Pursuant to the Letters of Transmittal, the Shareholders Representative will be appointed the exclusive agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for each of the Closing Common Shareholders. The Shareholders Representative shall have the authority to act for and on behalf of the Closing Common Shareholders, including, without limitation, (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) to receive and deliver to the Surviving Corporation surrendered certificates representing outstanding Common Shares, (iii) to communicate to, and receive all communications and notices from, Buyer, Newco, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, (iv) to do each and every act, implement any decision and exercise any and all rights which the Closing Common Shareholders are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, (v) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Closing Common Shareholders any amendment or waiver hereto, (vi) to negotiate, settle, compromise and otherwise handle any and all claims for indemnification made by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, (vii) to authorize delivery to Buyer of any funds and property in its possession in satisfaction of claims by Buyer, (viii) to object to such deliveries, (ix) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and commence, prosecute, participate in, settle, dismiss or otherwise terminate, as applicable, any litigation, action, proceeding or investigation, and to comply with orders of courts and awards of courts, mediators and arbitrators with respect to such litigation, action, proceeding or investigation, and (x) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all actions that the Shareholders Representative, in its sole discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The Shareholders Representative shall, in this regard, have all of the rights and powers which the Closing Common Shareholders would otherwise have, and the Closing Common Shareholders agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Shareholders Representative pursuant to this Agreement and any of the foregoing matters. The Shareholders Representative shall for all purposes be deemed the sole authorized agent of the Closing Common Shareholders until such time as the agency is terminated. Pursuant to the Letters of Transmittal, each of the Closing Common Shareholders will agree that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Shareholders Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Closing Common Shareholder. All decisions and actions by the Shareholders Representative shall be binding upon all of the Closing Common Shareholders, and no such Closing Common Shareholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

Section 11.02. Resignation or Removal of the Shareholders Representative. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Shareholders Representative as provided below, the Shareholders Representative may resign at any time thirty (30) days subsequent to giving notice thereof to the Closing Common Shareholders. Upon any such resignation, the Closing Common Shareholders may appoint a successor Shareholders Representative by a vote of the Closing Common Shareholders holding a majority of the Common Shares prior to the Closing. If no successor Shareholders Representative shall have been appointed by the Closing Common Shareholders and accepted such appointment within twenty (20) days after the retiring Shareholders Representative’s giving of notice of resignation or the Closing Common Shareholders’ removal of the Shareholders Representative, then the retiring Shareholders Representative may, on behalf of the Closing Common Shareholders, appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Shareholders Representative hereunder, such successor Shareholders Representative shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Shareholders Representative, and the retiring Shareholders Representative shall be discharged from his duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Shareholders Representative’s resignation hereunder as the Shareholders Representative, the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for such retiring Shareholders Representative’s benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by him while he was acting as the Shareholders Representative.

Section 11.03. Liability of Shareholders Representative. The Shareholders Representative shall not incur any liability to the Closing Common Shareholders with respect to any action taken in reliance upon any note, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by the Shareholders Representative to be genuinely and duly authorized, or for any other action or inaction in its capacity as the Shareholders Representative, excepting only the fraud or willful misconduct of the Shareholders Representative. The Shareholders Representative may, in all questions arising hereunder, rely on the advice of legal counsel and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Shareholders Representative based on such advice, the Shareholders Representative shall not be liable to any Closing Common Shareholders while acting in its capacity as Shareholders Representative. Each Closing Common Shareholder shall be liable, Pro Rata, for any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the Shareholders Representative in connection with the performance of its obligations as Shareholders Representative, including in the defense of any indemnification claim brought against the Closing Common Shareholders under Article IX. The Shareholders Representative shall have the right to demand payment for such expenses from each Closing Common Shareholder, Pro Rata.
